while the motorists feel that the in

pay, rather than contest it in court
Local motorists and lawmakers
alike, declare the new law unconstitu-

it successfully in the courts.

sink from a place OF political preferment and
confidence OF his people to a money grubber
His retlrment from public life in order 10
practice his profession is but illustration of
this quality Of the man. Others have spent
years in public service to retire later in eife to
earn support for himself and his family and
have left with God-speed heartily given, but
Mr. Bailey leaves without the cause of regret
ard without the feryent well-wishes that might
have been his He leaves because he must
leave in time and IL was his love of money that
has eventually made his retrment TO make
more money necessary.
1t is not worth while to enter into a diA-
cussion OF Senator Bailey's connection with
the Standard oil oompany's subsidiaries. 1t
Is enough to recall that he placed his good name
In jeopardy for fat fee; that he sold his power
acquired by political position for gain; that he
gave 10 the enemy of his State OF the abilities
which he should have devoted to protecting thu
interests OF his people. He may have kept within
the law; but he failed to observe that strict ad-
herence 10 dealsm and TO his trust which the
people today are demanding Of their servants.
II Is true. that it was Senator Bailey's ina
bility TO adjust hts views to those OF today and
his conservative cast Of mind which fastened
the end, but it was the faint of oil assumed for
the sake of gain which is at the bottom The
disclosures OF his connection with the Waters

picion OF sympathy with the corporations.
which in tho course of the performance OF his

have received more respectful attention

tuition which many modern statesmen believe

ATSTRIA'S LOSSES.

The polygot empire of Austria Hungary
which was so anxious to share In the spells
OF the war which she did not fight. that she
stands in danger of getting what she deserves
exactly nothing.
Other nations which did not make their
greed so plain and did not go TO such lengths
to satisfy 1t may not get all they had hoped,
but they can derive more satisfaction from the
situation than Austria. The port the Aegean
is lost, Noyi Bazaar is out OF her reach, Sa-
lonika will not be hers. The Columbia State
catalogues Austria's disappointments as fol-
lows:
THE new nation OF Albania. which is about
u be erected on the shores of the Adriatic, uu-
der the protection of the Triple Alliance and
other powers, and which Is to be autonomous,
independent and neutral. will not merely be
hostile to Austria and friendly toward Italy
and Greece but will nightly distuAb the FIVE
and half million Serbs resident In Austria
and constituting almost one-third OF the total
population of that polyglot empire. Austria
seems also to have been checked on the Adriat.c
and shut of from the Aegean, having lost in
this Balkan-Turkish war all hope of eventually
controlling both Novi Bazaar and Salonika,
while the erection of a neutral SerYian port on
the Adriatic, reached by neutral or interna-
tional railway, also menaces her commercial
status and impairs her strategical position"
No sympathy will be lost on Austria. II she

DR. Charles Read. who has been severely
scored by Theodore Roosevelt without being
given an opportunity to defend himself, is
probably prejudiced In his views OF that gen

public confidential letters from the Mikado
"abysmsl infamy" he speaks a truth that any
honorable man can understand at glance
Roosevelt has announced that he contem-
plates publishing a series of articles bearing
upon the proposals that brought about peace
between Russia and Japan and proving that
Y was Japan and not Russia which FIRST asked
for peace For proof Roosevelt proposes to
publish letter received by him from the en-
peror of Japan.

ceived by Theodore Roosevelt, president of the
United States, in the view OF Or, Read and

CURRENT COMMENT
A Big Year in Invention.

| The Yankees turn for invention rises su-
lperior to every form of encouragement. Meth
er the multiplicity of inventions already in the
field nor the chilling influence of litigation
tends to put a check to that line Of achieve
ment For fertility OF resource and other man
ffestations of creative power we Of America
easily maintain our hold on first place, as the
patent Office returns show. Popular interest
largely centers in mechanical inventions the
class which has contributed most to our fame
and advancement The number of patents is
sued to applicants who submitted mechanical
designs shows gain OF 4,oS2 over the previous
year, or Go per cent, increase OF per cent
| over the ten-year average, or aggregate OF
42.72 per cent for the last decaGo.
The figures the more impressive when we
consider that the applications for patents OF all
kinds aggregated 69,239 for the year. and that
35,539 were favorably passed upon. AS the ex-
pirations were only 6.97o. the grand total of
live patents was increased by 1860, less re-
issues.

increased volume of business before the patent

opposing belief After stating that private
property is supposed to assure to individuals
the fruits OF their own labors, but that it has
not done 30. he declares that 1.-The principle OF
private property has never yet had fair
trial in any country" and continues:
THE laws have never yet conformed to the
principles which justification of private
property rests. They have heaped impediments
upon some to give advantage to others. They
have purposely fostered inequalities. II
the tendency OF legislation had been to favor
the diffusion instead OF the concentration Of
wealth--to encourage subdivision of the large
masses instead of striving to keep them to-
gether--the principles of private property
would have been found to have necessary
connection with the physical and social evils
which almost all socialists writer's assume to be
inseparable from it,
The policy Of protection Is Of the i'm
pediments heaped upon some to give advantage
to others. Our corporation laws foster in
lequalities. Our currency laws encourage con-
centration of wealth.
In modern times even more than In the days
OF JOnn stuart Mill the tendency Is toward
the concentration of wealth. In the United
States the Socialist and Progressive parties
assume that such concentration Is inevitable
and propose their own remedies. The social
It's propose that the concentration be carried
to It's logical conclusion, all the wealth be
taken over by the government and a more
equitable distribution be made by the abolition
of the capitalistic system. In other words they
would have the profits go to all instead of to
the few through the agency of the government
The Progressives take a middle ground, be-
lieving in private ownership under the direc-
ton of the government
The Democratic party still believes In the
theory OF Mill, with reservations made neces-
sary by changes In Industrial conditions and
would give private ownership fair trial by
making the laws At present conditions. II eff
forts to this end meet with success socialism
will die a natural DEATH If they meet with
failure socialism Is the solution.
