10 the mere politician the
American people may at times ap-
pear to be asleep on important
public questions. but when this
condition exists it is safe to say
that, instead of being indifferent,
they arc then ever studying pend

self believe that the question of .na-

is not next to the heart of the Deo-

home guards and militia a pension.
This is as it should be, as if it had
not been for the provisional troops

seceded; but by the prompt calling
out Of home troops she was saved

the extending of the glad hand

state since 1895. The day was a
proud occasion for Missouri Re

The President insists on the
right of the government to make
freight rates and it is not improb-
able that Congress may pass a bill
enabling the government to eyer-
else such supervision over freight
traffic. There is involved in this
proposition the principle Of social
ism, and socialism as il should
properly be understood, is based
upon the theory that the rights ol
the people are paramount to indi-
vidua! or corporate interests. Ter
years ago President taking the
stand that Mr.. Roosevelt now oc
cupies on this question would hav.
been denounced as radical ex
trcmlst, bordering on revolution
A decade is long enough to work
a yrea, change III public thought
in these days of rapid social evolu
ton, aud what we today hold i:
visionary g decade or two hence
will be practical realism. Sc
the idea that public veal mus
eventually dominate over private
greed and rapacity is not far from
general acceptance. If the Ameri
can people have the right to regu
late any corporation, transporting
banking, insurance or otherwise
they have the right to regulate ano
control all the diversified Interest,"
which go to make up the socia

Senator Mitchell missed it by not
getting a sinecure with some life in
surance company, like the $2O.OO0-a-
year do-nothing job that Senator
Chauncey Depew of New York has held
with the Equitable for many years.
Although Depew has worked many
CRAFTS on the 100000 900 surplus fund
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, he has done nothing for which
he is criminally liable. His colleague,
Thomas Platt, the republican boss of
New York, is president of the United
States Express Company, and there is
no doubt that he has often used his
position as United States senator to
promote the interests of his company.
But Plat is too sharp to be caught in
the meshes of the law Sena tor
Mitchell used poor judgment in choos
ing mis- line of graft. He should have
consulted Plat and Depew.

The Kurds and Armenians, whose
many folklore stories and tales Of su-

boot at the idea Of its being a witness

earth will no more undergo the ordeal
Of food and declare that it was made
for the express purpose Of letting the
first man and woman down from
heaven, the man securely fastened to

rainbows, which will cross at the
zenith, furnishing eight passageways

urging the determination of all cats

they are the worst existing enemy of

the poor creatures to suffer from ap-
