rupt business and corrupt politics act and react with ever increasing debase- ment, one on the other, the corrupt head ia corporation and the corrupt labor leader are both in the same de- gree the enemies of honest corpora tions anu honest labor unions; the re- bate taker, the franchise traffickers, the manipulator of securities, the pur- veyor and protector of vice, the black mailing ward boss, the ballot box suffer, the demagogue, the mob lead CT. the hired bully and mankiller-all alike work at the same web of cor ruption, and all alike should be ab- horred b yhonest men.
 The "business" which is hurt by the movement for honesty is the kind of business which, in the long run, it pays the country to have hurt. It is the kind of business which has tend ed to make the very name "high fin ance'' a term of scandal to which all honest American men Of business should join in putting an end The special pIeaders for business dishon- esty, in denouncing the present ad- ministration for enforcing the law against the huge and corrupt corpora tons which have defied the law, also denounce it for endeavoring to secure sadly needed labor legislation, such as a far reaching law making em- ployers liable for injuries to their em- ployes. It is meet and fit that the apologists for corrupt wealth should oppose every effort to relieve weak and helpless people from crushing misfortune brought upon them by in jury in the business from which they gain a bare Livelihood The burden should be distributed. It is hypo- critical baseness to speak of a girl who works in a factory where the dangerous machinery Is unprotected as having the right" freely to con tract to expose herself to dangers to life and limb. She has no alternative but to suffer want or else to expose herself to such dangers and when she loses a hand or is otherwise maimed or disfigured for life, it is moral wrong that the whole burden of the risk necessarily incidental to the busi- ness should be placed with crushing weight upon her weak shoulders, and all who profit by her work escape scot free. This Is what opponents of just employers liability law advo- cate ;and it is consistent that they should usually also advocate immun- fly for those most dangerous members of the criminal class-the criminals of great wealth.

serYatiYes who object to cutting mp the abuses will do well 10 remember that if popular feeling does uecome strong against any of those upon whom they rely, to defend them will be the first to turn against them. Men of property cannot afford to trust to anything save the spirit d justice and fair play; for these very public men who, while it is to their interest to defend all the abuses com mitted by capital and pose as the champion of conservatism, will, in tho moment they think their interest changes, take the lead in just such a matter as this and pander to what they esteem popular feeling by en- deavoring, for instance, effectively to destroy the power of the courts in matters of injunction; and will even seek to render nugatory the power to punish for contempt upon which power the very existence of the order ly administration of justice depends.
 Wants More Regulating Power.
 Not only should there be action on certain laws, affecting wage earners; there should also be such action on laws better to secure control over the great business concerns engaged in interstate commerce and especially over the great common carriers. The interstate commerce commission should be empowered to pass upon any rate or practice op its own initia tive. Moreover it should be provided that whenever the commission has reason to believe that a proposed ad- vance in a rate ought not to be made without investigation, it should have authority to issue an order prohibit ing the advance pending examination by the commission.
 would not be understood as ex- pressing an opinion that any or even a majority of these advances are i'm proper. Many d the rates in this country have been abnormally low. The operating expenses of our rail- roads. notably the wages paid rail road employees. nave greatly increas- ed. These and other causes may, in any given case, justify an advance in rates, and if so the advance should be permitted and approved, but these may be. and doubtless are cases where this is not true and our law should be so framed that the govern ment as the representative of the whole people, can protect the indiv1d- nal against unlawful exactions for the use of these public highways The Interstate Commerce Commission should be provided with the means

The management Of the Dallas Fret
Library, after having arranged for q
goodly list ofmagazines and reference
material for the reading table, has
been considerably annoyed by some
unknown parties who persist in carry
ing magazines land books when they
can get them away from the library
in the absence Of the librarian. Thiev-
ing of this sort il continued, will
result In the closing Of the reading
room at all hours except the regular
time when the librarian is there. These
thefts are probably actuated by no
vicious motive and may be co mmitted
thoughtlessly, but whoever may have
been guilty Of them should at least
return the magazines and avoid COM
mitting the offense again, as he will
not profit by it, and may only be the
cause Of depriving all of the patrons
of the reading room OF many Of the
privileges that they now enjoy.

''The words he fairly busts to

They've ordered out the plain clothes

For when he lifted up his voice In

The whole police force knew that ne
might change somebody's vote.
And so they've got him down and they
are lumpin' on his throat.
