Corporation Power is Broken

In thoughtful and inielligently
constructed article, a correspondent
of the Washington Post argues
that the interests-thc powers con
trolling the great financial accumu-
latlons. corporations and traffic
systems of the country-are likely
to be solid against Mr.. Taft and in
favor Of Mr.. Bryan. This CORE
spondent maintains that Taft is
pledged to execute the Roosevelt
policies and that those policies are
antagonistic to the interests and
thoroughly hated and feared by
them. Mr.. Taft with republican
senate, and probably republican
house, would be capable of work
ing havoc among the interests and
probably would do so. On the
other hand, Mr.. Bryan's recent
tendenciesare toward conservatism.
He Is reacting from radicalism,
while there is danger that Mr.. Taft
may become more radical as his
efforts to bring about reforms and
changes are obstructed. Mr..
Bryan has been known at his worst
and Is becoming better, from the
standpoint of interest, while Mr..
Taft has been known at his best
and is becoming worse.
The senate, the correspondent
goes on to show, will be republican
almost surely duringthe whole term
of the next president. Therefore,
Mr.. Bryan as president, even if he
had democratic house of repre-
sentatives, would be prevented
from doing anything extreme,
rash or seriously injurious. This
suggests an indication that Wall
Street and the money powers are
beginning to get some glimmering
Of the real constitution and organi-
cation of our government. In the
frantic fears Of Mr.. Roosevelt and
the dire predictions of the over
whelming disaster he would force
on the country with which they
precipitated a panic they forgot or
Ignored the existence of two houses
of congress, the judiciary system
and the supreme court of the
United States.
The truth is the interests are be-
tween the devil and the deep blue
sea, with Taft representing Roose-
welt on one side and Bryan on the
other. For them there is no help
in sight. Their power is broken,
however the election may go. We
doubt if they will take very serious
interest or active part in the cam
palgn for either side. A course of
inactiOn would be wisest for them.
They will weaken any side they
openly support. Their wise
course is to adjust themselves to
conditions. to realize that they will
be made to obey the law. to live
and act fairly, to do business on
business principles. Richmond

IF we were content TO take our opin-

the paper that soothes our shattered
nerves at breakfast time, we might
too rashly conclude that woman has
ar inherent liking, IL not an actual
preference, for the conventional scoun-
drel.
But, before arguing thus from the
particular TO the general. and allowing
the sum of our knowledge OF the heart
OF woman to be circumscribed by ex-
citing headlines, many things should
be taken into consideration
