The Passing Of The Men In Blue.

For the second time. and last
time, the Iowa veterans of the
Civil War passed in review before
some ut their old commanders
ut DpS NlDinpS last week. IN the
nei1hhnrhund of ten Thousand
Old soldiers attended the reunion.
Three Of them were veterans of
the Mexican war. We stood for
an hour as they marched by.
The var was fought by young
men. mostly under twenty years.

marched last week are younger
than this. Many are older. They
are fast ripeniug for the harvest.
The Silrr,,,s nGtcS of the fife and
drum kindied the eye and quick
ened the pulse for the moment,
but the step is growing feeble
The shoulders are less erect.
There will be few more reunions
and feWor still will be there. In
but a short time they will be
cuun.nd by hundreds instead of
by thousands. Then by tens
And all too soon we will rever-
emily lay away the lone survivor

sons and grandsoEs, filled with
the same love of country, are
ready to take up the fight for the
same great principles. The
struggle may be Of a different
sort: other weapons will be used;
but the battles will be Waged in

determination, and with the same

In s'icing up those big, juicy
stock dividend melons the mon
opolistic corporations are not
capitalizing their business, they
capitalizing the necessities of the
people, and this is one of the
biggest, and, we hasten to add,
reprehensible causes of the high
cost of living. The Standard
Oil Co. declares annual dividends
of 40 or 50 per cent. and in some
years they have been as high as
100 per cent. Thus having Just
cut dividend melon of $4,000,
900 and added that much to it's
capitalization, the consumers of
oil will be privately taxed any
where from twenty to thirty mil
lion dollars a year to pay the
dividends upon this increased
capitalization-the capitalization
of their necessity. And this is
but single instance. this spe-
cies of robbery being common
to all the big industrial and
transportation corporations. The
amount runs into billions and is
growing larger every year. How

One day last week Archbishop
GlennOn of the ST. Louis Cathol-
ic diocese took occasion to com
ment upon the probability Of
a great class war in this country,
which he predicted would be
more horrible than the civil war
of fifty year ago. That war was
brought on by capitalism to
maintain black slavery; the class
war. when it comes. will be in
stituted by capitalism to main
tain the white slavery that mod
ern industrial conditions are
surely driving the working
classes into. All labor today,
outside of that Of the small
farmer, who is still in measure
independents is wholly dependent
upon capitalism for the employ
ment that means subsistence
and life for the workingman and
his family; and, as the recent
occurances in the West Virginia
coal mines and similar Incidents
portend, capitalism is not far
from the point where it VIII un-
dertake to drive labor to its task
at the muzzle of gun. AS the
Archbishop said, many men who
are capable thinkers foresee this
condition and also the revolt it is
sure to bring about Only the
public ownership of the central
lied industries and the agencies
of distribution will avert white
slavery, but it is hardly proba
bic that capitalism will consent
peaceable to such Il change any
more than it consented Deacea-
bly, to relinquishing the right to
drive the black slaves.

paper.

It would seem that in making
exceptions in the application Of
the Missouri two-cent passenger
rate law, which it has just suS-
tanned, the Z. S. Supreme Court
has left an opening through
which the railroads may contin-
ue to fight against the enforce
ment of the law. 1t might be
that in making its discrim!na-
zion in favor of the weaker roads
the Court shows consideration,
but it is hardly good law. If
the railroads do not seize upon
this defect in the ruling it will
be only because they will be
content with the two-cent rate.

What Federal Court InterIer-
ence Has Cost.

IN iHDi the Missouri LeGISla-
ture passed laws reducing the
passenger rates on some of the
railroads Of this state from three
to two cents q mile.
The same legislature reduced
freight rates on the main lines of
the same railroads.
Those laws passed in 1907 are
constitutional and valid. but it
has taken six years to prove
them so by an edict OF the Su-
premc Court Of the United States
Tie Supreme Court says that
they are valid and constitutions
al now. and holds that they have
been equally constitutional! since
the 'lAE of their enactment.
But those laws have been held
up for six years because they
did not meet the approval of a
minor federal Judge out in Iowa.
