If acted upon favorably by the senate
and signed by the president will give
an increase Of pension to the old sol
diers. This action by the democratic
house gives further emphasis to the
fact that since the democrats were
given control of the lower branch of
congress they have lived up to their
policy Of doing after election what
they promised to do before election.
TWO STRONG MEASURES.
With the passage by the house Of
the Sherwood bill, the democrats can
now claim credit for the two most
beneficial laws ever acted upon for
the benefit of the veterans. In Janu-
airy, 1875, the Rice law, tsthered by
General A. V. Rice, a democratic sol

The milwaukee Situation

There is, of course, one other factor
to be reckoned with. The old Rose ma,
chine, the more or less bipartisan
crowd, which misruled Milwaukee for
SO long, is anxious to get back. 1t is a
very chastened crowd and it talks
more than it used to talk about the
beauties of "nonpartisan" govern
ment and Of business mans" ad-
ministration of Milwaukee. But the
zeal La Toilette "goo-goos' will have
nothing to do with them, and it is
Questionable whether their alleged re-
kabilitation deceives anybody.
On the whole, the election should be
a fair index of the local sentiment upon
Mayor SeidePs administration. He
has not had full power. For example
he has not had control of the chief of
police. Nor has he had two-thirds of
the council behind him. For this rea
son he has not been able to carry out
some of the legislative schemes with
which he went into Office. He has had
to content himself with purely admin
istrative demonstrating up waste
full methods in the various depart
ments. Few Of these have had any
Utopian flavor, and it may readily be
seen that the mildness of the Seide
accomplishments has tended to reas
sure the community. However, time
will tell.

Mayor Seidel's announcement that
the party willing, he intends to run
again for mayor Milwaukee, will serve
20 turn all eyes away from Los Ange-
les and make the Cream city the focus
Of attention. Certainly there will be
few municipal elections in the country
next spring which will equal the Mil
waukee electioS in popular interest.
What will be the verdict of the people
Of that city on their first socialist ad-
.ninistration?
1t is still too early to make reliable
guess. The radical La Toilette forces
in Milwaukee are desperately anxious
to gain control of the city, but they
find it hard to attack the socialist adj
p1inistration without seeming to be
"reactionary" To be "reactionary''
anywhere in Wisconsin is to commit
one of the seven deadly sins. For this
reason the critical editorials in the
Milwaukee Journal-which is Senator
La Follette's organ-have been, on the
whole, highly entertaining. They have
sounded very much like the efforts OF
man on a tight rope to scold the
crowd beneath. The Journals crit
c!sms of Mayor Seidel have been earn
est, but spasmodic, and have been var
led with periods Of intense self-absorp
ton.

Comment From Capital

time the movement for a "dollar-a-
day" pension has been gaining force,
but while the old soldiers always were
promised relief by one republican ad-
ministration after another, these
promises were never made good.
The bill was passed after protract-
ed fight over certain proposed amend
ments, chief of which was a revision
to bar from its benefits those soldiers
who have not income in excess Of
$1,000 a year. This provision of the
bill was stricken out.
WHAT BILL CONVEYS.
AS it was finally passed, the Sher-
wood bill grants to all old soldiers
who served 80 days, SIS a month; six
months, $40; nine months, S25; one
year or more, $50.

bill. Mr. Clark has always been a

Monopoly Lowers Quality.

Louis D. Brandels, the noted Boston
lawyer who appeared before the SEN
ate committee on interstate and for
eign commerce, which Just now is in
vestigating the trust problem, put
some bad dents In the favorite argu-
ments OF those republicans who con-
tend that trusts are necessary to the
Industrial development Of this coun-
try.
George w. Perkins, former partner
Of J. p. Morgan, among Others of the
trust magnates who appeared before
the Stanley steel investigating commit
tee, had a great deal to say about the
economy of production" brought
about by the trusts. This. Mr.. Bran
deis, in his statement to The senate
committee, declared to be false In
theory, and of no value in its practical
application.
THE economies of monopoly are SUI
perfcial and elusive" Mr.. Brandeis
said. 1.-THE unit in business, under
the competitive system, may be toe
small, as the trusts contend 1t is, but
this unit may also be too large. The
danger is greater Of monopoly produc
ing too large unit for efficiency, thar
of competition producing to small g
one"
Mr.. Brandeis also pointei out thai
monopolies had a tendency to lower
the quality of their products, and hi
cited the number Of railroad accidents
due to poor rails, to prove his point
an 1903 there were II derailmentl
due to poor rails" he said. In 1911
after a decade of steel trust control
the number Of derailments was 249
Railway experts have repeatedly com
planned that they have been unable t.
get the trust to give them good rails
In this connection it will be remember
ed that the farmers of this countr
are complaining today because of tn
poorer quality Of fence wire they nov
J get"

During the decade between 1850
and 1850 an ocean steamer OF the
banks of Newfoundland while running
through a fog collided with sailing
vessel. The sailer sheered of, was lost
In the mist and was never heard from
again. In the bow of the steamer
hole was made under water. In these
days ocean liners are built with COM
partments, so that one compartment
may fill without the water extending
beyond 1t, but at that time water pour
ing in at one part of the ship had
free access to the rest. The conse-
quence was that the vessel gradually
settled, and the crew and passengers
knew that she must soon sink.
Among the latter was a lady and her
little daughter. six or seven years old.
The mother could procure but one life

child, and both entered one OF the boats

The Cost of Drowning the King.

1t cost 100000 to crown
George ruler OF India. The cere-
mony was accomplished with much
pomp and wealth of display.
Hundreds of thousands of the ma
tives OF India starve every year.
Their bodies lie out In the open for
carrion to feed upon. The flesh rots
and fills the atmosphere with the
germs of disease. Water sources are
poisoned. Then the plague breaks
out and the death rate mounts into
thousands a day.
II suits the fitness Of things to
spend 100000 In the browning OF
a ruler in such a country. They &c
logically together. Affiuence on the
one hand and poverty, disease. pes
thence and crime on the other.
But then there is young India, the
hope OF the future.
