DESTROYED CONFIDENCE.

Confidence Is the only thing needed
TO restore business prosperity is
what President Wilson is reported TO
have said to the directors OF the Ma.
tional Reserve Banks who were re-
ceived at the White House. Exactly.
But that is just what the perform.
ances OF the Democratic Congress has
destroyed. There is no need OF re-
peating the details. The country
knows all about II. The people know
all about IL. because they have
lost confidence in the Democratic par
~. Nothing will restore complete con.
hdence and assure prosperity but the
return OF the Republican party to
power. The Democratic party has
convicted itself. Its leaders have
scoffed at it for its extravaganza and
its hypocrisy. II has just capped the
climax OF its inoapacity by passing a
revenue tax measure in a time OF
peace, and on this we take the tcsti.
mony of leading Democratic paper.

at is just as The Intelligencer has
been maintaining right along. thai the
antitrust legislation of the Democrat
lie Congress is mere pretension. None
Of the bills outlining the Presidents
program on their passage bore the
least resemblance to their original
forms. The party has so acclaimed
against the trusts and the wicked mo-
nopolies that IL become a perfunctory
habit with II, and when 1t unexpected
~ found itself in power It Immediate
ly went TO work on make-believe
measures. All OF this Is outlined in
an address made by former President
Taft before the American Bar Assoc'a-
ton. who stamps the Democratic leg

regulation program as a fulhllment Of
the promise to the ear with intent 10

risy.

the courts, in their Interpretation Of

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM

The railroads OF the country are
public institutions: they are not like
private industrial enterprises which
can cease operation when their bust.

the gist OF the differentiation made by
President Willard. OF the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad. in the rate hearing be.

sion. With the closing OF mills. or
partial operation. the shutting down of
factories and consequent languishing
business and trade conditions. IL il a
perfectly competent corollary that the
railroads have also suffered in the
diminution of their revenues. And IL
is a much more important proposition
to extend relative aid in allowing them
a slight increase in rates than to val.
orize cotton.
II is better to prevent railroad sys.
TENS from going into the hands Of
receivers than TO evolve some plan of
putting the cotton planters in the
hands OF the bankers. The one con.
Germs all of the people of the United
States. while the misfortunes of the
other affect only a small section Of
the country. Cotton growing is a pri.
Vate enterprise. while railroading is
a public institution. Both are con-
fronting serious situation. and The
lnteiligencer would like to see both
relieved of the strain that is upon
them. but # believes that the railroad
problem is the more menacing Of the
two.
