'Who cares?' he repeated as he ran

fine what he meant by the word milk
sop, but it was fair to presume that
he intended to describe one who was
careful of his personal appearance and
did not allow his dirty hands or I'M
combed hair to worry him. In fact,

Some moments are there in every life
When the spirit longs for rest;
When the heart is filled with a bleak de-
spair;
When the weight of trouble, remorse and
care
Seems really greater than we can bear,
And death We're a welcome guest.
But we crush it down and we go our way
To the duties that lie in wait
From day to day we renew the fight,
To resist the wrong and to seek the right.
To climb at last to the suncrowned
height
And to triumph DER time and fate.
And thus--for my heart goes out to them
My need of praise [ would give
To those who struggle life's path along,
The host of toll, who are patient, strong,
The unrewarded, unnumbered throng,
Who are brave enough to live.

HEROES AND HEROES.

We give unstinted praise to the man
Who is brave enough to die;
But the man who struggles unfinchingly
Against the currents of destiny
And bears the storm of adversely,
We pass unnoticed by.
We've plaudits and tears for him who
falls,
Borne down in the shock of strife;
But word of cheer we neglect to say
To him who plods on his dreary way
And fights in silence from day to day
The unseen battles of life.
There's courage, I grant, required to face
Grim death on the CORY field.
There's also courage required to meet
Life's gurden and sorrow; to brave defeat;
To strive with evil and not retreat
To suffer and not to yield.

ApHocATlNe RECIPROCITY.

Senator Beveridge of Indiana is an
earnest advocate of reciprocity as a
means of retaining and e%nlarging our
foreign commerce. He said In a re-
cent address that we must make those
common ems arrangements with our
neighbors among the nations by which
our surplus of American products may
be taken across the seas. This, he de-
clared, is the craftsmanship of common
n He said the miraculous growth
Of export trade is lessening, and, on
the other hand, our productiveness
wakes until Its magnitude today makes
little its proportions Of yesterday, which
then were wonderful.
1t is true that our total exports were
less last year than for the preceding
year and the falling of was in manu-.
featured products, while those of agri.
culture increased. Decline in exports
Of manufactures is still going on. We
are not holding the great gains in the
foreign trade made prior to last year.
Depression abroad in part explains this
and is doubtless the chief reason, but
1t Is by no means certain that with i'm.
proved conditions in Europe we should
recover what we have lost unless we
shall make trade arrangements that will
be mutually beneficial. At present
there seems to be no promise of this,
Nothing is heard in regard to the pend.
ing reciprocity treaties and probably
nothing will be done with them. Mean
while our productiveness grows and the
demand for markets for the surplus be-
comes more urgent. This condition can.
not much longer continue without bring,
ing a reaction and a decline of the
prosperity which the country has had
for the past five or six years. The
admonition of President Mckinley ap
pears to have been forgotten at Wash
ington; at any rate there is no apparent
disposition to heed 1t.

REVENUE FOR THE PHILIpprNrs

The senate bill providing revenue for
the Philippines is a better Measure than
the one passed by the house, which i'm
posed the full rates of the Dingley law.
The senate bill is a compromise be-
tween that of the house and the rec
ommendation made by the Philippine
commission of a reduction to so per cent.
1t makes the duties 70 per cent Of the
existing tariff on articles coming from
the archipelago into the United States,
while duties on articles going from this
country to the archipelago are to be
determined by the commission. A num-
Der of republican senator's were in favor
of a 90 per cent reduction, believing
that such a concession would be very
beneficial to Philippine trade and also
have a good political effect, but con-
sideration for u domestic interests
controlled the majority.
The prolonged discussion of the
measure, with a view to political effect
on the part of the democrats, was of
no great consequence. Not a single vote
was changed by 1t, nor has 1t exerted
any influence upon public opinion. AS
one senator remarked, the roll call might
have been ordered when the bill was
reported by the committee and the result
would have been precisely the same as
1t is. So far as the public is concerned
the democratic arguments against the
bill have reached only a very small pro
portion of it and there are many demo
Gratis who do not subscribe to those
arguments. Leading democratic papers,
particularly in the south, have dis
scented from them. There is no doubt
that a very large majority Of the Ameri,
can people recognize the necessity OF
remaining in the Philippines and of es.
tablishing peace and orderly government
there. They feel that this is an impera,
tive obligation and duty. which cannot
be honorably d~isregarded.
AS was said by a republican senator
in the course Of the debate, we are
charged with the duty of promoting
the commercial welfare and the pros
perity of the people OF the Philippine
islands so far as it can be done by the
enactment Of laws. Revenue must bt
provided for the support of the insulal
and municipal governments, for the
support of public schools, the improve
ment OF harbors, the construction Of
much needed highways and for otheI
needful and useful governmental pur
poses. In this way prosperity will b.

There is ample time yet before con-
gress in which to consider and enact
antitrust legislation. but public inter
est in the matter should be kept active
to the end that congress be not allowed
to forget or ignore it's duty. 1t is well
that it be occasionally reminded that
the people expect something will be
done for regulating and supervising the
Industrial combinations engaged in In
ter-state commerce and that failure to
thing for the party in power. 1t would
be found pretty difficult to explain to
the satisfaction Of the people an omis-
sion to provide such legislation, at least,
as President Roosevelt has suggested
and which is generally acknowledged to
be proper and essential.
The existing federal antitrust law
not being adequate there must be ad-
ditional legislation and it ought to be
enacted at the present session. What
the public desires is a law that will re-
quire corporations doing an interstate
business to give. at least once a year,
public information regarding their fnan-
cial condition. The people believe, with
the president, that in the interest OF the
public the government should have the
right to inspect and examine the work
ings Of the great corporations. They
believe that these organizations, which
depend upon statutory law for their
existence or privileges, should be sub
ject to proper governmental supervision
and full and accurate information as
to their operations should be made pub
Lie regularly at reasonable intervals.
There is little doubt as to the authority
Of congress to provide for this, and
there should be no hesitation in exercis-
ing the authority.

FRANCHISE LIMITATIONS

The order of the district court enjoin-
ing the council from passing the pending
underground wire ordinance draws the
line between what constitutes police reg
ulation as distinguished from the mod
ifcation Of a franchise. This particular
ordinance Is designed to enable the city
to order underground In a prescribed
area of the business district all the wires
carrying highly charged currents for
electric lighting purposes.
The objections entered to this proceed
ing by the petitioners in court were:
First that the privilege Of placing these
wires underground constitutes a fran
chise that can be granted only after rat
iication by the people at the polls; sec
ond, that 1t constitutes a modification of
the existing franchise Of the electric
lighting company in so far as It refers
to the transmission Of electricity for
| heat and power, which is subject to the
same charter limitations. In support of
the ordinance it was urged that Its re-
| quirements were purely within the po-
lice powers of the city regulating the
manner of extending wires through the
/ streets and insuring the safety of per-
sons and property from contact with
them.
Judge Keysor, in his opinion, 1t seems
to us, has struck the right line of cleav-
age. He holds that SO far as the ordi-
| nonna atpao 10 VraCnriha thu pnonnnp IN
which electric lighting wires shall be
placed, it Is a police regulation and fully
within the powers of the mayor and
council. So far, however, as it inter
prets the wording of the existing char
ter of the electric lighting company by
reading into it the right to use it's wires
for the distribution Of electricity for
heating and power purposes, 1t enlarges
the franchise and exceeds the powers of
the mayor and council rs defined by the
charter.
Construed In this way our charter pro-
visions relating to the granting of fran
chises fully cover the ground so far as
preventing indiscriminate grants by the
| city authorities is concerned. The strict
provisions setting up serious obstacles
to the acquisition Of new franchises are
unquestionably to the advantage Of cor
p%orations already enjoying franchises.
While they constitute an effectual bar to
hold-up schemes SO common in other
cities, yet at the same time they protect
the taxpayers from the reckless dissipa.
ton of valuable franchises by over-gen.
erous city councils. The charter con-
templates the eventual municipal owner

toward the promotion Of peace and con-
tentment among the Inhabitants.
It Is unquestionable that steady prog
ress Is being made toward complete
pacihcation and there is every reason
to believe that when ample revenue
shall have been provided for carrying
out a liberal policy of public improve
ments and extending education, peace
throughout the islands will come and
be maintained. The task which the
United States assumed has indeed been
costly, but with so much accomplished
no rational nan can desire that we now
abandon the task. The first require
ment is revenue for the islands and
when that has been supplied the next
step should be the establishment of an
insular government, republican in form,
as provided in a bill before the senate.
This would allow the Filipinos to enjoy
a very large Measure of representative
government and would tend greatly to
secure and maintain peace.

Mr.. Bryan has resolutely accepted Bour-
bonism as his portion. The man seems to have
made up his mind that be will never learn
and never forget. In his speech at the dinner
Of the Albert Williams Democratic club in
Ionia Thursday night the Peerless Leader
once more exalted the silver gods above all
the other gods. "If the silver question Is
dead, why be afraid Of a corpse2" he asked.
III there is enough life left In IL to scare
a gold bug there is enough life in II to be
saved"
The Bryanic method Of argument has be-
come as we'll dehned as the Socratic. In
the logic of Mr.. Bryan the truth Of an eco
nomic principle varies inversely with the
square Of the opposition. The more general
the opposition the more true the principle
Is Its political utility varies by the same
law. The more opposition there is to the
principle the more available It is Cor po-
litical purposes. The ideal platform, &C
cording to Mr.. Bryan's scheme Of things, is
one that nobody favors and everybody OPP
poses.
Mr.. Bryan's reasons for c~linging to the
corpse of silver would be as convincing II
applied to unlimited issues of greenbacks.
The gold bugs" would probably squirm
harder over greenbacks than over silver
and the harder they souirmed the more
righteous and the more timely the green
back cause ought to be, Or some Of the
plutocrats themselves might reverse Mr..
Brysn's train Of thought and use II TO carry
arguments for the administrators colonial
