(St Louis Post-Dispatch.)
More powerful than anything else
in shaping the policies Of the national
republican committee was the conf
dence OF its members that hard times
are at hand. That this feeling is based
upon something more than faith is
shown by the utterances of leading
members of the party. II is an express
sion also of a hope, fervent and poten-
tial.
The country is already in the midst
OF a financial and industrial panic
said Representative Mann, republican
leader of the house, the day before
the committee assembled.
The lever of prosperity has re-
versed." exclaimed Joseph G. Cannon
on his arrival at the capital. Silent
wheels. smokeless stacks and suffer
ing people will speak louder than any
declaration of principles that we can
make" was the argument Of Reed
Smoot. THE lumber industry in my
state is Frustrated" was the testimony
of Congressman Humphrey of Wash
iEgton.
Repeated references we're made at
depression under democratic admins
tration," says one report; smokeless
chimneys. dinnerless pals and crowd
60 soup houses were predicted by most
OF tho speakers.
To rely upon mistakes of the demo-
cratic administration rather than upon
new declarations of principles was
the substance of another. Answering
these who wished to place the party
en- record with reference to progress
end principle. Sherman Granger of
Ohio epitomi5ed the gospel Of calam-
ity and standpatism in the words:
democratic legislation and the con-
ditions we now have in the country
these are your platform
political organization that DELHI
erately elects to become a mere tide
swaiter and beach comber may prop
erly be described as a party of panic.
It's hopes rest upon public misfortune.
All of it's prayers are addressed TO
the god OF mischief. For such party
il is only a step from the wish 10 the
deed. The evil passions that men
secretly cherish develop later into no
torious wrongs that affiict the earth.
When a political organization devotes

itself to panic it becomes an active
agent of panic.
Through this committee of de-
throned bosses we thus learn the state
of mind of monopoly and privilege,
which for the first time in a generation
have been challenged. 1t is more than
vengeful. 1t is rebellious. Its hos
tility is not confined to an administra-
ton or a policy. 1t is aimed at a ma
ton.
There is not republican leader who
does not know that financial disquiet
is universal. If these who wax upon
distress are as familiar with foreign
markets as they are with Wall street,
they know that consols in London
reached the lowest price ever record
ed for them Saturday, and they know
that in every continental capital
there is commercial caution and I'M
certainty. Can free nation tolerate
political party that is in open and
shameful alliance with the piratical
speculative interests that find profit
in disaster which they engineer?
Opposition to the democratic party
is desirable, but not cut-throat Opposi-
ton. Every majority is benefited by
intelligent criticism but not by the
knives of assassins or the bludgeons
of DULLES.

An OPPORTUNITY.

One OF the youngest mayors in Amer
lea is John Purroy Mitchell, mayor OF
Americans greatest city. He was
elected as an independ ent, but he is
democratic not only in his national
partisan alliances, but in his character,
purpose and politics.
Speaking of the duty of the new Of
fetal regime in New York, Mayor
Mitchell recently said:
We were elected. not to do the
work of any party, but TO do the
work of the whole citizenry of
the city. We were elected by the
citi- ems OF New York TO give a
business administration OF the
city's affairs without regard to pol
itics, and that. insofar as / have
the ability and the power, / pro-
pose to do.
He has a big job on his hands. May
or Mitchell viii have a great pack OF
political wolves constantly antagon-
ling him. The powerful. privilege
seeking forces OF big business" will
Tammany tiger will crouch threaten
ingly, ready to spring upon him from
the jungles of boss politics.
But these menacing conditions will
not hurt this young man IL he adheres
10 his platform, epirOmized in the above
quotation. He knows that to com
promise with the cumberland will
ruin him.
Greater honors await this young
man-honors sure TO crown his future
work il he adheres TO his present pur-
pose.
The wrecks OF politics all about him
due to compromise OF well-meaning
men with the powers OF bossism and
privilege warn him th,t he must not
be afraid 10 say No" TO the profess
sional job-seeker and to oppose the
powers OF privilege.
Who knows but that Mitchell may
some day be governor OF New York?

sum which the railroads willingly for
feited for the privilege of disregarding
the law.
The railroads, of course, plead thai
emergencies made il necessary TO work
their employees illegally. Some of the
various excuses offered were:
Taking or running for water, by
cleaning fires, by poor coal. BY bad
water by leaking engines, by coils
ions, by derailments. by track defects
and distractions, by landslides, high
water and fire, by adverse weather
conditions, by congestion of traffic, by
station work, waiting for orders, and
meeting trains, by wire troubles, by
air troubles, by hot boxes, by coupler
and drawbor defects. by sickness
death. and personal injury, and by
miscellaneous causes.
This would all be very fine. and per
haps the commission would be gulled
by these excuses, except for the sig
nificant fact that certain railroads sue
ceeded in obeying the law almost to
the letter. Certain roads managed 10
escape the foods. derailments and sud.
den death that afflicted the offending
roads like a plague of locusts.
The answer is. OF course, that the
offending roads did not wish 10 obey
the law. They took their chances on
drawing fines instead.

But do not get the impression that
