FIVE PLUrocRATs SAID TO
RULE THE UNITED STATES,


Congressman W. Bourke Cochran o
New York declared in a recent speech
that within ten years the control o.
the gfat Industries of Transportation
and of the government of the United
States has passed into the hands o.
fewer than half dozen. men. He
named Rockefeller, Morgan, Harri
man, Hill and Armour as constituting
a pIutocracy more powerful than any
government which has ever existed
on earth. not oaly. he said. do these
men dominate the agencies Of produc
ton and distribution. bus also the
banks. trust and insurance companies
and other financial institutions
OF course he excepted President
Roosevelt from plutocratic controls
but he said that of late years con
gress had passed no important meas
ure save under the whip and spur OF
the executive.
Unfortunately there is too much
truth in these declarations. In spite
of the presidents aggressive activity
and his copious denunciation of mil.
lonaire malefaetors and railroad
wreckers, not single undesirable cit
izen has been removed from the head
ship of any Of the great railroad cor
porations. or the trusts. Even the
great life insurance companies, with
possibly one or two exceptions, have
again fallen under the control of Wall
street men whose names do not figure
in the lists of officers and directors.
The truth is that the people of this
country are so used to being bossed
and plundered that in large measure
they have become as caIIous or recon
ciled to political usurpation and indus
trial robbery as an OK to his yoke.
Even Roosevelt who yaliantly fights
other abuses, fails to see that among
the worst evils which demand speedy
redress is the robbery Of the people
by the trusts, under cover of high du-
ties which are wholly needless for
protection, as shown by the fact that
these trusts undersell European COM
petitors in Europe and other foreign
countries.
This is a point in which William ].
Bryan is far in the lead of Roosevelt.
But as Theodore has steadily ad-
vanced along the pathway of reform
blazed by Bryan, there is reason to
hope that before many months the
strong man in the white house will
see the tariff as the Nebraskan has
long seen it, cry aloud for the relief
of the people and lash the robbers I'M
til they consent to tariff revision. For
be it known that the hundreds of
great manufacturing and producing
trusts rule both branches OF congress
as absolutely as Speaker Cannon, one
of their creatures, controls the pro-
ceedings of the house of representa-
tiyes.-Sacramento Bee.

The Nogales Oasis processes to
have learned that a movement is ad-
vocated, by a syndicate of democratic
newspapers to secure an instructed
delegation to the national republican
convention for Senator Foraker. The
Oasis concludes that there will be no
instructed degation for either Mr.
Taft or Mr.. Foraker, since both are
dead, having killed each other, but
that there will be delegation for a
live one.
AS to the movement in behalf of
Mr.. Foraker, we know certain demo
cratic newspapers, as well as some
republican newspapers have frequent.
ly said that Mr. Foraker deserves the
support of Arizona We think nobody
will dispute that, except the editor of
the Oasis and the others who felt as
he did about joint statehood. But
We know of none of Mr.. Foraker's
friends in Arizona who are seeking to
reward him by setting aside the prin-
ciple that delegations from this terri

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. Like
pages out of the past, torn from the
great book of history and heavy laden
with the memories of 225 years, the
living scenes of the first great hrs
torical pageant ever planned in this
country were unfolden Friday before
concourse of perhaps 100000 people.
In this wonder drama of the centuries
the eliminating feature of Philadel'
phia's notable celebration of Founders
week, there were 5000 men and wom-
en- in costumes.
There were 20 mammoth floats rep
resenting months of careful study and
faithful to the last detail in their por-
trayal of the scenes selected from the
long span of years that have marked
the passing milestones of the city.
Following the scenes of early settle
ment there came the period of William
Penn and the Quakers. From this
time on events moved rapidly and
BENJAMIN Franklin soon followed Penn
upon the scene. 1t was not long I'M
til the spectators found themselves
gazing upon Washington, Jefferson,
Lafayette, John Paul Jones, Rocham-
beau and others in the various scenes
of their patriotic activities. They
looked upon Betsy Ross as she toiled
upon the flag; they saw depicted the
scene of the voting upon the Declara'
ton of Independence in the old state
house; they saw the Virginians COM
ing to congress with Washington, JEFF
ferson and Patrick Henry at their
head; they saw the New Englanders
arrive with John Adams, John Han
cock, Samuel Adams and Robert
Treat Paine riding in the lead and
then, out of all this pageantry of make
believe, there came touch OF real
history. 1t was the old Liberty Bell
On carefully guarded truck and part
ly buried in straw the old relic itself
was shown as it was being hurried
away to Allentown in a hay wagon for
safekeeping in 1777.
On the heels of the departing bell
came the entrance of the British
troops into Philadelphia under Sir
both of whom were pictured in Fri
days parade. The advent of the red
coated troops was an imposing feature
of the spectacle. There were about
1000 we'll drilled men in the lines and
all were costumed in the period of the
revolution. Following this came the
march of the Americans to Yorktown
Another thousand men made up the
continental troops. Rochambeau and
the French allies, in resplendent uni
form, added further color and interest
to the revolutionary period.
The period of the Civil war gave
another opportunity for military dis
play. The sons of veterans pictured
the departure of the troops and If
uniform and equipment they complied
with historic accuracy. The selling Oh
war loans by Jay Cooke was followed
by a visit of Lincoln to Philadelphia
and lastly by the return of the sol
.diePa.
People fought to get glimpse of the
spectacle and hundreds of women
were taken crushed and fainting from
the congested corners. Every ambu
lance in the city was brought into play
and every hospital was filled. The
eight miles of grandstands, covering
practically every foot on either side OF
the route traversed by the pageant
were fairly stormed by ticket holders
while spectators reaped a harvest at
exorbitant prices.

In our generation women have forced
their way into almost every department
of life After you have let them work in
your factories, in your fields and mines, III
your bars and workshops, in your gardens
and postoffices and counting houses, after
you have let them practice medicine and
study law, it is too late to turn back, or to
refuse them the rights of their new posi-
ton. Those who object to female suffrage,
who say that woman's sphere is the home,
should have kept her there. Too late to
turn the key on her now-she is not at
