A TnoUomT FoR I'd. PARK.
Former Omaha Railroad Man Talks
without ThinZinG,
FshTa.a, TTrFbvwa


When a distinguished attorney ventures
the assertion that 100000 a day could
be saved In railroad operation and when
railroad men take up that statement for
public discussion In interviews and speeches
there are opened up many opportunities
for getting awkwardly II not enormously
al what the various disputants are trying
to say.
with this qualifying preface we turn
briefly 70 the yet briefer comment credited
to w. l. Park, vice president OF the Illinois
Central Mr.. Park gets within quotation
marks thus:
'Brandeis? whyl he's a joke. He
doesn't know what he is talking about
He's a fool"
That. OF course, does not annihilate
Brandeis One does not dispose OF Bran
deis with a feint and two punches. The
statement does not even fail within the
number OF convincing replies which might
be made 10 the attorney. 1t and Mr.. Park
would not need consideration II II were
not for the fact that he is vice president OF
the Illinois Central
That road. we believe. Is IN court with
the complaint that frauds involving ap-
proximately 100000 have been worked on
Il in four years. Mr. Brandels probably
would not make much OF this fact. He
would look al Il as incidental rather than
casual but IL should make Mr.. Park rumi-
native rather than declamatory.

Need of Laws to Prevent Price FixInA
Combination.
Cincinnati Enquirer,

ClnClnnAu enquirer
Notwithstanding the announcement OF
lower prices in q number OF the articles
which enter into household cost OF Twins
there IL a deep-sested public sentiment
that a combine or combines are preventing
the free action Of the laws OF supply and
demand in food supplies, Tho people OF
the United States should not have the
prices Of their food supplies, OF any line or
OF any character fixed by any combination
OF middlemen, or by any trade associations
or through the united action Of packers
wholesalers or retailers.
Those who manipulate for profit BY
creating temporary scarcity. whether by
storage or other methods of withholdinG
supplies from the markets of the people
are injurfng the nation and inimical TO the
interests OF our population.
The laws against such methods should BE-
promptly and persistenty enforced against
all offenders of this class until the people
Of every city, county and state are freee
from the excessive exactions OF such Shy
locks. The producer and the consumer
should be free TO deal directly as far as
1t is possible to do so; but where there
needs to be a middleman. as there must be
In cases, such middlemen should not be
allowed to check. to halt or TO withhold
the natural flow OF food supplies TO those
who desire to purchase for consumption.
There have been many evidences Of
manipulatlon-yes, Of ability to arbitrarily
raise and to depress the prices of the
articles OF food that are required in nearly
every home in the United States, That is
a power that should not be lodged in the
hands of either one or OF any other NUM-
Der Of persons, and the laws OF the United
States should be most active against any
or all persons who are engaged IN such
operations. sod
Prosperity can only be maintained in this
or in any other country by keeping food
products free from the avaricious demands
Of middlemen who would impovsrish the
consumers through their excessive exac-
tons their greed for undue profits proving
too heavy a toll from the daily or weekly
earnings OF the masses OF our citixens.

Love of the Flag.

Love OF the flag is part Of the deepest
consciousness OF men who served in the

OF this in Albany the other day yShen
Adjutant General Verbeok permitted one OF

ond floor Of the capitol 70 be opened 30
that an old soldier might touch the eoloru
under which he fought. He had been q
member OF the Nineteenth New York

Judge Norris again raises the ban
ner of Insurgency" and proposes to
rip things up as soon as congress con-
venes. Such a policy ought to be Of
great help to the democrats. It will
prevent the enactment OF any serious
constructive legislation By the repub-
lican party and leave all matters Of
importance, except the appropriation
bills, over to the body that will be d.
rected by Champ Clark and his CO.
horts. Such contamination is the
logical end of insurgency.
