BUSINESS AND THE ELECTION.

TT T is noticeable how many of the papers are commenting on
the general business prosperity of the country, as if it
was something of a phenomenon for this presidential cleo
ton year. The truth of the matter is that we have had bumper
crops. The soil is the source of all wealth and an abundant
harvest means brisk times. 1t is simply a special dspensation
of Providence that a rich yield of the products of the earth should
make up for the natural depression of industrial activities that
usually attends a national campaign. AS for the effect of the
state of business upon the election, good times will not have any
marked influence upon the fortunes of the ms or the outs. The
great issue in this campaign is going to be the high cost of
living. If abundant crops had brought lower prices of the
necessaries of life the administration would have profted politi-
cally. But nothing seems to be cheaper, even of the things that
nature is pouring out most abundantly.

1t is considered how hard he worked
to earn the money. If that is all
that Penrose got he was cheated.

LIKE ABOLISHfNG THE CAN7EEM.

M Y Just such a moral freak as that which passed the pro.
Id vision in the postof6ce appropriation bill closing all post
offices on a Sunday, Congress some years ago passed the
senseless and pernicious bill for the abolition of the canteen in
the army, And by the same freakiness Congress has since re-
fused to repeal a law that has done immense moral harm to the
army. There is in public life an extraordinary amount of
pharisaism and hypocrisy. If there was more honesty and sin
cerity and courageous performance of duty the nation would be
fortunate.

NO INFANTRY FOR NICARAGUA.

cn AKING second thought, President Taft recalls his order
for the dispatch of the Tenth Infantry to Nicaragua. At
the eleventh hour he discovers that the marine force now
there or on its way is sufficient. This change of program is
evidence enough of the unwilingness of our government to inter
fere in the affairs of the L~atin-American states except under
extreme provocation. AT the same time it shows that there is
no purpose by the administration to kick up any international
trouble in order to direct the public mind from political issues.

MFAMY's RESPECTABLE LANDLORDS.

~ FTER all, there are not so many names of "milionaires
m and society leaders" in the list of landlords of gambling
houses as revealed by Police Commissioner Waldo, of
New York. But there are more than there ought to be. All
should be prosecuted alike, as District Attorney Whitman prom
ises. 1t makes no difference whether greed or negligence made
these respectable estates, financial institutions and capitalists
sharers in the profits of vice. Ignorance of the use to which
their property is put is no excuse for corporations or individuals.

that the thoughtful, progressive

unite to give the country freedom Of
enterprise and a government releas-
ed from all corporate and private in
fluences and devoted to justice and
progress. There is absolutely moth
Ing for the honest and enlightened
business men to fear. No man
whose business Is conducted without
violations OF the rights Of free COM
petition and without such private
understanding and secret alliances
as violate the principle Of our law
and the policy Of all wholesome COM
merce and enterprise, need fear
either interference or embarrassment
from the administration. Our hone
and purpose Is now to bring all the
forces Of the nation into active and
intelligent cooperation and to give
to our prosperity a freshness and
spirit and a confidence such as 1t has
not had in our time.
Responsibilities Of the ash are
tremendous, but they are common
responsibilities which all leaders OF
action and opinion must share, and
with the confidence Of the people be-
hind us, everything that Ia right is
possible. My own ambition will be
more than satisfied II l may be per-
