ern Kansas, committed suicide al
the Cleveland hotel yesterday. He

Get In Motion!

Once the Democrats governed the

calls not new nationalism. nor old fed

ism, but by the Jeffersonian doctrine

islation and government can do for
the greatest number. Now, after six
teen years exclusion the party comes
back from from the people. 1t still re-
mains to be tested whether the party
can translate intention into act
and that is always a great question
with party or an individual. Certain
ly 1t seems that the safest way to 1t
Is to get in motion. The program has
been well mapped out. The size Of
the popular approval may be meas
ured by the fact that a Republican
house has been made Democratic by a
majority OF SO, while in the senate the
nominal Republican majority has been
reduced to nine, and II remains to be

Should Join Democrats.

Insurgent senators are reported
from Washington to have demanded
and been refused the status of a sep

In this Wilbur Is certainly spreading

censorious, even hostile gaze. And
he Is full OF stirring-though trite-
patriotic rhetoric, too. For example:
I'VE who realize how this country
has been built up under this wise
economic policy will not stand idly by
and see the country plunged into In
dustrial and economic confusion"
We hope that some of that splendid
sentiment found it's way into Wilbur's
kilograms. Wilbur has also decided
that President Taft is a traitor" to
the American Protective league and
cannot be again nominated for presi-
dent. Then listen to this glowing,
intoxicating. inspired prophecy:
"Vice-President Sherman, in my
opinion, will lead the Republican hosts

MERELY BUSINESS MATTER
Judge Gary's Explanation Of Shut
down Will Be Understood by
the Initiated.

The definite denial by Judge Gary
that the closing of work on the new
wire mill of the steel trust at Birming
ham was not an attempt to influence
the tariff discussion in congress, may
be taken as evidence Of how sensitive
even large corporations are these days
to public opinion. 1t did not use to
be 30. II a corporation thought II
could gain a point by houtfng the
public in any way or by soaring it, ii
went right ahead and did 1t. There
was no care for what the public might
say. 1t might howl all 1t pleased. but
the corporation merely laughed. 1t
never had to pay any attention to the
public, which really existed to be
milked. But there is difference now.
The public has learned that 1t can
make 1t very uncomfortable for the
person who is doing the milking and
that 1t is possible even to kick over
the milk pail. That is why corpora.
tons are more inclined to treat the
public with a certain amount of con.
siderateness.
Judge Gary does not disguise the
fact that the United States Steel cor.
poration feels that IL certain proposed
tariff legislation relating to steel du.
ties should be enacted 1t might affect
disadvantageously the manufacture OF
certain wire products. Therefore, the
local Birmingham officials were ad
vised to shut down on a part of the
work then underway. These orders
being misunderstood, all work was
closed down, but has now been re-.
sumed with the exception of the cree
ton OF houses for workmen and the
equipment of the mills. But the Judge
would have 1t understood that this cur
tailment is not intended in any way to
influence congress. Certainly not.

SOMETHING TO THINK OVER
Official Figures Concerning Wool In
dustry Gives Little Weight TO
Claims Of PROFESSIONALS.

The preliminary census statement
In regard to the wool industry shows
great growth In almost every de-
partment OF the business. There has.
however. been a decrease In the num-
Der OF establishments, due to the
tendency toward concentration in
practically all forms of industry. As
result the increase in the number
or employees since 1899 has been
comparatively slight. It being only 20
per cent. During the same period
there has been an increase of 62 per
cent. In capital and of 76 per cent.
In product. This, Of course. proves
much higher per capita production
than that OF 1899.
So there has been an Increase Of
wages. Just what this amounts to
II is impossible to say. since in the
report wages and salaries are Jumped.
Taking the total sum paid for wages
and salaries. and distributing II
among the wage earners, we find that
In 1904 there were $4,000 wage
earners. drawing total (including
saiaries) of $61.000.0O0. as against
$4,000 wage earners in 1909. drawing
S7s.000.000. The per capita wages
have increased from 1929 to $4S4.
The amount paid in wages would
be somewhat smaller IL that paid In
salaries was omitted.
Remembering that the main object
OF a protective tariff is to maintain
the American standard Of wages, It
is little disconcerting to know that
in this highly protected industry the
average wages are only $4S4 per
capita. Such wages can hardly be
called high. Many men in unpro-
tected industries do much better. II
we take the other view. which is also
taken by some of the defenders of
high tariff taxes, that protection is
needed, not so much to make high
wages as to enable employers to pay
wages that are already high, 1t is still
to be said that no great amount Of
protection should be needed to meet
this wage bill. Something seems to
be wrong with the application Of the
principle of protection in this case.
for the blessings supposed to flow
from it have not. apparently. reached
the worki1gman-who, as we all
know. is the individual for whose
benefit the scheme was devised. Has
there been a fair division of the
taxes which the people have so gen.
erously voted to this great and thriv-
Ing industry?
