Business VS.. Politics,

How little business men control
political action in this country has
lately been demonstrated in Massa-
chusetts. The Massa chusetts republic
can convention, it will be remembered,
treated the subject ofreciprocity with
Canada in a light and almost con
temptuous manner. Reading that plat
form, no one would suspect that
there was any strong reciprocity sem
timent in Massachusetts,
But not the least discouraged by the
f1ippant manner of the republican con-
yention the Boston chamber of COM
merce, without regard to the political
affiliations of it's members, goes on
agitating for reciprocity with Canada.
A few days ago there was placed in
the hands of the president Of that
body a petition signed by over 35, 900
bankers, merchants, manufacturers
and professional men, requesting that
reciprocal relations with foreign ma
tons, especially Canada and New
foundland, be established at once.
These $4,000 men may be safely
taken to represent the feeling of the
business men of New England regard
Ing reciprocity with Canada, and yet

the republican party, essentially the
business mems party practically
ignored the whole subject in, its state
platform. These business men,
if they did their duty in poli-
tics. would be able sto make the
Massachusetts platform say what the
people of the state think, but as they
failed to exert their influence thru po-
litical channels, the convention said
what Lodge and other national lead
ers thought it would be polite for it
to say regardless of the convictions of
the people.
The Times political column says that
the editor of T h Journ a is a candi-
date for presidential elector. The Times
political column knows 50 many things
that are not 50, that it is in a class by
itself.

Peril to Niagara.

There is a supreme test Of senti-
ment as opposed to commercialism
in the controversy over Niagara Falls
The American commercial instinct
and Individual selfshness sees in the
great cataract an enormous energy
going to waste, which should be har-
messed as quickly as possible and set
to driving machinery. Already three
great plants are in operation, and
an appreciable part Of the great:
stream has been diverted into unseen
turbines. The power grabbers want
another large concession, and they
have been able to prevail over the
New York legislature. Fortunately,
Governor Odell was not lost to his
sense of duty, and vetoed the bill.
The fight is not over, but will be
waged for an indefinite future time.
1t will take eternal vigilance to pre-
serve Niagara. If the power mag
mates had their way, the beautiful
surroundings Of the cataract would
be turned into a hive of factories,
artificial channels would honeycomb
s -
| mighty river would work it's way
| down to the level of the rapids un-
seen, leaving one Of the greatest nat
ural spectacles a dry and forlorn
precipice. s=Ssass 81
There is money to be made out of
Niagara, and the argument will be
a hard one to fight in the state Of New
York.
If New York fails to protect the
falls, the national government should
step in. Our honor is at stake. as a
nation. Nature gave us Niagara for
the world to enjoy, and the maledic-
tions Of all civilized people will be
on the nation that deliberately coins
such beauty and grandeur into gold.
If such thing were allowed, Ameri-
cans would be compelled to plead
guilty to the charge so often made
by our friends across the water, that
weS care more for the dollar than
anything else in the world.
i To be sure, Canada is equally re-
sponsible for the preservation of the
j cataract, and already the Canadians
have permitted one plant to divert
4 water into its tunnel. But the Cana
1 dams have three times the water to
4 give away that New York has, and
i for scenic purposes the smaller

Louis F. Watson, the New York end Of
the firm Of Watson Brothers, brokers, is
at home in Minneapolis for few days and
tells The Journal that the sentiment
among the heayyweights in Wall street
is undoubtedly very hostile to President
Roosevelt and decidedly friendly to Judge
Parker. The politics of Wall street is
always strictly commercial and local, in
which respect it probably does not differ
materially from the politics Of other Sec
tions. The fact. however that Wall street
does not approve Of Roosevelt and does
approve of Parker is something chat Par

New York Democracy.

The journal Is New York cor
respondent sizes up the political situa-
ton in New York to-day and suggests
very strongly the improbability Of the
nomination of Judge Parker. Not
that Parker is acceptable to a larger
number of democrats than any other
candidate named, but because of the
peculiar conditions which obtain. in the
state of New York.
Parker, as is we'll known, is David
B. Hills candidate, and anybody
whom David B. Hill favors must ex-
pect the opposition of Tammany be-
cause Hill and Tammany are political
rivals and cannot be harmonized.
Hill secured the Endorsement Of
Parker in the New York democratic
convention in spite Of Tammanys
protest But Parker cannot carry the
state of New York without Tammany's
support.
Tammany controls that end Of the
New York democracy from which
most of the votes necessary for the
success of the democratic ticket must
come, and having the votes very rea-
sonably asserts the right to name the
candidate.
Tammany is just now stronger and
more vigorous than ever and more
influential in democratic councils.
Tammany is more decent than it has
been before for a long time. 1t has
shown itself able to win in New York
without Croker, and it is giving the
| city under Mcclellan a very fair adj
ministration. The democratic party Of
the country will will not have as much
to apologize for on account of Tam
many as Tammany exists to-day as it
has ordinarily had.
But Tammany is not the only
crowd in New York which can be said
to carry a knife. Hill has been known
to have one, too, and the probabilities
are that if his candidate should be de-
| feated by Tammany and Mcclellan,
or some other Tammany candidate,
Hill would draw that knife in the up
per end of the state and the state
would be lost to the democrats.
The democrats must have New Y ork
to elect a president. Apparently the
only way to fix things in that state SC
as to make democratic, success posi-
BILE is to nominate somebody for whom
neither Hill nor Tammany is RESPONSE
/ BILE. but to the support of whom both
Hill and Tammany can rally without
either seeming to yield to the other

dark horse" is the probable outcome
of the st. Louis convention, assuming
of course, that that convention is able
to make a nomination which will fl
the necessities Of the party at the
present time.
William Allen White, who writes read
able things and edits the Enporia, Kan
sas Gazette, has been claiming tina
things are rotten in the state administra
ton and urging the governor to put al

do the examining himself if the governo
would give him the authority and do
without pay. The governor has taken hir
at his word and it is up to White nov

NOW IT'S -ANTlsEPTlc BOOTS

A leading medical journal argues that
antiseptic cleansing OF boots and shoes Is
needed as a hygienic measure. 1t Is
urged that the ordinary way of keeping
foot covering presentable is well calcu-
lated to spread thruout houses the germs
of disease which may be brought In from
the streets. Another point is made that
the inside Of a shoe is never cleaned. In
time of cholera epidemics, it is claimed,
the mortality has been unusually high
among bootblacks, and from that fact the
inference is drawn that the microscopic
seeds of death must be uncommonly nr-
merous on shoes and other covering for
the feet. $50

The Discrimination Against the
American Miller.

tho Millers' National Federation, IS
authority FOR. the statement that
flour milling plant costing $2,ooo,ooV
is now nearing completion in LONDON
and that the British miller erecting II
cites as an advantage to him the FAC.
that railroad companies OF the united
States are transporting wheat at rates
much lower than flour, thus enabling
him to get wheat cheaper than the
American miller can land hour IN
London.
This is hard competition for Mime
apolis and other American mining
centers. Fortunately conditions smut
ting out American flour entirely do
not maintain at all times, but compe-
tition is always keen, and frequently
as in the case of the recent New YORK
Central-Pensylvania rate war, the
American miller finds his foreign busl-
ness utterly demoralized.
Mr.. .Bradley's review Of the situa-
ton is interesting for the reason that
he has carried his analysis far. he
shows how the working man and the
farmer are hit; how the American
miller with capacity already existent,
would, under favorable conditions,
grind a much larger proportion OF the
American wheat crop, producing more
by-product, cheapening the cost OF
bran and other foodstuffs to the farm
er, making it possible to produce milk
and beef at less cost and benetltlng
American consumers generally. Othef
phases Of the question appear impor-
tant enough individually to warrant
attention, to say nothing of the main
cause for complaint-the Gripping or
a great American industry employing
many men.
All the millers ask. is a fair show.
What they have contended against
may be understood by rates recently
in force, under which the roads were
taking sixty-two pounds of wheat
from Buffalo to,New York, for export,
for two-tenths of a cent, while the
flour rate remained at 100 pounds for
9h cents. The flour mills had to close
until the roads patched up truce. 4
Last week a number of Minneapolis
representatives appeared before the
Interstate commerce commission, took
full advantage Of this first opportunity
to present their grievances and did
much in an educational way. But the
hearing before the commission was
that Of the matter of differential rates
as between New York and other. At
lantic seaports, and the Minneapolis
argument was really incidental to thu
main question. Yet in the Minneapo.
lis petition was embodied an economic
consideration even more importan
and more worthy of the attention Of
the commission than the matter ther
before it. The question of equitable
rates to seaboard points cannot com
pare in Importance to that of permit
ting such degree Of discrimination be
tween rates on raw material and {
finished product as to take away from
the American manufacturer his raw
material and give it relatively cheape
to a competitor in q foreign country
This question is too big to be treated
as subordinate or Incidental to an
other. 1t should have a specia
hearing before the interstate com
rnerce commission.
