who will bring him an authentic
reply from Walter l.. Hensley, the

Still, the question is pertinent. and
it should be a matter of importance

Among other things the Wis
consin Republicans in their state
platform demand physical valua-
ton of the railroads. 1t will be
remembered that Senator LoFol-
lette tried hard to get an amend
ment in the railroad regulation
bill passed by the last session of
congress that would require such
a valuation, but railroad opposi-
ton to this amendment was so
strong that it was defeated. The
railroads will fight to the last ditch
to prevent the people from finding
out just what the railroads Of the
United States are worth as tanqi-
BILE property. They are beginning
to sec the approach of the time
when the government will absol be
the railroads and want to turn
them over at a valuation based up
on an inflated capitalization. Ia
other words. the public treasury is
to be robbed of billions when the
transaction finally comes to pass.
However, public sentiment on this
robbery question is changing and
by the time the people get ready
to own the railroads they will
either put their own price upon
them or will quietly con6scate
them without compensation.
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1910-10-05

You will observe III the daily
papers that the transcontinental
railroads are advertising rate
from St. Louis to the Pacific coast
of $32, approximately one cent per
mile. We may assume that they
are making a profit from this busi'
ness at that price or they would
not be doing it. In travelling from
St. Louis to California any road
having this business will take you
through Missouri as far as Kansas
City at the same rate it charges
for the whole distance, but if you
buy a ticket from St. Louis to
Kansas City only you will have to
pay fully twice as much. Evil
dently there is something to be
questioned in the assertion of rail.
road men that they cannot carry
passengers at profit on two'cent
per mile rate.

That The New York Rennhlican

That the New York Republican
state convention would endorse the
Taft administration was. of course,
not only foregone conclusion,
but generally acceptable to all Re.
publicans but the most radical in.
surgents. While the latter are to
some extent condemnipg the pres
ent tariff law, the truth of Presi-
dent Taft's assertion that the pres
ent business system of the country
rests on the protective tariff, must
be admitted by every sensible man,
be he Republican Or Democrat.
Any attempt to disturb this foun.
dation by a general reduction of
tariff duties must inevitably dis
turb business severely, and when
business is disturbed the wage
Garner feels this disturbance not
only first, but he is also the one
whom it will affect most seriously.
The present disturbance in the Re-
publican party has shown that the
dominant element of that patty is
not averse to bringing about low
er tariff duties along conservative
and business like lines, and for
that reason it is far safer to trust
that party with the reins of gov
erDment than it would be to turn
them over to the Democratic par
|ty. The whole tone of the Demo-
cratic press indicates that that par
ty has committed itself to free
trade, to open to the consumer the
cheapest market regardless Of who
supplies the market.

Freedom of Action.

One of the Republican senatorial
candidates advanced a welcome
note in the course of a speech at
Springfield yesterday.
This speaker declared that be
reserved the right to criticise any
public servant who did not per-
form his duty, though be were a
member of the speakers party.
Continuing, he said: II some
times insurge, | sometimes stand
pat; but l am a Republican all the
time"
The man who can sometimes
''insurge," and who also knows
how to "stand pat" is the kind of
man who can nelp.
The mistaken belief that there is
any glory iu ''insurgiug" or in
standing pat" merely because the
one or the other of these courses
happens to be favorlte party pol
icy, has led to great deal OF
trouble of lste. aad has brought

The revised statutes of Missouri,
just being issued, make three
books, weighing sixteen pounds.
Of laws there are 1876 pages,
and 1926 pages of appendix, con-
tanning index, etc. This vast
amount of statutory matter is
largely the result Of lawyer-made
laws. We would undoubtedly be
much better off with fewer statutes
and more law enforcement. But
it is the policy of our lawyer. dom.
mated legislatures to tangle US up
in legal procedure that tends to
keep on swelling the voluminous-
ness of the statute books. What
we need is less legal formality,
and more plain law and prompt
justice, all of which we are getting
farther and farther away from.

Brewery Editorials.

There appear good reasons to
believe that some of the daily pa
pers in the cities are peddIing out
their editorial columns to the mil.
lionaire brewers. During the past
few weeks their editorial columns
have been full of the shameless
falsehoods with which liquor advo.
Gates are accustomed to defend the
breweries and saloons with their
waste Of the peoples money, their
defiance of law, their filthy politics
and their frightful traffic in young
girls and boys.
The sale of editorial space or
expressions is a disgrace to the
name of journalism, and papers
that value the slush funds of the
breweries above the principles of
common honesty are Unworthy OF
the support Of good citizens.

Germ Theory IN Divorce.

Gradually but certainly the
rights and privileges of man are
being curtailed by his better half
in the matrimonial compact.
Time was when the domicile of
the wife followed that Of the hus-
band, but the records of the courts
iu recent years are diverging from
the precedents of earlier times.
Within the last few years there
have been several cases of the ex.
ercise of local option by wives. 1t
is practically established now. ac-
cording to many students of social
conditions, that a woman will live
where she likes and if her husband
wishes to live with her be must 60
where it suits her.
And now a mans pernicious
habit of carrying germs around
with him has been accepted by II
California court as ground for d.
vorce. According to the records
in the case, Mrs. Elinor Milbank
Anderson Tanner had S25. ZOO, 900,
girl baby and hatred of germs.
Until recentlv she had husband
who seems to have bad anold fash
ioned notion that he bad some
partnership interest in the child.
Mrs. Tanner proceeded to build
a germ proof nursery and to issne
an ultimatum to the effect that the
husband should not come into this
safe and sane habitation, reekine
with germs he collected on the
streets. He violated the terms OF
bis wife's decree. She produced
the germ theory as a cause for di
vorce and was sustained by the
courts. The ancient Juggernaut

In the vernacular of the cowboy,
the St. Louis Post. Dispatch is
plumb peevish when it gets onto
the subject of ex.President Roose'
velt, it cannot abuse or misreprs-
sent him enough. The reason is
not political, however, it is due al
together to the fact that Roosevelt,
while President, urged the indict-
ment and prosecution for criminal
libel of Joseph Pulitzer, owner Of
the Post. Dispatch and New York
World, on account of certain ale.
gations Of graft in the French
American Panama canal deal.

The Democratic state platform
charges HadIe1's administration

The Democratic state platform
charges Hadley's administration
with extravaganza, yet it fails to
mention tie fact that the Demo.
cratic state senator's, who control
ed in that department Of the Iegis-
lature, employed seven clerks dur
ing the last session for each Demo-
cratic member, when one to each
senator would haye been morethan
enough. Many of these clerks
simply figured on the payroll,
they never even reported for duty.
This is a sample of Democratic
economy which, during the long
regime of that party's power in
Missouri in past years led to the
ooting Of the state school funds.

The People Coming to Power.

These are the days when the low
er of his country begins to realize
that the direct primary is the de.
struction of the power Of the boss
es. And shortly all good men will
see that direct legislation is the
means to prevent the control of
the privilege. based interests. The
way is clearing for the getting in.
to the hands of the people the con.
troll of the taxing power. When
they secure that. they will not tax
the result of their own labor, but
they will tax into the public treas.
ury the wealth which is the result
Of the growth Of the country and
the activities of all. Soon they
will oot have to wait upon CON-
missions to grant them relief.
They will themselves decide what
to tax and what not to tax and
they will then elect officials to exc
cute their will in that respect.
There be some people who think
that the courts will yet find q way
to stop the initiative and referen-
dunn. When the courts do that,
it will be a defeat of fundamental
democracy a denial of the exist
ence Of supreme power in the peo-
pie, and then we shall ''hear some-
thing drop. st. Louis Mirror.
