drifted away from that republican
form of government guaranteed to
states by our constitution. We
have not kept pace in our govern
mental methods with forces which
have grown up and arrogated gov
ernmental functions. Happily,
however, thinking men of all classes
are paying more attention to these
new and larger questions, demand
ing regulation, and the promise of
their solution, | believe, will be
wisely fulfilled. Among the most
important questions are those relat-
ing to corporation. A corporation
is an artificial person with an i'm
mortal body and no soul. An in.
dividual is natural person with
mortal body and immortal soul.
While we cannot impair charter
contracts, fundamental law does not
permit that contracts should impair
national health or engender nation
al safety or morals. The obliga-
ton of a contract" cannot spell ma
tional destruction. We cannot and
do not want to get along without
corporations, but they must pre-
serve their true relations to the
state. They should be great in
dustrial engines for good. Great
men conceive and erect and manage
them. They are splendid economic
forces which in themselves are not
evil, promoting and destined to pro-
mote human welfare. We need
them in carrying on the world
business; and when men who are at
their head recognize the fact that
their splendid constructive and ex-
ecutive power, are simply the tai
ents" loaned them, to be used as
faithful servants should use them,
along the road Of human service
they will modify their present view
as to what constitutes wealth.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

The expected is going to happen.
The investigation committee will
give R. A. Ballinger, the secretary
of the interior, a certificate of good
character. 1t was to be expected,
for the chairman of the committee
who acted as attorney for the &C
cused official "bully-ragged every
witness for the government and
should have been kicked good and
plenty for his conduct, which was
in bad taste for a member of an in
vestigating committee. There will
be minority report made, which
for political reasons may go too far
in its structures of the secretary,
and possibly injustice be done Mr..
Ballinger.
1t is about time that Roosevelt
and Johnson, the colored bruiser,
who have been prominent in the
public press for some time, should
be turned to the wall" They
haye received more attention than
they deserve.
Col. Roosevelt is certainly very
inconsistent man. In Massachu-
sets he is aiding in the reelection
OF Senator Lodge, q representative
of the system" and in Indiana,
Senator Beveridge, an insurgent.
But no one need to be surprised at
anything Roosevelt does.
The Bible is being REVISED again.
Thus far, there has been over three
hundred revisions, and it is surpris-
ing that in all the revisions the lit
eral Interpretation has obtained
rather than the spiritual, except in
the Rotterdam translation of the
New Testament.

IN saving the passengers and crew
of the wooden steamer, the Grand
Republic, which recently caught fire
in a mysterious manner while 60
ing from Far Rcckaway to New
York. Howard, who was the en-
gineer, remained at his post when
nearly suffocated with smoke and
heat, and being nearly blinded, he
was obliged to be governed in his
work by the sense of touch. His
faithfulness and heroism in keeping
up steam and answering every call
from the captain was potential in
saving many lives and the vessel
from being destroyed. It was in
real life as i'm Bludsoe and a Capt.
Bill Mcclure combined. He is
richly entitled to a Carnegie medal
for heroism and far more praise
than many a man inmortalized, in
saving lives instead of destroying
them and saving property instead
of destroying it. Heis just a plain
engineer who never sought praise,
but did his duty, not expecting it.
There are carloads of nonsense in
the government Of this state. In
the first place we have twice as
many commissioner than are nee
essary. Tons of reports are issued
annually upon which postage must
be paid to distribute them. No
body cares for the reports, a half
Of which are probaly dumped into
the basement at the capitol to be
subsequently sold for old paper
a useless waste Of the public funds.
Our friend Frank E. McGovern,
who is a candidate for the repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination at
the primary election, is now depre-
eating the use Of money in political
campaigns. Two years ago, Frank,
who ct that time was a candidate
for the United States senate, spent
all the money he could scrape to-
gether in his efforts to secure the
nomination, which was all right
then but all wrong now. Being a
reformer. McGovern was an ar
dent friend of the primary system,
which made it possible for men of
means though "nubbins" to buy Of
flee to the exclusion of better men,
though they be poor. Take your
m edicine, Frank, you helped to
make the conditions.

TAFT, NOT LA TOILETTE THE
TEST

Senator Jonathan Bourne, IT,, of
Oregon, high priest of insurgen-
cy, in that brilliant, from-heart-
and-soul speech on Popular VS..
Delegated Government" makes a
curious admission regarding the
practical operation of the primary
law. He states it as his opinion
that his colleague, Senator Cham
berlaln, a democrat, received a
popular majority at the primaries.
not because a ma ority of voters be-
lleved that he should be elected,
but out of political pique and cap
rice, in an effort to nominate dem
ocrat SO as to put a republican
Legislature in a hole" The Ore
gon provision was such as to bind
the legislature to ratify the primary
result, and Senator Chamberlain
was elected. In Wisconsin the su-
preme court has distinctly ruled
that Legislators are not bound by
the result of the primaries.
In Wisconsis Gas in Oregon)
there will be many voters who will
vote in such way as to put the
next Wisconsin Legislature in a
hole" Democrats, knowing that
there IS utterly no chance to nom
mate their man, like the outs" in
baseball will take hand in the
game to muddle the ms" Sena-
tor Bourne bears solemn testimony
that such political horse-play was
practiced in Oregon. 1t is familiar
In politics.
1t is perfectly possible that the
popular vote for senator at the
primaries may be opposed to the
result Of the election of members of
the legislature.
Let every candidate for the leg
lslature declare clearly whether he
is a Taft republican or whether he
is an anti-Taft republican. If a
majority Of anti-Taft republicans
are elected then Senator La Toilette
may expect the endorsement of the
Legislature and reelection to the
United States senate. IF a major
ity of Taft republicans are elected
it would be statewide assinity and
political sacrilege to reflect Sena-
tor La Toilette, whatever the pri-
mary result is. The law does not
require Wisconsin republicanism
to make of itself national laugh
ing stock.
Let every candidate for the leg
lslature declare himself for or
against President Taft; for Taft,
and not La Toilette is the test that
is rucial.-State Journal.

Mrs. Littleton's first contribution To
the campaign was booklet called

through the district. II told proudly
of her husbands life from mountain
boy TO noted lawyer In explaining
her book, Mrs. Littleton said today:
IL did not write II particularly for
circulation in this campaign. My
idea was TO encourage young men by
showing how my husband was able to
get on despite the fact that he started
without either money or influential
friends. But some Of the people, read
1t and asked for II. and '1-have had
