THE MCKINLEY WAY

When Mckinley was governor OF
Ohio great railway strike was
threatened. He was notified that II
he did what he regarded as his
duty in connection with that threat
he would never be president Of the
United States. Promptly came the
reply: 1--WE will take care of the
strike first and the presidency af-
terwards." There seems to be some
difference between candidates for
that great office. Other men, or at
least one other man, would have
used his influence to have the
strike postponed till after the cleo
tion.

FARMERS TO BEAR BURDEN

On the farmers of the country
will fall the heaviest burden if con-
gress does not repeal Mr.. Wilson'S
railway wage increase bill is the
contention of Henry N. Pope, presi-
dent of the Association of State
Presidents of the Farmers Union.
Mr.. Pope says that the farmers of
the country stand for fair wages
and an eight-hour day, but that
when they find "the highest paid
laborers in the world demanding a
25-per cent increase and congress
Fastening to their relief, the farm
ers are thoroughly dissatisfied.
Mr.. Pope declares that the increas-
ed freight rates advocated by Presi
dent Wilson are certain to fall
most heavily on the farmers, be-
cause they are compelled to ship
practically all of their products,
because of their bulk, etc. Mr.. Polk
asserts that the railway employees
so benefited enjoy incomes far in
excess of those enjoyed by farmers
and that 'the average farm in
come is only $147 a day, out OF
which must be paid the expenses of
the family" Referring to the pro-
posed increase of freight rates, he
says: This increase must, in the
end, rest upon the back of the
farmer and will reduce his income.
increase his hours of labor and call
for another levy of farm mothers
from the home to the field"
Abilene weekly reflector., 1916-09-21

Commenting on the Maine cleo
tion the New York Evening Post
says: The trouble is that so much
is needed to give Wilson the cleo
tion; nothing short of the estab-
lishment of a really strong hold on
elements which in 1912 were not
to be found in the Democratic ranks
can turn the minority votes which
carried state after state for him by
pluralities against a split opposition
into majority votes. And the omin-
GUS thing about the Maine election
is that it fails to give any sign of
such an achievement.

SMOOTH Old ALvARApo

President Wilson is one of the
greatest men that ever lived"
So spoke Gen. Salvador Alvarado,
governor OF Yucatan and comman-
der-in-chief of all the Carranza
troops in the southeast of Mexico.
It was a tribute to be expected from
the man who by an arbitrary order
compelled all sisal raisers to turn
their product to the Yucatan gov
ernment and then when complete
control had been secured raised the
price from AZ cents to 10% cents
a pound, the present figure. Kansas
uses about is million pounds Of
binding twine annually. An in
crease Of one cent pound means
Sl50,000 to the farmers Of the
state. Alvarado has made the twine
used in this state cost nearly a
million dollars more than it would
except for his action. The Wilson
administration appointed a com
Abilene weekly reflector., 1916-09-21

mission" to Investigate the outrage
on American farmers; 1t took lot
of testimony, and then apparently
the report was smothered. At least
nothing has been done. Its chair,
man is a Democrat from Louisiana
and the sisal trust is financed by
New Orleans banks-which may
have some bearing on the subject.
We can't blame Alvarado for his
feeling in the matter-it means
millions with which to finance the
Carranza bandits and buy American
arms with which to continue the
hostile attacks on Americans in
Mexico and on the border. vive la
Alvarado, smooth old boy!
Abilene weekly reflector., 1916-09-21

Why President Wilson wanted to
purchase the Danish West Indies
now becomes clear. 1t was to fur
nish the usual Interpretation Of his
own utterances. In his Memorial Day
address this year President Wilson
said: America does not want any
additional territory" and on Jan
uary 30, this year, he said at Cleve-
land: There is not a foot of terri
tory belonging to any other nation
which this nation covets or desires"
Abilene weekly reflector., 1916-09-21
WILSON AND THE EMBARGO

Mr.. Roosevelt gives a graphic ac-
count Of how Mr.. Wilson has contin-
ually changed his mind on the sub
ject of permitting arms and ammu-
milton to go into Mexico. In Aug
ust, 1913, Mr.. Wilson announced
in his message to congress that he
would not permit arms to go in and
established the embargo. On Feb
ruary 2, 1914. he changed his mind
and raised the embargo. A couple
OF hundred American soldiers, sail
ors and civilians were killed or
wounded during the next two
months. On April %, Mr.. Wilson
changed his mind again and re-
stored the embargo, "but on May
Is, he changed his mind again and
the embargo was lifted so far as
shipments to Tampico and other
Mexican ports were concerned" On
September the embargo was lift
ed everywhere. "On October 29,
1915, when all the factions had
been amply supplied, "Mr. Wilson
changed his mind again and restor-
ed the embargo" Mr. Roosevelt
continues: "On October 20, last,
therefore, Mr. Wilson specifically
permitted arms to be sent to the
same Carranza who, in the month
of September, 80 days previous on
four specific occasions, invaded
American territory and butchered
American citizens, mutilating them
before or after death. On the date
when this embargo was thus raised,
the names of 276 Americans who
had been murdered had been Off
cially placed on file. How many
others had been murdered cannot
at the present be told"
Mr.. Roosevelt also gives evidence
to show that 100000 rounds of
soft-nosed shells have been shipped
from American factories to Carran-
"a since last March, which under
parallel circumstances in any other
country would be a cause for a
prison sentence for the shipper-if
not worse.
Abilene weekly reflector., 1916-09-21
THE ILLINOIS PRIMARY

The outstanding fact in the fig
ures of the Illinois primary is the
excess of the Republican over the
Democratic vote. Incomplete re-
turns show that the three candi-
dates for the Republican nomina-
tion received approximately 100000
more votes than were polled by all
the Democratic candidates for that
nomination Such a great disparity
in party strength as is shown in
these figures cannot but be a bar
ometer indicating the result of the
election in that state in November.
Present indications are that the to-
tai Republican vote has approx
mated 80 per cent of that polled for
Taft and Roosevelt in 1912, while
the total Democratic vote will fall
little short of being so per cent
of the vote cast for Wilson in that
year. The strong opposition of the
Sullivan faction to the renomina-
tion of Gov. Dunno, and the ener-
getic campaign made by the COVER
nor's supporters to renominate him,
brought to the primary polls a to-
tai of Democrats 10000 less than
the total OF Republicans voting for
Lowden, Hull and Smith.

roads measures doubtless will be

but the one that ought to be passed
will be the one which provides for
the proper maintenance of road

Maine election. Had he been elected
president we should have had some
picturesque state papers that would
have added to the hilarity of ma

THE BUDGET SYSTEM

Among the forward looking mea-
sures which Governor Capper will
urge the next legislature to con-
slider will be the budget system for
handling state appropriations. Pres
ident Wilson, former President Taft
and Governor Hughes are staunch
advocates of the budget system In
his recent speech at Sparks, Kan,
the governor laid particular empha-
sis on this issue as a means of rid
ding the state and the nation of
pork barrel legislation.
II fought against the log-rolling,
pork barrel politicians two years
ago." said Governor Capper. IF re-
elected / shall be delighted to keep
up that fight with all the earnest
ness I possess. The remedy is the
budget system. There is nothing
that will deal the pork barrel a
harder blow in the Stats. The bud
get is a complete list of needed ap-
preparations. The budget system
authorizes the governor to present
in advance to the legislature a care
fully itemized schedule of the needs |
of the state, its departments, its
schools, its charitable institutions
and reformatories. The legislature 7
cannot add to the budget, but may |
reduce items. After the legislature
has adopted the budget, it may pass
other appropriations if it likes, but
these appropriations are subject to
two safeguards-the governors veto
and the adoption by the legislature
of a special tax levy to pay for
these additional appropriations And
the legislature that does that un-
justifiably will most certainly and
unmistakably hear from the people
It's fate will be a warning, IL any
warning is needed, to all other
legislatures that come after.
with a budget system for
guidance of the legislature, running
expenses, maintenance charges and
estimates of needed improvements
will vary no more than they do in
any we'll conducted business, If the
same authority is given the governor
to disallow or approve them as is
given to the manager of every big
business. This kind of a system will 1
come Just as soon as the people de-
nand it. but it will never come un-
