| Ess WIND; MORE WORK.

Senator Badger and the other repre-
Sentatives of the federal Office-holders
in the legislature overestimate the i'm
portance attaching to their personal
titles, as witness the time spent in
Thursdays session on purely personal
matters. The senator threw fifteen ora
tOrical fits in fourteen minutes without
stopping 10 breathe because a pamphlet
Of the prohibition Republicans said he
attended a meeting of machine politi-
clans interested in arranging a deal
with the liquor interests whereby the
Republicans were to have cash and
votes in return for a promise to stifie
hostile legislation. The charge was not
made on the floor of either house, it was
not of record officially, it was not a
matter of legislation. yet the senator
seemed to think it was important
enough to warrant speech on a per
diem basis.
The only really important phase of
the senator's activities is the part he
plays in chloroforming prohibition legis-
lation. and that is important only as he
is carrying out the orders he gets from
his political bosses. Everybody under
stands perfectly that the machine cares
very little as TO the name of the senator
who does its bidding so long as it is
done, and the public would survive
comfortably if Badger or any other of
the offiGe-holders sUbordinates never
made a speech.
The legislature is supposed to finish
its business and go home next Thurs
day. but it will do neither. Tt has spent
so much time juBketing and making
speeches and killing prohibition that it
will be in session long after the day
set for closing, and it's work will be
crude and incomplete when it does adj
iourn.
A little more work and a good deal
less oratory would be much appreciated.
II the legislators have personal grew
ances to air, let them hire a han as
the prohibitionists did and say what
they Ike when they like.

the component parts OF a stage mob.
'Supes' have to be watched carefully
by those in authority behind the scenes
because they treat the whole thing as a
huge lark, and are always on the lookout
for chances to do mischief. Hence small
consideration is shown for their feelings.
Back and forth they are hustled like
sheep; they have little chance to see the
show.
But they always use great ingenuity in
lodging the dragonlike individuals who
watch over them.
Once a '-supe" succeeded in eluding the

THE SENATE AND STEEL TRUST,

The senate report on the PRESIDENT
action in permitting the absorption of
the Tennessee Coal & Iron company by
of tortuous reasoning. Seven members
of the committee on judiciary signed the
report declaring that he had no author
ity to sanction such a deal, but the
committees views were not an official
report. representing only individual
opinions. The lack Of full report was
due to the illness of Senator Bacon.
who was against the president
During the panic of 1907. Mr.. Gary,
president of the steel trust, consulted
the president about the absorption, rep
resenting it as necessary TO stay the
panic and save a big New York bank
which held the Tennessee company's
securities. AS a matter of fact. the
trust had engineered the squeeze which
caught its rival and was only taking
advantage of its helplessness. Mr..
Roosevelt said he saw no objection and
the greatest rival of the trust passed
into its control.
Only one question was involved In the
senate's review of the case. The presi-
dent either had the right to approve
the trusts action or he had not. The
law was plain enough, and it was equal
ly plain that the president had no
power or right to suspend the operation
of a law The conclusion should have
been simple and direct that the presi-
dent not only assumed wrongly an arbi-
trary power, put he tacitly sanctioned
a violation of the law,
Behind the report is the proposal to
prosecute the steel trust for violation
of the antitrust law, and that may &C
count for the committees tenderness.
The steel trust and it's president were
conspicuously influential in behalf Of
the incoming administration and the
Republican party during the last cam
paign. It is the one trust that has suf-
fersd no hint of prosecution at the
hands of Mr.. Roosevelt That is all
that need be said about it i'm explana-
ton of its immunity from molestation.

THE LOAN SHARKS.

While legitimate Indebtedness should
be protected in collection by law, the
extortionate robbery of the so-called
loan sharks ought to be made impossi-
BILE and the criminals who do the rob-
bling driven out of business. No defense
of them is possible either on business
or moral grounds; they serve no useful
purpose and they contribute much to
the decentralization of the salaried class,
besides imposing hardship and suffering
upon the innocent dependents of their
victims.
Senator Benner y. Smith has intro
duced measures looking TO suppression
of the worst evils. and these measures
should pass. 1t ought to be possible
to reach the business as a whole and
compe' some decency in its conduct,
even if it is impossible to abolish
usurious loans entirely.

AFTER LIFE OF PRESIDENTS.

President Roosevelt retires from his
exalted office while comparatively
young man and doubtless looks forward
to a longer lease of life than has fallen
to the lot of a majority of retiring pres
idents. John Adams, the second presi-
dent, lived over a quarter of a century
after laying down the cares of office,
but the average period of life of the
presidents after retirement is only
twelve years and ten months. The list
follows:
George Washington lived two years
and nine months after retirement
John Adams lived twenty-five years
and three months
Thomas jefferson lived seventeen
years and three months.
James Madison lived nineteen years
and three months.
James Monroe lived six years and
four months.
John Quincy Adams lived nineteen
years and served in the house Of repre-
sentatives.
Andrew Jackson lived eight years and
three months.
Martin Van Buren, lived twenty
years and four months.
William Henry Harrison died precise
~ one month after his inauguration,
April 4, 1871.
John Tyler lived seventeen years af-
ter his retirement
James X. Polk lived three months.
Zachary Taylor died in Office, sixteen
months after his Inauguration.
Willard Fillmore lived twenty-one
years after his retirement.
Franklin Pierce lived twelve years
and seven months.
James Buchanan lived six years and
eleven months.
