WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Primary and Game Laws.

To the Editor of The Journal.
There are just now two matters of eX-
traordinary interest. The primary law
and the game law.
I believe that a blanket ballot on which
every candidates name would appear un-
der the proper party name or Independent.
would be generally acceptable. Exact no
party test. The result would be the Gre
alton of an election ballot which should
represent the will of the voters Of all and
of no parties at tie general election. 1
would provide for putting on such ballot
all the Independents who receive 10 per
cent Of the entire vote, thus doing away
present law is to absorb the weaker party
In the stronger 1t tends to lower the
character and standing of candidates. In
other words, it removes the necessity Of
placing the best men in nomination.
The game law is no protection to land
owners. True. it provides that an owner
may give notice that mo hunting" is
allowed, by posting such a placard on
every forty acres. Then he must go into
court to maintain his rights and bear the
epithets mean" "hoggish," etc., if ho
does. I would provide for no open season
on enclosed and cultivated lands, except
to the owners, and make it the duty of
game wardens to enforce the law The
farmer who raises the game could then
get some benefit from the covies he feeds
and without maintaining placards Of mo
hunting on every forty acres. My own
experience illustrates. I own over 800
acres of land and have raised some ten
covies of grouse, and the town hunters
got them all in two days, and I couldn't
even buy one for sick wife. The pres
ent systems may amuse the people, but
both primary and game laws are unjust,
They are bad, laws.

At the Root of All.

Miss Ida Tarbell has concluded her
interesting history Of the Standard Oil
company in Mcclure IS magazine. Those
who have read this history from the
beginning will not be surprised at her
general conclusion that the Standard
Oil company, or rather the Standard Oil
business group, is a great and grow
ing menace to the liberties of the peo-
pie Of the United States. The tendency
Is marked for this group to dominate
other forms Of business just as it domi-
mates the Oil business. It has gone into
railways, steel and copper, as everybody
knows: Its control of the natural re-
sources Of the republic has already
reached an alarming degree. The oil
company alone has net profits Of about
$45,OOO,OOO year, which are largely put
back into some other business than the
oil business by the members of the
group.
That amount Of money invested each
year by the same business combination
or group means rapidly growing in
tluence over the entire business of the
nation.
tion may keep on gathering riches and
business power to itself until it will
control directly or Indirectly all the
major forms Of business activity in the
nation. The whole country would then
be working for one great combination,
by the side of which the government at
Washington would sink into insignifi-
canoe. If such a time should come.
either the government would take over
the Standard by force or the Standard
would take over the government bv
cunning. In the former case we would
have arrived at kind of socialistic
state; in the latter case we would ba
q great commercial feudalism, benevo-
lent or otherwise; mostly otherwise,
probably.
Miss Tarbell finds that the root of
this great national incubus lies In the
transportation problem. Railway dis
crimination in one form built up the
Standard Oil company and is buttress-
ing and protecting it in another. For
years the Standard Oil company re-
ce1ved rebates on both it's own ship
ments and those Of it's competitors It
no longer enjoys rebates, but it does
enjoy railway favor to a marked de-
gree. Many of the railway companies
are, more or less dominated by the
Standard group, and others are afraid of
its power. Distributing points having
Standard Oil refneries get lower rates
on petroleum than distributing points
that have Independent refineries, and
annoyances and irritations are continu-
ally |heaped up by the railway COM
panies for the Standards competitors.
To show how insignificant all our at
tempts up to this time have been TO
control the railways, it is enough to saw
that Miss Tarbell cites one case begun

Davis on the Canal.

In his letter of acceptance, Mr.. Davis
expresses his pleasure at the prospect of
the early completion of the transisth-
lnian canals @but,EEs in accordance with
democratic policies, he "deprecates the
action Of the present administration
which inflicted a wound upon our ma
tional honor by it's disregard of the
rights of weaker nation in order to
gain doubtful credit for energy in for
warding that great ENTERPRISE
This is like all the criticism of the
president g action in the Panama matter
by partizan democrats. They are glad
to have the canal built, but they feel
bound to abuse the president for MAX
ing it possible, to. build it. The com.
plaint against the president is that we
had treaty with Colombia guarantee
ing that country territorial integrity
and imposing upon us at the same time
the authority and the duty to control
and police the line of railway trans
portation across the isthmus. This con-
Meeting link between the two oceans
made by railroad iron was constructed
to serve the commerce of the world.

that order is maintained in the vicinity
of it SO that commerce may not be
interrupted. y - seu"aia41 %r3 q. 49,.
The United States was engaged in
maintaining order in the transportation
zone in which the canal lies when a
portion of the republic of Colombia
revolted against the unjust and burden
some treatment Of that country by the
Colombian congress. The state depart
ment and the president interpreted the
treaty with regard to the integrity of
Colombia to mean that the United States
would not permit any foreign power to
rob Colombia Of any part of her terri
tory, but that the United States never
undertook to insure Colombia against
revolt and secession Of Shero own citiS
Zens.
This is the only Interpretation of that
treaty consistent with our national hon
or. 1t was certainly not the business
OF the United States, and not contam-
plated by that treaty, to interfere in
any family troubles Colombia might
have and compel portions of her people
and territory to submit to oppressive
and unjust control. If portion of the
people of Colombia see fit to establish
an independent government, it is GER
talnly not part of the United States
to force them back against their will

ment hostile to their interests and dis.
posed to impose hardships upon them.

occasionally there appears, out Of the
mass OF sensational plays which befog the

loses nothing of that character because
reason has ruled in its construction. Once
In a while, also, a manager arises from
the midst of his fellow fortune hunters
and demonstrates the possibility of pro-
duclng possible melodrama in a possible
manner with possible people.
When such occasion arrives it behooyes
him who must perforce study the passing
snow to arise and declare that the situa-
t1on Is not hopeless; that in spite of the

there is still cause for hope among the

Therefore, the hour has come to say
that even Lincoln J.. Carter has produced

True, he exhibits no ingenuity in plot
or situations, building largely upon the
story of the wrongly suspicious husband

MS villain is so villainously villainous as
almost to make one despair of ultima te

True, he develops his plot instanter and
orags IN MS spec1alties on the heels Of

he may employ, does not resort to trick
scenery; does not cause his actors to fall
amid fierce hail of bullets, and he
does give his parts to acceptable people.
Stanley and Lolita Lamb as the two lit

to be in the prodigy class. And, barring
