THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG
Edmund r. Dodge, writing to Ne

Edmund r. Dodge, writing to New
York paper, says:
Candidate Bryan never tires from ut
tering that the present dollar buys too
much" This is a novel view of the
dollar that makes people laugh. But
will Mr.. Bryan tell his audiences why
the dollar will not buy as much city land
as it bought in 1873 and during later
years, although he says it now buys
more farming land than it did in 1873
the gold standard being the prevalent
standard meanwhile-that is, since 1879?
II is rather puzzling to any one who has
not the distorted vision of Mr.. Bryan
to understand how city land could have
appreciated, as it has done, and how
farming land has deprecated since 1879
contemporaneously if the gold stand
ard operates according to his notion.
Why should it in the one case operate
one way and in the other an opposite way
at one and the same time? Does more
demand for city and less demand for
farming land or it's products make plain
what Mr.. Bryan tries to obscure?
The appreciation of land values in
cities, where every accession to the pop
ulation adds an unearned increment to
lot owners, is the only enhancement at
all comparable to the appreciation of
gold. For like reasons they have both
appreciated. The supply of both is
limited and monopolized by few. There
is a cure for both ills; but one can be
cured this fall in the breaking up the
gold combine by the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
But why should Mr.. Dodge laugh at
the suggestion that 1.-The present dollar
buys too much?" What did Major Nc

Santa Monica.

I see a mighty feast outspread,
Where gilded lords their honors wear;
The banquet king sits at their head;
The guests are drunk on vintage rare;
And far below on on eyer every side: s:,,,a,os
And murmuring like rising tide,
1 see a countless multitude.
AS rivers to the ocean roll
All tongues and races join the throng,
One purpose burning in each soul,
And on their lips a single song;
One common cause, one flag unfurled,
They kneel to neither kin nor clan:
Their country is the round. wide world
Their creed the brotherhood of man.
The feast goes on; the proud rejoice;
They hear a sound of distant waves;
They think 1t but the torrents voice
Complaining through the highland caves;
1t is no mountain stream. that leaps
Rebellious of it's rocky bands;
1t is the lifting of the deeps.
The sinking of the ancient lands.
Resistless as the pulse Of doom,
The ocean swings from shore to shore;
And frightened kings fit through the
Like Stars stars that fall to rise no more.
The pent-up floods their chains have
The toilers face the golden dawn:
The first are last, the last are first.
The Old goes down, the New ascends: =
It's sunny isles in glory rise
A rainbow o'er the deluge bends.
And Labor's curse dissolves and dies;
The gods of gold no more hold sway;
The people bow to truth alone.
And He whose voice the tides obey
Remains forever with His own.

Momentous in its unforeseen result,

Keenly observant of each others moves
One with the simple art and courage of
A rough -schooled honest hand; in purpose

Upon the dubious issue of the game.
The other, with the craft and ready trick

And whose self-confidence anticipates
An easy triumph DER a despised foe.
But the contempt-conceit Of power
For what it deems inferior and shallow,

Leads to o'er-reaching greed, and hnai

And therein lies hope! The poor mans

Who can endure the golden dragons gaze

people, by them vested m congress, and

tracts or otherwise.
On questions of policy or the best pos
siole relief from existing conditions, we
think and let think. We make no par
tisan plea. Our plea is for charity,
thoroughness, honesty and courage.
Neither partisan clamor nor abusive ep-
tibet, nor self-assumed and self-assers-
ed honesty, soundnesS or anything of
the kind should weigh feather with in
telligent and patriotic American citi-
zens. The partisan slogan sound mon
ey," honest dollars" is bald begging
OF the question and an offense to mil
lions of men as honest as the sun ever
shone on. The intensity of factional
and partisan spirit is truly revelation
of the magnitude of the issue and of the
must mediate impartially between
debtor and creditor. The terms and his
tory of the promise to pay must have
due recognition. If the creditor, after
the relation is established, acquires con-
troll of gold bullion he has no right to
ask that coinage be limited to gold II
the debtor acquires control of silver he
has no right to demand freer coinage of
silver than existed when his debt was
incurred. The law of immutable right
eousness, therefore, requires that the
government, under which the relatio of
debtor and creditor exists, shall "coln
money and regulate its value" Money
SO coined and regulated, whether gold or
silver or both, is sound" and "honesr
money" and neither debtor nor cred
itor can justly complain of law which
makes 1t legal tender for debts
So far as the administration of our
church extension work is concerned we
shall do our best, under the unavoida-
Die diiiiculties, and will give those in
debted to our loan fund the best possi-
BILE opportunity to meet their obliga-

THE VICTIMS OF GREED

There Is q deplorable monotony in the
reported causes of railroad accidents
and other kinds of calamities involving
loss of life. In a large percentage of
cases investigation discloses the fact
that the engineer or station agent. or
switchman, or train dispatcher, or other
railroad employe, was poorly paid and
overworked. The same is true concern
ing disasters on other lines of transpor-
tation. Incompetent men are employed
in responsible positions because they
can be had cheap Other men, who really
are competent, are required to be on
duty continuously for so long time
that their strength Of body and mind is
liable to fail at critical moment, result
ing in terrible accident which destroys
human life to an appalling extent.
There is limit to the powers of the
man who runs a locomotive. handles
levers and key boards in switch tower,
takes care of lighthouse, or steers
vessel. Whenever such a mans capacity
is taxed beyond q certain point his own
life, and the lives of many others which
are in his keeping, become endangered.
1t would be inexcusable for an employer
to subject an employe to such a strain
as to imperil his own person, even
though no other one was exposed to dan
ger. But when an individual or a COR
poration demands services from en-
ployes beyond their capacity to perform
without <slperiling the lives of numer-
Gus patrons of transportation line, the
conduct of that employer is heinous
crime for which no punishment can be
too severe.
The terrible holocaust at railroad
crossing near Atlantic City, N. j., a few
weeks ago, was a notable example of
what may result from the niggardly pol
icy of a corporation. The two men en-
ployed in the switch tower where two
trains dashed into each other and killed
scores of innocent passengers were COM
PEELED to be on duty twelve hours a,day
each, for which responsible and arduous
labor they were paid the pitiful sum of
$40 per month. Thus underpaid and over
worked those men became wearied, eX-
hausted, demoralized and careless. But
neither one could afford to relinquish
even such job as that, since there was
nothing else open to him. So they both
remained in the service till the crash
cdHle anu WHOleSdie SlduSuteI' ISSulteu
from inefficiency.
When the greed of employers becomes
so Unsuitable as to disregard moral obli-
cations and to hold human life as some
thing to be trifled with, it is the duty of
the government to give such wretches
a lesson that can never be forgotten.
Drastic remedies only will check the
ravages Of selfishness among corpora
tions and individuals without souls.
