lettinu Down the Bars.

The proposition Of President Roose.
welt that railroads be permitted to
make agreements" among themselves
provided these agreements are sane
toned by the interstate commerce com
mission and are published, Is a danger.
Gus letting down Of the bars we have
so lately put up. 1t is true that most
Of the horses in the stable have been
stolen by those corporations, and to
save the rest the law, as interpreted
by the supreme court, prevents all
such agreements. The presidents rec
ommendatlon in regard to this matter
Is so indefinite. however, rs it usual
ly is when undertaking to state any
economic proposition, that congress
may determine there is Il necessity for
having the law modified to meet bust
ness requirements between railroads
at junction points. The great trouble
Is that If railroad corporations are Civ
en- an inch they always take an ell
and to give the interstate commerce
commission the power to sanction
agreements would result in giving il
the right to initiate rates, and that is
going further than congress has so far
appeared to be willing to do. Presi-
dent Roosevelt will have to be more
subject before the people or their repre-
sentatives can judge if his proposition
Is necessary.

Petty GRATING,

The Republican machine that runs
the state of Connecticut must be the
most cOnsummate set Of grafters In
the Union. Governor Woodruff in his
inaugural address delivered before the
two branches of the state legislature
called attention to the big expense to
the state for gratuities, including those
to newspaper men. The item for
knives and fountain pens for members
Of the assembly Of the last legislature
amounted to $15,531 and for repre-
sentatives of the newspapers $5,400. 1t
must be presumed that there was a
big steal in the knife and pen items
and probably in many other things,
and that the graft to the newspaper
men was to act as bride to prevent
exposure. The people Of Connecticut,
with all their Yankee thrift are GER
tainly an easy mark for the grafters.
which shows that eternal vigilance Is
the price Of low taxes.

Ship Subsidy Shaky.

Thanks to the opposition of all Dem
ocrats and some few Republicans, the
ship subsidy bill in the present con-
gress seems ito sleep the sleep that
knows no waking" This Is rather
tough on the steamship trust, which
has financed the Republican campaign
fund, besides expanding more good
money on lobbyists and enlightening
the public Of the extraordinary advan-
tage to the country If 1t became law.
Voters should remember that every Re-
publican senator except Burkett Dolli-
yer, La Toilette and Spooner voted for
the steal or was paired in favor Of
It. and President Roosevelt favored II
in his last message to congress.

One Sided Prosperity,

The Cereal club of Des Moines, Ia,
appears to have played friendly
game every week. with the profits they
fixed out Of the farmers grain as the
stakes. With the low price Of wheat
and the tariff protecting the trusts in
boosting the price Of all the farmers
buy and the Cereal club getting more
than their fair share Of the profits on
grain buying and the railroads charg-
ing all the traffic will bear, prosperity
will soon be one sided in Iowa, and It
won't be on the side of the farmers
either.
