POOR MILLIONAIRES.
Respectfully,
JOHN w. ROWLE

Seventy-fiye years old, frail in
physique if not feeble in health,
John D. Rockefeller gets out of Ohio
with a hastily packed grip just as
the Cleveland tax-collectors are
grasping at his coat tails. Long days
at golf have aided his muscular agil-
ity, but his creaking old bones pro-
test at being hurried. Even with
$12,69O,000 to sprint for, John D.
seems to be getting tired.
And what's the use? Here in
New York the internal-revenue col
lector will shower him with blanks
and arrest him if he lodges them. If
he acquires six months domicile in
England they will levy upon him an
income tax compared with which
ours is water-light. In Italy or
Spain it might rise even to 20 per
cent. In Germany he would be grip
ped and made to give up not part
of his income merely but part of
his capital as voluntary offering
for the permanent military defense
of the Fatherland of the Rockefel-
lers. If he should flee to wild AL
bania or Morocco, what a prize to
carry off and hold for bandits ram
som!

earth where poor old millionaire

THE FRANCHISE A STATE CUES
TION

The house democrats were entire
ly in harmony with the fundamental
principles of their party when they
took the position that woman suf-
frage is a state and not national
question. From the organization OF
the government the principle has
held true-with one sorry exception
that the separate states shall con-
troll the franchise within their own
borders. That is what was clearly
intended when the Constitution of
the United States was made TO pro-
vide that 1.-The electors in each state
(as regards representatives, shall
have the qualifications requisite for
electors Of the most numerous
branch of the state legislature
Any state can still reimpose the
property qualification of former days
or ADVANCE the age limit for voters,
or create an educational qualifica-
ton. Any state can remove any dis
abilities that deny the vote to any
element of it's citizenship. BY this
same rule nine states have extended
the suffrage to women, and more will
soon follow their example. The
elasticity Of the system of local self
government by the states alone has
made the progress of woman suffrage
possible.
The only time that the nation de-
parted from the principle of state
control of the franchise it reopened
the issues of the civil war and Great
ed new causes for race hatred and
race strife, which still 'perplex it, de-
spite the fact that southern constitu-
lions have practically nullified the
amendment.
If an equal suffrage amendment
to the constitution were secured by
it's advocates, it would not be long
before some of the southern states
began to enact grandmother clauses
to disfranchise women, like the
grandfather clauses by which the
negroes are disfranchised in the
south.
The democratic majority in respect
to equal suffrage is standing on the
solid ground of the constitution and
a hundred and twenty-five. years of
experience.-New York World.

THE GOVERNOR IS EXPLAINING

When you get man to explaining
he is half licked.
That is the situation Gov. Clarke
finds himself in today. He is making
speeches all over the state wherever
he can get a chance, explaining thu
capitol extension fight.
While we have not thought it wa!
worth the fight that is being made
yet blind man ought to see the row
that has been stirred up. The people
are in arms as they have not been il
years.
Gov. Clarke ought to stay at home
and attend to his business and lei
this fight blow over.
Every speech he makes just gets
him in that much farther. The
people think the stunt was pulled of
without due consideration and they
are resenting it. There is nothing
an American will fight over quicker
than to have it appear that he has
been bunkoed.
If the capitol purchase is a good
thing, it will justify itself in time
and nothing but time will adjust
folks to it. All the speeches he can
make from now until doom's day will
not help him. There is only one
thing that will adjust it and that is
time.
But he is not patient enough to
wait. He is making speeches defend
ing himself And not only that,
but he has men out defending the
road law. The road law may be all
right. 1t may work out to be good
thing, but the people do not believe
in it. The more Senator Ames and
men like him explain the worse it
will be.
The feeling of the people was
shown here when they heckled Sen
ator Ames week ago last Saturday.
They did not dislike Senator Ames
who is mighty fine fellow. He is
a very agreeable gentleman, and we
like him, but he "got in bad" advo-
eating the law as he did. Taxpayers
are mad and they are mad as wet
hens. Yves White the other day said
his taxes on his so acre tract are $26
more than ever before. lie is re-
publican, standpatter at that, but
he does not like to pay taxes any bet
ter than some of our democratic
friends. Folks are all of a kidney
when it comes to spending their
money in taxes.
He admitted that he did not like
it, and he was not at all polite about
the way he said it, nor about what he
said of the republican who raised
the taxes. Everybody is explaining
and the more they explain the worse
off they are.
Some kind friend who is next to
Gov. Clarke ought to tell him to lei
the tail go with the hide and to quit
explaining. Every time he makes g
speech, he makes bad matter
worse Washington Democrat.

WHAT THE FARMERS THINK.

Down at Birmingham at the re.
cent Farmers Institute, Gov. Clarke
made an address before the institute
in which he did whole lot of ex-
planning about the capitol extension
act, but evidently he failed to con-
vince the farmers that it was wise
or lawful act. for the institute adopt
ed on the same day the governor
spoke. the following resolution:
without reference to any party,
be is resolved,
THAT we condemn the two mil
lion dollar capitol ground extension
act of the last legislature, as di-
rect violation of the constitution, be-
cause it was not submitted to the
people, and we urge our next legis-
lature to repeal the law"

WEISELL FOR CONGRESS.

There has been a good deal of
quiet talk of Editor Weisell of the
Corning Free Press becoming a can
didate for congress in this district.
There is no man in the district
that the American could support
more cheerfully than Mr.. Weisell
For many years Mr.. Weisell has
been loyal consistent fighter for
progressive democracy. He gave
Wilson a strong, energetic and en-
thusiastic support from the first. He
is man of ability, honesty and in
tegrity, and we believe he would
have the enthusiastic support of ev-
cry democrat in the district. We
hope Mr.. Weisell will conclude to
make the race and we assure him
that me democracy OF Union county
will stand by him. Creston Ameri-

THE wAvERLY CLOSING.

The Telegraph-H Herald feels not the
slightest confusion in dealing with
the situation arising from the clos
ing down of the beet sugar factory
at Waverly.
The Telegraph erald's informa.
ton is that this factory was estab-
lished six years ago and that much
of the machinery installed was sec.
ond hand and obsolescent. In the
entire six years, Notwithstanding the
sugar industry has had the benefit
of the highest tariff in the country
history, the company has paid nc
dividends, and, except for last year
when it made a profit of $1,000,
has been money loser.
We have heard various reason as.
signed for the failure of the plant
to produce dividends. One business
reason is that the overhead charge is
too great considered in relation to
the output; that with practically the
same overhead charge the output
could be increased largely and an
other is that mistake was made
originally in the construction of the
factory.
With the reason for the failure of
the factory to make profit, we are
not particularly concerned. The
great fact of moment is that under
the most favorable tariff conditions
the operation of the factory was con-
Quoted at loss.
In the published announcement of
the general manager of the company
in the Bremen County Independent,
this statement appears: For the
campaign of 1913 we had to turn
down thousands of acres of beets
that were offered to be grown for us
because we could not handle them
This is an admission that with more
than enough sugar beets available
the factory management recognized
the hopelessness of profitable opera
ton.
This condition clearly argues
something wrong with the plant it.
self and conclusively establishes that
irasmuch as the factory was not OPP
Grated profitably during the six years
of the highest protection the sugar
industry ever knew, it does not lie
in the mouth of anyone to charge the
closing down of the factory to free
sugar ina, is not to be realized until
1916.
The truth of the matter is as to
Waverly that the plant has not shown
a profit on operation because profit
able operation was not possible. And
the capitalists owning the factory
prefer to stop their loss now rather
than continue Improbable operation.
The Tc1egraph-HeTald is sorry
that Waverly is to lose the benefits
arising from the operation of the SUI
gar factory. But the farmers of
Rremer and other counties, who have
been cultivating sugar beets, will lose
nothing; they can turn their atten-
ton to the profitable operation of
raising ccrn and other cereals. The
city itself will lose very little in the
loss of the wages paid those en-
plored at the factory because other
occupations will open at Waverly
and in good time it will find things
in balance. But should it not, it can
nave no censure for the democratic
policy of free sugar. because what
closed down the sugar factory was
not free sugar, but a net loss after
six years of operation under sugar
schedules written by the sugar in
terests themselves.-Dub Tele-
