FACTS ABOUT THE COMET

Many people are now beginning to
report that they have seen the comet,
and it is daily growing larger and
more brilliant. Ii is now rising as
early at it will, and from now on Il
will rise later and later, till late
next week It will pass over 10 the
ether side OF the sun, and be visible
in the evening
just before this happens, the Earth
will go thru the tail of the comet. II
the tail Is thir cen million miles long,
as IL is likely to be. There is hardly
a chance that anything will happen
on the Earth which will let us know
when this time comes. The same
thing has happened many times be-
fore, and no damage has result ed.
The tail is simply a body CT thin
gas. and while some Is poisonous,
people on Earth will be protected BY
the air from suffering any damage
The stories that The come, will hit
the earth are preposterOus, and all
astronomers agree that there is not
the slightes. danger. o her ssoTies Cf
all kinds are printed, but no reput-
able scientist is ever referred to as

We have heard a good deal In the
last few months about the control
which the trusts have over our gov
eminent. IL has been shown that
they have more influence than all
the common people in the making
OF tariff rates, II is hin ed thai they
can prevent certain actions by the
Department of Justice. and they GER
ainly have had grea1 deal 20 do
with framing the corporation tax law.
In the last few years they have pre-
vented the passage Of many laws. and
have greatly delayed he passage OF
many o. hers. There is no doubt that
they have Influence"
Nor does any one doubt that their
influence Is bad for the rest Of us.
The laws they have opposed have
been the ones moss needed 40 pro ect
the rights OF the poor people, the
laws they have fought for have been
the ones which made Il possible for
the very rich men 10 swea little
more out OF the general purse. The
tariffs they have secured have in
creased the prices of the things We
all have TO buy. Their Interference
In the department of Justice has
prevented the poor man or the small
dealer who came In contact with the
russ from getting his rights. in
short. they have been using so much
OF he government as they wanted.
and are really ruling this great coun-
Try. And just so far as they do this,
we are no longer free people, for
a free country is one that is ruled
by he people, and wi h US the trusts,
instead. rule the people.
Now. it is evident that men still
have the RICH. % voc, and that the
men in the legislative halls, and on
the judicial bench who are betraying
the interests of the people 10 the
trusts, were elected by the votes of
the people. Therefore 1t is impossi-
BILE for some men to see that the
coun nv is not as free as ever. Every
man casts a free vote, they say, and
so "the people rule"
Men who say such things have new
er thought carefully abou our form
of government. They do not under
stand that 1t is possible for a few
people TO sell the freedom OF all the
rest. and tho they know all the facts
about the way our freedom Is being
sold. they do not put those facts to-
gether in such way that the dan
ger is plain to them.
Let us turn aside for minu 10
consider the facts about popular gov
eminent. The first one, of course, is
that every man has his vote, so that
when the people really are aroused
by anything. they can by their woes,
get what they want. That is, they
can elect the men they want. This is
really the only advantage that popu-
lar government has, and there goes
with II the fact II the people are
not aroused and do not choose wise

Crisis in Regard to Taft's Policies at
Hand insurgents Amending Bills,
but Taft Does Not Mind Very Much
Regulars Without Organization
Bailinger Still on Stand.
Washington, ID. c.,

May z, 1910.
The critical time is al hand in the
fight of Pres. Taft for the measures
which he wishes to put thru Congress.
He has had bills framed in what he
believes to be fulfilmenU Of the Rep
,blican party platform, and has made
such con, s>s'on~ as seemed necessary
to get the Cannon and Aldrich crowd
who did control Congress, to pass the
Ineasa.e.. Tie Insurgents, too, have
II somisst hin tneiI support for the
passage o. the measures 10 carry out
the pat orm, but now that the final
tine Is a. hand, 4 seems as if nei her
party was going to keep the whole
of its promises.
For a long time it has been the Z.
& A. crowd that delayed action. When
they finally got the President 20
agree to such changes as they wanted,
they began to put a railroad regula-
ton bill thru. Then they suddenly
discovered that the Insurgen did
not consider that their promises would
keep them from amending the bills.
Also, the s and-pas found that they
did not have enough votes to keep
the Insurgents from making some of
those said amendments Sometimes tbs
Regulars have won, but mere often
they have not, and 1t now appears
that they can never be sure what will
happen on a vote. They are with
out effeci i've organization.
The result has been that the bill
has been changed out of all resemb-
lance to its original shape. The In
surgents have cut out a great many
provisions which they do not like,
and which they believe are against
the interests of the plain people. But
as the smoke settles a lit lie, II is
found that they have not cut out the
things that Mr. Taft thinks mos, i'm
portant. The newspapers have some
Of them been making a great fuss
about the treason" of the Insurgents,
and accusing them of fighting Tat,
but it is pretty clear that they are
only fighting the trusts, and tina. II
Taft has been hurt It has only been
because he got in the way. AS
matter of fact, he has not been hurt.
While he thinks some of the things
he Insurgen have done are not
wise. he is no; by any means ready
/ a Of ha
the fight against them by TAT which
some friends of Aldrich have been
predic ing will not come Off.
Just now there is a truce while
Cummins and Dolliver are out West
for a few days. In the meanwhile the
final struggle over the bill will be
! held up. They will get back about
next Thursday. and from then en-
loud fireworks are expec ed.
What has actually happened 10
the bill is this. The measures planned
by Mr. Taft was considerably changed
to please Aldrich and others friendly
to the railroads. They convinced the
President that certain provisions
could be insered which would help
the railroads without making 1t any
harder for the rest of us. SO the
bill was started with these changes.
But the Insurgents both in the House
and in the Senate believe that these
changes would be harmful to the
common people and have set to
work to prevent them. One House

liam Randolph Hears; has gone on

him made by Mayor Gaynor of New
York at a banque, of the newspaper
men of the country there some weeks
ago. The speech contained serious
charges against Hearst, and he was
allowed no chance 10 defend him
self He is now engaged in bring
ing libel suits against all papers that
printed the speech. Already sixteen
suits have been begun against papers,
and damages of 100000 in each case
are asked. Similar suits have begun
agains. some individual editors, and
the Associated Press is asked for
100000. Looks like Mr. Hearst
might be a rich man some day.
