No persistent seeker Of the presidency
except Van Buren, and Buchanan, ever
attained that Office; and these two were
comparative failures after they attained
1t. Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Cass,
Douglass, Seward, Chase, Blame, and
Sherman were all unable to reach the
goal Of their ambition. Under the
system OF party government availability
is the cole test OF strength; and it go
happens that few brilliant men are avail
able. Such men always make powerful
enemies.
One Of the astonishing features OF our
prescott industrial system Ii the growth
and persistency OF vagrancy. Recent
statistics show that during the years
l0Ol-l9Oj, there were 23.9Gl trespassers
killed by the railroads Of the country,
and that 1925 more were injured; near
ly all Of them being tramps. The tramp
question has become n national problem.
But hos shall it be dealt with? Tramps
and trusts hive been bred in such numb
ers Of late years that they seem to have
the same origin and very much the
same nature. They rep where they
have not sown and flourish in the same
jungle created by unjust legislation. To
reform the tariff would be in a large
measure 10 reform the trusts md the
tramps.
