The Square Deal.

What a happy time 1t would be II an
era could be ushered in when every cit
izen could be assured that be would
have q square dealr' This term has
been popularlzed by the head of the ma
ton. 1t is a comfortable term, pointed
and expressive. 1t has been literally
employed by politicians and employers.
Yet there probably never was a time
when the idea was so firmly rooted In
the public mind that a square deap
was as hard to get as now. In poll
ties the word graft Is used ten times
where honor is used once Honesty as
a word still remains in the political vo-
cabulary, but 1t Is used in its Pick
wicklan sense more often than other
wise Merit counts, no doubt, but pull
scores more often
In business. as in politics. the impress
sion holds that young men must have
somebody OF influence behind them If
they are to make progress. This is es-
pecially true in big institutions, where
the good places are largely held by
sons, brothers and cousins of officials
high up or stockholders who control.
II this line of thought were followed
long enough it would lead TO a very
pessimistic outlook; but, giving full
measure TO these unsatisfactory and
unhealthy tendencies, which do exist
beyond a doubt things might be n
great deal worse. James ]. Hill says
boys have greater opportunities now
than when he started out John D.
Rockefeller agrees with him They
both say that boys nowadays are not
satisfied TO take sufficient preliminary
training; that they desire to reap before
they have sown. 1t is quite true that
reward waits on persistent industry
now as it ever did. The young man
who attends to business, who is
prompt, studious and energetic. can
succeed now as he could years ago. and
his opportunities Of winning great sue
cess are even greater than they ever
were But, admitting all this. 1t is still
true that 1t is not an era Of square
deals"
The public service. which has been
.overhauled and protected by stringent
laws for the very purpose Of affording
"a square dear' all around, is not salts
factory. The provisions of the law are
cleverly nullifed. and pull" often pre-
walls over high standing.
But we are progressing. That is the
hopeful sign. There is constantly
growing public sentiment in favor Of
"a square deal" for everybody. When
this has grown to sufficient proportions
the square dear will be afforded. The
seeming duty of newspapers and all
educators is to encourage the growth
of this healthful sentiment until it
shall finally take root everywhere. 1t
will bear great fruit and do more for
this country than great armies and
great navies can ever do.

In Liepslc after years Of successful

mitted herself to the selfish desires OF
the great Napoleon, who, In availing
himself OF her sacrifice, added one

scoundrel of Europe. She bore him
son, who was never legitimatized, but
rose to importance In France. The
present swindler Ia of the legitimate

OPPOSED TO ALL REBATES.
Manufacturers Decline to Approve
Pending Measure

At Atlanta, Ga, yesterday afternoon,
President Parry of the National Manu-
facturars' Association won his fight against
the exercise by the government of the rate
making power when the resolutions COM
mittee refused to report a resolution ap-
proving proposed legislation in that direc-
ton.
An interesting fight on the railroad rate
question has been waged behind closed
doors and in the hotel corridors even since
the manufacturers convention began, and
was not settled until this afternoon.
Both the executive and resolutions COM
mittees held lengthy meetings for the con-
sideration OF the question, in which lead
ing members of the organization supported
the position of President Parry against the
exercise by the government of the rate
making power, as taken by him in his
annual address.
E. B. Pike of New Hampshire. chairman
of the standing committee of the organi-
cation on interstate commerce. led the fight
in behalf of the exercise of the rate-mak-
ing power, presenting lengthy resolutions
to that effect. The resolutions committee
refused to indorse Mr.. Pixies position and
presented a resolution to the convention,
which was unanimously adopted with much
applause, the advocates of the pending
legislation before Congress not pressing
their position in the open convention.
