To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
My friend, Mayor Wittpenn, OF Jer-
sey City, one of the several candidates
for the Democratic nomination for
governor Of the tight little State OF
New Jersey, has unfortunately stopped
over" In his comments on President
Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton Univer-
sity, who, he asserts, Is backed for the
g~ubernatorial nomination by the repre-
sentatives of the trusts
Friend Wittpenn may be forgiven be-
cause of his youth. He has made a
good record as mayor of Jersey City,
but If he "slops over SO easily in the
campaign for the g~ubernatorial nomi-
nation the Democratic voters will have
little confidence in his Judgment as
governor should he be nominated and
elected. His allegation that President
Wilson is being doomed by the bosses,
friends of the trusts, is an insult to
every one OF the graduates of old
Princeton and every Democrat who
wants to see the party OF Jefferson,
Jackson, Tilden, Seymour, Joel Parker
and Cleveland back in power again in
the nation and in New Jersey. Friend
Wittpenn, don't talk so loosely in the
future. AN ADMTRER.

a WORLD p TRUST.

m WORLDS copper trust has been formed in London by Ameri-
~ can copper interests, including the Guggenheims and Au-
gustus Heinze. Production is to be restricted and prices
maintained to pay fat dividends and allow for big SURPRISES to be
divided at intervals. Copper enters into all kinds OF manufactures
and is largely used in the building trades and in construction work
generally. and the price of raw copper seriously affects the cost of
construction of all kinds and the prices of thousands of articles in
common use. This country has large deposits of copper and the
output at the mines should insure cheap prices for the people. But
prices are now high because the mining companies have a largely
inflated capitalization that dividends must be paid on by the con
sumner. A world trust will put the consumer more completely at the
mercy of the mineowners.

A Methodist minister advertised in
New York yesterday for a job as a
night Waterman or a timekeeper. The
advertisement epitomizes a situation
concerning which a great deal Is being
written. In a number of the magazines
recently ministers. through the medium
of 'transcribers," have been telling
flrst-person stories of their struggles
with the cost of living. 1t seems to be
the consensus of opinion Of these writ
ers that ministers in the United States
are underpaid. Some OF them admit
that ministerial salaries are kept down
because the supply Of ministers greatly
exceeds the demand. They would make
every candidate for the ministry meas
ure up to a higher scholastic standard.
The situation in the Cr1ppen MUIR
der case is now q remarkable one.

The nomination of Warren @. Hard
ing as gu~bernatorial candidate in Ohio
can hardly be expected to arouse much
enthusiasm at Oyster Bay. The
triumph of the forces aligned against
the Progressives in Ohio is not an en-
joyable spectacle for the sage of Saga
more Hill. even though 1t had not
been his desire that Representative
Longworth's name go before the con-
vention. Indeed, there seems to be a
growing tendency among Republican
State organizations preparing for the
fall campaign to care very little about
what might or might not please Mr..
Roosevelt.
The prospect that the Maine will.
after all these years, be raised. is a
little brighter. Wrecktng companies
who knew. of the limitations of the ap-
preparation voted by Congress have
asked for the job. Compared with the
former inactivity, preparations for the
work are being rushed now, as a board
of engineers to survey the wreck is to
be appointed this week. But it is un-
wise to get unduly excited until the
work is actually begun.

@ ENATOR CUMMINS,a of Iowa, is doing some very interesting
talking in Kansas, and he is talking plain and indisputable
facts. He is showing the people of Kansas some or the
REASONS for tbe high cost of living and for the growth OF colossal
fortunes that have come into existence in the last fifteen years
Senator Cummins does not attempt to conceal the fact that hlgh
nr;ces and tbe accumulation of this enormous wealth in the hands
of a few individuals are coincident with the rule of his own party
in the national government. The Iowa senator takes for one Illus
tration the steel trust. In 1901 the trust paid $ooO'Oo0OVo u Gar
nerie for his plant, the highest value of which, according to expert
investigation. was $50 100000. Why was the excess of S42O,O0OOOO
paid? Because of the plants immense profits. Into the capltallza
ton W injected $80O,000000 of water, and the people are paying
dividends on the whole capitalization of $1,5O 0OOO,OO0. Tariff and
other legislative favors at Washington, with freedom to make
monopoly combinations, were the means afforded to give dividend
earning value to the vast stock water of the steel trust and con-
vert 1t into actual wealth at the expense of the consumer.

Favcrs Moving Pictures of Fight.
10 the Editor Of the Evening Star:
AS much Is being said about the re-
cent great prize-fght, both r and
con, as to the advisability OF Its rep
resentation Nv moving pictures, 1 think
an analysis OF the subject, as to Its
merits or deperits would not be amiss.
In the first place, II Is conceded that
the opposition to this publicity by
newspapers and moving pictures Is en-
tirely one-sided and ~prejudiced and the
result Of ~jealousy Of the black man
winning, n that IL the white man
had won there would have been no
hard feelings ~engendered and no OPP
position to the moving pictures or
newspaper accounts Of the fight.
Heretofore many and much greater
lights have occurred with full and
graphic accsnnts Of the same In the
newspapers, and even, in later years.
their representation by moving-pic-
lures, and no objections then were made
as to their Influence upon the morals OF
the people; but then the combatants
were all white, which e to show
that the prevent opposition is nothing
less than race prejudice. II the fight
was conducted fairly. which is &C.
k~nowledged, why not let the winner
black or white, have the benefits OF the
victory peaoeably?
These brutal fights have been de-
clared unlawful and prevented in most
of h States now, no doubt, by the
publicity Of them in bringing their bru
taiity wildly before the public eye
whereas otherwise the public would
have known nothing about them, an6
that class Of roughs and brutes would
have been left to carry on in secret
their nefarious calling among them
selves unmoaested.
The sooner wrong-doings are exposed
the sooner they are suppressed. Show
the public the brutality Of these fights
by the newspapers and m~oving-pic
lures, and it will become Disguised

which will lead to the entire suppress
sion of prize-fighting.
AS to the ~demoralizing influence upon
children and youth, that can be easily
prevented by not allowing minors ad-
mittance to this kind Of shows, and as
to their causing riots, that can also
be prevented by the proper officials of
any city.
BY all means show the pictures and
receive the benefits that the revulsion
will produce and lead to the absolute
extinguishment of prize-fighting.

"s17, 900, 600 to Cheat Bryan Voters"
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The passing of William Jennings
Bryan as a political leader, which was
emphatically done at the Democratic
State convention in Nebraska, his own
State. Ia practically the close of a spec
tacular political career. A brilliant
speech al a Democratic national on
vention-"the cross Of gold speech
made him in half IN hour q popular
idol. He was nominated for and all
but elected President of the United
States in his frst campaign. The
Standard OIL Company and other
trusts and railroads bought up the cleo
ton boards of seven States and cheated
Bryan out Of the presidency.
l knew well the broker through whom
the money was sent to the seven States.
Tom Lawson. in his expose in Every
body's Magazine, wrote that there were
five States bought. There were seven,
for 1 saw the proofs in the brokers'
office in Wall street, New York, and
I heard him tell the. story at his
Brooklyn home. The money was car
ried to his office in seven satchels by
Standard OIL men, and he was told II
was a stock deal and that he was to

cities. Afterward he learned the truth
and it was the cause of his death, FOL

A STATE TAX, DIRECT AND INDIRECT.

c1 HE suggestion is made that because of the loss to the State
of about $500000 of revenue from the collateral inheritance
tax law by reason of the recent court decision the Legislature
next year will have to assess a direct tax on the people. That was
indirectly done by the Legislature of 1909, when the State appropri
ated a large revenue belonging to the counties. The same indirect
way of taxing the people is open to the next Legislature, for there
are more school moneys that can be grabbed to faten a depleted
State treasury. Indirect taxation is always better favored by gov
ssnment than direct taxation, for obvious reasons.

MR.. KATZENBACH EXPLICIT.

TIA RANK S. KATZENBACH, in his speech at the outing of the
Mercer County Democratic League at Trenton yesterday,
made more plain his attitude regarding the party nomina-
ton for governor. Mr.. Katzenbach neither seeks nor wants the
nomination, and while he would deem it a duty to accept if the
nomination came to him he would be much happier without it. Ac
cordingly it was his wish that the party would find another candi-
date. In party nomination a man of Mr.. Katzenbach's character
cannot entirely eliminate himself from the choice of a convention,
but the decIination of Mr.. Katzenbach leaves other equally avail
ahla candidates
