The prohibitionists of the country
seem to understand thoroughly, says
the Minneapolis Tribune, that their
success in limiting and regulating the
saloon business is due entirely, to a
healthy instinct for public order.
This is the best security against at
tempt to push their success beyond the
border between sound public order
and the most insidious disorder bred
by secret indulgence. 1t might be
feared that some of the Southern states
had passed over this boundary and
must confront a dangerous reaction,
did not social conditions there author
ize degree of personal tyranny by
which secret indulgence of appetite
may be controlled.
Certainly, in the free political com
munities of the North, complete prohl-
bition of the sale of liquor, regardless
of circumstances and conditions, has
generally proved more dangerous to
public order than even traffic without
restriction. The shocking effect of the
abolition Of the canteen upon the NOR
ais of the army is warning for civil
communities. Another warning is to
be found in a curious paragraph IN
the annual report of the president OF
the whisky trust. He says:
s'With reference to the prohibition
movement, it is unnecessary togo into
details, but it can be stated as TACT,
based upon long experience and status
tics, that ali attempts to regulate the
traffic by statute and the enforcement
OF restrictive legislation have invarl-
! ably resulted in an increase IN the pei
capita consumption in the state atfec'
ted. The effect Of prohibition laws is
only to change the channels and meth
DDS of distribution.
We may regret that the president die
not think it proper to go into details.
It would be extremely interesting to
know how much whisky per capita il
4 sold in Maine, in Kansas and in tht
prohibition counties of local option
states, in comparison with the pei
capita consumption of states where thu
traffic is licensed and regulated.
Travellers stories are notoriously

Ition states come back with amazing

accounts of the extent and facility OF
the subterranean traffic in prohibited
liquors. If some lawabiding persons
refrain who would otherwise indulge
openly, the fascination of the forbid
den draws more into secret defiance OF
the law. Moreover, dealers are said
to compensate themselves for the risks
and losses of the prohibited traffic by
dispensing poison. they never would
dare toeexpose to view in openly Ii
censed traffic.
There is no great need to dwell upon
this point, because of the singularly
sane and reasonable temper through
which the recent successes of prohibit
ton have been won.
During the past ten years. says
Bourke Cochran. the eminent New
York democrat who bolted Bryan in
1896 and espoused the cause of the sim
gle gold standard. 1.-THE entire control
of productive agencies has passed into
the hands of less than half a dozen
men," And then, to make the picture
infinitely worse, he frankly admits that
if called upon to give the names of
those who completely dominate the en-
tire Industrial field he could not men
ton more than four to save his life.
Take these four men, Rockefeller,
Morgan, Hartman and Hill, and you
have the names of all who practically
control our important industries and
all tie profitable agencies of trans
portation. ''By the influence which
this control gives Them says Mr..
Cochran, ''they have come to domi-
nate our financial institutions, our
great insurance companies, our lead
ing banks and trust companies, in fact
the agencies of credit, and that means
the industrial life of a community"
Their combined power, he is salts
fed, is stronger today than that Of
any government that ever existed, and
to prove his assertion he cites the fact
that in twenty years not single act
has passed congress except under the
whip and spur of outside influences.
Mr.. Cochran ought to know whereof
he speaks:f for not only has he been the
paid attorney of these great industrial
dictators, but he has also been in con-
gress and through his service and
prominence there has had ample oppor-
tunity to observe the cunning and
boldness with which they work.

Official Paper of New Ulm.
FOR SHAME.

From the mine they took small
boy, eleven years old, who bore on his
grimed little face look of peace and
happiness that doubtless never marked
it in life. There are other little trap
per boys, they say, in the hideous
catacomb back under the hills, boys
that never have known the delight of
tops and marbles, and whose best COM
rades are the slow and patient mules
that haul the black cars down the
drifts. The little boy taken out was a
weakling, a mere child, who in life
probably did not possess enough
strength to lift bushel of coal. But
his small hands were gnarled and his
shoes were those Of a man laoorer,
cough and tough and hobnailed"
Reproducingsthe above pitifufstory
from a press report of the recent
Monongah mine horror, the Omaha
World-HeraM comments editorially:
Christian men, and women should
weep with pity and bow their heads
with shame. For Mis puny little ele-
n-year-o Idminer; withg narled hands
and hobnailed shoes; this child robbed
of his childhood: taken from tine sun
light and the fields and streams and
forests while yet baby and plunged
into this coal mine there to suffer and
die: this little miner was their slave.
In their service he lived and died, and
all he has to show for what our Chris
tian civilization has given him in re-
turn for what he gave is his stunted
soul and starved body and his grimy
face upturned to the sky. Dickens
Little Joe,' the English wait whose
forlorn condition SO touched the great
heart Of the novelist, was prince, a
pampered and favored child of for

American miner of a haif-century la
ter. A half-centurY Of progress and
this is what we have to show for it! Is
it strange socialism grows; socialism.
which hurls its challenge in the face
Of the system that has given US this
sorry product? Is it strange that, de-
spite its fundamental fallacies, it ap-
peals to the fathers and mothers of the
poor when it can launch, with justice,
the terrific Indictment against capt
talist civilization that the march of
it's conquest is stained with the blood
of infants and paved with the puny
bones of children? People were poor
enough, God knows, in the dark ages
OF medieval ignorance and in the still
earlier days of paganism; but never,
till modern industrialism joined hands
with Christian civilization, did they
have to send their children to work as
children are sent today. Ancient greed
held it's hand in pity Or shame, and
spared the child. The greed of today
knows neither shame nor pity and in
children it finds succulent morsels. y

The Good Man of the Future.

After reading the views OF such men
as Bernard Shaw, Bishop Ireland,
Tom Lawson and few more of the
big ones on what constitutes really
good man, it is indeed refreshing to
be handed such delightfully."- worded
sentiments as these from plain coun-
try editor like Rea OF the Tracy
Herald:
The good man of the future will be.
good to his horse, his COW, his dog and
his chickens; he will be good to the
trees and the grass and the flowers,
and to all objects, animate and mani
mate, in which he finds companion
ship, utility and pleasant association.
He will follow with mind and hand the
seed of clover from it's frst-bursting
in the mellow, sun-warmed earth in the
springtime to its later stage as a
globule of golden cream Or a silver
drip from the waxen cup of the busy
bee. The good man of the future will
comfort and caress his noble beast
and will receive as his reward that
message in silent eloquence and praise
and affection which only the dumb can
bestow to manly master. The good
man will study and aualyze the grain
of sand. In it he will see fl action of
the stone, the home, the factory, monu-
ments, statutes of art and beauty.
He will realize his strength to lift it
and lift others, until finally he has
reared mountain. The good man
will think of these, his environments,
and prove his animation, not by mere
thinking and repeating and preaching,
but by doing; he will create; he
will constructive will radiate life.
He will mate, and the spirit of his
life will enter the son, the daugh-
ter. AS time passes the pure product
of his being will overflow to the newer.
image in his loved ones. In them will
he see perpetuity, Immortality, eter-
nifty, and when entering upon that last
sleep. as if but resting from the toll of
well-spent day, with smiling salts
faction will come the passing. Such
man will form golden link in the
chain of the future.

ested in the question as to who discov-
cred Gov. johnson OF Minnesota. The
Tribune says editorially:
ssCol. Charles FL. Grasty, editor of
the Baltimore News, having written in
his newspaper that Col. Henry Wat
terson, editor of the Courier-J ournal,
was responsible for the discovery of
John A. Johnson, governor OF Mime
sofa, has kindled the ire and anger OF
that versatile Palmetto editor, Col.
William A. Hemphill, of the Charles
ton News and Courier.
s'Col. Hemphill allows that he is the
man who, on cloudy days for Demo-
cracy, lifted the veil and To- there
stood Johnson.
''Col. Hemphill relates that way
back yonder, soon after the sage OF
Esopus had quit politics, he scanned
certain election returns and on read
ing them thought long and seriously.
HE telegraphed to Minnesota and
got information about the newly cleo
ted governor. Then he went to the Of
flee and let his moving finger write.
He said things about Johnson.

was startled by editorials in Col. Wat
terson's inimitable palladium of liber-
ty announcing that the real, up-to-
date, unafraid, militant Democrat had
been found
He could sweep the country. His
aim was true, his heart bold. He
could shoot the heart out of the worst
political storm that ever was brewed.
His name, after weeks OF concealment
on the part Of the star-eyed goddess,
was johnson. People read of Gov.
johnson and marveled much. Col.
Watterson was the real Columbus at
last. But, along comes the South
Carolina editor, who sweeps the sails
from the Kentuckian's ships.
"He points out that he found John

political swaddling clothes, when bib

and toys were scattered promiscuously
over the floor.

that he was not the first wet. nurse to
