After a trial that has been marked

with theft from the person, went to

According to Edison, sleep Is a
habit. Mebbe so. Anyway, civic
sleep and industrial sleep is habit.
The Texas town with a weed grown
square, an idle population, lounging
young men and lingering mossbacks
is right in the grip of the sleep habit.
It's the sort Of sleep habit that quar-
antines against brisk business, the
factory pay roll, opportunities for the
young; pulls down the blinds against
the white light of twentieth century

Tariff Hocus Pocus.

One of the best arguments against
any tariff bill ever made was that of
Senator Beveridge in his reply to Sen
ator Newlands, on January 5, 1908.
Mr.. Beveridge declared that congress-
could not of itself find out the facts
and make the classifications necessary
as a condition precedent to framing a
just tariff bill (See record, page 1850.
Yet the peoples representatives alone
are authorized to frame such a bill.
If they cannot frame a just tariff bill,
why should they frame any at all?

qualities of the iron and steel schedule,
the wool schedule, the cotton textile
schedule, the wood schedule, the pot
terry schedule, and two or three others
which do all the real damage, then pop
ular government is a failure. indeed.
This Beveridge bill is a snare and a
delusiOn. 1t was conceived in sin and
born in iniquity. It's object is to allow
the trusts to continue to charge our
own people not only the difference
between the price of any article
abroad and the price at home, but to
sell steel rails and other. products
from 20 to so per cent. cheaper abroad
than at home. 1t will not fool anybody
outside of Indiana, however. 1t Is too
Falstaffian-too gross and palpable a
fallacy.

As to Publicity.

II will be remembered that at one
time President Roosevelt was all for
publicity as a cure for the plumber
ing of corporations. Congress gave
him the means and the power to carry
out his ideas, but for some unexplained
reason after obtaining from the bureau
of corporations exhaustive reports on
many of the trusts the president has
not taken the public into his conf
dence by publishing what has been dis
covered. Representative Mccall of
Massachusetts, an honest and old-fash-
toned Republican, thinks publicity de-
sirable and gives Tom Lawson and the
magazine writer's credit for what they
have done in that direction. He criti-
cises President Roosevelt for doing
things he has done and leaving undone
what he should have done, when late
ly interviewed on present conditions by
saying: Il am one of those who doubt
whether the world is any happier, Or is
likely to be any better, in consequence

sxnrlent has lately been doing"

Why Congressman Criticised Pinchot

knowledge before the public of the
work that they are doing. The trou-
bic was that the men who prepared
the reports did not know anything
about the popular side Of the questions
discussed, and as a result the news
papers to whom the reports were sent
did not use them to any great ex-
tent.
Now in several departments Of the
government there are trained men
whose business it is to take the gov
eminent reports, and while preserving
scrupulously every fact contained
therein to present the prepared mat
ter SO that the newspapers will use
it and the peope will read it. The
forest service and geological survey
have a press service of this kind.
The reason that congressman are
hearing from their constituents is not
because the congressman are criti-
cised, because no line Of criticism
does or could appear in the matter

teresting the people and of inducing
them through their interest to write
letters in support Of measures before
