ARE We READY?

All indications point to a record
breaking crowd of visitors next week
to the first free great state fair in
history.
Are we as Topekans prepared to
care for them; to be hospitable?
1t will be impossible for the hotels
and boarding houses to care for the
crowd, Just as it is impossible for them
to house and room the visitors at the
Teachers convention and other big
gatherings
It is suggested that the Commercial
club or some committee get busy and
receive notice of rooms and prices
available in private homes, and let
visitors, otherwise not provided for,
be registered and assigned rooms as

sacred duty to defend our country to

The Fall of Grand Duke Nicholas.
The action of Emperor Nicholas in
transferring his cousin, the grand
duke to the Caucasian front, is per-
haps the most important change of
this nature which has been made by
any of the belligerent nations. The
only comparable incident was the re-
tirement of Emperor William in Oc-
tober of last year of Lieut.. Cen Count
Helmuth Moltke chief of the
general staff.
The post to which Grand Duke
Nicholas has been transferred is of rela
tive unimportance as compared with
the prestige and vast powers of his
former office as commander-in-chi
of all Russia's great fighting forces.
The Caucasian campaign presents only
a minor aspect of the war. The Rus
sian and Turkish forces involved in
the struggle in the Black Sea region
are not large.
Although there was heavy fighting
in the Caucasus earlier in the war,
hostilities have been conducted in only
prefunctory manner for several
months as both of the nations in
volved had need of all available forces

DESTRUCTIVE

Prior to his election, Woodrow VII
son posed as an ardent advocate %
popular government and decried usur.
patton Of legislative power by the Exc.
cutive. Since his Inauguration as Pres
ident every executive action has been
along the line Of Capitalization Of
power and establishment Of executive
dictatorship, ever to the extent Of as
saming the sole right of initiating and
directing legislation.
Continuation of this policy i%nevita-
bly, means destruction of popular and
representative government, resulting
il Congress becoming merely an echo
ct the White House, and an instrument
for passing appropriation bills and
delegating legislative and veto powers
to such bureaus, departments and com
missions as the President may direct.
The state is being rapidly absorbed by
the President.
The situation in Europe today, where
the people Of all the leading nations
have been involved in war by the ae-
ton Of their executives, should demon
s,rate to every thoughtful nan the
danger and menace Of embodying the
state in any individual. There is more
wisdom and greater national safety IN
the wellconsidered judgment of Con
gIess composed of 531 men than in the
judgment Of any one man who ever
lived or ever viii live. The men who
constitute our Congress were chosen by
the people to make our laws and shape
cur national policies. The President was
chosen to advise Congress by message
and to execute the laws Congress may
enact.
Had President Wilson been a real
advocate Of popular government, he
would have called Congress into extra
ordinary session months ago and rec
onmended by message the raising Of
such funds as Congress might End nee
essary for an adequate navy and army.
especially for submarines and MUM
lions Of defense. Had he done this,
there would have been slight probabili
ty Of the occurrence of the Lusitania
and Arabic incidents or the embargo
upon American cotton.
Under the policy Of executive dieta
torship, conducted either personally or
Through the agency of bureaus, de-
partments and commissions, individual
initiative is being rapidly crushed out
il this country. Private enterprise not
only suffers the ordinary difficulties Of
competition and misfortune, but labors
under the handicap of intermittent
and uncertain regulation by men who
perhaps were never able to conduct a
successful enterprise Of their own.
Dictatorship in national government
has led us TO the verge of national hui
initiation. Dictatorship over private
enterprise has almsst crushed out indi
vidual initiative. Unless this move
ment is soon checked, it must lead to
paternalism, dry rot, and ultimate dis
solution.
