THE RICH MUST WORK.

FRANKLIN MAC vEAGH, Presi-
u dent Taft's secretary of the
treasury, who belongs to one Of the
old and wealthy families of this
country, says:
1.-THE unearned increment of pri-
vate wealth is the earning of society.
1t is clear that many fortunes are in
excess Of any rational reward of in
dividual service. Habitual idleness
in the rich Is no more justifiable
than habitual idleness in tramp.
The only leisure valuable to society
is that which affords a man or a
woman opportunity to choose, freely
his or her life Of usefulness
When men like Mr.. MacVeagh talk
like this it is time for men Of wealth
to stop, look and think hard. In the
face of such sentiment, how insig-
nificant becomes an experiment like
the Wisconsin income tax! Perhaps
such measures, as some of the rich
men 1T Wisconsin are organizing to
strangle it, really might promote So
cial justice. If they do the wisdom of
prtserving it cannot be doubted by
anybody, who has intelligence enough
to see the meaning of what is going
on about him! - =.

ROOSEVELT'S BASELESS HOPE.

TALKING in. The New York Sun
l. Roosevelt has expressed the hope
that some regularly elected Demo-
cratic electors will cast their votes
for him. Baseless, useless, impos-
sible, preposterous hope!
Colonel Roosevelt must be poorer
politician, less of a man, more of a
stranger to faith and truth, a greater
misjudge of character and much more
of an egotist than even his enemies
have thought If he is serious about
that proposition. Democratic elect
oral votes this fall will be cast, as
they have always been cast, for no
one but the Democratic candidate,
and that regardless of whether they
prove to be ten to 100 per cent of
the. electoral college.
And yet the very fact that such a
statement is issued by him and is
printed in a reputable paper is
enough to set people thinking. The
idea of the square dealer,' the
great moral force,' the battler at
Armageddon the man who so Justify
cried fraud and thief" when his
contesting delegations were not
seated, even suggesting such a piece
of party treachery and political per-
fidy! It is not shocking; it is lift
ing of the curtain, a glimpse of the
real political character Of the man.

LOWER EXPRESS RATES.

The interstate commerce commission has pro-
posed to regulate the express companies It assures
them that its intentions are benefcent.
There can be question that, regulation of the
express companies should prove beneficial to them
II 1t should operate regulation of public utilities
and common carrier has operated: ~"
1t rates shall be reduced sufficiently to encour-
age traffic, which is Forbidden the express bus
mess could be made Tar more profitable than it now
Is within it's restricted field. With lowered rates
would come lessening perhaps of the demand for
parcels post, which is the thing that the ex-
press monopoly fears. But what express companies
would gain in abolishing the demand for parcels
post they would lose in lessening the opposition to
1t. "A reduction in express rates and an improve
ment In express service, such the interstate CON-
merce commission proposes, would tend to encour-
age traffic between the rural districts and the large
commercial centers.
The country merchants oppose parcels post on
the ground that to improve transportation facilities
and lower transportation charges on small pack
ages Will serve to bring the in the country
ana the merchant IN the city together to the emna2
ton OF their profits What will they do if express
rates are lowered?
Inc express monopoly, without regard to what
the interstate commerce commission may do can not
be regulated into good monopoly It is, first Of
ALL an excresence on the railways. What they charge
1ne express companies for carrying express is the
charge that should be exacted from the public The
express companies entitled to NO profit Even
under private exploitation Of transportation there
can be no justification for the railways surrendering
their functions to the express companies. The ex-
press company is merely device for compelling the
consumer to pay double profits for the same service
Inc parcels post can not be "headed off, - Yet
to be ettectlye it should be accompanied by public
ownership Of the railways, as under the existing
system the postal service is exploited by the railways
and the cost of the service made excessive to pro-
VIDE profits for Mr. Morgan and his associates in
GUIDING the widows and the orphans and the newt
able innocent investor 80:

AN OuTWORN IDEA.

G ENATOR TILLMAN has proposed,
~ and the United States has
adopted, an idea as to naval suprem-
acy, that If turned into law will cost
this and every other nation untold
millions of dollars. For, that resolu-
ton fails to take into consideration a
very active human characteristic, that
of competition. -.
Senator Tillman would monopolize
the naval power Of the world. Look
Ing sadly at the tremendous expense
naval competition is bringing to the
nations, he would make all other
navies useless by building single
warship o.5vast and so powerful that,
he hopes. all idea of beating it in size
and power would be futile. Hence
peace and a cessation zof naval build
ing would result. Blessed thought!
And the senate has passed his
resolution asking that the naval COM
mittee think the matter over. That's
all It ever viii do. -.
. England had just that idea when
with great secrecy .tt-4built that first
observation-disclosures started a new
naval competition that has bent the
financial. backs of the nations and
brought new fleets into being. And
SO soon as this country adopts any
such shortsighted idea and tries to
build one single world conquering
vessel, it will find every other nation
laying down one just a little bigger
and a. little more powerful if every
nation has to bankrupt present and
future and overtax every industry
and every person under it's flag to do
it.
This naval supremacy competition
is the maddest race the world has
ever seen. 1t is getting the nations
nowhere. Relatively they are just
about where they were when they
started. Only the taxes are higher,
the costs are greater, the burden Is
harder for the people to bear.
Trying for A monopoly of "terrors''
will never bring peace and a cessa-
ton Of the struggle. That much de-
sired end can only be brought about
by the educating of the Christian peo-
pies Of the earth in the material as
we'll as ethical waste, uselessness, and
lack OF gain in war;

PLACES THE BLAME.

N EMOCRATIC filibustering tactics
~ in the senate are intended to
bring the Republican members to a
vote on the tariff bills before adjourn
sment. Of course Republican votes
will defeat, the Democratic attempts
to relieve the people from some Of
their burden of taxation and the
high cost of living, but the RESPONSE
bility therefore will be placed just
where it belongs-on the Republicans.
Ia has been the plan Of the Re-
publicans to let those relief tariff bills
die in committee. In that way the
sacred privilege tariff would come
through unscathed and the Repub-
licans be saved the pain of going on
record as voting against the peoples
desires and in favor Of the protected
interests. The Democrats mean to
force the Republicans to 80 on record
and to stand before the people in their
proper light. T.
The chances are that the bills, or
sugar measures-wiil be voted on
and defeated. But passed or de-
feated, or passed and vetoed, the Re-
publicans must face the blame for the
failure of congress to come to the re-
lief of the people and heed their de-
mand for something to aid them In
their fight with monopoly, special in
terests and the high cost of living. The.
Democrats have shown their inten-
tions have: shown. their blockading
power and their willingness to serve
the interests and the protective sys-
tenn as against the needs of the con-
sumers. And the people won't for
get. ~

BOOSTS, AND j SLAMS
ON CURRENT EVENTS
SENATOR WORKS, CHARGE.

G ENAToR WORKS, a Republican
- from California. progressive and
a man who$in several instances has
shown that honesty lis his foundation
stone, has issued statement charg-
ing that neither Taft or Roosevelt
had an honest majority at the Chi
cago convention. He holds that there
was dishonesty in the campaign of
both of them, and that such being the
case Republicans are relieved of any
party obligations to support either
of them.
This is remarkable statement to
come from a Republican whose hope
Of future political honors lies within
his party. It is an indictment Of his
own party, made the stronger by his
naming the Democratic candidates as
among those for whom honest Re-
science and a. sense of national pa
triotism. ;
In this statement the senator shows
how his party has fallen. He shows
how corruption has taken firm hold
on the party that has for so long
ruled the nation, the party that is
asking return tOaOffice with pro-
misses swectened with the honey of
soft words and Favored with forget
fulness of the evils grown great un-
der it's poWer-a spectacle for gods
and men!
The California senator has relieved
his conscience and done his honesty
service by saying what he believes
to be the truth. And it may give
warrant to some Republicans to cut
loose from the ties of a lifetime, now
grown heavy. But many Republicans
did not need that warrant, or his ex-
position of what so many of them
have felt to be the truth. Many feel
the shame into which the party has
fallen, feel that it is time it be
cleansed-and they intend to do the
cleaning-from the outside.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS INCREASING.

For the third time this month, and before the
month was half over the railroads have taken their
toll of human life and limb, with total of some
eighty killed and over hundred injured in three
so-callei accidents within the space of ten days.
The best traditions of these frequently occurring
seventualites were duly observed on all three occa
sions. In each the railroad officials skipped
from under and threw the "blame'' for the occur.
renee on the employees, while in each case ALSO the
:customary number of *'ghouls'' appeared on the
scene, and enlivened the proceedings by plumber
ing the dead and dying in the confusion occasioned
by the wrecks 1t is to be noted that these ghouls'
never by any chance neglect to appear at these func
lions nowadays, and so far as permitted thoroughly

In this case it was no doubt an oversight of some

other cases it the fault Of the engineer or the
ugnalman or somebody Of that kind.
We have no doubt, however, that the railroad
officials can clear themselves fully Of any completely
