The Right of Petition.

The business world, 1t would seem from
published reports, Is divided on the sub
1ect of the Presidents trust program
Senators and representatives are receiv-
ing many letters. kilograms and petitions
urging an early adjournment of Congress
with the trust question postponed until
next winter 1t is represented to them
that business wants and needs rest
that the new tariff law and the new
currency law are enough for business tc
digest at this time. POSTPONE the trust
question until the short session. and at
that time the trust bills now before Con-
gress with the Presidents approval can be
acted on-be passed. amended or rejected
with better knowledge of their contents
and qualities.
At the same time the President and the
members of the ca binet are receiving let
tiers. kilograms and petitions urging that
Congress remain in session until the Presi-
dents program is carried out. 1t is rep
resented to them that business is not as
depressed as described: that matters are
going along very well. and will soon be
better: that the President is right in his
contention. and that now is the time 10
dispose of the question of additional trust
regulation.
The President characterizes as con-
spiracy this approach of business TO Con
gress, and condemns it. But he does not
rebuke the like approach to him and his
official advisers. On the contrary. by
confessing to that. and giving out for
publication the contents of some of the
communications received. he indorses it,
He, thus makes a difference between
sauce for the congressional goose and
sauce for the executive gander
But why not settle the matter in an
anicable wav? Let senator's turn over
their communications to the secretary of
the Senate. and representatives theirs to
the clerk of the House. and let those
two officials deliver the papers at the
White House. Then let the President
through Secretary Tumulty deliver the
executive mail of that character on Capt.
toll Hill. Then let those three officials
representing Congress and the executiv.
sort out the papers. and report as to
which side has the better of the arsu-
ment as respects interests involved and
facts given.
The right of petition still holds. AL
though this Congress has surrendered
much Of its right of initiative. the people
have surrendered none of their right to
address their senators and representatives
on any matter now before or likely to
come before Congress. And equally un-
impaired is their right to address by let
ter or otherwise the President and his
Official advisers on any matter affecting
the public welfare. The mails are open
to all: and whenever public questions of
great moment are under discussion in
Congress they should be used freely by
all who put an interest in projected legis-
lation. for or against The more alert
business men are when business meas
ures are before Congress, the better for
Congress and all concerned

ton. Whenever I'm hard up, said
Chairman Dixon of the bull moose nation

and is. that the chairman never called in
vain.
There was no concealment at that time
about MIR. Perkins business connections.
Everybody knew what they were. Ger

man Dixon did, and they gave Mr.. Per
kins their full confidence and many ex-
pressions of appreciation of his assist

Nor do the present business connec-
tons of Mr. Perkins differ from those
he maintained two years ago. He is
the same man, and his influence in bust
ness circles is no whit less.
But certain bull moosers. friendly
enough with Mr.. Perkins then, are anti

cier bearing campaign contributions. They
fear the effect on the plain people. Hence
their demand that he be forced out of the
party, or at least into the background.
Their idea is that with Mr.. Perkins

it will not prove a vote-getter this year
or two years hence.
Mr. Perkins fate. al is that of the bull
moose party. is, in Mr.. Roosevelt's hands.
II the chief calls halt. the warfare
on Mr.. Perkins will prohabl cease: and
the chief will be called on to express
himself soon after landing. The subject
is one that cannot wait.
1t does not seem likely that Mr.. Roose-
welt will decide against Mr.. Perkins. He
likes "a practical man He showed that
in his dealings with Mr.. Hartman. whom
he hailed as "a practical man. and con-
fessed that he was one himself. 1t can
not be that he has changed in that re-
gard "A practical man is just as
necessary in politics now as in 1904. and
Mr.. Perkins is just as practical as was
Mr.. Hartman.
AS a betting proposition. therefore, Mr..
Perkins looks good" A political party

to raise them and apply them intelli-
gently is very necessary in political CAM

The War on Perkins.

The row in bull moose circles over
George ". Perkins is one Of the prettiest
imaginabI
Mr. Perkins, as is well known, does not
play politics for his health. He is a
business man, whose training has been
thorough and whose success considerable.
He has touched shoulders with the lead
ing captains OF industry of this era His
views about business. big and little. are
Of record. He has expressed them in
letters. in newspaper interviews and on
the witness stand. His belief is that
Big Business is here to stay. and the
policy he recommends is that it be thor
oughly but wisely regulated by law.
Originally Mr.. Perkins was a republic
can. But as Mr.. Roosevelts attitude
toward the trusts had greatly impressed
him. he followed Mr.. Roosevelt into the

The Automobile in Religion.
rom the Detroit Free Press

From the Detroit Free Press.
One reads with mingled amazement
and regret the report that the Dunkard
or German Baptist convention in Indiana
a few days ago decided to forbid for
time the purchase or use of automobiles
by members of that denomination. 1t is
amazing that any body of men and wom-
en- can by majority vote in this time of
general enlightenment take such stand.
And it is matter for regret that the ac-
union in the religious world. Surely
there is already enough of this sort of
thing remaining in the divided counsels
of the men and women to whom the
world is looking for leadership In better
ment without adding thereto for trivial
reasons. To ban the automobile because
of its worldliness reminds students of re-
ligious history of the time, few genera
tons ago. when Christian body divided
on the question OF buttons.

Dealing With Drug Traffic.

From the New York Tribune.
The drug habit is at the root of most
murders and of many other serious
crimes, and 1t ruins hundreds of lives
which never slip into crime. With the
new law which is to take effect next
month. this state has done about all
that can be done by law to check the
illicit traffic. The police and the prose
cutors and the courts are doing splendid
service in catching the drug traders and
putting them behind the bars.

Bitter Root valley men are expert

machine. They plan to dry such por-
ton of the products of their orchards
as cannot be marketed as fancy
grades The machine removes the
water from the fruit by vacuum pres
sure. The cores are used for cider
vinegar and thus there is no wa @
of any part OF the fruit. 1t takes from
six to seven pounds of apples when
fresh to make one poudn of dried
Three pounds of prunes and three and
four of cherries, six or eight of straw.
berries make one pound Of dried"
These new methods should be in
vestigated by our fruit growers WhC
find themselves in the position of pro
ducing the very best fruit in thu
United States and yet are unable t
market at an advantage because thci
fresh fruits when shipped are p

the electric machinery in this up-to-

which he may bore holes in steel or
wood. 1t is particularly valuable In
running spokes or boring holes in
fellies for wagon wheels. or most
interest Is the electric trip hammer

power also operates a circular saw
and it is Mr.. Giles intention to add a

possible for Mr.. Giles single handed
to do the work of two men and do II
more accurately.
