we'll qualified by experience and
knowledge of political conditions, as
we'll as genius for organization, to
complete this work as Senator Sim
mons. Now that he has finished he
great work committed to him, it is
fitting that he should be relieved of
the srduous duties and that another
true and tried Democrat should be
selected State Chairman.
In retiring from State Chairman
ship, with the plaudit well done
from every Democrat in the State, it
is but proper for this paper, which
has been i'll the thickest OF the fight
and enjoyed peculiar advantages OF
knowing the value OF the services
rendered by Senator Simmons, to
say that he has shown himself to
possessed all the elements called for in
the position he fills. He has a genius
for organization. That is a gift that
is Il weakness after one campaign it
its possessor does not hitch his kite
to a star. Mr. Simmons believes in
organization to further some princi-
pie or sentiment. He knows that
Organization is worthless unless the
breath OF a great purpose anlmates
it and calls it forth. He knows how
to plan, how to execute, how to mar
shall all his force for battle. He never
takes anything for granted. When

He not only can plan and execute,
but when necessary he can go before
the people and by clear and able
presentation of the issues win their
endorsement and stimulate them to
enthusiastic efforts. SO capable, SO
masterful, so successful has he shown
himself in the management OF the
State campaign that not a few have
suggested that he would make a
model National Chairman. There is
no doubt that if called to lead the

would show ability of Il high order,

Only
One Key
That Fits

We have found that nearly all the
general medicines that are popular
seek first to promote appetite and
help digestion, then to apply
needed elements which almost all
ailing people require.
Probably iron is the most inn
portant of these needed elements,
yet it is very hard to give iron so
it will do any good.
There are thousands of keys in
the world = only one or two un-
lock your door. So we know
of only one or two combinations
of iron that seem to do the work.
BY far the most generally useful
prescription we know of is Ninol.
We mention this by name, because
we know what it is made of, how
it is made, and how wonderfully
helpful it has been in numerous
cases in this very town.
Vnol contains the medicinal
qualities of cod liver oil, iron-that-
can-be-digested, and a little table
wine. 1t is pleasant to take, and
we have SO much faith in it that
we will sell a bottle to anyone
suffering from loss of appetite, a
rundown condition, tendency to
colds, or to weak women and pale
children, etc, and cheerfully give
you the money back if it does not
help you.

THE GIBSON FRANCHISE BILL.

Councilman Gibson's bill providing for the for.
fixture Of franchises and other rights obtained in the
future from the municipality by corporations or in.
dividuals through corrupt methods is based on a solid
foundation of morals and Of proper regard for the
community welfare.
Every franchise privilege or right thus acquired
represents a criminal transaction and is morally multi.
fled by that fact.
Unquestionably. If the truth were made plain that
the obtaining Of a franchise by the bribery Of Mu.
nicipal Assemblymen placed that property in con.
slant peril of forfeiture, there would be a decided dis
inclination toward corruption on the part of franchise
seekers.
In no more forcible manner could this truth be i'm.
pressed upon the mind than by the revocation Of fran.
chises proved to have been obtained by fraud.
The City Council should act on the Gibson bill
with a due regard for the general good. If it is pos
sible in this way to prevent corrupt Assemblymen
from compelling the use of Doodle in obtaining fran.
chise and other privileges from the municipality the
necessary action to that end should assuredly be
taken.

John II. Fontana of the Twenty-second Ward, the
newly elected Speaker Of the House of Delegates, has
an opportunity to change, in a degree. at least, the
public estimation Of the body over which he presides.
Even though the Board Of Election Commissioners
reported that he secured his seat without an honest
majority Of votes, he can redeem his own reputation
by a wise course In the Speakers chair.
As Speaker he will have the appointment of COM
mittees. Legislation will depend in a great measure
on the promptness with which these committees re-
port measures referred to them. If they choose they
can prevent the work Of improvement which has been
begun by the present administration.
he has promised to support the administration. If
he keeps that pledge there will be no need for public
Demonstrations like that held at the Jefferson Club a
few weeks ago; he will not let the private quarrels of
the members enter into municipal business; less will
be heard Of the Combine and more of individual ac-
ticn. =
It will not take long for the public to discover
what Mr.. Fontana intends to do. No words can ex-
plain POOR performance on his part. His legislative
record during the past year has been anything but
good. 1t is for him to show that he has turned over
a new leaf.

FOR CIVILIZATIONS SAKE.

President Roosevelt has given another opportunity
for rabid criticism to the partisan imperialistic or
gans by ordering that officers guilty Of torturing Fill
pinos must be court-martialed. 1t would not be in
consistent for some Of these newspapers to say that
the President has Joined the ranks of the "back-
frers" at home.
On the other hand, it must be apparent to all that
the President has taken the only sensible course. The
reports from Manila during the past few months have
contained stories Of tortures inflicted on Fiipinos
which, If accurately described, are a disgrace to
American civilization. A letter from a civil magis-
trate has pointed out the trouble resulting from the
foolish rigors Of soldiers who punish Unfortunately.
Whether these reports be true or untrue, it must
be apparent that the interests Of the United States de-
mand an Investigation. The President has instructed
General Chaffee to proceed against every soldier, no
matter what his rank, who has countenanced tortures.
1t is perhaps true that the Filipino is an untrust-
worthy creature. He will not improve as long as
troops adopt savage methods Of warfare. The fact
that conditions may encourage an abandonment of
civilized methods is no excuse for ~violators Of better
principles.
If the United States are ever to gain the confidence
of the Filipinos It must be by a contrast with Spanish
procedure. II American Generals and petty officers
think that the new propaganda is to be exemplifed
by cruelties and prosecutions it is time for the Presi-
dent to call a halt. Extremists may call his order
encouragement to the enemy" Fortunately, the
great mass of the American people think otherwise.

Hastings Bailey in May Smart Set.
A certain man of letters entertained at dinner a num-
Der of eminent contemporaries. Several of the courses had
been served before 1t became obvious that Professor
Smythe and Professor Browne, who were seated side By
side, were apparently oblivious of each others presence,
while assiduously devoting themselves to the viands be-
fore them.
Professor Smyfhe, being rather a sensitive man. pres
emily became cognizant of the attention he was inviting
on himself. Therefore, crushing his enmity for the time
being. he turned to his adversary, and. in a most en-
gaging manner, said:
Browne, my head rings; can you account for it?'
For a moment Professor Brownies brows contracted,
while courtesy and animosity contended. Then he smiled
indulg emily, as he replied:
Naturally. 1t is hollow"
The silence became oppressive. Finally 1t was broken
by Professor Smythe, who asked:
"And does your head never ring, my frfend?'
Never" came the response.
"Ah." refectively. $50 I thought 1t is crackedF'
And each philosopher applied himself, diligently, to the
course before him.

IS THE BEEF TRUST UNAssAILABLE?

10 LII bESr
United States Attorney General Knox's announce
ment TO Chairman Ray Of the House Committee on
Judiciary. that an investigation of charges against the
Beef Trust had failed to reveal the violation of any
Federal statute, places the consuming public in a
somewhat hopeless and helpless position.
The salient fact in evidence before the people is
that the price of meat has been advanced to a figure
which prevents many poor families from indulging in
its frequent use, thus cutting off a most important
part of their food supply. The only explanation Of
the advance in price, as far as the general public is
aware, lies in the fact Of control of the markets by the
big packers. In the absence Of competition, con-
sumers must pay the high price or go without meat.
This exhibition of the working Of monopoly fur
nishes 4 memorable objectlesson to every American
family. To those in comfortable circumstances the
teaching is not accompanied by hardship. To the
poorer classes, the great body of the people, it means
serious deprivation or, at the least, an increased cost
of living necessitating a piteous strain upon their re-
sources. Naturally, the desire for relief from such
conditions is intense and widespread. The truth is
felt that the conditions imposing these %sufferings up
on the people are artificial conditions. The ominous
character of the lesson now being taught is appreciat-
ed to the full.
Attorney General Knox's report to the House
Judiciary was based on the report made
to him by a United States District Attorney acting
under his instructions. 1t might be well for the At
torney General to institute a more searching inquiry
before %conceding the powerlessness Of the Federal
Government in this allimportant matter. The point
at issue is too vital to be disposed Of by a confession
Of impotency which leaves the taxed public utterly at
the mercy Of the food trusts. A more resolute ag-
gressiveness on the part Of MI. Knox would be q
gratifying development of the existing situation.

RECENT M


Percy Longmur in Engineering Magazine.
At present in far too many cases the gulf between
capital and labor is regarded by the units comprising the
latter half of the partnership as unbridgabIe-a sort Of
yawning chasm across which no connecting link can be
thrown. This attitude may or may not be due to the
capitalists themselves, but the fact remains that the ma
jority Of units comprising labor regard the units repre-
senting capital as natural enemies. In many cases when
the capitalist does make an advance it is regarded by the
recipients with suspicion. If not absolute distrust. 1t Is
the same with new methods OF organization or manage
ment which do not appeal directly to the mans under
standing. az. for instance. the premium system; they
are regarded with suspicion or as a means of taking undue
advantage. 1t has been shown that this attitude of oppo-
sition to capital or progress is not deliberately assumed.
but is rather the result of Gripping environment. With a
wider outlook on the workers part, this hostile attitude
will gradually receds and ever-ncreasing friendly relations
be established. Capital and labor must be in amicable
agreement. and upon the strength and cordiality Of this
partnership will our success in competitive industry de-
pend. That there should be foreign competition is only
consistent with the development Of other countries, but il
the two halves of our industrial partnership are In unison
and hearty cooperation. competition then becomes but an
incentive to fresh effort. This cooperation is not only
possible, but feasible.
