The World. Ma king Motive

The following is an extract of Prof
Herrons Central Music hall address
Sunday, Feb. 8:
Many of our scientific problems will
not be solved; they will be swept of the
road by greater issues Before we have
passed upon the question Of public own
ership OF certain utilities, the utilities
will be obsolete. If we listen to the
academic caution of the economist, and
have as little sense OF truth or Of llumor
as the religious newspaper, We may be
travelling to other planets in air ships
before we have spiritual nerve to decide
whether the people shall own their pub
lie highways. A lot of the things that
we talk about reforming will be out Of
use before we are through with our
talking. While Louis XIV. was exhaust
ing himself in trying to decide incidental
matters, the people. decided such
weightier. matters for themselves and
the king was out of a job. l imagine
we shall have ceased to have any pos
sible use for our American constitution
long before the politicians have decided
whether we may touch SO sacred a cap
italistic thing; long hef6re our solemn
supreme court shall have decided
whether thescanstitution belongs to the
people, OF. is .mees instrument of gov
ernment, to be used or discussed at the
pleasure of our governors; and probably

spectre it also has become in the eyes
of the people.

morrow, and we ought not to IL we

Reformers have driven the old parties
to the wall in the discussion of princi-
pies. They have converted the nation
to Populism. The old party politicians
fought these principles with all their
powers Of ridicule and argument, most
ly the former. They tried to keep the
people from accepting them as true prin-
ciples of government. In this they sue
ceeded for awhile, but the everlasting
and unceasing work of reformers finally
won the great victory of converting the
nation. Then there was nothing left
for the politicians to do but to attack
the reform organization. This they did
with surprising success. But their VIC
tory is only temporary. Never were
there so many reformers, and never was
there SO little hope in the hearts of men
for good to come from the old parties.
The 100000 men who voted as Popu-
lists in 1894, since that time widely
scattered, are compelled to get together.
Probably 1900, 900 more who were Popu-
lists then in sentiment, or have since
become believers in Popnlist principles,
must also see the necessity of reformers
getting together. The minds OF re-
formers are at work on the subject Of
getting together. and a plan will be
evolved acceptable to most all, and
when once again together, the old party
politicians will be unable to scatter
them. The experience of reformers in
the last five years Is probably worth
more than it cost,

people do not pay any attention to pub

go to Washington Ito fill their purses,
and they fill them all right enough, and
the jaspers pay thesbills. If the Repub-

onto their game, all this would be RENE

who own railroads, do not tell them
these things, and Of course they do not

The PlutOcrat.
(Henry NJ. Edmiston.)

(Henry M. Edmiston)
He VOWS he loves the workingman,
More dearly than fine health,
And to insure him happiness,
Deprives him of all wealth;
For riches oft breed vices
And lead men far from well,
Amidst he fumes of sulphur
And the flames of burning hell.
He loves the workman's blindness.
And because he will not see
That il his wealth is stolen,
He must drudge in poverty
He loves to share the earnings
OF the needy and distressed,
And increase the hours of labor
OF the sickly and oppressed.
He admires the toiler's dullness
And his lack of common sense,
In submitting to be plundered
BY vile shams and base pretense.
He loves men as the shepherd
Loves the sheep within the fold,
To sell the fleece in springtime,
And the carcass when it's old.
He adores the patient toiler,
And compares him to the OK
That plods beneath the heavy yoke,
Amongst the roots and rocks
Yes, he loves his fellow creatures,
With love that is sublime;
And he loves the workman's dollar,
And he takes it ev'ry time.

ests.
Mr.. Bryan does not openly indorse
public ownership of railroads in the
above article. He gives it as a remedy
for an evil Is this not the same as an
Endorsement? II the people resent un-
just tariff in this way, government own
ership must be a good thing because it
will give relief from unjust charges
Mr.. Bryan must either hire an editor
or announce himself as socialist. In
the first issue he was a Democrat, be-
cause he was Democrat. In the sec
ond issue he favors municipal owner

suit is that direct legislation win give

has usurped. In the third issue he arr

In two issue Mr.. Bryan has progressed
out Of the Democratic party. We are
glad to see him coming over on the
Lords side. We shall now expect to see
him advocating public ownership Of nll

trusts. We havesafweys had faith in
Mr.. Bryan, and such evidence as he is

"Railroal Trusts"
fFrom NoniConformist.) J


Commoner No.. contains the follow
ing: :
President Fish,, of the Illinois Central
railroad, says:
Consolidation is coming. 1t has been
coming for years, and l don't thi:ak
anything will arise to stop it, 1t is the
result of natural conditions and of COM
petition.
Competition is recognized as good
thing theoretically, but there is nothing
so harmful to railroads and to shippers
as unrestrained ard unlimited compe-
tition.
1t is not a great stretch of the imaFl-
nation to see all the. railway lines of
the country amalgamated into groups,
according to geographical conditions,
and each group controlled by one finan-
cial interest.
Mr.. Fish says he favors the consolida-
tion on the ground that it would be an
excellent thing for the public and the
railroads. According to Mr. Fish, con
solidation is the only. way in which uni-
formity and stability in rates can be
secured" He says it has been proved
by the railway history of other coun-
tries that consolidation does bring sta
bility in rates. and Mr.. Fish does not
believe we will hate this condition until
consolidation is effected.
1t i. not difficn.t to see that the con-
solidation would be good thing for the
stockholders OF the railroad But Mr.
Fish would md Il difficult to convince
intelligent men thet it would be good
for the public TRe idea that the pubic
is to be benefited ,py the creation OF al
immense railroad trust, absolutely con-
! trolling the highways OF the nation, is
too absurd for discussion 1t may De
that consolidation is coming; it may yc
that nothing can stop it. 1t will not lie
a great surprise if all the railway lines
OF the country are amalgamated into
one great railroad trust. and nothing
will do more than this to give impetus
to the movement of government owner

The financiers who are giving encour-
agement to the railroad trust idea do
not realize the dangerous ground upon
which they stand. They see only the

BAREfACED ROBBERY
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL A TREASURY
LOOTING SCHEME.
Could Not BE Tolerated IL Dominant
Party Were Not Controlled BY
Trusts-Presents a Glaring Denial
That All Men Are Equal Before the
Law-An Outrage and a Scandal.

Senator Vests onslaught upon the
ship subsidy bill was in his best vein
Il was equal to the finest efforts of
his palmiest days, when he won in
forensic battle against political oppon-
ents and wore, without corrival the title
of Little Giant" says the Kansas City
Times. 1t demonstrates that Vest is
himself again, despite the long siege that
Ill health and hard work in the public
service have been laying to his once
vigorous constitution.
BY his invincible logic his scathing
power Of analysis, his matchless sarcasm
he demolished the flimsy arguments ad-
vanced by Hanna, Frye and other cham
plons Of this scheme for looting the
treasury to pay the Standard Oil COM
pany and other ship-owning corpora
tions double compound interest on the
sums they contributed to the Republi
can campaign fund.
With one stroke he laid bare the in
iquity, the shamelessness, the indefen-
sibility in principle of this treasury loot
ing scheme.
He showed how the American line,
owned principally by John D. Rookie
feler will get 100000 of the $780,
100000 that is proposed to be extorted
from the taxpayers by this piece OF
larcenous legislation; how the Pacifl
Mail Steamship company will get $780,
600 year for % years. With biting
sarcasm and cutting wit he exposed the
mendacity of the Republican senators
who are pretending that this measure
is for the building UP of our merchant
marine.
THE next poor, emaciated, starving
corporation, he said, that will re.
cieve a subsidy under this bill is the
with emaciation and hungry for tho
necessaries of life, It's shares of stock
being worth $500 EACH"
He revealed the emptiness Of the pre-
tense that this bill will give the countr,
auxiliary cruisers in time of war ant
pointed out that it's corporation benef1ci
aries are preparing to organize ship
ping trust as soon as the measure shall
become law, by which they will be abl,
to monopolize the carrying trade on thl
oceans and the great lakes.
No such bill as the Hanna-Payne bill
could be tolerated If 1t were not tina

the mon who constitute the trusts.
presents the most glaring denial tina
every man in this country is equal be
fore the law that has been exhibited
since the high priest OF protection" wa
elected to the first Office in th
land.
Bounties to ships are no more justi
fable than bounties to farmers and liv
stock raisers to help them along IL
periods of drought. Miners, stree
builders, railroad owners-in fact. an.
and every class of industry-have Al
much right to be subsidized to Induce
them to carry on their respective bust
nesses as have the men who build O
own ships.
Nevertheless, the Republicans will
pass this outrageous and scandalou'
piece Of legislation, which is bareface'
and criminal robbery Of the American
people for the enrichment of cormoran
trusts.

Prevention Better Than Cure.

The Chicago Record hopes that the
Christian people Of Chicago will not
lest until the last prostitute disappears
and the last criminal hole is closed.
The trouble with the Record Is that
it is just as unsophisticated as the COOL
ministers who are trying to suppress evil
instead of preventing it's development.
If the people would only understand
that the animal body that is filled with
the poison of disease Or the human be-
ing that is mentally fool. have little
chance of regeneration, they would di-
rect their attention to preventing such
things rather than to suppressing them.
1t is an easy thing to pull weeds in n
garden while they are small, but when
you allow them chance to grow and
spread, you have big job before you.
And it is just SO with human weeds.
AS in all things, so it is here. An ounce
OF prevention is better than pound of
cure.-National Advance.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-When the Sem
ate Committee on Military Affairs to-day
resumed it's hearing of the charges against
Lieutenant Colonel Heistand Major
Hawkes., the prosecuting witness, was
called to submit some evidence In rebuttal
which he desired to present.
Major Hawkes., in correcting his testi-
mony, had added a statement that Judge
Boyd was not to subscribe for hemp stock,
but was to receive 1T for the use of his
name. This called out several questions
said it understood that the names of
the other persons were not to appear on
the. stock books. To avoid this it was
agreed between himself and Heistand that
the $15O,0OO Of stock was to be carried in
Senator Cockren asked him why he had
not testified to this before, as 1t was a
very important matter. Major Hawkes.
said he had never said anything to any
of the persons about the case. Under
close questioning Major Hawkes. admitted
he had said to Judge Boyd that he was
not TO pay for the stock, or words to that
effect" He was asked what reply Judge
Boyd made, and said he answered that it

would have spared him if possible. He
