REAPING WHAT WE'VE sOWN.

FORMER President Tart is scoring
lot of bulls eyes these days in the adj
dresses he is delivering at functions of
one sort and another in all parts of the
country. And he has said nothing
more pointed and forceful than were
mis- observations at the recent gather
ing of the Knife and Fork club of
Kansas City, Mo-, to the effect the
present chief ailment of our body
polite is due to the aftermath of the
undertaking that has been such a ia
vorite sport in this country for so
long, but which is now fortunately
on the ebb. But, as Mr.. Taft says,
you can't excite the people to a
frenzy, as has been done by the politi-
cal demagogues and muckrakers, and
expect it to stop at the line of mod
Grafton. Our ever-increasing taxes, he
charges, are due to the rush that's
been started in the direction of gov
eminent ownership and operation, and
he points out that these excuses
brighten capital, the hub of industrial
progress and development. Further
more, he nails to the cross the pop
ular delusion that capital is COM
prised of the possessions of the mil
lionaires. He rightfully asserts that it
IS really the reservoirs of men of lit
tie means, the insurance companies
and the savings banks, for instance.
And as he says, the crusade against
capital doesn't injure the rich person
ally, it really Injuries those who are
least BILE to bear it. To insist, though,
that all of the undertaking that's been
done has been without good results
would be going too far. 1t has pointed
out evils that needed correction, and
many of them have already been as
suaged. But i large part of the muck
raking of recent years has been only
vicious and violent and made out of
whole cloth. 1t has served no pur-
pose whatever except to inflame the
people into demanding changes, re-
gardless of whether they might be
would be little progress in any direc-
ton were it not for criticism. But the
only criticism worth while is that of
constructive variety. Here's where
most of the undertaking failed. 1t til
raded against evils both real and
imaginary but suggested no reasona-
BILE formulas for their eradication. 1t
is necessary to lay a finger on a sore
spot, but nothing comes of this unless
the right kind of a cure is applied.
An incessant placing of a finger on
sore spot without the application of
soothing salve tends merely to irritate
the sore. 1t becomes a running sore,
that only time and the most careful
attention an heal. The best sifn of
the times, however, is that the ire
sponsible muckraker and demagogue
are not attracting the notice that they
once did from so many of the people,
and that there is a growing DISPOSE
ton everywhere to give not only cap
ital but everything else, including all
sorts and conditions of humans, the
square deal to which they're entitled.

Resolutions were adopted by the
city commission today for the creation
of two new small sewer districts. One
is south and east of Twentieth street
and Kansas avenue, and the other in
the east part of the city but not in
that territory in which the state board
of health has ordered a sewer built.
The claim against the city made by
L. w. Jones, 1177 Woodward avenue,
was today rejected by the city COM
mission upon the recommendation of
w. G. Tandy and the city attorney.
Jones claims his property was dam
aged to the extent of $500 by the
overflow of a sewer for which he al
leges the city is responsible. The sew
err in question was built by private
pa rites years ago before the land was
part of the city. No one knows just
where the sewer begins, nor where it
ends, but it crosses Mr.. Jones property
at 1177 WOODWARD avenue.
