BUT ONE MEANING.

Some people can make words mean
anything. but there are some words
that can only have one meaning. For
instance. Commissioner Smith whom
Roosevelt, then president, delegated to
look into the harvester trust, wrote:
1T is a very practical question
whether Il is well to throw away the
great influence Of the so-called Nor
gan interests. which up to this time
have supported the advanced policies
Of the administration. both on the gen
eral principles and in the application
thereof to their specific interests. and
TO place them in entire opposition"
President Roosevelt was at Oyster
Bay when he received this and immed-
lately wrote TO his attorney general
urging him not TO file the harvester
suit.
There can be but one meaning TO
the Smith letter and the Roosevelt
command 70 his attorney general.
The only reason is that the influence
Of the Morgan interests loomed up
potently and won.

THE COST OF WAR.

The fear of war is consuming the
homes of the rural and village popu-
lations of Germany, France, Great
Britain, and the United States in
single generation, according to a bull
letin on the school observance of
Peace day, which is soon to be issued
for free distribution by the United
States Bureau OF Education.
In discussing the cost of war, the
bulletin says in part:
War debt began with the 18th
century. Not until the establishment
of constitutional government had ma
lions any credit in the world of fl
nance. The bond of a king was
VIGOROUSLY bad security. Since 1900
the war debts of the nations have
grown by leaps and bounds. That of
Europe as a whole amounts to more
than S26, 100000, bearing inter-
est at the rate of S1,l5O, 100000 per
year. All these endless caravans of
ciphers' represent sums which have
never been paid, will never be paid,
can never be paid, so long as the pres
ent system Of national armament
goes on. For practically the entire
amounts now raised by taxation in
civilized nations go into the support
/ of armies and navies. The United
| States, in splendid isolation from old
entanglements, without an enemy in
the world, and bound by ties of blood
and commerce 10 all civilized nations.
/ spends 70 per cent of her income in
/ this way. The civil, or non-military,
| expenditures OF Europe are so small as
to be negligible.
AT the present rate of expenditure
/ the four countries of Germany.
/ France, Great Britain and the United
/ States will spend in the next 40 years,
the life of one generation, for the sup
/ port Of armies and navies an amount
/ sufficient to build 10000, 600 country
and village houses at an average cost
OF $500 each. With father, mother
and four children in each of these
houses they would furnish homes for
l2O.000,O00 OF people, which is more
than the total present population of
these four countries living in villages
and the open country. Thus the fear
OF war is consuming the homes of the
rural and village population of these
great nations in a single generation.
1T is estimated that the total d.
rect cost Of the armies and navies of
the world each year in time of peace
is 81 500. 900. 900. which equals the total
valuation of the wheat and corn crops
OF the whole OF the United States"

UNIQUE ELECTRIC SIGN

lamps and show an interurban car
with wheels turning as the track pass
es under them, giving the effect of a
moving car. The signal outline used is
typical of the block signals installed
on the Illinois Traction system, and
the semaphore arm is flashed in the
proceed and stop position. When the
blade is in the proceed position the
car appears to move at a high speed,
and when the blade takes the stop po-
sition, the wheels of the car cease to
reVolve and the track remains appar,
entity stationary, thus giving the eff,
feet of car stopping at the signal.
The sign attracts considerable atten-
ton on account of its size and conspic
uous position. 1t was designed and
erected under the general supervision
OF H. E. Chubbuck, vice president ex.
ecutive Illinois Traction system.

HANDY MAN PERKINS.

George w. Perkins admits he sub
scribed $4,000 to aid Roosevelt in
carrying the primaries in New York
city. He also says he loaned a SINH
lar amount TO the Taft committee in
1908. In 1904 he prevailed upon the
Mutual Life Insurance company 10
subscribe $4,000 10 aid in electing
Roosevelt. he at that time, control
ing that company.
Mr.. Perkins has been a very handy
man for politicians and presidential
candidates.
Where does he come in? What
does he get out of IL?
Mr.. Perkins never works for his
health alone. He is the king pin OF
the interests. He gets back all he
gives hundred fold. How? BY die
tating LEGISLATION and by stopping
harvester suits and other suits
against big business.

public never heard of it. 1t died by
the chlorforming process, in the office
of the attorney general of the United
States, with the acquiescence of Mr..
Roosevelt. Every indication, indeed,
is that Mr. Roosevelt personally de-
creed the death of this report. 1t was
his direct order to his attorney general
not TO start suit against the harvester
trust. which resulted in the Townsend
report being suppressed, and the har-
vester trust given immunity from pros
ecutiOn. While Roosevelt was protect

ton by the federal government, that
organization was being tried, and was
found guilty in Missouri, Oklahoma
and other states whose legal machin-

HAsTY ACTION ALWAYS UNwIsE.

There is always danger in hasty leg
islation. Too often, too, controversies
are dragged into court that might
upon elaboration have been adjusted
out of court. There is now pending
before the membership of the great
est fraternal order in the world a
serious contention growing out of the
increase in rates adopted by the last
head camp meeting Of the Modern
Woodmen designed TO place the insur-
ance carried by the order for the bene-
fit of its members on a secure and per
manent basis.
In the Illinois legislature a bill
known as the Donahue bill, has been
passed in the house, the aim of which
is to prevent the enforcement of the
new rates without referendum vote
OF the order. The bill, should it pass
the senate and become a law by vir.
tue of the governors signature
would become operative July 1. The
new rates went into effect today
hence should the Donahue law be-
come effective it would be a re
troactive measure involving a form
Of litigation so serious in it's char
acter as to possibly wreck the order
Its constitutionality would have to b.
tested and in the meantime the ordel
would be helpless to proceed with IT.
business unless it changed its charter
and incorporated itself IN another
state, which would mean the remOva
| of the head Offices from Illinois.
This is one OF the serious phases o
the situation. The head camp which
adopted the new rate scale might rea
sonably be expected to adopt drasti,
measures to enforce II, and the heal
camp could pursue any proceeding raa
it might see fit in the premises unde
/ its right and prerogatives.
There is no doubt in the minds o
| the members that the rates should b
| increased to insure the perpetuity o
bers for all time. The only basis o
contention is in whether or not tn
present advancement is excessive
That is subject that only experienC
ed actuaries are capable of diseussin

not promise the remedy. 1t prom
Uses only endless litigation of ever

Electric Railway Journa)
The Illinois Traction system has in

station a large electric sign. The
sign is % feet 6 inches wide and 81
feet high and consists of 1862 swat
tungsten lamps mounted on a struc-
tural steel frame. The sign is ele-
waited about feet above the termin-
al station roof at the corner of

the top of the sign is about 100 feet

SOME INTERESTING EXTRACTS.
Here are some interesting extracts
from Mr.. Townsend's report:
The harvester trusts business has
been increased until today it controls
about 80 per cent of the total busi-
ness, and thus a single institution has
acquired a substantial monopoly.
George w. Perkins conducted the ne
gotiations and devised and executed
the plan finally agreed upon. The
Rockefellers and McCormicks own a
majority of the capital stock.
The most effective weapons en-
ployed by the harvester trust are Of
the invisible kind. 1t is directly al
lied with that group of Standard Oil
financial and commercial aggregations
commonly called the steel trust, the
coal trust, the railroad trust, the bank
ing trust, etc. Rebates, prices of raw
material, extension or refusal of bank
ing credit, can all be manipulated with
a discriminating favor which is muir
derous TO the competitors of the In
/ ternational Harvester company"
AND ROOSEVELT KNEW TT.
This, then, is the kind Of information
/ that President Roosevelt had on the
harvester trust when he instructed his
attorney general not to start suit
against the trust without letting him
know, with the consequence that the
suit never was started.
! Considering these facts, is it any
wonder that George w. Perkins, or
/ ganizer OF the illegal harvester trust
and director of the illegal steel trust
who might today be in the peniten
tiary if Mr.. Roosevelt had not
given him immunity from prosecution

in the hope of again placing Roosevelt

Shattered Ideals.

How our ideals flatten out
As up the years we climb!
They do not look to US the same
AS once upon a time.
At twenty We would change the world
And elevate its tone:
We're glad to let 1t run itself
When we have older grown.
In youth the blood is surging high;
In youth the fires are bright.
Its business is TO tackle wrong
And bravely set it right.
But when the forty mark is hit,
Though hope is hardly dead.
It seems a more important work
To buy the family bread.
Youth, seeing error STEPPED in pride,
Sends up the loud alarm
And for a battle unto death
Would bare its strong right arm.
But middle age is tanned a bit,
Not quite SO keen for flaws,
And wants to save Its good right arm
To aid its private cause.
Thus do ideals fade away
And new ones take their place,
Ones that will favor selfish ends
And save the holders face,
For in the stress of getting on
The ones high colored go
And leave more sordid ones instead.
TITS sad, but 1t is so.
