of legislation of that kind. We mean
that our tariff legislation henceforth
shall have as it object not private
profit, but the general public develop
ment and benefit; that we shall make
our fiscal laws not like those who dole
out favors, but like those who serve a
nation.
by the same token We mean to
equalize as much as we can the bur
dens of taxation.
In brief, we mean by every progress
sive measure suggested in such cata-
logue of purpose to throw open the
gates of opportunity to mankind. This
was the original purpose of America.
This is the only thing to which Ameri-
cans can devote themselves with real
confidence or enthusiasm. This is the
only purpose that distinguishes us
from the other nations of the world.
Our whole ideal in the new program
of progress is an ideal of restoration,
of rejuvenation, of Justice, wrought
out in it's working details. We mean
to think of rights not as opportunities
to be selfish, but as obligations to be
just. We shall conceive business not
as a means of obtaining, but as a
means of serving, and we shall treat
politics not as a game of advantage,
but as a general, hopeful, confident,
conscientious readjustment of the in.
terests of individuals and of classes to
one another.

to make the processes of capital as
are now gonig forward upon the prin-
ciple that those who make use of the
great modern accumulation of wealth.
gathered together by the dragnet proc
ess of the sale of stocks and bonds,
shall be treated as public trustees; that
they shall be made responsible for
their business methods to the great
communities, which are, in fact, their
working partners; that the hand which
makes correction shall easily reach
them, and that new principle of re-
sponsibility may be felt throughout
their structure and operation.
National Resources.
"In the third place, we have deter
mined to safeguard our national re-
sources at every point, realizing, as we
do that we have been to lavish of
them and have used them in spend
thrift fashion. We now insist that our
resources do not consist merely of for
ests and the power of great streams
and the wealth that lies hidden in the
mines or merely in the productive pow
ers of our varied soil, but include also
the lives and health of our workmen,
of our women and children. The
rights and health and prosperity of
our working men and working women
and of our children we now recognize
as being our chief national resources,
and we mean to safeguard that re-
source of all others against the selfish
ness Of private use and profit. We
shall take care Of our forests and
mines and water courses and soil; but,
above all things else, we shall take
care of our people.
I'm the fourth place, we have made
up our minds to cut all privilege and
patronage out of our fiscal legislation,
particularly out of that part of It
which affects the tariff. We have
come to recognize in the tariff as it is
now constructed not system of pro.
lection, but a system of favoritism, of
privilege. too often granted secretly
and by subterfuge instead of openly
and frankly and legitimately, and we
have determined to put an end to the
whole of the bad business, not by hasty
and drastic changes, but by the adop-
ton of an entirely new principle-by
the reformation Of the whole purpose

NOT A GAME c. CHANCE.
The Jury Decided That Seven-up Was
Purely Scientific.


One of Mark Twain's old time sto-
rfes concerned the game of seven-up,
or old sledge. Some Kentucky boys
were arrested for playing this game
under the usual charge of playing a
game of chance. When they were
brought before the judge their lawyer
claimed that this game was not
game of chance, but was game of
science. The court, puzzled, asked for
suggestion, and the lawyer declared
that if a jury of six gamblers well &c.
quainted with the game in scientific
way and six deacons be impaneled
with pack of cards their de ,ision
ought to be determinative. so t,ie sto-
ry goes:
'There was no dsputing the fairness
of the proposition. Four deacons and
the two dominieS were sworn in as
the chance iurymen, and six inveter-
ate old seven-up professors were
chosen to represent the science side
of the issue. They retired to the jury
room.
SIN about two hours Deacon Peters
sent into court to borrow SO from a
friend. In about two hours more
Dominic Migglcs sent into court to
borrow stake from q friend. Dur
ing the next three or four hours the
dominic and the other deacons sent
into court for small loans.
'The rest of the story can be told
briefly. About daylight the jury came,
In, and Deacon Job, the foreman, read
the following verdict:
ave, the Jury in the case of the
commonwealth Of Kentucky versus
John Wheeler ct al, have carefully
considered the points of the case and
tested the merits of the several theo-
ries advanced and do hereby unani-
mously decide that the game common
~ known as old sledge, or seven-up,
is eminently game Of science and
not of chance. In demonstration
whereof 1t is hereby and herein stated,
iterated, reiterated, set forth and
made manifest that during the entire
night the. "chance" men never won a
game or turned jack, although both
feats were common and frequent to
the opposition, and furthermore In
support of this our verdict we call at
tention to the significant. fact that the
''chance" men are all broke and the
"science" men have got the money
1t is the deliberate opinion of this jury
that the "chance" theory concerning
seven-up is pernicious doctrine and
calculated to inflict untold suffering
and pecuniary loss upon any commu-
nifty that takes stock in it,"

of the lymphatic glands OF the neck is

Direct Primaries.

In the first place, we mean to open
up all the processes of our politics.
We find that they have been too Sc
cret, too complicated, too roundabout;
that they have consisted too much of
private conferences and secret under
standings, of the control of legislation
by men who were not legislators, but
stood outside and dictated, controlling
oftentimes by very questionable means,
which they would not have dreamed
of allowing to become public, and so
we have determined that he whole
process must be altered-that we must
take the selection of candidates for Of
nee, for example, out of the hands of
small groups of men, of little coteries,
out of the hands of machines working
behind closed doors, and put it in the
hands of the people themselves again
by means of direct primaries and cleo
tons to which candidates of every sort
and degree may have free access. We
have begun to build up a new system
by which to substitute public for pri-
vate machinery.
Economic Life.
We have determined, in the second
place, to give society command of it's
own economic life again by denying
to those who conduct the great modern
operations of business the privacy and
independence that used to belong prop
erly enough to men who used only
their own capital and their individual
energy in business. We have set out
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-05-10

" the big shipper as against the small
one; OF the monopolizing of the mar
kets by gigantic trusts and combina-
ions. These things still trouble us, OF
course, ana are still in the back
ground OF q great deal that we talk
about, and our motive in a great deal
that We do is still to correct the abuses
which have arisen by these means, but
happily the whole program of reform
mas become less negative and more
constructive. 1t is becoming evident
that we shall not be satisfied with
merely prohibitive statutes and penal
Ties imposed upon those who do not
sufficiently regard the public interest
IN the conduct of their business. We
see that what we are really after is a
reconstruction of our methods of &C.
ton, not only in the field of business,
but also in the field of politics. The
picture is very much enlarged before
us and we are seeking larger ends by
lnVigorating constructive means.
"A great people cannot afford to be
merely on the defensive. 1t is not the
genius of America to be satisfied with
safeguards and prohibitions. We are
therefore looking ourselves over from
top to bottom in order to find what
Encouragement of our statutes and
practices is necessary in order that we
may go forward in a happy and eff
fective life. We are gonig about now
to enact thorough program of popu
lar reform, and we know very definite
ly the objects at which We intend to
aim.
