while interest rates are advancing
and money is tight.
"The politician is not concerned
about any Of these circumstances ap'
parently. Unless he is exceptionally
good he is only concerned in rela'
ton to holding his job and getting in
to the lime light.
"The amazing thing is that the
newspapers are willing to cooperate
with the politicians In an effort TO
bring business to a standstill. NOW
and then a merchant feels that bust
ness is not what it should be, yet ne
is unable to explain it. The politician
will tell him that he needs more
politics, while he feels confident that
he needs more business. More politics
means less business.
1T must be remembered that the
politicians income does not depend
upon the condition Of the business OF
the country. The perpetuity OF MS
job depends upon his causing the
people to forget business and TO
think of politics.
1T is sad but true" the Capital
adds, that Des Moines and all Iowa
are at present feeling the benumbing
influence of politics.

TAFT AND THE DEMAGoGuEs.


I'm these days when so mucn
political capital is made out OF the
abuse Of corporations in particular
and men of wealth in general says
the Denver Republican, ut requires
no little courage to arraign the dema'
gogues as President Taft did in his
address In st. Louis before the Bust
ness Mems league" The Republican
adds:
"The assumption of peculiar honesty
by those who resort toy class declara'
tions and pretend that all men VINO
succeed in business are under
suspicion ought surely to be deprecat'
ed. It has no justification in fact, Tor
the men who thus assume to nave
monopoly Of honesty are no better than
the class they assail. But vigorous
denunciation of others often is accept
ed as evidence that the man doing the
talking is himself strictly honest and
worthy of confidence.
What public welfare demands ana
what private right needs for its pro-
lection is that justice which recog-
nizes the equality of all men before
the law But this equality is very
often forgotten when schemlng poll
ticians try to climb into favor by pro-
Tossing to be defenders of the people
against the designs of those Wnom
they denounce as enemies simply be-
cause they have succeeded. Often at
the bar Of public opinion those VINO
succeed in business enterprises OF
great moment are Judged without
trial. and upon the unsupported asser.
ton .of almost any loud mouthed
demagogue.
'.The country needs men in pubic
station who will do justice to all men
and to all classes and 1t is especially
upon the bench that men Of that klno
are needed President Taft's remarks
were called forth by certain criticisms
upon his appointment Of Gov. Hughes
to the supreme bench of the United
states and it. is gratifying to know
that he made vigorous and, OF
course successful defense of that ap-
pointment. Gov. Hughes is just the
kind Of man the country needs IN a
Mace Of great power and RESPONSE
bility." 80. -
President Taft is growing daily IN
the estimation OF the people by his
faarless honesty, which leads him
onen al times to the accusation of pos
sessing Jack of tact. Very frequent-
". however, man Is given credlt 1or
using tact when he really Is guilty OF
moral cowardice, and the president
gains strength by appearing blunt at
times when bluntness is the only
weapon against malice and mis-
representation.

HOMELESS IN NEW YORK.

The supervisor in charge OF the
census in the city of New York mas
had his faith shaken in some OF the
magazine writer's. The writer's nave
frequently declared that there are
10000 persons in New York who nave
no other homes than park benches. 50
when the official canvass was COM
Melted in New York and the enumer-
ators found fewer than 300 persons in
that center Of population he called his
lieutenants in and questioned them as
to what had happened to the other
300. The enumerators many or Wnoln
had also read the articles in the maya
zines and newspapers about the tnou-
sands of homeless, and were surprised
when their closest search failed to
find but scattered few, succeeded IN
convincing the census supervisor that
the difference between the few home
less actually found and the large num-
her reported was merely the shrinkage
made by facts founded upon investiga-
tons from fiction, growing out OF
vivid imaginations.
Here in Iowa we have seen some
thing Of the rapid-fre efforts of the
magazine writer's. A few weeks ago
one writer was in the state between
trains and went home and wrote two
magazine pages of copy showing just
how every voter in Iowa is going to
mark his ballot in the fall. Des Moines
is complaining about writer's who
have come to tell the world all about
Des Moines' commission plan of gov
eminent and then got it all wrong be-
causo thew made the most sunerficial
Of investigations.
If there is anything in the old say
ing, that truth is stranger than fiction,

PITTSBURG TREMBLES.
Possibly the Big Grand Jury Is Mo-
Legal.

Pittsburg, April 5.-There is a
chance that the sensational graft de-
velopments in the investigation at
Pittsburg may all be set aside through
declaring the special graft grand jury
Illegal. Attorney William J. Brennan,
counsel for indicted Councilmen Mo-
ran, O'Brien, Kearns and Haering,
Monday, in open court, demanded the
quashing of all indictments against
his clients on the ground that Harri-
son Nesbitt, foreman of the grand
Jury, is not really a citizen and tax
payer Of Allegheny county, hence not
qualified to sit on the grand jury.
Judge Fraser, sitting on the graft
cases, will give a decision in the mat
ter.
The possibility that Pittsburg may
again be made the butt of ridicule
throughout the country causes much
unrest in Pittsburg. Tn the meantime
Judge Fraser has held up the trials
Of Kearns, Haering. O'Brien and Mo-
ran until he can give a decision on
the point raised.
