OTTAWA CHAUTAUOUA.

The Ottawa Chautauqua Assembly has pre-
pared most excellent program for this year.
The regular program is fine, and several special
attractions are expected. Among these 'spec-
ials' may be mention Hon. Mark A. Hanna,
Hon. John Mitchell, Hon. Clarence Darrow,
Hon. w. R. Heast and Bishop Galloway. On
the regular program is Geo. R. McNutt. for
merly minister of the gospel who put aside
his priestly fobes, donned overalls and went to
work as day aborer in order to get near to
the man who earns his bread by the sweat of
his brow and thus learn of his needs, his
temptations, his hopes, bis fears, and his aspir-
ations, if any he has. Mr.. McNutt desired to
instil right principles into the hearts of these
men-miners, railroad employees, factory hands
and other aborers-and he wisely concluded
that the only practical way to do this was to
"mix" with them and be one of them. He
will speak at the Ottawa on the various phases
of the laborers' life on July 9th, 7th, Sth and
9th. 1t will pay you to ear him.
Hon. Samuel M. Jone., the "Golden Rule"
mayor of Toledo, Ohio, who has just been
elected the fourth time, will speak on "The
Golden Rule in Business" July nth. Every
body knows of him. Everybody ought to hear
him.
Other attractions are numerous and varied
All are good.

make an honest effort to that end and trv his
best.
While he sat upon the bench, the city prison
had the smallest population it had known in
many years, and still there was no increase in
crime.
Cases of family rows he used to heal with
lecture, and send all parties home. Working
men in distress found in him steady friend and
counselor. He helped them to find work and
relieved their distress.
1t appeared as matter of practice that this
was far better way and more conducive to
good order than the usual "$5 6ne'' to which
the police court attendants were familiar, 1t
tended to diminish the number of delinquents
and introduced hope into quarters where it was
much of stranger
But certain persons in Toledo took alarm at
the unusual proceedings and sent for the absent
judge to come home. So the mayors career as
justice was cut short. The same interests made
the Justice promise never to 90 away again 50
long Mr.. Jones might be mayor. But Mr. Jones was
not concerned He said that he had demonstrated that
there were better ways to induce to be good than
by clubbing goodness into them and the majority Of the
community thoroughly agreed with him.
is only fair to sey that there are many persons in
Toledo that do not like Mr. Jones. They regard him as
a very dangerous nnovator. His idea that it is cheap
to remove the cause Of crime than to punish seems
to them extremely revolutionary. His unconventional
interest in tramps and the unfortunate strikes them as
very bad and to be discouraged, This mayor seems
to have no pride in his position. He would as left talk
with talk with tramp with millonore and that
also seems to his opponents perilous sign.
But the people that feel this way are those whose
comforts complete, whose opportunities need no i'm
proving whose way Of life is bright and easy.
Strangely enough this eccentric person never seemed
to feel that he had much to do with this class His
mission has been to the other extreme of social condi
tons.
The public has not misunderstood him. The public
never msundestands any that has sincere purpose
to do good and be useful.

From Ilearsts Chicago American
Mr.. Samuel Nj Jo1es, the Golden Rule"
mayor of Toledo, has been reelected in spite
of the bitter war made upon him bv all the
corporation interests in the city.
In Toledo, the corporations are great power.
Their campaign this year against Mr. Jones
had peculiar features. For one thing, they got
all the newspapers of the city to ignore Mr..
Jones. They would not print his letter of ac-
any way to his campaign, so that the casual
observer in Toledo would not know that Mr..
tones was candidate.
This rovel and ingenius device did not work.
No device ever will work against man that
follows the Jones plan.
The corporations have tried money in other
anti. Jones campaigns. They found that was
no good. They tiled money and intimidation,
and neither was of the least avail against
Zones. They hired newspapers to revile him
and public speakers to refute him, and he has
gone calmly on increasing his plurality from
year TO year.
On the occasion when bribery and intimida-
ton were combined against this remarkable
man. the workingmen were told that if they
voted for Jones, they would lose their positions,
and Jones meetings were broken up by thugs.
Colo izaton and other arts of fraudulent eec-
ticn were resorted to.
Mr. Jones had seventy per cent of all the
votes cast.
This wear, they tried ignoring hin The
result was that he had a larger vote than all
the other candidates combined.
What is it that makes this man so strong
with the people that neither money nor threats
nor force nor fraud can overthrow him? What
is the secret of his wonderful success year
after year?
The simplest thing in the world, all you
foolish politicians; the simplest thing in the
world.
He really desires to do good in the world.
That is his first object. He is not in public life
10 crafty selfish ambition, but to be of use.
He believes in public ownership; he believes
that public utilities should be operated for the
public benefit, and not for private aggrand-
iz mert
He believes in the people, il the rule of the
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-04-17

people, in the supremacy of the people above
corporations, trusts and the power of wealth.
He has made kindness, good will and the
bettering of conditions the objects of his official
career. He is genuinely interested i'll his fei
low men He does not believe that certain
part of the human race was born into the world
doomed to intellectual darkness and hopeless
privaton. 1t does not occur TO him that we
live in, perfect world, where everything is
just as it should be, and it would be impous to
try to secure for the unfortunate chance to
rise.
That is the Jones secret.
He goes plodding along his somewhat lonely
way, and the wise men that believe in the
good old theory of the riders and the ridden
jeer at him and make excellent jests at his ex-
pense. But on election day, he, without
newspaper supporter, and fought by all the
corporations and wealthy classes of Toledo, is
triumphantly elected.
He has done good to Toledo. We think he
has done good wherever his policy has become
known.
In Toledo the mayor has magisterial powers
and may preside over the police court when
the regular justice is absent.
The regular justice took quite vacation last
year, and Mayor Jones sat as a magistrate,
with very unusua. and even startling results.
He stupehed those familiar with police court
methods by showing an active human interest
in the prisoners brought before him. Instead
of examining the policeman and then commit
ting the culprit, he began with the culprt and
found out lis history training and environ
ments and what led him into crime.
He discovered in this way that great
many prisoners were more 10 be pitied than
blamed These he talked to with great earn
estness, showing the supreme folly of departing
from the straight road of conduct. Then, if
there seemed to be worth in the prisoner he
released him, found him employment and started
him off with small sum of money.
He talked with drunkards about the idiocy
of strong dlink, appealing to their pride, slim
ulating their self-respect, often letting them 90
instead of sending TEEN to prison.
He used to hold forth steadily that there was
hope for any man to mend his life that would

RAILROAD MERGER BEATEN.

Last Friday. dispatch from St. Paul stated
that the United States circuit court of appeals
had that day, rendered decision against the
Northern Securities Company. This decision
created no little surprise among the railroad
men and politicians. 1t is claimed, with reason,
that if the Shermon antitrust law can defeat
the purposes of the railroad 'merger," it can
as effectively cripple or defeat other trusts.
The "merger" case will be appealed to
higher court.
But, as before stated, the decision has created
surprise among the politicians, and the friends
of the administration are anxious. TEev will
watch the outcome of the case i'll the higher
court. The Boston Advertiser, paper close
to the administration, says:
'It can be said positively that if the Sher
man antitrust act has been correctly interpret
ed by the St. Paul decision in the Northern
Securities Company case, the Sherman anti
trust act will be radically amended by the
present congress-
"This statement is made OH assurances from
senate that 1t is as authoritative as if it had
been already announced by the president.
messages have gone to such men as Senator
Spocner, of Wisconsin; Hanna, of Ohio; Alli-
son, of Iowa; Aldrich, of Rhode Island, and
Burrows, of Michigan, in the senate, and Dal-
zell, of Pennsylvania; Payne, of New York;
Hopkins, of Illinois; Grosvenor, of Ohio, and
Tawney, of Minnesota, in the house of repre-
sentatives.
"Perhaps the largest contributor to he cam
paign fund of 1890 in this state said, yeste1-
day, that if the decision stood unquestioned tor
year, the harm done to President Roosevelt's
chances for reelection would be incalculable.
"But I think you will 6nd," he added,
"that it will not hold without some change. If
the St. Paul decision is correctly interpreted as
wpng out all the railroad consultations that
have been made since 1890, it simply means
that the law which has been construed that
way will be changed by congress.
Thus it will be seen that the men who DOM
mate the Republican patty are NOT opposed to
trusts, but, rather, would protect them, even
by multiplying or crippling what little law we
have on the subject. There are many honest
Republicans who are sincerely opposed to
trusts but they will be unable TO control the
policy OF the party. The eaders-the dictat-
ors of the party's policy-are d termued to
protect the trust at any cost.
And this class of people are accomplishing
more than any other agency in the way OF edu-
eating the people up to the principle, or policy,
of public ownership OF public utilities.
