tribute at least to his capacity as an or
ganizef.
Mr.. Hearst still has his pocketbook,
and Is still liberal spender in the further
ance Of his political ambition. But now he
represents more than that. He and those
in his pay have formulated a policy and
are pushing 1t. Not al of his followers
are mercenary. Some are simply diScon-
tented. and having read his newspapers and
listened to his speeches have come to be-
Neve in the man. They look to him for
relief from tho Ills Of which they are COM
planning.
While Mr.. Bryan indorses Mr.. Hearst, and
Mr.. Hearst has twice supported Mr.. Bryan.
they differ In their appeals to the people.
Mr.. Bryan's strength Is principally with the
farmers, who. although highly prosperous
as compared With their condition ten years
ago. still flock to his meetings In large num-
bers, and on election day guide by his ad-
vice. Mr.. Hearst, on the other hand finds
his followers in the cities, principally
among the wage-earners. Had he done as
well in the country districts as In the towns
and cities, he would have been elected
governor Of New York. He II stilf coddling

heye, for use In 1908 In his own behalf

Hearst.

Mr. Hearst is taking a rest. and SO are
his press agents. Nothing about his polit-
ical future has appeared in the newspapers
for several days.
His exit from the scene Of his recent ac-
tivity was rapid. while his deliverances as
he travelled toward the Mexican border were
contradictory. Upon leaving New York he
simply confessed defeat and said goodbye.
From St. Louis two stories went out: one
that in Mr.. Hearst's opinion Mr.. Bryan was
a dead duck. and the other that Mr.. Hearst
himself would not again offer for Office.
The first story was promptly denied. while
the second lived several days. But when he
reached Texas Mr.. Hearst seemed to recon-
slider his st. Louis determination; and then
It was announced that IL there was a call
at any time for him to take the lead again

Grafton.
There is going to be another call. His fol-
lowers will see to that. 1t is in the nature
Of things. Originally Mr.. Hearst was all
pocketbook. He represented nothing but an
ambition for Office and a willingness to pay
fancy prices for boomers. BY that means
he mustered quite a number; and while the
figure he cut at st. Louis two years ago
was small in comparison with that of
Judge Parker. it was remarkable when
everything was considered. That SO young
a man, with nothing but money behind him,
should be able to command any votes at all

Open the Doors.

Pursuing the traditional policy of rail-
road corporations. the Southern railway Is
conducting its investigation of the recent
wreck on its line which cost the life Of its
president, behind closed doors. In this 1t is
acting entirely within its legal rights, but 1t
may be questioned whether this Is a wise
plan. A full and open inquiry into the facts
connected with the disaster would go far
toward restoring public confidence and
would moreover throw light for the benefit
of the people upon a subject which has
heretofore been shrouded in mystery.
One of the most frequent complaints Of
the public in connection with railroad acci-
dents is that the subsequent proceedings Of
investigation and trial are not sufficiently
published. Immediately after collision
there is a great hue and cry to find the re-
sponsible person. Occasionally a coroner's
inquest is held. Very rarely do court pro-
cesses follow, and less often even does the
company take the people into its confidence
with reference to the disposition of the case
within the corporations own lines.
A suspicion prevails generally throughout
the country that railroad officials are prone
to conceal the facts relating to disasters
and to cover up the fundamental faults Of
organization which lie at the bottom Of
subordinates are often forced to bear the
brunt of the blame, serving as scapegoats
for higher officials whose own neglect Of
the operating conditions has given rise to
decentralization or permitted the continu-
ance of inefficient men in responsible places.
The Southern has an exceptional opportu-
good faith in this inquiry by opening the
doors and allowing the public to know just
how far the horror south of Lynchburg was
due to the blunders of the operator at
Rangoon or at Lawyers, or the failure Of
mechanical equipment, or the fault of the
brakeman, or the lack of efficient supervis-
ion over all these matters Of operation. The
fact that the state railroad commission is
preparing to conduct an official investiga-
tfon Of the wreck does not affect the moral
responsibility now resting upon the South
ern to go thoroughly into the matter In the
open. While it is known that the state law
lacks punitive provisions and whatever the
may do will be merely in the
way of disclosing the facts, there would
seem to be a premium upon frankness of
procedure on the part of the corporation,
and its course in holding its own inquiry
behind closed doors Is calculated only to
whet public interest in the later quest for
the truth.
There should be no conflict of interests in
such matter. 1t is as vitality important to
the railroad company to find and cure the
essential evil as 1t is to the public, and
the surest way to restore confidence In its
system of management and operation Is to
take the people into its confidence at the
beginning. The public Is virtually partner
in all transportation enterprises and Is en-
titled to know the manner in which 1t 10
being served and the reason why the service
rendered it Is dangerously Inadequate.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-12-06

the foreign market tn emergencies. The pro-
posaIs to this end are various Against
some OF them serious objections have been
raised. The Secretary inclines strongly to
the view that the time has come for action
and the establishment of a currency system
which will prevent sudden stringencies.
The urgent need Of some such reform Is
apparent when the condition of the treasury
is viewed as an Indication Of tbs national
activities in the field of business. The total
debt of the United States Is 1925, 15e, $50.
having been reduced by $l4.OO0.000 in Eve
years. 1t could be reduced at a much more
rapid rate, but there is no desire that this
be done. Rather are the securities repre-
senting this debt a necessary element In the
maintenance Of currency system which
supplements the issues Of the government
itself. OF the total debt only $293. SIT. $40 Is
in the hands Of the people, the rest being
absorbed by the national banks for their
currency issuing purposes. A curtailrnent OF
the debt would chiefly affect the banks Of
issue and would in turn deplete the supply
of money in circulation.
Such a showing Is at once source Of
pleasure and a warning. An indefinite con-
tinuation of good times at the present rate
of prosperity cannot reasonably be expect
ed. Hard times will probably come sooner
or later. Crops will not always be large,
and investments will not always be profita-
ble and confidence may some day be seri-
ously shaken. When all these things hap
pen together panic conditions are rife. II
panic occurs with an insufficient national
currency the effect is disastrous. Now Is
the time to remedy the potential evil, when
everything is on the boom and the means
for reform are at hand.
