Inc average man. SAYS Frederick L.
Adams, argucs like this: Il must

He must have sufficient capital to con
duct his business. He must make
profits IN order to pay Our wages.
The more profits he makes, the more
likely he is to pay me good wages.
Anything which threatens his interests
threatens me. Anything which en-
hanc"s his prosperity is likely 20 benefit
me. The Interests Of labor and capital
are identical. Ii it were not for the

not true? Don't We hear it every
campaign and don't the votes prove
it? 1t sums up the whole Republican
argument in Il nutshell and has as
sured the success of the party for so
long time. The socialists, single
takers, Populists, Silver Republicans
and Bryan Democrats occupy "com-

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING ?

FELLOW CITIZENS OF WASHINGTON:
How do you like this kind of medi-
cine? The national banks are now
asking the government to retire the
$346, 100000 in greenbacks left from
the cremating furnace and permit
them to deposit Government bonds
with the U. S. Treasurer; to continue
to draw down their interest Oh the
bonds; on the security of the bonds
to draw from the government national
bank notes to the full face value of
the bonds at cost to the bankers of
one-half of one per cent. interest per
annum, and in the meantime to be
exempt from taxation. Under the
present law they are borrowing money
from the government at the rate of
one per cent. per annum, are EXEMPT
from taxation and propose now to
draw to the full value of their security,
and reduce the rate of interest to one
half OF one per cent. per annum, for
money which they loan to you and I
at from to 10 per cent. per annum.
Did you ever hear of such cheek? It
would call the blush of shame to the
face OF Satan. They have had a
special privilege to gull the people for
the past thirty years and still are not
satisfied. 1t seems about time the
people were waking up to realization
of their condition. Ten years more of
the legislation we have had and the
banks and trusts will own the whole
country, and then "the people be
damned" a la Vanderbilt.
You ask, "What are YOU going to
do about it?" Well, if the people of
republican government are not COM
petent to regulate their own affairs
for the benefit of all, the sooner we
have a monarchy the better. Direct
legislation will enable them to do il.
When we get that we can regulate our
monetary system, our tax system and
all other systems pertaining to the
good of the people. We can then have
free coinage of silver and gold at the
ratio of l6 to l, or any other ratio,
and the issue of legal tender paper
money by the government in sufficient
quantities to maintain a stable cur
rency system. We can nationalize
our railroads, telegraph and telephone
lines, and all public utilities. Trusts
and combines are nothing but the
natural Outgrowth of the mechanical
age and we might as we'll combine on
q large scale as small one. Then let
the government control all public util-
tiles. Private individuals and corpor-
atoms have controlled 'em long
enough. Direct legislation will knock
out the lobbyists and scheming vii
lains who infest the halls OF Congress
and our legislatures and place the
law making power in the hands OF the

DURRANT's attorneys are vainly
searching for more technicalities to
prolong his miserable existence. Such
acts are a travesty on justice and a
disgrace to the legal profession. Rea-
sonable energy and diligence in sup
port of the interests of a client are his
due and highly commendable, but
when palpable technicalities are made
the means of defeating justice there
should be some limit prescribed for
the abuse. Judge Bahr says that Du.
prey has tempered with the records OF
his Office to open chance for further
delay, and he will probably be pun
ished for this act of a pettifogger.

LITTLE Oily characterizes as "ri-
diculous error" the substitution of the
word daughter" for SISTER" when
reference was made to survivor
of deceased, in a late obituary para
graph which appeared in the STAND
ARD. The inadvertency may be al
most objectionable under the circum-
stances, but it was by no means
" ridiculous" 1t is said that even
Homer sometimes mods" Gin Sleep, and
we hope his relapses may to some de-
gree modify popular expectation that
infallibility may always be expected in
the STANDARD, though its course has
evidently made that exaction seem to
be reasonable demand. Oily should
bear in mind that he who attacks an
other should be ordinarily well armed
for defense, and he should never place
a javelin in the hands of a foe before
testing the point of his own spear.
The only thing that appears "ridicu-
lous" about this very small matter
is the palpable error made by our con-
temporary in classifying an error,
which was plainly an inadvertence, as
amusing or funny, when connected
with subject of so much gravity.
SUICIDE OF Ex-SECRETARY HER
BERT's DAUGHTER.-Miss Leila Her.
bert, daughter of ex-Secretary OF the
Navy Herbert, jumped from the third
story window of the family residence
on New Hampshire Avenue, Washing
ton, Tuesday, during period of men,
tai alteration induced by an injury
while horseback riding in Virginia,
last September. Her fall from her
horse resulted in acute melancholia,
which differs from insanity by result
ing in profound depression unaccom-
panied by the decisions which disturb
the mind that is wholly upset. Miss
Herbert had made previous attempt
on her life by opening blood-vessel
in her arm, and on discovery of this
and while the nurse had stepped into
another room for relief, she sprang to
the window and precipitated herself
on the hard pavement below. Death
was, of course, instantaneous.
