The Idaho "Emancipators."

The political socialists OF this country
seem determined to put themselves before
the people in bad light. Yesterday a
convention of them was held at Trenton.
n. j.. for the purpose of nominating a
state ticket. Had the work ended at this
point there would have been no ground
for criticism. But the delegates went fur
Their and sent a telegram to Meyer and
Haywood. the men who are accused OF
completely in the assassination of eX-Gov.
Steunenberg of Idaho, assuring them that
in the future they will be rated with Lin
coin, John Brown and Karl Marx as eman-
cipators.
Before the killing of Steunenberg the
country was scarcely aware of the exist
ence of such men as Meyer and Haywood.
Their names had appeared in print occa-
sionaly in connection with labor troubles
in the west. but they had done nothing
conspicuous and they were in no way likely
to become prominent. When Steunenberg
was killed and the suspicion formed
that the crime had been instigated by the
leaders of the organization of miners,
Meyer and Haywood were introduced to
the public as men accused of a crime.
If these men are innocent of the con-
spiracy to kill Steunenberg they have done
body would ever have dreamed of linking
their names with that Of the great war
President in any connection II they had
remained in the semi-obscurity of their
former lives. Their main accomplishments
up to that time had consisted in the inau-
guratlon of two wasteful labor wars. both
of which had ended to the disadvantage of
their organization The thought Is in
evitable that the New Jersey socialists have
hailed them as great emancipators. not
because of their past performances, but be-
cause OF the belief that they were in some
manner or measure implicated in the con-
spiracy which led to the death Of the for
mer governor of Idaho.
A jury is now being secured to ascertain
the truth of this charge in the case of
Haywood. That jury will supposedly be
competent to determine the issue. Mean
while such declarations as that of the New
Jersey socialists, as well of the men
who have marched beneath banners de-
claring that the Idaho defendants must be
set free whether guilty or innocent, will go
far to prejudice the minds of the people
unfavorably to them and their supporters.

Georgia changed There was no recanta-
ton by the silver men Of their financial
views. nor by Mr.. Smith of his. but the
railroad question became paramount, and
on that question Mr.. Smith not only took
the popular side. but offered for governor
as its leading representative. His candI-
dacy appealed to the cracker democracy;
and when he effectively introduced the race
question as side issue and urged the dis
Reimbursement of the blacks, he swept the
state in the primaries, and made show"
OF his opponents.
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Bryan are as far
apart as ever as to silver, but in agree
ment as to the necessity of making and
keeping the railroads subordinate to the
public interests rather than the public In
terests subordinate to the railroads. Mr..
Smith has not as yet subscribed to govern
ment ownership. but without that Is most
unacceptable to Wall street. Doubtless he
and Mr.. Bryan love each other for the
enemies they have made in circles domi-
mated by railroad Influences.

Mr.. Roosevelt Conservative.

The Presidents Indianap polls speech proves
on full reading to have been just the sort
of talk TO rcassure Wall street, which it is
said to have done when advance copies
of it circulated through the great money
canyon the other day. 1t is temperate
utterance. conservative to a degree which
the country perhaps was not expecting
from the prepayment of the railroad regu-
1ation laws. The President, indeed calls
q check the tendency to carry to eX-
tremes the business of restricting the great
transportation corporations. He dispar-
ages the idea that the physical valuation
of the railroad properties will be a panacea
for all the existing evils. He undertakes
TO correct the impression that the railroad
corporations are all managed regardless of
the rules of honesty and fair dealing. There
are. in short. according to the President
good roads and bad roads, just as he has
previously differentiated between the good
and the bad trusts.
One of the most direct statements of this
speech is that which declares the plain in
advisabilty for the government to under
take TO direct the physical operation of
the railways. This draws the line sharply
between the extremists of the government
ownership school, who would have the
transportation business taken over bodily
by the federal administration, and a sys-
tenn Of effective regulation through federal
Statutes, supplemented by state enactments.
There will be some curiosity to see whether
Mr.. Bryan will take issue with the Presi-
dent on this score. Indeed, he has perhaps
already given an Indication of his view of
this point in the publication in the current
issue of the Commoner relative to the max
ing of candidates and Presidents in which
the Nebraskan says:
THE third-term issue would of itself rule
the President out. and, while he has in
dorsed several democratic measures. he
has not carried these as far the demo-
Gratis would have carried them and has in
dorsed only a portion of the democratic
platform"
1t may be that Mr.. Roosevelt feels that
the time has come to set the brakes. It
as undenlable that he has started In mo-
ton the wheel of reform in vigorous fash
lon. and judging from the number of two
cent rate laws passed by the state legisla-
lures during the winter and spring, he has
been followed in this example in a whole
sale manner That real anxiety regarding
the future is felt in some quarters is plainly
apparent. That some of the apparent
anxiety is fictitious manufactured for trad
Ing and speculative purposes. is also evil
dent. There is nothing in Mr. Roosevelt
indianapolis speech to discourage the ad-
vocates of sensible corporation regulation
or to alarm the corporation interests them
selves. 1t is a wise, broad utterance which
should have a wholesome effect In stem
ming the current OF impetuous legislation
and clamor.

Speeches That Leak.
From the New York Evening Post.

Why all this pother should be made abou.
the leak of the Presidents speech today
we do not understand. There appears, to
be sure, to have been a rather amusing
carelessness of a magazine friend, who
boasts that he Is near the throne" in
letting some copies get out prematurely;
but, after ALL the tremendous secret was
not much of secret. Mr.. Roosevelt is
one of the most practical" of living au-
collaboration and criticism. Hence the sub
stance of his Indianapolis address was well
known in advance to many. He had tried
it on more than one dog. His views have,
therefore, been common property for sew
eral days. 1t is gravely alleged that they
caused the rise in the market yesterday.
But as they were just as we'll known on
Monday, the inference is equally clear that
they must have caused that days slump.
Such are the perplexities inseparable from
a leaked presidential speech.

today Is a coherent line of partisan poll
cies and compact organization of the peo-
pie into ranks. The duma is at present
composed of numerous small groups. finely
shading off from extreme radicalism, just
removed from absolute terrorism, to the
most pronounced supporters of the re-
dictionary policies of the government. The
foreigner cannot hope fully to comprehend
these divisions into groups and subparties.
Only through combinations can any dis
tinct policy be established declared with
significant force. 1t is impossible to pre-
dict what will happen in any emergency,
owing to the tendency of these groups to
coalesce suddenly or to fly apart as quickly.
Party formation Is always a slow task
and requires the exercise of the wisest
leadership on all sides. The story of the
French revolution is a succession of party
records. group merging into group and the
dominating force changing character from
month to month. In Russia thus far there
has undoubtedly been advantage in the lack
of conference between the more radical ele-
ments of the opposition. This circumstance
has checked the disposition toward eXtrem-
ism which. If permitted to run free. might
ere now have plunged the empire into
bloody strife. But it was hoped that the
second duma would begin to show signs of
possessing a coherent power In the direc-.
ton of modernism. 1t is on the middle
plane that Russia is to be saved from its
present dilemma. Neither severe reaction
nor ruthless radicalism can solve the prob
lens that exist today. The London con-
ference has contributed nothing to the sit
uation for good. but has merely added an
other element of discord, the government
making matters even worse by its short
sighted order of virtual exile, which cannot
check the radical tendency, but will only
increase the bitterness of the peasantry.

Standards New Nova

The latest enterprise of the Standard Oil
Company TO be reported is a movement to
gain complete control of the tar. turpentine
and rosin business of the country, which Is
said to amount to about 500 900. 900 an
nually There is already a "turpentine
trust" 1t was not to be expected that any
specific line of business like that of milking
the pine trees would go to this day with
out being syndicated. But this particular
trust would come pretty close to falling
under the definition of goodness which
is supposed TO differentIate the CONNER
cial sheep from the goats. 1t buys its tur-
pentine and rOsin from the small farmers
OF the south, and so gives ;Sem an assured
market for their products. 1t is perhaps
as convenient a method for the owners of
little forests of pines to turn their pitch
into cash any other. The proposition
OF the Standard Oil Company, however, &C
cordng to the current report, is not merely
TO absorb, by squeezure or purchase, the
existing turpentine trust. but to buy up all
the available pitch pine lands In the south.
and 50 control the market from the source.
Already il is stated that huge tracts of
pine lands have been quietly secured. bit BY

few weeks before all of the available pitch
pine in the south has passed into the en-

accomplished Standard Oil will have con-

Rats.
From the New York Times.

The efforts of the present administration
at Washington to find out Who's Who in
the animal world may lead to an organized
campaign that will be extremely rough on
rats. A thrill of horror has been felt by
the country at large at the exposure made
by the United States biological survey in
it's official bulletin of the appalling deprav-
ity of what the experts call Our most
destructive rodent" Mankind has carried
on for ages kind of running warfare with
rats, but it remained for the biological
bureau at Washington to open the eyes of a
careless world to what may well be called
the brown peril.
