We print elsewhere, under the head

authority which should be read with
uncommon advantage at this time.
Especially do We commend its thought
full perusal to the honest but grievously
wrongheaded Senator from Texas, who
in his speech on Wednesday so gravely

see n man of Senator CULBERsON's fine
qualities affording such a spectacle. 1t
were better he left such task to col
leagues of less account and on whose
part similar manifestations are practi-
cally negligible.
The article furnishes particularly inter-
esting reading, too, when it is considered
in connection with the contemporaneous
celebration in Washington of the sur
passing of the billion mark In respect of
the gold in our Treasury. 1t is given to
relatively few minds to grasp the enor-
nifty Of a billion, and the ordinary imag-
ination is more agreeably stimulated
when it is expressed in terms of weight,
as, for instance, by tons. to wit: 1900,

same token 1t may be asked when and
where these crooks have been punished.
Governor FOLK comes TO US from the
burning middle West. Maybe he doesn't
know that people here have been asking
these Questions and have not yet found
au answer. IL may be different in Mis-
souri,, but 30 far as we have seen in New
York or in its nelghborhood the punish
ment Of crooks is about the same now
as it was a quarter Of a century ago
just as sure, quite az inevitable, equally
effective. What all this has to do with
'the depression in the industrial world"
caused by unrestrained invective against
property at large Mr.. FOLK does not
undertake to explain. Perhaps 1t is just
as well.
Meanwhile, since he has gone into
particulars, Governor FOLK ought to
tell us who the malefactors are and give
US a list Of those that have been pun
ished. We know Of some who have
acknowledged their shortcomings and
been rewarded with Opulence and favor.
We know of none that has been sent
to Jail In consequence. Business is de-
pressed, no doubt Any one can see that.
All over the land there is a spectacle of
dwindling values. But how and in what
fashion is all this the logical sequence
Of exposing wrongdoing and Furnishing

young State then created should abuse
instead Of merely using its newly won
strength. Thirty-seven years have since
passed without any unmistakable sign Of
an inclination to an abuse Of power.
Il is just thirty-seven years, however,
during which the German people have
framed and to a considerable extent
carried out their colonial programme.
During that period, which also has
witnessed the erection Of Germany into
one Of the greatest Of commercial and
naval Powers, she has acquired ex-
tensive possessions on the eastern and
western coasts OF Africa: she has OBJ
tained a part Of the Samoan archipelago,
the Caroline Islands and a part Of New
Guinea; and she has gained a foothold
on the Asiatio mainland by her lease
OF Kaochou Bay. II is difficult II not
impossible to reconcile a policy which
has had such substantial results in the

cies with the German Ambassadors

felt to be a necessity for Germany. 1t

believe that Germany needs no Colo

that there is nothing they >cOvet more
than Hollands colonial empire. We
must add that Baron SPEcK Won STERN
BURG does not explain satisfactorily
how Germany is to avert the pressure
of her population on her soil which is
caused by the annual addition Of 10000
inhabitants. Nevertheless, as we have
seen, his article il timely and interest

Governor Folk and the MaleractOrs


II Is entirely natural that Governor
FOLK OK Missouri should have a high
opinion Of reform. He reached an Office
by that route and Of course looks back
over his eager footsteps with gratitude
and admiration. But the Governor ought
to dissemble, at least to the extent of
speaking in general terms. In that way
he could pay tribute to the machinery
OF his elevation and at the same time
avoid embarrassing details. For ex-
ample, in addressing a distinguished
audience at Carnegie Hall last Tuesday
evening he said:
There are some who object to the exposure
OF WrOngdong on the ground that it hurts tho
city or state or injuries business"
But Mr.. FOLK, having made this rather
sweeping declaration, had not the wit to
leave it. Instead he went on:

The Genius OF Butts.

A new planet swims into our ken.
A new lit star flames in the southern
sky. The Hon. F. ZACCHEUs CURRY Of
Butts county wants to be a member of
the Georgia Senate He has cooked his
war bonnet, bristling with fiery feathers;
he has flung far his tomahatchet, and
all the plutocrats break out with goose
flesh as he yawps:
The day is upon us when predatory wealth

years.
1t makes my heart sick to see the disregard
of the rights of the plain people on the part of

There is sOme honest wealth which lives and
acts In accord with law, and IL should receive and
have that same protection which is due any law
abiding citizen"
So Alp answers Alp, Ocmulgee salutes
Potomac; and plutOphobia barks ex-
ultantly. Evidently the Genius Of Butts
ID a decent citizen. His intimate tele-
pathic union with the Genius Of the Uni
verse doth appear in this also:
MY heart burns with sympathy for the Farm
ers' Union, and whatever In their Judgment they
call for in the way OF legislation It will nnd in me

So the greater heart OF fire burns with
sympathy for the Federation Of Labor
and other labor unions with a supposed
lot Of votes, and whatever in their judg-
ment they call for in the way Of legisla-
ton, or exemption from law, finds in him
a champion and a friend. Laws are
made for arrogating. domineering and
predacious wealth.
The Genius Of Butts wants the Georgia
Constitution amended so that a law can
be passed -exempting from taxation all
farm products so long as they remain
the property Of the one who produced
them Special privileges for unions Of
farmers and laborers; smash all other
trusts: this is an old and favorite plat
form, especially in the West and South,
and we're it not for the intermeddlinR

laws embodying that noble principle
would still be on a number Of State
statute books. But let us go on with

ME- ROOseVclt's Inscrutable Cerebra-
tiOns.

The Improvement Of inland navigation
for the moment enchains Mr.. RoosE-
vELTs mind, and he devotes 20 it that
intense cerebration which DIR. ALLAN
MCLANE HAMILTON describes as result
ing in a display Of fictitious mental
brilliancy. As a matter of fact, Mr..
ROOSEVELT never was more brilliant
than he is in this his latest essay.
He finds that @unregulated railroad COM
petition prevented or destroyed the de-
velOpment Of commerce on our inland
waterways and that it should not be
allowed TO continue unless under careful
Government regulation.
Had the railroads been duly ~regu-
lated the traffic on the Mississippi
would not only be unimpaired but would
have shown a healthy and progressive
growth. We do not see how, without
gross disrcspect, this proposition can be
wrought out to a sane or logical demon
stration. Perhaps the President is suf-
ficiently lucid where he says the success
ful development and use of our interstate
waterways will require intelligent regu-
lation Of the relations between rail and
water traffic" We dare not be profane,
but we see the finish Of that rail traffic.
The gravity and the import of this
charge can escape the attention Of none:
~The rivers Of no other civilized coun-
try, says Mr.. ROOSEVELT, ARE so poorly
developed, so little used or play so small
a part in the industrial life of the nation
as those of the United States" In
every other civilized country il costs
three times as much to haul a ton Of
merchandise a mile as it does in the
United States. "Unregulated, brutal
competition has brought this about;
and it must be admitted that the Presi-
dents sOlicitude for the waterways is
little belated. The regulation Of the
railroads should have begun when the
rates were a cent a mile instead Of a
mill a mile. However, there can be
no doubt whatever that an intelligence
like Mr.. RoosEvELT's will grapple this
problem and solve it.
There Is nothing that more clearly
demonstrates the supreme necessity of
regulating" the railroads than this
comparison Of transportation cost in the
United States with its cost in other coun-
tries. 1t is three times as high in Great
Britain and the railroads there are alb
solutely under Government regulation.
Moreover, every railroad in Great Britain
is bankrupt, hopelessly and irretrievably
bankrupt. Never, elsewhere in the
world, were human initiative and indi-
vidual enterprise wrought to such an
apogee of futility and degradation as in
the case Of Great Britain's railroad
system.
Well, let the good work go on. 1t is
already we'll under way. 1t enjoys the
appreciation of tho whole multitude.
Mr.. ROOSEVELT asks for a bond issue to
enable him to reconstitute our inanimate
interstate waterways. He will get it.
Having already reduced the market
value Of railroad properties some five
billions Of dollars, it ought to be easy
to make a clean job Of what is left. Only
give him bonds enough and applause
enough and there is no ascribing Of limits
to what he will accomplish, especially
in the way Of long vacations for Mr..
GoMPERs's downtrodden followers.

THE PRESIDENT NO DRUNKARD.
Spirited Defence by HIS Friend DIR. Albert
Shaw,
From ne American Review Of ReStsUs.

From he American Review OF RepieODs.
Those who live In distant parts Of the coun-
try and have no direct means Of finding out
for themselves would be astOnshed II they
could but know the state Of mind that has
now for some time prevailed in the financial
district Of New York city. President Roose-
welt is one OF the most wholesome and normal
personalities in public life. He is temperate
and abstemious to a marked degree. With
sound physical health and a clear conscience,
he never worries, he always sleeps well and
he faces his days work with a clear eye an
unexhausted fund OF vitality and a ready
zest. Yet Wall Street has persuaded itself
that Mr.. Roosevelt. Of all men, is an inebriate.
and that his messages and public utterances
are inspired by alcoholic potations. Fur
thermore. Wall Street has circulated this
story all over the country. The small fry
in the financial district OF New York, being
OF limited mentality and easily gullible-and
also being emotional and mercurial, as be-
longs to the speculative temperament-hAve
been readily persuaded into believing that
MIR. Roosevelt is a drunkard, an insane man,
a victim Of nervous prostration and malev-
olent demagogue. The New York mood
against Roosevelt is like nothing except the
"COpperhead" bitterness against Lincoln In
1898 and 1894 There are many excellent
men in New York business circles who would
like to be fair and who are much surprised
to be informed that MIR. Roosevelt does not
drink, is not nervous and does not write his
speeches and messages In spirit Of wrathful
ebullition.
