"A States senate will take the con-
troll of that body from the Repub-
licans. This winter thirty-o one senator's
are to be elected. Seventeen of those
whose terms expire are Republicans
and fourteen are Democrats. OF the
Democrats thirteen are from south

Maine. And there is an excellent
chance Of the Pine Tree state return
ing Mr.. Gardner. .. S.
New Jersey, Colorado, Nebraska
Delaware, Montana, Massachusetts,
Illinois and South Dakota, each now
represented by Republican, will elect
senator's this winter. In the first five
there are excellent chances Of Demo-
Gratis being, elected, and there is a

three. There is also a chance of Colo

IT'S OWN PECULIAR WAY.

business, that business without
~ which the country cannot be
prosperous and which therefore must
not be disturbed, doesn't always live
up to it's professions of serving the
real interest Of the country. It isn't
quite the great force whose single aim
is doing good that it likes to term
itself. The Great Western Sugar COM
pany, for instance, confesses through
it's president that it is refusing sugar
beets, that no more factories will be
built until the suit to dissolve the
trust is over and it is allowed to go
on its way absolutely ruling the user
of sugar at one end and the producer
at the other.
It is just one of the cases nowadays
in which the middleman:, whose real
function is to bring the ends together,
gets to be the whole show. If he can
control prices paid to growers and
keep the other fellow from breaking
into the pleasant garden. where it
f1ourishes behind the tariff wall, why
we'll and good; it is the humble
servant of the public. Otherwise the
men who have been induced to grow
beets may be ruined while their beets
rot for all the trust cares.
What is the cause of this? It is
nothing but the same old blindness
that mistakes the chance for making
money for the right to Cypress, and
no doubt really believes itself injured
when that chance is curbed. But it's
kind of blindness that must be
cured.

SOMETHING JUST AS GOOD.

There has been persistent agitation for parcels
post and Congress has been considering it these
many years. Large promises were made and the
demands cheerfully considered-and not acted
upon
Now Congress promises something quite as good
as the parcels post, or, in it's opinion evidently
great deal better. While it was considering this
demand it was also casually looking into the matter
OF freight rates 1t sees way to be rid of the
parcels post question and at the same time not
bother the express companies too much. It has made
inquiries and finds that rates are extortionately
high. Everybody knew that, but Congress has Just
found it out. So it has made certain recommends
tons that may or may not be followed, probably
not. 1t desires that rates be greatly reduced, es
peclally on small parcels reduced so much in fact
that the demand for parcels post will be dropped
When the express companies get around to the
matter they will deliberate over it. Then they will
point out to Congress that they would go into bank
ruptcy 1t the rates were allowed. Nobody cares
particularly whether they would or not But Con-
gress must consider the claim. After few wears
OF further cogitation it will probably present re-
vised schedule. This likewise will have to be con-
sldered by the express companies, compromises and
rev1slons made and some time spent in debate. In
the meanwhile the old rates will continue, and those
who nave been clamoring for the parcels post will
be sllenced in the hope that Congress at last will
40 something with the express companies
In Congress itself all the big companies are we'll
represented so there is chance of any 'twrone'
being done them any right being done the people
OF this country. That is not the thing CONGRESS-
is for at present organized

FOR ALASKA COAL.

0NE of the planks of the Demo-
~ cratic national platform declares
that the great coal fields of Alaska
should be opened and the deposits
worked for the benefit of the people.
This, of course, under such laws and
regulations as would give the people
the fields by monopolists.
The vast deposits of coal in Alaska
have been tied up for years through
the so-called conservation policy of
the Republicans-which has meant
the denial to the people of the bene-
fits Of those deposits. And there have
been hints that that policy, as ap-
piled to Alaska, had the hearty sup
port of owners of mines in the east
ern part of this country, who have
been shipping their coal to the Pa
cif1c and. to consumers in the west.
They did not regard with favor the
coming into the market of COM
petitor of the strength Of Alaska coal.
If that Alaska coal is mined and
shipped to the Pacific ports it will
give the people Of that section much
needed fuel at prices away below
what they. now have to pay for the
eastern stuff. It win also come east
into and may lie across the mountains.
That means it will take the market
from the eastern miners for western
coal cuts little figure in the total. 1t
means that the people there will have
more arc cheaper coal. And it would
mean, under ordinary commercial and
natural laws, a benefit to the people
Of the whole country, for the greater
the available supply the lower should
be the price. But even if the coal
combinations succeeded in keeping up
the price through this section in spite
Of the enlarged supply in the coun-
try Il: large, the Pacific coast and the
west would be benefited immensely.
This is some thing.

BOOSTS AND SLAMS
ON CURRENT EVENTS
GIGANTIC sWINDLING,

~ OTWITHSTANDING all the ef-
~ forts Of the government to stop
the misuse Of the mails; notwithstand-
ing 81 the educating of the people as
regards get-rich-quick swindles, last
year-the postmaster general esti-
mates-the people Of this country
were duped to the extent of $12O,00O,-
600 by swindles using the mails.
But this is. not the most striking
fact In the postmaster generals state
ment. For Notwithstanding all the eff
fort made by the department and the
press Of the country to save the people
to educate them, to protect them, this
amount is an increase of $50, 900,
he says, over the swindles Of the year
previous. Think of that!
There is an old saying that there is
"a sucker born every minute" And
T. T. Barnum used to say that 1.-The
American people like to be hum
bugged." According to this estimate
of the postmaster general, especially
as to that increase, both of those old
truisms und ershoot the truth.
How to stop this drain on credulity
and save the people from this loss is
question. Warnings have; served to
stop it only so far as the individual
or concern warned against has been
concerned. The next swindler to come
along met the same old success. And
for every man, woman or child, who
learned the lesson several more seem
ready to take the full course in the
school of experience.
While the get-rich-quick fever burns
go desperately the alluring big returns
proposition will attract. It's human
nature. And all the propositions don't
come through the mails, either.
Saving the people from the trusts,
monopolies and special privilege grab
bers is childs play against saving
them from themselves!

SPEEDING UP THE WORKMAN.

The man who has never worked for total strang-
ers for wages cannot understand what working for
wages means. Many men who have so worked soon
forget that they begin to work for themselves and
employ others to work for them Modern industry
IS more and more making of the days work a
tragedy. It is bringing about condition where,
OF because Of the way he is driven, the worker
approaches his place Of employment with detected
spirits and sorrowful mind, because he knows that
he is expected to spend every bit of energy that
is in him while at his task. This sort of thing
makes life scarcely worth living The new system
of scientific management aims to increase the in
tensity Of this condition and thereby deny to the
toiler reasonable conditions of employment Of
course these schemes are inaugurated in the name
of economy. But human life is worth more than
economy and the trade unions are justified in fight
ing these systems to the last ditch. Human beings
are not machines and cannot be treated as such
even for the profit Of employers.
Workmen are now being speeded greater than
ever before in the history of the world and yet we
have government officials trying to have the Taylor
system and other systems adopted by which to in
crease the speed Of the workman

for the advance But the wool trust the American
Wooden company-does not stoop to such explana-

it has control have made necessary the advance.
To be more explicit, it is said that the domestic
wool clip is 100000 pounds lighter than it was
last year The price Of wool has gone up abroad,
and, finally, 'the high scale Of wages and shorter
working hours have their effect
