The Indiana Senatofship.

John w. Kern loses bitterly. He charges
his defeat for the senatorship to an I'M
fair combination, and some of his friends
specify that the combination was COM
posed of temperance forces and brewery
forces. Mr.. Kern promises detailed
statement at later day, with the double
object of explaining matters to the pub
lie and of showing to the men who &C
complished his defeat that they did not
deceive him at any stage of the game.
Whether 1t Is good politics or not, that
Is very human attitude. It may be,
however, that after the smart of the re-
suit has eased little, Mr.. Kern, bethink-
ing him of his party and the future at
home, will decide not to put Mr.. Shively
In the pillory. If Mr.. Shivelys commits
sion Is formally blown upon his influence
will be impaired.
While the combination of temperance
advocates and brewers is unusual, not to
say startling there can be no just COM
plant of the brewers. They but conun-
ued the tactics they pursued in Indiana
all through last years campaign. 1t was
common knowledge-at least matter of
daily charge in the press and on the
stump-that the brewers and distillers
were supporting both the state ticket and
the national ticket of the democratic
party. They particularly desired the cleo
ton of democratic governor and legis-
lature, in order that the temperance pro-
gram In the state might be frustrated.
Things came their way, to the extent of
the governor, and the legislature on joint
ballot. The republican majority in the
senate was more than counterbalanced
by the democratic majority in the house,
and this insured a democratic senator to
succeed Mr.. Hemenway.
Naturally, when the time came for choos-
ing the senator the brewers resumed their
activity. They probably reasoned that as
they had helped make the body demo-
cratic on joint ballot they were entitled
to voice in the senatorial contest And
it must be admitted that the reasoning is
good Accepted as allies in the legislative
contests. why should they not have had
a voice-not to say chorus Of voices
IN the senatorial contest
Here is where Mr.. kerns complaint, or
rather the complaint made by his friends,
is weak. AS vice presidential candidate
ne profited by the activity of the brewers.
and was glad to do SO. The combination
not, it is true, succeed in carrying the
state for Bryan and Kern. but it reduced
the republican majority materially below
the figures of the previous presidential
race. Mr.. Kern will have TO show that,
after supporting him for Vice President.
the brewers should have supported him
also for senator. And that will not be
easy.
Mr.. Kern says with much force that the
result of the Indiana contest is another
good plea for the election of senators by
popular vote. A popular election would
not have kept the brewers out, but they
would have been obliged to show their
hands SO plainly no startling combination
later would have been possible. Nearly
every thing nowadays relating to the sub
ject supports the proposition OF taking
senatorships out Of the old style legisIa-
tive Juggling.

Open Shelves in the Public Library

From Golfers Weekly.
AT Washington, District Of Columbia.
the Public Library is working away
from fiction by making other volumes
more accessible. In 1o03-19O4, when no
books except fiction were on open shelves
for direct access, fiction formed nearly
81 per cent of the total circulation Grad
ually during the last four years more
and more books from non-fiction classes
have been put on open shelves and more
and more guidance has been given to
readers requiring assistance, with the re-
suit that the fiction percentage has been
reduced to IS. The effectiveness of open
shelves is shown by a little collection
of books of biography kept in one corher
of the open-shelf room. 1t comprised
about one seventeenth of all the volumes
of biography, and yet It furnished almost
as much circulation as all the rest of
that collection.

SUMMER TRIPS AFFAIR AND NEAR

Summer days are coming fast. Already vacation days
are being discussed in the home and in the office, and in a
few weeks the annual exodus country, seashore and noun
tain will have begun.
America abounds with delightful summering places, in
valley, on mountain and beside the sea-thousands of resorts
whittier wend the pilgrims in search of pleasure and recreation.
Pennsylvania Railroad ticket agents now have on sale
excursion tickets to the greater number of these resorts;
by the first week in June there will be about eight hundred
points covered by Pennsylvania Railroad summer excursion
tickets.
From the ~rock-bound bays of Newfoundland to the
sunny slopes of the Virginia shoes; from the White Mountains
OF New Hampshire to the Cumberland Mountains of Ten
nessee; along the forty beaches of New Jersey; even to the far
coast of the Pacific Ocean, these summer resorts stand ready
to entertain the transient or all summer guests.
Any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent will cheerfully
give information concerning routes and fares to these resorts,
enabling summer pilgrims to plan their outing at minimum
of time and cost.

Temperance LEGISLATION

Most every state legislature that has
met within a year has has enacted some
law which marks the advancement of
some morals in regards to the drinking
and sale of intoxicating liquors. Some
have enacted prohibititory laws in re-
CARDS TO its sale, while Kansas has
made it a crime to possess liquor for
personal use.
Nebraska enacted a law which pro-
hlbits The sale OF liquor between s p. IN.
and Z a. M. Most drinking takes place
sn saloons at night, and the hour of
opening does not give time TO get drink
before working hours.
New Jersey enacted a law Which
authorizes municipal authorities to APP.
point a committee to forbid the sale of
liquors to drunkards. The Jersy City
Journal in speaking of it says:
When Senator Hillery was speaking
Tor his bill to create local boards of pro-
tectors for drunkards, he said that
habitual drunkards are comparatively
lew. In small communities aad rural
sections every resident can name allthe
drunkards in their town or village and

Drunkenness is not increasing, rather
the contrary, as any one Of mature years
car testify. 1t is bad form even with
the faster sets to overindulged.
In spite of this there is a movement
under way to establish inebriate homes
for the treatment of drunkenness as a
disease. No doubt alcoholism becomes

NO TARIFF NEEDED

The Worlds Greatest steeImakers,
Carnegie and Schwab, Declare That
American Labor Is Really the Cheap
est n That the Steel Industry Is
Ready For the Competition of the
World.
The foremost men of the iron and
steel industry in the United States
have declared publicly that steel needs
no protection whatever; that the man.
ufacture of iron and steel is actually
no longer an 'infant industry" but
able to stand on its feet and compete
with the world.
No one disputes Andrew Carnegie's
pre-eminent ability in steel manufac-
ture and knowledge of its conditions
In his article in the Century Magazine
Of December. 1908, he states unequivo-
cally that the time has come for free
trade In iron and steel products. He
says, "The day has passed when any
foreign country can seriously affect
our steel manufactures, tariff or no
tariff" And again In the same article:
'The writer has co-operated in making
several reductions as steel manufac-
turers became able to bear reductions.
Today they need no protection unless
perhaps in some new specialtieS TN
known to the writer, because steel is
now produced cheaper here than any
where else Notwithstanding the higher
wages paid per man. Not a ton of
steel is produced in the world at as
small an outlay for labor as In our own
country"
Carnegie Advises Payne.
Carnegie also appeared by request at
the hearings by the ways and means
committee while the Payne tariff bill
was being prepared and gave the mem
bers some plain truths. He told theI
to use their brains and not take the
figures as to cost Of production submit
ted by interested parties, saying: 'They
are incapable Of judging justly. No
judge should be permitted to sit in a
caus in which he is interested, and
you make the greatest mistake In you
life If you attach Importance to an In
terested witness. You would not do 1t
In a court of justice, would you" And
again, "There are as many ways of
figuring costs as there are of skinning
a cat" And he added these significant
words: "It> is not possible for the
world to compete with the home pro-
ducer. But l agree with the president
elect (TafD that the effect of a tariff is
to render easier combinations raising
their prices to an excessive degree be-
yond what they could do under free
trade"
Payne Favors the Steel Trust.
Payne and his committee listened to
the suggestions of the steel trust and
reported a merely nominal and inef-
fectual reduction in the steel schedule.
These reductions would not bring low
er prices, except possibly in the case
of steel rails. And the senate has In
creased the Payne rates on various
items in the steel schedule more nearly
to the Dingley figures. This is for the
profits of the trust. of course.
