REFUSE TO BE INFLUENCED.
(Creston Advertiser)

CCreston Advertiser)
1t is hard to understand why 1t is
that the great newspapers of Chica-
go have so little influence. With one
exception all the republican and in
dependent papers of the city were
strongly in favor of the nomination
OF Deneen for governor. Deneen also
seemed to be much the stronger and
more popular man. Yet he carried
Cook county by very few thousands
and the state by small majority.
In other campaigns this same lack OF
influence has been noticeable The
people seem to have little confidence
in the fairness or the good judgment
of the big newspapers and quietly
vote for men who are denounced as
unfit to hold office.

Reform a La Fitchburg.

The plan of Fitchburg, Mass, to prof.
mote sobriety is one of the most inter
esting yet devised It has also the
great merit of promising practical re-
suits. For, in the first place, it is due
to a combination of the police, the
brewers, and the saloon keepers; and,
of course, it cannot fail to win the ap-
proval of the social reformers.
But though the plan is practical,
whether it will prove popular is another
matter. The idea of limiting the pa
tron of the saloon to one drink may
meet the average requirements of re
freshment, provided the schooner be ca
pacious. But here is a rule which
threatens trouble:
"Patrons must first tel their names
before being served"
The purpose is to assist the bartender
to identify the customer. Beside the
bar will be a list of persons convicted
of intemperance within given time
and if the name of the man who want;
a drink is on the list, his wants and
til glass viii remain untitled.
Tut the rule may work in more way;

beyond 10000. Now, on the basis Of
II, 800 seats, Denver was given 5000.
These were TO be sold by way OF
raising money. Denver has sold 100
seats. Then the committee on arrange
ments decided that Denver would have

The Wild East at Denver.

One of the spectacular side issues of
the Denver convention is the hubbub
Of curiosity over the arrival of dele
gates from the effete and Plutocratic
East. Men straight from the lair of
the octopus and the haunt of the sky
scraper are swarming into the Colo
RADIO metropolis, and there are signs
that the natives haven't decided
whether to shout or TO shoot.
The excitement has been unduly
pulled up by the unfortunate reports
concerning the equipment of the Tam
many braves. The impression has
gone abroad that the bucks and saga
mores from Wall Street and the
Bowery will descend upon Denver with
an avalanche of fzzy enthusiasm and
empty bottles. The Western idea of q
Tammany boss is the old one that
sketches a tough in sports clothing, in
spite of the abstemiousness of men like
Croker, Murphy, and Grady, which
ought to be well known by this time
Twelve years ago Mr.. Bryan ven
tured into the enemy's country, as h'
called the North Atlantic States; and
since then Westerners have been look

HOTEL MEN ANGRY

MONDAY EVENING, JULY 6. 1908.
Keep Congress From the Practice

By Congress at its last session the
District was given
A child labor law without machinery
to enforce it.
a District building without artisans
to keep it in repair.
Immediately, the authorities set to
work to overcome the almost fatal de-
feet of the Congressional action For
the enforcement of the law indicated
two policemen were taken from a force
already too small, and the issuing Of
certificates was put upon the office Of
the Secretary of the Board of Educa-
ton, likewise overburdened. In the
District building, the Commissioners
hit upon the device of employing men
as watchmen and elevator operators
who could do also carpentry, plumb
ing, painting, and general repair work.
This is better than no child labor law
and no ne: District building But that
is all it is. In the end the work of
men suffers if they are overburdened.
The logical expectation from the
conditions put upon US by Congress in
these two instances is that the District
will pay the cost in lesser police pro-
lection, less efficient service in the Of
fic of the Board of Education, less
distracted watchfulness over the new
Municipal building. Not that there viii
be any conscious let-down, but only
tn: no man can do two mems work
and do IT as well.
Here lies the danger of such enact
ments. The Commissioners and the
people of the District must be on the
watch TO see that the child labor Law
and the undermined District building
are not made presidents for the repeti
ton of such lapses until Congress de
velops them into a practice

Beating the Crops.

Good crops were thought to be The
prerequisite to a complete recovery
from the panic. BY that calculation
the country would have waited until
September to feel the impetus, until
October 20 reap the first fruits, and IN
til November for a general rise in
volume of trade and a general loosening
of banking restrictions. But here in
the early days of July comes news
that reveals a decided improvement
and the crops are only well above
ground.
Among the railroads, the Erie has re-
employed 1900 men on its roadbed and
| l 500 in its repair shops; the Hartman
management has sent large shifts of
men to Colorado and Nebraska; the
Illinois Central has put back at work
I5,5OO men, mostly skilled mechanics;
the Northwestern has returned 400 TO
their old places; and the Pennsylvania
has not only ordered 100 old brakemen
to report for duty, but taken from the
round house several hundred of its
idle locomotives, called Teddy Bears"
from their wrappings Of tarpaulin.
Scores OF cotton mills in New England
have reopened after a shutdown OF
several months. st. Louis manufac-
turers have put 1890 men back at
Their benches. The international Har-
vester Company OF Chicago and the
Alis- Chalmers Machine Company of
Milwaukee have returned 10 their full
time schedules. The paint, oil and
chemical manufactures, the carpet and
wooden mills, the hat houses, and the
general textile plants all report normal
demands which means the employment
of fill forces. Finally, New Jersey re-
cords for June interpretations with an
aggregate capital of SlsS,l64, the larg-
lest total since February, 1907.
These are indications of progress
Newspaper pleas for restored confidence
could not produce them. Exactly as
no citizen invests a thousand dollars
because his paper thinks that would
help the money market, so no corpora
ton takes on great bodies of men and
lswells its weekly payroll for the effect
on the financial situation. This new
activity is a direct response TO sharper
demands, and the prospect of money
payments on goods ordered for imme
date delivery.

majority and there is no basis Whatever
