Trust.Made Senators.

Henry L. Oxnard, president of the
beet sugar association, is a candidate
for United States senator from Cali
fOrnia, and some newspapers are re-
marking that it would be better to
send man to the senate to represent
California. rather than the small but
exceedingly greedy beet sugar com
bine. This suggestion seems fair on
its face. The United States constitu-
ton, which is supposed to follow the
flag as far as California. provides for
senators TO represent states, not spe-
cial private interests.
But that clause of the constitution
is one that long since became an
nulled in spirit The roll of the SEN
ate today carries the name of few
men. from the northwest, who do not
represent some great business inter
est rather than their state. which
leads the Cleveland Press to remark:
Then why this unjust discrimina-
ton against the beet sugar industry?
Is not its right to special representa-
tion as sacred as that of the beef
trust. the steel trust, the sugar trust,
the shipping trust, the railroad trust.
and the dozens of other trusts whose
attorneys and other representatives
are holding seats in the senate and
pretending to be statesmen?
''Why draw the line against the beet
sugar industry? Surely if it is will
ing TO pay the price of a senatorial
election. every precedent has given it
the privilege to do so. If people don't
like it. they ought to object to the
general custom, not to the one poor
little case.
''Thev ought to protest against the
fact that the senate has become a
great commercial club, representing
mere money and less patriotism than
anv other organized body on earth.
''Oxnard has little. perhaps, except
money. TO commend him for the SEN

The Postal Scandal.

The investigation of the postotfice
department has developed some more
rascality, but there are much more
serious scandals yet To be unearthed
involving officials of high degree. 1t
is hardly likely that the whole truth
will be known, for even if congress
sional investigation was ordered it
would be in the hands of the republi-
cans who are interested in suppress
ing the facts that could be uncovered.
The railway mail service offers Il fine
field for exploration, and if some of
the reports are true that are openly
talked of in Washington. the worst
scandal by far has not yet been de
veloped a republican administration
long continued in power is bound to
become corrupt when the control of
vast sums is given into the hands of
the spoilsmen.
The star route frauds would never
have been unearthed if a democratic
congress had not been elected, and
the whole truth about present condi-
tons will be concealed until the vot-
ers conclude to give the democrats
the opportunity of clearing the
Augean stables. Fraud and corrup-
ton is rarely uncovered by the poll
teal friends of those guilty of the
crimes, and the only hope of the coun-
try is periodical change of admin
istratiOn to unearth and expose the
sins of commission and omission of
their opponents.
The evident intention of Postmas-
ter General Payne to belittle and
throw obstacles i'm the way of IL full
investigation has been overcome by
the honest efforts of Mr.. Bristow. but
political necessity will have great
weight in helping to suppress the real
facts about the greater culprits
There are so many congressman and
senators who are directly or Indirect
~ involved that great pressure will
be brought to bear on the most hon
est officials to let up for THE good
of the party"
