It's only week or two ago we were
advising President Roosevelt to take a
rest by prolonged sea trip, with even
the wireless telegraph cut out. Now
comes Congressman H. Kirk Porter, Of
Pittsburg, seconding the motion and
pointedly adding that he thought "the
White House should not be made poll
teal headquarters. Mr.. Porter. a
business man as well as a Republican
felt constrained to tell the President
he was nervous from overwork. but
this opinion was presented, although
presented in the kindiiest way and
even in an apologetic tone. But the
President comhated the opinion that
he was in need of recuperation, still
he agreed that he would leave earlier
than usual for the restful quiet of Oys-
ter Bay.

Railroad Regulation.

Virginia is the latest state to regu-
late railroad passenger rates. The
state corporation commission has de-
creed that a maximum rate of two
cents a mile be established on all the
large railroads operating in the State
and on the less important roads from %
to IS cents mile, according to their
net earnings. In relation to the reduc-
ton Of freight rates the commission
holds that the railroads should operate
under a uniform classification, as for
the time being, at least, it considers
the matter of freight facilities is
superior in Importance to the matter of
freight rates. This conservative
action by the Democratic State of Vir-
ginia shows that the Democratic party
may be relied upon to protect the
people and at the same time be just
and fair to the corporations.

High Prices Produce Business De-
preston.

That too much prosperity is often the
ruin of individuals is an unfortunate
truth, but that too much prosperity
will breed business depression is not so
we'll known. Yet from Chicago, few
uays ago.. comes the announcement
that the Western Electric Company has
recently dropped 5000 out of 25, 900
men from its pay rolls. Not hard
times, not the expected approach of
hard times, but too much prosperity, ."
was assigned by President E. M. Bar
ton as the cause of the company's
action. THE high prices for copper.
steel and lead metals, which we use
very largely, make construction, of
plants in which our apparatus is used
very much more expensive than at any
time for twenty four years, he said.
"Our customers, then, have to face the
probability that plant put in at the
present rate of cost could be duplicated
within a few years at greatly reduced
Oulldy. IIS ulIIlcuIIX,
therefore, is too much prosperity. -
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Copmany, is one Of the largest
customers of the above named corpora
ton and is refusing to make any extern
sion of its lines in consequence of the
high price of materials.
AS copper, steel and lead are all con-
trolled by trusts of which the copper
trust is virtual monopoly and the
steel and lead trusts are enormously
protected by the tariff and are thus
free from foreign competition, it is evil
dent that tariff protection to trusts can
dispense business depression in place of
that prosperity of which, the standpat-
tiers claim, it should be the universal
distributor.
1t must begin to look, even to our
Republican friends, that too much pro-
lection to trusts is defeating its own
needs.

Perpetuating Political Power.

The interference of Federal officials
in the selection of delegates to national
conventions has always been denounced
and fer some years, until the present
time, has been kept somewhat within
| BOUNDS. We now see, however, not
only the utmost activity by many
United States Marshals and Attorneys,
Internal Revenue Collectors, Postmas-
tiers and likewise the host of minor
officials taking an active part in poll
tics, but also the dismissal from office
OF those who are not known to be faith
full to the political fortunes of the
dominant Republican faction. To over
come the activity of the Fairbanks,
Foraker and Cannon followers in the
various States, especially in the South,
the Administration has gone so far as
to send high officials from Washington
to adlnonish the officeholderS that their
official heads Will fail into the execu-
TONER'S basket, before the end Of the
year, if they are found allied with the
"conspirators. Mr.. Hitchcock, First
Assistant Postmaster General, VINO has
just returned to Washington from such
trip, is stated to have had, "a long
conference at the White House before
he vent away on such mission.
Heretofore the President has held
very strong views on the participation
of Federal Office holders in politics
while engaged in their official duties,
but under the exigency of the factional
fights within the Republican ranks,
such Civil Service Reform notions
have been thrown to the winds and
In place thereof an era of practical
politics has been installed. In New
York and Ohio, which appear to be
centers Of Republican political disturb
ance, some lukewarm federal office
holders have already walked the
plank and others more subservient
have been appointed in their place. 1t
is said that the President is even urg-
ing Secretary Taft to leave the multi
tudinous duties of the War Department
and undertake speech-making and
handshaking tour of Ohio to head eff

Those Republicans who believe that
Mr.. Roosevelt is the only present savior
of the country should watch their local
federal officials and promptly report to
the White House by wire or otherwise,
any signs OF dereliction on their part
from faithful service to the, Roosevelt
faction. Democrats who believe that
such pernicious activity on the part of
federal office-holders leads to the per-
petuatioh OF the party in power, should
call the attention of their Republican
neighbOrs to the merits of true civil
service reform and urge them to aid in.

Unpleasant Light On Dark Sub
ieCt.

The investigation of the Hartman
railroads has been going on for some
years by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and of course President
Roosevelt was informed of all the
stock jobbing. stock-watering and other
corrupt transactions. During that
time my dear Hartman" was a con-
slant visitor at the White House, he
was the invited guest at the marriage
of the Presidents daughter, he con-
stantly received letters from the Presi-
dent on political matters and was, he
said, invited to contribute and collect
money from other corporation mag
mates FOR use in the presidential cam
paign. Now President Roosevelt de-
clares that Mr.. Hartman is an unde-
sirable citizen because a private letter
of his has been published which expos
ed this political and personal intimacy
between him and the President. But
was not the same Hartman and his do
ings known to the President as we'll be-
fore as after that letter was published?
That is the unpleasant light that the
Hartman exposure leaves the occupant
of the White House in and no linking
Hartman with Meyer and Haywood,
who are innocent until proved guilty,
can change the circumstances in each
case.
