Mr.. Brandt, very pertinently, discusses the mat
ter of investigations of alleged evils, and the
sty of conducting them by who cannot be swayed
from duty, and who will refuse to apply the white
wash brush. The domination of the political boss
and the cnslavement of men by the power of the
financial despots is treated as follows;
"Sincc the rise of the political boss and the per-
fccting of the partisan machine, officials who enjoy
the confidence of the public have been placed largely
at the mercy of the boss and the great interests which

Henry Watterson, who is unyielding pillar in
the structure of old,fashoned newspaperdom, who
prefers the stage coach method of presenting the
news rather than the railway methods of the current
STYLE and who is bitter opponent of what he terms
"maddog" journalism, has the following to say con-
corning proposed paper for New York:
ALBERT Pulitzer, inventor of the yellow journal.
ISM, announces that he intends to establish in the
fall New York daily, which shall be as wide de-
parture from the journalism of today as was his
Journal twenty-four years ago. There is no ex
cuse, in his opinion, for getting out paper that is
like Others; his is to be entirely different from any
paper published at present If it is possible to for
give Mr.. Pulitzer for turning loose the yellow mon
ster upon meek and innocent public, it will be
worth WHILE as matter of journalistic curiosity to
wait to see what this new affair is to be ike-or
unlike. 1t requires pretty resourcefu mind to de-
wise newspaper freak differing from the menagere

Recently the President sent a message to Con
gress dealing with the report of Commissioner Gar
held on the conduct of the Standard Oil Company,
and while in itself the message was interesting to the
public yet the most notable feature in connection
with its being was that the officials of the Standard
Oil Company are credited with having knowledge of
ITS contents twentyfour hours before it was trans
mitted to Congress-.
This leak in the Executive Office gave the "Sys-
tenn chance to turn trick in Wall Street that
caused loss of millions, turning the money into the

incidentally, some of Mr.. Rogers friends were

enter Wall Street become active heads of great
corporations. Sometimes in the sudden turn of the
wheel they find themselves in close place where
their business life is at stake and at this critical
moment one of the great master-spirits of Wall
Street comes to their aid and thus lays strong
claim upon them for future recognition of kindness
that saved the threatened ones from ruin.
Again, the great business interests, publicser-
vice corporations the trusts, monopolcs and banks
are all nextricaby bound together. Their interests
not only overlap and ntertwne, but the criminal rich
in certain great and lawless trusts and corporations
have reached point where their word is law in
many places where their influence is little dreamed
of by the public. And lastly none know better than
the prominent men in the financial and business world
what it means to seriously antagonze the Standard
Oil Company or the Hartman, Morgan and Ryan in.
terests. He who stands for oldtme honesty and
justice when such stand threatens the great domi-
mating influences in Wall Street, courts business de-
structiOn.
"And thus it is that the mastcr.spirits of Wall
Street no less than the criminal rich who systemat
ically corrupt the peoples servants and DEFY laws
enacted to protect the public from the rapacty of
.-e great commercial brigands, feel little dread of
housekeeping committees composed of members of
the corporations under fire. 1t is important to bear
in mind these facts they explain and illustrate
many things that have been perplexing the general
public and are very germane to the subject under
