1t looks like there will be
trOublOuS times on several
big railroad systems between
labor and capital. The begin
ming of winter would seem to be
a bad time to go on general
strike, but the workmen appear
to be ready for the contest. The
questions at issue are not new.
Labor is not content with the
division of the joint earnings OF
labor and capital, and also in
sists upon its right to a voice in
the stipulations of its employ
ment. The ground has been
fought over again and again with
out determining the issue.
The strike is for labor an inef-
fectual weapon, for it cannot
WELD it long enough to penetrate
the armor of it's foe before hun
ger and distress, the silent allies
of capital, weakens the arm
that strikes. When labor once
determines to carry its cause
to the ballot box and fights fol
political control it will have cap
ital running in circles to find ar
avenue of escape.

Why a big navy: from the

civil war we had little naval arm

The Standard Oil Co., the To

poles in restraint of trade that
the government is pursuing with
the Sherman antitrust law now
doubtless recognize their error
in not securing J. Pierp. Morgan

him the stock. J. Pierp. is king

would at once require all the big
industrial corporations to bring

There is nothing strange in
the fact that President Taft is
being welIreceived in those sec
tionS of the country where Re
publican insurgency has been
most manifest. Oar people are
courteous first Of all, whatever
political views they may hold.
In paying polite tribute to Mr..
Taft the people of the inSurgent
sections do honor to the high
Office he holds, not to his poiltl-
cal convictions. He meets with
the same reception in the south
when he visits that locality, but
he don't win any votes there.
1t is therefore rather ridiculous
on part of the standpat organs to
pretend that the perigrinatlons
of the President in insurgent
territory is wipinG out opposl
ton to his policies there.

1t is clear that the old Bour
bon ring has the notion that the
people Of Missouri lack the abll-
ity to give themselves the kind
of party government they need,
as they express their desire for
it through the ballot, and it
therefore becomes the duty Of
the ring to correct this error by
contest and diSfranchiSement.
Will the people of Missouri fancy
having their inteIligenc" thus IN
suited?

And what is Il Republican form

Broadly speaking. Sucha GOV
ernment is one in which the
people manage their own affairs.
At the time of the adoption Of
the constitution it was considered
to mean that they did his through

and strict construction uf the con
Stitution would enable the court
to declare that the kind Of l'epub-

by the constitutional guaranty
was the kind that existed in

could be no broadening OF it by
a change in the method of eXcr-

The court could hold that i
