wise Senator, Mr. Earle, has stopped

the House without dissenting voice,
and passed two readings in the SEN

gave notice that he would amend it
on third reading, and sure enough
ne did amend-by striking out every

when it came back to the House for

The Berkshire IS, no doubt the
Oldest and most widely known of any

and took charge Of one Of the largest

DEMOCRACY THE ANTIDOTE.

frequently since General Grant
was candidate for third term, we
have heard of the ''man-on-horse-
back" as a fear of what will some
time happen in this Republic. That
dread has now seized the minds of
many people through the evident in
tention of Theodore Roosevelt to
make himself master of the Repubii-
can party. They fear that he is a
candidate for third term, and if
elected then for fourth term, and
thus gravitate to the man-on-horse-
back. This dread of usurpation by
any man should not disturb any sens
ible person. The patriotism of the
great majority of the American
people would rebel against any such
attempt. and any coterie or party
who would endorse such movement
would he smothered under an ava
lanche Of opposing votes.
There is but one danger to guard
against, and that could only be i'm
minent in consequence of a long war
with some foreign nation in which a
great and successful general would
be developed, without whose efforts
defeat would be probable; or if de-
feat occurred he would seize the
reins of government in consequence
of the exhaustion of the civil power
following an overwhelming disaster.
But there are no grounds for fear
ing such catastrophe. In the near
future it is probable that, as the
people gain more power, both the
army and the navy will be reduced
instead ofbeing increased as the Re-
publican leaders have long desired.
Those timid souls who dread the
future, and those who imagine such
a vain thing as usurper, can rest
assured that the great mass of the
people of the United States will
stand firm for the Constitution and
the laws based upon it and De-
mocracy which is founded thereon.

SERIOUS ARMY CONDITIONS.

The Republican party has been
spending an average over $O5, 900, 900
year on the army of rs, 782 men,
and yet Inspector-General Darling
ton in his annual report declares
that present conditions are the
most fruitful source of professional
disease" In one department nearly
a third of the line officers we're abb
sent from duty. One inspector points
out a whole battalion of artillery
starting for the Philippine service
without a single field officer, and one
of the batteries commanded by
second lieutenant of less than two
years service.

ious situation that may at any time

THE family row between the ex's
and the It's in the insurgent-progres-
sive fight in New York state is be-
coming interesting. Teddy wants to
swat the vice-president and Taft, the
president, seems to see no objection
to his use Of the Federal patronage
for that purpose. Roosevelt played
at that game himself in 1908 to make
Taft, and now the latter appears to
be returning the political family debt.
But the success Of Roosevelt may
mean the downfall Of Taft. strang-
er things have happened. Third
term phobia seems to be consuming
the colonel.

PANICS MADE TO ORDER.

A hint of how panics are made to
order is contained in Henry Clews'
latest financial letter, under date of
Sept. II, in which this eminent
financier says:
THE most disturbing feature in
the market at present is the political
situation. All indications point to
liberal Democratic gains in Novem-
Der, and possibly a Democratic Con-
gress after the next session. The
present strong drift towards RADICAL
ism is not much relished in financial
circles, especially as there is every
prospect of more or less radical legis-
lation when members elected next
November take their seats. Perhaps
a sharp outlook should be kept upon
the political horizon, for squalls are
not improbable. Not infrequently
the politicians consider 1t good tao
tics t. create scare; and there have

Judge Lands, who fined the
Standard Oil company SEQ, 600, 900
for rebating, only to have the action
reversed by a higher court, is eyident-
ly one of the, too few Federal judges
who are not inclined to permit great
corporation to do things that individ-
uals would not be allowed to do.
Judge Landis instructed the Federal
grand jury at Chicago not to ihdict
a mere alias, End the advice was
acted upon. As a consequence true
bills were found against the head
officials, as individuals, of ten great
packing houses, on indictments

lead to disaster. That our army IS
far below mediocrity in marching
capacity-though well-trained in the
use Of the rife, but the men and the
gun would be useless unless they can
be placed in position in time to be
Of service is the opinion Of inspect
or-General Bell.
The great trouble seems to be the
detail Of officers to other than their
regular duties, such as to teach mill
itary tactics At colleges and schools.
An army Of so, OOOin first class con-
dition is all that IS necessary in these
times Of peace, and with the Dem
ocrats controlling the next Congress
there should be q thorough invest
igation Of the army and its reduction
to that force.

A great victory was won for De-
mocracy down in Arkansas as well as
up in Maine. Less spectacular be-
cause unps rtisan, the Arkansas re-
suits were none the less important.
Arkansas, as is well known, is a SOL
id Democratic state, and it is not in
the partisan significance but in the
broader, better sense that we speak
of the victory for Democracy there.
Arkansas on Tuesday Joined Oregon
in restoring the power Of government
to the people, by adopting an an end
ment to the constitution of the state
which provides for the initiative, the
referendum and the recall. Incident
ally, the adoption ofthis amendment
proved that Mr.. Bryan is still strong
in the confidence of the masses OF
his party. Mr., Bryan spent several
DAYS in the state, making magnif-
cent campaign in behalf of the
amendment. His enemies hoped to
prove, by defeating the measure for
which he commended, that his pOpul-
arity is gone. They made ofthe fight
a test of his influence. They hoped
to bury this Organism" under an
avalanche OF ballots. But the ava
lanche buried them instead of Bryan,
Arkansas made great step forward
in the sisterhood of states on Tues
day, when, by decisive vote, she
declared for a government of, by and
for the people.

4 conspiracy III restraint Of traS$S
Eight Of the ten came into court and
furnished bail for appearance for
trial; the other two being abroad
cannot be reached unless they choose
to return and face trial.
Judge Lands based his demand
for the indictment Of living, breath
ing men instead Of aliases on the
following terse and logical argument
IL John Jones should call himself
John Smith or THE Metal Fabric
eating company, . and under one Of
these names, should manufacture
copper plates for printing counter
felt money, the inquest Of a grand
jury would not be complete until the
unlawful act had been traced to the
offender concealed behind the aliases
and the real counterfeiter had been
indicted. Indeed, in the supposed
case nobody would think Of pros
ecuting THE Metal Fabricating
company" why, then in a case Of
conspiracy to restrain trade, should
courts and district attorneys concern
themselves with the fatous, antiquat
ed and quite unnecessary fiction that
corporations are legal personsf Why
should they pursue an alias instead
of the flesh-andrblood men who
actually commit, or direct, the uu-
lawful actsi''
Judge Landisis on the right track.
Crime is personal and must be treat
ed as such If ''big business" is TO be
prevented from penetrating, or be-
punished for, criminal acts. WhenS
the heads of trusts and combinations
become convinced that they cannot
escape punishment by hiding behind
their corporation charters, the peo-
pie will cease to be oppressed by
the crimes of such aggregations of
individuals. More power to Lands
and all other judges of his stamp.

TRUTH ABOUT MAINE.

Sufficient time has now passed to
get the truth from Maine. Anthem
tic reports snow that the Democratic
victories there were not won princi-
pally upon state and local issues as
the Republican leaders have tried to
represent The most prominent
issues were;
Failure of the Republican party to
fulfill its campaign pledge to revise
the tariff downward, high cost of
living, Cannonism, Haleism, ques-
tiors pertaining to prohibition.
The democratic congressional can
didates promised to investigate and
expose the following:
The cost of living as affected by
the tariff and trusts.
Extravaganza in government ex-
penditures.
The part played by Mr.. Wicker
sham in the sale of friar lands in the
Philippines.
The amount of money Cortelyou
and other cabinet members squeezed
out of plntocrats for campaign pur-
pose when Roosevelt ran in 1904,
and how much Hitchcock raised for
Taft four years later.
The efforts of the trusts and syn
dicates to grab timber and,mineral
lands and water power sites and
Ballinger's relation thereto.
The reasons why President Taft
joins the Guggenheims in denying to
Alaska territorial government.
The influences behind the rubber
schedule, cotton schedule and wool
schedule of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill.

in promoting the plundering of the
civilized Indians of Oklahoma by
