ABOLISH The GAME

The Philadelphia North Aneri-
can says: "The institutions that
are in trouble owe their troubles
not to any incidents or accidents
of legitimate banking, but to gam
bling. The disclosures of the last
few months are not of new-found
evil practices. Wall street assumes
the virtuous pose of being shock
ed by the traction scandal and the
use of chain of banks as an ad-
junct of stock jobbing. These
practices, known now by the pub
lie, have been known .or years by
Wall Street and by well-informed
bankers throughout the country
The cover is off now, or at least
partly lifted. But the malodorous
mess that has long been stewing
beneath is not of new mixing"
In response to which bryan:
Comm oner asks:
"Then why not a concerted move
gent by men of all parties toward
the abolition of this great gam
bling game that traffics in the prop
erty OF the people?"

THE "wHY, OF II

Speaking of the recent order of
the No. P. Railroad Company, TAX
ing off certain passengers on its diff
ferent lines, the Kingman Journal
makes the following pointed OBJ
servations:
"The reason given is that the
train did not pay. 1t was original
ly put on by the road more to get
the mail contracts and pad them up
good and fat, than to be a regular,
accommodating institution, and
having served its purpose it was
taken off. The freight business of
the road is very large-so large
that extras have been running there
as we'll as on the H. & S. The en-
tire income of the line was ample
to make all trains pay, or ought to
have been with that amount oil
business, even if the one or the 9th
er failed to make profit.
SIN Wisconsin, where the Popu
list LaFollette runs things, the rail
road board compels the roads to
run passenger trains wherever the
traffic needs them, whether they
pay or not, if the income of the line
from all sources IS enough to give
it good prcht-just as a grocery
store is compelled by the public to
handle sugar and coffee along with
other goods, even if there is not a
penny of profit on these things.
'But in Kansas, which sends two
railroad senators to congress and
keeps a regular working railroad
lodge in its upper house of the leg.
:slature, the railroads can do about
asithey please. They own the
works. And they will so continue
till the people smash the machine
which runs the party which takes
care of the railroads"
Recently the Kansas board has
seemingly made a move ordering
part of the discontinued trains put
into the service again, but there il
nothing to indicate that the boarc
means business.

JEFF DAVIS OF ARKANSAS

Somebody has "raised Cain" in
the Senate. Somebody has violated
the traditions of that formal body
whose members are usually season
ed through graduation from the
more turbulent House or are tenn
pered by various other influences. -
This somebody" is the new Sena-
tor from Arkansas, Mr.. Jefferson
Davis, who, while making his pri-
mary canvass for the Office he has
made conspicuous in a day, said tc
the chill billies" and "red necks' OF
the Ozarks:
pledge you my word. my fellow citizens
that If you. the most intelligent men of thil
great commonwealth of the greatest nation or
Gods matchless earth, send me to represent
you in the greatest deliberative body that the
sun eyer shone upon, will walk down the
center aisle in my sock feet to the Vice Presi
! dents desk, shake my boots in the Arctic
Fairbankss face, and demand recognition il
the name of you, my fellow citizens The
proposition is whether trusts are good or bad
l say they are bad. and propose to destroy
them.
Mr.. Davis did not literally re.
move his boots and shake them in
the face of the imperturbable Vice
President, but he did the thing fig
uratively. He ruthlessly disregard
ed the traditions of the Senate that
new members may be seen, but must
not be heard. He let go at the
trusts with a yell that must have
made even the most blase conserva-
tives stiffen up and blink with as
constituent. With a dernonstrative
manner that resembled the behav-
ior of a frenzied charioteer, he lash
ed monopoly, oppression, extrava-
gance and money worship with
merciless fury.
Thus early has this militant
apostle of the people of Arkansas
undertaken to make good" with
his constituents. Thus dramatic
ally-even theatrically-has he
launched himself as a new power
In the senatorial forum. And thus
with the courageous consideration
that the confident fighter always
gives his adversary, has he warned
the trusts that he is on their trail
armed to the molars and eager fol
the fray.
But flipPancy aside, let it besaie
with all seriousness, that the Unit
ed States Senate has much nor,
need OF men who are extravagan+
in their clamor for popular right:
than of men who are passive unde
corporate aggression. And perhap.
this august body needs at this tim
just such startling truth teller a

The populist of 1892 who would
have predicted that a republican
president in 1907 would ask con-
greSS in his annual message to
enact laws providing for an income
tax, an inheritance tax and govern
ment banks, would have been mob
bed on the spot. But the Populist
did not agitate in vain. Had there
been no populism the republican
party would be in the same old rut
today. As it is, the most sinful of
them are ashamed to refer to the
g. o. p's. platforms of bygone days.

The Washington Cd. c. Star in
It's issue of December end, printed
this EDITORIAL: "Mr. Bryan's pres.
ence in town at the opening of con-
greSs is entirely appropriate, and
should be a source of inspiration to
every member of his party. AS the
leader Of his party, with another
nomination to the presidency most
strongly foreshadowed, his place is
where the first guns of the great
battle are to be fired. Shells are
to be loaded here, and other ma
terial prepared for the general en-
gagement. Congress will be a busy
body, and it will be strange if the
democracy, although in such small
minority IN both houses, does not
manage to derive advantage from
some of the numerous discussions
and divisions. The opportunities
will be well worth the most care
full watching,and when improbable
the most complete improvement
Here, then, for few days at least,
is the post of importance, and that
post by every right is Mr.. Bryan's.
MIR. Williams can not In reason OBJ
ject, because he is a Bryan man,
should welcome the suggeruons OF
his leader about the larger ques-
tions to come before the session.
Nor, while Mr.. BRYAN is less popu
lar in democratic senatorial circles
than in house circles, is there any
good reason why any democratic
senator should hesitate to receive
and profoundly consider any point:
raised by the man who is, as the
party's leader, vitality interested in
all matters of national Legislative
moment. AT the one end as at the
other of the capital Mr.. Bryan:
party welcome should be of the
warmest. As an adviser Mr.. Brv.
an is one of the frankeSt. Men may
differ about his wisdom, but nc
question as to his directness is open
He means what he says, and those
who confer with him and follow
him are never in doubt about where
he stands. This quality makes fol-
confidence, and is the key to much
OF the influence he exerts."

Still, it might be we'll for Con-
gresham Calderhead of Kansas to
take time for reflection before he
accepts the place on the Ways and
Means Committee, offered him by
Speaker Cannon. Calderhead was
selected over all other Kansas ap-
plicants because of his we'll known
"stand-pat" obstinacy. No other
would suit "Uncle Joe," net even
the merely "ostensible" revisionists
of the delegation. But Calderhead
should remember what happened
to Grosvenor, who was defeated for
denomination last year, and Nc.
Cleary and Babcock, who met dis
aster in the 1906 election. He
should remember that even Dalzell
narrowly escaped defeat in "stand
pat. Pennsylvania-all members
of the "stand pat" Ways and Means
Committee of the last Congress.
And yet, perhaps, it is just as well
that Mr.. Calderhead should go
ahead and accept the place. Even
his refusal to take it would prob
ably not help him in his district at
this late day. Nevertheless,if Cald-
erhead knew anything about what
the people of Kansas desired in the
way of tariff legislation, he would
know that "Uncle Joe" had really
"handed him a lemon. kansas
