Money and Politics.

The new member of the democratic ma
tional committee from Missouri is de-
scribed as "a rich man Of St Louis"
He succeeds the late Moses Wetmore,
who also was a rich man.
The chairman of the committee con-
Quoting the democratic campaign in
Kentucky is rich man. with but small
experience in politics. 1t Is safe to say
that but for his wealth he would never
have been thought of for the office He
deals on a large scale in lumber. Is il
supposable that had his line been shing es
or kindling wood by the bundle ne would
ever have been called from his modest
trading quarters? But as he was man
of wealth and large business he received
a call. and being man of ambition and
a partisan of zeal he accepted it,
And yet the cry of the day in both
parties Is the necessity of divorcng
all sides that too much money is used in
campaigning: that voters are bought like
eatt e in the market: that legislation is
pledged in advance for campaign SUBJ
scriptions.
IL is not to be charged. of course, that
this Missou:ian or this Kentuckian has
uttii Sc!tttcu " lOTWdTQ Il corrupt pro-
gram, and in accepting his place has
undertaken TO make good in his place
Both are men of high personal character,
and enjoy the respect of their associates
The point is that in party matte S

campaign work and those who conduct

are chosen for committee places upon
two grounds: % their ability to SUBJ
scribe literally themselves. and (2) their
ability to collect literally from others
Their means and position give them IA &c

party's behalf

The Law and Big Business.

Enforce the law. Such is the duty of
every executive. from highest to lowest
II the law is good, only good can follow.
IL the law is bad. its Objectionable fea-
lures are exposed and amendments sug-
gested. But. good or bad the Jaw must
be enforced No executive has any choice
in the premises 1t is not for even the
President to decide In such matter. He
cannot make fish OF one statute and flesh
OF another. All eractments on the books
demand his attention.
Respect the law. Such is the duty of
every individual. corporation or combina-
ton Any other course Is fraught with

transgressor be eminent and influential.
Then lesser lights are likely to copy a
bad example. and Generalization spreads.

Gov. Harmon Packing His Grip.

Gov. Harmon, 1t Is reported is to make
little journey in the world. Is to swing
around the circle. as the phrase is. Will
so as far as San Francisco, where Ohio
will participate few years hence in the
great show celebrating the opening of
the Panama canal Must hurry, on ac-
count Of important business at home, but
will have time enough to stop here and
there and address j few words to those
who may have gathered to pay their
respects.
Well. why not? Is not such a step not
only the Buckeye statesman's privilege.
but his duty? Has not President Taft,
who is likely to he renominated. just con-
cluded a journey? Has not Gov. Wilson
recently visited the south and the north
west not wholly for his health? Is not
Speaker Clark on his rounds as a lee
turer, cheering old friends and making
many new ones? Is not Mr.. Bryan con-
tinually on the swing. talking on a va
riety of subjects, but politics always pre-
ferred? Why. then, should not Gov. Har-
mon, who also has his eyes on the White
House. try his tongue and hand on the
multitude for delegate-getting purposes?
The west is 1.-The enemy's coun-
say. it is the section where Mr.. Bryan
finds his strongest support, and he is op-
posed to the proposition to nominate the
governor for President VIII this jour-
ney change any material degree of SEN
timent there? Will Gov. Harmon, coming
face to face with the western people for
the first time, be able to neutralize the
Bryan opposition and do little business
for himself?
1t is not clear today why Mr.. Bryan
so warmly antagonizes the Ohio execu-
tive 1t cannot be because of the latter s
course in 1896. for Mr.. Bryan has for
given the same thing in others. 1t can
not be because OF the support from the
liquor interests that Gov. Harmon re-
ceived in both Of his races for his present
office, for, strongly as Mr.. Bryan fights
against those interests at home, he miti-
gates his fury elsewhere. He has Just
concluded a whirlwind canvass in Ken
lucky. speaking for ticket whose whole
hope of success is socketed in the activ-
ity and devotion of the liquor men.
Maybe this journey will throw some
light on this interesting subject Maybe
somewhere a speech will be made, or an
interview given, by Mr.. Bryan, or some
body in his confidence. provoked by the
Harmon invasion, which will give a clue
to what Is now a sort of national mys-
terry.

A Simple Distinction.

The egoist pours forth his song
With ever placid mind:
THE difference 'twixt right and wron
Is easily defined.
When a suggestion | present
On topics great or slight,
Regardless of all argument,
THAT'S RIGHT.
And when, upon the other hand,
Some rival sage butts in
With arts of language at command
Your confidence to win,
And contradicts what / may claim,
With reasoning mild Or strong,
The answer always is the same:
THAT'S WRONG"

great trusts have been condemned in
court and are In course OF reorganiza-
ton. A third has been cited to appear in
court on charges. Others are uneasy and
fear citation there. Trade in certain lines
Is halted. Investors with money i'm hand
are holding back.
The situation is grave but could, and
would. be greatly improved through diff
ferent course by the interests Immediately
affected. An impression prevails that
those interests have not given up the
fight: that they are planning an evasion
in some way of the Supreme Courts de-
crees. whereby the advantages enjoyed
under an old form may be continued
under a new.
The interests may reply that they cam
not help or provide against public sus-
picion; that they are active for dividends,
and must regulate their activities with
dividends In view; that If they have the
pick of the American bar in their pay
1t is for the purpose of securing the best
advice as to their rights and the exercise
of them.
Nevertheless there is a widespread feel
ing that as the law has been violated
once it will be again. The same advisers
that shaped the old course will shape the
new. The British officer in South Africa
who had found the Beers unbeatable by
a frontal attack inquired If there was
not some way around" The trust gen.
erals are constantly seeking some way
around. and have often succeeded in
finding one.
This reduces the matter to the PROPOSE
ton, Can big business as We now know
it, he conducted proitably within the
law-within any law based upon the long
accepted order OF business? Has either
the law or big business to go? When
Congress meets discussion will play in

TWIN CITY PAPERS

Six daily newspapers having COM

les have pledged their active support
tothe land show Of the northwestern
Development League to be held in st.
Paul this winter. Each of the six pa
pers will issue one or more special
editions devoted to development news
ct the northwest. All will publish
commercial news from the northwest
which is IL decided boost for cities and
sections.
This announcement is made be-
cause some other land shows are urg-

will get more for their money because
the shows are owned by newspapers,
said Secretary Campbell.
"The six daily newspapers Of the
Twin City have given us their assnr-
rance that they will each do just as
much for the enterprise and for the
exhibitors ut the st. Paul show as any
paper can do which owns a land show.
"As we have said from the first this
show is not owned by any interest but
isa cooperative proposition from the
foundation up. That is why the six
big newspapers in the Twin City got
behind it. They are for the north
west. 1t is their field. They have an
enormous circulation among people
who are likely to be looking toward
the northwest us their future home.
They want their readers who must
