COOPERATING WITH WILSON.


(From the New York Worldly
The most notable utterance on be-
half Of Big Business in many day
Is that Of William L.. Saunders. Presi-
lent Of the new International Har-
vester company. He accepts the New
Jersey Antitrust bills prepared I'M
der the supervision of Gov. Wilson
as ss'the seven commandments Of in
6ustry, commerce and finance. He
not only accepts them but approves of
them. He believes that the princi-
pies which they embody will bring
peace, justice and prosperity to the
people.
An expression OF this kind from
such a source would be of the first
importance in any case, but it gains
| INCONSISTENCIES from the fact that it
is seemingly in direct response to
Gov. Wilson's recent appeal to bust
ness men for cooperation. So FAR
as we are informed, it is the first
reply. We hope and befieve it Will
not be the last.
| Not since Abraham Lincoln in MS
first inaugural addressed himself 70
those who were about to take arms
against the Republic has man des-
| ignated for the Chief Mag1stracy
used palmer, simpler or more solemn
words OF entreaty and warming than
those spoken by Gov. Wilson to busl-
ness men two weeks ago. Ihey are
certain to become memorable.
Remarking that he and his party
were pledged to remove monopoly
and privilege from our laws ana 70
take business out Of government and
government out of business, but that
a prerequisite was obedience to law
he said:
II must take counsel with men who
understand business, but | dare not
take counsel with them unless bney
intend the same things that lntend,
dare not. l am under bonds to the
people of the United States. The
man who does not hold their lnteres.
dearer than his own ! cannot adnlt
into my counsel. ...... am .trus,
tee for the prosperity Of the United
States in council, and the councll that
does not include you Is lmperIetc'
councils council which Will mis-
lead. Won't you come in!
Wise men will see more tha IN, an
invitation in these sentences. iheie
! IS also an admonition. Big Business
can come with clean hands into coun-
Gil or it can come into court, as y
shall elect.

SPECIAL WASHINGTON coRREs-
PONpENCE.

By Clyde H. Tavvener, Special wash
ington Correspondent.
/ President Taft, in his New York
Reorganization speech, declared IN
fine sarcasm that those dissatisfied
with his administration demand "an
ideal state in which the poor and OPP
pressed are to acquire property and
cease suffering.
This and similar statements OF the
President, indicate why his admin
istration was unpopular. He was pre-
JUDGED against any kind of reform.
His is the same view that is held by
Morgan and Rockefeller and the 9TH
er money kings who have made their
millions as result of federal laws
which gave them monopolies of Amerl-
cam markets with power to charge
the people for trust products any
price that their greed dictated.
Morgan and Rockefeller also be
1ieye that all who are not satisfied
with the old conditions-the bribery
Of United States Senators by the OH
rust. the failure to send guilty trus
magnates to Jail as the poor are Sent
TO Jail when they violate the law, the
infamous Payne-Aldrich tariff laws
which permit the big Industrial COM
binations to be ever boosting prices
and increasing the cost Of living
Morgan and Rockefeller and Taft be-
lieye that all who complain OF these
things expect and demand "an idea!
state in which the poor and oppressed
are to acquire property and cease SUI
fering."
This is not true It is ridiculous
to assert that because the people de-
mand tariff revision to reduce the
cost of living, that they expect or
demand IAN ideal state"
In asking for an income tax which
viii compel the rich to bear a fair
proportion Of the burden Of taxation,
which they are not now doing;
In requesting the election Of United
States Senators by the direct vote
of the people, to prevent their cleo
lion by bribery;
A. IN demanding enforcement Of the
criminal provision OF the Sherman anu
trust law. which is not now being en-
forced by an attorney general VINO
was formerly sugar-trust lawyer,
In desiring legislation, safeguarding
legitimate business from the puDlic
evils Of Safeguarding; Z,
In expecting effective regulation OF
child labor, an employers liability
law and protection of women wage
earners;
In demanding and expecting
these things the public is not, as
President Taft says, and as MORGAN
and Rockefeller pretend to believe
either demanding or expecting an
ideal state in which the poor and OPP
pressed are to acquire property;
i. The people are simply asking Tor
a square deal at the hands of those
public servants" they have sent to
Washington to represent them

Especial Correspondence.)

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 2S.-When the
history of Michigan's forty-seventh
legislature shall have been written, its
achievements will be characterized as
a system of progressive reformation,
If the majority of measures already
introduced are transcribed in the stat
ute books of the state. This legisla-
ture will be famous for several things
that are entitled to recognition. One
of these is the enterprise with which

bills have been thus early cast into
the mill for grinding After the wheat
shall have been winnowed from the
chaff, however, there will be an at
tractive outlook for the waste paper
dealer.
The "Purity" Legislature.
Another thing which has already
brought the state into national promi-
nence this year is the multiplicity of
purity" measures introduced, the eff
feet being to suggest the title of the
purity legislature. If the measures
calculated to establish this sweeping
system of reforms become laws the
title will have been justly earned and
the laurels may be worn with honor
and credit.
IF the desires of senators and rep
resentatives who seek to correct ex-
listing evils are realized Michigan will
stand forth as shining example to
other states still hesitating in their
purposes to establish real reforms that
spread from the political horizon to
the family fireside.
Should even a small number Of
drastic measures pass, Michigan will
have purer marriages, purer boots and
shoes, purer sausage, coffee, sugar,
rice and other articles Of household
consumption and wearing apparel:
and, more remarkable than all. a
purer political atmosphere that would
seem to entirely obliterate party dis
agreements and make politics a mat
ter of moral and intellectual accom-
plishment based upon sound business
principles.
Whether this latter proposition be-
comes a fact, however, is conjectural,
although the proposed system CT
choosing party state central commit
tees seems to lend an initiative ele-
ment to the ends described.
Abolish State Land Office.
Attorney General Fellows, at the in.
stance of State Land Commissioners
Carton, is drafting a bill. the intent
OF which is to abolish the state land
department, to which the present
commissioner was elected last Novem-
Der. Commissioner Carton would
have all records turned over to the
public domain commission.
This department was created 6S
years ago, and Mr.. Carton maintains
that 1t has accomplished the work for
which II was created. He says that
as there are no more state lands to
sell, the department is not needed in
its present form. The public domain
commission, he declares, is the proper
body to handle the matters now In
charge OF the land department
State Central Committee.
A radical change in the system OF
naming members of the state central
committees, now provided for by con.
ventions. Is one which Is viewed with
wholesome respect and regarded In
this era Of proposed reform as o!
paramount Importance.

IS SORE THROAT COMMON?

You may have an idea that there s less sore throat in this community now than formerly You are both right and wrong There are just as many cases of sore throat as ever. There is very much less suffering from sore throat, however, and this beneficial result has been brought about in no small measure by ReXaQ Throat Garele.
 Rexal Throat Gargle is the remedy that we invariably recommend in ev- ern instance in which we are asked for something for the relief of sore throat We have yet to learn of an in- stance in which it did not help toward prompt and satisfactory recovery.
 The next time you have a sore throat-or have a friend who does you cannot do yourself or your friend any greater favor than to use--or rec ommend the use of-ReSall Throat Gargle. More than that the privilege is always extended of using it en- tirely at our risk, because if it does not relieve. the money paid for it will; be refunded without question.
