PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR Ex-President Roosevelt has an- nounced that he would esteem it a genuine calamity if he were brought forward in 1912. The Colonel is cer- tainly right. It would indeed be a calamity to the Republican party, and more of a calamity to the Colonel per- sonally when he discovered just the strength of his alleged popularity. Our readers must forgive us if they fail to find in our columns the roasts upon the idle rich which now seem to be going the rounds of the country press. We are too busy trying to make and save enough to become one of the above mentioned class ourselves to take the time to think up mean things to say about them. aes Triumphs of the Democrats in a New Era of Lawmaking The triumphs of Democracy are told in the important work of the Sixty-Second Congress, made possible only by the united support of the Democrats and the aid of a handful of Republican insurgents, says the Re- public.

While the whole hearing wasa suc- cession of revelations that left the committees and spectators thunder- struck, the most astonishing testimony came when Dr. Wiley told of his ef- forts to prevent the use of alum and sulphur dioxide in food products. “Alum, used in foods,’’ said Dr. Wiley, “‘especially in baking powder, |is responsible for the large amount of constipation that is prevalent through- out the country.

F, M. Kerby, stenographer for the late Secretary of the Interior Bal- , linger, exploded the whole Ballinger defense by bringing to light the, |“Lawler memorandum.”” Kerby, _ wrote this memorandum, and knew, | therefore, that President Taft’s letter 'exonerating Ballinger was antedated and a clear frame up to clear the Sec- |retary. And because he revealed in-| formation which came to him in his} | confidential capacity as stenographer | Ballinger called him ‘‘unworthy”’ and | discharged him. | | Now contrast this with the case of, Miss Carrie H. Davis, stenographer to | Dr. L. F. Kebler, of the bureau of! chemistry. In his campaign to oust iDr. Wiley, Solicitor McCabe locked | | Miss Davis in a room, and “sweated” | her for three hours because she re-| fused to divulge confidential informa- | tion which McCabe thought he could use against Wiley. ~ Kerby broke a confidence because | ‘he placed truth above loyalty, and! was discharged. Miss Davis refused! ito break a confidence, and for that; she was cruelly chastised by a subor- | dinate in an administration, the high | \officials of which frequently prate | about ethics. | i A Four-Ply Monopoly. | | One of the first facts developed by i mittee was that the inner ring of steel | trust directors actually dominated the | boards of directors of nearly every important railroad in the country. ; Then it came to light that the same | ruling spirits of the steel trust also co- operated with and practically domi- nated Standard Oil. And now. it’ de-| velops that four of the six directors of the harvester trust are also direct- ors of the steel trust. In other words, the steel trust, the railroads, Standard Oil and the harvester trust, (all star contributors to Republican campaign funds) are dominated by the same handful of men. And these, in turn, lette with a chance to win!” Thiscry since La crats in an honest endeavor to revise the tariff downward from the Aldrich- Payne rates. The indications are that if Mr. Taft obtains a renomination the Roosevelt and La Follette hosts will hardly raise their fingers, much less their voices, to help him. Democratic Prospects Bright. “Prospects for the election of 2 Democratic president have never been brighter,’ declares Hon. James T. Lloyd of Missouri, chairman of the National Democratic Congressional committee, who was in charge of the campaign which resulted in the pres- ent heavy Democratic majority in the House. “The Democratic party is. popular from one end of the country to the other because the present House has carried out pre-election promises, and made a creditable showing in every way,’’ continued Mr. Lloyd. “The many investigations conducted by Democratic committees have shown to the satisfaction of every in- telligent man in the country that the Republicans are guilty of mal-admin- istration, and should be relieved of power.”’ Kansas Fields Crack Open. Topeka, Kans., Aug. 20.—Is Kan- sas long-extinct volcano preparing to | rekindle its fires and cast its fury of smoke and lava over Harper county, where, according to geologists, it once spluttered and fumed? This is the question that is worry- ing residents of the southern part of |Kansas. Cracks two feet wide and | of an unknown depth have opened in the earth to the north and east of the old volcano on the farms of J. >i. Jordan and Edward White. The cracks that run for long dis- tances across the fields appear with a loud rumbling noise similar to thun- der. No one has seen the actual cracking, but many have seen dust that arises and have heard the noises accompanying the cracking of the |the Stanley steel investigating com-/|.a/4h Navajo Blanket Trade Urged. Washington, D. C., Aug. 17.—With a view of stimulating trade in Navajo blankets, the Indian office is seeking information on this important industry of the Navajo Indians of Arizona and New Mexico. Letters have been addressed to traders in those Territories as well as the Indian superintendents asking data on the number of blankets sold, the number of Indians engaged in the work, whether the weaving is done chiefly by the men or women and the blankets. The Republican insurgents recommended that ve discontinue the | Follette co-operated with the Demo-| guide in the selection of the breed.
