AN END OF AUTOcRACY.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-(Special
Correspondence)-Col. Richmond P
Davis, assistant chief of the coast ar
tillery division of the war department
will be removed from that position de-
spite the fact that he is one Of the
best informed artillery officers in the
army and despite the fact that his
term of service here is but half over
Col. Davis offence is that he replied
to questions from members of con
gress relating to the provisions of the
army bill while it's passage was pend
ing; and he is to be disciplined in
consequence. A Short time ago Sec
|retary Baker addressed a circular in
quiry to army officers living in Wash
ington asking If they had talked about
the army. legislation, and Col. Davis
acknowledged that he had tried to en-
tighten congressman who came to
him for information. 1t seems that the
|giving out of information about the
army is to be reserved as q special
prerogative of the two "boy mayors
who are now holding the chief posts
at the war department and that it is
at least a misdemeanor, if not crime
for anyone to talk who knows any.
thing about a military subject. So
Col. Davis is to be, exiled.
The question readily arises, how
are congressman to get information
about pending legislation if they can
not talk to officers who know some.
thing? This is plainly of small mo.
ment to the people who are now run
ming the administration and they
probably prefer that congress should
not have information, anyway.
The Davis incident serves to empha'
size how dependent congress now is
for information upon the executive de-
partments and it shows how an adj
ministration can hamper congress in
the pursuit of it's duties if the desire
to do so exists. A remedy might be
found in the passage of a law, requir.
ing Officers and subordinate function.
aries generally to give up to congress
or any, of the members. 81 of congress
such information as may be the object
|of searchv-but a far better way would
be to set up some machinery to en-
able congress to get it's own informa.
|tiOn at first hand. VA; S,.
Such a plan has been discussed. If
both houses of congress should unite
in establishing their own committees
|of information, to whom would be &C.
|cessible-in honor, of course-all the
information which the departments
now conceal in their secret archives
there would be no occasion for con-
gressmen to embarrass men as Col.
Davis is now embarrassed, and legis.
lation could be framed upon proper
basis of fact uncolored by executive
opinion.
The discipline which Secretary Bak.
err has visited upon Col. Davis may
have very good effect in the end.

Grimes Voted Against Ifpeaehment

The most dramatic anu statesman
like episode in the career. Of James
W. Grimes, the centennial of whose
birth occurs on October Goth, was his
vote against the Impeachment of Pres.
ident Andrew Johnson in 1868, de;
clares member Of the research staff
of the State Historical Society of
Iowa. A few days before the final vote
was taken the Iowa senator suffered
a stroke of paralysis; but his sense Of
duty was so strong that he insisted on
going to- the senate chamber to, cast
his vote on May 10Th. When his name
was called he was given permission
to remain seated. With the assistance
OF. friends, however, he arose and in a
clear voice voted mot guilty" Thirty.
five senators voted in favor of impeach
ment and nineteen against; and thus
only one vote was lacking to make up
the two thirds vote necessary to i'm.
peach the president. Senator Grimes
was bitterly condemned by a major
ity of the members of his party at the
time, but later and calmer judgment
has yindicated and approved his
action.

w. A. Graham Clark, of the depart.
ment of commerce, has written re-.
port entitled Development of an
American Linen Industry" One Of
tile questions considered in the re.
port is that of convincing the Ameri.
can public that American made linen
'ds as good as any other. Another ques.
ton suggested as worthy of careful
consideration is that, of restoring the
republican protective rates Of duty
on flax manufactures, thereby building
up this industry in this country and
acquainting the American public with
the American made product. Here is
an industry that needs fostering. The
democrats committed themselves to
protection of the dye industry, but laid
nonprotective rates. Are not the re.
publicans better qualified to encourage
flax manufacture?

: Great Time For Advertising.

A Great Time For Advertising.
There are times when 1t takes faith
Ito advertise. If business is dull and
people out of work, it takes persis.
tent merchant to keep drumming his
bargains into the public mind. It pays
even then, but not everyone can see
it. l:
The advantages of advertising at
the present time seem too obvious to
|call for much argument. The country
is prosperous whether you regard
that prosperity as due to the European
war or to the present administration.
AS a whole, the people have money to
spend The merchant with any spirit
of enterprise takes advantage of this
prosperity. &s'a
Times like these are as great2a help
to the merchandising as if the popula.
Ftion4 of the town had. suddenly increas.
ed. With suitable pushing, any store
ought to greatly increase it's sales.
But those that make no effort to get
it will not do much more business than
usual. The people are reading the
newspapers to 1 see how long felt
wants can be supplied at the lowest
figures. hs2

The time is coming when the princi
pies of the party and not the maneuv
ering of the candidates must bear up
en- the veal or woe of the country
When the war in Europe is ended the
test of the policies of the republican
and democratic parties will be tested
as they have never been before, and
judging by the past there is little
question but what republican policies
will prove the greater benefit to the
country. The temporary prosperity
which now obtains, as everyone knows
comes from the foreign demand for
the products of the farm and factory
in this country. When that demand
ceases then our market at home is the
thing that will determine our pros
perity and not the foreign demand
created by the war in Europe.

We understand that since the Maine
election democratic campaign manag'
ers are a trifle wary about assigning
southern orators for northern states.
The southern accent is believed to
have grated more than a little upon
the ears of Maine, where SO many
southern spellbinders advocating de-.
mocracy were looked upon as tangible
evidence of the southern domination
of the party which is SO offensive to
the tax-paying north. So now the hunt
is for northern orators for northern
states. The only trouble is that the
really leading democrats are all south.
erners and if only a small fry are to
be put on the stump the effect will not
be so good upon the audiences, who
will think they are being sighted.
