Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va. March g. 1912.
With the primary for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for mayor, and
also nominating four aldermen and eight
members Of the common council, but
twenty-six days off, interest in the con-
test becomes more and more pronounced.
Both of the candidates for mayor, HUI
bert Snowden and A. D. Brockett as well
as their friends, now are engaged in a
vigorous contest. Friends of both assert
they will win. From now on until the
day Of the primary, April %. no stone
will be left unturned by the friends of
either candidate.
The fight, however, has been clean cut
and the indications are that 1t will con-
tinue so.
The fight for councilmen also is at
tracing considerable attention at the
present time. there being opposition in
the FIRST second and fourth wards. It Is
understood that there will be opposition
also in the third ward.

GRACE LETTERS SHOW
APPEALS FOR MONEY
Wife of Dying Southerner
Says Love Missives
Were Stolen.

ATLANTA, Ga. March 2S.-More let
tiers from Eugene Grace to his wife, who
he says, shot him. have come to light.
and they are composed Of appeals for
money and Of protestations Of passionate
love for Mrs Grace.
Mrs. Grace declared the letters were
genuine. but said she did not give them
out She said they had been stolen from
her. She said she had scores Of let
ters from her husband in which he con-
fessed to misdeeds and begged her for
money.
Grace's attorneys resent the publication
Of the letters, intimating they are forg-
cries and are being published in an effort
to blacken the character of a dying man.
In one letter, dated Newman, Ga, No
vember g. 1911, Grace says:
MY Darling Wife: Since writing You
the other letter tonight at home thought
L would write you another.
The Baldwin stock was bought for
you by Fleming, through Barney & Co.,
South 4th street Now. il you can get
another 81 900 besides this $1,000, you
first telephone Barney & Co., and ask
what Baldwin Locomotive is selling at.
then call up Drexel Co, and ask them
the same question. Then ask il they can
sell your fifty shares at once for cash. You
know the price onn that stock varies-that
Is, it may be selling at 1O314 per share on up
to 1861 per share, and YOU have to sell
at the market price or quotation.

new CHURCH TO
BEGIN TOMORROW
Poles, Austrians, Lithuanians,
Bohemians and Hungarians
Organize.

Rev Father Bernard Skulik Is now
working in the tri-cities, East Moline
and Silvis in the interest of the new
church which he is organizing, and
has announced that the United Slavish
ces of the tri-cities will have their
first mass Sunday morning at 10
O'Clock in Turner hall, Sixteenth street
and Sixth avenue, Moline. Rev. Sku-
lik, the Roman Catholic priest, rector
of st. Mary's church in Hooppole, ILL.,,
and newly appointed organizer of the
foreigners, and especially the Poles,
Lithuanians, Bohemians, Austrians and
Hungarians of this vicinity, is now the
guest of ]. F. Lockney, rector of Sa-
cred Heart church. He has been busy
acquainting himself with the foreign
element, taking census OF them al
ready, and has secured about LOO
names. The mass Sunday will be in
three different languages. Though
poor, the people are willing to support
church, and are anxious that the
priest should remain among them
They give as generously as possible
Father Skulik believes that if the
church is organized that within four
months 100 Polish families from La
Sale, Peru. Spring Valley and other
Illinois cities will come to this dis
trict.
He has had considerable experience
in establishing chruches, having organ
lied two parishes and built numberless
churches in all parts of the United
States. He Is also editor of two mag
azines and has written books in Pol
ish, German. italian and Latin. all OF
which have received very favorable
press comment.

SUBSTITUTE EFFICIENCY.
Monopoly is always in the long
run weak and inefficient, and the
leaders of the democratic party know
perfectly well that they are serving
the business interests of the country
much better, much more intelligently,
than the leaders of either of the other
parties, because they mean SO TO reg
ulate competition and free the condi-
tons of business in this country as to
substitute the efficient for the merely
powerful 1t is futile TO stand for the
causes of our present wrongs and
weakly propose to control and mod
crate the results and yet that is all
that our opponents suggest.
They even propose 10 remedy the
results by the very means by which
they were produced, namely the
partnership of the government in the
management OF big business. !, for
my part, can never bring myself to
accept the proposal that the govern
ment by regulation shall act through
the trusts for the people. The con-
tact between the government and the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-09-21

have been developed along the short
est and most serviceable lines; but
they also know that this class of nat
ural monopolies' is comparatively
small, and that there is no analogy
between the regulation OF railways
and the regulation Of artificial monop-
ely created by deliberate combination
and agreement, based not upon eff
cheney but upon control Of a particu-
lar product and particular markets.
Prices have risen all over the
world. but much faster and very much
higher in high tariff countries, where
monopoly was protected, than in low
tariff countries, where competition
excluded monopoly And the chief
cause of high prices in America is
that the markets are controlled. They
can be controlled because the tariff
screens them from the economic
forces which establish prices in the
markets of the world at large.
NO wonder therefore, that the
leaders of the republican and pro-
gressive parties are saying less about
high prices. They dare not, or will
not, go straight at the cause of high
prices in this country in the RENE
Dies which they propose. Govern
ment regulation will shield monopoly
as well as guide it, and regulation is
not freedom.
ABANDON CENTRAL ISSUES.
THE net result is that both these
parties have to all intents and pur-
poses abandoned the central issues of
the campaign. The democrats alone
are bold enough and far-sighted
enough to see that they must tackle
frankly and directly this question.
Upon what principle shall tariff du-
ties be laid, and by what means shall
monopoly be prevented?
! They understand the interests of
I the country quite as we'll as the gen.
I tlemen who have played providence
To those interests for their own bene
/ them from another point of view, and
they suspect this human providence
and distrust it.
"They see as clearly as anyone else
sees that business must in our day
be done upon great scale, but they
know that there is a size which is
unnatural in business. The size
which is unnatural is built up upon
certain kinds of agreements, certain
/ sinds of practices, certain under
standings with regard to contro
which are seldom economical and
whose object is not efficiency. The
right and wholesome kind of size
comes from natural growth, from the
development of a business managed
/. with brains, with the closest study o.
efficiency and economy, with a sort o
statesmanlike knowledge of the mar
kets of the world, and that kind o

people in such a case is too remote
and indirect This is no way in which
TO restore the confidence of the peo-
pie. 1t is only a way in which to
provide the people with new guar
dams, guardians interested above all
things in making a profit out of their
guardianship, political profit, be it
observed, as we'll as an economic
profit. l wonder what the regulation
is to accomplish for the working men
through the instrumentality of those
who have been their most successful
opponents.
For, after all. the attitude of gov
eminent towards labor lies at the
heart of almost everything that con-
Germs US as nation. A nation may
be said to consist of those who do its
daily labor, and America has always
bcasted that it was the home of free
labor, that all were welcome to come
to its shores and partake of its un'
bounded opportunities.
FOR MORE Opportunities.
Shall we substitute for this dream
and ambition of ours a regime under
which great regulated monopolies
shall be forever the chief patrons OF
labor? Shall we not, on the con-
trary, assist TO set our laboring men
free by placing them in a field of var
led enterprise, controlled by no man,
by no set of men, by no government,
where they can look about for oppor-
tunity and find it, where they can act
as they please, within the limits OF
right and justice, in their own inter
( est, where an economic democracy
will make them feel that they have a
vital part in everything that affects
/ the enterprise and the hope Of the
success of the nation?
81, for one, shall not abandon this
hope. l, for one, am confident that
prosperity does not depend upon mo-
nopoly. l, for one, believe that with
Just a little intelligence, just a little
courage, just enough Indifference to
special interests, just little inspira-
ton of hope, we can restore Ameri-
can life to the conditions of which
we were once so proud, and obtain
for ourselves again a government
which can serve US all without fear
or favor, and make itself an instru'
ment by which our life as a nation
may be eased and ennobled."

Both Republican and Progressive Can
didatss Pledged TO Protee-
tIon Promises.

Columbus. Ohio. Sept. 21.-Gover-
nor WIlsin's speech here last night
In greater part was devoted 10 high
prices and their cause He said the
leaders of the republican and pro-
Gresstys parties were abandoning
this issue which is the central one
Of the campaign. An analysis Of big
business" as assisted by the protec-
tive tarin was made by the speaker,
who said in part:
The leaders OF the republican
party and the leaders OF the third
PARTY have astonished the whole coun-
try by practically abandoning any
serious attempt TO meet the main is
sues Of the campaign. The leaders
OF the third party, in particular, in
terest US anew every day by seeking
new issues and shifting the ground
Of debate. At the outset they declared
that the real issue of the present
contest was the high cost of living,
but they have laid less and less en-
phasis upon that, because they have
seen that they cannot seriously at
tack that question without attacking
the questions OF the tariff and OF the
trusts in a very different way from
that in which they are actually ap-
preaching them.
BOTH FOR PROTECTION.
Both the republican party and the
third party subscribe explicitly and
ardently TO the principle OF protec-
ton. They admit that there are de-
fects in practice, that some duties are
too high, that some extortions have
resulted from some schedules of the
tariff, but while they are ready to
tinker. they are not ready to alter
IN any essential particular the sys-
tenn by which special advantages and
privileges in industry have been
built up in this country. They stand
for the system, and in their embar-
rassment declare that the tariff is
aot the cause OF high prices, at any
rate not the chief cause.
They are very vague about what
the chief cause is, because as a mat
ter OF fact the chief cause is the ma
nipulation OF prices by the trusts,
and they are tender also towards the
practice monopoly, that monopoly was
the object of the trusts but they
throw up their hands in despair wher
Il is suggested that monopoly may be
destroyed. and reply, No, 1t is very
unfortunate. but It has come to stay
