NEW VIEW OF CUPID.
Capricious Sprite of Love as a Re,
cruiting Officer.
He Helps to Keep Up the Quota of Sol
diers in All Countries Where
General Conscription Is
Not in Vogue.

Love is the greatest recruiting Off
Ger the army of any nation ever had.
That is in time of peace. In times
of war it may be admitted that pa
triotism draws the men into the
ranks. But in the piping times of
peace it is Cupid who enlists the
men.
When the war clouds get big on
the horizon a brass band and a few
patriotic speeches will keep the
sergeants busy writing down the at
tainments of the men who wish to
enter the service. When the inter-
national sky is unclouded it is Cupid
who plays the band and brings in the
recruits.
That is what the recruiting officers
say. 1t is well known that the
young women cannot resist the effect
of brass buttons and blue cloth.
Cupid works both ways in doing
his duty as recruiting officer. He
enlists man to win the girl, or he
enlists the man because the girl can
not be won. He gets the young fell
low who wants to be successful, and
he gets the young fellow who has
failed.
The one wants to get the added
attraction of the uniform, and the
other wants to run his head against
bullet and make the girl feel
sorry.
Not long ago young man from
down the state came to Chicago to
enlist. He had been employed in a
restaurant in small town. He also
had fallen in love with girl who
gave him the cold shoulder, and de-
clared that she never could marry a
waiter. That, says the Chicago Trib-
uhe, settled the restaurant job for
the young man. He could not be a
millionaire and own automobiles and

BODY BLOW FOR GOVERNOR

The editor of the Appleton Posi- pithi-
ly sums up the whole objection to Gov
LaFollette's theory Of the taxation OF
mortgages in the following para
graph:
I'VE cannot, however, as warmly
commend the governors suggestion that
mortgages be taxed, even though the
taxes of mortgaged property be scaled
down correspondingly to avoid double
taxation. OF course the governor ar
CUES plausibly and skillfully in support
of his proposition but to our mind his
whole position on the question Is upset
by the admission Money rates, like
the rates upon any other commodity,
are controlled by the market price.
Precisely as we have often urged.
Consequently, if money is worth and
will bring say 5 per cent with mortgag'
es untaxed, it will command just as
much higher rate with mortgages
taxed, az the tax amounts to-.

GOVERNMENT AND COAL BUSINESS

The question is now up before con-
gress, can the national government take
over mines and operate them for public
benefit, Addressing itself to this pro-
blem, The Springfield Mass Republi-
can has the following to say; CHAR
man Jenkins Of the house Judiciary
committee has, in cautious language,
expressed the opinion that the national
government has the constitutional pow.
or to take over coal mines located with
in the jurisdiction of any state and
operate them for the benefit Of the pub
lie at large. However he asks that his
committee be instructed to inquire into
the matter.
There is some question Of the right
Of eminent domain inhering in the fede-
raj government as to property located
within state. If we mistake not, pro-
vision for its exercise is made in the
irrigation act passed at the last session
OF congress; but if the United States
6oNCIAAACuI ubS ever heIuiiCd PioPOAcy
within the states in this way, and the
act has stood the test of judicial opinion,
the case is not recalled. There are
numerous cases where the power OF the
states in eminent domain over private
property within their limits has been
held above the right of congress or the
national government to interfere with.
For example, it was held by the United
States Supreme court in Pollard against
Hagan g Howard 23O) that the right OF
eminent domain over the shores and
soils under navigable waters for all
local purposes belongs exclusively to
the states, and that they and they only
have the constitutional power to exer-
else it. If this is the case in relation to
navigable waters, over which the gene.
raj government exercises certain juris-
diction, so much more must it be, it
would seem, in relation to other lands
and property within state.

ON MONOPOLY

No one who follows the current trend
of national politics on economic ques
tons believes that congress Is sincerely
animated by desire to regulate trusts
in the interest of the people, though II
is fact that there are gone senators
and representatives, who are earnest ad'
yocates of the passage Of such Legislation
that will forever destroy monopoly. 1t
has been prevalent thought that mon
opoly and combination are correlative
terms, meaning, from an economic point
Of view, exactly the same thing. Ihls
is an egregious construction. COmbln-
alton Of capital, for instance, used for
the purpose Of producing manufactured
articles and distributing them at the
lowest cost, is legitimate, as long as the
use Of il is kept within the bounds OF
competitive trade and is not used in
restraint Of trade, the latter being mon
opoly, pure and simple.
All congress is requested to do IN pass
antitrust legislation is to create laws
which shall prevent companies seeking
to monopolize any special branch OF
trade from achieving such "A result.
AS an illustration small manufacturer
might possibly produce his goods and
distribute then as cheaply a. larger
concern if conditions were equal But
if the larger company, because OF Its
greater shipments can procure special
transportation privileges, it thus handi'
caps the smaller man, hence it can sell in
the market TO advantage the advantage,
of course, secured unfairly
If congress shall Is.ss antitrust laws
the one and only question to be consid-
cred is the legal inhibition of mon
opoly.
In little criticism on the trust ques-
ton, the Madison Democrat says:
Antitrust sentiment seems to be
spreading in congress like a prairie fire,
says an exchange. 1t were n better
statement to say that the antitrust
sentiment in the country is soaring con.
gress and the members feel that they
must do something but they will seek
TO allay the public discomfort and at the
same time harm the trusts as little az
possible.

Certainly no objection could be

Still it is to be hoped that the Jen-
kins resolution will be acted upon favor
ably, and that an official inquiry into
the matter will be undertaken. There
is no question raised of the advisability
Of taking the coal mines under national
ownership or operation; it is simply
question whether the national govern
ment can constitutionally do so if it
wishes A mere determination that it
an might be of salutary effect upon the
private conduct of these monopolies.
The situation has changed greatly since
the above decisions were rendered over
so years ago. The interdependence Of
the states has greatly increased. The
power of congress to regulate interstate
commerce has been greatly extended in
its application. There seems to be no
question that congress might acquire
for the national government under pow
er of eminent domain, railroad property
located within state in furtherance of
its right to regulate commerce between
the states in such adequate measure rs
the interests of the people of other
states demand. And so it may be that
coal property in one state, which has
developed among people of other states
a dependence upon it for their comfort
and welfare, is subject to like consti-
tutional power upon the part of the
national government.
1t will do no harm and may do some
good to have congressional investiga-
ton Of the question and declaration
as to the probable powers Of the nation
al government under the constitution.
The owners of the coal mines must be
made to understand that they are in
possession of property of a quasi-public
nature, which must be operated accor-
dinghy if they expect to hold possession.
There are limits to the public tolerance
of conditions such as have been allowed
to develop and of the assumption by
men like Baer of divine right to act
as they please with the mines. If mode
rate methods of forcing them to the
adoption of more tolerable attitude as
to their assumed rights, and more toler-
able conduct in the sale of their product
prove to be inadequate, then radical
ones will be adopted and if a legal way
to reach them is not now open one will
be provided.

TWO PRIMARY BILLS

Primary election bills have already
been introduced into the legislature, one
by Assemblyman Andrews and the other
by Assemblyman Freer.
The main provisions Of the Andrews
bill provide that all nominations for all
offices except village town and school
district offices shall be made at primary
elections to be held on the first Tues.
day in September, 1904, and held bien-
tally thereafter for all general cleo
tons.
Primary elections are also to be held
on the second Tuesday preceding the
municipal election days for municipal
nominations Notice of elections are
to be given sixty days prior to election.
Nominations of candidates to be
voted at the primaries are to be &c.
cured through nomination papers.
Petitions must have the names Of 2 per
emit. Of the voters. In the case OF
minor parties which cast lesser vote
this provision is not to apply. A petit
ton signed generally by per cent. OF
the vote cast for that party will be
sufficient.
In cases Of non-partis an candidates
nominations must be endorsed by A per
cent of the total vote cast at the last
preceding general election.
Separate nomination papers must be
circulated for state officers and con-
gressmen. Affidavits must be also at
tached to this petitions of at least one
citizen stating that he knows person
ally the signers of such petition. Nom
nations for state officers must be filed
with the secretary of state and county
officers with county clerk; city offices
with city clerk.
All nominations must be filed fifteen
days before the primary election to in
sure names being placed on the prim'
airy election ballot. This ballot is to
be prepared fourteen days before
election.
The expenses for the primary election
are to be borne by state, county and city
respectively.
Ballots are to be similar to the present
election ballot, and provision IS made
for primary officers similar to that az
at present obtaining.
The Frear bill is similar in many OF
its provisions to the Andrews bill, except
it goes more into detail regarding detini
| tons and form of the ballot
Neither of these bills, however, IL
likely to be accepted by the admins
tration.

than that the majority of marriages

of European royalty. While royal mar
riages are contracted for state reasons,
aristocratic marriages are contracted FOR
social position. The motive is the same
in both cases, though the end sought is
dissimiliar. In the former case tho
