sympathy expressed for him. as ii is
believed that he was conscientious in
his business dealings and closed his
bank to give all creditors an equal
chance rather than struggle along for
q time to the disadvantage of some.

A close friend of Stewart says hat
the banker had been assured ore
time ago by A. NJ. Bentley, pres Lent
of the involved Owosso Carriage com

sistance he stood ready to support him
to the extent Of $150O00. One day

SHUT KANSAS JOINTS.

Brewers Easily Do Work that Local

The brewers have ordered joint keep

urbs of Argentine. Armourdale and Rose
dale, to close ANA most of the 200 sa-
looms in those places have respected the
order. What the State and county Off
Gals have not done in years, the brewers
have themselves accomplished within
twenty-four hours time. Most of the
joints are owned by the brewers. The
others can secure no more beer and their
supply is almost exhausted. The city
officials, who levied monthly fines upon
the joints, had said that they were pow
erless to close them and the other day

able or unreasonable, is unwise. What
we need is to have some administrative
body with ample power to forbid com
bination that is hurtful to the public,
and to prevent favOritism to one indi-
| Yidual at the expense Of another.
In other words, we want an admin
istrative body with the power to secure
fair and just treatment as among all
shippers who use the railroads-and all
! shippers have a right to use them We
must not leave the enforcement of such
a law merely to the department of JUS
tice; it is out of the question for the
law department of the government to do
what should be purely administrat tive
work.
The abuses of which we have a genu-
| inc right to complain take many shapes.
| Rebates are not now often given openly,
But they can be given just as effective
| ly in covert form, and private cars, ter
minal tracks, and the like must be
| brought under the control of the commits
| sion or administrative body, which is
| to exercise supervision by the govern
ment.
| But, in my judgment, the most impor-
| tant thing to do is to give to this admin
| istrative body power to make its find
| ings effective, and this can be done only
| by giving it power, when complaint is
made of a given rate as being unjust
or unreasonable, if it finds the complaint
proper, then itself to fix a maximum.
rate which it regards as just and rea-
sonable, this rate to go into effect prac-
tically at once-that is, within a rea-
sonable time-and to stay in effect UNI
less reversed by the courts.
1t must be understood, as a matter
of course, that if this power is granted
it is to be exercised with wisdom and
caution and self-restraint. The inter
state commerce commissioner or other
government official who failed to protect
a railroad that was in the right against
any clamor, no matter how violent, on
the part of the public, would be guilty
of as gross a wrong as if re corruptly
rendered an improper service to the rail
| road at the expense Of the public.
Lashes the Grafters.
In a brief speech at Atlanta Presi-
dent Roosevelt numerically dashed the
grafters in politics and called on de-
cent men to denounce dishonest Off
Gals and whip them into obscurity.
"Drive every dishonest and corrupt
man out of Office" shouted the President
you are false to your trust as Ameri-
can citizens if you allow such a man
to remain in office a single day. No
matter how high the mans standing,
drive him out if he is corrupt"
'"The surest way of bunting the pub
lie conscience in dealing with corrup-
ton is to confuse the public mind as
to who is corrupt and who is not.
SIN our legislative bodies, in our ma
tional Congress, if you know that any
man is corrupt you are not to be excus-
ed if you do not hunt him out of public
life.
'Instead of asking that you be len
lent in your judgment of any public
man, l hold that you are recreant to
your duty if you are lenient. If you
have good reason to believe he is cor
rupt, then refuse under any pleas of
party expediency, under any considera-
ton, from refraining from shifting him
with the sword of the Lord and of
Gideon"
