In addition to the other violations of
the law which the Standard Oil is per-
petrating daily is that of smuggling
twenty cases of this piratical business
having been ferreted out at Bayonne, N.
j., in every instance the vessels employed
in the traffic belonging to the Standard
Oil company. The rich and powerful
have nothing to fear for violations of
law, as the piratical career of the STAN
dard Oil concern goes to prove. United
States Senator Mitchell, lately convicted
of completely in the Oregon land frauds,
is comparatively poor and proved an easy
victim of government prosecution, yet
his illegal gettings are but mere pit
lance as compared to the millions which
the Rockefeller gang of immune thieves
have defrauded the people of by vio-
lations of the antitrust laws.

rhe temperance question is plaving

leading part in the Ohio campaign, and
the contest for Governor next fall, be-
tween the present incumbent. Herrick,

The issue is on prohibition and licensing
of saloons. The anti-saloon element has
joined hands with the democrats. The
republicans passed local option bill at
the last Legislature. known as the Bran
mock law, giving the right to townships
and Counties to vote on the prohibition
question. The extremists desire to abol-
ish the saloon, but the republicans re-
fuse this, hence the bitter campaign be-

Safety VS.. Dollars.

In this land of freedom the railroads
run with about as much regard for safety
as they choose. the national government
taking no part and the state government
being frequently controlled by the road.
Why is not the block system of signals
everywhere in vogue? Because it costs
money, and the absence of it only costs
lives. Why are cheap finder cars allowed
everywhere-or anywhere? Corporations
and money interests generally in this
country are pretty leniently treated by
the law. The amount a mans life is
worth is often less than what he can re-
cover for being injured. The amount a
steamship company can be mulcted for
an accident due to cowardice or negli-
gence of its own, as in the Bourgone and
General Slocum cases, seems to be limit
ed by the amount of property saved in
the accident. Positive favors of the law,
however, have less to do with the un-
explained danger of travel by land in
America than its negative influence-the
fact that it has so little to say in regard
to methods and appliances for safety.
Regarding water travel, where the govern
ment takes more part. the danger is less
in inadequacy of the laws than in what
may be described as Indifference or as the
ease with which inspectors are corrupt

After one hundred and five days of
struggle and disorganization of business
the teamsters strike in Chicago was
called off on July 20, and resulted vir-
tually in an overwhelming defeat for the
teamsters' union. In addition to the
strike failing it has resulted in revelations
of graft and blackmail practiced by one
Driscoll who styled himself labor
commissioner and whose function it
was to prevent strikes for the concerns
that employed him. 1t is charged he
connived with labor leaders to foment
strikes in order that they might be
settled through the influence of himself
and. his associates, the firms threatened
being compelled to pay a stipulated sum
for the purpose of having the impending
difficulty adjusted.

The Saturday Evening Post compares
thel dangers of railroad travel in this
country and England, and suggests cure
for accidents in the following: "There
are several reasons why our railroads kill
and main thousands each year, while
English railroad travelling is as safe as
sitting at home. But the fundamental
reason is that our courts, especially our
judges, regard railroad smash-up as an
accident" whereas the English courts
regard it as deliberate and criminal care
lessness always. If your arm is broken
or your thumb smashed in railroad
accident" of any kind in England you
get damages which an American judge,
thinking always of vested rights" would
set aside as scandalously excessive.
But is not the English practice both
juster and wiser? Does not the result
the absence of "accident"-prove it?
Our officials and our public, are most
respectful of "vested rights"-a whole
some spirit of conservatism. But do we
carry our respect too far when we respect
those rights more than those possessing
them? Does not man show the most
reckless disregard of his own rights-a
disregard that should be sharply rebuked
when he mounts them and rides them
roughshod over the rights of others
The cure for accidents" is invariable

writes: "For several months, 1 was
given up to die. 1 had fever and
ague, my nerves were wrecked; I

This week the taxpayers of Cecil
County are brought face to face with the
realization that it is condition and not
theory that confronts them, as they are
called upon to pay tax which is stag
gering to most of them. With nothing
to warrant it they are compelled to pay
$r.43H on the $Ioo, for which they fully
realize they have not value received.
Two years ago they were told that go
cents was too high county tax aud if a
new deal was made and the republicans
put in control of the county finances
that better services would be rendered
and lower tax rate given. The new
deal was made and the promises have
not been made good. On the other hand
prohigate extravaganza has resulted and
instead of the much lauded reform board
making good through the wise manage
ment of the powers of the local G. o. P.
the taxpayers are called upon to make
up portion of largely increased defc-
iency. A portion only, as the present
rate of $I.2o, which was as high as the
derelect board dared place it, will not be
sufficient to wipe out the increased in
debtednsss. The ten per cent raise which
the present board made last year was
sufficient TO wipe out the Indebtedness at
that time had it been used for the pur-
pose for which it was made. Instead oil
its being used for its professed purpose il
has gone where the woodbine twineth
and the original debt, plus an additional
deficit nearly as large, now coufronts the
deluded and wrothy taxpayer.
The Whig's attempted sophistry that
one democrat on the board of County
Commissioners was the cause of thi:
shameful state of affairs is ridiculous in
the extreme. Two intelligent member.
who attend to their sworn duty and guard
the best interests of the county are in &
position at all times to disburse the fund:
as they choose and whether they spend
the money thoughtlessly or at the dictate.

Wisconsin's anti-railroad pass law has
caused lot of kicking among the corpora
ton favorites in that State, several OF
whom have resigned their offices rather
than give up the privilege they enjoy of
riding free on the railroads. The railway
pass has probably done as much to cor
rupt American public life as any one
instrumentality. 1t is not so palpable
and gross form of bribery as money,
and many public men have accepted
passes who would have turned away in
dignant and angry if they had been Offer
ed the equivalent in cash.

Agitation of Municipal Ownership


Plans on great scale to collect accur-
ate data concerning municipal ownership
in both Europe and America have been
made by the Executive Council of the
National Civic Federation.
This body has selected a commission
numbering about seventy-fve members,
and including some of Americas best
known lawyers, scholars and business
men, to meet early this fall, and deter
mine upon methods for accomplishing
this work. The need for such data is
stated to exist in the contradictory and
unsatisfactory information now available
concerning the operation of public util-
tiles. The subjects on which the commits
sion will seek information are stated I'M
der six heads: wages, hours and condi-
tions of labor; collective bargaining, cost
and character of service, political condi-
tons. civil service, spoils system and
municipal corruption; financial results

cipal ownership to Mayor Dunno, and
examining into the condition of affairs in
that city, found them so different from
those of his own city as to be quite dis
couraging to him. But now expert No.
? is coming to the United States from
Glasgow in the person of Robert Craw-
ford, formerly Town Councillor of the
Scotch municipality. Mr.. Crawford will
come to this country at his own expense
and will demonstrate his ideas not only to
Chicago, but to other cities which desire
his views. In letter Mr.. Crawford says:
81 am of the opinion that big war is
impending in your country over the vast
question of principles, aud as always
have seen clearly and felt intensely on
this subject would like TO strike America
at the rising of the wave and to do my
best to send it triumphantly forward,
have the most absolute confidence in the
power of the American people to realize
themselves and to rise to great effort as
soon as they see that the thing ought to
be taken in hand.
II am an ardent believer in that phase
of socialism called municipalization, and
always have been intensely interested in
the growth and development of the capac-
ity and desire of people of one commu-
nifty to combine and organize themselves
for communal ends. So long as the aim
ofcivic government is clean, the tone high,
the ideal lofty and the object is to foster
and create better conditions of life from
every citizen, high or low, rich or poor
apart from all sectional or political inter-
ests-then l hold that the control and
extension of municipal enterprises of all
kinds is a blessing and always will be
successful. Toward this end civil reform
ers in the States must work"

The Connecticut Legislature at its
recent session passed Corrupt Practices
Act which is stringent measure. The
act provides for detailed publication OF
expenditures of all political agents and
treasurers as well as of candidates; it
adapts to Connecticut statutes the most
effective provisions by which an election
may be declared void by the courts after
investigation and evidence of fraud. In
those cases where, as in elections for
membership in Congress or the Legis-
lature, the court cannot constitutionally
decide whether candidate has been
validity chosen, the act requires the
court to find the facts and lay the evil
dence as judicially determined before the
Governor. If it is State officer who is
found guilty, the Governor can then de-
clare the place vacant; if it is National
office holder, then the Governor is to
place the evidence before the proper
body, for instance, the Judiciary Com
mittee of Congress. The act provides
legal means for making these provisions
effectual. Heretofore the States At.
torneys have not had power to initiate
proceedings. this power being confded to
grand jurors. The new law places it in
the hands of the States ATTORNEYS. The
nominally defeated candidate, who here
tofore has had no chance. may now
bring charges, which if proven. will
force his opponent to forfeit his Office to
him. and be ineligible for any office for
four years afterward. Such law as
this will-go far toward eliminating cor.
ruptiou in elections and is needed as
badly in Maryland as it is in Connecticut.

Soft Feed For Hena.

Many breeders believe that soft food that Is, crushed grains or paste-is more easily and completely digested by the birds and that 1t produces more tender flesh. says American Agricul- turist Tn reviewing experiments in this line Helen W. Atwater in a farm CTS bulletin of the United States de partment of agriculture says in ex- perlments made at the New York state station chickens. laying hens and ca pons all produced better results with ground than with unground grain. Ac- cording to test at the Canada ex- perimental farms, chickens fed a ground grain ration were when dress cd per cent heavier, were bumper. slightly yellower and of better appear ance than chickens fed a similar ration of unground grains. When cooked the flesh of the birds fed the ground grain was regarded as juicier, owing evident ly to a marked. though not excessive, disposition of fat in the tissues.
