would be a haven for worthless and
broken down politicians while we were

nation upon the subject does not deter
him a movement In opposing these two
companIes having the governments con-
tracts at any price which he can find
the slightest ground for saying will yield
them a profit. These are successful busl-
ness concerns and that IS enough for
simpsons purposes. In Simpsons view

a crime. and all successful men are TO

enterprise that 1t has and to bar the way

ability to take care of itself.
Simpsons case against the armor plate
men involves the notion that they have
formed pool TO rob the govern
ment and that the reason none OF them
will bid for armor at less than 500 ton
IS that they arc all pledged to each other
to keep the price up to that figure. Simp-
son wholly oyerlooks the lesson that pool
after pool has taught in the past lie"
years, that II the pool price for an article
is so high that there are unreasonable
profits in It. members Of the pool VIII
break out OF 1t to realize the profits that
a cut in prices gives. This natural fact
cuts no figure with Simpson. lie must

is lust as far in error in this notion as
he is in his ideas about the war scare.
The armor plate manufacturers had
about as much to do with the present
state of public opinion touching Japan
and Spain as they have had to do with
the state of knowledge respecting the

with Japan is the result Of the secret
treaty that has been negotiated for the
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands,

our differences with Spain arise from her

son himself. But knowledge has no place
