ality must also be taken into ac-
count; and the fact that he has
treated all alike" neither disguises
nor palliates the other fact that OF
the corrective penalties provided by
the sherman act he has habitually
chosen that one which neither him
dered continuance of the offense nor
dealt out any real punishment 10 the
offender The conviction OF some of
the personal agents who perverted TO
unlawful purposes the powers OF in
animate corporations would have
done more 10 put stop TO Trust
abuses than all the fines and amerce-
ments that could be assessed or any
number OF tentatiye dissolutions OF
Industrial combinations into their
original component PARTS. II the
criminal provisions o. the sherman
statute had been exercised as are
those OF the banking act. the object
lesson presented. by a few rich and
respectable rascals behind prison
bars would have supplied the needed
deterrent long ago As IL is, the
course followed by the president has
ANNOYED the corporations and disap-
pointed the public. and thus his i'm
partial bur inconsequential method of
dealing with the Trusts has gained
him no credit from either side.
Mr. Roosevelt when president did |
not aspire TO the distinction claimed |
by Mr. Wichersham for President |
TAFT. On the contrary. then as now. /
he classified the Trusts as good and |
bad according as their directing heads
were personally and politically friend |
" to himself or inimical SO he made |
unto himself grateful friends among
the Mammons of unrighteousness and
IS today reaping in his role as a can
iidate the reward of favors afore
ime dispensed to such OF the great
corporations as satisfied the above
definition of good Still he draws
he same distinction, and though
still qualifying as a Tribune OF the
People by public denunciation or
trusts in general. he has the advaat-
lge of his more honest opponent in
laVing at his disposal for campaign
purposes the treasures which are
'losed against Taft on account OF
hat very attitude OF even-handed
ustice of which his attorney general
'oasts. II is an instructive example
# how the wicked flourish through
'old duplicity where the weak but
temporizer falls be-
ween two stools.

EXPRESSING HIS EMOTION

The Boston Globe doesn't take
much stock in a rich mans utter un-
selfshness in large campaign contri
buttons. The paper believes that as
a general proposition there is some
thing else than sentiment or emotion
back Of the large contribution.
In discussing the enormous sums
contributed TO the political parties,
the Boston paper says:
"A poor man expresses his politi-
cal emotions by shouting while a
rich man expresses his by drawing a
check But the emotions Of both
nave some natural limit If a man
shouts very loud and long he is in
Variably suspected of being moved by
some selfish calculation of person
al advantage to be gained 1t is
equally true OF the man who draws
a check for the campaign treasury.
The public can not believe that his
pure emotion should require more
than four or five figures for its eX-
preston
There is no more laudable thing for
a man 10 do than TO contribute his
money in the interest of cause
which he believes to be right Every
man ought to be sufficiently interest
ed in every cause to be willing to
contribute something one way or an
other-the way he wants it settled.
But when man contributes more
than a reasonable amount-when he
goes beyond the limit-then the pub
Iic Is pretty apt to believe that there
Is something else than sentiment in
'oved The men who gave their
tens Of thousands of dollars to the
campaigns OF 1904 and 1908 are no
more patriotic than other men; there
have been other issues which should
have interested them 10 as great ex
tent. So when we read where they
gave fortunes TO have certain men
elected We have right to believe
else than pure patriotism
influenced them in the giving

WOMAN'S NATIONAL
DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE


The Woman's National Democratic
league organized in Washington on
June 2nd under auspicious circum-
stances, made its real debut at the
convention in Baltimore. all of the
officers and a score of members at
tending nearly every one of the ses-
sions-even the all night ones. The
object OF the league is the promotion
of the priciples OF Democracy the at
tainment and preservation Of unity,
the upbuilding OF the party and the
promotion OF its wefare-"in wom-
ans way" Its founders agreed not to
advocate nor oppose any Democrat
for the presidency until he was chos-
en- by the convention at Baltimore,
and then TO offer him their hearty
support. This was done in a tele-
gram to Woodrow Wilson and his
running mate, Thomas r. Marshall
during the first regular executive
board meeting held at the Hotel Bel
vedere Baltimore, according TO the
ION the first week day
following the close of the conven-
ton July 3.
The meeting was presided over by
the president, Mrs. John Sherwin
Crosby. of New York. the first vice
president, Mrs. J Charles Linthi
cum, with her usual hos9itable Gus
tom, acting as hostess, both for the
and the beautiful luncheon
which followed.-Grace Porter Hop

"oLD Arm" BENNETT
AND BASEBALL.


Arnold Bennett, or "Old Arm, as
Franklin P. Adams dubs him, mas
been writing his opinions of Ameri-
can life in Harper's. and in the cur
rent namber he describes his impress
sions of baseball game.
Now don't 20 out and buy Harp
ers thinking you're going 10 get a
rattling description OF a baseball
game. something like that story OF
an association football game In The
Matador of the Five Towns. Mr.
Bennett. or Old Arm, shamelessly
sidesteps the American national
game. He says he admires the
game Immensely but he carefully re-
trains from describing what he saw
on the grounds Instead, he de-
si,ribes a sight on the outheld fence
a big. glaring sign. that told OF the
three-dollar hat with the tive-dollar
look.
"Old Arm" yielded to the appeal
of the American advertising writer,
where the appeal of the base6aii
player failed. The sign made
greater impression on him than the
game. He tells how it made him
think Of Europe. where people
strive. even as people strive IN thls
country, 10 make a three-doliar eA-
penditure look like five. At the
last he tells. not Of the close OF the
game, but how the setting sun
throws a veil of purple about the
three dollar hat with the five dollar
look

CIVIL SERVICE OFFERS AT
 TRACTIVE EMPLOYMENT

Uncle Sam has 35O,OOO jobs held by those who must pass competitive examinations. There are nearly 5O,OOO appointments made each year. The salaries excellent, hours short, work pleasant, and splendid opportu- mites for advancement. Govern ment employees, whether iu Washington, the leading cities. or scattered throughout the country have 6ne oppartunity for study, selfinprovement, or outside work.
 There is but one way to get into the government service. that is by passing a rigid examina- tion.
 ] Special preparation for these examinations is absolutely essen. tial and in order to provide this. the Albuquerque Business Col lege has organized a special civi, service department and has em. ployed Mir. Geo. C. Taylor, Of Washington, D. C., to take charge of this work. Mir. Taylor comes directly from the service of the government, having re- gently held a responsible position in the bureau of appointments, civil service commission. He has also had extensive experience in other departments ofthe service. The Albuquerque Business Col lege is the only school in the west employing a specialist to conduct the work of civil ser vice department and students Eenrolling for this course will be under the personal instruction of Mr. Taylor. These courses will also be taught by mail.
 The school has prepared a special circular, How to Enter Civil Service" which will be sent on request. ~ l-oa7

WILL PETITION
 FOR REFERENDUM


 Petitions are being circulated by Santa Fe officials to refer the law compelling railroads to put electric headlights on all engires, the law prohibiting the hand ling over seventy cars in one train and what IS known as the full crew bill, to the people at the coming election this fall.
 Petitions are now being circu lated along the line of the road.
 Generally speaking there seems to be little opposition to two of the measures am ong railroad men, but there is considerable objection among railroad men to the electric headlight. which they claim is blinding too many men working against them.
 However, the vote this fall, if the petitions are successful, will show what the populace think oi the laws.
