THE DULL WORLD.

The kaiser has the rheumatics.
Old Battleaxe Castleman is now
tinkering with broken autos instead
of destructive ordinances. Bill
Bryan has followed the suit of the
clam but may reopen with the oyster
season next week. The ominous
silence on the part of Brother A. f.
Knots portends either new and
holy Armageddon bull or else an
other announcement about the Por-
ter racetrack delay. T. r. continues
to sip up buttermilk In vast quanti-
ties. Mount Vesuvius has subsidized:
and so has Brother O'Connell of the
Indiana Harbor cement-laden climes
whose mellow voice is no longer
heard in the Baseball protests. Senior
Madero summers at Chapultepec and
frets on hot lid. Grand Young
Man Beveridge no longer shouts
about the doing away with SOUP
houses and having laborers getting
over $500 year. Steel orders are
so fat that old Elb Gary just simply
had to go over to the side of the
pond to count his bankroll. Big Tim
Englehart no more perforates the
atmosphere and even the President
of the United States is contented
with golf games. Everything is
quiet; and we don't give n tinker's
dam how the election goes. And II
won't go the wrong way.

ROOSEVELT ON DURBrN.

Under date of August 5, 1908,
President Roosevelt wrote to Cover
nor Winfield T. Durbin of Indiana a
letter elicted by the course of Gov
ernor Durbin in connection with the
Evansville race riot and the effort of
the authorities at Evansville to Sc
cure the consent of the governor for
the trial of the man mob tried to
lynch under the protection of the
state militia, a suggestion the COVER
nor promptly vetoed What Presi-
dent Roosevelt said of Governor Dur
bin is of special interest at this time.
Colonel Roosevelt said, in the open
ing paragraphs of a long letter of
commentator:
Permit me to thank you as an
American citizen for the admirable
way in which you have INDICATED
the majesty of the law by your re-
cent action in reference to lynching.
] feel, my dear sir that you have
made all men your debtors who be-
lieve .as all far-seeing men must, that
the well-being. indeed the very exist
ence, of the republic depends upon
that spirit of orderly liberty under
the law which is as incompatible
with mob violence as with any form
of depotism. OF course mob violence
is simply one form of anarchy, and
anarchy Is now. as it always has

p e Q l. E
. nREEpER OF DTsCoNrENT.


To the Editor of THE TIMEs-what is
the matter with the United States
anyhow? There are loud and We
hement wailing about evils and
wrongs and slavery.
Ask the farmer. He will answer
that the crops this year are worth
nine billions of dollars. That is at
least six hundred millions more than
the farm yield in any other year and
in any other land.
Ask the steel and iron makers They
will answer that more tons of coal,
coke and ore are being converted into
finished steel than in any previous
year in this or any other country.
Ask the railroad president. He will
answer that traffic is almost at the
record breaking point for all time.
Ask the merchant. He will answer
that sales exceed all known turnovers
in business.
Ask the car and locomotive builders.
They will answer that they are en-
ploying nearly three times the number
of laborers that were getting wages a
year ago.
Ask the shipbuiIders. They will an
swer by pointing out upon the ways a
ship for every berth, some of them for
foreign owners.
Ask the laborer himself He must
answer that his average wage Is now
greater than ever before and that his
average hours of work are shoter.
Ask the banker. He will point to
check clearances that mount higher
week by week, barometer for the
swelling tide in all business.
Ask any one or every one except the
Big Bull Moose and his political wor-
shippers and the answer must newt
ably be: The country is bigger, richer,
happier. healthier than 1t ever has been
or than any other people has been.
So what's wrong with the United
States? Are the Inhabitants of this
favored land a lot of impoverished
| slaves, or are they merely being hum
plugged by the High Priest of Discon-
tent? H. L. C.

Golgaths with the prelates driving
in the nails. 1t was so with Luther,
John Huss, Roger Williams and
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
A Cromwell can never be born a
king; nor does a real estate man
make a good Columbus. Slaves have
seldom freed themselves. They have
not the mental capacity, for they
are accustomed to servitude, and it
takes an outsider to grasp the situa-
ton.
Physicians seem to present an ex-
ception to the rule that sciences do
not develop rapidly from the inside,
and yet, let theory of healing be
radically different from the usual,
such as Osteopathy, Christian
Science or Chiropractic, and its
most bitter foes are the M. DIS.
This is as 1t should be. The pro-
fessors of any art or science are its
natural defenders. The colleges do
not bestride the world like
Colossus. forcing new advantages
and improvements upon political or
ganizations or business corporations.
This is not their business. They
are the custodians of the learning
of the past, not agitators for improv
ed conditions.
In nothing is this principle more
true than in the practice of the law.
The lawyer is not an incendiary or
a revolutionist- He Is preserver of
the customs that have been declared,
the statutes that have been fixed.
No group of lawyers gather together
to anticipate the needs of the future.
An interstate commerce law must
struggle in the brains of business
men for dozens of years before it can
do SO as much as gain a hear. and
beat its wings furiously against the
bars of justive. A vice must exist
lalready before law Is formed for
its correction. An evil must be-
come deep-rooted before the law
takes notice of it land then and al
ways, the pioneer work OF change
and reform must come from outside
and not inside; for the professor al
any art or science Is the natural de-
fender of things as they are.
Radical changes are wrought al
ways by reformers, protesters, fan.
latics, who see clearly from the out.
lside what the custom-chained spec.
ialist cannot discern. If the re
former is thousand years ahead O
his time. he is imprisoned, burned OF
cruciffed. If hundred. he is ridi
culed or ignored. And when tn,
fullness Of his time comes he Il
fought bitterly and without quarte
by the specialist who objects to tn,
recall
But reform comes, nevertheless
and when the ignorant outsider ha
accomplished his purpose, Their
springs instantly to his side TIL
great army of specialists, professor
of his faith, to protect 1t, as the
. protected what preceded 1t, from tn
. sacrilege Of change. And all this |
for the best; for without this arm
of defenders of the established. I
fight off the reformer until hs ha
made good, the world would sill
back from what of truth had alread
been attained.

REFORMS COME FROM OUTSIDE

Essential and vital reforms in any
science or art seldom come through
its professors.
Jesus Christ was not and could
not have been a vested churchman
The Scribes and Pharisees were the
last people on earth to whom the
doctrines of the Nazarene carpen-
ter's son could have appealed.
Scribes and Pharisees are always
the high priests of things as they
are. Reform must come through

Turkey Trot" and similar familiar
dances. and the superintendent declsr-
ed that public. halls which refuse to
obey his orders must be closed i'm
