If it be true, as it contCnded by
some of the papers, that the result
of the presidential election in 1908
released all democrats from ale
glance to the democratic platform
adopted at Denver; then by the same
process of reasoning they all stand
now pledged to the principles enun-
ciated in the republican platform
adopted at Chicago. In othcr words,
the result of an election changes a
man from a democrat into a repub-
lican. The absurdity Of such a
position would be reflection on the
intelligence of those who defend it,
if any one believed that they were
seriously in earnest.

Brussels, October 24--New atrocities in
the Congo Independent State has been re-
vealed by an officer Of a rubber company.
He charges that between 1907 and 1909 a
number Of the company's agents tortured
and killed many natives, armed sentries,
chained and imprisoned the natives to
force them to work, and burned villages.
The minister Of the colonies has ordered
an inquiry.
How long would it require for these
Congo negroes to undergo a change Of mind
to such a degree that they could listen to
a missionary talk with composure, es-
pecially when the missionary Is a brother
Of these rubber "pat-a-roles". Between a
''pat-a-role" and the devil it is nip and
tuck with a negro, and when the pat-a-
roles brother comes as a missionary he
may expect q cold reception even if it is in
a hot climate.

GERMAN GOVERNMENT
May CONTROL POTASH
Bill to be introduced in Reichstag Pro-
viding for Regulation Of
industry.

Berlin, Oct. 21-The completion OF con-
tracts between the German potash mines
and the American fertilizer companies at
prices lower than those Of the syndicate
has influenced the i'm perial ministry of the
interior to prepare bills for Submission to
the reichstag with the object Of creating
a government control over the potash in
dustry.
The legislation proposed would prevent
the filling Of American contracts at prices
contracted by the Americans who have
placed orders covering q greater part Of
their requirements up to 1917.
The regulate export prices by placing a
tax upon potash exported equal to the diff
ference between the government schedule
and prices as fixed by the mine owners
when free oflgovernment control. In order
to prevent sales abroad or at home at
prices below the government figures, the
legislation would place a producing tax or
potash production when it has exceeded
the government allotment.
II these measures should be adopted
America, which takes about go per cent, OF
the potash exported, would be obliged to
pay monopoly prices. The American in
terests here are concerned over the situat-
ion and probably will make representations
concerning it to the state department at
Washington.
