Where Democrats Disagree.

Our amiable democratic contem-
porary, the World-Herald, is worship
ing at the shrine of Senator Martin
titular democratic leader in the upper
house of congress, notwithstanding
the fact that Mr.. Bryan's Commoner
says that Mr.. Martins only claim TO
leadership is that "he is a master of
manipulation and a machine poll
tician."
According to the Commoner, speak
ing of Mr.. Martin, Ibis power is the
same as that Aldrich possessed, lack
ing Aldrieh's ability, and his end will
be the same II there is as much virtue
among democratic voters as there is
among republican voters. Martinism
will become as obnoxious to the demo-
Gratis as Aldrichism did to republicans.
The sooner we get rid of it the better
for the party and the country"
AS against that the World Herald
expresses the conviction that Senator
Martin is ''unjustly denounced by Mr..
Bryan as a false democrat and in
capable leader"
Democratic doctors seem to disa-
gree on their diagnosis as to what
constitutes progressive leadership.

THE DYNAMITE SENSATION.

Cleveland Leader: OF all men In America
those who desire most to see any and all
labor organizations absolutely clean and
blameless are the best friends Of unions
and unionism.
ST. Louis Republic: II such a con-
spiraey In crime alleged has existed, we
may be sure that those implicated as lead
ers or accessories number many more than
three or four persons.
st. Louis Globe Democrat-The best as
surance to offer the country now is that
the men to be tried at Los Angeles will be
presumed innocent until proven guilty and
will get the benefit Of every doubt.
New York Tribune; The truth should be
brought out, IL possible, in such a way that
every one will see that it lie the truth be-
yound dispute. This would serve the in
terests OF union labor es much as those Of
the public
Chicago Record Herald: The labor men
now charged with the awful crime Of
wholesale murder should not and will not
be convicted by sober public sentiment on
headlines and press reports. They will be
fairly tried and given every benefit of
every reasonable doubt
New York world--If union labor will not
assist in the process OF purging itself OF its
own criminal elements, union labor is fac
ing the crisis OF its career. The American
people have shown that they can curb
the corporations. They will curb the

No Peace for Morocco.

AS bone of contention, Morocco is
achieving about as much fame as be-
fell the harmless little ex-kingdom Of
Korea. France has Just dispatched
troops to Fee to protect what it deems
it's rights and the Moorish rebels are
still harassing the capital. Condi-
lions are described as bad In the ex-
IRENE. They will be so long as no
one competent power is permitted to
assume control and effect state of
peace and order as the first step to-
ward real government.
Such an Office seems to belong to
France under the terms of the Anglo
French convention of 1904, which set
forth the right of France to aid in the
political, economic and financial re-
form in Morocco, But the dispute
with Germany over this power is what
led to the resignation of M. Delcasse.
the brilliant premier of the French
republic This dispute was never set
tied and is even now about to be re-
vived on Frances attempt to step into
the breach. 80
What complexities the situation still
further is the attitude of Spain,
which not only refuses to fall into the
scheme of French control, but chal-
lenges the rights and advances of
France with a demand for Moroccan
territory, itself, and when it comes to
choosing between France and Ger
many, Spain inclines to the latter.
Under such circumstances II is little
wonder that Morocco has no concrete
form of government The worst OF II
is there is no indication that it will
have soon. So far as the native au-
thority of Mulai Hand goes. that an
parently amounts to nothing. He has
his little makeshift of an army, but 1t
is nothing when caught up IN the
maelstrom of such storm as now is
raging.

Missouri pacific's pOliOv

The probable policy of the Missouri
Pacific under its new president and
reorganized board of directors is
arousing much interest In states trav-
ersed by this road, 1t had been the
hope that aggressive forces would
get hold of the road and do for II
something like Hartman did for the
Union Pacific, which came out of
Gould hands very different road
from what Il Is today But George
Gould evidently has not been com
pletely deposed, though 1t may be
Rockefeller influence and not his that
dominates the property now.
1t is conceded that the physical
condition of the Missouri Pacific calls
for improvement. The territory JUS
titles more service and extensive bet
terment, which the Rockefeller in
fluence may bring about. For that
matter, it is quite probable that if
Mr.. Gould Is to command instead of
Rockefeller, he. too. will pursue more
aggressive policy than he did before.
With all the other competitive
lines launching out upon compre-
hensiye schemes of progress, 1t is
difficult TO see how the Missouri Pa
cifie can hold back.
To a layman II would seem that the
Hartman school OF railroading, as op-
posed to the Gould system, had
proved its superiority. When HaFri-
man took hold of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific systems he set
out upon a vast campaign Of rehabil-
itation. He practically rebuilt most
OF the lines, putting them In the best
OF physical condition before he in
augurated his plans for increasing the
business. So when he got to this
latter he had something on which to
work and, as the records show, he
got the increased revenues. This. IL
would seem, beats the system of
squeezing dividends out Of a road
without putting anything back into IL.
Though he comes more directly
from the Western Maryland, the new
president Of the Missouri Pacific was
once an official OF this Gould road
and 10 said 20 be an aggressive man.

Hill and Publicity.

James ]. Hill supports Theodore N.
Vail In advocating publicity for cor
porations. Corporation publicity is
necessity" says Mr.. Hill. Il be-
lievs Mr.. Wallis conception Of the
country's requirements along this line
is OF particular interest at this time. 4"
Mr.. Hill IL little critical of the delay
in the advent of this reform. He may
scarcely, however, lay the blame
either to the public or to the un-
trammelled press, which has been
steadfastly sgitating along this line
for years. 1t is gratifying to know
that the insistent demand for fuller
publicity of corporation affairs is
finally = meeting with success. 1t
might have met with It a long time
ago had men like Mr.. Vail and Mr..
Hill lent their cooperation, or, at
least, withheld their formidable OPP
position. It is we'll enough to be
frank about these matters now.
1.-The corporation comes into exist
ence by virtue of the people and it's
progress is dependent on public pat
ronage," says Mr.. Hill. Such mile
stones of concession along the way Of
popular rights serve to measure the
great distance we have come from
the Public be damned" starting
point, which another great king Of
commerce set for us. This principle
Of the corporation deriving it's
existence from the people is the
pivot on which the whole propo-
sition turns and II It had been con-
sistently lived up to by the corpora
lions this upheaval through which the
country has passed and is passing, or
great part Of it, might have been
avoided. Problems Of governmental
control and regulation would have
been vastly simplified. Misguided
opposition of the interests officers
and agents led the country up against
the necessity of establishing publicity
over their protests.

wilson's Visit to the west.

Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey is planning an extensive tour
of the west as far as the Pacific
coast, that he may meet the people
and give them an opportunity of judg-
ing him first-hand. This is not a
bad idea for man who, manifestly,
expects to become a presidential can
didate In the next campaign. Espe-
cially does 1t seem to be wise in the
case of DIR. Wilson, who has been
looked upon by many as an unknown
quantity in politics. He and his
friends consider his course as COVER
nor thus FAR, especially in forcing
redemption of campaign pledges
through the legislature, as distinctly
successful and, undoubtedly, older
heads at the game of politics have
either put this western trip PROPOSE
ton up to the governor or heartily
approved it upon his proposal
No man nowadays is quite willing
to hazard his chances in such q race
upon lack of acquaintance with the
people. and the people of the west,
which is just now the hot-bed of po-
litical uncertainty as we'll as activity,
come in for a lions share of the con-
siderstion. DR.. Wilson and his ad-
herents are not Indifferent to the i'm
portance of such a tour, In view Of
the Bryan-Hearst-Clark alliance, but
tressed by the fact that all OF these
men are more or less products of the
west and are intimately acquainted
with its people. Governor Harmon, to
be sure, is a little short on western
connections, though his position in
the Cleveland eabiRst gave him a
status as a national charactez years
ago.
DR.. Wilson's PTo3eossd western tour
iniects new life into the democratic
free-for-all, which now includes as
possible entries for the nomination

Twenty-eight representative industrial

l5,5oO,OOO people were selected for the
British Board Of Trade inquiry. conducted
In 1909, into the earnings. expenditures and
general living conditions OF the people of
the United States. As far as practicable
comparison Is made with the results of
similar inquiry conducted In the United
Kingdom in 1905. The results obtained are
decidedly flatterlng to the United States,
and justify a more extended review than
the summary carried by the press cable.
According to the London Times, the sub
jects covered are wages, hours of work,
housing and rents, food prices and family
expenditure A large amount of the in
formation embodied In the report was OBJ
tanned directly from employers and trade
unions. The latter, the British reader is
informed, have reached a very high degree
OF development in America, and many fac
tories In certain cities are entirely closed
to nonunionists.
The report explains the meaning of the
trade union label" which Il says Is a
distinctive feature Of American unionism.
1t is small stamped label attached to

Az all her foolish sisters,
Who In parade do pass
To have their follies reflected
In that wonderful looking glass.
She certainly goes at her work
With most unflinchlng zeal;
How very small her scorn must make
Those hayward sisters feel!
And, oh. truly wonder
Who came in for all that dope
Before she broke forth into print
To enlarge her scoldlng scope?
I'd like to see Loretta
This humanized persimmon;

For some Belligerent Ben
To get six-foot mirror
To show the mistakes of men.
