Of the public. Citizens generally do not
like to be coerced and resent all at

this threat will act as a boomerang; but
perhaps this Is the very thing desired,
as it will give the coal handlers ain ex-

ssary process and itsownbenefcent

necessary process and observation-disclosures
goal" - -. 49, ~. ....E f
1t is necessary to state this argu-
ment in the most favorable light pos
sible, and then to answer it, if there is
an answer. The claim that the concen-
tration of wealth through monopoly is
a necessary process and that the end of
the process will be an advance for civil.
lization directly or indirectly are utl-5
proved assumptions. A course that is
followed even by a: whole people may.
have its origin in arbitrariness. A goal
that is the elimination of a tremendous.
historic effort has often proved a vast
disaster. a &5a5s 3sst'
But supposing that this, is as natural
and inevitable process as, the growth
of the. Roman empire and its goal a
benefit, it is not by the process in which
a man is caught that he is judged, but
by his behavior in the process. There
was never a course of history in which
a man might not work righteousness or
iniquity as he chose. And even If the.
outcome. be a benefit to civilization,
every attainment of humanity keeps as
curses and wretchedness every evil act
of the course which has led to it. 1t
is never the evil which men mingle with
an historic process of development that
assists the development or makes its
goal blessing to men. t't - -, '' ~
The great historic process is the de-
velopment of Righteousness and love in
the world, not the accumulation Of
wealth. If material goods be gained at
the expense of the goods Of character
the result is failure and misery, rotwith-
standing all the external comfort and
culture that may be attained =
But the argument has to be fought
out in every mans soul Whether there
is anything more desirable for a man
than righteousness is the question whose
answer brands him or dignifes him, and
BY that answer his character is saved OF
lost. &. 4 s$9s s, i

Grammar, traffic manager of the New
York Central lines west of Buffalo,

that the government would not be put
in q position where any high railway
official could claim immunity from

than three months old. 1t was upon
this agreement that Senate Mitchell
intended to base his defense that he
had received no money for practice
before the departments, as was ch arged
in the indictment.
Judge Tanners confession was by
far the most sensational feature of the
trials in this state, not even excepting
Mitchell's indictment. Judge Tanner
had been considered man Ct untar.

came as a clap OF thunder from q
clear sky.
In an interview to the Associated

tral railroad, and G. c. Edgar and
Edwin Earle, the latter sugar mer.
chants OF Detroit, charging them with
conspiracy to violate the provisions
OF the Elkins rebating act, punish able

Disastrous Flood In California.

SALTON, Cal July 9.-Confronted
with tinal washout within the next
six weeks by the rapidly advancing
waters OF the Salton sea, the Southern
Pacific company 10 now making every
effort possible to turn the Colorado
river back into its own channel, which
leads into the Gulf of California.
Forty miles Of the company's trans.
continental line is affected. Large
gangs OF men with teams and graders
have been sent to Pilot Knob, to CONF
mence work on canal leading down
through Mexico and ending at the
famous in.talxe.
The work Of checking the flow Of the
intake, where the Colorado river 10
rushing from its old channel into tho
Salton sink has been handicapped by
its Isolation from the railroad.
Machinery and material needed to
construct the dam and head gates had
to be hauled nine miles by wagons or
tioated down the Color ado from Yuma.
1t is proposed to run train loads OF
rock from the quarry near Pilot Knob
and dump them into the intake, thus
constructing the dam which is intended
to check the aow Of the river in it's
mad rush into the Salton sea and to
turn it back to the gulf. The opening
to be closed is over 400 feet wide, and
a dam Of mile in length will be ne.
cessary. with these transportation
facilities. Those in charge of the
work feel confident that they will be
able to avoid another move Of the
Southern Pacific tracks. The time 10
short, however, in which to accomp.
lish this feat, aud efforts will be d.
rected toward it.

Favor Larger Army Posts.

OYSTER BAY. July 7.-Important
steps calculated to III aterially develop
the efficiency OF the army were taken
today by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft At Sycamore Hill. In
his last annual message to congress
the president said the number Of posts
in which the army il kept in time oi
peace should be materially diminished
and the posts that are left made cor.
respondingly larger.
The recommend alton is to be carried
out at once. Seven brigade posts, to
be commanded by brigadier-generals,
are to be established. Two others are
desired, but the funds at the disposa al
of the secretary may not be sufficient
to allow of their equipment during the
present fiscal year. The posts which
the president and Secretary Taft ten.
tatively decided today to enlarge to
briga ade posts are those at Fl. Riley,
Kan: Fl. Leavenworth, Kan; Ft.
Sam Houston, Texas; Fl. Robinson,
Nebraska; Ft. D. a. Russell, Wyo.;
Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. and Fl. Ogle-
thorpe, Ga. 1t is desired to have one
in Pennsylvania and on the Pacific
coast, but these will have to be taken
care of later.
Final action regarding these posts
will be taken week from next Mon.
day, when Secretary Taft will make q
second visit to the president.
