enough, but not to abuse and in
suit.

Judge Gary of the Steel Trust,
former President Roosevelt, An
drew Carnegie and many others
equally conspicuous in CONNER
cial and political affairs of today
are in fair way to get upon
common ground as to how the
big industrial corporations shall
be dealt with. There must be
stability. that is the drift of
opinion, and that stability must
be supported by government
control-regulation by the peo-
pie in the interest of the con-
sumer. The elimination of all
competition is sought. While
this may not take monopolized
Industries out of the hands of
private capitalism altogether, it
is apparent that these industries
have passed the bounds where
private control is no longer ten
able or even desirable. We are
beyond doubt close upon an era
when the people will take charge
of the great public utilities.
This is not the adopted program
of either the Republican Or Dem
ocratic parties, but it is being
forced upon them both by the
evolution of public opinion.
When VIM. J. Bryan came home
from an European tour a few
years ago and announced that
public ownership of the railroads
of America was what we needed,
he was laughed at even by his
Democratic friends. If he were
to repeat this assertion today no
one would laugh at him. W. J.
B. was merely a few years ahead
of public opinion.

A canned" editorial in sever
al of our Democratic exchanges
last week, commenting upon the
St. Louis Globe Democrats S con-
tention that there was nothing
left for the Democrats to pursue
any longer in the matter of their
fraud charges in connection with
the election in St. Louis last fall,
says: THE Globe may have
been foolish enough to think that
the Democrats would stop the
contest with the recount of the
votes in the boxes. but nobody
else was that silly This is
quite correct, no one who knows
the Missouri Democracy will be
silly enough to believe it will
stop at anything to regain its
former hold upon the political
power of the state any more than
it hesitated at nothing to retain
that hold whlle the party had it.
The election annals of St. Louis
while the Democratic party con-
trolled the election and police
boards there are replete with
every crime in the calender, even
murder, to make the balloting
secure for that party. Rufian-
ism, assaults ana intimidation of
voters not casting Democratic
ballots was the regular election
day order in St. Louis in those
days, now only few years past,
and the police had orders not to
interfere on pain of losing their
jobs. la fact. the police force
was regularly assessed for the
funds to pay the hired hoodlums
and Indians that blocked and
slugged the honest citizen at the
polls who attempted to vote as
his conscience dictated This
order of things is what the Dem
ocratic party hopes to restore
through the contests it is now
pursuing through the devious
ways of legal processes. The
charge that the Republican vic
tory in St. Louis at the last elec-
ton was the result OF ballot box
stuffing has no other foundation
| in the Democratic mind than the
guilty knowledge that it was
only by such methods that the
Democrats carried an election in
that city.

Don't Worry, It's Too Hot.

This is the season of year
when everybody should take out
a policy in the Don't Worry Club.
From his dealings with the peo-
pie the Banner man judges that
there is a good deal of biliousness
abroad just now, and we guess
that we occasionally give some
of our friends cause to suspect
that the editorial liver also is not
entirely healthy.
This is the season when the
good citizen goes merrily forth
with a chip on his shoulder and
murder in his heart, seeking
cause to harpoon his best friend,
suspecting everybody of trying
to do him up. harboring 81 vari-
ties OF the crouch, scenting i'll
treatment where none exists,
cussing the ice man, upbraiding
the butcher, denying his store
account, stopping his newspaper,
abusing his wife, beating his
children, and the Lord knows
what all else of meanness
without the slightest reason in
the world except that the wealth
er is hot and his liver is bad.
In the cities, which are cav
erns of misery at the best, moth
ing short Of purgatory prevails
now. Many of the poor mis-
guided city mortals, with little,
if any justification for their rash
ness, are killing themselves,
when as matter of fact, what
they ought to do is to exercise a
little will power and refuse posi-
lively to yield to worry, at the
same time consulting a doctor
about their liver, that organ of
sleepless deviltry and source of
