rhe Revolt of the straphangers

The street car companies throughout
the land viii do well to give heed to the
revolt of the long suffering straphangers.
From all sections Of the country come re-
ports of the turning of the worm, and a
mighty revolution is undoubtedly Inn
pending. San Francisco has organized
an anti-straphangers union. Atlanta S
city council proposes TO restrict the rail-
roads to the collection of not more than
one cent fare from passengers not pro-
vided with seats. The mayor of Jersey
City fines the company $50 every time a
seat is demanded and not provided.
These be days OF reform Throughout
ali the land. the people are insisting that
the corporations come 10 time and give
the public "a square deal" In truth and
in fact, the Presidents motto has been
widely seized upon, and every day folks
are learning the real ROoscveltian way Of
swinging the big stick for themselves.
The strap is clearly an invention Of the
Old Nick, anyhow. Nowhere in history
does the strap stand forth gloriously or
with other than ignoble association. In
early times it Was the bane Of the slave
existence and the signet Of his serfdom.
II is the one horrible nightmare that
comes 10 plague US In our dreams and
recollecti0ns Of boyhood days. There
ought to come a time in the life of every
man when he can get away from it-clear
out OF its reachi in any shape or form.
Common humanity demands as much,
and no fair-minded person viii for an
instant dispute II.
Down with the strap! An end to strap

CORPORATIONS IN POLITICS.
Their influence and Why They Are
Consulted by Politicians.

RON lae a'tIlT1 News.
PubIc-seryIce corporations are exercis-
ing a veto power in the mayoraIty cam
paign. While they are not attempting
to make mayoralty candidates. they are
being freely consulted as 10 whether a
proposed candidate is agreeable TO them.
II they hesitate in expressing kindly
feeling toward the man. he is dropped.
and the leaders go feeling about for
another candidate who viii be more ac-
Ceptable
Ready hearkening 10 corporation lamen-
tations may be due to several reasons.
Machine politicians have been trained 10
look upon money as the beginning and
the end Of a political campaign. While
the corporations would probably not put
their hands in their pockets as between
candidates acceptable 20 them. they would
it is believed, go 70 great lengths 10 de-
feat an aspirant for office who clashed
with their interests. Politics with them
IS a business. As far as the two parties
are concerned, they have no preference
when 1t comes % making a cash contribu-
ton. Money is spent in order TO put
themselves in y position where they will
be free from adverse legislation.
Ex-Gor. Brown tells a story Of a po-
htical fight in which he was interested.
where a prominent business man and
fnancier. now dead. declared he would
spend 100000 to beat a certain candidate
who was unacceptable to him. His threat
scared politicians SO badly that they
dropped their man like a hot brick. and
took I'D another who was agreeable u
the leader in the financial world While
the campaign was on they went 70 him
for "a contribution. All the persuasive
powers Of the finance conn ittee were
brought into play before ne could be in
duced to give up S1200. Whether the
threat to use 100000 and beggar his chill
dreu, which was coupled with Il, was
merely a bluff" the ex-governor does
not know. If a bluff. he knows that Il
worked admirably. 1t is this spirit on the
part of the corporations that gives them
their power While not willing to CON
tribute largely % aid in the election of a
candidate acceptable to them, provided
ne is opposed by a man with whom they
are willing to take chances, they stand
ready 10 do everything in their power to
knock out an antagOnistic politician

President and Senate.

There have beeu divers suggestions 70 the post
Presidential career q the present occupant Of the
White House. Some have suggested that he 60 to
the United states Senate. The subsequent ITOCeed-
ings would make what Horace Greeley would have
denominatcd mighty interesting reading. Clamp
Clark
There can be no doubt whatever about
the character Of the subsequent proceed
irgs. They would be in the highest de-
gree divertiug and entertaining. But why
wait until the end of his Presidential
term? There is always a seat in the
Senate for the President of the United
States. One Of the rules of that honora-
bic body provides:
When the President OF the United States shall
meet the senate IN The Senate chamber for the
consideration Of executive business, he shall have a
seat on the right Of the Chain
On two occasions in the history of the
country has the President taken part in
the deliberations of the Senate. George
Washington made the precedent, but
quickly dropped the practice, after two
experiences with it. John Quincy Adams
in his diary tells US that when Wash
ingtoH left the Senate chamber he said
il@ NuulQ DC utLlltu II ne ever went
there again" Nor has any President
gone there on executive business from
that day to this. Nevertheless, the right
remains unchanged and unimpaired.
Although the practice has been given
up" says Senator Lodge. in his essay
on the treaty-making power OF the Sen
ate. THE original theory of the trainers
OF the Constitution has never hppu 9baD-
doned. The rule of the Senate. now nearly
a century old. is a full and significant
recognition OF the right Of the President
to consult in person with his consdtu-
udnal advisers
We have sometimes wondered Why
Theodore Roosevelt has never gone TO
the Senate. What fine opportunity such
a visit would afford for an explanation Of
that forthcoming appointment Of an Ohio
negro 10 office, And, then. we always
know just what happens in executive
sessions

Rear Admiral RObley =. Evans, known
TO fame under numerous affectionate
pseudOnyms. such as the Grand Old Man
of the Navy" Fighting Bob, and others
too numerous to mention. has come forth
with something new under the sun along
the line Of pTogressiveness in Uncle Sans
navy. Coming from the source it does.
the suggestion must have respectful at
tention and careful consideration.
Admiral Evans idea is that the United
States government should take unto itself
all the anthracite coal lands in this coun-
try and allow none Of the coal to be
mined except for use in the United States
navy. on the battle ships, the cruisers,
the torpedo boats. and so on.
Save from the mines that flourish be
meath the Stars and Stripes, this especial
grade OF cOal'is not TO be had by any ma
ton. In combustion. anthracite gives
forth comparatively little smoke When
well ablaze, the smoke is barely percepti-
bic. and then only on close inspection.
It is well known to naval authorities
that the greatest difficulty in masking the
movements of a fleet of war ships is the
inevitable cloud Of black smoke that ever
hovers in the wake of the same. This is
because Of the use of bituminous coal. the
latter being used instead of anthracite be
cause Of the fact that it develops "a much
higher speed. The admiral declares that
the discarding of bituminous for anthra-
cite coal would make it possible for a feet
TO hover just beneath the horizon without
being perceptible 20 the wicked and hostile
enemy, whereas now the approach of a
fleet is often discovered long before the
vessels actually appear. and all because OF
this black smoke which comes through
the use of bituminous coal Hence the ad-
mirals Illuminating idea that we should
at once seize upon the anthracite regions
and hold them for our own use.
Meritorious as this suggestion may be
from ii tactical and strategic standpoint
we must confess our utter amazement
that IT comes from Fighting Bob" The
idea OF this battle-scarred warrior advis-
ing the possibility of a fleet lowering be-
meath the horizon when it might be fight
ing! The very suggestion that our navy
play hide and seek. instead OF doing bat
tie valiantly and with reckless abandon,
appals-when enunciated by Evans.
We fear the admiral has fallen upon evil
times, and lends his ear TO more soothing
words than has been his wont. Has he
forgotten the good old days-the brave old
days-when he licked h. out of EN-.
while the CannOns rOaTed and the smoke
poured and all to no restraining purpose
upon the ardor of his enthusiasm Would
lie be content even now, when, forsooth.
his erstwhile martial spirit seems
strangely awry, TO poke about beneath the
horizon with boats that hid themselves
and could not even move swiftly about if,
perchancc. and mhappily they were dis
covered in spite OF all? Perish the
thought, Also out upon it and get it
hence- The admiral is, perhaps. making
game of US and but perpeuates a joke

as Evanses wave and Old Glory proudly
floats Smoke or no smoke. we can HEX

The person of whom the occurrence Is
told in this text is called little Jack Hor-
ner. Ordinarily when a person is spoken
Of as little" Tom. or John. or Jane we
infer that he or she is a youth, perhaps
mere child. Another reason why IT
might be Inferred that Jack Horner was
child is that he is described as putting
his thumb IN his Christmas pie. an action
not ordinarily 10 be expected Of man.
But the exclamation which Jack makes,
what good boy am T." or its counter
part, is equally to be attributed to grown
up Jack Horners. as well as to little OF
young ones.
Jack is made very happy by reason OF
having received a Christmas pie, and has
concluded that It was given TO him be-
| cause he is a good boy. Very few boys
are willing to admit that they are bad
and this feeling is by no means lost when
Jack grows up TO manhood.

Cost I'D the philinnines.

There was considerable hemming and
having in the Senate the other day over
resolution introduced by Mr.. Clay calling
FOR an account of the actual expenditure
for military operations in the Philippines
each year since 1902, and for other in
formation showing what il costs the
United States to maintain its sovereignty
in the islands. what it is likely to cost
in the future, and what progress has
been made in qualifying the Filipinos for
self-government.
It seems strange that anybody should
object to the adoption of a resolution
seeking this information which would be
of value TO those interested in our Philip
pine problem, but Senator Lodge promptly
interposed a motion to refer the resolution
10 the Committee on the Philippines. Of
which he is chairman. Mr.. Lodge in
sisted that the information sought is all
accessible in printed reports, and that il
would be imposing an unnecessary burden
on the War Department TO require the
republication Of it. To this Mr.. Clay re-
piled that it was a very difficult task to
find out from official reports exactly how
much we are spending in the Philippines
and how much more the army and navy
cost by reason of the retention of those
islands. He thought the facts should be
furnished in a compact form for the ben
eft Of the country. We are informed"
Mr. Clay remarked, that we are expeEd-
ing from forty 10 fifty million dollars a
year in the Philippines, and Congress
ought to be informed as to all our eX-
penditures in those islands.
We entirely agree with Mr. Clay's con-
tentlon that the information called for is
necessary, valuable, and ought 10 be
forthcoming. The country is entitled TO
know Just what our Philippine adventure
is costing US. and what it is going TO
cost There should be no dark-iantern
business in our colonial administration.
