THE MENACE OF The MONEY
TRUST

The naive manner in which Mr.. J.
Pierpont Morgan stated on the witness
stand during the progress of the inves-
tigation by the Pujo committee that
there could be no money trust chal-
Ienges attention. Especially is this true
when one considers the fact that Mr..
Morgan has not denied the charge that
he controls twenty-five billion dollars
of money.
Twenty-Five billion dollars! The sum
almost staggers belief. An ordinary
man cannot get more than vague
conception of that immense amount Of
money. The probabilities of good 81
evil contained within the power of the
man who controls that large an amount
of money should be a matter of con-
Germ to the people OF the nation.
The investigation by the Pujo COM
mittee in the House of Representatives
has served to show clearly that this
enormous amount of money is directly
connected with the Wall street stock
exchange. The imperative necessity
for the regulation of Wall street is
made the basis of a statement by the
New York World, which gives as its
reasons the facts that the stock ey-
change is not incorporated, that it $
enabled legally to practice usury and
that it is the only place in the country
where gambling accounts can be for
chilly settled by law,
In the statements made by this pop
.ular newspaper is contained the gist OF
the argument against the use of this
enormous amount of money in any
other than a careful and legitimate
manner. For instance, the people of
the United States should be protected
against gambling or reckless use of
this enormous sum to produce panic
or other hurtful condition. The inves-
tigation by the Pujo committee cannot
but prove helpful Mr. Morgan says
that a money trust is impossible, but
the majority of the people of the Unit
ed States believe otherwise.

A PROGRAM OF PROGRESS
(New York World.)

The World herewith presents ten
great reforms which it commends to
the intelligent opinion of its hundreds
of thousands of readers:
l. Tariff revision to reduce the cost
of living. with unremitting opposition
to all forms of government waste and
extravaganza.
2. Enforcement of the criminal pro-
visions of the Sherman Antitrust law
against all deliberate offenders.
3. Incorporation of the New York
Stock Exchange and such other leg
islation as may be necessary to safe
guard legitimate business from the
public evils of stock gambling and
stock-jobbing,
A. An elastic currency system that
is not subject to Wall street control
and manipulation.
3. Strict regulation of child labor.
6. An employers liability law, by
constitutional amendment if necessary.
7. Effective protection of women
wage-earners,
s. Direct nomination of candidates
for state office, with constitutional
provision for the short ballot
8. Home rule for New York City,
with complete municipal power over
gambling, vice and liquorsellng, and
a reorganization of the Police Depart
ment
10. The overthrow of Murphy, and
the election of a capable anti-Tam-
many Mayor next fall,
This is probram of progress. The
Democratic party in the state and ma
ton can perform no higher public SER
vice than to carry it into effect
An increase of more than 100 per
cent. in the Socialist vote, the support
that more than 100000 citizens gave
to the semi-socialist Roosevelt can
didacy, is sufficient proof of a rapidly
growing unrest that will no longer be
satisfied with perfunctcry reforms or
with government that does not adjust
itself to the changing needs of the gen.
eral welfare.
This program is in harmony with
true Democracy The principles which
lit represents are principles which The
World has championed for nearly thir-
ty years, and for which it will battle in
the future no less ardently and Wig
orously than it has battled in the past.

Death of Youthful Japanese Emperor.

According to a Spanish writer on
Japan, the most pathetic suicide re-
corded In the history Of that country
took place over eight centuries ago.
In 1881" writes Senior Gomez Caril-
10, "the nine-year-old Emperor Ko-
tuku saw his troops defeated. The
child disheveled his hair, wept copi-
ously, and invoked the holy name OF
Buddha. When he had finished his
nurse Nildono took him in her arms
to the seashore. There is a lovely
city beneath the bay she said, and
then the waves covered the emperor
and his nurse"

UNION PACIFIC PLAN
NOT SATISFACTORY

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE supreme
court today held that the plan adj
vanced by the Union Pacific attorneys
for the disposition of the entire stock
holdings of the Union Pacific Companv
in the Southern Pacific Company by
transfer to the stockholders of the
Union Pacific Company, would not so
effectually end the Union Pacific mer-
ger as to comply with it's dissolution
decree.
Mon Pacific attorneys claimed for
the Union Pacific stockholders the ex-
elusive right of taking over the
$126, $4,000 worth of Southern Pa
cifc stocks, which the supreme court
found the Union Pacific Railroad
Company owned in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
According OF the decision of the su-
preme court, delivered by Justice DAILY
it is held that the plan of the Union
Pacific attorneys is not in accordance
with the decree of the court, and
the are ordered to Immediately p,..
pare and submit a further plan 70
