the position that monopoly may not be
harmful and would give 'the benefit of
the doubt to the corporations instead
of the people," Bryan also makes
much of the fact that Taft, while argu-
ing In support of Inheritance and in
come taxes, concluded by saying he is
not in favor of adopting either of them
now. Taft is charged with coming out
strong for government by injunction,
while saying nothing about arbitration
and direct election of senators. Finally,
Bryan says conservatives may object
to Taft's speech because it admits many
Democratic contentious, but thinks
that no real reformer will find en-
couragement in it.

Senator Platt, as president of the Unit
ed States Express Company, in a circu-
lar to stockholders, shows that the earn
ings and income for the first half of the
present year have fallen of, compared
with the first half of the preceding year.
The net income from all sources for 1907
he estimates at per cent. This state
ment is regarded as an answer to the de-
mands of minority stockholders for di-
vision of surplus and their charge that
the Platt family and their associates have
juggled the books to hide the profits from
owners of stock. The minority faction al
leges that rival companies have been rep
resented on the board and that business
has been diverted to competitors. A for
NAL demand has beer made for reform in
the management OF the company.

Martyr to Experiments.

The death Of DIR. Seneca ID. Powell, a
member Of the faculty of the Post Gradu-
ate Medical School of New York City,
is believed to have been directly due to his
experiments in the cause Of medical sci
ence. In his efforts to demonstrate that
alcohol was an antidote to carbolic acid
the doctor frequently swallowed what
would have been fatal dose Of the poi
son and then took alcohol. Many Of these
experiments were made in the presence
Of classes at the school where he was an
instructor.

tIonal Incorporation OF railroads and
other bodies engaged in interstate com
merce. said Here Is the secret. The
states are annoying the corporations
and the corporations are demanding
federal protection from state legisia-

is most pressing as regards those cor
porations, which, because they are com
mon carriers, exercise a quaslpublic
function. The states have been enact

freight rates, and the railroad mana

DEEP CALLETH UNTO DEEP"

When softly and lightly
The south winds are dancing,
And swiftly end brightly
The sunbeams are glancing,
The blue, dimpling waters scarce sigh In
their sleep,
And the spirit of beauty broods over the
deep!
When angrily, madly,
The north winds are sweeping,
And the storm-elves are gladly
Their wild revols keeping,
The waves cry of woe as like mountains
they sweep,
And death rides abroad on the face Of
the deep!
o, thunderous voices
Rebuking all error,
Ny spirit rejoices
In spite of its terror,
To SEQ the great waves as they clash and
they leap,
And ] listen with awe when deep calls
unto deep!

A FInbby Statesman.

Secretary Taft is protectionist, but
wants tariff revision "after election :"
he wants an inheritance tax, but not
now; he could put up with an income
tax if the Supreme Court will change
it's mind about 1t; he would have the
antitrust law amended so as to pro-
tect the good trusts he believes the
imprisonment of two or three" promi-
nent officers of a railway company or
a trust would have a greater deterrent
effect than millions In a fine, and he
bIames the Republican Congress for
passing the Elkins bill with the full
consent Of the railroads, and the chief
reason for this was the elimination of
the penitentiary penalty for unjust
discrimination" Taking the speech Of
Secretary Taft in its entirety, It Is evil
dent he is aiming to be just radical
enough to step into Roosevelt's shoes,
and get conservative enough to pIacate
the money power and the corporations.
