SUNDAY. OCTOBER 10, 1907,
STATE AND FEDERAL POWER
OVER RAILROADS.

According TO inside information.
some newspapers claim TO possess.
while the members OF the state rail-
road commissions were In annual SEES
sion in Washington there was very
general condemnation, in private con-
Sersation. OF the Roosevelt program
for extending beyond It's present linn
its federal control over railroads and
other corporations. but they refused
TO or failed TO pass, contrary to pre-
d!c;ions, set OF resolutions CRITICS
ing the administration for its agrees
sive attitude toward the railroad COM
panies in the manner of its enforce
meut of the interstate commerce law.
The nearest they came in official ac-
ton to any criticism OF or reflection
on my policies was in the adoption
OF report on amending the Hepburn
law, the preamble to which recites the
"amicable relations" that have always
existed between the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the members
of the various state commissions, and
then goes on to say:
There seems. however, to be dis
position among some, not members OF
the commission, to limit the powers
OF the State commissioners and CEN
tralize the power In the national COM
mission The committee doubts the
wisdom OF this and the expedicncy OF
imiting the states In the exercise OF
such powers rs can be more rightfully
and effectually exercised by state au-
thority."
Some not members of the commits.
sion" nnquestionably refers to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his followers. This
protest against their program Is not
particularly sharp or spirited, but 1t
possesses significance as an express
sion OF opinion by body of State
officials against any infringement on
sion of opinion by n body of state
ment in the matter of railroad regS
ation. The resolution will not appeal
as bully thing to President Roose
velt--wlll not send joy to his heart

the country. Too long II has been the
custom of the people to, allow few
men In each community to run the
policies of the community, while the
people themselves devoted their time
and attention TO their private affairs.
There have been SOME sensational de-
velopments in Kentucky, aud especial
~ In Louisville, of political conditions
growing out OF this neglect by the
people OF what should be the business
of every man. Neglect OF the duties
of citizenship of so many has cost
dearly, not only Louisville, but many
other cities as well.
The situation in Louisville Is Illus
trative of the situation almost all over
the country. The people are awake
to Their rights and to their duties us
well as to their wrongs. Since the
last presidential election there have
been some astounding developments
of corruption in public affairs. These
developments have been brought oDout
through the arousing of the people to
what is required of them in their re-
lations 10 goyermnent--local state.
and national. There was never time
In the history Of the country when
there was such general awakening
of the people-such quIckening of
the public conscience. That Is what
the great increase in Louisville means.
That is what the same sort of thing
all over the country means.
The people are kecnly alive to their
own interests. and are placing them
selves in position to secure and pro-
tect them.

PEOPLE MUCH INTERESTED
THESE DAYS,

The people of the United States are
certainly very wide awake and attenu-
ing to their own business. There is
evidence OF this on every hand. For
illustration, the papers yesterday con-
tanned news item from Louisville,
KY, telling OF the remarkable increase
in the registration of voters in That
city. Heretofore the vote of that city
has been from $4,000 to $4,000 in con
tests where the people were aroused,
running down to n much smaller figure
for off year elections. This year there
were paced on the registration books
the names of $4,000 voters. The fact
called forth comment and the lead
ers of both parties claimed credit for
the enormous increase and asserted
that 1t showed the strength OF their
respective parties. but further in.
yestigation has proved that neither
party nor the leaders can rlghtfully
claim the credit nor does the increase
indicate the growth of either.
There is-no. special cause for sur
prise at the increase, but there IL
cause for congratulation. The news
from louisville is one OF the good
signs Of the times, and is illustrative
Of the conditions that prevail ell owe,

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON LABOR
UNIONS

Labor has Its sacred rights as we'll
as It's dignity. Paramount among the
rights OF the laboring classes Is their
privilege to organize. or to form them.
slves into societies for their mutual
protection and benefit. II Is In accord
ance with natural right that those who
nave one common interest should unite
together for it's promotion. writes
Cardinal Gibbons in the October Put
nam's Monthly.
Throughout the United States and
Great Britain there Is today a con
unuous network of syndicates and
trusts. of companies and partnership s..
so that every operation from the CON
struction of n leviathan steamship to
the manufacture of needle Is con.
trolled by corporation. When cor
porations thus combine, 1t is quite
patural that mechanics and laborers
should follow their example 1t would
be as unjust to deny the workingmen
tho right to band together, because OF
the abuses incident to such combna-
tons as to withhold the same right
from capitalists. because they some
times unwarrantnbly seek to crush or
absorb weaker rivals.
God forbid that the prerogatives
which I am maintaining for the wor6-
Ing classes should be construed as i'm
plying the slightest invasion of the
RIGHTS and autonomy OF employers.
There should not, and need not, be
any conflict between capital and labor.
since both are necessary for the pub
lie good. and one depends on the CO
operation of the other. A contest Ee-
tween the employer and the employed
is rs unreasonable and as hurtful to
the social body as war between the
head and hands would be to the physi-
cal body.
Whoever strives to improve the
friendly relations between the proprie-
tors and the labor unions, by suggest
| ing the most efiectual means of d.
diminishing ana even removing the
causes of discomfort. Is benefactor
TO the community. With this sole end
| in view venture to touch this most
delicate subject. Sand If these lines
