THIS is a Washington dispatch
to the Kansas City Post, dated Jan.
9. 1t reads a little queerly, but we
common folk can't expect to I'M
derstand such matters as this re-
lates to. Still, one can't help
wondering that that which was
cause for heart breaking contest
yesterday is to-day become a
thing of unanimous agreement:
Uncle Joe came back today,
and the house insurgents went
down to defeat in a fight on the
rules. The precedent established
by the day and night fight against
Cannon last March was overruled
by an overwhelming majority OF
the house, 233 to 60, the Democrats
deserting the insurgents and vot-
ing almost solidly with the regu-
lars in support of the speaker.
Today's action practically null
fed the whole effect of the insurg-
ent fight against Cannonism and
the rules and marked the end OF
the insurgent- Democrat alliance
by which the power of the Cannon
machine and the regulars was
curbed. 1t was a reputation Of
the principle that the house can at
any time take up the question OF
reforming its rules as a matter OF
constitutional privilege.

BY an assinine provision of law
a contest for the Office of Railway
Commissioner cannot be settled in
the Supreme Court, as in case of
other State officers, but the Legis-
lature only can take cognizance of
it. Another provision requires
that such contest must be settled
before the Legislature can proceed
with its other business. On the
face of the returns Mr.. Wightman
was elected Railway Commission
er by more than 5000 votes; but
Mr.. Bradbury contends that more
than 10000 illegal votes were cast
for his opponent: hence the con-
test. In this connection the Kan
sas City Post says:
"Mr. Bradbury and Mr.. Wight
man should arrive at some agree
ment whereby the legislative ma
chinery may keep on running
while their contest is being heard
and determined. The means to
this end can easily be found, pro-
vlded both parties are willing. If
either refuses an offer that will be
1alr to both he will not get any
sympathy from the people of
Missouri, now or hereafter. The
business of a state is of far more
Importance than the color of po-
lltical faith held by any of its Of
icials."

HE following, taken from an
article by Thomas Scanlon in the
Chicago Public, is worthy your
reading, even in these days of
much tariff talk: "That the Tariff
Board may do some useful things
is not to be denied. If it can sue
coed in "translating the tariff into
English" by issuing a glossary
which will enable the average con-
sumner to know how much he is
taxed on each item, and the facts
showing why he is so taxed, it will
have justified its existence. If it
submits figures which demonstrate
that in some cases the duties ex-
coed by 500 per cent. the difference
in labor cost at home and abroad,
it will have dealt a powerful side
blow to the present law. But such
evidence will only be collateral.
1t does not touch the core of the
question. The core of the ques-
ton is that the producer exists for
the consumer and not the consum-
er for the producer, and that prices
and not costs are of vital concern
to the community. When prices
are brought down to their natural
level, costs may then be easily in
ferred if anybody is interested in
so academic a question. To say
that the manufacturer exists for
the consumer and that the latter
should always have the first con-
a%ideration, may sound very strange
to modern degenerate ears. Our
government has for a whole CEN
fury made the manufacturer the
object of it's special care, and left
the consumer to- the tender mer-
cies. The result is that our pam
pered manufacturers, bred up in
the tradition of closed markets, and
accustomed to the pocketing Of un.
earned profits, looked upon the
hundred millions of American
consumers much as they would
upon a flock Of sheep which they
are at liberty to shear at will. Nor
has this illusion lacked dramatic
support from the attitude of the
timid consumers, who have played
the part of sheep only too faith
fully. But the consumers at last
have revolted. They may not
know the principles of information.
al trade, but they know when they
are cold and hungry and when the
dinner pail is empty. They are
now in no mood to stand tamely
by while the Tariff Board is cal
culating costs, when they know
that the manufacturer has two sets
of prices--one for the American
consumer, and another, a lower
one, for the foreigner. They want
to know why the prices are not ae
low here as in England, seeing thai
with our natural resources, our un'

THE government completes with
us in printing return cards on en-
velopes. 1t does the work at prices
that would mean starvation to US
who live by the cart preventative"
That government thus enters into
competition with private business
is outrageous. 1t ought not be en-
dured for a day; yet years of ef-
fort have failed to eliminate the
wrong. But a bill to that end has
passed the House and is now pend
ing in the Senate. 1t may, or may
not, pass; much depends upon
the strength of ''pull" exerted
against so righteous an act. There
