Equality.

Paper Read Before the ChdutduQud Circle. !
With our very limited insight into
the future it is difficult for US to
gauge the course of events any dis
tance ahead, or to accurately f0rsee
the effect of present day tendencies
upon future conditions. However,
the drift of political sentiment is the
light that guides us towards conditions
that are to be, and the best we can do
is to accept the forecast which this
source furnishes. 1t would be diff
cult to picture, even in fancy, the
American people under any other than
a republican form of government, and
yet many keen observers of the tend
encies of the times tell us that repub-
licanism is on the wane; and even
in this country many are beginning
to doubt the capacity of our constitu-
tional system TO stand the strain of
vastly expanding wealth accompanied
by unmistakable signs of growing un-
rect and widening discomfort.
Observation would seem to bear out
the statement, that confidence in the
future of republicanism or even its
stability is not general in this country
today. And in Europe the reaction
from republicanism during the last
half century has been even more de-
cided than in the United States. Fifty
years ago republicanism was advOcat-
ed in every country of Europe by a
powerful and enlightened party, but
at the beginning of the present century
this sentiment had entirely disap-
peared, and unquestionably the radical
political movement in Europe today
is not toward republicanism but social
ism, its exact opposite. But there is
no parallel between Europe and
American political conditions or tend.
encies, for in this country the struggle
is to maintain political equality while
the people of Europe have not advanced
beyond demanding the same.
The immediate danger which threat
ems the evolution of our politica
, system is not socialism but the mos
detestable of all forms of government
, i. g., plutocracy. We cannot mistake
: the growing evidences Of suspicion
among the masses that the owners o.
l>tweslth are endeavoring to dominate
J the government and use its powers +

Honesty Is Becoming Popular.

Judge Gray, chairman of the direct
ors of the United States Steel corpora
tion, believes there is to be less trickery
and dishonesty in business. He says
in Harper's Weekly: "There is great
awakening in this country with rela-
tion to better conduct, more decency,
more honesty, more responsibility-by
everybody to everybody. 1t doesn't
make an atom of difference who
brought it about. It's here. Mark my
words, that is the keynote of the
American business situation today.
There has been deceit, there has been
over-reaching, there have been errors
innumerable, but from this time for
ward there is going to be more fairness
and lot more candor and rectitude
in the transaction of business"
Judge Gray's statement is interest
ing and important as the testimony of
man prominent in the business world
who is also an expert at reading the
signs of the times. The doctrine is
not new one for him. He has been
preaching it for some time and has
been putting it into practice in the
affairs of his own corporation. The
sentiment he expresses is that which
prompted the insurance investigation,
resulted in the abolition of rebates,
and has been productive Of general
interest and activity along lines of
business reform. He and the more
progressive financiers recognize the
temper of the people and are govern
ing themselves accordingly.
The spirit of the golden rule and
the lesson that honesty is the best poli-
cy are becoming real factors in the
dealings of men with men. The peO-
pie are recognizing the former because
of the profit to be derived from the
latter. Business men are finding that
it no longer pays to resort to sharp
practices and shoddy goods. A repu-
tation for honesty and fair dealing is
an asset no man can afford to trifle
with. 1t does not pay to impose on
others. A little temporary profit may
be derived from shrewd methods, but
the same customer is not caught more
than once.
4 There always is more or less of irreg-
uIarity in the business methods of q
new country or community. But de-
ception will not do when business con-
ditiuns become fixed, when the dealer
has to rely on the same set of customs
ers and not shifting.population So
it is with the nations. While there
is a rush on toward unexplored fields
of activities the conduct of the indi-
vidual or firm is given little considera-
ton by others. Loose methods are
tolerated and even practiced by many
who need only to have their ways
called to attention in order to mend
them. The people of this country
have passed the frontier stage of de-
velopment. They have paused to take
account of methods. They no more
:. will countenance shady methods and
indirections. The spirit of the square
:. deal is national, and Judge Gray, no
: doubt, is right when he says there is
to be more fairness and candor from
. this time forward-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

evil we should place the achievements
of the past century, the progress we
have made, the prosperity it has
brought us, the blessings of liberty
which we have enjoyed, which will
continue to be ours as long as we
maintain republicanism undefiled.

PORTLAND, Me, February 10-(Specal CORE
spondence) AN error crept into the correspond
ence from this city published in The National
ProhibihOniSt recently, in regard to Sheriff Pen
nell when he was mentioned out of office In
point of fact, Mr.. Pencil is still in office since
his term does not expire until 1908 The recent
election a defeat for him, since it over
whelmed his allies, but it did not affect his ten
ure of office, as he was not candidate and his
office was not voted for.
