Offenses and 1.-The Lid"

The Sunday law has been en-
forced literally in St. Louis since
April 16. As yet there ar no in
dications of frantic revolt against
the unusual restraint and evidently
predictions that enforcement would
breed disorder are not to be verifi
ed.
The comparative police statistics
of four years, for the period dat
ing from April 16 to June 25,
show the following Sunday offenses
against the law: Murder-19O3,
1; 1905, 9. Assault to kiIl-1aO2,
I; 1908, 8; 1904, 8; 1905, 8. Dis
turbing the peacc-1902, 412;
1908, 313; 1904, 393; 1905, $50.
Intoxication-19O2, III; 1903, ISL,
1904, 1875; 1905, 90.
Except for the two or three ar
rest on the charge of murder, as
against one arrest on this charge
in 1908, the police statistics show
a record of better order and a re-
duction in crime during the Slid
down" period in 1905. The arrests
for assault to kill are only half as
many us in 1902 and only one-third
as many as in 1903 or in 1904.
The arrests for drunkenness are
only about half as many as ia other
three years. Statistics are not al
ways conclusive, but to the extent
that they are valuable, these show
better order and q decrease in
criminal acts and the common Of
fenses.
1t seems clear that ths common
exhibitions of disorder r-disturb-
ances and drunkenness +-have been
reduced almost so per cent.
Hospital figures show similar
result. Sunday and Monday cases
have been reduced to a small num-
Der.
Sunday closing seems to be justi-
fed by practical results.-Repub-
| lie.

Thomas w. Lawson, of "Fren-
zied Finance" fame, said at Kansas
City the other day: ''Prosperity
means that the people have had
what is necessary and have some
thing left over. There has never
been such prosperity as ours. But
the people have nothing left over
from their own labors. The sur
plus is going somewhere. They
wonder and see a follow standing
beside them who holds $4OO, ,O0O,-

about right, the people who are
the real producers see the surplus
accretions of wealth going to those
who have had no real or vital part
in its creation. But what of Law.

is stock broker, one of the para
site class-how much of the peo-
pies money has he accrued to him

nation on the subject of his wealth
other than to say: "Great God! |

does he make itl What are his
miIlionss 1t is generally attribut-

Lawson calls Rockefeller, Rogers
and the rest of the Standard Oil
crowd thieves and rascals, and
cody places himself in the opposite
category, yet his business is SINH
lar to that of the men he SO enthu-
siastioally assails in spasm of
morality. Lawson may be doing
good work with his exposure of
high finance methods, but he
would appear little more virtuous
to the toiling millions, whose self
constituted champion he has be-
come, if he would keep his own
hands ont of the surplus of their
accumulations and get away him
self from the methods he condemns
in others.

The Standard Oil company has
