statement:
1T IS hardly possible for one who has
enjoyed Mr.. Morgans intimate friendship
and who has been closely associated with
him in various public undertakings OF an
educational or philanthropic character to
speak Of him without a sense OF deep sor-
row and loss
Mr. Morgan was a really great person

gained wealth and wide influence because
he first gained confidence. Men trusted
his integrity. They trusted mis- patriotism
and they trusted his judgment. 80 statute

Just see how the law of supply and
demand works out. Sept 1, the big
milk company which dominates the
local market raised its prices cent a
quart.
People showed their resentment by
buying milk in smaller quantities. They
took pints instead of quarts. Thus
there was an unprecedented demand
for pints.
Now following the law of supply and
demand. the price OF pints has been
increased i cent
In following out this entirely logical
and unavoidable application Of great
economic principle, consumers are not
expected to inquire how the demand
for pints was created nor to bubble
over the fact that because they OBJ
jected to IA per cent Increase in the
price of quarts they are now sub
jected to an increase of 25 per cent
In the price of pints.
And this is in city where the milk
wholesalers pay the producers less
for their milk than in nine out of ten
cities in the country.

the main question. does 81 Perhaps
the matter Of party affiliation had it,
effect upon the appointivs powers but
at that the real and vital point in the
business ID a. II ought to be the I'M
provemeht Of the public service. If a
postmaster Is drawing pay for his full
services the government that pays this
should require full service and when
he attempts to devote half his time to
another and private business he should
be offered his choice between the two.
And this seems applicable to other Of
fees under the government, revenue
colectorships and the like And it is or
at least should not be sufficient con-
| sideration one way or another that the
official is republican, democrat, Meth
odist or Mohammedan.
1t is policy very much needed, that
policy of the president to insist on the
best Of a public servant for the wages
paid. 1t is simple common sense and
business applied to public affairs.
There is scarcely a man in public en-
ploy today who is not drawing more
money than he could demand privately
anywhere. Why shouldn't he give q
fair days work for the biggest days
wage he ever enjoyed? And if he re-
fuses to render it why shouldn't he be
lifted out OF the way to let some one
run who can and wla is willing to
run?
General sentiment is in favor Of
business administration of public Of
public and the public money as dis
tinct from private purses, to set up a
code of ethics Of public service that
private and individual obligation would
scorn. AS we have two standards of
morality for the sexes so we have es-
tablished two standards of honesty one
of which applies to individual and the
other to public obligations.
Let us welcome the removal of a
postmaster or any other official who
insists on making his employment sec
ondary TO private business and the
public service for which he is paid sub
sidiary to individual profit. And let
us not ay to arms on account Of his
political affiliations when such a man
gets his dismissal.

BEEF STEAK STILL HIGH.


We are under the democratic tarin
now. Did your beef steak cost you
any less today" questions the Gin
ton Herald. Time was when the Gin
ton mans question sufficed also as AT
answer, but neither is effective now.
The party the Clinton paper repre-
sents has been arguing that when the
tariff was taken off of livestock the
farmers of the United States would be
ruined. Now that they are not bank
rupted the Herald turns away from
them and bids for the factory hand.
The tariff reformers have always
maintained that tariff on farm pro-
ducts did not help the farmer but were
put on to lu1l him into insensibility of
the fact that tariffs on the things he
bought oppressed him.
The manufacturers of woolens and
cotton goods. Of steel. sugar and other
things the farmer has to buy, have al
ready reduced their prices. The farm
ers get free" fence wire, boots and
shoes, harness leather. nails, farm i'm :
plements. lumber. hemp. burlap. steel
rails and soft coal to manufacture
those things.
Farmers will get benefit from such
reductions and be quite Indifferent as
to whether the Clinton man has to pay
the same old price for his beef steak.

4 mosr EMBARRASSING NEleHBoa.

The United States is in a position
where neither fishing nor cutting bait
seems advisable but there something
must be done. Mexico is q trouble
some neighbor She needs straighten-
ing ont, but to take over the Mexican
election would be intervention which
would call for soldiers before it were
accomplished. The situation is diff
ferent than that OF Cuba. Cuba was
under obligations to u.s. anxious to
to American influence. defiant of inter-
vention. Foreign governments are
pushing for settlement of the Mexican
trouble and Germany at least seems to
for interference. The Monroe doctrine
has Its sign up after the fashion OF
farmers who warn against poaching.
And there we are fearful of actual
Intervention and its certain involve
ment Of force, anxious over the pos
sibilities OF foreign interference and
with q disturbance on hand that re-
fuses to be auelled by advice, admonl-
ton or argument.
1t seems TO be up to congress. Evil
IDENTIFY President Wilson has gone as
far as he desires to go and as far as
the country desires he should go. So
far as he has gone he has accomplished
small results. The difficulty magnities
rather than diminishes.
What are We to do in the Mexican
matter? There Is very general sem
timent against armed intervention
which would bring about a condition
very similar to that we bought and
inherited in the Philippines. This is
not a warlike nation except when it is
assailed. But the Monroe doctrine still
stands as the policy Of the United
States, foreign nations resent it and
desire it's embarrassment and with it
exists inevitable a choice between be-
ing the real policeman of the western
hemisphere and keeping the peace or
letting some one else do it. Mexico is
full of Germans and Germany seems
inclined to make ca pital of the fact
Germany desires territorial expansion
and Mexico offers opportunity.
What are we going to do about it?
1t is becoming harder every year to
maintain the policeman attitude and
stay around the corner while the gang
light is in progress.

A MILESTONE ABOUT HIS NECK,

The newspapers of the Seventh are
somewhat exercised over the congress
sional situation. Mr.. Dowell is an
avowed candidate. Mr.. Prouty pres
ent incumbent, is reported as retiring.
Mr.. Prouty has been an efficient con-
gresham. There isn't much doubt
that he would be freely given another
term by the voters We're he to ask for
1t. Suspicion runs therefore, thru the
Seventh that Messrs Dowell and
Prouty had an arrangement whereby
The one was to retire out Of the other
way when the term was finished. And
this arrangement if any such existed,
does not please in the Seventh.
Criticism is not directed against the
capacities or faithfulness or public
utility of either Mr.. Prouty or Mr..
Dowen. Each is approved personally
and as of public usefulness by a very
considerable number of Seventh dis
trict voters. But the district arouses
Itself over the suggestion and sus-
picion that private arrangement OF
succession may have been applied te

Seventh district.
