However, the Public Alliance has put
in few strong words what millions OF
Americans have been thinking.
'Is :. p Morgan greater than the peo-

also asked if a great nation Is to be wor-

the state Of Pennsylvania. L.
Macaulay somewhere says that every
oppressive form of government hastense its
end by insensate folly and increase Of ar
rosance and oppression Of the people pre-
cisely at the moment that liberality might
save it.
"This is our business" the coal barons
have insolently declared, and we will not
arbitrate. The more pious among them
have said with Mr.. Baer that the ques-
tion must be settled by those men to
whom God "in his infinite wisdom has en-
trusted the property interests Of the coun-
try" This insolence and this asphemc "a

or the greed Of men that is responsible
for the present dispute.
It has also raised the question OF

Dor and capital. The nation, which sup
ports operators and operatives, which
makes mines valuable. refuses to con-

The present machinery Of government

DUTIES OF STATESMEN

It is conceded on all sides that congress
has ceased to be- a deliberative ,fbsodyt. seIf'
>our congressman have ceased to delib-
crate, to what do they turn their massive
intellects? Bernard S. Rodey, delegate
from New Mexico, upon returning to his
home in Albuquerque, made speech that
answers the question. That speech should
be studied by the numerous Minnesotans
who are Just now striving to go toscon-
gress. '.-@ -..-'., ~

Mr.. Rodey's petty duties differed some
what from those OF the average member
of congress, but It is the time, attention
and exhausting effort required by such
work as Mr. Rodey did that take the spirit
out Of SO many Of our congressman ana
make them mere solicitors for the people
of their districts. A man whose time Is
engrossed with 80 much petty matter can can
hardly be expected unless he is OF very
unusual abntty. to shine as an authority
on any great nat tionai question, or even to
know much about IT. Perhaps in this
appalling mass OF detail work may be
found, the e5eplanation of the rarity OF
towering leaders. in congress- nowadays.
The uniform necessity OF transactfng such
d vast amount Of exlausting work which
is OF no benefit to the general public or the
nation at large. reduces congressman to
the level OF poorly paid drudses and er-

The FIGHT FOR THE 18TH


Within a. couple Of weeks the political
campaign ought to be going into the
strenuous phase.
The National League Of Republican
Clubs which Will meet either at st: Louis
or Chicago sometime in September will be
a stimulus, and President Roosevelt Is
looked for in Chicago and he will deliver
one Of his eye openers. The state repub-
ucan campaign committees are bestirring
themselves, but,there Is room for far more
hustling than there is. II any republicans
believe that there is no great use for the
G. o. p. to take upon itself a very~strenu-
GUS hustle, on the ground that the demo-
Gratis are in bad shape, and are going to
be defeated in November, It will be we'll
sor them to revise such conviction and get
on their campaign fighting clothes just as
quickly as possible and shake off every
tendency merely to assume anything as
to the election Of a republican majority
in the fty-eighth house. No republican
who knows the history Of his party has

OF the n1aneuvers Of the opposition. the
party can be absolutely victorious this
autumn. --.s..., ,rsa5 80 ~. -
