AS to Railroads.

sE.-
mir. Taft can be trusted to. exact
Justice from the railroads for the
very reason that he can be trusted
to do Justice to the railroads. The
railroads are the chief instruments
OF interstate commerce In the coun-
try and they cannot either be held to
q proper accountability on the one
hand or given proper protection on
the other, save by the affirmative &C
ton OF the Federal government. The
law as laid down by the federal
courts clearly shows that the states
have not and cannot devise laws ad-
quate to meet the problems causei
by the great growth of the railroads
doing an Interstate commerce bust
ness, for more than four-hfths OF the
business Of the railroads is interstate
and under the constitution Of the
United States only the federal gov
eminent can exercise control there
over. It is absolutely necessary that
this control should be thorough-go-
ing. All interstate business carried
on by the great corporations should,
in the interest Of the whole people,
be far more closely supervised than
at present by. the national govern
ment; but this is especially true of
the railroads, which cannot exist at
all save by the exercise of powers
granted them on behalf of the people
and which, therefore, should be held
to a peculiar accountability to the
people.
Must Do No Injustice.
1T is in the interest Of the people
that they should not be permitted
to do injustice; and it is no less to
the interest of the people that they
should not suffer injustice. The prime
purpose is to carry the commodities
of the farmers and the business man !;
they could not be built save for the
money contributed to them by their
share ders;; they could not run at
all save for the money paid out in
wages to the railroad employees: and,
finally, they could not be run Judi
ciously, or probably to any one,
We're it not for the employment by
them Of some masterful guiding in
telligence. whether of man or Of
a group of men, There are therefore
several sets Of interests to be con-
sidered. Each must receive proper
consideration, and when any one Of
them selfishly demands exclusive
nsideration the demands must be
refused. Along certain lines all Of
these groups have the same interests.
1t is to the interest of shipper, farm
or, wage-worker, business man, hon
est shareholder, and honest manag-
er alike that there should be econ
ony, honesty. intelligence, and fair
treatment Of all. To put en- effective

favor such an equitable arrangement
should themselves be favored and
not forbidden by law; although they
should be strictly supervised by the
government through Interstate Com
nleree Commission, which should
have the power of passing summarily
upon; not only the question OF. the
reduction but the raising Of rates.
Evil Of Demogogy. =
aFhis railroad problem is itself
one of the phases of one of the
greatest and most intricate prob
lens of our civilization; for its
proper solution we need not merely
honesty and courage, but Judgment,
good sense and entire fairminded-
ness. Demagogy in such a matter is
as certain to work evil as corruption
itself. The man who promises to
raise the wages of raidroad employees
to the highest point, and at the same
time to reduce rates to the lowest
point is promising what neither he
nor anyone else can perform; and if
the effort to perform it were at
tempted disaster would result to
both shipper and wage-worker, and
ruin the business interests of the
country. The man to trust in such
a matter as this is the man who
like Judge Taft, does not promise
too much, but who could not be
swayed from the path of duty by
any argument, by any consideration;
who will wage relentless war on the
successful wrongdoer among railroad
men as among all other men; who
will do all that can be done to Sc
cure legitimately low rates to ship.
pers and absolute evenness among
the rates thus secured; but who will
neither promise nor attempt to Sc
cure rates so low that the wage
Garner would lose his earnings and
the shareholder, whose money built
the road, his profits. He will not
favor a ruinous experiment like gov
eminent ownership of railways; he
will stand against any kind of con.
fiscation Of honestly acquired prop
erty; but he will work effectively
for the most efficient type of gov
eminent supervision and control of
railways, SO as to secure just and
fair treatment of the people as a
whole. - .*%.
Taft and the Trusts.
what is here said as to his at
titude on the railway question ap-
plies to the whole question of the
trusts. He will promise nothing on
this subject unless he firmly believes
he can make his promise good. He
will go into no chimerica1 movement
to destroy ali great business comb
nations; for this can only be done
by destroying all modern business;
but he. will in practical fashion, do
everything possible to secure such
efficient control, on behalf of the
people as whole. over these great
combinations as will deprive then,
of the power to work evil. Mr.. Taft's
decision In the Addystone Pipe Line
case while on the bench is proof, by
deeds, not by words, of the far-sIght-
ed wisdom, with which he serves the
interests of the whole people even
when those of the most powerful
corporations are hostile thereto.

of the Revised Statutes Of Missouri
prohibits a corporation from sub
scribing money to the campaign fund
Of any political party, and makes
such conduct work forfeiture OF the
charter of the corporation so offend
ing. II further provides that the SUIT
to forfeit the same may be brought
in any court Of the State by the At
torney- General. The Legislature OF
Missouri, by resolution, inquired OF
Mr.. Hadley why such suit had not
been brought against the brewery
company that contributed S7,Soo to-
ward his election, and Mr.. Hadley
responded that the facts did not in
his opinion bring the case within the
language of the law.
First Aid to the Brewery.
This, notwithstanding that the
president of that brewery himself
swore that S7,soo was contributed by
the Anheuser-B Busch Brewing Assoeia-
ton; that il was paid with the check
of that company, and the committee
found that $2,5o was contributed by
this association, and so distinctly re-

tempt OF all honest Democrats is
now receiving, at least in part, the
punishment he so richly deserved;
but Senator Sullivan is still a power
in the Republican party, and bear
ing in one hand the record of his
conviction OF soliciting a bride, and
carrying in the other the credentials
from his party as a delegate to the
National Convention at Chicago,
he sat by the side of Mr.. Hadley to
name the presidential nominee for his
party.
There are dishonest men in all par
res, and now and then every party is
liable TO make a mistake in the selec-
ton of its candidates. The difference
is this: We punish our scoundrels,
they promote theirs.
Republican Interferes in Peril.
"Mr. HadIey exhibits an earnest de-
sire to make the ST. Louis primary an
issue of the campaign. here serve
notice on him, we Democrats can set
tie our own family disputes, and the
Republican brother that breaks in be-
tween the warning members of our
| family is likely to receive a jolt on
both cheeks. He can make no issue
with me over the primaries in St.
Louis.
There may have been illegal vot-
ing in several wards, but the returns
so far gathered indicate that Mr..
Hadley's percentage of fraudulent
votes was about as great as anybody
else's. The returns further show that
on the Democratic side such votes
were about equally divided between
my leading opponent, Mr.. Ball, and
myself. But ! observe in the Globe
Democrat of September 20 that In
Precinct 2 of Ward az Mr.. Ball was
credited with Io4 votes, was given

voting for Mr.. Ball, eleven who claim
to have voted for me and nine for
Mr.. Hadley; so while Hadley's vote
was swelled by 90 per cent of fraud,
mine was reduced by about 900 per
cent. I note also in the Second pre-
cinet OF the Fourth ward that Mr.
Hadley is credited with twenty-six
votes, and the canYassers find only
two men that admit voting for him.
The Democrats OF this State un-
derstand that in every booth Repub-
lican Judges and clerks were serving
derstand full we'll that IL there was
fraud the Republicans participated in
il, and they know further that no
man upon their ticket owes his nomi-

"Mr. Hadiey has made himself the
sewer through which the slime daily
put forth in the columns of the
Globe Democrat is to be given to the
people of the State. He has gath
