rural communities, in some cases coun- ties, to say nothing or cities, where not less than fourth or third of their voters dre known to have been open to the approach of the briber. No op- ponent of this system was either too lofty or too lowly to escape defeat, if his protest endangered this privilege
 The system was as ready and as eager to defeat member of Congress in some remote district. as it was to lay low
 for time, a President of the United upon candidate for Governor, whose ability or prominence had made him dangerous.
 Power of States and Cities Added.
 In this progress of privilege, almost imperial in its rapidity and the methods employed. the time came when the op- portunities conferred by the Federal Government were not sufficient to sat nsfy the growing cohorts of monopoly. Then the powers of the State were invoked. Although they could not, to the same extent as the Federal Govern ment, create values by taxation, they could confer powers and authority upon railroads, street railways and cor porate bodies, often organized by an vised for the encouragement and pro- motion of honest enterprise. and they could sanction the combination which Federal eXactions had made desirable to those who would stife home compe- tition. So every State Legislatu be- came first the resort of a lobby. and. when InlS became LOO eSDenSlVe, the method was changed, and the boss came to his own Here, again, not only was the system which had been so effective in Federal politics. relentlessly applied. but it's power was added to the forces already in existence, so that the briber was able to draw upon new resources, from a field greatly widened, and thus to levy blackmail from an enlarged of victims.

It was not long until the holders of those franchises formed alliance with those above them in rank From this new sources. there trickled down added riVulets of hribe money. and other legislative bodies were opened to manipulation by the boss When the vicious circle was complete. the greater so included the less unnt the so-called organization of the Republican party had at it's com mand every capacious and well-flled reservoir of political corruption. with supply pipes draining from them into

JUDGE PARKER SPEAKS TO

 Character of Justice Lamar.
 l may perhaps, be permitted to con- fess that, as young man, I was drawn to an admiration for the manhood of commanding ability, the inspiring elo- quence, and the patriotic public ser vice of the late Justice Lamar. Look ing back over the chequered events of the past forty years, It seems to me that no man has shown in higher de- gree the natience, the insight, the true the unswerving honesty of idea and purpose, that so became one who was at once the educator, the statesman, the Jurist, the citizen, the man, and the Christian. In the work which we, as a people. must do if we are to main tain the heritage of our fathers, we man who knew so we'll how to assert the highest principles, and to stand up for them In the face of ignorance or misunderstanding, or even of strong
 
 ened obloquy. And he has most worthy successors among your leaders of to- day.
 Those of you who. in opinion. consti- tute the majority of the members of these two bodies and myself and all in general agreement with us, must, per force, look at the questions now before the country in our double capacity as Americans and as partisans of certain well-dehned principles We believe that the application of these principles has carried us thus far in our career as a people no less than as a nation, and that every departure from them has been. and is still, fraught either with danger or disaster.
 Principles of Government.
 Nothing can convince us, and nothing should swerve us from our ingrained conviction, that an indefinite extension of the powers of government. either at home or abroad. is neither American nor safe; that the levy of any yyoIIHn' money ey ,,,itbonf fear or favor, or without con ferring undue privileges TpG1 Das6s5 6sGS2}65 }05 nurely public purposes, can be any thing but periloys: or that the failure

can insure proper publicity in business. soo 1o Ieconmehded IT nearly twenty-five years years ago by Grover, Cleveland. Espe- claIiy should the libel laws pc. strength- ehed, by amendment, if necessary. so that publicity shall become a real and not not sham, thing. David B. Hill, when governor or. New York. in 18S6, insist ed in his annual message to the Leg islature that the securities of corpora tlons should represent and reflect real values; investment not prospects; the actual condition of properties. rather than remote, possibilities It was ig- nored then; but 1t is not too late, even now, 10 take his advice.
 At the same time, nothing is more IncumDent upon our people than recog- hilton of the fact that few new enact ments are needed for the correction of these giant evils. A single infraction or the law by a railroad official, uncov- cred and relentlessly punished, through would have been of more real value than many months of agitation for new Ip;,,s,eT powers; For thousands of years our meshes around the criminal until there IS hardly an omence or crime so small, so hidden, or so obscure. that it has punished. What has been lacking, of late, is the disposition to enforce the criminal law against corporate law yio- been corporate political contributions or other service.
 The Danger Oa Generalization.
 III liIneS llKe tneSC, when nothing is easier than generalization. 1t is quite as necessary to avoid the doing of in justice, as 1t is to insist upon the netting out of justice. That 2 few rich men nave either strained the moral law. or broken the criminal law, con stitutes no reason for condemning the majority who, bring.p to the indus trial work of the world great abilities united to lofty character have never consciously done an Illegal or an inn moral act. To do otherwise would condemn man like the late Marshall Field equally with another like James Fisk, and yet. along the line of our Netiye enterprise. in every phase of ac- tivity, where one of the latter is de- veloped, there are al hundred of the former.
 There may be Somewhere one great manufacturing corporation doing an annual business of S16O. .OO0, 900. It may be conducted with a due regard to public interests, or 1t may be grasp ing and oppressive and yet we cannot overlook the fact that, in the single State of Iowa, alone, nearly 5000 sepa- rate individuals, firms. or companies are transactint' eacn year, in the az gregate, the same amount of business

A New NebuIar hypothesis.

The earth is solid, not an eggshell in
folding masses of molten lava, and in
the formative days this universe did
not come into existence through rings
breaking away from cooling and con-
densing mass of inconceivable proper
tons inhabiting space. The solar sys-
tenn developed from vast spiral nebu-
lous mass, which had a number OF
dense nebuli. around which the planets
formed. This is the theory evolved by
Professor Forrest Ray Moulton of the
University of chicago after investiga-
tons that cover period of ten years.
