A STORY OF A square" MAN.

| Lincoln Steffens has written many
good stories" for McClures, exposure
stories that cut like butchers skin
ming knife brutally thru the cover
ing tissue of rascality to nerves that
uuivered and shook from the chill of
any work as well or with such evil
dent enjoyment and capacity as his
exposure of a good mans fight for
Righteousness and square deal for
the slum children of Denver. Stef-
fens fingers over Judge Lindsey and
his work with tenderness that is in
fectious, for in his picture of the lit
tie man who defed party bosses and
municipal grafters in defense of the
|defenseless we see brave and honest men
idealized-if it is possible to idealize
such men as Lindsey. Steffens enjoys
better.
1t is worth the time of everyone to
learn something of the work this man
has done singlehanded and againsrs
odds in the city of Denver and in
Colorado. He is the judge who when
little girls We're arrested for frequent
ing wine rooms" orderel the police to
bring the men who took them there to
the bar of the court with the girls and
when they failed to do so ordered the
saloonists who were responsible for
the wine rooms before him and sent
them to Jail. He it was who organized
the boy gangs of Denver into a more
effective organization for the proven
ton of crime than the police who
bounded them; who when threatened
by party bosses said I'LL fight" and did
fight, exposed and punished corrupt
and thievish ring and forced his nomi-
nation and election by appeal to the
decency of his home city; for whom
the newsboys of Denver tramped the
streets in platoons and companies
shouting:
ben, Ben, Little Ben,
Wish we were men,"
To vote for Ben" until every voter
in the city knew why Ben Lindsey
ought to be judge and saw that he was
judge
1t is good to read of. Ben Lindsey.
and know that such men exist gentle,
strong, lovers of right, haters of
wrong and with the stock motto "rll
fight Every city and state needs a
good fighter for the timid to dress on.
Men as men go stand for the right
thing and the square deal, but they
need point to line up by Such men
as Lindsey furnish the point.

THE FAITH OF THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.

Nothing that any man has said or
of average American citizenship than
his paragraph by William Allen White
at the conclusion of his latest article
in Golfers. 1t says what the average
citizen is saying, expresses what he
believes 1t is the faith which is the
saving of the world:
And in so much as we have grown
wiser will our political devices make
us kinder. And in so much as we
have grown kinder and more thought
full of one another's rights that the
political institutions We are franz
ing make us happy Amid so, al
though the clash and strife and bitter
ness, of our recent politics seems mis-
erably sordid; and although the days
work in public affairs, even in the
greatest affairs as well as in the
mean affairs of the country
town, may appear futile and
without direction, it is all moving to-
ward some end, which has a purpose
in the righteousness of the world-and
we may know that the progress of the
world since men quit their caves had
been ordered so. However small and
petty and notwithstanding it may be,
some divine purpose is pushing this
struggling blind humanity on Chance
may play in the transverse movements
of the food. Evil may seem to win
just before 1t sinks; liars may rise
and thrive; thieves may f1aunt them
selves; honest men may go down UNI
honored. Righteousness may seem to
faint, and justice may seem to falter.
But it is only seeming. For under
meath are the everlasting arms.

What, after al, is the ultimate of
corporation meanness? Stealing pencils
from the blind and taking candy from
babies, was, even yesterday, consid
cred to be about as far as monopoly
would care to go; but the limit was
not yet. Today the adulteration octu-
pus has reached little further into
the home and graft has entered the
bird cage. The bird-seed trust Is, as
shown by chemical analysis violating
the pure food laws. A million song
sters from Maine to Mexico upraise a
chirp of awakening class
which proclaims the canary new
factor in national politics. His song
Is no longer a culver of pure joy,
careless burble of domestic wellbeing.
He has entered the ranks of the dis
contented, and his throat swells with
passion of protest. Picture the pre-
dicament of the whole blessed family!

cried,
"or rather tough seed in your little

With twist of his poor little neck he
replied:
"Adulteration!"
The hand that robs the cradle fools
the bird cage. Just as there is nothing
too great for business dishonesty to
throttle, so there is nothing too small
for that industrious monster to despoll.
The mill of the graft grinds slowly, but
it grinds exceedingly small.

reconciled to the statewide primary.
The Mt. Vernon Record SAYS "A
legalized primary will be passed by the
next legislature, il it does the will of
the people. Notice, we say 'legalized. ;
That is to distinguish it from the pres
ent primary systems in Iowa, which
are not legalized. A legalzed primary
will prevent a member of one party
from voting with another party under
penalty. 1t should go further, and all
low no one to vote at a party primary
unless he will declare. under oath, that
he voted for the head of the ticket at
the first general election. That will
effectually prevent influencing the
floating voter, by money or otherwise.
The caucuses and primaries, last sum-
mer, effectually proved the necessity
of some such law
So long as a few men In each COM
munity are able to say who shall be
candidates before the people and who
snail not, so long will we have men
who are not the real choice of the vot-
ers, declares the Grand junction
Globe, 1T appears TO us that a proper
ly prepared primary law would come
nearer to putting the choice of men
into the hands of the voters than any
system that has so far been presented.
The present convention system is
merely system of trading and does
not in many cases represent the wishes
of the majority of the voters within
the party"
The Scranton Journal advises that
The man that gets In the way of the
passage of We'll regulated state wide
