WANTS INDIANS FUND PAID
Congressman Esch Makes Demand
That the Winnebago Red Men Be
Allowed Their Money.

La Crosse.-That the sum of $4,000
in interest due to Wisconsin Whine
bagc Indians be paid Immediately will
be The recommendation of Congress
man Esch OF La Crosse following the
decision of the treasury department
that the trust fund of over $500.0
can not be distributed 10 the Indians
without further legal probing as to the
individuals entitled to it. There is
S49195 waiting in the treasury for
each of the 1,2eS Winnebagoes in Wis
consin The decision of the CONTROL
er is to the effect that no part of the
trust fund can be used to pay the sal
aries of the officers who have to hold
hearings to settle just what Indians
are entitled to the money and in what
proportion. Because the winter has
been the mildest on record there is
little suffering among the Indians.

Hiah Cost Of eovernment.

Democrats in control of congress
who are preparing to spend almost
81, JOG, 100000 year should read the
report of Secretary of Agriculture
Houston
The total value of the principal
crops of the United States for 1913
was about $4,000, 0OO,0 900. More than
one-f1fth of this goes for the national
government alone, to say nothing OF
the states and municipalities.
The corn crop. with value OF 81
500.000,000, was the only one that ex-
ceeded the national expenditure. The
cost of government is greater than the
combined value of the wheat. oat and
barley crops, 1t is greater than the
combined value of the hay and pota-
to crops. 1t is greater than the com
bined value of the cotton. tobacco
and rice crops.
One reason why the cost of living is
high is found in the fact that the cost
of government is high.-New York

VHEREISTHEPROOF?
Democratic Claims as to Peoples
Satisfaction Are Weak
Latest election Reports Certainly Dc
Not Show That the Party Is As
suredly Developing Strength
With the Voters.

II is the custom Of those who burn
incense before the present national
administration and do all that they
can to prevent its natural opponents
from uniting to make their strength
effective, to say that the country is
well pleased with Mr.. Wilson. his poi
icies and his party. II is often assert
ed that he has completely satisfied
the people" and made effective op-
position to his program impossible.
How do these supporters OF the adj
ministration know all this? Where
is their proof? How do they deduce
such conclusions from the latest cleo
ton returns? What foundation have
they for their assertions?
The record tells a different story.
It shows no such conditions. On the
contrary, the statistics furnish abun-
dant evidence that the party in power
at Washington is still a minority
party. that its head is still opposed in
respect to his policies and his political
methods. by a strong majority OF the
voters of the United States and that
he stands in no better position than
he did when he was elected. with his
two leading opponents polling about
100000 more votes than he received
That is the lesson of the returns
from Michigan last spring and from
New Jersey, Massachusetts, New
York, Ohio, Maryland and other states
where more or less extensive tests of
public sentiment were made at the
polls in November 1t is the only
reasonable conclusion to be drawn
from the elections in Chicago and st.
Louis and from many other tests OF
the position of the Democratic party
in the estimation of the public.
1t is commonplace of politics that
there is much increased activity and
confidence in the Republican party, in
many parts of the country, and that a
corresponding diminution of Demo
cratic hopes is clearly discerned By
those who watch the currents of pub
lie life and popular sentiment
In short, the pretense that the VIII
son administration has won the peo-
pie and broken down effective opposi-
ton is transparency insincere. Those
who understand the conditions exist
ing have no such decisions, whatever
they say for publication.

Food for Thought for Wilson.

In that somewhat academic detach-
ment in which President Wilson is
frequently observed to dwell he ap-
pears to have overlooked another fact.
Il his systam Of nominating presi-
dents had prevailed in the summer OF
1912 it is quite certain that Woodrow
Wilson would not now be president.
And it is equally certain that the pres
ident now. If Democrat, would be the
Hon. Champ Clark, with Mr.. William
