KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

The youngest United States senator
is a good man to keep a weather eye
on. He is Luke Lea and he halls
from Tennessee.
Luke Lea came to the senate I'M
heralded. He was not known outside
the borders Of his state.
An unwritten rule Of the senate re-
quires that new senators shall go way
back and sit down. They may hear
but shall not be heard.
Young Lea set this rule at defiance
iustanter Instead of sitting back he
bounded to the front whenever he so
pleased. After a while the old SEN
ators began to listen TO him and pay
attention to him. He had reached the
people and they liked the youngster
who did things
Luke Lea came to the fore in the
Lorimer case. He was a member of
the probing committee and took a
prominent part in bringing out evi-
drnce against Lorimer.
The committee was packed and
made a report in favor of LOrimer.
Lea, not only refused to sign the find
ings but made a minority report.
He has fought the interests forward
and back and back and forward.
Just now he is in Baltimore and
there, as in Washington, he is fighting
Big Business.
May Luke LEAFS shadow never grow
less while special privileges need a
pluCky foe

FECTLY.
I'VE have passed % years without
an angry word or a moments mis-
understanding" said Andrew Carnegie
concerning himself and his wife on
their twenty-ffth wedding anniversary
It is barely possible that Andy told
the truth SO far as he remembered.
Also a mans sense of gallantry would
incline to stretch the truth upon such
an occasion. And most old couples
will say that very thing, in spite Of
everybody's knowledge to the con-
trary.
There are husbands and wives, IN
doUbtedly, who live together in almost
perfect accord, growing more and
more into oneness as the years null
tiply. The more reasonable. self
controlled and kind-hearted each one
is the better are the chances of marital
felicity. But that any two people, of
the same sex or of opposite sexes, can
live in close relationship together for
any length of time without any mis-.
understanding at all-well, Il hae me
doo'ts"
Here and there, possibly, two super
latively perfect human beings may
unite and exist without discord OF
any kind. But such instances are SO
rare that We are frankly skepticaI
when We hear of them. Most of US

CAPITAL COMMENT

in the more genteel Boston. 1t was
shown that the millionaires who draw
down dividends Of from 3 to 100 per
cent annually. knew nothing of the
manner in which those fat dividends
were made. They simply had employed
managers to get profits, anu while
these managers got the protlts, by
working men, women and children for
wages of s., Sc and 81 a week, the
owners lived in far away Boston or
New York and clipped their dividend
coupons.
AWAY FROM PROPERTY.
Under the protective system that
has made monopoly possible in this
country there are scores of thousands
who live upon the income of bonds and
stocks, and who never come in CON
tact in any way with the property
which yields them such rich returns.
They have no knowledge of the toll
from which their profits are wrung.
The cruelties of the mills and factories,
the injustices and suffering of the
workers are far away TO them. They
employ managers, and judge the abil-
ity Of these managers solely by their
genius for piling up dividends. The
managers of the corporations sustain
exactly the same relation to the own
ers of the corporation that a slave
( driver did to the plantation.
DESTROYS SYMPATHY.
This system has worked for the de.
struction Of all human sympathy. SO
that the rich mill owner in Boston or
New York is impatient and indiffer
ent when told that in the factory he
owns in a distant mill town little child
rem work for starvation wages. He
never sees the misery of these child
rem. or that Of their equally miserable
parents, and for that reason he does
not understand il or care about it.
Absentee ownership is one of the at
tendant curses of the tariff protected
mOnopOlistic system. 1t will be broker
down when the tariff is broken down
and not until then.

their land.
After the mill strike was declared at
Lawrence, Mass. last winter the mill
owners angrily protested against the
interference of what they referred to
as outside labor agitators." These
mill owners contended that had it not
been for the alleged intrusion of labor
leaders from outside cities there would
have been no strike at the mills. The
wooden trust magnates harped on this
theme continually.
NONE LIVES THERE.
When the democratic investigating
committee called Representatives of
the workers and of the owners to
Washington to testify it was learned
that not a single owner Of the wooden
mills, against which the strike was
declared. had his home in Lawrence.
To q man these wealthy owners lived
