The Money Trust.

The result of last nights caucus emit
ties the House democrats to congratula-
tions on two points: ID An extreme prop
osition on a most delicate and important
subject was rejected, and CD Speaker
Clark and Leader Underwood were up
held The vote was nearly two to one.
MI Bryan, Mr.. Henry and their sup
porters may be credited with good In
tentions, but there was peril to the
couu,ry in their plan for going after the
money trust 1t had the aspect of
campaign sensationalism, and had it been
adopted, credits of every kind might
have been unsettled. No special COM
mittee. however strong of intellect or
straightforward of purpose. could have
executed the commission so as to avoid
the pitfalls in such path. Its mail
would have been heavy with. hints and
charges of all kinds. and its meetings
have swarmed with men Indifferent to
the public good, but pulsing with de-
sires for personal revenge. Wall street
speculators-bulls and bears alike-would
have rioted in the opportunity. and the
committee could not have prevented 1t.
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Underwood had the
right of the matter. AS DESTROYS as their
opponents to set right whatever might be
wrong. they favored going about the
business in the regular form and by the
regular means. And they were the
stronger in their position because Of the
fact that the regular means offered
everything desirable in the premises
The standing committees Of the House
represent the best Judgment of both
sides. The majority members were
picked by a picked committee and that
action was approved by the majority,
white the minority members, though
picked in different way, were yet as
clearly the choice of that side.
What will be ordered by the House
should be we'll and thoroughly done and
doubtless will be so done. The money
trust may not be as powerful or as black
as described. Something Is always to be
allowed for interested exaggerations In a
case where large agsregations of wealth
are contending for advantage. A cor
poration has no soul. Neither has the
almighty dollar. But the individuals be-
hind both are controlled by everyday
human nature, and not all the bad men
one side.
Still as the House has large powers,
let the country be advised of just what
is meant by the term money trust"
VINO compose it? From what point or
points are the strings pulled? How far,
and in what directions. do those strings
lead? How many different business in
terests are at the mercy of. and have
been injured by, the. exercise Of the
trusts influence? All of this can be de-
veloped by the action the House has
decided to take through its regular
committees.
Meanwhile Representative Oscar w.
Underwood would be justified In present.
ing his compliments to William j. Bryan,
and asking him what he is going to do
about 1t.

4 Wise Educator.

The politicians are politely but firmly
warned to keep away from Charlottes-
willie. President Alderman is not open
to proposition from that source. HIS
work at the University of Virginia suits
him, and he has no thought OF changing
from educator to office-seeker.
The decision reflects high credit on his
Judgment, and should add to his success
in his chosen field. 1t should increase
respect for him, and add to the attend
ance at the seat of learning over which
he presides. Young men are we'll placed
under the care of one whose aim is sim
gle, and directed solely to their train
ing and betteiment. DR.. Aidermafl's am
bition is of the single-track variety.
The subject of education In Virginia
recalls the exalted Importance Gen. Lee
attached to 1t at the close of the civil
war. He had emerged from that struggle
with great prestige, both as soldier and
man. and might have dictated his own
terms as to future employment. He had
offers that were tempting in the matter
Of money, but not tempting to man OF
his purposes. Like AgasslZ, he had no
time to waste on making money. See
ing the inestimable value of training the
youth of his state and section in their
duties to the reunited country, he ac-
cepted the presidency of a college at a
small salary. and gave the remainder Of
his days to that object.
AS he had been the leading soldier of
the south in the war, he now became by
his advertisement of the new conditions
the leading influence for good there in
the new times of peace. Young men
from all the southern states came to
him and were inspil ed by him. And they
may be found today scattered over the
country, and the better and more useful
as citizens for the preparation they en-
joyed at the hands of great man en-
gagged in q great work.
by his choice, Gen. Lee retired from
what is called publicity. He did not fig
ure in the newspapers. He was not fol-
lowed after and cheered by noisy crowds
whenever he stirred from home. Core
spondents were not assigned to roost on
MS dOorsteps, or wayiay him on his re-
turn from market or the post office, and
extract from him an opinion.
But did he miss anything that would
nave benefited him? Suppose he had
gone into politics, and been pulled and
nauled by bosses and their kind for their
purposes. Suppose he had yielded to
their Establishments and played the
game, shifting his foot at their signal,
and passing from one view to another In
the twlnKing of an eye. Suppose he
mad thus become the center of snariIng
mob, some yelling for, and others al,
MIN.
But no such suppositions are possible
in his case. AS an educator, devoted to
his work in spirit Of patriotism, Gen.
Lee performed his greatest service to
| his section, his country and himself. DR..
Alderman is copying a noble example.

Bill Bivvins doesn't tell the truth

Bill Bivvins doesn't tell the truth;
At least, not all the time.
And yet We welcome him, in sooth,
With an affection prime.
He tells the ladies they are all
The fairest of their race;
Likewise he says their children small
Have wondrous wit and grace.
He tells each statesman that his speech
Ranks as a classic rare.
Whateer the goal you fain would reach
He strives to boost you there.
With friendly talk since early youth
Good cheer he's tried to bring.
Bill Bivvins doesn't tell the truth,
But he IS comforting!

Taft's Strength Growing
From the Philadelphia Press


That the leaders and the rank and file
alike Of the republican party are in vir-
tual agreement that President Taft is
the logical and deserving candidate to

cago next June has been made still more
evident by events of the last few days
phatic in it's approval of the sober, con-
sentative, but thoroughly progressive
management which has marked it under
President Taft's administration. 1t aims
at reconstruction and not destruction
aids the evolution of old remedies to meel
new evils and Is determined to lose moth
ing that is good in the past, while seek
ing all that is good in the future.

China Must Be Held Together.
From the Cleveland Leader.

The greatest peril which confronts the
Chinese nation today is the danger that
their ancient empire will be broken into
two or more parts. 1t does not matter
so much what may become of the out
lying dependencies, Mongolia. Tibet and
Chinese Turkestan are not vital to the
welfare of China. Even Manchuria,
which is more Chinese now than Manchu,
might be lost without touching the life
of the Chinese as q nation. But China
itself must be kept together IL the
Chinese are to have any chance to work
out their national salvation.

Attitude Toward Mexico.
From tine New York Tribune.

This country wants peace and order
maintained in Mexico. Therefore it will
do all that 1t properly can do to assure
that end. That does not mean interven-
ton. 1t does mean precisely such q
guarding of the marches as the Presi-
dent is now providing for. 1t also means,
or should mean, on the part of the press
and people of the United States q tone
and an attitude of sympathy with the
constitutional government of Mexico and
thorough disapproval of the conduct of
those who for sordid or other unworthy
reasons are plotting to disturb and de-
stroy it.
