When not afflicted with the Big
Business strabismus the Globe
Democrat can see straight to the
point as well as anyone, rs the fol!
lowing indicates:
The vaccination uproar has
reached the inevitable point of
finding out that, while a school
board cannot compel vaccination,
it can prevent the attendance of
unvaccinated children. Some.
where there had to be found in or.
yanized society the right to protect
itself against the excesses of what
calls itself personal liberty.
The menace to the public from Il
possible smallpox epidemic follow.
ing IL failure to guard against it by
vaccination is only occasional and
transitory, but the menace to so,
ciety from the liquor traffic is an
ever-present one, and one which
causes a thousand deaths where
smallpox causes ono. Yet the
Globe can argue pointctlly for the
rights of society against "the ex-
cesses of what calls itself personal
liberty" in tho small danger and
then maintain that the right of
personal liberty is sufficient
grounds for the continuance of the
greater within the community.
We leave it to our readers to judge
If the Globe is not somewhat tan.
gled up in its own logic in the
position it holds in the mstter OF
the rights of society.

hope Of stemming the lead set by the
Democrats. With the Seventh dis
trict, including the city of Indianapo-
lis. going strongly Democratic, it is
thought the Republicans will not be
able to get majority of II in the
Joint assembly as has been predicted
before election This will make the
eturn OF Senator Bevsridge very un-
certain.
Marion county, containing the capi-
tai and largest city, has given a de-

The Discomfort of Railroad Presi
dents.

A couple of weeks ago we pub
lished al article from the New
York Sun at the request of the
management of the Iron Mountain
Railroad Co., which deserves II
comment thereon from US.
The purport of this article is 20
show that legislation-nationa and
statc-ls not being controlled in
their own Interest by railroad cor
porations.
Among other things, the article
goes on to say, that 1.-The discon
tent If practically every railroad
president in the United States is
sufficient proof that the govern
ment is not under railroad CON
troll and that statement is made
the foundation for an argument in
behalf of higher freight rates. Il,
is t. cur mind an exhibition If
sublime nerve on part Of The rn'!.
way presidents that their dissat's-
faction over the situation ought to
be pre- eminent 10 the dissatisfuc-
ton of the people who ''pay the
freight If we had a roster Of all
the railroad presidents of tie
United States we do not believe :, e
would find a one thereon who WAS
not classed among the multi mil.
lionaires. And yet they are dis
satisfied with the means that have
enabled them to secure for them
selves such stupendous fortunes,
and want the conditions more fav-
orabIe and the freight rates high
er, that they may be more content
under an increasing food of mil
lions to their Golfers.
As to the attitude of the Sun on
the question whether legislation is
being controlled by the railroad
corporations. the financial success
of those who are engaged in the
railroad business would indicate
that they have not suffered seri-
ously from legislation that has
slipped through despite of the pre-
cautiun cf The rnilr0ad lobbyist.
What gets past them ,l.ere is usual
" blocked in the courts, where
subservlent Judge are kind enough
to take care that railroad revenues
do not suffer from laws made tnr
the people that might affect the
swollen fortunes of railroad presi
dents. The recent example in
Missouri, where the railroads could
not prevent the enactment of the
twO-cent passenger rate law, u"d
had it rendered void in the su-
preme court, is sufficient proof
that the railroads have II pretty
good bulwark in protection Of
themselves. Neither has the ln-
tcrstate commerce law ever scri-
ously interfered with their favor
ed rates and rebates.
Just now the railroads are play
ing upon the sentiment Of HE rail
road labor brothcrhoot!s and have
had the latter memOria!ize the COY
ernment IN favor of permitting the
railroads to raise the rates. But
let any of The brotherhoods mem
orialize tho railroads for an in
crease in wages or shorter hours Ct
labor, what do they get! Wha,
the striking machinists on the Iron
Mountain are getting-an invit"
tion to keep off the grass.

Today's Markets.

Chicago Union Stock Yards, July
20.-While hog receipts were 5000
short of the estimate placed yester-
day, packers-what few were on the
market-had out their hammers and
at the opening they made dull mar.
ket at s cents lower than yesterdays
average, and it continued to be dull
all day and at the close prices had
slumped off Is cents from yesterday.
Workers. and pigs were the only
grades that did not suffer. They held
steady but there was not many Of
them. The top reached was $685.
same as yesterday. -.- f..
Cattle also suffered from the price
cutters and took a drop all along the
line of from 10 to Is cents. There
was nothing choice on the market in
any grade and this and not the cut
in hogs was responsible for the lower
prices.
In the sheep house there was a
splendid feeling among the buyers
and all seemed to have orders, and
prices opened from steady to 10 cents
higher and at the close we're Is
cents higher. The receipts we're very
light as compared with the estimate
yesterday and this undoubtedly caus.
ed the raise. The estimate was for
81 900 and the run was only $4,000.
The estimated receipts for tomor.
row are $4,000 hogs, 5000 cattle and
$4,000 sheep.
Before any increase in cattle prices
can be expected a much better grade
of animals must come to market. Buy.
ers and packers will not bid up on
the poor quality stun that is these
days reaching the yards.
Receipts for today, July 20, were
$4,000 cattle, 10000 hogs and $4,000
sheep, against 1882 cattle, 1906
hogs and l6.O67 sheep for Wednesday
