Publicity as the weapon of enforce
ment in an anti-pass law is now pro-
posed by those who are identified with
the movement to secure a law which
will curtelil the bribery of public off,
Gals with railroad passes. It is pro-
posed not only to prohibit the granting
OF passes to anyone but employees of the
roads and their families, but to require
the railroads to report to the executive
council for publication the names of
every man who has received pass.
The railroads retaliate with sug-
gestion that some legislator friendly to
them will propose a rider prohibiting
all mileage to newspapers on advertis-
ing contracts and it is confidently pre-
dicted by lobbyists that this threat will
effectually array the press against an
anti-pass bill. but will it?
AS a matter Of fact the newspapers
are paying well for their mileage now.
Most of them. and especially the large
dailies can get along without mileage

The Beacon would not be understood
as assuming that in an educational
and moral sense the election, the adj
ministration and the personal In
fiuence of a governor imbued with
the Rooseveltian spirit Is unimport-
ant. But it is difficult to see how
he can effectually impress his charac-
ter and sentiment upon national affairs
against the opposition of the men
whom we send to Washington. The
Beacon is not inveighirg any partic-
ular senator or congressman. 1t has
never filed an opinion with a view to
putting any member OF the delegation
out Of business. 1t is still willing to
be shown that national reforms are to
be won by applying the rigid tests OF
character to state officials alone, but
confesses it's present inability to UNDER
stand the force of such philosophy.

GOVERN RS-NATIONAL ISSUES.

Without coveting controversy with a
newspaper usually so strong in logic
and principle, the Beacon is wholly
unconvinced by the attempt of the
Register and Leader to prove that the
way to promote national issues is TO
ignore the character Of national repre-
sentation and insist upon Straight
goods" in the selection of candidates
for governor. LaFollette is nationally
prominent because Of his fight on state,
and not national issues. Folk and
johnson won on the superiority of
character and issues purely local, and
their winning has no national signifi-
canoe, except as additional indication
of a rising tide OF civic righteousness.

..sll railroad adver-
t.sing on Il cash basis than on an ex-
change for mileage Some of the met
ropolitan dailies exact cash from rail-
road advertising now. The more pro-
gressive roads are not content with
past advertising methods and are now
placing liberal cash appropriations
with the advertising agencies for spec
tally prepared copy and cash space In
magazines and metropolitan dailies.
However. be this as it may, there
would be nothing in an anti-pass law
to prevent newspaper manager and
q traffic manager making two con-
tracts, one for 500 worth of advertis-
ing and the other for four 1000 mile
books, both on cash basis at one and
the same time. The threat to coerce
the newspapers will not work.
But examined judicially 1t is doubt
full If legislature should seek to in
terfere with the contracts made by
railroads with private citizens except
to prevent discrimination In the SER
vices of common carrier. Politicians
will continue to qualify as local attor-
neys and all we can do is to depend
upon publicity to deter them. News
papers will trade advertising for mile
age as some trade advertising for groc-
cries or they will sell advertising for
cash and buy mileage with the same
cash.
The need Of the anti-pass law is to
reach the public servant. The state
government has right to insist that
no state official, legislator, county at
torney, district Judge, county super
visor or township official shall accept
or use a railroad pass while In office
just as it has the right to make 1t a
crime for any such official to accept
bribes Of any kind whatsoever. The
anti pass law should be aimed at pub
He officials who accept a public trust
when elected. Publicity will help en-
force such law. Newspapers are not
In 40 much danger from railroad mile
age contracts as they are from tie
public service corporations that buy
large blocks Of advertising space at
high rates for cash. AS to the politi-
clans a state wide primary law will
do mere to.destroy the influence of the
railroad pass than any other statute
altho delegates to political conventions
should be classed as public officials
and be included within all the prohi-
billions of an anti-pass law, If the
mysteries of the law will permit OF
such thing.

MAKING MONEY.

Since 1896, when the total amount of
actual money in the United States was
$1,000, 900, 900, the increase has been
enormous and statistical reports issued
at the close of the current fiscal year
show cash on hand to the amount OF
So, 500 100000. In 1895 the cash per cap
tia was $22.49. Today if the money
were equally distributed each person
would have ss1.19 in an inside pocket
Bond listings have increased from
s21s 100000 in 1897 to $642, 100000 in
1905, for the first half of the yeal.
$3.50, 900, 900 more than the banner year

only to he realized by the money we
have made. New industries have been

But II history repeats itself as 1t
may be expected to do, the golden days
will not last. We have had our seven
wears of prosperity and the lean kline
are on the way. With no prospects OF
hard times ahead we know hard times
are coming and. the man who makes
solid instead Of speculative investments
puts an anchor to windward. Specula-
ton is always dangerous. 1t is the
more dangerous as the period Of pros-
perity lengthens toward the recurrent
periods of depression. Wisdom and
experience counsel caution and
speculative craze born of the plentitude
of money and the splendid crop pros
poets might bring about the panic
that at present seems far off and Inn
possible. The danger in prosperity Is
that SO few are able to stand 1t.

SENATOR PlArT's OWN VERDICT.

when mer draw close to the end of
all earthly things, their Judgment
grows profound and their sense of
4 values more. acute. "Hindsight" Is
more accurate than foresight. Thus
Senator Tom Plat, looking back on his
career from his seventy second birth
day, regretfully said: Life hasn't
been worth while"
Most thinking people will agree with
Senator Plett. His life hasn't been
worth while. It has been lived for
himself, ana at its close even Platt
confesses II a failure. It has been
domineering to the weak and servl.e
to the strong, ready to split principle
for present success. Mr.. Plat thought
ne wanted a number Of things and got
them. Now his .crippled soul looks ut
the junk for which 1t sold Its health
and vigor and confesses its paid too
much.
9Th Mr. Platt's not uncommon experience
IL the result Of false ideals and ficti-
tious standards Of success. Not the
things we have, but the way we got
them counts at seventy three Mr.
Plat has been senator Nand political
.'boss'' Of New York, but he has never
been leader or vital force. He
has been ''looss" distributor of patron
age, divide,. Of political loot. NATURAL
" he is l1eartsick and disappointed
when he looks back and sees himself
wrangling and dicing over the spoils
IN the tap rooms Of politics, while great
men fought over great issues and
struggled to right wrongs. Imagine
Lincoln with the emancipation procla,
nation behind him, Jefferson looking
back to the day he presented the dec
laration to the continental congress, all
the men who have stood for human
rights turning the fading eyes of their
old age uron the track of their efforts
and Accomplishments to regret that
life had not been worth while. Platt
has been a political sutler and 1t is
never worth while to be sutler when
others are fighting and winning bat
ties.
Mr.. Plat in his peculiar field of poll
tiles, and Mr.. Rockefeller in his equally
peculiar field OF finance, are congenial.
They are both types OF success, judged
by their own false standards. But
Plat as a justice Of the peace In a
rustic township, and Rockefeller as a
day laborer, might have been happier
and better men. able to look brayely
into the gathering shadows at seventy
three; with the consciousness that life
had been worth while.
