Twenty-Five years ago there were no
railroad tariffs Every railroad manager
get what he could out of each customer
The maxim current among railroad man
ayers themselves was TO charge what
ever the traffic would bear" But that
was simply a rule for getting the maxi
mum rate. They also wanted the maxis
mum volume OF traffic. and to get that
they would make any sort OF concession
that might be necessary. Each shipment
was matter OF bargaining.
So far the Standard Oil was accustomed
years ago to drive sharp bargains with
the railroads that often forced competing
oil concerns out OF business, II was no
worse than other shrewdTy managed ship
Ders. But II is credbly asserted that
the Standard oil continued its practice
OF extorting concessions from the rail-
roads after the community began to make
laws on the subject, and many Of its con-
tracts with the railroads seem Injurious
not only 20 the Standard serivals, but 10
the railroads shareholders, for which
reason there is some curiosity to know
how the Standard managed to get such
large favors, and the Commissioner of
Corporations charges the Standard with
low and underhand methods OF iniuring
the business OF its rivals. These things
account for the keen interest with which

are or had been allied with corporations were
eliminated from politics. many able men
would be tossed from the political ship. Indeed,
a very large number of the successful men of the
day-that is, men achieving what the world
terms success-have been and necessarily must
be concerned in corporations.
The cry against corporations came when cor
porations-usually public service corporations
began TO mix their business with politics and
gradually sought, because of their strength to
control politics and to dominate legislatures and
congresses. These men seemed TO believe that
the government was made for the corporations,
and that the individual man in business or pro-
fesson entitled to little consideration. There
many corporations, however which do not
mix their business in politics or seek favors from
legislative bodies. These corporations obey the
laws and desire to be let alone.
We do not see, therefore, why Mr.. Taft should
resign from corporations unless they are of the
character that brings them into intimate touch
with the government so that they can
profit through such intimacy All corporations
should not be judged by the Standard Oil Com
pany whose activity in politics has been one of
the crying evils of the country.

senatorships as Rewards.

Chicago Record Herald
The United States Senate never will get
back to what it once was nor be all that
II should be until. for one thing, mem-
bership in that body is regarded as some
thing more than reward for service to
a party machine. Evidence is overwhelm-
ing that senators whose seats have been
the reward for financial contributions or
personal machine work do not add luster

most august legislative body in the
world"
Fhauncey Depew, in serious moment,
has animadvertcd on the righteous few
who get into the game after the rabbit

chance for the practical politicians" who
have worked for the organization to re-

In mind the succession to his colleague,

fact that the Empire State is finding it,

The political reiuvenation OF New Yorl
Is gratifying to the entire country The
machine bosses seem TO be the only ones
without ability to appreciate the far
reaching principles that forced the re
nomination and reelection OF Governor
Hughes. Their rebuke at the hands1of thu

CHURCHES AND LABOR.

HE churches are beginning to pay more at
u tention to problems of capital and labor.
During the recent political campaign number of
clergymcn, not many. TO be sure, formed Social
list organization and actively supported the candi-
dacy of Debs. Most of the religious denomina-
tions have committees or departments of labor,
and the church is doing something to take the
sting out of the criticisms made by leaders in the
labor movement that the religious bodies are in
different TO the aspirations of the masses.
Recently the labor problem was discussed from
many pulpits in Chicago. There also a huge
mass meeting of ministers and laymen and labor
leaders. The chief speaker was Rev. Charles
Stelzle. head of the department of church and
labor of the Presbyterian Church. He pleaded
for an more active cooperation between the
churches and the forces of labor that it was
the duty of the church to stir up social unrest in
that better things would come out Of such unrest
Then he asked why the labor leaders did not give
the church a fair deal as only in Christian civili-
zation do the labor leaders have an opportunity
to work for the betterment OF their fellows.

MR.. CHARLES P. TAFT AS SENATOR.

TT is announced that Mr.. Charles P. Taft a
- brother of the president-eect. and his chief
financial hacker during the campaign, is to resign
from the various Cincinnati corporations with
which he has been connected. His resignation is
assumed by the political wiseacres to mean that
he will become active aspirant for the senator
ia seat from Ohio which is now held by Mr. For
aker. Preliminary training for senator it is held
must consist in Mr.. Tafts withdrawal from cor
porations.
This attitude is carrying the corporation-politi-
cal question to the extreme. Only few wears
ago, II man in politics was concerned in a cor
poration that fact was not thought to be to his
disadvantage Instead. such connections were re-
garded with favor by many because it was be-
eved that man with such affiliations must have
reasonable amount of money to spend for po-
ltical purposes.
The fact that man is connected with corpo-
ration should not necessarily dcbar him from po-
litical honors IL does not follow that Mr. Taft
Would be an undesirable senator simply because
OF his corporation affiliations. II all the men who
