A DecQdentAn

Apparently, it is high time that the Bull MOOsers
were getting out an injunction to keep other political
parties from stealing their sacred issues. From the
trend of recent events, it now seems only a matter
of weeks until those who stood at Armageddon will
not have a single principle that they can call their
very own. One after another of the fads and the.
cries promulgated by the boilers in Chicago have
been taken up and exploited by others, and the result
is an almost pathetic poverty of troubles exclusively
Progressive. At the Bull Moose luncheon in Emporia,
the other day, the resolutions adopted presented a
tattered and disconsolate appearance.
The Bull Moosers demanded revision Of the tariff,
schedule by schedule, by a scientific commission.
This was earnestly advocated by Mr.. Taft when he
was president, and was afterward indodrsed by Pres
ident Wilson. The Bull Moosers denouncedd the
secret caucus, but they can never denounce this in
tquitous system Of party dictation more strongly than
the Republicans have denounced it and are denounc-
ing it every day. Even many Democrats condemn
it. The Bull Moosers demanded an extension of the
civil service system; but the Republicans have been
doing that for years, and it is in no sense a new
issue. The Bull Moosers advocated national prohibi.
ton, but they are twenty years late on that issue;
the Prohibition party has been hammering along
that line since the early SOS. The demand for wdm-
an suffrage is not exclusively the issue of the Pro.
gressives, as many conventions of both Republicans
and Democrats have taken the same stand. These
things exhausted the list. 1t was, taken all in all,
9 poor showing for those who have pointed with
fingers of terror at the cataclysmic crisis toward
which this nation is drifting.
Alas for the memory of those old.time champion
"resolutors' who once made Kansas luminous to the
eyes OF the Fworld. In the Populist days even the
amateur could do better than the Bull Moosers did
at Emporia. Some of the Populist resolutions fairly
scared the heavens with blistering %verbiage. In those
days the people got ahearing in numberless resO.
lutions that seethed and pulsated with the recital Of
human wrongs. But at Emporia all that the Bull
Moosers could do was to make trite and familiar de-
mands and utter denunciations that already have
been worn threadbare in the platforms of other par
ties. 1t was tame and disappointing. Where are the
old-time warriors? Where is "the spirit of '7e?"-

The Moran "WilhdrQwdLs"

While the announcement that J. r. Morgan & Co.
nave retired from the directorates Of thirty of the
largest corporations in this country is a gratifying
sign of progress toward freedom of business from the
shackles of concentrated financial power, it is not
to be regarded as a conclusive and sufficient step.
Indeed, it does not actually signify the REIMBURSEMENT
by the Morgan firm of real control over those cor.
porations, SO far as that firm has exercised such
control. In his statement explanatory of the change
mr.. Morgan, present head of the firm, says that the
move is for the purpose of relieving the company of
directorate responsibilities which have borne heavilS
upon 1t and occupied much time. He incidentally
mentions the development of a public sentiment in
regard to directorslips, which Seems now to war
rant US in seeking to resign from some of these con.
nectlons.' And IT is in view Of that sentiment that
MI Morgan believes that " we shall be in a better
position to serve such properties and their security
holders if we are not directors" ...
Inc 1nterlocking directorate. system is undeniably
one OF the most serious Of the economic ellis from
winch the country is suffering. Much of the trust
trouble of the past two decades has been the result
OF the close association of large numbers of corpora
lions through a single element. That element was,
IN the public mind, the J. p. Morgan Banking CON-
z pany Of New York. MI. Morgan, the elder, was tile
man who created or promoted, or, at the least, financ-
ea most OF the important trusts. 1t was at one time
" oaSA"s tuaI II was always necessary, in floating a
new industrial combination, to see Morgan" His
approval meant success, his disapproval, probably
failure. This long history of trust promotion must be
borne IN mind in measuring the present value of the
new move whereby his son and his associates retire
personally from directorates of some of the largest
corporations. '"".
In effect, it matters but little whether a dominat:
Ing influence is exercised directly through the actual
presence on boards of directors of individuals prepre-
sentative OF the most powerful banking institution
or indirectly, through money control. 1t is notewor-
thy that no mention is made of the sale of any
shares of stocks or bonds. Mr.. Morgan's statement
distinctly promises that there is to be a continued
exercise Of influence for the benefit OF the sharehold-
ers. 1t is not designed to %relinquish any power, and
the presumption is that the boards of directors IN
the corporations from which representatives of the

LunchinQS Of19l3

At this time, when everybody is looking around
for worthy things to commend, the statistics of lynch
ings for, 1913 afford cause for at least negative graf
iication. 1t is noteworthy, for instance, that the
past year witnessed fewer displays Of mob violence
than ever before. though the aggregate Of ~forty-four
is d~eporably large. This total is six fewer than for
the previous year. The country may also ~"congratu-
late it's mobs on the forbearance which prevented
their burning any of their victims at the stake anu
also for refraining from killing women: -
In. other respects the figures are more or less
conventional All but one of the victims We're ne.
groes and all but two ~lynchings occurred in the South.
In North Dakota one white man was lynched for
murder and in Montana a negro was lynched for the
same reason. There were no bona fde race riots
precipitated during the year as a result of crimes
by negroes, though two black boys were killed in
Mississippi while resisting arrest after killing a mum
Der Of persons.
Mississippi and Georgia have the nalign honor
of leading the %lynching role, with eight each; Texas
came next, with six, and Florida followed, with four.
Nineteen of the victims of the year were accused of
the murder OF white men and four killed white girls
Or women. There were nine cases of "the usual
cause and four of an allied character. A curious
exception to the general rule occurred in Drew, Miss,
where a negro was lynched by members of his own
race after killing two or three other negroes.
All this does not make pleasing new year reading,
but from certain viewpoints there is found in it rea.
son for qualification. The decrease in the exhibitions
Of mob violence is ascribed to the increasing deter
minatfon with which governors, slerifs, and other
authorities in the South are demanding that tie law
be allowed to take its course and visit legal punish
ment upon all found guilty. A striking instance Of
this is furnished by the sheriff OF Spartansburg, S. e.,
where, despite the vicious example of Governor
Blease, a negro was saved from a mob. He was
later tried by a white jury and acquitted, notwith-
standing the fact that lie was accused OF assault.
This INCIDENT serves at least to suggest that u fatal
mistake" is made in some Instances other than that
Of reverting to primeval passions. When a negro can
be acquitted of assault by a jury of South Carolina
whites, the last word has been said in behalf of fair
ness, justice and permitting the law to take. the place
OF mobs. 80
The new year can hold out no more encouraging
prospect than this increase in the insistence that all
offenders be given the benefit of the law; when con.
victed, punished with due legal severity; and, when
found innocent, freed. There can be only a tiimsy
pretcnsc of justice or popular government when I'm.
aridleda passions and vicious racial p~rejudices sup
rIaHt~the ordained procedure OF the law. .

New York, Jan. S.-Dr. Katherine
iB.. Davis, the first woman member or
Ia. mayors cabinet in New York City's
history, has taken up her dduties.
| One of the first things DR.. Davis
made plain upon assuming her new
duties wasr&the fact that she expect
ed no extra favors because of her
sex. She said she expected to be
considered in the same light as any
other city official and wanted no
praise heaped upon her head just be-
cause the work of her Office happen
ed to be managed successfully by a
woman. -
"Of course, l believe in woman SUI
frage," she saidd. THAT women
should have a voice in the govern
ment seems to me such a self-evident
fact that | see no sue in arguing
about it. However, l "a once per
suaded to make a suffrage speech,
and l admit that it was a very poor
one, too. l am not a member of any
suffrage organization, and that seems
strange, when have such strong con-
victions on the subject, but l have not
joined simply because l have had no
time to do any active work for the
cause.
1T am a firm believer in the eff
cheney of placing incipient criminals
on city farms. Many OF these unfor-
Inmates are really victims Of physical
conditions and nothing benefits them

to be blind to it's effectiveness.

MI. BruQn;S Latest Tour

There are Two good reasons why Mr.. Bryan on
BIS present speaking tour should escape criticism.
Congress is not in session. For several more days
nothing will be moving on Capitol Hill, and for the
same length Of time no cabinet meetings will he held.
The President is absent for his health, and ill is still
at the White House. What public end could Mr..
Bryan serve by remaining in Washington? None. As
he likes to speak, and as the public likes to hear him
speak, why should he not devote the time to his
favorite employment?
The second reason is that on the line of Mr.. Bry.
ans itinerary, as, indeed, everywhere, great interest
is felt in the currency law. Here and there doubt
exists as to what it will show in action. In other
quarters a lively curiosity is felt as to the men the
President is likely to commission tonexecute,the law.
Mr.: Bryan will be able to get in close touch with
sentiment on the subject, and upon his return report
information of value to his chief.
Mr.. Bryan's audience, no matter what themes lie
may offer them, will find food for reflection in the
fact that, at last, after many years, the two wings
of the democratic party are Tapping together on. a
question respecting money and credits. The great
aposttnsof free silver at sixteen to one, and a man
who opposed That doctrine when Mr.. Bryan was advo-
eating it and does not accept it now, are in full agree,
ment as to the currency reform just decreed by Con
gress. Mr.. Eryan has brought the silverites and Mr..
Wilson, the %goldites, into union for the GlassOwcn
scheme for an elastic currency.
Mr.. Bryan on this tour will gather more informa-
ton than 1e will be able to impart. Earnest Interest
centers in the sort Of men who will be picked for
service OH the reserve board, and what Influences
have prevailed in their selection. Will they be e-
perts in finance and unconnected with active, prac.
tical politics, or a combination Of financial expert and
expert politician? The success Of the new law de-
ponds a great deal on. the complexion of that board.
If it pleases the east too much the west may become
SIlcNipiOuS mr. vjco " Vilco,, J~, mans
job in naming those men.
Mr.. Bryan cannot satisfy curiosity Oh this point
at this time. He must wait, with others, for de-
velopments. 1t is not known that he is urging any
body for appointment to the board, but it is only
natural that he should wish to see represented ON it
the general ideas he has long advocated respecting
money values and circulating notes representing mo-
ney. He will return to his desk here in time to greet
the President upon his return.-Washington Star.
