RULE OF THE PEOPLE.
Thai Hie Republican press is
complimentary In I Heir ex-chief
in found in Ihe following editor,
ial from Ihe Taeoina News; a
fair sample of Ihe kind IhitiKs
said nhoul "Ihe other fellow":
"When Mr. Roosevelt Hhonls,
•|e| Ihe people rule'—a phrase, hy
Ihe way, which he cahhaged out
of Ihe vast elocutionary,baggage
of William Jennings Hryan—II is
proper for Ihe thinking man to
recall Ihe days when the people
did not rule.
"Wo refer to ,lho days when
congress was ignored and the 'ex
ecutive order' superseded it, with
out regard to the existence of
law, and sometimes without re
spect to moral propriety, and in
many cases without resort to the
.formality of asking whether the
people agreed or not.
"It is not necqssary to say that
this stale of affairs reached its
climax under the administration
of Mr. Roosevelt—the most ex
travagant the country lias ever
known, no| only in money expend
ed, hut in the employment of un
constitutional methods and un
lawful means.
"Messrs. (iarflehl and Pinchol
were Mr Roosevelt's principal
aides in these methods. The fact
that they persisted in going be
yond the law without consulting
the people was the reason why
they were not continued in the
service of the nation under Mr.
Taft. And the fact, they were re
leased is the reason for their
present determination to defeat
Mr. Taft if possible, and probably
to attempt the organization of
another party in the event of their
demands for reinstatement are
not complied with."

Suffrage and Marriage
II tins remained for California
to discover lliul woman's suf
frage is one of the ambushed en
emies of matrimony. The bal
lot box has heretofore not been
suspected of any direct or indi
rect conspiracy against the nup
tial altar. Sacramento, how
ever, not only propounds the tho
orum that woman at the polls is
the antithesis of woman in tho
home,, but says there has been
a distinct foiling off in the mar
riage rate of the city since it»
feminine population gained suf
frage.
Cynics will inquire: "Is this an
argument for or against woman
suffrage?" A decade ago thero
was a hue and cry over the high
er education of woman, it being
alleged that the collego woman
declined to assumo tho matrimo
nial yoke. Yet the college girl
did not fade and wither away,
and the institution of marriage
did not palo visibly before tb'i
now peril. Perhaps Sacramento
is unduly worried over the der'ino
of her marriage rate. She will
have to prove her ease against
woman suffrage before it is ac
cepted as a serious argument
against the advanoing movement.
