AWFUL TOLL OF LIVES AND SHIPS
ON LAKES is LARGELY UNNECESSARY

The loss Of life and the loss of
ships in Sundays storm were terrific.
The full toll may never be known.
This thing Is happening year after
year, and we are beginning to look at
it out of habit as II it is necessary to
make such costly sacrifice of men
to maintain the commerce Of the
Great Lakes.
But is it necessary? Old time lake
captains declare the slaughter of
lives Is largely unnecessary. They
say that the masters of the big ships
plying the Great Lakes nowadays
are mere figureheads. The real mar
iners are comfortably located In the
steamship offices, who are moved
neither by weather forecasts nor

I in the world to run a boat from an
office desk; that is for everybody but

| The Steel Trust captains, it is said,
are authorized to use their own judg-
? ment in leaving port If advised by
i the government weather bureau Of an
approaching storm the trust puts it
up to the captain as to whether or

| seems fair, but it is not all. If he
! does not make time with his ship the
trust officials want to know the rea-
son why. Very frequently one cap
tain leaves port in spite of the ad-
vice given by the weather bureau. The

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works of Popular
Writer Unearthed in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.

1t is learned that a number of new
and relatively important manuscripts
of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa. and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding of an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano In action. supposedly either the
famed crater of Savaii or the pit of
kilauea in Hawaii; piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, a blank
verse relation of a well-known legend
of Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
of effort

TO REGULATE BIG BUSINESS
Senator Bristow Introduces a eiii
Providing for Industrial Commits
sion of Seven Members.

Washington--Ffrst and most sweep
ing of the series of bills prepared by
the national legislative committee of
the Progressive party as embodying
the doctrine of its faith, is a measure
introduced by Senator Bristow fer
regulation of big business by an indus
trial commission of seven members
This commission will &c empowered
to deal with large corporations doing
an interstate business as the Inter
state Commerce Commission deals
with railroad and other trans portation
service.
1t would have authority over all per-
sons or corporations doing an inter-
sac business of five million dollars an
nually to investigate their financial
condition, business operations and
management and require all to bring
their capital stock and Indebtedness
down to not more than 10 per cent
more than the fair and reasonable
value of property on hand.
Three years are allowed as the time
in which the water shall thus be
squeezed out of American industries.

Work Cut Out for Wilson.

The presidents review of his work
In behalf of the consular and diplo-
matte efficiency of the United States
is altogether convincing. He has con-
scientiously observed the principles
of the merit system and has set an ex-
ample which any future president will
find it hazardous to ignore Mr.. Taft
has done this work wholly by means
of executive orders and without the
support of the legislative enactment
He again recommends that the re-
forms he has wrought be made perma-
nent by congress.
Probably no other president has
eQualed Mr. Taft's achievement in this
line. 1t will be President Wilson's
task to secure through legislation the
assured stability of the structure
which has been raised.-Cleveland

OLD METHOD ADOPTED
BUSINESS INTERESTS TO ADVISE
ON TARIFF REVISION
Democrats Complain Only Of the Uss
Made by Republicans of the In
formation They Gathered
In Same Way.

The plan adopted insures the revf
sion of the Payne law by the old meth
cd of preparation. Business interests
are to have their day in committee
All affected are to$ be permitted to
draw near and tell their side of the
story. Gone is the tariff board. Re
jected Is the suggestion of a tariff
commission. Remote is the prospect
of a so-called scientific tariff law
Dreams, like dogs, have their day
Well. 9Th sides agreed The vote
on the plan in committee was unani-
nous. What was proposed already
had Republican sanction The Payne
law had been prepared in just that
manner, and SO what the Republicans
had done when in authority they could
not afford to oppose when proposed
by the Democrats after the turning of
che tables at the polls
The Payne law, it is true, failed to
satisfy the country. But that was not
due to any charge that the Republi-
cans had proceeded in the dark; that
they had not sufficiently informed
themselves on the subject of business
conditions. cost Of production and
other cognate matters
The Democrats complained not of
the fnsufficiency of the information of
the Republicans. but of the use made
of it. With the same information
they would have rearranged schedules
and changed rates-would have low
cred the tariff all along the lines.
Their chance is coming. The hear
ings appointed should bring every
thing sought by the ways and means
committee up to date, and answer as
in, he in hon
the committees bill is taken up for
action.
The senate will then have its in
nings. 1t is altogether likely that such
interests as may be dissatisfied with
the action of the house will appeal to
the senate, SO to say, and ask further
hearings before the finance committee
of that body. And this will give to
the senate debate when 1t opens in
the chamber an Importance all its
own. Amendments will be in order.
and the rules will admit of wide and
protracted discussion And after the
senate has finished, the Underwood
bill may show as many changes as
the Wilson bill did in 1894 after Mr..
German had paid his protection ad-
dresses to 1t.
But the point of moment now Is that
the first step toward the redemption
of the tariff plank of the Baltimore
platform has been taken, and others
will shortly follow. If business is
anxious as to the general result. the
anxiety will not be protracted. Reck-
oning from April, six or seven months
at the outside should see a new tariff
bill laid on Mr.. Wilson's table for his
signature. and the supreme test made
of his tariff views

Mr.. Wilson's Glbhet.

A gibbet for man who would start
a panic? No. Governor Wilson. A
gibbet, literal or metaphorical, is en-
tirely inadequate. If the president
elect is a statesman he will do some
thing better than tie hangman's
moo q. The country requires not
punishment of the starter of panics
so much as prevention of the starting
of panics. If Governor Wilson really
believes that there Is danger of one
mans starting a panic he owes 1t to
the American people to devote his ad-
ministration not to gibbet building
but to bringing about changes in the
law or its administration which will
take away from one man that vast
power over the prosperity of the en-
tire people. But II Governor Wilson
does not really believe that there is
danger of one mans deliberately caus-
ing a panic he had better stop sug-
costing that he does. Bryan is prob
lem to the president-elect. But he
cannot solve that problem with any
credit to himself or any advantage to
the country by trying to outbid the
Nebraskan agitator--N. Y. Tribune.

Social Center plan Works.

The social center plan needs little
development in Ford County. Eulalia
Nevine, county superintendent. says
that seventeen of the sixty-five rural
school buildings are used as social and
religious centers for the community.
As there are only four towns in the
county, Dodge, Spearville, Bucklin and
Ford, being in the south and east part,
1t leaves much territory where the
farmers must utilize the school build
fngs or go without services The
literary societies, which furnish the
social life for the young people on the
farms. flourish in each of the districts.
Rotations songs and debates COM
prise the programs. Each of the COM
munities maintain Sunday school and
have preaching, either every Sunday
or on alternate Sundays. Dodge City
has voted $4,000 bonds for a new high
school. one feature of which will be a
large auditorium for all meetings, as
