The general consensus of press opinion is
that the Payne Cannon Burton scheme to
block Nicaragua Canal legislation by
claiming that to pass the Hepburn Morgan
bill in the House. while the Hay-Paunce-
fote Treaty is pending in the Senate. would
be insulting to the latter body. is entirely
too transparent to require demonstration
The INSTRUCTORS are perfectly aware that
the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty does not stand
the ghost of show of ratification. The
Administration has no idea that there are
enough Senators who are completely in
different to public sentiment to vote for a
measure which surrenders the Monroe Doc
trine and puts this country under British
suzerainty. All the Hay Pauncefote Treaty
is useful for is to block the Hepburn Nor
gan bill. 1t seems to be accomplishing
that with much ease.

TO Destroy Pest.-The Hon. Albert
Burleson of Texas has introduced in the
House Oh. Il. 90SD a measure that has
served the double commendable purpose
of completely confusing his enemies at
home and of exciting a new and becoming
interest in science on the part Of his EEL
low-statesmen. TIE title of Mr.. Burie-
sons bill sets forth the following purpose
ITO promote the interests of the agri-
culturist by an appropriation made to as
certain the quickest and cheapest method
of destroying Andropogon halepensiS and
for other purposes" The bill carries the
modest sum OF twenty thousand dollars,
which Mr.. -Burleson declares is ample to
check the ravages Of the Andropogon hale
pensis. Uncle Joe Cannon, the watchdog
of the Treasury, says the money shall tie
appropriated for the common welfare. and
that though the Andropogon halepensts has
not yet reached his district in Illinois.
there is no telling when the monster will
eat his way from Texas and invade the
rich fields and lowing herds OF the Prairie
State. Mr.. Cannon says there is no Ioli-
tics in the measure, as its purpose rises
above all partisanship. Mr.. BurlesOn ia
Inmates that there is a good deal of pc i
tics in the bill TO himself. though he would
have introduced it even if every voter in
Texas was the loyal friend instead of the
implacable enemy OF the Andropogon ha e.
pensis That the bill will pass the House
and become a law OF the land there car be
no doubt at all for every member takes the
same broad view of it as that expressed by
Uncle Joe Cannon. The history of free
government shows that wise craftsmanship
consists in the enactment of legislation
that averts great dangers in preference
to waiting for them TO appear and then
graphing with them. 1t is this principle
which assures the passage of Mr.. Burle
sons bill and also guarantees for him a
long term of service in Congress.

The Kansas City CompIaints.-It an


pears that the reports concerning the al
legged inadequate transportation facilities
and the hotel overcharges at Kansas City
are having some effect at Washington. Va
rious newspaper correspondents who have
attt npted to engage quarters at Kansas
Gig for the Democratic National Conven-
ton express surprise. mingled with indig
nation, at the rates quoted. 1t seems that
the hotel managers have adopted the rule
which has been adopted in other conyen-
tion cities of charging full rates for the
complete sleeping capacity of each room.
That is to say. in each room there are to
be placed extra beds or cots for the ac-
commodation of four to six guests. If the
normal rate is s. a day the room with
sleeping accommodations for six will cost
$50 a day regardless of the number of
guests who occupy it. Representative II.
ID. Clayton of Alabama, a member of the
Democratic National Committee is consd-
erably disturbed by the complaints. Il am
a member of the b-committee of arrange
ments," said Mr.. Clayton to Times rep
resentative, and shall be in Kansas City

are expressing doubts of their ability to
properly handle the convention crowds OF
course, don't know how much truth there
is in any of these reports, but if they are
true | shall advocate the most radical rem
edies." Repre- sentative Cowherd, who lives
in Kansas City. and other Missourians in
sist that no eXtortiOn will be practiced by
the Kansas Cityans. They also declare
that the report of inadequate railroad IA
ciites is ridiculous. Kansas City, they
point out. is the second largest railroad
center on the continent, and there will be
not the least trouble in handling crowd
twice the size of the one that will be at
tracted by the convention. Some time ago
the railroad passenger agents. at a meet
ing in Chicago. declared that the oonyen-
ton date should be changed from July 4,
because on that day the railroads have all
the business they can attend to at Kan
sas City. But this expression doesn't ap-
pear to have taken into account the fact
that the convention crowds will have
ilocked to the city before the 4th and
that none of them will want to leave until
the evening of the 9Th or later Altogeth-
er the complaints against Kansas CITY
seem to be pretty much of a tempest in
a teapot.

The report of the Industrial Commission
on the subject of trusts, recently submit
ted to Congress, sets forth many advan-
tages which arise from combinations of
capital. But it does not fail TO point out
some of the dangers which Turk in the
growing tendency toward plutocracy, and
it has suggested certain safeguards by
which the interests of the people may be
protected.
One of the most distinct notes in the re-
port may be defined. in a word, as nublic-
ity. In view of the fact that one Of the
most fruitful sources of evil in the organi-
cation Of trusts is over capitalization by
which, in many cases the amount of stock
issued represents five times the value of
the property capitalized, the suggestion is
made that law should be enacted pro-
viding that any person who sends out a
prosp Jctus or soIicits subscriptions to
stock, in the organization Of trusts, with
out setting forth fully the purposes to
which the proceeds of such stock shall be
applied, shall be guilty of fraud and shall
be held legally responsible.
The remedy for this phase of the great
problem of aggregated wealth is worthy of
endorsement. The further provision that
all the details of the operation and earn
ings OF trusts shall he made public. will
also meet with approval. The great diff
Guilty is in the enforcement of such legis-
lation even when it is passed. The same
capacity which enables the sugar barons
and their allies TO defy not merely the
laws. but the very Constitution under
which those laws are enacted, will make
it an easy matter for them TO evade or
ignore the plain terms of statutes which
could not possibly be clearer than the
mandates of the organic law which they
have already treated with contempt.

that could defeat any five-men team in

tournament games prevents the best men
from standing higher IN the average list
A series OF match games between the
Marions and the leaders OF the Tenpin or
Marion County leagues would be an inter-
esting feature after the regular season
closes.
