THE EXTRA BUN.

Ode udder kid got more buns n me and
got more sugar on his buns.' This was the
plea of little crippled Morris Walsh fourteen
years old, charged with malicious mischief,
contrary to the peace and dignity of the State,
as per the statute in such case made and pro-
vided. His mother had sent him to the bakery.
Another boy had entered on buns intent and
received more for his money. Argument and
remonstrance proved futile; Morris was eject
ed, with the bakers dog in hot pursuit. Later
a wrecked window testified to the accuracy Of
Morris escapade and the little tragedy Of
Probably neither Morris nor his parents have
read the titles, much less digested the con-
tents, of any of the philosophical treatises
which learnedly discuss social unrest and the
causes thereof. The reader Of newspapers will
glance through few lines Of type that record
Morris escapade and the little tragedy Of
childhood will be forgotten. Vital problems
press for solution.

THE PEOPLE AND POLITICS.

A leading organ Of one Of the large parties,
published in the city where the national con-
vention of the Peoples party was held, says
editorially: cit might be we'll for the people
of Oklahoma to pay less attention to politics
and more to alfalfa" In answer to that
gratitous bit of advice representatives of the
people from thirty states assembled in St.
Louis and made themselves heard on public
questions and public policies. 1t might per-
haps, have been better if there had been more
unanimity of opinion on some Of the
matters passed upon, and more positive
evidence Of cohesiveness of opinions in
the different sections; but it can be
at least said of the Populist convention
that it's work was not of the machine-made or
der, nor were the speeches and votes of the
delegates the utterances Of mere puppets,
whose mouths opened and eyes blinked at the
pulling of strings or the touching Of springs
by self-constituted party bosses. In that re-
spect, at least, the national convention of the
Populists differs from some of the national
conventions that have figured in history The

THE HEARST LEAGUE.

The manifest weakness of the Independence
League, as exhibited this spring in Chicago
and last fall in New York, is easy enough to
understand. The League has been discovered
to be under the control of one man in whose
integrity Of purpose the masses, from whom
votes must come have lost confidence This is
at any rate the explanation of the wreck Of the
League in Chicago AS democratic move
ment within the Democratic party, the indie
pendence League would have had great
strength, and possibilities of splendid tri-
umph, which Mr. Hearst would have shared in
spite of the disagreeable personal "boosting"
his papers do for him. Had the League been
disinterestedly devoted to securing control Of
the Democratic party and making it truly dem
ocratic, it would today doubtless control dem
ocratic politics in Chicago and be we'll on the
way to controlling the party in this and other
States. But the League appears to be only
personal agency Of Mr.. Hearst, to whose aims
every larger consideration is subordinated.
Mayor Dunno election and administration in
Chicago, for instance meant nothing to Mr..
Hearst and his immediate heutenants but an
other rung in the ladder to the qualification of
his own ambitions It was nothing to them
except as it might help, regardless of the inter
ests Of the people Of Chicago, in getting ma
tional delegates for Hearst" Through
multiplication Of indications Of this character,
for which the Independence League has become
responsible in the public mind, that organiza-
ton is now negligible factor in Chicago poll
tics. Similar considerations dating farther
back burden it in San Francisco, and later
ones in New York. 1t is consequently rea-
sonabe inference that long before the Presi-
Dental vote is counted next November, the In
dependence League will consist principally Of
Mr.. Hearst's personal representatives, if in
deed it should then have even a nominal exist
ence-The Public.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-07-09

may have differed widely in their views, and
in thus differing may have even weakened the
cause for the furtherance Of which they met
the cause Of the people against the inter
ests. But who shall say that there shall not
come strength out Of this very weakness?
In this national convention, and in the state
and local convention Of men and women who
have grown restless under the existing politi-
cal rule, in and out of Office, is seen the re-
Spouse of the people to such utterances as
that quoted from the great party organ The
people-the great mass of the common people
everywhere to keep out of politics, 50
far as getting into politics means taking an
interest and lifting voice in public affairs
The day is rapidly passing, if it has not al
ready passed, when the affairs Of this country
to be controlled by handful of men
A hundred different agencies, not the least
among which is The Woman's National Daily,
have brought the people at every crossroads
neighborhood in such close connection with
public affairs and the men who figure promi-
nently in them that it is impossible for the
people to longer listen to such advice as that
given by the party organic "pay less at
tention to politics and more to alfalfa. -
The people are paying attention to their al
falfa, all right, and they are paying atten-
ton to other grasses and growing things, not
only in Oklahoma, but in every state in the
Union; but they are also paying attention to
tOher things and that attention is an intelli-
gent attention that is bound to bring good re-
rults. The farmers of the land, the working
men and women all over the country, the vast
multitude who, as the figures show, produce
$40 in results every day they work, and are
allowed to consume only So, are no longer to
be driven like sheep to the SHAMELESS nor will
they bindly follow any old political wether
simply because the tinkling Of the party bell
is heard The people may deem it best to act
within old party lines in some sections, and
in others they may think it best to go be-
yond those lines; but whichever their course,
they are no longer to be dashed into line by
such commands as that to "pay less attention
to politics and more to alfalfa. Woman IS

National and State governments are strug
CLING to put an end to railroad rebates. The
Interstate Commerce act prohibits unfair dis
crlm1natlon and the courts are trying to find
out what discrimination is unfair. Political
platforms proclaim Especial privileges for
none" Why? Is it fair that the other fell
low should get that extra bun with all that
sugar thereon?
A protective tariff enables domestic manu-
facturers to charge American citizens prices
far in excess Of those charged in Europe.
That extra bun goes elsewhere A municipal
ity presents a franchise to railroad COM
pany. The public's savings go for some Of the
watered stock but a good slice goes to the pro-
moter and the unloader Of intangible assets.
Who gets the bun? The consumer pays an en-
HANGED price for his meat, the cattleman re-
ceives less The investor cannot understand
why his stock rises and falls at the bidding of
the manipulation Where do the buns go?
The baker can hire counsel. Crippled Nor
ris will have to rely upon the courts mercy.
The trust retains eminent legal luminaries.
The people are represented by prosecuting Of
fcers and their assistants, whose average sala-
1ies are around $4,000. Those twin brothers
law and equity uphold the baker in his conten-
ton that the sacred right Of property has
been infringed. There are constitutional pro-
visions against taking private property,
against impairing the obligations of contracts
and against determination, which are found
very useful in other prosecutions, not in the
Children Court
But Morris knows not of all this. Only one
question troubles him, but it troubles millions
Of others as we'll: Why should the other b.
get an extra bun New York World.

THE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING,

The agitation for early Christmas
shopping is not new, but it is being
hammered little harder than usual
this year, and the merchants say it
mas done some good These far seeing
individuals who have tried the plan
OF completing their Christmas pur-
chases before the stores are crowded
and the assortments are all picked
over, and at time when the clerks
have time TO assist the purchaser In
making the selections, do not need
to be told that it pays to shop early.
There is another side OF the oues-
ton. too. that should appeal to any
one who ever stops to give thought
to the comfort of others. BY making
at least a part OF the Christmas pur.
chases before the real holiday rush
begins, great burden will be remoy-
ed from the shoulders Of the clerks.
The days preceding Christmas are
heart-breakers for the employees in
the retail stores. most of them girls,
and the stain they undergo in those
few days leaves them little strength
or inclination to enjoy the Christmas
cheer
Why not try it this year,
