ocratic platform, and enacting them
into laws, it is in fact Populist victo-
ry.
The domination Of collected
wealth is what the people should strive
to control. And when it no longer
sways the power of statesmen, this
republic will blossom forth and be
the most democratic government in
the world. 1t is an old maxim that
monarchies live by honor and repub-
lies by virtue. The more democratic
a republic becomes, the more the
er, the more they need to live, and
the more essential are their respon-
sibilities and sound Judgment.
1t seems probable that there will be
a split in the Republican party, and
if such should happen, then there
would be a glorious opportunity for
Democracy to march into power. Dem
ocrats, Populists, Socialists and many
Republicans want reform, and with
all the reform forces united the en-
emies of good government will be de-
feated. Signs are that the common
people will again come to the rescue
and stand by the men who are for an
administration Of public affairs on the
principles laid down by our fathers.
Let the reform leaders arouse the peo-
pie as did Peter the Hermit, and in
the cause of pure government let
them be united for the common good.
United We win. Divided We fall.

EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW.
BY Blaine Fred Sturqis.

Reviewing the marvellous develop
ment of our country during the last
two generations, the material advance
ment in all arts and sciences of life,
we ask what has been the cause Of
this unexpected growth, this unparal-
leled prosperity. It has not been alone
our favored climate and fertile soil,
not alone our natural resources, not
alone the energy and industry of our
people; but the magnetic force and
marvellous powers of free institutions,
whose chief glory is that every man
is equal before the law, whose price
less benefactiOn is that evry man
has equal opportunity.
Yet Notwithstanding these wonderful
strides of prosperity, universal spirit
Of unrest and discomfort pervades the
atmosphere. There are those who be-
lieve, and rightly perhaps, that the
present trend Of society is to override
the individual and subvert the funda-
mental liberty and equality; that there
is one law for the rich and another
poisoned the body polite of the COM
monwealth Of history. Who does not
see this spirit of unrest that is filing
the land and threatening the founda-
tions of society, who does not feel that
vast changes are impending and that
Indifference and corruption are breed
ing a disrespect for our laws, and who
does not realize that these changes
must be guided by the hands of JUS
tice or the ends of government will
fail?
The American people are facing the
hardest question the modern world
has had to answer. The disposition to
disregard and subvert the principles of
liberty and equality, for which this
. race has striven through centu-
ries, has developed a problem the So
luton of which will put to the most
decisive test the solvency of the the
ories Of popular government. Let us
inquire how the rights of the individu-
al are being threatened and imperil-
ed and how the authentic and justifl-
able ends of government are becoming
but a means for the advancement of
the few at the cost of the many.
The crying evil of our times and the
menacing peril of our free institutions
Is the powerful influence Of ill-gotten
fortunes. Probably in no period Of our
history has the influence of wealth
been more keenly felt than at the
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-06-06


control the finances of the country,
and have come to be the cause of
more political corruption than all other
sources combined. BY it's friendship
and hospitality it has drawn thousands
OF the noted men of the United States
under it's thumb. All the railroads
have to do is to speak the word to
their agents, who have the power and
the means to thwart the will of the
people, when they want a law passed
giving them more privileges. What
is it that railroads and other great
industries cannot do when they unite
their forces to control legislation?
They have united many politicians,
lawyers, and other influential men
so well that they have been the indi-
rect managers of government affairs
for many years. Now it is time for
the people to unite, and fight this
combination Of wealth so courageously
that it will be required to withdraw
in silence, giving us absolute freed
ON in making and enforcing our own
laws.
Take the two great issues before the
public today-the controlling and own
ing Of public utilities. These principles
are Of paramount Importance to the
people, If they can be controlled and
compelled to give reasonable rates and
good service, then it would not be
necessary to own them; but otherwise
government ownership will be necessa-
ry. If this government is unable to
control them or any other enterprise
that exists within it's bounds, then
free government has proven failure
We need more than anything else hon
est men who are independent of party
allegiance to make our laws. There
are in both parties men who enjoy
special privileges and class distinc-
ton, and those who have no regard
for the common good. Corrupt and
incompetent men will not and cannot
administer justice. We need men who
will give us an honest and efficient
administration.
Railroads only do what other organ
izatiOns Of wealth do, and they are
going to continue their course until
they are regulated or controlled by
law; and the common people should
be thankful to both for the courage
they have shown in their utterance in
the face of SO much opposition. Mr.,
Roosevelt does not believe in gov
ernment ownership of railroads, but
thinks that the government should ex-
ercise a supervisory and regulatory
right over them, one preventing injus-
tice to the railroads and the other
preventing their doing injustice to the
people. He thinks the people do not
desire government ownership, and that
it would entail serious difficulties. Mr..
Bryan faVors public ownership and
believes that it is the ultimate solution
Of the railroad question, but adds that
he does not know whether the people
are ready to consider this question.
Mr.. Bryan has been advocating a pro-
lection for the people against cor
porate greed for many years. He
has through undaunted earnestness
and appeals for good government Gre
ated within the hearts of the people
an unfaltering confidence. 1t is evi-
dent that he is not seeking the favors

UNITED FOR THE COMMON GOOD.
BY Howell Brooke.

in 1908? Is it to be a fight between
reform and Bossism, or between the
Democratic party and the Republican
now than HRDLw-het-Feleg
party? Party differences are less now
than they have been at any time since
the administration Of Monroe. All
parties are fighting for reform. Even
the Republican party has come to real
ize that the country needs reform, and
are helping to bring about the most
needed reforms as speedily as they
can consistently do so. The people
demand these reforms, and the Re-
publicans dare not deny them their
demand The country is ripe for re-
formation. The people have endured
the domination of trusts and cor
porations until their endurance has
been exhausted, and now they demand
their rights as citizens Of a free coun-
try. They have less confidence in
the party and are planning to bring
improvement without the aid of the
party. Although the influence of the
party is still great, it has changed it's
nature, yielding to the universal cur
rent which makes for equality. The
people are ready to abandon their
party and unite in the cause of right.
And if they advance toward one be-
lief in the next two years as fast
as they have for the past two there
will be very little party spirit and
practically all will be united in the
interest of just and free government.
The recent exposures of graft, that
lie chiefly in the railroad corporations.
have caused an awakening among the
people, and they are preparing to oust
them, if such thing be possible; and
with the common people united, it
will be possible for them to not only
check the onslaught of these monsters,
but to regulate their gains to a rea-
sOnable degree. And if so desired they
can be owned by the people; for this
should be a government of equal and
free rights to all men. And with
the people united it can be what it's
founders intended it to be.
Was it the will of the senate to
pass the railroad rate bill? It was
introduced by men who represent the
people, and was picked almost feather
less by those who represent the rail
roads, and then it never would have
passed if it had not been SO strongly
favored by the people. 1t gave only
a small proportion Of what is needed.
President Roosevelt receives all the
honor for passing this measure, to
which he is only partially entitled. 1t
would have been impossible for this
bill to have passed without the aid
of the Democratic senator's; there
fore, they deserve some of the praise
which is given to President Roose-
velt.
1t is now evident that the thoughts
of the American people will central
ize, and probably in the presidential
election Of 1908, on the subject as to
whether this is to be a government
by and for the people, or as it is
today, a government by and for the
capitalists; ruled by mammon rather
than by man. 1t seems that the sharp
issue is going to be between govern
ment control and ownership Of rail
roads. This question is one of pure
democracy and should be instilled in
