MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT
ORDERED
Let the Good Work Go On

The city council at its meeting
Tuesday night June 18th voted
to have the school board put in
a new concrete walk around the
Graded and High School building.
This will be good news to the
large number of people who pass
over it. The walk there now has
been positively disreputable for
several years and only the fact
that the district was in debt
caused the board to with held or
dering the new walk.
Yandell, Gray and Orme voted
against the measure.
Num-, Venner and Order vot-
ed for it making a tie. which our
enterprising mayor soon united
by voting for it.

SILVER ANNIVERSARY
To Be Celebrated With New Depot
We Hope.

Twenty-Five years roll around
much more rapidly than one
thinks. especially as we get old
err. 1t seems but yesterday that
the 0. V. railroad reached Ma
rion. yet it was May LIST, 1887,
that, that glorious event was
heralded. We all remember
DR.. P. G. Kelsey, and his corps
of assistants. not forgetting
his little son, who sang
the song of the raj lroad, and
Sam Brown, the millionaire, who
financed it. We remember also
the crowd that gathered at the
station when the first train roll
ed in and how they scattered
and made room for the train to
turn around when requested to
do so by the jolly brakeman.
During all tn csc years gold
from Marion and contiguous ter
ritory has been poured into cof-
fers of the railroad under differ
ent ownerships and manage
ments. this being one of the
greatest freight distributing CEN
tiers on the line. We have now
outgrown the accommodations
we have and think the l. G. will
give us a new and modern pas
senger station, up-to-date, in
every particular, commensurate
with our needs and the large
territory adjacent. This should
be done, and the work complet-
ed, ready to dedicate on the 25th
anniversary, May LIST, 1912.

MAN AND THE MACHINE.

Industrial education is a great
thing-if it makes the working
man more Of a man and less of
machine.
Industrial efficiency is to be
encouraged-provided that it
doesn't rob men of their person
atty.
There's limit to what should
be expected of a man in the mat
ter of production.
A man is greater than a
machine.
When a machine is worn out
you can throw it upon the scrap
heap.
There is no scrap-heap for the
human soul-it lives forever. But
the nature of it's eternal life is
largely dependent upon it's ability
to grow and develop in the
human body.
The workingman is the
"temple'' Of thing which lives
on even after he has taken off the
overalls for the last time. It is
important that his soul-life
should not be crushed out
through the fierce struggle to
"keep body and soul together. {"
He needs more leisure, and he
needs to learn how to rightly en-
ploy his leisure. If industrial
education and industrial efficien-
cy help him here-then let have
more Of them.
If he can be relieved Of the, mon
otonous toll which characterizes
so many occupations in industrial
life-if he can be given the
riches Of greater variety, bringing
into play many faculties which
have been stunted and dwarfed--
let's have anything that will ac-
complish these things for him.
For. after all, while it is bad
enough to starve the body, it is
far worse to starve the soul.
There's many worker whose
soul-hunger makes him long for
the life which he feels God in
tended for him.
Come on, then, with your rem
edy for battered lives-give it to
us quickly, for all about us are
men and women eager for life
the fulness Of life which is
every man s heritage.

ROOSEVELT AND LABOR.

Addressing a delegation Of
Pennsylvania farmers, express
ident Roosevelt is reported to
have said:
There are two classes of men
l want to help. The man who
tills the soil and the man who
works for wages. Don't help any
one else. A man mustn't get a.
living unless he does work. He
must pull his weight. Every man
who pulls his weight is worth
helping. Don't try to help your
self by hurting some one else. Let
your motto be: AL men up, and
not some men down. >"
Mr.. Roosevelt seems to accept
as matter. of course that the
man who tills the. soil or works

HOW TO KILL TRUSTS.

Senator LaFollette's proposition
to amend the antitrust law so
that all business organizations
may know exactly what it permits
and what it forbids, is not being
kindly received by the. organs Of
Big Business. These organs are
trying to twist the meaning of the
proposition into something favor
able to the trusts and thus cast
discredit on Senator LaFollette.
Ii they sincerely thought that it
would benefit the trusts they
would certainly not oppose it.
The present state Of uncertain
ty concerning the meaning of the
antitrust law is favorable to big
combinations. They can stand

for wages should be in need Of
help. Apparently he looks on
such a situation as natural and
unavoidable. Now, why should
men who produce wealth be un-
able to help themselvesY If they
get all that they earn they. are
not entitled to any assistance.
To give them any is to give them
more than belongs to them. To
give one man more than belongs
to him is to give some other man
less. So if wealth producers are
not being robbed of some part of
their earnings, then Mr. Roosevelt
is wrong in encouraging them to
expect help from any one.
But do they get all that they
earn? If not, then the obstacle
that prevents them from getting
what justly belongs to them must
be located and removed. Is Mr..
Roosevelt willing to help in doing
that? Unless he is, then all his
assertions Of friendship for the
toiler amount to little else than
empty words. Hitherto he has
not given any effective aid to such
work. He has even hindered and
obstructed it. He is staunch up
holder Of the protective tariff,
which is one means of keeping
from "the man who tills the soil
and the man who works for
wages' a large part Of the fruits
of his toll. While he held the
presidency he made no attempt
whatever to attack fundamental
causes Of existing evils. He vast
ed time and opportunity in puerile
though strenuous attacks on only
the outward symptoms of social
disease. The only attention he
gave to causes was to strenuously
defend them and to give the name
Of "muckraker'' to those who
came nearer than he to telling
the truth about existing con-
tons.
Unless Mr.. Roosevelt has chang.
ed since then and is big enough
and brave enough to admit that
he was on the wrong track, he
can give no help to the toi1er,
however strenuously he may try.

BRICKLAYERS PLAN
WINTER AMUSEMENT

The Bricklayers' upton is planning
a series OF entertainments for the
winter months.
The entertainments will be called
pops" and the purpose is to cult
vate better feeling Of acquaintance

The pops will consist largely of
vaudeville numbers by members of
the union and local talent.
The affairs will be held at the
Bricklayers' hall, and at some Of the
members Of other unions will be in
vited to attend.
The social feature planned by the
Bricklayers is along the proper liS>;s.
They will do much to band the men
together with a deep feeling of fell
lowship which each union man should
have for his fellow:
Besides, it will awaken interest in
union affairs and bring out members
who have not been In the habit of
attending the meetings regularly.
Other unions are said to be con-
sidering the example of this organf.
zation. H.
The plans have not been definitely
made as yet, and the date OF the first
entertainment has not been deter
mined. %s-~@.

THE TARIFF BOARD GATHER
ING INFORMATION

Evidence that the Forthcoming
report of the tariff board will not
be altogether the result of i'm
partial and painstaking investiga-
ton, is getting more and more
plentiful.
The American Economist, pub
ished an article which virtually
charged that a member of the tar
if board, who publishes a trade
paper, had allowed the board to
engage Joseph E. Wing, one of
his writers, to go to South Amer
lea to investigate the wool grow
ing industry there, the Inference
being plainly stated by the Econ
omist, that the man "would take
advantage of his visit to South
America to collect material for ar
ticles in the paper owned by the
member Of the tariff board.' It
is said that Wing can neither
speak nor write Spanish and so
is utterly incapable Of making
any useful investigation Of wool
growing in spanish-speaking
countries. A man who can not
speak Spanish would have diff
Guilty in finding his way from place
to place in Argentina, let alone
making an inquiry into the con-
ditions prevailing in an extensive
industry in such country. Much
curiosity is exhibited as to wheth-
err President Taft is acquainted
with these conditions in a board
on which he asks the entire coun-

criminal proceedings. But smaller
concerns cannot, while new COM
ers will keep out Of fields where
there is danger Of becoming in
volved in litigation. So the anti
trust law is in fact a pro-trust
measure. The trusts are quite
satisfied with it as it is and don
care to take chances on any
change.
But Senator LaFollette is mis-
taken in supposing that any
tinkering or amending Of the law
will help matters much. No
change of that kind will prevent
courts from twisting the meaning
Of the clearest wording, while
even an honest attempt to strict
ly enforce law Of that kind &C.
cording to the intent of the franz
ers must necessarily result in
much injustice and harm.
There is only one way to
remedy the trust evil and that is
to repeal the laws comforting the
special privileges on which the
power Of the trusts is based.
There can be no trouble about the
proper enforcement Of legislation
of that kind. It will enforce it.
self. Deprived Of their special
privileges the big combinations
will have no power to keep
would-be competitors out Of their
respective fields and will cease to
be monopolies without farcical
orders from any court.
AS long as attempts to regulate
or destroy trusts through restric-
tive antitrust legislation are be-
ing made the application of the
right remedy is being delayed
and the trusts are deriving bene-
fits from the delay.

SECRETARY NAGLE AND THE
SHERMAN LAW.

When President Taft challenged
VIM. j. Bryan to name an illegal
trust that could not be reached
under the supreme court s rule of
reason, Mr.. Bryan replied as fol-
lows: ANY and all trusts, con-
tracts or restraints of trade ac-
cording to the whim and pleasure
of the trust system sympathizer
occupying at the time seat on
the federal bench.
Now comes Secretary Nagel Of
the Department Of Commerce and
Labor and virtually admits that
Mr.. Bryan is right. Of course he
did so unconsciously but none the
less effectively. In an address at
Cincinnati before the Business
Mems club, in speaking of the
present status of the Sherman
law, Mr.. Nagel, according to the
Cincinnati Equirer, said:
Suppose an organization that has
not been sued has an instructive feel
ing that there might be something
wrong, has an idea that rather than
be sued outright it had better go at
once to Uncle Sam and say: Here
are our schemes. Are we right or
are we wrong? 1t is not the purpose
of the government to create unnec-
essary disturbance, but we would be
compelled, if we thought they were
within the scope of the law, to say:
Yes, we think it is all right, but in
order to make sure we will have to
file bill against you in court to Sc
cure judicial approval
In other words no can can tell
what the supreme court would do
in any particular case, not even
Secretary Nagel, who is himself a
lawyer and a candidate for the va
cancy on the supreme bench
caused by the death Of Justice
Harlan. With all the facts before
him about the way a concern may
be doing business he could not tell
as he himself admits, whether the
court would condemn it or not. He
would have to say to such a con-
Germ: 'EIn order to make sure, we
will have to file a bill against
YOU"
Law suits are expensive, espec-
tally one that must be carried for

Supreme court. What chance has
a small concern under such condi-
