Go II Mr.. Taft: keep it up. Mr..
Taft! You are right Make the cor
pcrations come TO time, execute the
laws. play no favorites. hold steady
hand on the helm OF State. We have
the utmost confidence in your good
faith, in Your disposition to see that
tho laws are obeyed. that Justice is
done. We believe that you would
rather 'cut of your right hand than
do anything to disturb the business
o. tho country you declared in
your speech at Chicago Friday night.
We believe that YOU meant exactly
what you said; but nobody wants you
to cut of your right hand. and most

CONTROL OF THE SENATE.

the Democratic successor Of Senator
Frye. of Maine. increases the Demo
cratic membership Of the Senate to
~. as against 40 Republicans of oil
classes A vacancy exists in the Demo

that is filled there will be 40 Domo-
Gratis in the Senate and four moro may
come from New Mexico and Arizona.
Already the Republican leaders In
the Senate have ceased to claim con-
troll The Insurgents will not obey
the orders OF Senator Penrose. and
the Standpatters look upon La Toilette

show that Republican control of the
Senate is a thing past

LIVES IN Foun srArps.

Where Colorado, New Mexico. Utah
and Arizona corner lives ranchcr,
Fred Terror. Lately he went with Il
herd of cattle to Kansas City. When
he reached that city he did not know
which State he should claim as his
residence when he went up to the
hotel register. His ranch extends in
to all four States. HIS house stands
at the official point where tho four
States meet.
Terror explained to the hotel clerk
that he eats his meals in Colorado,
sleeps In Utah, has his best room in
New Mexico. and his Kitchen in Ar!-
iona. The windmill which pumps
water for his stock Is in New Mexico.
while the trough is i'll Arizona. He
put the question up to the hotel clerk
to decide which State he lived in.
Neither he nor tho hotel clerk know
which State he should register from.
He really lives in four States and is
probably subject to four methods of
taxation and to four sets of laws. He
says that at present he Ia voting in
Utah, because he sleeps In that state,
but the place where he sleeps might
not, in contest. prove controlling.

Globe says that the tendency toward
arbitrary ruling srows and the end
is not in sight" In fact, n post ONCE
official made this frank admission not
long ago:
Not every book is taken from the
mails. because 1t Is improper Often
IT stirs up dangerous sentiment If
somebody had had the forethouEht to
exclude Uncle Toms Cabin from tho
mails there might have been no Civil
War"
TWO late events should be noted in
this connection. The first is the shut
ting out from the mails of the report
OF the Chicago Woe Commission-com
posed of public spirited clean minded
business men. lawyers, college profess
sors and social workers, both men and
women. Then. aftor the protest of the
dean Of the University of Chicago and
his associates came the permission"
of the Postmaster General to mail
certain number of copies of that re-
port and no more" A second case is
that of the harassing by the Post
Office Department OF the Socialist
newspapers published at Newcastle
Pennsylvania, at Pittsburg and in
Kansas
There is much truth in the conclu-
sion Of The Globe that there is great
danger that the Department Will come
to regard itself as the sole custodian
of the moral, political social and edu-
cational interests of the United States"
Il looks that way now.

THE NEGROES W. NouT,r.

Bishop Gucrry, Of South Carolina,
talked TO the Missionary Council of
the Episcopal Church at Newark, New
Jersey, on the negro question in way
that must have opened the eyes of some
of the brethren. He told them that
there are moro negroes in New York
City than in New Orleans. ana az many
negroes ii. Philadelphia as In any city
outside Of New Orleans. He urged the
necessity Of moral education as more
important than intellectual training,
and that without such education the
negro Will become a menace 10 we'll
ordered society. Bishop Query also
denounced the crime of lynching. which
is not confined TO the soSth. as the
greatest blot on tile American Churci,
to-day. ana we think ne was entirely
right in what he said as to the moral
education OF the negrp aud as 10 the
awful work or the mob
We are particularly pleased that
Bishop Query had such an audience;
probably If our friends up North would
do q little more for the "uplift' of
