and the people at large haven't enough
money to buy it. Perhaps the situa-
ton is unavoidable. but there is no oc-
casion for the insolence with which
the demands Of the public have been
treated. No one has the right TO divert
the waters Of a stream where the public
necessity is involved, and coal is al
most as necessary as water. Capital

instance to reach an amicable agree
ment: therefore there is discomfort

cuse for demanding that the Govern
ment should take over the control OF

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Spooner
rom the Portland oregonian.

From the Portland Oregonian.
No other man Of this generation has
occupied the place in the government of
the United States that Senator John
Colt Spooner holds today. AMI It ma
be doubted that any other man ever
held his unique position. He is in
political office. but it is not promin-
ence in politics that gives him his COM
manding influence, at least not in parti-
san politcs. He is a statesman in
every sense Of the term, and in no sense
is he merely a politician. Moreover,
is not ambitious, which gives TO a man
Of his attainments and position addi-
tlonal power and effectiveness, and it
Is, perhaps, the rarest quality OF men
who reach high rank In governmental
affairs His influence is probably great
er than that of any other officer of the
government because it reaches out in
so many directions. He is both a bril-
liant and a wise man. AS a Senator he
measures up TO the very highest stand
ard. He is a practical legislator of the
best type, great debater, an orator, a
diplomat, a man of wide and ready and
trustworthy information in the affairs
OF the world and 50 modest and unas-
suming that many times others get the
credit that is justly his due. This, of
itself. makes him friends and extends
his power.
Part OF Spooner's greatness is that
he does not pose. He probably knows
his strength, but he makes no spectacle
of it. What other statesman have we
had since thp dav of / lincoln who tryoo
so absolutely content with well-doing?
And what a profound lesson he is to
set before the self-centered politicians
of high and low degree-the little ac-
tors that crowd every stage of life and
seek recognition careless
it be earned or not!

a MERrrED REBUKE

In politics we have little in common
with l.. Irving Handy, who is seeking
the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress. but we must commend an utter
ance which he is credited with
having made at Democratic rally at
kits Hammock the other day.
While Mr.. Handy was speaking
someone interrupted him with the
statement that he and his friends were
controlled by the Pennsylvania rail-
road. Mr. Handy replied by showing
his mileage tickets over that road, and
by remarking that he owed the Penn
sylvania railroad nothing and that 1t
owed him nothing, and that he couldn't
be dragged into a discussion Of that
corporation. He further remarked that
a there were far more serious problems
to discuss than the Pennsylvania rail-
road. KS
Mr.. Handy refused 10 make an issue
OF something that isn't an issue, and
rebuked the tendency Of certain persons
who. when they have no other argu-
ment. shout: pennsylvania railroad!"
The main issue OF this campaign is
that Of every campaign-the election OF
clean. able men to Office. This being
done. 1t matters not whether they be
Regulars, Unions or Democrats, the re-
lations Of that corporation TO the peo-
pie will be fairly adjusted. We have
frequently elected men to the Legisla-
ture who were rabid in their denuncia-
ton Of the Pennsylvania railroad,
whose first act was to accept passes.
Their second act was to begin grating.
There are several ways Of doing this;
a bill may be drafted with provisions
TO harass the corporation without doing
the public any good. This may be with
drawn for consideration. Another
method is to oppose any proper meas
ure asked by the corporation until Il
has offered proper inducements. Thes'
CRAFTS have been worked by boh
Union Republicans and Democrats an'
by men whose only argument in seek
ing Office has been 'the Pennsylvania
railroad" What the voters need u
watch is the desire of venal men to ge
into Office in order TO get their hand
in the treasury of this corporation.
We suspect that if this railroad com
pany could select Legislature for II
self. It would choose intelligent an
honest men who would regard tn
public welfare as supreme and that
had rather do business with such me
than with a lot OF hypocritical CRATER
The welfare of the community and tha
Of this read are bound up together; th
interests Of one are the interests
the other. and the great need is fC
honest. intelligent legislators who sha
be able to equitably adjust these reli
tions.

New EnterprIses

From the New York Press.
What guarantee has a mar that the
money he invests in one of the hun
dreds of new enterprises put forth
from day to day will not be stolen?
should never invest one dollar in any
mine or other promotion unless some
responsible company, with millions of
surplus and a worldwide reputation
for probity, would insure a return of
the money There is a company which
guarantees titles to land. 1t is on the
highest plane of success. Before / buy
a house and lot obtain that company's
guarantee and feel safe. Why Ii,
then, organize a company TO issue
guarantee on mining and other prop
critics before we lose our hard-earned
money? This would put a sharp and
sudden end to wildcat schemes.

MIND is CAUsATIoN

says lHt AN1W 'AOih Rhhs
At the State fair In Concord N. H.
a representative OF Mrs. Mary Baker
G.. Eddy the prophecies of that town,
gave pair OF shoes to each poor child.
Doubtless this was a piece OF praise
worthy benevOlence but a woman OF
the gifts of Mother Eddy might do a
much greater and father reaching act
Of charity Why should people have
the bother and expense OF buying
shoes? Were IL not for sin, erroneous
notions, the barefoot might esteem
themselves shod and so have shoes at
command. Shoes are only a detail, but
they area mighty important one in the
accounts OF households full OF children
and feet. Christian Science would
make a noble beginning Of the conver-
eion of the world and place itself upon
solid footing, II Mrs. Eddy would
teach the art of shoeing children by
means Of faith.
The answer to this doubtless is that
Christian Science Is yet in its Infancy,
and that even its most jealous follow
ers are cropping in the dark; but the
Sun cannot deny that its accomplish
ment has been great We remember
that year or two since a Scientist re-
lated that a crowd OF those holding
the new faith were travelling to a con-
vention, and while on their journey the
train was wrecked. We we're told that
their car was the only one that escaped
serious damage. and that even their
baggage was without a scratch. Now
that is an example Of both the strength
and the weakness OF the new faith.
Faith kept them from injury, but more
of it would have saved the other pass
engers.
But we cannot halt there; the new
faith discovered by Mrs. Eddy leads us
on and on through a maze of possibili-
ties where only star dust is seen. Here
is the foundation stone OF the faith-if
we may use so solid a figure in discuss
ing ETHEREAL things; Mind alone Is
causation; matter never is" This being
true, Mrs Eddy didn't buy any shoes
for those children, because there are
no such things as shoes. She only int
agined that she parted with money,
which wasn't true. since money is ma
terial. and material things do not ex.
ist- And. therefore. the travelling scien-
fists referred TO, had no injury to their
baggage, because they hadn't any bag
gage. In fact, they were not even
travelling, since railroad trains are
material. and matter is a mere figment
of the imagination. Therefore, while
we believe in the new theory with all
our hearts. yet we demand consistency
on the part OF its disciples. A friend
who recently landed in a Washington
hotel. where there was a crowd OF
scientists. who were attending con-
venuon. declared that IL was a difficult
thing to get a scrap to eat, as the
ladies who held that mind alone il
causation." seemed to have abnormal
appetites This may be a base slander
but why should these ladies have eat
en- at ALL Mind alone being causation
they could have imagined a menu from
soup to coffee. and been satisfed-anC
it would have been economical, too. /
must not be inferred that we do no
believe in the new faith, heart an,
soul, but this is rather plea for con
sistency.

Of Captain Holcomb's friends, the Demo-

Fred Bach denies the rumors that he
has not resigned his Post Office Depart
ment position and has a leave Of absence
until some time in November. Mr.. Bach
emphatically declares that he is out.
1t is expected that at this afternoon's

presented TO dissolve the present COM
mittee and to name a new one. The pur-
pose Of this move is to get on the com

Jimmy Robertson responded? IL is un-
derstood that within ten minutes after he
had the message from Alice that he was
at his feet. Robertson claims not to be
a tool of AddiclSs but his action on We'd

his master speaks. William Michael also
responded quickly, but Walter Hayes did
not He is evidently not one Of the kind
to be ordered around by Alice.
A Republican who signs himself Con

asking how James B. Robertson can con-
sciously be n Sunday school superintend-
ent and at the same time belong to Ad-
dicks. The writer evidently believes the
combination doesn't mix very well and
that to belong to AddiclSs as Robertson
does, shows afiiliation with men and

ner.
Candidates for Office certainly did
stunts at the grange fair at Brandywine

for Office who was not there did not con-
suit his own interest.
Jack" Conahan Is authority for the

corder Of deeds nomination, but the many

ledge will make a good run, but cannot

William Michael Byrne claims to be-
able 20 get 10000 votes for Congress, re-
gardless of all opposition. He actually
believes he can win over Ball and Handy.
Mr. BYrne counts on 1900 Union Repub-
lican votes and the balance 5000, Is to-
come from Regular Republicans and
Democrats. He has made AddicSs believe
that he can get enough Democratic votes
from Handy or whoever is nominated on
the Democratic ticket TO win out.
IL is believed that it win be difficult for
Addicls to make the convention swallow
Byrne and they may take the matter out
OF the hands OF the gas man, Alice and
Layton and do some nominating on their
own account. Wonder how William
Michael would feel should he be turned
down and some one else nominated2 He
would be somewhat chagrined should the
convention name pr. Ball.
1t Is understood that John Il. Taylor
will be the Addiclzs candidate for repre-
sentative from New Castle hundred. The
mentioning OF James B. Fosters name is
merely bluff and It is believed that Tay-
lor win be out at the opportune time.
