The President and the Gas Monopoly.

A large number of gentlemen who chance to be men,
bers of the District of Columbia Committees of Senate and
House going to be before their constituents in the near
future, seeking reelection.
They will their people that they stand on the
platform vigorously stated by President Roosevelt in
his message to Congress last week.
One of them will be Chairman Smith of the House
Committee He will be wanting his Michigan constituents
to re-elect him a Roosevelt Republican.
Another will be Senator Long of Kansas, chairman of
the Senate Committees Subcommittee Public Utilities.
Long of Kansas mind you'll Any doubt about Kansas know
ing what overcapazaton means7 Any uncertainty about
Kansas knowing it's against that sort of thing7
Senator Long is a candidate for reelection. He will
make campaign his record of support of Roosevelt pol
cies. The Roosevelt policies include cardinal PROPOSE
ton the demand that overcapitazation be prevented
Therefore it is to be assumed that if Washington
were part of Senator Longs constituency he would be Wig
orOusy in favor of preventing the Gas Monopoys stock
imitation scheme.
VIII he take that postOn3
If he doesn't he will be for kind of justice to Kan
sas which votes and another kind for Washington which
dOesn' vote.
We expect to the Senator's subcommittee report
this gas measurable to prevent infaon-and
we expect to see the measure pass.

goins vigorously in the attack on
staDd-Patism.
Congress viii listen, of course. 1t
may even be brought to approve
tariff commission. That would be q
characteristic Republican move; for
Mr. Cannon and his associates could
point to it as a device to save the
tariff while fellow party men who
really want the schedules revised
could cite it as proof that relief was
in sight. Then, according to all
precedent, the commission would sit
a year or more, Congress would con-
sumo another year in mulling over
its recommendations, the bill then
enacted would not become opera
tive until July / of the year follow
ing, and we should have our cheaper
necessities (if ever at these hands,
by the middle of the year 1911.
Equally, of course, the Republican
party may get away with it. The
only opposition it has to face is
obfuscated, and doesn't deserve to
win. But If the Democratic party
should for one brief moment come
to its senses, if it would only give
the movement for tariff revision a
show for its life, If it would shut
up on socialism and talk the one
doctrine that has elected a Presi-
dent from its ranks for fifty years,
the stand-patters of this country
would learn a lesson that would
tighten the financial burdens of
every family in the land.

QUEEN CULT ARISES
IN PENNSYLVANIA

YORK, Pa, Feb. s-Credulity and
superstition, which still prevail IN vari-
Gus sections Of York and Lancaster
counties, have resulted in the formation
of a peculiar sect or cult Of which there
are many branches.
Queerest Of ali. II is apparent that the
origfnators Of this sect, and the only
Cnes who seem to profit by it, are GER
tain persons who manufacture glasses
which are the sect's all-important
badges Of power.
With these glasses the initiated claim
that they can see into the past and
future. and into the very bowels OF the
earth. They also claim that with them
they are able TO call the living or dead
within range Of their visions.
At DailastOwn some Of the better
classes of residents Of the town are
identified with the odd band. Seances
are held, but the occurrences there are
ShTOuded in the deepest mystery. IN
stances are not lacking wherein II Is
claimed wells have been discovered or
events foretOld by the initiated
A visitor who was given Sn oppor-
tunity 10 examine one Of the nlysteri-
Gus glasses found il nothing more than
a convex lens, encased in a cheap tin
frame with a wooden handle. For
these, it is claimed, the credulOus ones
pay the Columbia makers big prices.

Business Men in Politics.

Give us business men for the
Offices" has been a demand against
which there has been hardly one
dissenting voice save among those
who, regardless of any claim of fit
ness or their lack of it, would SUBJ
stitute the cry: Give us the Offices"
The London Spectator, in a care
fully considered and cautiously
worded discussion of the subject,
now lays down the proposition that
the business men have no business
in Office, and bases it on the very
fact that they are business men.
All this is due to the discovery bv
the writer in the Spectator that
this passage is to be found in Ec-
clesiasticus: ''The wisdom of a
learned man cometh by opportunity
of leisure; and he that hath little
business shall become wise The
ancient Hebrew writer then went
on to point out the success that at
tended the efforts of the men who
were busy and attended to their
own business. leaving to those who
had leisure the pleasure of attend
ing to the business of other people.
Of these busy business men, the
farmer and the carpenter. the smith
and the potter, this wise man of
olden times continues:
They shall not be sought Cor in pub-
lick counsel, nor sit high in the co1gre-
cation; they snail not sit on the JUDGES
seat, nor understand the sentence OF
judgment: they cannot declare Justice
and judgment; and they shall not be
found where parallels are spoken, But
they viii maintain the state Of the
world, and LallJ their desire is In the
work OF their craft.

condition Of affairs is just the same
now as then. and eff we are wise,
we shall take the words of the
writer Of EcClesiasticus to heart,
and not look for our governing men
either among the great self-made
miIlionaires and captains of indus
try, or the workingmen politicians.
We shall draw our rulers neither
from the contingencies and the
board room, nor from the work
shop, the mine, and the pillow, but
from the men of leisure, whether
rich or poor, who have been able TO
dedicate themselves to public serv-
ice, and who, through opportunity
of leisure and through little ex-
ternaI business, have become wise.
How can he get political wisdom
who is immersed in lana specula-
tions, who glOries in producing
particular article at a fraction
cheaper than it was ever pdroduced
before, whose talk is of percent
ages, or who has the factory, the
mill, or the furnace always in his
mind? Heaven forbid that we
should seem to defend the profess
sionaI politician in the bad sense;
but in the good sense it may be
truly said that without him state

To Save Protection.

Stand-pat Congressman viii not
fall dead to learn that the con-
sumer wants to get his supplies
cheaper. These legislators stand
ever ready with a fine bouquet of
platitudes to prove that the tariff
has nothing to do with the prices
paid by the consumer, and are will
ing to take their chances at the
polls if the bread-winners turn TO
ballots in lieu of petitions.
But they will get a shock when
they look into the eyes of the dele
CATION which is now gathered in
Washington for the particular Pur-
pose of saving the Republican party
from Just such blindness. Nobody
can tell how much strength these
delegates represent. The lowest
estimate would be the actual men,
bership of the bodies which have
sent them here-ranging from the
National Association of Manufac-
turers and the National Grange
down to separate boards of trade
and chambers of commerce., 0OO,-
600 votes, as one paper gauges Il.
But this much is certain. These
men speak first for precisely that
commercial interest which twice
elected William Mckinley, and has
contributed sustaining strength to
the Republican party since the day
of the Morrill, tariff. This is not all
they represent, but it is enough.
And they are not pleading for steps
toward tariff revision because they
want them as tariff reformers.
They are contending for them be-
cause they want to save the very
principle of protection, and fear to
see it killed if the present rates
''purposely made too high" are
treated as invioIate. Unless the
5000 members of the National AssO-
citation of Manufacturers have gone
stark crazy, the great body of
American voters stands ready today
to choose between immediate steps
in the direction of a revision, not to
be too long delayed, or Demo-
cratic tariff designed solely to pro-
duce revenue.
Hardware associations, assOcia-
tions of agricultural implement
manufacturers and vehicle makers,
merchant tailor bodies, and other
organizations of those for whom
protective tariffs are specially
drafted, send committees to uphold
that of the National Association of
Manufacturers. But that is not all.
They are accompanied by a commit
tee representing the National
Grange. This body does not include
all the 100000 farm workers of
the nation. But it is within the
truth to say it represents 1000, 900
Of them. And that 100000 Of the
men for whom the present duty or
wool was theoretically intended,
whose wheat was TO be saved from
that Of Canada. and whose corn was
to be saved from some imaginary
competitions no other country in
the world produces enough Ameri-
can maize to talk about-that body
