Roosevelt and the Slaughter in the
Philippines.

We like President Roosevelt be-
cause he seems to be doing all in
his power to relieve the laboring
. ..es Of this country from the
merciiess exact1ons of ' predatory
wealth, but his approval Of the
slaughter Of GOO men, women and
children on one Of the small Phil
ippine islands is nauseating in the
extreme.
1t is just possible that there may
have been some extenuating circum-
stances, but if SO they are not dis
closed by the report of the command
ing officer. The natives were in
trenched in the crater Of an extinct
volcano, so the report says. What
was there to prevent our soldiers
from starving them into submission:
According to the report most OF the
soldiers who were wounded were
hurt by spears, from which it would
seem that our improved, rapid fire
guns were used to decimate body
Of spearsmen. And the women and
children were killed because they
acted as if they wanted to die. And
now there is peace in the Island Of
Jolo, the peace Of death.

Hearst's Democracy.

Mr.. Hearst says: Il am a demo.
crat, but I cannot allow Belmont or
Ryan or any representative of Grim
inal corporations to define democracy
for me. l refuse allegiance to any
democracy that is controlled by cor
porations for the interests of IA
vored class and to the detriment of
the whole citizenship, and | refuse
to sit tamely by while the only choice
offered me as a citizen is vote for
Mr.. Ryan's democrat or Mr.. Nor
gan's republican.
Il believe the patriotic citizens
throughout this country are anxious
to unite for self protection. Every
corrupt and selfish interest has I'M
tied for extortion and oppression"
There is good deal of good sense
in what Mr.. Hearst says 1t is a re-
Election upon the intelligence of the
masses if the Hills and Belmont's q
of the democratic party and tie
Morgans and Rockefellers of the re-
publican party can control the mas

Trolling For Tarpon.

1t is not easy to liook>a tarpon while
trolling, for his mouth is very hard,
sa.s Julian A. Dimock in Country Life
In America. and much skill may doubt
less here be shown. In the playing Of
the fish the work is about the same as in
still fishing save that more care must be
used. as the hook is probably not firmly
imbedded. Anold fisherman told me that
he liked to be sure of his fish and so
preferred still fishing. but to my mind
it is one of the objections to that meth
oil. Another and stronger objection is
the disturbance of my feelings in think
ing that am pulling against II fish's
"in'arls." If the line does break the
chance of the victims being able to
free himself from the hook is problem
atical, While in trolling 1t is the work
of minute after the strain is off the
line until sore mouth is the only
symptom remaining.

Courts and Railroad Rates.

Much is being written about courts
reviewing railway rates. The fixing
of railway rates is an administrative
and not judicial function. The.
only case in which courts can prop
erly intefere is where attack is made
on the legality Of the rate fixed by
the commission.
For instance, Is the law constitu
tional under which the commission
acted? Had the commission juris-
diction, that is, were all requisite
steps taken to give it the right to
act? Finally is the rate con6scatory,
that is, under the guise of fixing q
rate, has p opelty been taken with.
out making due compensation?
Such questions as these are the only
ones that court had any business
to consider.
Business transactions have been
enormously accelerated by modern
inventions, notably by the telegraph,
cable, telephone and steam railways.
On the other hand, judicial proceed
ings are more tedious and expensive
than ever before. The rich and pow
erful can stand delay, but to the
small dealer and manufacturer these
delays mean ruin.
The common people are not in
temper to submit to further being
trifled with. Those who are desir-
GUS of preserving the dignity and
power of the judiciary should see to
it that the rascals who Lave been
robbing the people do not transfer
to the courts the odium that now
rests On them.
The railway rate regulation bill
ought to limit instead Of enlarge
judicial interference.-Des Moines

The Educational Institutions Lobby

Commenting upon the work Of
the educational institutions to pre-
vent the enactment of Legislation to
correct certain abuses and irregular
tiles in their management, the Reg
lister and Leader says: "The in
fluence of the lobby seems to be in
fair way of being tested in the
final disposal of the report of the
committee that has been investi
eating into the management Of the
educational institutions. Certainly
no such lobby has in late years as
sailed the legislature nor has any
campaign to discredit an official in
yestigation ever been carried on SO
systematically. If this committee
can be turned down in this manner
in a Legislature which knows all the
facts, and this movement to bring
order out Of chaos in educational
management, and economy out Of
extravance in the expenditure OF
site money, tie there will be little
use in ever again attempting to in
vestigate state institution which
il the hands of expert lobbyists"
There are good reasons for placing
the State University, the State Nor
NAL School and the Agricultural
College under the supervision Of the
Board Of Control. For the past sew
eral years the Board Of Control has
successfully managed eighteen state
institutions, and while increasing
their usefulness has saved the state
hundreds of thousands of dollars
Business m 'thods should pravail in
our educational institutions, and,
while it may not be advisable to
place them under the same manage
ment as the state institutions, sin
gle board can improve upon the
present management.

Parker Not Beaten Because He Came
From New York

Judge Parker stated in his recent
speech before the Manufacturer
Club at Charlotte, N. G., that the
reason why the democratic party
suffered the worst defeat in its his.
tory in 1904 was because its candi.
date came from the state OF New
York. Justice Samuel Seabury o.
New York denies MIR. Parker's con.
tention, and attributes the party's
overwhelming defeat to the lack o.
character of the candidate and the
character Of his principle supporters
MIR. Seabury hit close to the truth
when he said: Judge Parker was {
wholly negative factor and stood fol
nothing but the office which certain
corporate interests were anxious te
have him hold. The Democratic
party never deserved defeat more
than in 1904 when it permitted the
Cleveland, Belmont and Sheehar
element to nominate such a colorless
candidate"
