Wilson. president Of the United States.
possess himself Of newspaper at
Trenton, in which he may similarly
dispose himself toward those who
agree with him and those who oppose
him?
The difference is one Of degree and
not of essential principle.
The ethics of the presidency and of
the prime minister's Office are irnme-
mortal. The people are supposed to
be the only partners OF these highest
public officials The American people
do not like to think of Secretary OF
State Bryan ais the editor OF The Linz
coin Commoner. The secretary has
become national. His high office ID
impersonal and unpartisan. II Mr..
Bryan desires to defend Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds and to personally re-
buke his critics the press Of the coun-
try is waiting TO convey his official
opinions to the American public. II,
But the people do not conceive that
the individuality of one of their high
est representatives lis TO be privately
projected on the financial fortunes Of
a private newspaper, or TO be exploit
ed from public station created and
dignified by the will Of the people and
the genius of the government.
1t is the general opinion that MIR
Bryan has made another mistake.

Trespass on Railroads.

Minneapolis Journal: Samuel O.
Dunn, in a discussion of railroad acci-
dents in The Atlantic Monthly, makes
the reasonable point that no railroad
reforms, however costly and extensive.
will appreciably diminish the number
of casualties until public opinion has
Deen aroused to understand that the
public no less than the railroads has
it's responsibilities.
The fact that IAN appaHlfngly large
number of persons are killed every
year on American railroads is usually
attributed to the frequency of COL
ilslons. But Mr.. Dunn points out that,
II none of the collisions Of 1912 had
occurred, the casulties would have
been reduced in number less than 5
per cent! The losses Of life were. in
fact, largely caused by trespass. Walk
ing on the tracks accounts for a very
large share of the accidents.
When this fact is finally appreciated
| by the public, the first tendency will
be to saddle responsibility on the rail-
roads. 1t will be argued that they must
renee their rights Of way and eliminate
grade crossings in the cities. Yet in
! Chicago, where grade crossings have
been largely abolished and the tracks
elevated, trespass thereon is intoler-
| ably prevalent. Men Chamber up onto
the elevated trackway and shortcut
| it to their destinations. Numerous
deaths result and these, included in
the interstate commerce commission's
annual report, help to make public
| opinion against railroads.
Block signals, eliminated grade
crossings, fences, better rails, steel
coaches, all of which are demanded
mean the expenditure of billions by
the railroads. The work cannot all be
done at once. Yet, if all of them
were achieved tomorrow, their safe
guarding purposes would be partially
missed, unless the American mind
could also be seriously impressed with
| the fact that trespass is highly dan
! geTous. AS yet there is no public opin-
ion on this subject, and this initiates
heavily against the solution of the
problem Of safety in railroad opera

Summer Foods AS +.
Cause Of Dyspepsia

The skin trouble is easily stopped by
disseminating fruit for few days, and
py the use of a mild laxative to clean,
the bowels and tone the blood. The
dyspepsia is likewise corrected by the
use of a laxative that has combined
with it the elements of a digestive
tonic. Hence the best remedy to use
is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which,
as it's name indicates, is pleasant
laxative combined with the virtues of
pepsin, which we all know is the best
cure for indigestion.
Use Syrup Pepsin also for summer
diarrhoea. Avoid astringents physics
and cathartics, as they are unnecessar-
lily harsh. Thousands of good Ameri-
can families prefer DR.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin, among them those Of
Mrs. w A, Taylor, Beloit, Wis, who
finds she can give it to her baby with
out causing cramps or pains, and Mrs
VIM. Q. Richter, Clayville, Va, who
considers it a laxative tonic absolutely
unexcelled. They know of no pleas
anter cure for constipation, liver trou-
Die, indigestion, summer diarrhoea, etc.
1t is valuable to all the family from
infancy to old age. Children like its
taste. ;, All druggists sell it at fifty

being the family size -'%''!

NO NEEDFoR CHILLS.

+ The Minneapolis Tribune observes:
pThe bankers of the nation are plain
lly genuine in their alarm over the
currency bill. The rest of us may
assume that the bill is far from per-
feet. 1t is clear, moreover, that the
judgment Of the bankers, as express
ed in. the Reynolds speech at Duluth
and the views Of democratic leaders
In congress are irreconcilable.
Yet there is no occasion for chflIs
among the bankers. With one major
exception, they can obtain, proba bly,
any alteration of the pending measure
upon which they themselves can agree
The exception is that the American
people have determined that the con-
troll. Of the currency system shall be
effectively governmental. AS for any
other provision of the bill, if the bank
ers Of the nation have just objection
to urge against it they can only blame
themselves if such objection does not
prevail.
IT they will spend one-tenth Of the
effort upon educating the people an6
the representatives of the people which
other agencies in lesser causes have
been willing to spend, they need MOI
fear the outcome in congress. 1t is
plain to every student of conditions ir
congress that even without united &C.
tion on the part of the bankers the
bill will be radically amended in the
senate.
This, The Tribune believes, is q
measure Of protection which the bank
ers have hardly earned. But if, in
addition to it, they would obtain still
further changes in the bill they can
not hope to do so unless through a
more intelligent Difference to public
opinion than they have yet vouchsafed

Politics, Business and the People

Since the claimant scandal about the
lobby maintained by a business organ
ization at Washington, observes DIR.
Frank Crane there has been renewed
expression of contempt and condemna-
tion for politics and politicians. p.
This is wholly wrong. The public
thinks in ruts. We have been so, used
to calling politics dirty that we fly to
the conclusion that anything is corrupt
with which politics has to do. I, ~
On the contrary, it is because the
politicians were in the affair that it Is
curable. Suppose there had been none,
suppose the only powers at hand for
the business clique to bribe had been
a king and council, a bureaucracy or
other small and unelected group? Then
the same crimes would have been
handedly procured, and the public
could not help itself. But because 1t
was necessary to corrupt officials de-
pending upon votes of the people for
their jobs the scandal is out, and the
remedy, public opprobrium and the
blasting Of regulations, is at hand.
Politics is just as good as the people
behind it. Even a bit better
Behind the politicians are two class
es: the general public, which is Grim
inally Indifferent, and the interested
privilege seekers, who are criminally
active
The general public are deficient in
civic, do not realize that by proper or
ganization they could relieve all their
political evils, and by their narrow
indifference hand all public concerns
over to place seekers and grafters.
If they believed in self government,
trained their children in its arts, and
actively took part in public matters,
| they would not have to hand the gov
ernment Of the country over to polite
| al parties, which invariably become
stupid and corrupt engines operated by

Senator Hitchcok's Amendment

Minneapolis Journal: Senator Hitch
cocks withdrawal from the democratic
caucus, because his amendment for the
progressive taxation Of the big tobacco
companies was rejected, does not nee
essarily mean that he will vote against
the bill. He means to preserve his
right to offer the same amendment on
the floor of the senate.
The amendment is an endeavor to
use the taxing power to execute the
Sherman antitrust law. 1t is not ger
name to the tariff bill. The Sherman
act defines restraint of trade and pro-
vides penalties for the offense. It
does not provide anywhere that men
who violate it shall have their prop
erty confiscated by unjust, discrimin-
atory taxation. The theory Of the
law is that where owners and opera
tors of properties have it pointed out
to them that they have violated the
law, the law will be satisfied if they
cease their illegal acts. The Hitchcock
amendment seeks to put such men un-
der perpetual burden of unjust taxa
ton. Nay more, if their business is of
size that seems to give them the
power to violate the Sherman act, they
are to come under the excessive pains
Of the tax law for fear they might ex-
ercise the power in their grasp.
Such anticipatory coniscation is not
within the proper purview of Ameri-
can law. The senatorial caucus prop
erly rejected it as having nothing to
do with the formation Of revenue
measure. Senator Hitchcock has
stepped outside the causus merely to
see what pressure he may be able to
exert to get consideration when the
bill comes into the senate. He is not
likely to get much more than he has
already secured. Some Of the radical
lprogressives may support him, but that

EDITORIAL. COMMENT
Beveridee's Futile Analogy.


Calumet News: Former Senator
Beveridge has an article in The Sat
urday Evening Post, in which he argues
how impossible it is that progressive
and republican parties should ever
come together again.
lie builds his argument chiefly on
denial of the assumption that the pro-
gressives are merely republicans who
nave become disaffected. He finds that
they are democrats as well as repub-
Hcans. 1t would be unreasonable, he
suggests, to ask men who never voted
the republican ticket quietly to take
| their places in the republican ranks,
as though they had formerly been re-
publicans. but had voted against their
| party just once for protest.
The answer to this is that the DEM
ocrats who joined the progressives
are negligible quantity, comments
The Minneapolis Journal. Practically
all the democrats voted democratic
last time. CT course, there were
democrats who voted for Roosevelt
and possibly some who voted for Taft
but the outstanding fact is that Will
son received practically the Bryan
vote.
The democrats who joined the pro-
gressives cannot expect to run the
are too insignificant. Nor should
sentimental regard for the feelings of
this minority be allowed to stand in
the way of reunion of the republican
factions, If such reunion seems desir
able. Mr.. Beveridge, being unalter-
ably opposed to reunion for reasons
or his own, strives to make these few
democrats in the progressive party
an unansWerable argument against it.
The democratic progressive argu-
ment fails, but Mr., Beveridge has
another. He goes back to Lincoln's
time and relates for purposes of
analogy the efforts made between 1856
and 1860 to unite all the elements up-
posed to the democrats in one party.
Lincoln opposed this. Therefore Bev-
er1dge and some progressives who
imagine themselves to be the political
heirs Of Lincoln must do the same
But have they the same motive? An
analogy to be worth anything must
cover all essential features of the
comparison, and the comparison be-
tween the progressives of 1912 and the
republicans of 1858 breaks down at
the very beginning. The republicans
and the wings were separated by an
impossible gulf, the issue Of slavery.
The republicans were a free soil par
ty, the wings were a compromise
party. They could not come together
If Mr.. Beveridge will state an equal
difference between the progressives
and the republicans, he will have
made case and nothing more need
be said about the amalgamation.
OF course he will not do so, be-
cause no such vital difference exists,
as is shown by the numerous instances
of progressives and republicans COM
ing together in Michigan, in Missouri,
in Chicago, and parts of Massachusetts
since the campaign Of 1912,

COMM MENDARLE ACTION.

President Wilson is entitled to much
fcredt for his successful intervention
fin the dispute between fifty-two east
bern railroads and their trainmen anG
conductors. The conference at the
tWhite House early this week resulted
fin postponement Of any strike action
until Wednesday night, the president
Eand congressional leaders agreeing to
EhaVe the Newlands Clayton act enact
FED into law in the meantime. This act
Eprovides for satisfactory arbitration
Iof railroads and other disputes.
The perfected bill creates the
itCnited States board Of mediation
rand conciliation," to be composed of a
commissioner of mediation and concili-
tation appointed by the president with
Ithe consent Of the senate, with a sal
Iary of $500 and a tenure of seven
years, and not more than two other
foffictals Of the government already ap-
hpointed by the president with the con-
Esent of the senate, who shall be des-
hgnated by him as the two other mem
Ebers of the board. There also would
sbe an assistant commissioner with a
salary of $4,000 authorized to act in
the commissioners absence.
T For the settlement Of controversies
as they might arise, the measure
Eprovides for boards of arbitration
|of six or three to be selected with the
help Of the board of mediation and
Econciliation whenever necessary. The
Halter board would pass upon any dis
agreements among the arbitrators.

sharp and selfish manipulators, .
Public Indifference and distrust of
democracy is the sin; the political
party is its devastating curse and con-

Then comes business. <n
1t takes a long while for business to
find out that fraud never pays, and
tnat there are no stable profits but
clean profits. I. .,-. :,
Time was when grocers sanded the
sugar, and clothiers sold shoddy for
honest Woolen, and merchants lied
steadily about their goods-asked two
prices with the expectation of hag-
CLING and coming down-and the mot
to was Let the buyer beware.
That time has passed with the ma
lority. Of American business men. They
nave found they can make more mon
ey in the long run by telling the truth
and asking one price.
Statesmen are no longer expected to
get the customer drunk, give him a re-
bate, or present him with a, gold
watch. It's poor business.
Big business, combined business, is
lust now learning the same lesson
.Br1bine legislators to secure tariff fav-
ors, bribing aldermen to get city fran
chises, Wining and carousing and
sneaking and doing dirt, lis just as fool
business when conducted by a trust or
national association as when practiced
by the corner grocer
American business men have
astounded, the world by their achieve
ments. Not a gram of their success
has been due to lobbyists and bribers
These vermin have always cost more
than they come to. They have beer
the leeches upon the body of business
And the sooner the business men oil
the country come to their senses and
clean themselves of quasi -crimina
methods and do all business honestly
openly and above board, the better.
