The psmocratio Ponition.

Norman e. Mack, who speaks in the
dual capacity OF chairman Of the demo-
cratic national committee and also
editor OF what he calls a democratic
national magazine, adds the force of
his official authority to the notice
that the democrats in their fight for
control Of the next house Of represent
atives will show no more favor to so
called insurgents than to any other
brand OF republicans. The democratic
position Is that Of opposition to the
program OF the president as the party's
legislative policy. This, in Mr.. Mack's
opinion, is the democratic opportunity
and the interjection of Cannon and
Cannonism Is regarded by him as
merely incidental. To quote his own
words.
Here. them Is the democratic opportun-
ity. Joseph q. Cannon. as speaker of the
house of Representatives. is no better
or no worse than his party policy. If
DalEeil, or Payne, or Alexander, or any
other republican leader were in the seat
Norris OF Murdoch we have no doubt he
would enaeavor with the same ruthless
hand to carry out the same vicious poll
cies of government for which Cannon is
now condemned.
Chairman Mack here makes 1t dis
tinotly understood that no republican
need expect anything Of the democrats.
The democrats hope to gain by differ
ences within the republican ranks, and
the democratic minority In congress
will omit nothing to foment such diff
ferences. To achieve this purpose
these democratic congressman would
as soon ally themselves temporarily
with the regulars as they would with
the insurgents. II the party division
in this county we're graded off as 1t is
elsewhere, for example, into radicals,
socialists and conservatives in addi-
tion to republicans and democrats, the
democrats would tie up with any one
Of them to pave the way to democratic
ascendency.
When the issue comes to be drawn
then there should be no masquerading.
1t will be the republicans phalanxed
behind President Taft and the admins
tration presenting a constructive pro-
gram on one side, and on the other,
the democrats against everything pro-
gressive and promising only to block
the march Of the national advancement
of prosperity.

A Joker in the Deck.

The offer submitted to congress in
the name of John e. Ballaine of
Seattle. to pay so cents a ton on all
coal mined on the first choice of 5000
acres of coal land in Alaska looks
mighty good, and is without question
a great improvement over the $40 an
acre which would be paid by entrymen
under the laws as they now stand. A
royalty OF so cents a ton on the best
5000 acres in Alaska would doubt
less yield several hundred thousand
dollars, but when the same rate is APP
piled to 10000, 0,OOO,OOO tons of coal
said to be contained in the Alaska
fields, with an ultimate revenue to
the government of $4,000. 900, 900 1t
looks like stretching it some.
When person inquiries into the Bal
laine bid closer it disoloses a small
sized joker in the deck. The bid is con-
ditional. not only on first choice of
the best 5000 acres IN Alaska, but
also on a guarantee that no other coal
oudAl OH hihCu III AAdbAd HAlnOut pay
ing. at least. SO cents a ton royalty
to the government. II is possible that
all the coal in Alaska might
pay so cents ton royalty, and then
again II is possible that comparatively
little Of II can pay that much. If tho
coal mined at the greatest cost is
marketed to pay so cents a ton
royalty, then the coal mined at the
least cost on the best 5000 acres
marketed at the same price, would GER
tainly yield a munifieent profit The
Joker in the Ballaine bid would be
about the same as II some one offered
to pay 100000 a year rent for the

PULL ON RAILROAD PROFITS.

Chicago News

Chicago News.
Everybody knows that the Pullman COM
pany is profitable concern. It's net earn
ings are very large. In order to dispose
of the surplus 1t is found necessary to
make extra dividend disbursements from
time to time. There was such a disburse-
ment in the form of a stock dividend in
1906, the sum involved then being about
S26 100000. The close of the last fiscal year
showed a surplus above regular payments
OF over S,O0O,O0O. Reports are in circulation
that another "melon" is to be cut by the
Pullman company In the near future.
Recently the public has had striking
proof of the large earnings of express COM
panies in excess Of their regular dividend
payments to stockholders. Not long ago
one express company made disbursement
of surplus amounting to 800 per cent on
the capital stock.
Sleeping car and express companies make
1t their business to take over certain func-
tions Of the railroad companies. They
render service which the railroads would
be obliged to perform directly If they did
not farm 1t out to other agencies. The
enormous profits of the express and sleep
ing-car companies, therefore. represents ex-
cessive charges for forms Of railroad
service. Perhaps preference should be made
also In this. connection to the private-car
service furnished, by concerns like the
large packing firms, which supply refrig-
orator cars and receive compensation for
their use.
When the attempt is made to reduce rail-
road Charges it is asserted that the rail-
road business is not as profitable as the
public Is led to believe. Perhaps one ex-
PLANTATION is that the cream is SKINNED off
the business by affiliated corporations that
In the past have, escaped public scrutiny.
Hereafter the government in it's attempts
at railroad regulation should treat the
business as an entirety, taking cognizance
of the corporation rendering public SER
vice in connection with the railroads, like
the express and sleeping companies
and the concerns operating refrigerator
cars, as well as Of the carrying corpora
tions themselves.

Boulevarding and street Paving.

The Park board Is again being be-
set with applications to order various
boulevards paved and pay for the same
out of the park funds. The theory of
the Park boards jurisdiction is that
any improvement Of boulevard, after
once laid out, is to be made at the ex-
pense of the city, while the cost of
paving streets comes back upon the
owners of the abutting property bene-
fited This theory is based on fairly
sound principle because the pavement
of street Is for the chief advantage
of the adjacent property owners, and
the use of boulevard is general for
the people of the whole city.
This applies, however, where q
boulevard is really a boulevard and
not merely misnamed stfeet.a' We
have had instances where streets have
been labeled ''boulevards" temporarily
in order to get them paved at common
expense and then have become streets
again as soon as the abutting property
owners, who should have been
specially assessed, had escaped their
obligation. 1t goes without saying
that whenever one group of property
owners get a street paved out Of the
park fund it works an injustice on
other property owners who are then
called upon second time TO pay for
the neighbor's paving.
It is quite likely that each case
must be considered by Itself, and on
its own merits. The Park boards
troubles in this respect arise from the
fact that bad precedents have already
been set. While there is no use cry
ing over split milk, for the future the
line should be definitely and strictly
drawn between what is street and
what is a boulevard, and street pave
ments should be paid for by special as
sessment on the abutting property,
and not by diversions of the park
fund.

The change from the policy of sale
to the policy of royalty In the distribu-
ton OF mineral and coal lands stu
embraced in the public domain is
going to bring the government tre-
mendous revenue as compared with
what It otherwise would get. But to
us the conditional bid of Ballaine as
the basis for figuring a revenue to the
government of $1,000. 1000, 900 out Of
the coal deposits in Alaska is going
pretty strong.

WISDOM OF MIR. TAFT.
Demand for FuIfillment OF Repub-

Minneapolis Journal
without Identifying himself with either
regulars or insurgents, but sturdily main
tanning his position as the leader of his
party. President Taft has kept steadily to
his path down the middle Of the road. He
has not allowed congress or himself to
forget that the party has made certain
pledges to the people that must be kept
From that duty he has steadfastly refused
to be diverted, and he has tactfully made
1t evident to the leaders In congress that
they must support him in passing the
measures promised by the republican plat
form.
The senate, which usually dawdles along
while the house is perfecting the appro-
priation bills, has, through the smiling but
pertinacious efforts of the president been
reused to the realization that there Is no
necessity for such waste OF time, and that
1t ought to and must get busy on the ad-
ministration measures. 1t is now predicted
that the senate will have several OF these
bills ready for the house by the time the
house gets through with originating money
bills. 20. ,-..- ~
The insurgents, who had visions OF a, long
and sorappy session OF the house, In which

BILE for the organization have been brought
by Mr.. Taft to see that their first duty is
to legislate, and to legislate in accordance
with party promises The organization, on
the other hand, is eager to DO the presi-
dents bidding, even though some of its
leaders are fain to make wry faces over
some Of the items in the presidential menu.
Speaker Cannon has been told by his best
friends, by the men who have stood by

sentiment OF section that was supposed
to be as solid for the Danville man as it's

The trend Of events is thus setting in
strongly in the direction Mr. Taft has
steadily and sturdily urged. The president
will ultimately demonstrate his worth and
his power by effectuating the legislation
he has promised. Those who have doubted
him and worse will have to revise their
opinions. Daily he looms larger In the
publio's confidence and affection.

PENNIES AND RURAL POSTAGE.
Changing n Custom Common on
RuraI Routes.

Occasionally a figure is quoted In our
national affairs that emphasizes the mag
nitude of the country. The latest of this
kind is the statement that during the last
year approximately SOO.OO0OOO pennies were
taken by rural free delivery carriers from
the boxes on their routes where they had
been deposited with letters in lieu of
postage stamps, in accordance with a rule
permitting the patrons of the routes to
post letters in this manner That means
that 150000,00O letters were written and
posted in the rural districts In twelve
months for which the writer's had no
stamps at hand. Considering the COM
parative lack OF epistolatory enterprise on
the part Of rural residents this is a sig
nificant item. 1t suggests that the rural
free delivery stimulates correspondence.
Nevertheless the postal authorities find
that the deposit Of pennies in the boxes
tends to delay the collection and delivery
OF the mails and consequently instructions
have been issued to all rural delivery post
masters informing them that after the
18th of February the practice will be dis
continued. After that date the farmers
will have to buy. stamps There will prob
ably he much grumbling, but eventually
the change will be beneficial

FARMS WILL BE MORE POPULAR
Present Agitation Likely to Check
Rush to Cities.

CleNelanu Leader
The great prominence given the rise in
the market value of food staples and the
increase In the. cost of living, especially
emphasized and criticised in relation to the
food supply of the average American
living in city or town, is bound to have
its effect upon the growth and prosperity
or rural districts. 1t win be felt particu-
larly in the country, within twenty miles
or so of large cities, because such districts
viii appeal with more force than more re-
mote counties to those who are used TO citv
life, or are hungry for it. Unless all signs
fail, there viii be better demand for
farms, large and small, in all parts of the
country, than there has been in many
years
OF course, o large number of men who
say that they are going to raise their own
food and sell food to others instead of, de-
pending upon the markets to meet their
needs, henceforth, viii lose their enthusi-
asm for the country before they try to
work out their theories of the wisdom Of a
radical change. The majority will go on
making the best they can of town life and
its burdens Some. however will stick to
their purpose of moving to the country
There win be a certain proportion of farm
buyers left out of the host of city workers
who have become deeply dissatisfied with
their general condition and outlook
Another effect OF the heated and gen
eral discussion OF the cost OF living will
be the checking Of the constant inflow OF
young men and young women to the big
cities from the farms. Many a youth,
balancing between farming and the chances
OF the cities. will be decided In favor Of the
country by the outory which has gone up
from the victims of high prices in the great
centers of population He win realize
better than he would have done IL Il had
not been for the prevailing Agitation how
much the burden Of providing food. shelter
and clothing increases when city prices
have to be paid and city conditions ae-
cepted.
Altogether the effect is bound to be
shifting of the balance between town and
country which win be favorable 10 the
farming districts. There will be a stronger
market for farm lands and better supply
OF labor to cultivate them as the result
OF the sharp rise in the cost Of living In
cities and towns. Rural America never
fuced a brighter future.
