An Inspiring Declaration.

Combinations Of capital and OF
labor are the results of the economic
movement Of the age, but neither
must be permitted to infringe upon the
rights and interests Of the people.
Such combinations. when lawfully
formed for lawful purposes, are alike
entitled to the protection Of the laws
and neither can be permitted to break
them.'
So says the republican national plat
form, adopted this week at Chicago,
and 1t is one Of the fairest and most
courageous declarations on the subject
of labor and capital that any great
political party in this country has ever
made. 1t will commend itself to the
best element of labor as we'll as Of
capital. The lawbreakers on both
it will stand all the strain of the cam
paign, because it is just and in keeping
with the best thought Of the country.
One Of the contributing causes to
the riot and bloodshed which have so
frequently accompanied contests be-
tween labor and capital, more partic-
ularlys in recent years, has been the
failure of the great political parties,
for reasons Of expediency, to take hold
Of this great question in the proper
spirit. This plank Of the republican
platform has the true Roosevelt ring,
and it would not be surprising, should
the facts ever be brought out, to find
out that he himself wrote it. The i'm
portance Of such a declaration will lie
in the effect it may have upon public
sentiment. That sentiment needs
crystallization and intelligent direc-
ton. It Is about ready to take a
stand on this most important Of our
| industrial and economic questions
| and who knows but the republican
platform declaration this year has
been made at the psychological mo-
| ment?

Omega Oil was launched a little
alone, kept up almost continuously
from the beginning until now, this
remedy has become one of the stand
ard articles sold in drugstores. Over
one and half million dollars has
been invested in famiiarizing the
public with the name of Omega Oil.
The advertising Of Omega Oil was
kept up for four and a half years at
an almost steady loss. There were
only occasional lapses now and then
when the monthly trial balance
showed profit For the last eight
months, however, the profits have
been continuous and the sales are
moving along like clockwork.
It is interesting as an advertising
fact, as the experience of this COM
pany shows, that after once proprie-
tary article is generally known, its
sale can be kept up to high-water
mark by advertising that is much
abridged. It is a good deal like get
ting an express train going at top
speed. A lot of steam is consumed
in getting a start and in reaching a
maximum speed, but when once the
wheels are moving right it takes COM
paratively little steam to maintain the
gait
1t has been found that in the intro-
duction of Omega Oil the newspapers
were almost indispensable. They were
used to give full particulars about
Omega Oil and to explain to the peo-
pie just what the remedy was good
for, what 1t cost and all about it.
1t is only proper to say that there
were times in the history of the
Omega Chemical company when
the outlook was not promising
and when the cost of operating
the business exceeded by many odds
the returns that came back. The
final triumph of Omega Oil is due in
a great degree to the persistence.
nerve and unshakable faith in the
outcome displayed by Mr.. M. Wine
burgh, the president of the company.
No great advertiser ever reached sue
cess without passing thru just such
an experience as that. No man has
any business going into advertising on
big scale unless he is prepared to
get a lot of hard knocks and unless
he is possessed Of mountains of nerve
and faith

The Force of Habit.

A rather novel view of graft and
corruption Of public officials was
taken in one of the papers read be-
fore the convention Of the National
Association of Grain Dealers in Mil
waukee this week. The author Of the
paper took the view that the corrup-
ton of public officials by business
men coming into contact with them
regarding contracts, supplies, etc.,
was the most natural thing in the
world, for the reason that to do so
was merely to apply the practice that
prevails very largely in the private
business world. He declared that
special concessions, commissions, re-
bates, discounts, presents, tips, ETC.,
were commonly used to get business
as between individuals and corpora
tions, and that it was not surprising
that when business men were seek
ing to obtain contracts or orders from
public officials they should follow the
same methods.
The business man who expects to
get contract from a private corpo-
ration by making a handsome present
to the purchasing agent or his wife,
or giving him a secret commission,
naturally proceeds in a similar man
ner when he approaches public Off
Gals. There is no law that makes it
an offense for an employee Of prt-
vate corporation to accept a present
or commission in recognition of his
influence. There are laws that make
such a transaction by a public en-
p1oyee a crime. Morally there is no
difference between the private en-
ployee who accepts a commission and
the public employee who accepts a
bribe. The commission-giver or bribe-
offerer sees no difference between the
two. If he has come to think that
it is proper for him to use more per-
lzuasive arguments in private transact

Knox's Sacrifice and Compensa,
ton.

When Mr.. Knox entered the cabinet,
it was understood that he did so at
great sacrifice, financially. This was
true, for the salary of cabinet Of
fcer, $4,000 per annum, Is very
small sum when compared with Mr..
Knoxs income from the practice of
his profession. But there are some
things in this world which are of more
account than riches, and which riches
cannot buy. Read the following ex-
tract from the letter written by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in acceptance of Mr..
Knox's, resignation from the cabinet:
Many great and able men have
preceded you in the office you hold,
but there is none among them whose
administration has left so deep a mark
for good upon the country's Develop
ment. Under you it has been literally
true that the mightiest and the hum
blest in the land have alike had it
brought home to them that each was
sure Of the laws protection while he
did right, and that neither could hope
to defy them wrongfully.''
Mr.. Knox is a very rich man, but
his chief treasure today is the esteem
in which he is held by the people of
the country, whose faithful and intelli-
gent servant he has been. No money
could buy the reputation which the
presidents letter reflects or take it
away. It Is without price. In a i'm
portant sense, therefore, Mr.. Knox
made no sacrifice when he entered the
as the result Of that action. And the
entire country has gained with him,
and is now delighted to do him honor.
There never has been time when
the American people were more quick
to recognize efficient public service
than they are today. Since the Span
ish war number Of men heretofore
unknown have risen to high places.
They have made for themselves endur-
ing regulations, and the people speak
their names with respect. Among
those men stands Philander G. Knox
It is fitting that some word Of that
kind be spoken now, in view of the
very general feeling at the time he
was selected for the cabinet that his
capitalistic4 environment and the hab-
it's of thought it was supposed to have
produced would hardly permit him to
serve the people faithfully. Never did
the country rid itself of an erroneous
| impression more speedily. The Nc
Kinley- Roosevelt cabinets have given
| two great men to the nation. Root is
one, Knox is the other, and the best
wishes of all the people will follow
them, wherever they may go.

on the premise that private graft is
very common. 1t is question whether

We want to remind the lake dwell
ers of Minneapolis again that the re-
publican primary election, to select
delegates to the county convention
which is to make up the Hennepin
delegation to the state nominating
convention, will be held next Mon
day night. It may cause the lake
people a little inconvenience to do
so, but 1t is so clearly the duty Of
every voter among them to remain
in town that evening and attend the
primaries that it is hard to believe
that any good citizen will neglect it.
The state has a right to expect that
there is enough patriotism and enough
devotion to her interests among her
citizens to induce them to make what
ever sacrifice of ease and convenience
may be necessary to discharge this
obligation. Minneapolis expects every
man to do his duty, and will make no
exceptions for those well-to-do people
who spend their summers at the lake
but whose votingplaces are in the city.

THE MAGAZINE SAMPLER

VIII Folk Head the Democratic Ticket?
Claude H. Wetmore, in The Reader
Magazine, says the Missourian's noni-
nation is not at all an impossibility. He
puts it thus:
Missouri today presents the paradox Of mans
enemies endeavoring to present him with the
choicest gift in the United States-they wish to
make him chief executive of the nation.
This boom for Joseph W. Folk, which Is
growing with rapidity thruout the United States,
was started at conference of political leaders
held in st. Louis about two months ago, and its
and powerful influences behind them that
1t would be impossible to defeat Mr.. Folk for
the guternatorial nomination in the democratic
state convention.
It is a possibility-and it may become prob
ability before this article is read-that after an
oratorica1 outburst in the democratic national
convention by man like Bourke Cochran the
maine Of Mr.. Folk will be pyrotechnically placed
at the head of the national ticket.
The Reader Magazine for July shows
decided advance in those tendencies that
have promised from the first to give it
distinction. It is unlike any other maya
zine published and is thoroly readable.
