FAREWELL TO THE sPELLsINpER
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Mr.. Cortelyou's campaign manage
ment in 1904 did away entirely with
the . transforming variety of spell
binder" We are inclined to think that
the popular taste has outgrown this
method of campaigning. and that more
people are to be reached through a
pictorial presentation of the issues and
personalities Of a canvass-through
cartoons. epigrams and moving pic
ture shows. These have crowded the
"spellbinder" out of his occupation
and wise committee will look for
them. perhaps. for quicker and better
results. So far, however. as there re-
mains field for the minor orator 1t
would be better for the speaker and
the audience that the relation between
them be not tainted with professional
ism. An orator speaking solely be.
cause of conviction can reach his audi.
tors more easily and is likely to do
far better work than a "spellbinder"
talking chiefly for pay. There are
plenty of men who are ready to go
on the stump because they have prin.
ciples which they wish to advocate
With their aid the national committee
OF either party can proably accomplish
all that is necessary in the way of con
ducting speaking campaign.

THE UNEMPLOYED.
Boston Globe.

Boston Globe.
When it is said there is work for
everybody, that statement REQUIRES
some modification. 1t would be more
correct TO say that there is work for
everybody who is in economic need
of work and who can and will work
Many persons in economic need of EN-.
ployment actually cannot or actually
Will not work. but when these two
classes are eliminated there still re.
main a number of persons who can.
not hnd work. In spite of the anti.
quated notion. no longer held by any
considerable percentage of students of
social facts. that eyerybory can find
work that wants 1t or deserves 1t,
Since 1t is impossible always to dis.
hnguish between the unemployed hon.
estly seeking work and the unemplov.
I'd who profess to seek. but who would
be very unhappy II they found work
all persons in need of work who are
capable of performing 1t are massed
together in the classification of the
social economist as .'the unemployed. ;"

WHY SO MUCH HEART DISEASE

Philadelphia Public Ledger
DR.. Darlington. health commissioner
of New York, declares that there has
been in recent years a marked in
crease of mortality from heart dis.
ease. and that the increase is general
throughout the United States. His con
clusions are based upon inquiries oi
health officials in nearly all the cities
in this country. The general death
rate is decreasing, but the rate for
heart disease and for the Correlated
Bright's disease" shows steady in
crease.
'High-strung nervous tension" is
given as the immediate cause, and this
is superinduced and stimulated by
modern methods of competition" in
business and in social life. by greed
run riot, by an inordinate desire tc
succeed, by too much eagerness tc
win in everything at any cost. The
remedy which DIR. Darlington proposes
is not very encouraging. He thinks
the whole people of the United States
out ito stand as a unit against the
false or material gain and cultivate
a calm, equable Temperament and
mental poise."

STOCK TRADING LEGITIMATE.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Trading in stocks is just as legiti.
mate as trading In any commodity, and
speculation in stocks can no more
be forbidden or prevented than spec.
ulation In wheat or sugar or land. 1t
is only because the methods Of buy
ing and selling stocks lend themselves
more easily to general participation
In speculation or gambling that they
become more dangerous. AS long as
the gamblers lose only to one another
and the public keeps out of the game
nobody need complain. But the game
cannot be continued in that way. The
public. in fact, has become so widely
distrustful that 1t holds aloof not only
from speculation. but from actual In.
vestment, and artificial efforts to stim.
ulate its interest only increase the dis
trust and the resulting depression.

WHAT AILs HIGH SOCIETY.
Baltimore Star.

Baltimore Star.
The fact that the presses of pub
fishers today are unusually heavy with
books alleging to expose the sins of
society betokens wrong somewhere.
Either society has been indiscreet or
the public demand for reading matter
is depraved. The so-called exposures
are nauseous enough, with their fool
ish wives, their faithless husbands and
the shattered conventions. People of
sound thought, however, will not al
low themselves to be deluded into be.
lieving that society is as black as
these books paint, but 1t may be well,
at the same time, for those with a
better viewpoint to ask themselves if
by permitting to go unrebuked the fol
lies of an irresponsible few they have
note invited criticism upon the whole.
Wealth brings responsibilities, but
1t brings liberties, too, and how one
uses these reveals his real character
Were society less lenient with those
irresponsible few, who live only for
the flesh and are careless in their
living, there could be little justifica-
tion for the fiction of exposure which
is upon us.

TO REFORM NEW YORK STOCK
EXCHANGE.

New York World.
If the stock exchange were merely
a private gambling house for specula-
tors and did not affect values and In
terest rates throughout the whole
United States. 1t might plausibly, as
sert its freedom from regulation. But
SO long as 1t continues to be second
only to the United States treasury in
the widespread influence of its flnan-
cial transactions. 1t must be forced to
incorporate, it must be made subject
10 as stringent supervisions as bank
an insurance company or railroad,
and the making of false quotations
must be at least as severely punished
as the giving of rebates or the max
ing of false bank statements.

TARIFF LEGISLATION FOR THE
SOUTH.
Galveston (Texas) News.

Galveston (Texas) News.
AS long as we depend upon and pur-
sue the suicidal policy of going to the
north for our canned meats, fruits
vegetables and various other manu-
factured equally as well and as cheap
ly in Texas, we will continue to aug
ment the wealth and build up those
influences for the north which will
enable it to control the tariff legisla.
ton of the country. The better way
to fight the tariff issue would be to
build our own factories and then what.
ever benefits. If any, there may be in a
protective tariff the south could share
with the north while contending for
the privilege Of tariff for revenue
only" Until we do this the north will
continue to control our tariff legis
lation.
