A Wave of Reform.

Tho Inaugural addresses Of the COVER
nors recently inducted into ONCE have
been chorus Of demands for remedial
:legisaatinn to permit tho people Of the
SStates and nation larger share In their
own government These recommenda,-
tions have taken a wide range-direct phi
smarfes. the initiative, the referendum,
kthe recall. commissions for the control Of
tpublic service corporations. State anti
trust Laws, restrictions in the use of In
functions. the crbing Of the political
tpower Of corporations. the Limitation of
the use OF money in elections, a Federal
s3ncome tax. &c
Such things we're to be expected OF Gov.
Marshall. OF Indiana; Gov. Kitchin, of
North Carolina, and even of Gov Plaisted,
OF Maine, and Gov. Baldwin. of Connect
cut, all OF whom are Democrats, since
most Of the changes which they desire
have been urged in recent years by DEM
socratic national conventions in their
platforms. But Gov. Foss, of Massachu-
sets; Gov. Bass. of New Hampshire, and
Gov. Osharn. of Michigan, all OF whom
are Republicans. have been just as en-
phatic in their pronouncements for these
things as the Democrats Indeed. they
have set forth the necessity for these
enactments with greater visor of Ian
Euage and sincerity of purpose even
more striking. These programmes would
have seemed radical. even startling. a
few years ago. Especially in conserva-
tive New England they have even yet a
disturbing sound to the old line rofiti-
clans Nevertheless. it is certain they re-
fleet the determination of the citizens of
those States if not of the entire coun-
try, to abolish certain abuses which have
crept into the government, and to place
the election of officers. the enactment of
laws, and the administration of public
affairs more and more firmly IN the hands
of the people themselves.
1t is not to be supposed that these re-
forms can be easily accomplished in any
State. much less in the country at large

every inch of the way along which these

interested men of the highest character

opposed to changes in political methods
Yet the battle is on, and the aroused con-
science of the country is being led by
few men of strong courage and tfreIess

HUMAN NATURE IN WASHINGTON

This ones going to be Q chronicle oi

that was recalled regretfully by Charles
Warren himself during his recent visit
to this town.
During the last Presidential campaign
they had Mr.. Fairbanks making a rapid
fire. rear-platform speaking tour Of the
State of Indiana in behalf Of the Repub-
ican cause.
The multitude gathered about the rear
platform when the Fairbanks special
pulled into one of the smaller Hoosiel
towns and the Vice President began to
address them.

marked among other things, Ito plead

high wages and protection to American
manufactures. I am here in behalf Of

pals. the party that is responsible for
such grand. big manufacturing institu-
tions as that one right over there" and
he pointed toward a big building cover
ing an acre or two q block away. He
paused for the round OF applause that
this appeal to local pride should have
school rules Of campaigning.
But there was never a sound. Local
pride in the manufacturing industries of
that community seemed to be on
crutches. Before the speaker had time
to continue his remarks a big switch
engine bumped into his train and nearly
Jared him over the railing. Then the
crowd applauded. But they stopped when
they glanced back toward the big factory
building and recalled the reference to
that
Now. what was the matter with that
manufacturing plant and with the people
Of that town. anyhow? Some sort of ex-
PLANTATION seems to be due at this point.
Here 1t is:
A few months previous a pair Of we'll
dressed promoters had stepped of a
Pullman on No. IA into that enterprising
little place and interested the good
townspeople in a proposition to move a
big plant there from another citySa
plant that would employ some 400 men
right at the start and more as rapidly as
the business grew to vaster proportions
which. the gentlemen assured the good
citizens, wouldn't be long. All that was
expected Of the natives Of the thriving
little city was for them to subscribe to a
little matter OF p75.ooo worth Of stock in
the new concern! stock that would pay a
dividend Of anywhere from 3 to n per
cent
Wen. nearly everybody in town sub
scribed for stock. Some took only a
share. and others, anxious to be in on
the ground floor mortGaged their homes.
but all held stock in greater or less
amounts. And the big plant was built
But that was as far as the new industry
ever got. for the promoters had vast in
terests elsewhere that took so much Of
their time they couldn't see to things
there So the factory lay idle.

done SO much to make a mock Of the law:
st is the lawyers themselves who, by
taking skilled advantage Of most STUPID
technicalities. do so much to cause their
profession to be disesteemed that it is no
wonder that whole communities some

matters in their own hands and execute

tice, covering almost every branch of
the law, where he continued for ten or
twelve years, when he moved to San

original work in two volumes on ''Indi-
ana Evidence. Pleading, Practice, and

The tuberculosis Curse.

Of the Journal Of Outdoor Life a sum-
mary is made of the expenditures by the
fighting to eradicate tuberculosis. It is
announced that no less than $15,OOo OG0

as that expended the year beforehand

have been many more poor victims whom

were able to pay for their own treat

the terrible ravages tuberculosis is work

1t is gratifying to learn-as this is
fair indication of the general interest in
the matter-that &C per cent of all the
money expended was appropriated from
public funds, money contributed by the
people. The rest Of the money spent
came from private sources. New York
spent the largest amount Of money in
the tuberculosis war. Pennsylvania was

The Question of Potash.

There Is little sense in heated discus
sions Of proposed retaliatory measures to
be taken by this country because Of the
export tax which Germany has placed
on potash The fact that she has placed
such a tax is undoubted, and the State
Department has. we are assured. taken
! steps to investigate the matter in a
businessIike and thorough way. What,
after all, tho State Department has alone
to determine is whether or not the ex-
port tax on potash is a normal protective
measure on the part of Germany or is
actually a discrimination against Ameri-
can trade.
from Germany comes to this country. and
the merchants who buy it for use in their
manufactures have. we believe. rather
hastily Jumped at the conclusion that the
tax imposed was intended as a discrimi-
nation against America And these mer-
chants have called upon the admin
istration to resent Germanys action, by
putting in force some retaliatory measure
We hope that whatever steps are taken
in this small but important matter will
be conservative and dignifed- There is
certainly neither sense nor good feeling
in talking. with so little knowledge of
the facts or the motives which have m
spired Germany's action, of a tariff war
or any other form Of reprisaI 1t is quite
true that the action of Germany bears
rather hardly on the American users of
German potash, but it should be remem-
bered that the German government con-
tends that its action has no reference
to any desire to discriminate against this
country. 1t claims that it placed the
export tax on potash solely with a view
to conserving its supply. The German
government also points out that the fact
that the tax bears heaviest on Americans
are the heaviest users of potash In its
principle. the export tax applies equally
to every country.
The whole controversy is one that
should be susceptible of an easy and
amicable arrangement Certainly this
government cannot question the right of
Germany to enact any measure it chooses
looking to the conservation of her re-
sources All we may reasonably hope
for is a consideration by Germany of the
fact that We are the heaviest importers of
her potash: that the new tax bears most
heavily upon our merchants, and that be
cause We are her best tradesmen we are
entitled to such trade consideration as
she feels able to grant
In the meantime. let it be remembered
that our State Department which has
shown itself efficient, capable, and will
ing. has the whole matter in its hands,
and that any incorporate talk of retalia-
ton or Of a tariff war can only impede.
not help. such negotiations as are in
progress.

As Senators Would See Il.

From the kansR Gty Times.
d. w. Holstlaw, an Illinois State sena-
tor who confessed to receiving bribe in
the Lorimer election, sent his resignation
to Gov. Dineen Saturday. At least. this
is what the public supposes has hap
pened.
II the matter should come before the
Senate's Committee on Privileges and
Elections it would give the country to un-
derstand:
!. That Senator Holstlav never receiv-
ed bribe; that when he said he did he
was mistaken, and therefore that he had
no reason to resign.
2 That the senator has not resigned.
The letter of resignation didn't really
mean what 1t said. and anyway, there
was no bribery in Lorimer's election. so
that Holstlaw Is still member in good
and regular standing. with no intention Of
severing his connection with the State
senate.
And then Senator Burrows. OF Michi-
gan: Senator Bailey. OF Texas. and the
others would express panied surprise
that the country should be bit skep-
tical.
