The recent accident to the Federal Express is said to have been occas- toned by a broken rail. Many raii- road wrecks in this country within q year or two have been due to broken rails, and the charge is made that the rails have been steadily deteriorating in quality since the Steel Trust gain ed control of the steel business of the United States. Louis D. Brandeis, the peoples lawyer" has brought forward this fact to show decreased efficiency in trust methods. The In- ter State Commerce Commission in it's last annual report considers the dan gers arising from this source.
 In the decade from 1902 to 1910. inclusive, 2,O59 derailments have oc- cured by reason of broken rails, in which 1o6 persons have been killed and 4,112 injured with accompanying E property damage of $2,S34,464.
 During the same period 'derail- ments due to defective roadway, such as broken rails, spreading rails, soft track, bad ties, sun kink, irregular track and miscellaneous defects have cost 415 lives, the injury of 12,89s persons and a property loss of $S.-

THE PRESENT UTILITY OF LINCoLNS VIEWS

stance which will be found as mo- mentous in it's effect upon the future of the country as was the Dred Scott l decision, though the great revolutions ary changes the decision has precipi- tated may not be accompanied by much violence.
 Also like page from the present was Lincoln's attitude toward labor and capital, to which MT. Cochran re- ferred with moving eloquence. The gist of Lincoln's thought upon this message, in which he said:
 It is not needed nor fitting here that general argument should be made there is one point to which I ask d brief attention. It is the effort e to pla e capital on an equal footing with, if not above, labor in the structure that labor is available only in con nection with capital; that nobody abors unless somebody else owning capital, somehow by the use of 1t in duceJ him to labor. *+* Now there is no such relation between capital and labor as that assumed, nor is there any such thing as free man being fixed for life in the condition of d hired iabOrer-%** Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could never have existed without labor. La bor is the superior of capital and de- serves much higher consideration.
 A half century has elapsed since these words were penned. The pre- cepts contained in them are but com ing to fruitage in the nation. The leading statesmen of the day have turned their attention, in response to overwhelming public demand, to the destruction of judicial usurpation by the exercise of legislative powers by courts.
 The burning questions of the hour concern the means by which the rights of labor shall finally and for ever be placed above the rights of capital in the structure of our govern ment.

The Lincoln oration of Hon. W. Bourke Cochran, last night, before the Winter Chautauqua was like a mes sage of the present, so purely did the views and principles of the great president. as outlined by him meet the immediate issues5of the day.
 The speakers review of the Dred Scott case was rnasteriy, in brevity and scope. In this case, as the read CT will remember, Congress had adopt ed the Missouri Compromise, by which a portion of the states were dedicated to freedom and a portion to slavery. G Scott .eyvas a slave whose master took him to free soil. Then was the slave taken to the slave soil of Missouri again. Scott brought suit to secure his freedom, upon the ground that once having been taken to free soil he became free and could not again be enslaved by being taken to slave soil.
 The Supreme Court held that Scott was property. That an owners title to property was good in any state and on any soil. Thus the peculiar in
 
 judges of the supreme court upon the free states, for it followed that if a man could bring his slaves to a free state, and those slaves remained his property, there could be no more free soil.
 Thus the supreme court, increasing prerogative feebly established by John Marshall, made a law that Con- eress had not the power to keep free the soil which it had made free.
 The effect of entrusting to judi ciaT oligarchy the power to make and annul laws precipitated a great civil war; the greatest in the history of che world.
 Almost half a century has elapsed. The Supreme Court has set aside the peoples laws at will. and finally has aullifed the Sherman act, a circum-

That will be a solemn moment for him-when Roosevelt faces the assembled constitutional convention of the majestic state of Ohio, the delegates to which are pledged to in stall the mandatory initiative and referendum in the instrument which they will draft. This will be the same Roosevelt who solemnly warned the sovereign people of Oklahoma that awful things would happen if they should embody in their organic law the power of the people to veto laws made by their legislatures not pleas laws, without the intervention of their legislatures, desired by them.
 Now goes he in the sackc1oth of repentance, and the ashes of a re- morse springing from fear of popular wrath, to recant his grievous heresfes.
 Truly the will of a people is strong CT than the views of statesmen, poli- ticians, and all of those who have never become wise enough to know that, public opinion is the strongest force in the world, that it's decrees, though slowly written, are irresisti- bIe.-
 LeAIready has Roosevelt given halt ing adherence to those doctrines of pure democracy which he before ah- horred. Even to the recall of judges he has assented in the mixed laAgu- age of approval and evasion which is his habituaI method of expressing himself upon all public problems which cannot5be disposed of by the utterance of platitudes and universal, ly accepted truths.
 Possibly Roosevelt goes to the Ohio convention In obedience to Hhe pro- clamation of Senator LaFollette, that there shall be no progressive support for the ex-president unless he shall recall in set terms his former opposi- ton to democracy, and declare in di- rect and unmistakable language his support of those truths for which La- Toilette 1abored while Roosevelt de- ni&a them.
