A Dark Horse.

/ Henry Watterson is quoted as ex
pecting dark horse to issue from the
next Democratic national convention
The field of presidential aspirants is SC
good, and the supporters of those in
evidence so capable and Industrious, he
thinks deadlock and new man like
ly.
| Mr.. Watterson likes politics, is a vet
eran player of the game, and If he has
not always risked in the stakes, has
probably enjoyed himself shufiiing and
studying the cards as much as any man
of his day.
Several years ago, it will be remem-
bered, he saw fate grooming a dark
horse for the Democracy. At thattime
Mr. Bryan looked formidable, but not
irresistible, for third try at the White
House. Men ike Mr.. Watterson who
had never been enthusiastic about the
Nebraskan where hoping to find sub
stitute, and after a search Mr.. Waiter
son attracted attention with the cry of
Eureka"
In Mr.. Watterson's case there is
something of the artist grated on the
politician, and this led him TO with
hold at the start the name of his dis
covery. The country became curious
and national guessing-bee resulted.
Who might be the Wattersonian dark
horse?
II proved to be Gov. johnson, of
Minnesota, who had twice, on the
strength of strong personality and
demonstrated ability carried Repub
lican State. He was of humble eXtrac-
tion--on the Lincoln order-and had
attained prominence and power with
out other aid than his native gifts. He
was promising man, and had he lived
might have made some national history.
But death claimed him, just as his own
hopes, and those OF others for him,
were rising high.
Again Mr. Watterson stops with the
suggestion of a dark horse. He does
not name him. But if he did the ami
nal would cease to he dark. Mr. Wat
tersons pen is luminous, and when he
points to a man he becomes conspicu.
Gus.
But if the convention is halted by the
stubborn contentious of the supporters
of the candidates now in evidence, why
would not Mr.. Bryan, the whitest nag
in sight, and not dark one, be the
best solution Of the difficulty? The Will
son men failing to land would like him.
The Clark men are Organizes under
another name. In Indiana the Mar
shall men have three times gone to the
polls and pumped for the peerless
leader. The Harmon men do not like
Mr.. Bryan, nor he them, but the Har-
monites are not going to rule the
roost.
Would Mr.. Watterson accept Mr..
Bryan again? He has twice done SO,
and Kentucky remains fond Of the
Blackwater orator. Mr.. Byran did not
visit New York, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts or Maryland this year, but he
went to Kentucky and helped whoop
things up for his party. And at one of
his meetings he was nominated for the
presidency again by brother-in-law of
Ollie James, and the crowd roared its
approval of the suggestion.
a dark horse for the White House
stakes? 1t may be the whitest one in
the bunch--the steed that three times
has gone over the course.

''Thu Mcnamara Ways and Means
Committee, which says that organized
labor should not be held either legally
or morally responsible for the acts of
individuals need not fear shat any
thing of that kind will occur. Guilt
is always personal and crime always
the act of an individual or individuals.
OF course organized labor is not guilty
OF the Los Angeles outrage, or any one
of other dynamiting outrages that
have been perpetrated during the last
six years of controversy between labor
and capital. The question is whether
individuals representing organized la
Dor disappearing a large majority
Of its constituent members, of course
participated in the plots that led to
the commission of the crimes. No one
OF a fair degree of intelligence, or an
intelligent degree of fairness, will hold
organized labor as a whole to blame.
Capitalistic trusts have been very,
anxious indeed to have the guilt of in
dividuals connected with corporations
held impersonal. AS long as u corpor-
alton is held to be the door of its acts,
and its guilt corporate the law can
not reach the actual criminals. The
corporation can be fined, but it can pay
its fines without inconvenience. 1t can
not be put in prison. The reverse of
the picture is shown in the situation
created by the confessions of the Nc
Namaras. Had the McNamaras been
employees Of "A capitalistic trust and vi
olated the law independently, and with
out advice, thev would have been per-
sonally and solely guilty, although If
they had been officers Of the corpora
ton the treasury of the corporation
would have beer Opened to high pric-
ed lawyers in an effort to prove them
personally guiltless. If they had been
humble employees of the corporation,
let us say weighers ofsugar in a custom
house tamperlng with scales in the in
terest OF the corporation, they alone
could he sent TO the penitentiary if no
others than they could be proven
guilty, but the public would not be
satisfied with the outcome and would
believe someone higher up primarily
responsible for the infraction of the
law.
That the McNamaras went about
dynamiting property upon their own
hook nobody believes. TO find out
who backed them is important, and to
convict those who were primarily re.
sponsble is Of vastly greater import
ance than TO imprison, or even to ex
ecute, anyone who handled the dyna
mite. But If investigation reveals tn,
guilt OF anyone higher up the guilt o
the men upstairs will be personal
just as that Of the officers of any cor
poration. OF course, organized labol
cannot be held legally responsible fol
murder, and Of course it cannot b,
held that if certain Of its representa-
tiyes mapped cut a campaign of argu
ment with dynamite TO influence tn,
results of controversies the workin,
men composing organized labor ar,
guilty.
But while the guilt OF the McNamar
as is personal it is inconceivable tina
there are not other and more importan
individuals who are as guilty personal

NEW YORK, May 26.-News Of the
morning was of rather encouraging
tenor and the market responded with
some large advances, modest recoveries
and fractional gains. Chairman Gary,
of the United States Steel Corporation,
is coming back and will at once inaugu-
rate series Of conferences with inde-
pendents and other steel manufacturers
with a view of stopping anything ap-
preaching disastrous competition and
price cutting. The technical position of
the market has been greatly improved
by the re-establishment of a large
short interest, and the action of the In
terstate Commerce Commission in per-
mitting an advence in grain rates from
South Dakota points East had a good
effect, 1t being the first increase
allowed since 1906. 1t caused favor
able comment. On the other hand a
delegation of representatives of rail-
roads operating between this point and
Chicago will visit Washington to pro-
test to the commission against reduc-
tions in rates on the Erie and Delaware

said to be in a quandary as to whether

ADMITS PURPOSE
OF ASSOCIATION TO
FIX PAPER PRICE
A. C. Hastings Closely Ques-
toned BY Senate Finance
Committee.

President Arthur c. Hastings, of the
American Paper and Pulp Association.
before the Finance Committee today,
skated on the edge of admission that
the association was formed for the pur-
pose Of fixing prices. He did not admit
this in terms but he did admit enough
to the committee to make 1t clear that
this was the real purpose of the organi-
zation.
After Mr.. Hastings had told his ver-
sion of the paper business, pictured the
damages reciprocity would inflict, and
after he had told the committee that he
refused to recognize any statement on
paper making made by John Norris. and
that Norris statements were not true,
he was taken in hand by Senators Stone
and Williams. They grilled him al
length about just what he and his asso-
citation were doing.
They Need Education.
1t appears Mr.. Hastings is kept In
New York with offices and on salary
by the association, of which there are
about $50 members.
Mr. Hastings, when asked what he
was employed to do, said:
"I endeavor to educate the manufac-
turers Of paper to get all they can"
do they need any such education?'
asked Senator Williams.
Yes" said the witness. "Ihey didn't
know the condition of the market. I
endeavor to inform them by gathering
statistics"
In response to a fire Of questions, Mr..
he nh- Go
ures as to the monthly output of paper
that he applied these figures TO all the
members of the association. that in
case the supply was greater than the
demand he advised curtailment of pro-
duction. and that he did all this with
form price for paper.
Tells of Visit to Canada.
I'm other words. your association
regulates the supply?' asked Senator
Stone.
1T does not" said Hastings.
He explained that while he frequently
all the members Of the organization fol-
lowed his advice.
Then of what value are you," asked
Senator Stone. IF they don't follow your
advice?"
Hastings was not willing to put n
value on his services.
He told the committee about having
visited Canada and talked with Cana
dian paper manufacturers. He was
questioned closely as to what he said to
them.
u said the Canadian commissioners
had gone down to Washington and put
1t ali over the American commissioners,
Just like a tent" said Hastings. This
caused a laugh in the committee room.

was present this morning to protest
against the agreement for the agricultu-
raj interests of that State.
