credit him and weaken his influence
There's Champ Clark, who is such
a poor loser that he has had a crouch
on ever since he lost the presidential
nomination at Baltimore.
Then there is Oscar Underwood
another disappointed presidential
candidate, of natural reactionary
leanings. and who is a Democrat
principally because he lives in the
South.
Next comes Willie Noodles Hearst
journalistic tool of Big Business and
chronic candidate for president and
prestige. Hearst backed Champ
Clark for the presidential nomination
and has never forgiven Wilson and
Bryan for giving him and his gang
good licking at Baltimore.
Last but not least is Charley Muir
ply, boss of Tammany Hall, and pal
of Ryan, Belmont and other plutes
who got a trimming at that same
convention.
Fitzgerald of New York might be
mentioned, but he stands for what
Murphy stands for, and has been the
Tammany leader of the rankly reac-
tional element of the Democratic
party in the lower house of cons
gress.
Outside of this bunch, Wilson ap~

try back of him.

Wilson and the H.-H.-If the
Hearst-Harrison Democracy expects
to get anywhere it had better get
busy and get its democracy on
straight
Hearst is busy night and day try
ing to carve his name in President
Wilson's back and rip the Democratic
party from stem to gudgeon, A to
lizard and Soda to Hook.
In the meantime, Harrison is sup
posed to be perfectly good Demo-
crat, entirely regular and standing

cows come home.
1t would seem that that kind of
pulling both ways from the H.-H
hyphen would result. in something

Courts Have Too Much Power
One thing the matter with the land of
the free just now is that courts have
hogged too much power.
We have had too much govern
ment by judges, and kept judges at
that.
! The attempt right here in Chicago
to get more power for the Municipal
Court is one of the rottenest things
rotten politics has ever tried in this
city of rotten politics.
The cheapest commodity in Chi
cago is human life. Now it is pro-
posed to make human liberty even
cheaper than that.
For their own protection the peo-
pie should vote down any scheme to
grant additional power to already
too-powerful courts.
If the proposed act becomes a law
any individual, the states attorney
or the attorney general can put any
other individual on trial on any
charge except murder and treason by
merely filing an information.

LINING Up PUBLIC UTILITIES.

The Public Utilities Commission OF
Missouri has been proving its useful
ness in Missouri during the past year.
One of its biggest problems now is to
standardize the gas and water in the
state.
II has been almost impossible for
the citizens of Missouri-or in fact
any State-to force gas companies to
give good service The rates are too
high in some places and the quality
of gas is always complaint Investi-
cations have shown that there is no
uniformity to the rates and service in
the different cities. The conditions
are not so much different that there
should not be a close similarity in
rates and service. Perhaps it is inef-
iciency rather than unfair business
policies: in either case the commission
should be able to untangle the difficult
ties.
Gas can cause much Inconvenience
and arouse much complaint. but it
can not do the harm that bad water
can. Missouri may as well lead in
the prevention of spread of disease
by public water systems. There are
some cities i'm Missouri which have
very distasteful water supphes-even
if not unhealthful Perhaps the COM
mission will be able to standardize the
systems enough to force concessions to
the people from some of the small .
water mOnOpolies which have been
serving the people so poorly during the
last decade.

Eugenics Found Wanting.

Editor the Missourian:-A Wiscon-
sin circuit judge recently pronounced
the Wisconsin eugenics law regulating
the issuance of marriage license un-
constitutional. He SAD also that il
conflicts with religious liberty in tend
ing to halt marriages.
Good for this judge who can see far
enough into the future to foreteU that
such a law will before long decrease
the population. Such law would
be as disastrous as race suicide until
the eugenics spOnsore could get wives

Smallpox and Vaccination.

Editor the Missourian:- Between
three and four hundred mail clerks
who have runs into Kansas City will
be vaccinated Immediately by order of
the chief clerk. John W. Naylor. The
order comes at this time on account
of the prevalence of smallpox in this
section of the country. One mail clerk
in Kansas City already has taken the
disease.
There is lesson for Columbians in
this order. As yet this year we have
no smallpox: but who can tell but
what at any time there may be a num-
ber of cases? Now is the time to
practice prevention. With all the IA
cilities available here there is no rea
son that everyone should not be vac
cinated against the disease. T.

CLOSER TO THE CAPITOL,

In the early days when the pOpula-
ton of the United States first began to
spread across the mountains from the
Atlantic seabOard. the complaint was
made that the capitol of the Nation was
going to be in one corner of the terri
tory instead of in the center where the
capitol of any country properly be-
longed. The capitol remained where it
was, however. and the complaint was
forgotten.
If the pioneers of those early days
could have foreseen the travel record
of Secretary of State Bryan. who has
travelled 31.SOO miles in seventy-one
days of the first year of his admins
tration, they probably would not have
been so worried about the rest of the
country's losing touch with the capi-
tol City. Such record brings one of
the highest officials of the Nation into
personal communication with more
people and more communities than
could have been hoped for with a CEN
trally located capitol but with the
more formal ideas of the early times,

The attitude of the Ford company in
dividing its profits among its en-
ployes is certainly preferable to that
of those corporations which believe
they are entitled to all the profits they
can get.
Il regard the movement to raise
wages more important than the move

James CouZens, treasurer of the
