the moral stamina to rebuke the inso-

have chosen for senator one of their
own men. But she cannot be eX-
pected to disclose any such moral
stamina now. She has grown accus-
toned to such insolence. She has al
most forgotten the better traditions OF

bosses to rule and she thanks God that
she has her Cassatts, her Baers and
her Tricks to manage her affairs for

STILL CUTTING EXPENSES.

The Pennsylvania railroad company
has determined to lay off 5000 more Of
it's employees on lines east of Pittsburg
and Erie. This will make a total of
10000 men taken out of the ranks of
the producers under the control of one
corporation OF those continued in
service all or nearly all will work on
reduced time. In the shops a holiday
week will be given and on the line
the men will be called less frequently.
Altogether it Will work a vast decrease
in the aggregate of the pay rolls. Prob
ably the difference will amount to over
500. 900 a month. But no diminution
in the expenses of living has been dis
covered since the curtailing movement
began.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
is not cutting down its force and de-
creasing its expenses for reasons Of
parsimony. The managers of that

FRANVIS WOULD BE A FROST

Golfers Weekly says:
Ex-Governor Francis, president of
the worlds fair at st. Louis, is one of
two citizens of Missouri frequently
of the democratic convention. We
hardly think the democrats, whatever
their possibilities for folly, viii mona
mate politician who has been an OPP
ponent of Joseph Folk in his brilliant
fight against the Missouri machine.
Some people have thought the OPPOSE
ton of Francis was based on fear
that Folks success would make him
MissOuri's favorite son in 1898, and
thus put spoke in the ambitions of
the former governor and cabinet Off
Ger Guessing at motives is not our
task at present We wish merely to
suggest the volume of Indifference, of
positive ennui, that would fall upon
ed to work up ardor for Mr.. Francis.
Such a nomination would also have
hurt Ma. Folks campaign for the gov
ernorship, had there been any serious
opposition. Fortunately, however, the
machine is already beaten, and the re-
publicans have no chance. as is shown
by the consideration which they are
giving to the question of indorsing Mr..
Folk. Whether they do or not is act
ually a pure matter of national and To-
cal politics. although it may take on
the look of tribute to the circuit at

BARBER APPEALS TO COURT.
Claims He Is illegally Deprived of
Right to Work.

CHEHALIS, June 30.-Judge A. F.
Rice has issued writ of review di-
rected to the Washington state board
of barber examiners citing them to ap-
pear at Chehalis August 80 and show
cause why d. r. Rhoades of Centralia
should not be granted a license to
practice at his trade in this state.
Rhoades was formerly twelve years in
the barber business at Centralia, but
left it for about four years to work
at another employment. Some time
ago he opened a shop in Centralia and
worked under permit until the state
board met. when on June 10 he took
the examination. He failed to make
the 20 per cent that was required of
applicants at the examination and was
denied certificate, which the law re-
quires. The board, Messrs, Koch,
Brown and Ireland, have directed him
not to practice barbering in the cities
of the state of the first second or third
class. RhOades claims that he is COM
petent and proficient in all the legal
requirements of the calling; that he
has invested $500 in furniture and
fixtures, and that unless he can go
ahead with his business he will lose
his investment as we'll as the means of
earning a livelihood. 1t is further set
up in his affidavit that barbering is q
harmless calling, and that the state
has no legal right to license such a
trade, neither can it be regula tea and
prohibited: that the BARRIERS act dis
eliminates between citizens and grants
privileges and immunities to one class
not granted to another; that it de-
prives the laborer of his right to work,
which is both his property and his
liberty, without due process Of law;
that it delegates to an irresponsible
board of barber examiners Legislative
powers, and that said board exercises
judicial functions. Other objections
are enumerated. Richard Ruff1n, a.
well known attorney of South Bend,
represents Rhoades. The latter is en-
abled, under the order of the court, to
continue his work until August 90
when the case will be heard

great corporation are not given TO the
habit of saving at the spigot and
wasting at the bung.' If conditions
justified it they would be glad to in
crease. rather than diminish industrial
forces. But as a matter of fact they
have been forced to the policy which
has been inaugurated. The decrease
in the volume of traffic has compelled
the curtailment of the number of EN-
ployes and the policy is a matter OF
self preservation. In other words the
expenditures must be shaved down to
balance the slump in receipts.
Secretary Shaw, of the treasury
livered at Wilmington, the other day,
that there is prosperity in high prices
and that the growing expenses of liv-
ing are subjects for cOngratulation
rather than regret. The 10000 idle
employees of the Pennsylvania railroad
are not likely to view the conditions
through the same lenses. The recent
advance in the price of meats, the re-
suit of a trust agreement, is not likely
to be hailed with satisfaction by them.
On the contrary it is much more likely
to be deprecated as q substantial rea-
son for regret. II may not mean act
ual suffering, but it will certainly In
volve considerable deprivation.

POWERS THAT MADE KNOX
SENATOR.

The people Of Pennsylvania have had
nothing to say or to do in the manner
of choosing a successor to Mr.. Quay.
Not even the political bosses were per-

was made by President Cassatt of the
Pennsylvania. by President George F..
Baer Of the Reading. and by Mr.. Prick
of the United States Steel Corporation.

Jones, then a republican, served a term

LINCOLN VS.. GUNSAULlS.

Addressing the graduating class OF
the Armour institute of chicago le"
DAVIS ago. Rev. Frank Gunsaulis, a Ia
nous pulpit orator, declared: mere
never was a more interesting raise
hood than that all men were created
aouaI' The Declaration of mdepend-
ence was the work of an hour OF IN
tense excitement, and at every ma
tional anniversary this phrase Is ms
quoted, because when 1t is taken from
the context it is false.
Premier Balfour of Great Britain,
said recently
unfortunately the theories of the
eighteenth and early nineteenth CEN
turies that all men were born equal
have been refuted in this, as in many
other instances, by advanced science.
Men are not born equal. They cannot
he made equal by education extending
over generation after generation With
in the ordinary historical limit.
In the sense that Thomas Jefferson,
the author of the Declaration or lnde-
pendence, intended it the theory that
all mon are created equal is true.
Abraham Lincoln defined the true
meaning of Jefferson's phrase IN
speech at Springfield, Illinois, in 1860,
i'm which he said:
"The assertion that all men are ere
ated equal was of no practical use IN
effecting our separation from Great
Britain; and it was placed IN the
Declaration. not for that. but for fu-
tnre use. It's authors meant it to be
as. thank God. it is now proving ITSELF
a stumbling block to those who IN at
ter times might seek to turn a tree
peOple back into the hateful paths OF
despotism. They knew the proneness
of prosperity to breed tyrants and they
meant. when such should reappear in
this fair land and commence their Vo-
cation, they should find left for them,
at least. one hard nut to crack.
II think the authors of that notable
instrument intended to include all
men. but they did not mean to declare
all men equal in all respects. They
did not mean to say that all men were
equal in color size, intellect, moral de-
velopment or social capacity. They
defined with tolerable distinctness in
what they did consider all men created
euual-equal in certain inalienable
rights. among which are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. inns
they said and this they meant. They
did not mean to assert the obvious I'M
truth. that all were then actually en-
Toying that equality, or yet, that they
were about to confer it Immediately
upon them. In fact they had no pow
or to confer such a boon. They meant
simply to declare the right so that the
enforcement of it might follow as fast
as circumstances should permit They
meant to set up a standard maxim for
free society which should be familiar
to all: constantly looked to, constant
ly lahored for. and even, though never
perfectly attained, constantly approx
mated. and thereby constantly spread
ing and deepening its influence and
augmenting the happiness and value
of life to all people of all colors, every
where"

A REBUKE FOR ROOSEVELT.

From the Mexican Herald.
There is, by far, too much arrogance
and Impotence among the lingo states
men of the United States when they
view conditions in Latin America.
Their policy is full of mischief; they
arouse hostility where they might
make friends; they aim at empire. and,
were they to make it a reality. they
would destroy the freedom of the
American people, for the open annexa-
ton of, or the disguised declaration
of a huge protectOrate over Latin
America means the definite establish
ment of militarism in the United
States. The republican party has gone
far during recent years in this direction
The old American idea of great clus-
ter of friendly republics in this hemi-
sphere are given way, among the
leaders of the dominant party of the
and control in New World affairs. Per
haps there may yet be a reaction; a
party may come into power which will
proclaim the doctrine of the Ameri-
cas- for all their peoples each free with
in it's own territory, each pursuing its
evolution toward a more perfect civil
lization.
How different the doctrines of a

lean people have given their endorse
ment to the significant and disquieting
utterance upon which we have been
