| different. Transportation by rail
from state to state Is a public utility.
1t produces nothing. 1t Is simply a
service rendered, and its charges can
be very properly and very auspicious-
| ly regulated by a governmental
agessy. But the production OF steel,
or other articles of merchandise, is a
private industry. conducted by indi-
viduals or corporations, and when the
government assumes to regulate, by
commission, the profits 1t shall earn,
or the wages it shall pay we have

tablishing of prices by government Of
every article exposed to sale in every
mart. 1t is monstrosity impossible

it would require tens of thousands
of additional public officials to ad-
minister the thing.
We had an example OF the work
ings of one of Mr.. Roosevelt's" com
missions in the administration of the
pure food law. Mr.. Roosevelt says
he extorted that statute from a re
luctant congress. Grant that he did
though DR.. Wiley, who knows more
about the subject that anybody else
will tell you that there is no founda-
ton in actual fact for the boast. What
happened? Roosevelt was persuaded
to appoint the Remsen Board, or
commission, and that body, though
without design or fault on its part,
was used to nullify the pure food law.
Taft came in and we had the baleful
influence of McCabe and Dunlap, who
succeeded i'm so embarrassing Doctor
Wiley that he resigned in disgust and
so far as the foods and drinks of the
public are concerned the matter
stands precisely where it did before
the pure food law was enacted.
Drugs, harmless in themselves, are
employed to conceal putrefaction and
other harmful elements in foods that
are thus sold to the people as sound
and pure, and they have the brand OF
the pure food law on them. There
may lie some excellent canned goods
on tn emarket, but if so they have to
comnete with impure foods that can

analysis.
There is a sample of government
by commission as practiced by
Roosevelt and Taft. There Is not a
doubt that the steel trust and the
other predatory and piratical interests
would be glad to be licensed by the
government and regulated hy a
commission like that which took all
that was desirable out of the pure
food law.
We tried Roosevelt ninety months,
we have tried Taft forty-three months,

Both aggravated and augmented the
abuses that both agree existed and
still exist Are you going to appoint

The leading trust magnates are for

Steel Trust, and its offspring, the
Harvester Trust Mr.. Stanley. OF
Kentucky, who perhaps knows as
much about the subject as any man
now living has introduced a bill in
congress depriving the trusts of one
of the most vicious privileges which
they enjoy. He would divorce the in
dustrial trust from the transportation
business, In his opinion that would
do more to reform the abuse of cor
porate monopoly than anything else.

But Taft says the trusts are enti-
tied to ave tariff taxes so laid as
to give them a monopoly of the do
nestle market for that is what pro-
lection is and all it it, which means
tat the trusts shall continue to enjoy
the special privileges by means of
which they We're created and without
which they could not exist. Ii was to
secure them the protection of the
tariff that moved the trusts to CON
tribute the enormous sums they did
to elect Roosevelt president in 1904
and Taft president in 1908.
Roosevelt says that there shall be
no more competition in the business
world, that the trusts are grown too
great to be challenged by others who
seek to engage in business of the
same lines, and his plan is to legal
ize them and appoint a commission
to regulate them and see that they
behave. Andy Carnegie says he can
build a mill at comparatively insight
icant cost that will make steel tub
ing cheaper by $40 a ton than the
Steel Trust is making similar wares.
But the trust, secure in its monopoly,
sticks to its antiquated plans, and
with perfect impunity it levies this
enormous tax of $40 ton upon the
public, though it reaps no reward
from it. That is waste Under
Roosevelt that abuse was inaugurat-
ed, under Taft it continues.
Under Wilson that trust, shorn OF
its special privilege, will be forced
to compete with rivals and then the
people will buy steel tubes and pip
ing at least $40 ton less than they
now have to pay.

Across the top is a placard bearing
Mr.. Tavenner's picture, and the cap

Mr.. Tavenner intends TO use the
boards to get statements of his posi-

make it plain that his opponent is try
ing TO straddle the issue. No per-
sonalities will be INDUCED in, it be-
ing the democratic candidates inten-
ton TO make only plain, straightfor-
ward statements of facts.
Already some of the boards have
been placed in Rock Island, and they
have caused much favorable comment.
Captain Henderson kindly permitted
Mr.. Tavenner to place them on the
ferry houses and boats, and hundreds

there last night and today. There

There is no doubt that Champ Clark

of any of the speakers now before
the public in the democratic cause.
There is no man in public life in
America today who is dearer to the
people than the speaker OF the house.
His magnetic personality and his
good humor have long been recognized
as strong points, while in later years
his far sighted craftsmanship has
been apparent to the most casual stu
dent of public affairs. Add to these
the courage and fortituGe with which
he accepted the loss of the race for
the presidential nomination after ii
had been almost won, and it is appar-
ent why he is regarded as a big man
and the people are ready to travel far
to hear and see him. Rock Island is
fortunate in having him here as q
campaign speaker next Monday even
ing.
Colonel James Hamilton Lewis, who
will speak in the afternoon, is like
wise a national celebrity, while ]. P.
,, Lucey Is finished orator. The after
noon program at the Illinois will be
hardly less interesting than that of
the evening. A big turnout OF the
ladies is anticipated both afternoon
and evening. Bleuer's band will help
entertain the crowd.

II follows, then, that both Jones and
Smith should attach themselves to the
same congressman, and similarly, the
same candidate for congress. For one
other, simply divides their strength,
and 1t is this division of the strength
CT the workingmen of the nation that
gives the balance of power to the
vested interests. Jones and Smith
should stick together. Right or wrong,
they should vote as unit.
A majority Of the Rock Island ar
senal workmen, who are representa-
tive of all the workmen in the dis
trict, are going 10 vote for Tavenner.
That isn't braEgart boast. 1t is bas-
ed on a careful canvas. Mr.. Tavenner,
when he was in Washington. per-
formed a distinct service for the ar
senal workmen. and they know he is
their friend-not merely their friend,
but their active, hustling, energetic
friend. Therefore, a majority of these
workmen already have promised TO
vote for him.
Since a majority of these workmen
are going TO vote for Tavenner, why
no. make it unanimous? Workingmen
ought all TO vote for the same.
If Tavenner gets the majority Of the
workingmen's votes, the votes of those
who voted against him will have been
wasted, and the wasted votes of work
iUgmen is the foundation on which
special privilege builds its palaces.
Make inquiries. Verify for yourself
the truth of our claim the majority
OF the workingmen are going to vote
for Tavenner, and then ask yourself
if It isn't wise for all workingmen to
vote for the same man.
