ROYAL BAKING powpER co... NEw YORK

j. Pierpont Morgan is to receive $780,
000,o00 for organizing the great steel
trust. If the millions were to come from
the owners it would be nobody's busi-

come from the people it is everybody's
business. The whole lot should be
hanged by mob law if the administra'

THANKFUL FOR PASSES.

members Of the Legislature can come

This giving Of special thanks to the
Lord for free pasees on the railroad
seems little queer. The stock holders
in the railroads on which the Bugeater
legislators take their free rides must be
in much less thankful a frame of mind.

a tendency this way except among a
very few of human kind, Because man
is a president, a king, an administrator,
a customs officer or a policeman he is
not necessarily a rogue and black
guard though to read what is said of
them one might be apt to think So
Neither, it may be certainly said, is
every church goer, or attendant at
chapel, or Clergyman or a parson or
a minister a hyprocrite and yet there
is a certain stratum of humanity that
will claim so.
1t is better to go through the world
thinking that people are honest, know
ing that they are kindly and charitable
and gathering the best ideas of all that
come and go, than to regard all as ras-
Gals, thieves and would be cut threats.
There are enough of these and to spare,
but the bulk of the world, in spite of
many faults and failings is honest and
true. And even when we come to the
question of the undesirable classes
above referred to, it will be found that
in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
there is some tender spot of goodness
which can be touched, some attribute
of the immortal essence which has not
been clouded over by the smoke of per-
sonal, political or religious rancor.
Mankind is not so bad, but it's customs
make it vituperatlve, and it's bark is
really worse than it's bite.
In spite however of this kindly view
of mankind in general, there are cases
where it may seem that there is no
regeneration for the evil doer. In such
cases even, vituperation is useless, and
the unfortunate must be judged by a
higher mower. Vituperation is folly.

SPEAK OUT.

The Senate and House have been
busy and a number of measures have
been brought forward. The vital meas
ures of the session, however. are still
in the background. This is a pity be-
cause the public ought to know the
scope of these measures. They may be
excellent. They may draw to them the
unanimous approval of the community.
Seeing the ability and care which the
gentlemen have devoted to their draw
ing up, there can be no doubt that
they will command the support not
only of the party that proposes to bring
them in, but of others belonging to
other parties. A good measure needs
little but an able setting forth.
What the general public is at a loss
to understand is why these reforming
measures are not brought forward. 1t
has been generally understood that
they have been thought out, and most
carefully prepared. In general prepar-
alton there should, one can grant, be
no unnecessary publicity. 1t is apt to
distract thought. 1t is an old adage
that children and fools should not be
shown unfinished work. But though it
may be granted that a large portion
of the world is made up of the two
classes above drawn attention to, there
are still some who have some brain
power, and the finished work should
be shown as soon as convenient and
proper
1t certainly seems that after a ses-
sion lasting over fourteen days there
should be ample time to have intro
duced the bills which are vital to the
comfort and prosperity of those who
live here and are voters, and who have
helped to advance the progress of the
country in prosperity, in the civilized
arts, and in ways which are upward
and onward. The mechanic, the labor
ing man, the professional man alike
should have time to consider what the
change in Legislation may be. They
all want to know about their taxes,
they want to know about their politi-
cal rights under county and municipal
government, they want to know about
the franchise, they want to know about
the liquor law, they want to know a
countless number of details, and they
want to discuss them in their rooms,
on the street, in their offices, on their
farms, on their ranches. Men want to
know what the Legislation that is to
affect them is going to be. Star cham
Der legislation from whatever direction
it may come is not only unsatisfactory
but intolerable.

The Pain Tramway administration
showed very thoroughly what it is last
Friday when it bulldozed the friends
of the Blue Ribbon soldiers at camp
Mckinley. And this is the company
which desires a franchise for fifty
years. Fortunately Congress has some
thing to say on this subject, and Con-
gress will not desire to tie up any Ter
ritory for such a period. Uncle Sans
soldiers have a pull, and they are not
likely to pull for Pain. In time the
true relations of people to the United
States will be understood in the Terri
tory. Sometimes the disloyal lot get

1t is a curious condition of affairs
which puts Governor Dole as an an
tagonist to the small landholder. If
there &c man in the country who has
devoted thought to supplying the ma
tive Hawaiian with a homestead lot
which should be inalienable, it is Gov
ernor Dole. Now he is charged with
striving to keep the Hawaiian from ac-
quiring land. OF course, Governor Dole
is only reaping the usual reward of any
agricultural reformer. The very people
such a man tries to help, are the people
who turn against him. OF course one
cannot expect that immutable laws will
change, and the ingratitude of two to
three thousand years ago is only being
once more exempllfed.

We always have our little run of burg

we may expect more as we become a

less and wandering men before it, than
ever it had before in it's history. Some
of these are ripe rascals.

FEDERAL AID TO AGRICULTURE.

Altho the Department of Agricul-
ture is scarcely out of swaddling
clothes, its aims and activities are
full grown, buOyant and progressive
as becomes the administrative rela-
ton of the State to the chief indust-
rial occupation of its people The
diversification of agriculture in the
United States, its predominance as a
source of wealth production and the
insatiate and inevitable demands of
producers for new and broader mar
kets have induced within recent wears
a commensurate activity in the bu-
reaus of the department. The appli-
cation of bureaucratic methods to the
principles and practice of scientific
farming has been vigorous, unstinted
and apparently successful.
During the past twelvemonth, ac-
cording TO official reports of the de-
partment, large number of the divi-
sions formerly engaged in expert re-
searches on allied subjects have been
consolidated into four new bureaus.
covering plant industry. forestry ag-
ricultural, chemistry and soils. Under
these principal heads may be grouped
nearly all of the subjects relating to
modern agriculture, and the tendency
to specialization, already so marked
in the researches of department ex-
perts, will be further encouraged by
the evident disposition of those in
authority to make of the department
practically vast school of modern
intensive farming, with such associa-
ted topics of instruction as forestry,
Horticulture, weather observation,
road building and irrigation. A new
department building is desired in
order to concentrate properly these
multitarious agencies of inquiry and
instruction, and it will not be Secre-
tary Wilson's fault if Congress shall
Withhold the funds necessary for the

The substantial expansion of this
latest administrative department of
the Federal Government has been
noted for some years past with serene
satisfaction by advocates of the arts
of peace as opposed to the destruc-
tivness of war. If the varied and
often conflicting interests of American
agriculturists can be reconciled and
promoted materially by administra-
tive agencies, it is urged, why should
such work not be done? And why

but even so We had several prognosti-
cations, although they amounted to
no more than mere guesses. With

those who give attention to politics
can foretell the result with reasonably
accuracy, but when conditions change

entitled to speak with authority were
dumb on the subject of figures. They
did not know what would happen
under the prevailing order of things
and they were frank enough to ack-
nowledge this fact But now that it
is oyer more than one man has been
found who boldly asserts that he ac-
curately predicted the result. Such
claims amount to nothing, and are not

them. People who try to get credit

Committee tabulation was made of
the Republican ballots objected to by
Democratic counters and thrown out

ballots were wrongly marked it was
owing to the tricky manipulation of
the ballot by the Democrats with
exactly the end in view which re-

owe it not only to themselves but to
honest elections everywhere to ex-
