Beveridge and the Larger Good

The high quality of "A Ger
tain Rich Man by VIM. Allen
White will incline many readers
to sympathetic view OF its au-
thor's analysis OF the senatorial
situation in Indiana at the pres
ent time printed in yesterdays
issue of the Star. 1t outlines
an impressive yet a depressing
estimate OF Americal politics. Let
us hope that his picture is over
drawn.
Mr. White believes that Indi-
ana is to be the scene this year
OF some such struggle as his fas-
cinating and illuminative novel
depicts in such powerful style.
The big interests under the lead
of a man like Senator Aldrich
wish to- continue the control they
Sc long have exercised in our ma
tional affairs to their own bene-
fit They can not brook indie
pendence of Thought and action
in public men. They expect to
dictate tariff schedules, currency
laws railroad legislation. If a
man dehes them, he must be de-
stroyed.
In Mr. Whites novel worthy
mem and noble women were con-
tinually being sacrificed to 1.-The
Larger Good" a phrase that re-
spectacle hnanciers and pompu-
Gus statesmen use to describe the
success of the great game they
are playing, with human lives and
human happiness as pawns on
the board and the schemes OF
powerful corporations as the
prize. The honor of man, the
virtue of women, the future des-
tiny OF children-all are ruthless
" trampled down by the great
combinations between high hnan-
ciers and powerful politicians.
1t is Senator Beverldge's turn
this year, Mr. White thinks from
his Investigations at Washington
and New York, to be sacrificed
Ito the larger good" To this
end there will be set at work, he
says, influences of tremendous
potency and scope, in financial
and business circles, throughout
the manifold, subterranean agen-
cies that INSCRIPTIONS politicians
in both parties we'll know how to
utilize, and even in the social
realm where emissaries of the
system are tirelessly and cum
ningly at work.
Let us hope that Mr.. Whites
picture is overdrawn. 1t is hard
to believe that organized priv
flege really works so, ruthlessly
and universally as this, or as to
is depicted in Mr.. iWhite's great
novel, to say nothing of the other
books and plays on which this
generation has been feeding for
the last few years. One does not
like To think that here in Indi-
ana men and women could be
found to engage in conspiracy
of the sort; for if it were under
taken, it would be discovered and
exposed; and exposure could on
Nv result in a defeat for their
plans, which good citizens, re-
gardleSs OF party would be eager
and proud to join in bringing to
pass-Tndianapolis Star.

After the election of Andrew Jack
son to the chief magistracy Benton be-
came the right arm Of that great presi-

Benton made effective Jackson's ulti

passage OF compromise tariff bill

of fighting, but satisfied nobody.

Jackson's greatest battle was
against the United States bank, which
he declared must either be put out of
business or 1t would run the govern

senate. He brought up the question
in 1881 by submitting a resolution to
the effect that it was not expedient to
re-charter the bank. The war against
the bank ragged fiercely for years. It

tanned the support of a number of
members of congress, as was shown
later by investigation, through what
amounted to brazen bribery in the
way of favoritism on loans. In the

was triumphantly reelected Shortly |
after this Jackson made an order with |
drawing the public funds from the
bank. This precipitated a tremendous
public uproar and the senate adopted
resolution censuring Jackson for
the act. Benton Immediately began

the record, and finally, in the last days
of the Jackson administration, the mo-

and the resolution of eensure was ex-

drawn around it and across it's face
the words: "Expunged by order of the
senate, January 16, 1887" Jackson

was to control the legislature which

the remaining years of his life set
steadily against him. Yet at no time
in his career does Benton present a
more inspiring figure than when, with
his back to the wall, crowded on every
side by foes, he continued to battle for
the principles he believed In. By COM

have regained his seat in the senate,
but he would have lost the love and
admiration due the brave man who
prefers defeat with the right to vic

with the masses. He seemed egotis-

him 1t was merely exaggerated self

The Mystery of a Duel.

Having fought his duel and saved
his honor by firing shot in the air,
the editor of a French provincial
newspaper went back to his desk and
the incident had quite left his mind
when he felt something strange in
his thigh. He looked and found that
he was bleeding profusely.
A doctor was called, who discov-
cred that bullet was embedded in
the editors thigh some two inches
deep and required extraction. "Why
was this not taken notice of on the
spot where the duel took place."
he asked. The editor was as much
in the dark as the doctor At the mo-
ment Of the duel he had fired into
the air and his adversary also took
a distracted sort of aim There had
evidently been no intention of doing
the slightest harm on either side
The editor felt nothing as he left
the field and had shaken hands with
his antagonist as a sign of reconcilia-
ton. How bullet came to be lodged
in his thigh was simply one of the
mysteries of dueling.
