When Mr. Taft said at Milwaukee

sion should be immediate. and on the
whole there should be a substantial

To this barricade We have come at

CAR SHORTAGE.

The old fake cry of car shortage"
has been heard nearly every fall and
winter when grain and coal could not
be moved.
1t does not appear that the railroads
OF the country make proper effort at
the proper time TO prevent the fall
and winter car shortage. There is OBJ
viously very poor plan in operation
OF car exchange Empty cars are neg
lected on sidings and in the fall when
the general rush comes, blockades de-
velop and the car shortage outrages
are again perpetrated.
This is really no car shortage, but
a shortage OF method for moving the
cars. Conditions sometimes have al
most warranted the suspicion that fail
ure 70 move the cars was intentional
for the effect II might have upon
prices.
The consumer is always the sufferer.
He waits for what he wants. and pays
a higher price as a penalty for being

he does not remove his freight prompt.

COMMENT FROM THE CAPITAL

Those people who work in the WOOL
en- mills are protected" That 10. the
multi-mllionaire wooden trust mag
mates who come to Washington for
excessive protection. say that the sole
reason they desire tariff rates which
give them a monopoly on American
markets and permit them to charge
double the value for wooden clothing.
is that they are protecting their en-
ployees."
LIBERAL CAMPAIGN DONATIONS.
In addition TO making this plea, of
course, the trust magnates make lib
eral contributions to the campaign
funds of the party of protection.
Schedule X was born of this practice.
Here is a plain question for the
American people to ask themselves:
Why should they longer permit a few
rich men to force them to pay exorbi-
tant prices for every article Of wooden
clothing they wear, on the pretext OF
these tariff barons that they are pro,
tecting" their employees, as long as
these employees are not only not being
protected, but are being paid such low
wages that they can scarcely afford
to try TO raise a family?
When will the people see that pro,
lection as il is played in this country
is simply a cold-blooded, sordid bust
ness proposition? That is exactly
what 1t is. The wooden trust magna.es
contribute literally to the campaign
funds of the party of protection with
the understanding that If that party
! is successful they will be given sum
cient protection to enjoy monopolies
with the privilege of putting sufficient
protection to enjoy monopolies with
the privilege of putting prices so high
that they can extort not only the cam
paign fund investment, but enormous
/ dividends on watered stock as we'll.

THE MEN WHO STAY THEIR Eel
LOWS

When, within a little more than an
hour, in New York state prison.
seven convicted murderers, one after
another, were put 10 death, the coun-
try shuddered The execution OF one
man, or even two, would have attract
I'd little attention. but, illogical as il
undoubtedly was, the public could
not but feel that in the Legal. cvIu.
blooded killing OF seven a butchery
had taken place.
Yet what is the other side OF rhe
case? The statistics gathered by the
American Prison association show that
in the United States. including its
dependencies, 80 persons are murder
ed every day. In the city of New
York. during the month of July. there
was killing every day. During July,
last year, in the same city, there were
10 unlawful homicides. In London.
which has a population more than
half again as large as New York, there
we're only - murders in July. last
year. Chicago. in 1909, had rs kill
ings, as against 90 for London, a city
over three times as large
The cause Of this disparity is not
that more liquor is consumed in pro-
portion to population in the cities Of
this country than in London. Gov
ernment statistics show that the CON
trary is true. There is only one posi-
HE explanation. In England the laws
are enforced as rigidly and prompt
ly as possible and without regard TO
persons or political pull" II is ex-
ceedingly difficult for a man who Stays
another 70 escape capture, and when
caught he is quickly convicted and
the penalty Of his crime Is inflicted
on him. The laXness OF law enforce
ment in this country, particularly up
on those guilty of murder, is so great
and general that it constitutes a ma
tional scandal.
Public sentiment in favor OF abolish
ing capital punishment Is undoubtedly
growing The chastity record just made
in New York will give II new force
and volume. But unless there Is a
very radical change for the better in
the enforcement OF the law. the doing
away with the death penalty will sure
ly swell the country's annual murder
record TO proportions more startling
than It has already reached.
