to come the certificates of these organi-

AN EFFECTUAL STOP.

The following was told by Lord De
Ros: In the early part OF the century,
Vauxhall was the resort of many re-
spectacle persons, especially OF those
who came up from the country to see
London sights. During one season it
was infested by band OF roughs, who
made it their occupation to insult and
molest the most quiet. decent people, es-
pecialy any whom they guessed to be
country visitors. They became such
nuisance that several men about town,
among whom were Lord Alvanley and
Keppel Craven, laid the following plot
to get rid of them.
They hired Mandoza, the famous
Dean, with shovel hat and apron. An
other prize-fghter, a short man, was
dressed as middle aged woman, and
passed as the Deans wife. and one even
ing they were seated at Vauxlall in a
conspicuous position to watch the fire.
works.
It was not long before the old FASH
ioned, countrifed pair attracted the at
tention OF the gang, who assailed them
with every kind OF coarse railcry and
insult, all OF which they bore meekly.
At length one OF the prosecutors,
growing bolder by impunity. stepped up
to the Dean and squirted an orange into
his eye.
On this the Dean, rising, said in a
meek, quiet tone: Really, gentlemen,
have borne great deal, but I must put
a stop to- this" With that his hat wens
one way and his coat another, and. fol-
lowed by his wife, he sprang into the
middle Of the party. hitting out in all
directions. Filled with astonishment
and terror, some fed. and some tried to
show fight, but the handling they got
from the prize-hghters was too severe
for the fracas to last long.
All the time Lord Alvanley and his
friends, who we're at one side. were call
ing out in delight: Go it, Mr.. Dean!
Give it 'em, Mrs. DEAN An effectual
stop was thus put to the annoyance.

apparently accepted or tolerated is much
greater than in any former year The
amount of authorized capital in such in
stitutions is simply stupendous, and l
think that close investigation would
show that large portion of this capital
is entirely fictitious
And then we come to the essence of the
appeal:
The people, regardless of party. are
becoming highly incensed over these
matters, and in place of extending pools
through acts of congress legalizing such
such conditions | am sure that the gen
eral sentiment OF the public, high and
low is decidedly against such policy"

This country has had enough anti
railroad and anti-monpoly discussions,
some OF which were without reason, and
most OF which had some reason. Now,
when the railroads OF the country are
rendering better service than ever before
at lower rates, and the people are be-
rates, it seems to me unwise and unjust
to reopen the railway question through
legislation that will be looked upon by
the public as hostile to their interests,
and in that way inflame public feeling
Here then is the essence OF the appeal
to railroad men working for a pooling
bill, working to form railroad pools:
Don't For to make one great pool,
one great trust will be but to pave the
way to government ownership.
Keep alive the fiction, for it is fiction,
that there is railroad competition that
keeps rates down to reasonable figures.
This fiction exploded, and the forming
OF great railroad pool would explode it.
and goodbye private ownership. For
men will say: ii there must be mono
poly let the government be the mono
polist-working not for the enrichment
of the few but for the promotion of the
interests OF all the people, all save the
interests OF robbers and despoilers OF
mankind.
But why then alarm Of railroad cliques
at the prospect of government owner
ship? Such ownership would not mean
despoilment-it would mean the squeez-
ing out of fictitious capital, would mean
the enforcement OF the demand that those
who now use the railroads to despoil
their fellow men should cease And those
who profit from such despoilment, pride
themselves in thus despoiling, do not
want to cease Therefore, they oppose
government ownership But it is the in
terest OF the public that they be made to
cease, that robbery big as little, should
be stopped, and the man who holds fic-
ttious capital issued to despoil the peo-
pie will have no right to complain be-
cause OF the recovery by the public of
such stolen property. True, he may be
an innocent holder but the law makes no
distinction. the men who makes pur-
chases of property without inquiring as
to whether it is stolen or not or closing
his eyes to evidences OF fraud invites
loss, we might add, deserves loss.

Structures of a Railroad President.

Philadelphia American: A letter written
in early February by President James J.
Hill of the Great Northern Railway and
antagonizing the pooling bill. has recent
" been brought to light Coming from
the president OF one of the great roads
OF the country, the letter is remarkable
for its structures upon his railroad breth-
rem. 1t sounds like a voice in the will
derness. And yet as we read it we can
not but feel that the letter is written not
so much as an argument against pooling,
against railroad monopoly, as a pleading
against the pursuit Of a policy by his
brother railroad managers that he feels
can but end in government ownership,
result in the destruction Of railroad mon
opoly as also all industrial monopolies
built on the abuses OF railroad monopoly.
In these words does Mr.. Hill put his
argument against pools, an argument to
appeal to the multitude:
"A pool is an interference with the
free, unrestrained, and natural conditions
of trade. 1t is made to allow division
of traffic, SO as to avoid reduction Of
rates. l do not understand how the pub
lie can suffer by reduction in rates of
transportion; neither can l see how the
legal authorization of pools will prevent
determinations in favor Of shippers or of
localities"
But following comes an argument ap-
pealing to railroad managers and the pro-
fters from the present railroad monopo-
ly-an argument that makes the letter ap-
pear double edged, one edge to fool the
public, one to be used to cut away the at
tacks on railroad monopoly. Don't push
the monopoly too far, too openly, too
boldly, or you will lose ALL Such is the
argument by which he appeals to railroad
managers, appeals to them to stop push
ing for a bill to legitimatize pooling, le-
galze railroad monopoly.

With Messrs. DAILY, Dart, McGovern
and Schaler either absent or not voting,
the above fusionists, comprising ma
jority Of their party number on the floor
of the upper house, yesterday voted
against even a partial compliance with
the view of their party as expressed in
their reform platform.
The Bush BILL to reduce fees to be
paid for oil inspection, was in from the
house and Senator Wilson moved to sus-
pend the rules just trife and allow the
bill place on general orders, which SIM
ply meant to give the bill chance for
consideration.
Mr. Wilson pointed out that if the
measure was compelled to take the regu-
lar order it was as good as killed, and
yet in the face OF all that, the anxious
reformers voted to defeat the motion.
Two of the no--voting fusionists were
in the senate chamber during the roll
call. The Wilson motion was lost, 80
yeas to Fl nays, two-thirds vote being
necessary to suspend the rules.-Minne-

1t is the earnest desire of every real
reiormer to see all reformers united.
There is no class of men who desire this
any stronger than do the straight popu-
lists. In 1906 practically all reformers
were united in the Peoples party They
were gotten together by the means OF a
good party organization that stood by its
principles and fought the two old parties
which had brought the country to its de-
plorable state. Reformers since that
time have become scattered, though there
are more of them now than then. The
way they were gotten together before is
the way to get them together again.
There is no other way Organize again

mitteemen. Govern the party by pre-
