Do you recall those interest
ing cartoons in the Democratic
parpers a year or so ago pictur-
ing a basketful of food products
on top of tall pole and marked,
High cost of living" with the
Democratic party standing be-
meath, an ak, marked, Tariff re-
FORM" in hand about to bring it
down? Well, those cartoons
should be redrawn, with the
basket still up the pole and the
Democratic party missing.

There is undoubtedly graft
somewhere along the line in put
ting through that treaty to pay
Colombia $25,OOO,OOO for the
Panama Canal zone Colombia
may, if the treaty is put through,
get some of the money, but it
will pay big bonus from it to
certain enterprizing individuals
who are interested in the
scheme. We believe with the
Colonel, that it is a blackmailing
job to make US pay for some
thing we already own and paid
for once.

Prohibition apainSt tho n

Prohibition against the manu-
facture and sale of liquor went
into effect in West Virginia on
July 1st. tits reported that the
enforcement of the law has
thrown 5000 men into idleness
and made valueless property
estimated at S6O,OOO,OOO. Prob.
ably these figures are greatly ex-
aggerated, but in a great social
or economic re adjustment there
must always be some who must
suffer that the community might
benefit by the change. The civi
war brought ruin and misery to
thousands, but in the end the
changed conditions it wrought

In order to find a small sur,
plus in the national treasury at
the end of the fiscal year, June
3Oth, the administration hustled
around and collected receipts
from various sources and poured
some thirty million dollars in the
cash box on the last day. With
this addition it managed to show
a small surplus, but it seems to
have been robbing Peter to pay
Paul, for it will have that much
less revenue during the coming
yaar

We see by the press dispatch
es that President Wilson is con-
ferring with the exponents Of
Big Business upon his own in
vitation and for the purpose, it
is intimated, of obtaining infor-
nation from this source as to
the real cause of the business
depression and hard times in
the United States. We may as
sumo from the fact that he is
anxious to talk with Big Busi-
ness on the subject, the Presi-
dent is not unwilling to listen to
advise from this source as to the
remedy to be applied in the I'M
provement of present conditions
in the business and industrial
world. Evidently there is a
change going on in the mind of
the President. 1t was not so
very long ago that the present
administration sought to i'm
press it upon the people that un-
der Democratic rule Big Busi-
ness would be taught it's place;
that it was not even to have a
look in, much less voice in the
conduct of the government. Yet
here we see J. P. Morgan, Jr.,
a true scion of his lately deceas-
ed parent in shaping the course
of affairs at Washington to his
own advantage and profit, the
first man the President has call
ed upon for consultation and ad-
wise in the present extremity.
Others like Mr.. Morgan, it is re-
ported, are soon to have the will
ing ear of Mr.. Wilson. 1t will
now be interesting to observe
what the Democratic papers will
make of this incident. Had it
occurred under Republican pres.
ldent they would be denouncing
it as weak kneed backdown to
the interests Of Big Business.
Another conclusion this consul.
tation brings US to is, that Pres
ident Wilson has abandoned the
idea lie recently held forth, to
the effect that the present busi-
ness depression and hard times
were psychological" that there
was no real reason for hard
times and that there really were
none. We have no information
as to what Mr.. Morgan said to
Mr.. Wilson, but we are ready to
believe that he has seen plenty
of materialism in the conditions
that confront the country, and
that he limited they could be i'm.
proved by less severity to Big
Business, and that Congress

An Alabama negro has

An Alabama negro has just
been pardoned from the peniten-
tiary after serving twenty years
of a ffty-years' sentence for
stealing so cents from another
negro. This is sample of the
southern white mans idea of
justice where it relates to his
colored brother. If the facts
were known they would doubt
less show that this colored citi-
zen never stole the said 80 cents,
but that he was guilty of voting
the Republican ticket in the
state of Alabama.

We have heard much in our day
of the able craftsmanship of
Senator William J. Stone of Mis-

claim presented with specitica-
tions that would verify it. The
Senator's claim upon the people
because of any great service in
their behalf is pure bunk. Stone
never looks out for anybody but

battle with the liquor traffic, the
few whose material interests lie
in the continuance of the evil

the fact that society cannot read

The assassination OF the Grown

self clashing with political des-
potism. Servia having just
wrested itself free from the
Turk now finds itself gobbled up
by Austria. Had Austria been
content to keep hands off of Ser
via Archduke Francois Ferdi-
nand and his wife would still be
alive and both Austria and Ser
via happier. The repeated at
tempts upon the life of the Rus
sain Car is the price he pays to
the absolutism of his authority.
These attemps shock US because
they are against the life of a
ruler, yet we regard with equan-
unity the fact that this ruler has
sent hundreds of his politicalfoes
to immediate death and thous-
ands of them to living deaths in
the mines of Siberia. If the
President of the United States
were to undertake to dispose of
all who opposed him politically
in like manner, there would be a
bomb b-throwing "anarchist' at
his heels every minute of the
day.
