Complaint is heard in different quar-

He subsequently returned to the cars

vanished. This is but one OF several
similar incidents which have beeu re-

The Eighteen Year Period.

In this crisis a glance at the forma-
ton Of other parties may be illuminat-
ing. The birthplace Of the Republican
party is claimed by many cities, like
that Of Homer, but the general YER
dict is that it belongs to Jackson,
Mich, and that the date was July g.
1854. The issue was opposition to the
repeal Of the Missouri compromise and
to the extension Of slavery into the ter
ritories. Over a million votes were
polled for Fremont two years later, and
Lincoln was elected in 1860. Each
eighteen or twenty year period since
has seen the BEGINNINGS Of a party

in earnest; that they could not be in
Inundated, fooled or sidetracked. They
have insisted that they were fighting
within their party, but some of them
have added significantly that they
were being driven out.
In the early ffties prominent Wings
and Democrats also insisted that they
were fighting within their parties, yet
in 1854 they began moving in a body
to form new party. Has history
ceased to repeat itself? Is there not
now an equally fundamental issue in
volved? May not the very logic Of
events force these men into a new Or
ganization, whether they will or not?
Has not the presence Of the special
interests in politics already created
an actual division, as pointed out by
Halbert, even though it is not clearly
recognized or named? Issues make
parties, and is there not here a big
enough issue to compel a political re-
alignment?
1t is we'll enough to gloss these
things over, but the wise man does not
dodge facts. Are the facts as stated
by Pinchot? If so, is there any way
to conserve popular rule, is there any
way to drive the special interests out
Of politics, except for those who favor
the people and who oppose the special
interests to get together? Will not
this very getting together constitute a
new party in the nature of the case:
Is there any escape from the conclu.
sion?

that reached considerable size. In
1874 the Greenback party was formed
in opposition to the retirement Of gov
eminent paper money. The labor forces
Joined it, and four years later it polled
more than million votes, but was
gradually absorbed by the Democratic
party. Eighteen years later the Peo-
pies, OF Populist, party was formed,
polling over a million votes in it's
first campaign and well on toward
100000 in the congressional elec-
lions Of 1894. 1t revived the Green

ed the government ownership Of rail-
roads and telegraphs. In 1896 and
1900 it supported Bryan for the presi-
dency and, like the Greenback organi-
zation. was absorbed by the Demo-
Gratis.
The eighteen year period has again
elapsed. Today we find every element
present that was in existence in 1854,
1874 and 1892. The insurgent and con-
servation movements are not only or
ganized, but are limiting at independent
political action. Old party lines are
broken down. The labor forces have
already taken political action in con-
gressional elections and are ready to
move nationally. The farmers are or
ganized as they have not been since
the old Alliance days. High prices
are profoundly agitating the people.
Vast bodies Of voters are not pleased
with the latest tariff law and are deep
ly resentful of the presence of special
privilege, political bossism, graft, brib-
cry and the trusts in politics. Have
these things no meaning?
AS yet we have had but the faint
mutterings. Will the storm break?

Garfield Seconds Pinchot.
In backing up his friend Pinchot'
statements lanes e Garfiald Said.


In backing up his friend Pinchot's
statements James r. Garfield said:
The man who will steal public property
should be treated the same as the man
who steals private property. The man
who steals a public franchise is equally a
thief with the man who steals chicken,
and we must learn that Incorporation
manager who steals from the public is
only fit for the penitentiary.
Conservation means the wiping out of
unjust monopoly. Regulation Of the great
corporations is necessarily a part of the
great conservation idea. We must con-
serve our political liberties.
l believe am right in saying that many
OF these corporations have been great
controlling influence in our political life.
We have for four years demanded legis-
!atlon OF congress which would conserve
1he coal of Alaska and prevent it's being
stolen. We have not been needed
We have had enough Of that cry Don't
disturb the business interests!' and Of
that policy of LET well enough alone"
Such statements coming from such
men either mean something or they do
not. Pinchot and Garfield were the
particular chums of Roosevelt, and
here in a Roosevelt club we find the
names of the three men coupled. More
over, Pinchot had come fresh from an
interview with his former chief. If
these facts are not significant, then
this writer knows nothing Of political
signs.
OF even more moment is the insur-
gent movement in congress. Men
like La Toilette, Cummins, Dolliver,
Beverage, Clapp and Bristow in the
senate and Norris, Murdoch, Poindex-
ter, Hamilton Fish and Fowler in the
house have shown that they could be

Have all these forces been engendered
only to be dissipated by a breath, or
are they beyond any mans control?
Trust Issue Has Divided Country.
An examination of the situation in
the insurgent strongholds suggests an
interesting question. In iowa, for ex-
ample, the regular element succeeded
in renominating Carroll for governor
and in controlling the state convention,
although the progressiyes, increased
their vote and beat J.. A. T. Hull for
congress. A strong convention Of anti
La Toilette Republicans was also re-
Gently held in Wisconsin. In case their
states should turn against them where
would Cummins, Dolhver; La Toilette
and their followers go? Would they
not be forced into a new party? Nor is
the condition. confined to the west. In
surgency has appeared in New Eng
land and New York, where the Hughes
primary reforms have been beaten by
the regular machine. In New Jersey
the new idea" is still strong, and
Representative Fowler. a house insur-
gent, recently bid open defiance to
Senator Kean and the organization.
With the Republican congressional
committee sending out ammunition
against all Of the progressives and
with the president refusing patronage
to at least portion Of them, how can
the breach be kept from widening until
at last total split results?
As for the labor unions, they have
long been on the eve of taking nation
al Independent political action. The
Farmers union in the south, which
claims millions Of members, is pre-
.cluded by its rules from going into
politics as an organization, but there
is nothing to prevent its members from
doing so. Altogether the situation is
pregnant with possibilities The cor
poration Issue has already divided the
country into. two vast camps, the line
Of cleavage between them being much
more real than that separating the his
toric parties. In the very nature of thu
case must not this actual division find
political expression in progressive
and conservative party formed alonf
these lines?
