Not merely the average em
ployee of the government, but
the highest. officials, are afraid to
give newspaper men information
as to what is going on. Em
ployees are being made to feel
that they owe no f idelity to the
public, but that they are mere
personal servants of the coterie
of men now in charge of the
government.
As a result of the discharge of
Pinchot, Glavis, Kerby and
others interior department em
ployees, the average government
worker today feels that it is
worth his position to discuss
even matters of public record
with a newspaper man.
The following official order
signed by George Otis Smith,
director of the United States
Geological survey, gives an idea
of the Prussian-like censorship
that has been established over
government information:

In 1 00, under Cleveland,
total annual appropriation for
the expenses of the national
government was S3 10,000,000, or
h0 for every man, woman and
child, In 1900 our expenses had
increased to .v;VO,000,003, or
for every man,' woman and
child. The last Congress appro
priated the colossal sum of 81,
044,401,857, or nearly 812 for
every man, woman and child.
This Congress threatens to spend
$17,000,000 in excess of last
year's appropriation.
Republicans appear reluctant
to concern themselves much
about government expenditures
in relation to the cost of living.
But one thing is certain.. Govern
ment does not pick up these
hundreds of millions of dollors
in the street. This money comes
out of sombody's pocket. Unlike
city and state governments, the
national government has but one
way of raising revenue to meet
expenses, and that is by taxing
things eaten, worn or used by
the people. Hence it is that in
creased cost of living is marching
hand-in-hand with increased
Republican extravagance.
"I am sorry," said Senator
Bristow of Kansas, while dis
cussing the railroad bill, "that
the senator from West Virginia
(Elkins) has deserted the cham
ber, and I am sorry the senator
from Rhode Island (Aldrich)is
not here, and that the senator
from Massachusetts (Lodge) has
also dissappeared. ' '
I A survey of the senate showed
that the railroad senators, after
having outlined the kind of legis
lation they had decidedjshould be
enacted, had fled from, the cham-
' ber without waiting to hear those
f j who disagreed from the railroad
. viewpoint.
breath."
; ''Jam. afraid the senator is
right," answered Bristow. Then
J He went on addressing the dem
ocrats and the empty seats of
the standpatters.
4 Lest we forget, only nine of
the 218 Republicans of the
national House of Representa
tives are in a position to stand
before their constituents and
report that they voted to unseat
Cannon as speaker. Page 3490 of
the Congressional Record shows
that on March 19 all but nine
Republicans voted against the
Burleson resolution which would
have unseated Speaker Cannon
and made it possible to elect a
new speaker. Every Democrat
voted to unseat ''Uncle Joe."
I A brief definition of "Cannon
ism" had been asked for.
Cannonism means that when the
interests of the Cannon people
and the interests of the steel
trust, the sugar trust, the lum
ber trust," the harvest trust and
the combination of New England
cotton manufacturers come into i
conflict, the latter get the legis- i
lation they want and the people
are forced to take that which
they do not want. The Payne
Aldrich law is a good illustration.
The people said; "We want
downward revision of the tariff
in oi'uer tnat the cost of living'
inoy be lessened." The corporate
interests said: 'We want up
ward revision in order that our
prouts may increase." The
people were disappointed, and
the campaign-contributing tariff
trusts were obejd. Tint is Can
nonism. Senator Robert M. LaFoliette
of "Wisconsin sometimes thinks
of the most u linear d of things. .
For instance, in the Senate the
other day in discussing President
Taft's railroad bill, he said:
"There is not one line in the
statute to give to the people reas
onable railroad rates. All that
has been accomplished is to af-
ford a means of giving equal'
rates to the shippers." Now who ,
except LaFoliette or some other ,
Democrat would think of that?

syndicate caus

eral judge, the prosecuting at
torney and the United States
marshal who will represent the
government in suits over the
Cunningham coal land claims,
(which Ballinger was so friendly
to) have been made before the
senate committee on judiciary. A
responsible party, Judge James
Wickersham, delegate to Con
gress from Alaska, made the
charge.
Small Boys and Matches Cause Cost

Lexington, June 1. For' the!
second time in less than a fort

cotton on the famous Holt farm
