OF this country with a very small ex-
ception, did not publish it. And then
sometime after this happened came
the self-annointed and self-appointed
saviour of the people of the United
States and laid his tribute at the feet
Of the war lord whom our ,autocracy
hailed as a peaceful miltarist-Roose-
welt. 1.-The n man outside this
country from whom I obtained help
in bringing about the peace of Ports
mouth, was his majesty, William II.
. This was a real help to the
of international peace, a on
tribution that far outweighed any
amount of mere talk about it in the
abstract, for in this, as in all other
matters, an ounc of performance is
worth a ton of promise. This
touching tribute from Theodore has
been widely quoted and just as wide
ly laughed at by those whose ordinary
common sense enabled them to IN
derstand the Interior motives that ac-
tuated this Prussian dreamer of world
power at the time of the Russian-J ap-
anese a And then the notorious
political agent of autocracy, VIM. H.
Taft, came forward with a tribute to
Gods active partner (O-the Kaiser,
as follows: 1.-THE truth Of history re-
quires the verdict, that, considering
the critically important part which
has been his among nations, he has
been, for the last quarter of a EN-
fury, the greatest single individual
force in practical maintenance Of
peace in the world" To those who
know anything about the history of
Prussian militarism the tribute of
Taft's is a joke. The praises for this
decorated barbarian by u former
presidents don't listen good to the
patriots nov These gentlemen, high
in American politics, guardians of the
deer peepul," etc., were busy prais-
ing and boosting the stock of this
human hyena and his followers while
the Socialists of this and other our
tries were doing their utmost to show
what the German autocrat really
was. The Socialists were laughed at
then for denouncing the Kaiser and
all his kind as autocrats of the worst
kind. Now, then, who would it ap-
pear knew what they e talking
about at that time?
If Kaiser Bill could have seen the
manner in which the girls of this
neghborhood took hold of the field
work this fall he would be ready to
quit without any more trouble for he
would realize that we are going to
get his goat, whiskers and all.

DOINCS AT STATE CAPITAL

The dismembering Of the Second
regiment, as everything else connec-
ted with the present administration
has been dragged into politics. The
fact that the War Department saw
tit to use this regiment for recruiting
other regiments has, Of course, been
laid at Governor F~razier's door. The
facts are that Governor Frazier has
devoted more time and energy to
the organization Of this regiment
and creating its officers than to any
one problem which has come before
him. That there could have possibly
been any deal between him and Col
onel Frank White is precluded by any
n who has any knowledge of the
men. After mature deliberation,
Governor Frazier issued the orders
for the organization of the Second
Regiment and he was guided in his
selection of its officers by his mil
itary advisors. No one has found
any fault with Colonel White and no
one q now reasonably find any fault
neither could they expect the past
governor Of the state, a man of es-
TEEN and respect Of the entire state,
to hang onto this position on the
Board Of Regents simply to further
the political end Of certain factions
in the state. The organization of
the Second Regiment was not prompt
ed by politics and the plucky fight
put up by Governor Frazier to secure
the acceptance Of it's officers and or
~ganization is one Of the most credit
able acts Of his administration The
attempt to drag him into partisan
politics shows how far we have drift
ed toward a political rule or ruin
policy.
i. One Of the strange paradoxes Of
human experience is that even the
business man when he finds himself
in public office conducts that office
on anything but business lines, while
on the other hand, some man, who
has little, Il any, business experience
on being induced into public office,
conducts that office in a most business
like manner. The present state I'D
ministration is made up Of anything
but what are usually termed busi=
ness men. Of course every man In
q sense IL q business man bat in the
accepted term, the business men a
bout the capital are scarce yet many
reforms of a business nature have
been inaugurated IA various depart
'ments.
It was generally supposed that the
State Auditors office was conducted

along business lines. While this
may have been more or less true, vet
the present auditor, C. r. Kositzky
has inaugurated a large number OF
reforms which will have the tendency
to curtail state expenditures. AS an
example, he has inaugurated a sys-
tenn of checking the mileage used by
the state officials and employees. BY
purchasing mileage tickets, a saving
Is made to the Board of Y cent a mile
but it is also a temptation for the Of
fetal to travel. Heretofore no record
has been kept of the books purchased
or of the miles travelled. At the pres
ent time, careful records must be
made to the auditor by each official,
showing when, where and for what he
used the mileage. Each mileage book
is entered upon a ledger and it's con-
tents carefully checked so that the
State Auditor knows whether or not
an official is accommodating mileage
books, for what purpose he is using
them and when and where he used
the mileage of each book.
He is also carefully checking back
the returns of state taxes by coun-
ties and has found that it pays He
has also inaugurated a campaign to
secure the payment to the various
counties for insane patients which
have been cared for at public expense
and ONE Of them 70 rmany years, but
who own sufficient property that
their estates can and should pay the
expuense not borne by the county.
In every possible way, Etate Aud
itor Kositzky and hia efficient dep
uty, Ole X. Lund Of Steele, have
striven and \ striving to put the
State Auditors office, the great
bookkeeping departmnt of the state,
q business basis.

Robinson. And now many of the

joke is decidedly Of the Messenger.

1914 read as follows: "Twenty-three
suits for damages for deaths in the
Triangle shirt waist factory fire

rate Of $500 per death, at New

they set up a howl about protecting

1.-THE President would rather lose the
war than recommend or consent to a
restoration of Protective Tariff dutiesr'
This was the recent remark of promi-
nent member of the Congress of the
United States. Over and over again the
long headed, prudent Protectionists of
the Senate and house have pleaded in
committees for such an increase In the
Tariff as would double or treble the
present meagre income of $40, 600, 600 q
year from duties on $4,000, 600. 900 of
imports. Many Democrats have de-
clared that they would like to see this
brought about. But they dare not run
counter to the decree of the White
House that the Tariff shall on no &C.
count be increased. Hands Off" IL
the order. Apparently nothing now
can change that ultimatum. 1t can,
however. be changed by the election of
. Protectionist Senate and House in
1913. and by the incoming of 2 sProtec.

Edward w. Nelson, chief Of the u. s.
Biological Survey, contributes q re-
markable article in the last issue of the
National Geographic Magazine on 1.-The
Rat Pest" He estimates that the an
nual loss sustained in the country
through the destructive characteristics
of rats amounts to 5000, 600. 900. Den
mark estimates her loss at $4,000, 600;
Great Britain and Ireland, $73, 900, 600;
France $40, 100000. The writer states
that rats have from three to twelve
filters per year, each containing from
six to more than twenty young, the
average being about ten. The young
begin to breed less than three months
of age. The methods suggested to abete
or abolish the pest is the making of all
houses. stores and factories rat proof
and the destruction of the rodents by
both poison and trapping.
