It This Treason f A letter written by former United States Senator William V. Allen has been siren publicity which would indi cate that the great leader of the pop ulist party of Its palmy days is In sharp disagreement with William J. Bryan, who Is trying to make a new populist party out of the. democracy Tho pith of the Allen statement is to bo found In tho concluding para graphs, which" are herewith repro duced: ' Wblla I have always yielded assent to the doclrlna of tha Initiative and refer endum, I have never regarded It as a panacea tor political evils. I readily recognise the benefit to bs derived from Us adoption and enforcement In municipalities, but In state and national affairs. It seems to ma. It will be so cumbersome and expen sive as to ba practically worthies. In faot tha expanse of It enforcement will be ao enormous, that by comparison the bur dens of the tariff will be as light as a feather. Besides it will rob our legislator of that independence of Judgment and character which must always, characterise competent and efficient of floors. The so-called recall Is entirely visionary and wholly Impracticable, and I know of no man whose Judgment Is worth following, or any political party that appeals to pub llo, approval, that Is In favor of It. In my Judgment a serious mistake was made by all political parties in adopting what Is called the "primary nominating system.' It is utterly destructive of that Individual .Interest that must always be taken In the affairs of the state and na tion to make the enactment of laws and their administration, effective. While it may ba true that a nominating convention is' attended by some evils. It Is likewise true that those evils are due to the In attention of the people. The people can, if they will, control any convention, and experience shows that they are more ne lectful of the so-called primary election than of the convention. If the people will not - Interest themselves In the affairs of the government to the extent of leaving their fields, offices and shops a sufficient length of time to discharge their political duties, evil consequences most follow as a result Bo that vice is not in the eon ventlon system, which has many commend able features, such as profitable Inter change of ideas among Its members, but In the failure of Individuals to devote proper attention to publlo affairs. The so-called Oregon plan of electing United States senators is a flat violation of the latter and spirit of the constitution of the United States, and is bound to re sult in evil consequences, the result of which cannot be foreseen. It was the Judgment of the constitutional convention . over which Washington pre sided that the federal features of our gov ernment constituted the foundation of the governmental struoture. These features comprise the present constitutional method of electing United States senators, the method of selecting the federal Judiciary. These are three Indispensable elements of stability, no one of which can be removed with safety to the political edifice. I feel deeply that we are entering upon a period of dangerous fads; of dangerous experimentation. That true security and safety are to be found In a speedy return and a rigid adherence to those primary principles of government that have guided us for more than a century and a quarter of national existence, I do not permit my self to doubt. Without commenting favorably or unfavorably upon ex-Senator Allen's views, we aubmit that they will beat careful reading and rereading. and not exploitation. Newspapers and magazines might help materially in this good work, too, If they would. It Is understood that the president has in structed his cabinet officers to ascer tain all they call as to what, it any, mis takes have been made by any of the government's representatives in the conduct of affairs In Alaska and the best means of correcting them. This ought to comfort those anxious guar dians of the national honor who have been sitting up nights waiting to see some pirate ship sail away from the Alaskan roast with the whole territory aboard, gold, coal, timber, power sites and all. Now that we have disposed of all the contiguous territory by molding It into states, the nation has more time to devote to working out Alaska's des tiny and, while Its statehood may be remote, It Is nonetheless essential that its physical development be taken up without delay even more assiduously and systematically than has yet been done and this is wliat, evidently, the president propose to do. Before the most intelligent develop nient of Alaska is possible the govern ment must have more accurate Infor mation as to what la to be developed. The secretary of the .interior himself reports to the president that with all the Immense fields of .coal land in that kingdom, the explored portion Is only 20 per cenT of the supposed area, which is said to cover 1,200 square miles. The need . of Immediate sur vey work, then, Is apparent and Messrs. Wlckereham and Nagle prob ably will make specifio reports and recommendations that will aid the president In ordering this work done.

The rule against tooting your own born is hereby abrogated and expur gated while the Ad club men are In our midst It Is gratifying that at least two of Ihe warring democrats of the state, Mr. Bryan and Mr. Metcalfe, have got .together, anyway. Our people are admonished to cut .down the weeds; also to cut down the weeds that are trying to sprout In the political garden patch.

Just, because we have the direct prl mary still affords no good reason why a candidate for office should regard the newspaper as a free horse to be ridden even without the asking. Mr. Bryan has always said be would not take sides between friends seeking office in his home state. His open es pousal of the Metcalfe cause must mean that he does not consider the , others bis friends. Mr, Bryan complains of the World Herald's unfairness, and the World Herald reports that It Is pursuing the same course It has always pursued, including the time while Mr. Bryan ' editor. That proves the caae. The city council is entitled to credit for responding to the public demand for relief from the tax levy originally proposed In cutting off $100,000 on the sinking fund levy to be made up from receipts from the occupation tax and other sources of revenue. The school board, unfortunately, does not seenv to be so responsive to public sentiment and is calling for more money from taxes than last year, notwithstanding the fact that It Is also enjoying more revenue from licenses and other re sources than ever before. The school board has apparently gotten Into a chronic habit of unnecessarily padding its budget. It is up to the county board now to do its share and give property owners a reasonable tax rate In tho aggregate by lopping off all proposed increases that are unwar ranted. Filings are closed, and without re gard to party lines more candidates are In evidence without "Statement No. 1" than with it. The men who are looking for the votes are evidently convinced that the no-called Oregon plan is not what it ! cracked up to be. Exports and Imports! The United States' foreign com' merce shows an improved condition for the year closing June 30 over last year and a most encouraging tendency as to the relation of Imports to ex ports. The total business for the year came to $3,250,000,000, with imports! at $1,500,000,000 and exports $1,750,. 000,000, to use round numbers. To be exact there is an excess of exports over imports or just i87,ni,349. This, to be sure, is not as great an excess as has been shown in late yearn, but it represents such a large gain in that direction as to furnish all the en couragement which the government and private business require at this time. It indicates that, after exerting all the influence of the new tariff law, the government has succeeded in changing the eurrent of commerce and getting it started back once more in the desired direction. , Tho value of our imports Is larger than In any previous year, but at the same time our exports have exceeded those of any year except 1907 and 1908. and with, the tendency as It Is the gain in exports over Imports should be continuous from now on, other things being equal. The country had gone too strongly to imports because It had been drifting too much toward overconsumption and. prices were be ing advanced .too much In comparison with prices in Europe and as a natural consequence imports increased, while exports fell off. The reversal of con ditions, therefore, is the best proof that our commerce is put back on a sound basis and since this has been accomplished in the last year, during The mayor of Milwaukee has a sim pie scheme of enforcing city ordi nances requiring clean and sanitary street cars.

It requires a grit that many men do not possess, a spirit that is needed to round out sturdy manhood. Those Kansans seem to have appre ciated all this, too, for tbey received 'Uncle Joe" with as much apparent enthusiasm as If be had been their own peculiar champion, though Con gressman Murdock assures the public that their reception was accorded through mere courtesy and curiosity because the speaker is an intensely in terestlng person. But some people, doubtless, will be inclined to take the view that his Kansas neighbors were sincere in their treatment of "Uncle Joe;" that when they cheered his speeches they did so because they be lieved he was at . least . giving them what be himself believed in. As to the speaker's message to Kan sas, it is comprehended in his open ing speech at Winfield, where he dealt extensively with the new tariff and to the unprejudiced the fact that have occurred that Mr. Cannon at least made a strong showing for bis side. Although, against the continu ation of Mr. Cannon as speaker, we believe much good to the cause of the republican party will come from this frank and able discussion of a subject about which there has been too much deception and sophistry. new tariff law bas been in operation, much of the credit for this Improve ment must be glyen to that law. Un der tnis taw in eleven montns we have received in duties on Imports -$333,000,000, the largest revenue ever produced by a tariff, which ought to prove its power as a revenue pro ducer. The country bas not yet fully caught up with its invisible obligations abroad, but to show what rapid and persistent progress it Is making in this single line of cutting down Imports alone we may simply cite that by March of this year our imports bad reached the unprecedented figure of $162,999,400 for the month, while in April they were reduced to $134,000,- 000, May to $119,900,000 and in June were cut to $119,700,000. We are making consistent progress, therefore toward what economists regard as the ideal goal of foreign commerce and we would have even greater results to show now were- It not for the enormous importations that have been made In luxuries, such as wines and Jewelry These things should not, but do, count In the total in striking the balance between exports and imports. Developing Alaska. Alaska and its development is to be one of the big problems for the gov eminent in the next and a few succeed ing congresses, and it is already becom lng evident that President Taft pro poses to devote a great deal of per sonal study of the situation. He has begun upon his preparation by sending two members of his cabinet, Attorney Qeneral Wlckersham and Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel to that territory to make personal investiga tions of the problems confronting the government. The president had In tended going himself this summer, but was obliged to chance bis plans. So much bas been written and said about Alaska, Its resources and the policy of the government toward the situation that it will require much time to get down to the bedrock of facts and satisfy the public that the administration is bent on development What Makei the World Go Bound. All sorts of theories have been ad vanced as to the motive power behind the progress of civilisation. The preachers say it is religion that makes the human uplift.

Our Birthday Book Kinal action has utt yet been taken on the adoption of the equipment for the foot soldier, recommended by the special board which conducted Its Investigations and ex periments at Rock Island during the p"t year or more. The, comment of the cniers of bureaus, who are ctmcemed with certain feature of the equipment, are still before the special infantry committee of the gen eral staff. It Is expected the final report will be rendered during the coming week. n the meantime, the preliminary steps are being taken to furnish parts of the new equipment, aa far as may be, to some of the regular Infantry troops at the various encampments, with a view to further try ing out the articles and ascertaining. In a more extended way than has been poaslble heretofore, the necessity of any change, which are expected to be of minor char acter. A method of Instructing newly appointed post quartermaster sergeants of the army has been Inaugurated at the army quarter master depot at Philadelphia, The course of sixteen weeks' duration and the In struction is of a practical character. In cluding experience In various departments and lecture by experts, Tha work em braces instruction in the measurement of Individuals to determine the else of gar ments required, the method of substitu tion of slseS, the preparation of materials for cutting and tailoring, tha effect of ahrinkage and laundering on articles of ap parel, the Inspection of supplies, trade nomenclature, computation of cost of labor in the manufacture of various articles and the making out of requisitions, contracts, etc. The lecture Include the subject of fabrics, tableware, headgear, underwear munical Instruments, etc. It is proponed to extend the Instruction to Include the care of public animals and the economical op eration of heating and power plants. It Is appreciated that there must be a somewhat varied course for the reason that the men who are appointed post quartermaster ser geants do not come from the same souce and have no had the advantage of ldentl cal experience In service. The questlqn which has been long under discussion between the surgeon general and the commissary general of the army concerning the allowance of sick ration at military hospitals has been settled by the acting secretary of war. 'It was recom mended by the surgeon general that the sick ration be Increased from 30 cents to 0 cents. Formerly this ration amounted to cents, but It was decreased at different times to 40, 38 and 30 cents. It was pointed out by Surgeon General Torney that the 30-cen allowance was Insufficient, con sidering the Increase In the cost of food and the necessity for delicacies and "best portions" for those who are convalescing. The commissary generad took the position that the 30-cent ration was sufficient, In view of the fact that many of the patients were not able to Indulge In solid food. The War department has decided that the 40- cent ration shall be established at the gen eral hospitals only, which Includes the division hospital at Manila. The Increased ration will not apply to any of the post hospitals, although it has been considered by the medical officers that It is as much needed there as at the general hospitals, ine surgeon general also recommended that the ration of the female nurses be In creased to 60 cents,, owing to the fact that these nurses Tav4 a separate mess and are not in sufficient numbers at any place to permit much of a saving In the ration. The War department has allowed 40 cents in stead of the 60 cents recommended. The extension of the business of selling articles to enlised men of the army on the Installment plan have reached such pro portions that It Is . considered proper for military authorities to Interpose with reiru lations which shall place a limit upon this ciass or commercial transactions. It has been pointed out to the War Department that many enlisted men obligate themselves to a form of' Installment Indebtedness which Is sometimes impossible for them to dlsoharge. The articles that are purchased are frequently of the class of luxurle which the soldiers do not need and which have no service value. A report received from Captain Henry J. Hatch of the coast artillery corps has precipitated the Is sue. That officer has expressed the view that this installment traffic is proving del rlmental to the service. In which expression of opinion he is sustained by the post com mander, who ' adds that the rrethods oil some of the installment companies are positively mlschevlous and that a number of the concerns whioh have encouraged soldiers to go Into debt In this way have resorted to methods which are nothing short of malicious. Having regard to the rapidly Increasing number of transactions of this character, it Is believed by the W'a department that the time has come to adopt a policy In respect to sales to en listed men. The traffic is one from which the soldier derives no real benefit and the obligation Incurred, extending over con slderable periods of time, are not fully appreciated by those who voluntarily sub Ject themselves to their operation. Th War department will no longer concern It self with the business and all communica tions In respect to such sales and all ar rangements looking to such relations must be had with the commanders of the organ! satlon to which enlisted men belong. The department will decline to assist In secur ing the payment of the obligations inotirred without a previous knowledge and consent of the officer commanding the company or detachment to which the Installment debtor belongs. Where debts are contracted by enlisted men for reasons which are necessary In the performance of their en llstment contracts, such as post exchange clothiers, shoemakers, and so forth, the practice of the department will continue unchanged. It Is only where transactions are entered into on the installment plan that a change in the policy of the depart ment Is made. Pythias had returned, Just In the nick of time. "I win!"
