 Leading business men are now becom- ing great factors in the emancipation of the country from a system which was leading from bad to worse. There are those, of course, who are welded to the old ways and who will stand out for them to the last but they will sink into a minority and be overcome. They have found that their old excuse that it was necessary to defend themselves against unfair legislation is no longer a good eX- cuse, that there is a better way of de- lending themselves than through the pri- vate use of money, and that is to take the public into their confidence, to make absolutely open all their dealings with legislative bodies and legislative officers. and let the public judge as between them and. those with whom they are dealing in the field of politics.

Trouble With Laws

But the illegitimate connections be- tween business and legislation are an- other matter. Every community Is vaguely aware that the political ma chine upon which it looks askance has men who are engaged in business on a large scale. and the suspicion which at taches to the machine itself has begun to attach also to business enterprises just because these connections are known to exist. If these connections were open and avowed, if everybody knew just what they involved and just what use was be- ing made of the alliance, there would be no difficulty in keeping an eye upon af- fairs and in controlling them by public opinion. But unfortunately the whole process of law-making in America is a very obscure one. There is no highway of legislation, but there are many by ways. Parties are not organized in such g way in our legislatures as to make any one group of men avowedly responsible for the course of legislation The bills introduced into our legislatures are intro duced upon private initiative, either the initiative of individuals outside the legis- lature who desire certain changes in the law for their own convenience or benefit, or the initiative of individual members of the legislatures themselves. The whole process of discussion, if any discussion at all takes place, Is private and shut away from public scrutiny and knowl- edge. There are so many circles within ind md private ways of getting at legislative ac- ton that our communities are constantly uneasy during legislative sessions
 ''It is this confusion and obscurity and privacy of our legislative method that gives the political machine It's opportunity. Apparently nothing but the political ma- chine can bring order out of the chaos. There is no central force in any legisla- ture which can itself guide the course of lawmaking.
 "There is no publicly responsible man or group of men who are known to for mulate legislation and to take charge of it from the time of Its enactment. It has, therefore. been possible for an outside force-the political machine, the body of men who nominated the legislators and who conducted the contest for their elec- tion. to assume the role of control. Busi- ness men who desired something done by way of changing the law under which they were acting or who wished to pre- vent legislation which seemed to them to threaten their own interests, have known that there was this definite body of per- sons to resort to, and they have made terms with them. They have agreed to supply them with money for campaign expenses and to stand by them in all other cases where money was necessary If in return they might resort to them for pro- lection or for resistance in matters of legislation.

LEGISLATION AND BUS|NESS-W WILSON Urges Candid Handling of
 Public Affairs TOO MANY BY-WAYS Illegitimate Connections Between Business and Legislation Due
 to Obscure Process of
 Law Making

Minneapolis, Minn., May 4.-Gov. Woodrow Wilson addressed the Publicity club of this city at luncheon today. Gov dress to a discussion of the connections between business and legislation. speak ing particularly about the business inter ference with legislation which has cre- ated some of the worst influences in our recent politics. He said in part:
 The modern world is, of course, a busi- ness world. A great many of the older and more fundamental questions of our politics we regard as long ago settled. The business of politics is nowadays a business of adjustment, of meeting new conditions as they arise and making law suitable to our changing life. The most remarkable and influential changes that have taken place in recent years in America have been economic rather than political. Business has bulked larger and larger and has consequently been more and more interlaced not only with nation al policy, but with legislative change throughout the country.
 'It Is perfectly legitimate, of course, that the business interests of the coun- try should enjoy the protection of the law not only, but that they should be in every way furthered and strengthened and facilitated by legislation. The coun- try has no jealousy of any connection be- tween business and politics which Is legitimate connection. It is not in the least averse from open efforts to accom- modate law to the material development which has so strengthened the country in all that it has undertaken by supply ing it's extraordinary life with its physi- cal foundation.

Publicity Cure-Al


 This discovery on their part of what ought to have been obvious all along points out the way of reform, for un- doubtedly publicity comes very near be- ing the cure-all for political and eco- homie malades of this sort. But pub licity will continue to be very difficult so long as our methods of legislation are so obscure and devious and private. l think it will become more and more ob- vious that the way to purify our politics Is to simplify them, and that the way to simplify them is to establish responsible leadership. We now have no leadership at all inside our legislative bodies-at any | rate, no leadership which Is definite enough to attract the attention and | watchfulness of the country. Our only | leadership being that of irresponsible per sons outside the legislatures. who consti- tute the political machines, it Is extreme- ly difficult for even the most watchful public opinion to keep track of the cir
 culation methods pursued
 This undoubtedly lies at the root of the growing demand on the part of Amer ican communities everywhere for leader
 ship, for responsible leadership, for put ting in authority and keeping in authority those whom they know and whom they
 can watch and whom they can constantly hold to account

Need More CandOr

'The business of the Country ought to be served by thoughtful and progressive legislation, but it ought to be served open ly, candidly, advantageously, with a care full regard to letting everybody be heard and every interest be considered, the in terest which is not backed by money as well as the interest which is and this can be accomplished only by some sim plification of our methods which will cen 'ter the public trust in small groups of men who will lead not by reason of legal authority or the right to command, but by reason of their contact with and amen ability to public opinion.
 Tt is a refreshing and reassuring thing to remind ourselves at every turn of how safe 1t is to depend upon public opinion in America when public opinion Is well in- formed. There is no revolution in the air except as against iniquity and secret con ferences against the public interest The American mind is well poised and whole some and inclined to justice, and the task that lies ahead of us is at every turn the task of putting that opinion into the saddle again so that affairs may go for ward by a common impulse--that great impulse of righteous law that eager im- pulse for. the attainment of better and better things which we are proud to re- gard as characteristic of the country we love

LEGAL TANGLE MAY
SAVE NEGRO'S NECK

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. Nov. 2-.
The criminal court of appeals which
convened today Tor its November term
is expected to make some final dis
position of the case of kid" Kelley,
which has bothered the Oklahoma au-
thorities for several years
Kelley, "A negro, was convicted of
the murder of another negro near
Tishomingo eight years ago and ever
since he has been waiting 90 ind out
whether he should be hanged by the
United States or the state. His case
was pending in the Indian territory
courts when Oklahoma was admitted
TO statement. An effort was made to
get the case into the United States
circuit court of appeals, but that court
refused to take jurisdiction. So did
the criminal court of appeals of Okla
homa. Recently the attorney general
decided the state had no jurisdiction
and the negro was released from Gus
tody. But as the case is still ON the
criminal court docket it will be taken
up and disposed of at the present
term.

100000 TONS OF COAL
SAVED BY FALLING WATER

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Nov. 27.
In view of the widespread move
ment for the conservation Of natural
resources, some figures given out by
the commerce commission of this city
about power development along the
Niagara river, are significant
By the use of only the excess flow
Of water-without damage to the ap-
pearance of the falls-power equiva-
lent to that produced by j,700,00
tons of coal is turned out every year
on the Niagara river. As 6.T00, 900
tons of coal, at the price prevailing
here, would cost about $18,959, 900, the
utilization by the water for power
represents an annual saving of that
amount Of money.
The quantity of water that can be
used for power is limited by law and
international treaty, so that there is
no danger of damage TO the scenic
beauty of Niagara. The restrictions
are such that only very small pro-
portion of the total flow can be used.
The power concerns are also cooper
ating with the Canadian and New
York state governments to make and
keep the shore lines beautiful.
Of course it is out of que stion that
the nation will ever permit Niagara's
waters to be converted into electricity
up to point where the scenic grand
eur of the falls would be affected.
But calculation of the potential en-
ergy of this great cataract is illumi-
mating as to the vast water power
wealth now going to wast, in this
country. Figured in the cost of coal
that could be saved, the total amount
of water running over the falls repre-
sents an annual flood of $203, 148, 900
and a yearly consumption of II $780,
900 tons of coal. In period of ten
years the total power of Niagara
would be worth s2,O31, ,4SO, 900.

MANCoS MINES LOOK GOOD.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Cameron Stiles came over from
Mancos last night, and he says that
the mines on the East and the West
Mancos are looking good. He work
ed on the Doyle mines on the East
Mancos ali summer, and he thinks it
will not take very long to repair the
new roaster that Jimmy Doyle is put
ting in there, although he admits that
it may not be completed until next
spring. He thinks, however, that the
new roaster will take the values out
Of the big flat vein on the East Man
cos for about Sc ton, and that this
new improvement will increase the
value of the Doyle mines about &c.
100000.
For the last five weeks Mr.. Stiles
has been driving a tunnel on Judge
Felker's property on the West Man
cos, and he says he has been taking
out some good pay ore, that will be
shipped to the smelter in the spring.
"ii iSeoiH " the HIS tomorrow
to do assessment work on some claims
which he has located above the old
placer ground on the East Mancos,
and he thinks he will soon be able to
ship some ore of his own He says
the Ben Hill adjoining his, is being
steadily worked by its owners, f. T.
Cline, Jim Brown and W. NJ. Letson,
and the good ore they are taking out,
leads him to believe that his prospects
are good. If the snow does not get
too deep development work will be
carried on all winter on the East Man
cos, and there is little doubt that
plenty of good ore will be shipped
from there next spring.
