Stephenson and the Primaries.
From the New York Times.


The artless and ingenious testimony
given before the Senate committee that
is inluiring into the charge that Senator
Stephenson of Wisconsin procured his
election to the United States Senate by
corrupt means shows that the senator
was prOdigal, even careless, with his
money, but that his expenditures were
effective. He did carry the primaries
and that was his object. We approve
the decision of the committee in reject
ing the plea of Mr.. Littlefield, counsel OF
the senator, that the investigation be
limited TO the actual election OF the SEN
ator in the joint session of the Wisconsin
legislature March 4, 1909. Possibly i'm
proper arts of persuasion were employ ed
on that day TO cause certain democratic
members Of the legislature to absent
themselves from the session. But an in

Gov. Wilson and Politics.

Gov. Wilson's action at Trenton yester-

excellent politics? No, and yes.
No, IL the ordinary rules OF politics are

standpoint there would have been no

that prevented Endorsement. So that, in
a way, Gov. Wilson has eaten his cake
and has II, too. The failure to indorse
him was an exhibition OF his power.
He is none the less New Jerseys favorite
democratic SON.
This sort of thing will probably mark

An Essential Functionary.

Napoleon looked discouraged
AS he went into the fray.
Were fighting far ahead Of time
They heard the great man say.
But circumstances force us
And we'll do the best We can.
Yet, We ought to have the service
OF the moving picture man."
When Milton dreamed his story
And when Dante saw such sights,
Each must have felt resentment
Toward the pen that feebly writes.
For vivid illustration
On an expeditions plan
A poet isn't in 1t
With the moving picture man.
So, let US take the warning,
When they crown a monarch new
Or a battleship is shattered
Or volcanic flames are due,
Preserve some great memento
For posterity to scan
And hold the ceremony
For the moving picture man.

Public qualification at the changes in
the Department Of Agriculture affecting
the enforcement of the pure food law Is
certain to be somewhat modified by the
manner in which they were effected
When all the facts were brought out re-
iating to the late readjustments In the
department whereby DR.. Wiley's author
ity in the enforcement of the law was vir-
tually destroyed there was a universal
feeling throughout the country that radi-
cal changes were necessary In the organ
ization. The President in his decision on
the Wiley case plainly intimated that
such changes would be brought about
later. The Secretarys action in relieving
Solicitor McCabe at his own request from
duty on the board of food and drug in
spection and in granting leave of absence
TO Associate Chemist Dunlap, the third
member of the board, is unfortunately
taken in its terms. There is no sugges-
ton of rebuke for excessive zeal or for
partisanship. One Of the officials who
has been held up to public condemnation
as seeking to check the full operation of
the pure food and drug act Is In effect
relieved of a burden of work and the
other is practically rewarded after
hard summer of diligent labor.
1t does not make for good administra-
ton to ignore plain truths and compro-
mise with the facts. If in the execution
OF the pure food and drug act any officer
Of the Department of Agriculture has
been overzealous or has laid himself
liable to suspicion as to his integrity or
his sincerity he should be dealt with di-
rectly and the conditions remedied in
specific terms. AS far as the depart
ment's present action is concerned. what
ever has been done in the past in the
hampering Of DR.. Wiley in his enforce
ment Of the statute and in the effort to
secure his removal from the service on
trifiing technicality that would not bear
analysis has been condoned. AS far as
the enforcement Of the pure food act is
concerned, 1t may be that the public in
terests have been safeguarded by the
changes that have relieved the chief
chemist Of the handicap of an outvoting
combination of associates. But public
confidence in the efficiency of the depart
ment's organization Is not restored by so
palpable a device to save the face of
offending officials.
1t is at least in order to congratulate
the public upon the assurance that an
officer Of whose integrity there is not the
slightest suspicion and whose energy in
the enforcement Of the pure food act is
unauestioned has been restored to the
authority the withdrawal of which had
been effected practically in secret 1t
may now be assumed that the statute will
be administered thoroughly and without
discrimination.

Business and Next Year.

There is a call to arms i'm business
circles. Business men are told that they
have the numbers and the influence to
control the situation. If they are in dis
tress as the result of too much political
agitation; If business of all kinds has
fallen Off, and even worse is threatened.
they themselves are somewhat to blame
They have submitted too long to the
domination of theorists and machine poll
ticians. the former seeking fame and Of
flee, and the latter money graft. Let
them get together and act together in the
nomination and election of public officials,
and times will be better and the public
service improved. Then business will
come into its own again.
Rut can the men OF business, big and
little, get together on program Of ma
tional needs? Are they not as much
divided on issues as the theorists and the
politicians?
Take the tariff. There are high tariff
business men and low tariff business men.
There are men in trade who if they
could would restore the Dingley law and
keep it on the books indefinitely. There
are others who desire to see the Payne
law materially lowered all along the line.
Take the trust question. There are
business men, as there are lawyers, who
think the Sherman antitrust law suffi-
cient for all purposes in curing the evils
that exist in trusts. Let 1t stand as it
is. Now that the Department of Justice
has the hang OF 1t and is applying 1t,
nothing more in that line is necessary.
There are other business men. as there
are other lawyers. who insist that If
business by modern methods Is to have a
chance the Sherman law must be amend
ed. AS it stands and is being executed
it is a menace to business and an injury
TO the country.
Take the currency question. Bankers.
manufacturers. merchants are in no sort
of agreement as to what should be done.
The only agreement is that legislation of
some kind is necessary and has been too
long neglected. But in the east is one

The Menace of Heavier Taxation.

the change in the organic act from nVe
10 six million dollars annually. with
chance that Congress of the near future
would rescind even the two-million dollar
rrovision and thus more than double the
tax burden borne by the District.
The chairman Of the House District
committee must know that. despite the
cIamor of uniformed critics Of the pres

now bears an equitable portion Of the

as those of the average city of the same
