A Russe-ty Argument

Once in a while politician steps to the front
who is innocent enough to blab the real truth
about his party. Indianapolis was treated TO a
specimen of this delightful righteousness last
Tuesday when certain Paul Russo, candidate
for the nomination for county recorder, blurted
out the following in a meeting of the Woman S
Franchise League:
Il feel am under obligations to each and ev'
cry voter who works for me and l think they
should benefit by having the positions.
There is no need to call any Daniel to inter-
pref this writing. However much they may
squirm, every Democratic war-horse in the depth
of his soul knows this to be one of the frankest,
straightest, truest expressions ever made of
Democracy's real attitude toward the office hold
ing problem.
It is Democratic tradition and has been ever
since Andrew Jackson's time that to the victor
belongs the spoils, tradition which being inter-
preted means, "The civil service be damned, Fit
ness for the place be damned, Administrative eff
ficiency be damned, We drew the willing number
and to us belong the spoils. Let all the faithful
gather under the plum tree"
To the Jacksonian Democrat of which the
secretary of state is smiling example, any good
citizen can fill any office What are offices
anyhow" says the Jacksonan, IF not politi
cal patrimony, in which every good citizen should
have share? And why shouldn't offices be held
for brief terms and why shouldn't they be passed
around as often as possible in order to give all
vhack at them?'
This has been the plea since Jacksons time
the ancient and honorable argument, the glorious
tradition which has borne such splendid fruit as
Tom Taggart and Tammany Hall
But somehow other, the thing is becom-
ing weak in the knees. Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke,
g mere woman, unsophisticated by political ex-
perience, put question to the honorable Mr..
Russo which floored that gentleman and all he
stands for:
Don't you feel under obligations to any other
Of the taxpayers who contribute to your salary,
even if they don't vote for you?"
Shades of Andrew j.! No wonder the Indiana
Democrats refused to nail a suffrage plank in
their platform!

Wilson on Top

Until Tuesday, there were evidences to snow
that Champ Clark's opposition to the President
was animated by prejudices carried over from
the Baltimore convention. Leaders within his
own party didn't hesitate to accuse him of plot
ting Wilson's overthrow. A number of leading
Democratic papers charged him with the same
But now it appears from his arguments he has
been sincerely convinced throughout of the JUS
tice Of exempting our coastwise shipping from
paying tolls. Those paragraphs of his speech in
which he vindicates himself ruggedly sincere
and carry conviction.
The Democratic party was elected, he averred
on platform which demanded toll exemption 1t
should live up to that contract. The canal be-
longs to us and we are privileged to use it any
way we see fit Exempting tolls does not violate
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, he declared, and cited
a decision of the supreme court to back his argu-
ment. Only the railways will profit by this
repeal. Furthermore, and on this he dwelt at
length, the President has not given definite reas
ons for asking his party to repudate it's platform
These opinions are honest, if they do not per-
suade one to his views. They so impressed the
house, even if that body did vote against them
and the fact number of representatives voted
against them is not altogether due to their own
convictions on the question but to holy fear of
the Big Stick
AS Clark indicated in his speech, Wilson has
given detailed reasons for asking the exemp-
ton clause repeal. He merely put the thing in
the form of a personal request.
But that was sufficient. There never has
been President since Washington more COM
pletely in control of the national party than Will
is at this moment. During his prediction
campaign, he took Roosevelt to task for using
club but that doughty executive never welded
the weapon effectively than Wilson him
self does It may be good thing for the coun-
try that this is So but if he fails the whole DEM
ocratic party can embark on Secretary Bryan's
good ship "Piffle' and spread it's sails for Salt
River.

greed for insurance money has been
found to be the chief cause.

the report, st has caused the total
cancellation of insurance amounting
to approximately $43,365. These risks

ance of the policies cancelled would

that the total insurance cancelled ex-
ceeds the annual allowance for main

Three obstacles to the work of the
legal department in it's efforts toward
stamping out arson are set forth in
the report as follows:
First. Extensive over-insurance,
the result of carelessness on the part
of local insurance agents in the ex-
animation of insurance risks.
Second The lack Of surveillance
and cooperation on the part of prose
cutting attorneys.
Third Inadequacy Of the criminal

Report of Fire Marshal Shops
Loss of $6,OOO,OOO in 8 Months

INDIANAPOLIS, April 2.-Fire loss
es in Indiana during the first eight
months of the existence of the fire
marshal's office, have reached a total
of s5,932,11O. More than 6,20S fires
have occurred within that period.
Such is the waste from fire in this
state, as set forth in the first annual
report to the Governor, of the Indi-
ana state fire marshal.
AN examination of the causes of
these fires argues for the necessity of
fire prevention" says the report. Six
ty-five per cent of all the fires which
have occurred are clearly prevent

Indiana shows a high number of fires.
Three Divisions.
AS outlined in the report, the work
of the fire marshal's office during the
first eight months has been divided
among three departments. the inspec-

division is under the charge of the

A Billionaiire

Frederick Weyerhaueser is lying at the point
of death in his winter home at Pasadena, Califor-
MIA. Every expedient known to the medical pro-
fession, however costly, is being used to prolong
his life
Weyerhaueser is worth, so it is said almost
billion dollars. big sum? Try to imagine what
a billion dollars means. After you have attempt
ed that, try to conceive how any human being
can possibly have earned a billion dollars. That
will be more difficult puzzle, guarantee, than
the former. And we anticipate your con-
ciusion that he nor anybody else ever has or
could, under our present economic system, earn
a billion
Of course he didn't earn it. 1t was given to
him. And it was the people of the United States
who made him the present.
Weyerhaueser is like one of the big English
Dukes which Lloyd George is now fighting-he
is landlord The land over which he is lord is
covered with timber. 1t is the lumber cut from
these forests that has given him his billion.
But he paid for it,. Probably he did, but
that was many years ago when timber was cheap.
He simply held on to it for few years. Popula-
ton rapidly increased demands for lumber went
up and the lumber lord cashed in the difference.
1t wasn't Weyerhaueser who created that value.
1t was the ninety million people moving in about
his lands, toiling, saving, building, that created
it. They created it, but the laws of the land per-
mitted him to keep it.
If Henry George were living now he would
make good use Of Weyerhaueser as typical ex-
ample of "private appropriation of unearned in
crement" But Henry George doesn't need to
return from the land of shades: after we have de-
veloped a few more Weyerhauesers, there will be
good many Henry Georges on hand

Anxious ENGLAND

In the eye of the world, the stir in the British
Parliament is due to the Ulster rebellion, but if
one had an X-ray eye trained in international
politics, one might see standing alongside the
Irish spectre another looming shape infinitely
more terrifying to John Bull-the German war
scare
For many years, German leaders with Kaiser
William at their head have been plotting their
great scheme of Pan-Germanism. The intent of
this is nothing else than that German industries
shall dominate Europe, that the German reich

and that Germany shall become the worlds great
