MONOPOLY AND POMTICS.
The address of Senator Borah of
Idaho at Columbus yesterday is de
cidedly the clearest definition of dif
ferences between Republicans and
Progressives on the monopoly Issue
which has recently been made. At a
"get together" dinner designed to re
unite Republicans and Progressives,
(the success of the project is some
what in dispute i . the Idaho senator
sharply emphasized the difference
between Republican thought on the
monopoly question and the counsel of
"such leaders of the Progressive party
s former Senator Beverldge of In
diana and George W. Perkins of New
Tcrk. "The senator freely admitted the
lnquitie of the Chicago'' convention,
htit I unable to see that the millions
of men and women who constituted
the ltepublica.n party could be
changed in character or purpose by
the wrongdoing of an antiquated
and moribund system of holding con
ventions." He regards 1he system
which resulted in the revolt as broken
down, and directs attention to the
purposes of the leaders of the "party
of protest" on perhaps the most im
portant issue before the country.
Mr. 'lorah warned his progressive
heareM of the consequences of gov
ernment sanction of monopoly. "I
cannot imagine a more harmonious
affair than my friend neve.ridge as
attorney general anil Mr. Terkins as
the head of a board nnifaged in the
regulation of monopolies," he say.--,
and depicts the consequence, as he
views them, of administration along
that line:
Mr. President, our institutions, and
iho legitimatolv earned property of
this country, are just as sale and no
safer than the average standard .'f
itiicnship is high, and monopoly de
stroys self reliant, Independent citi
zenship the only guarantee under
heaven or among men for I republic.
A republic 1s strong enough to de
stroy but never could lie strong
enough to regulate monopoly. Pome
Of these days all political parties, be
cause the people will rise In their
might, will take up this proposition
of monopoly and declare in terms un
mistakable that a republic and
monopoly car.not exist under the same
flag will declare that we will put
the man In Jail who organizes fl
monopoly and practices monopo..
quickly as, a man who organizes a
combination of thieves and takes our
property In another way. Do not mis
understand me to oppose regulatlln
and control within certain lines, hut
regulation and control should always
be In aid of and for the purposes of
destroying monopoly
There Is not adequate general com
prehension of the wide departure pro
posed by the Progressives along this
11n. and Senator P.orah does a ser
vice In so clearly slating It. Whether
he doe so solely to the gain of the
Republican party, however, I debata
ble. The Demooratlc party I attack
ing th trust problem much In the
fashion Senator Borah favor. In the
ro-se of his speech he take the
Progressives to task because Demo
cratic) tariff revision received "the
vote of all the declared member of
the (Progressive) party In the senate
and most of the member of the
party In th house." This In lncom
prehenalble to him. But per hap he
can understand how Republican
member of those bodies could with
better grace support th Democratic
position on most of th anti-trust
bill.
KK;V LATINO RAILROAD CAPI
TAIJKVTIOV
No our of the Administration's anti
trust measures Is meeting with more
general approval than that to regulate
th lue of securities by common
carriers. The public generally, includ
ing many prominent and public
spirited bustne) men, ar for It. The
managements of numerous railroads
have given it their advocacy. And In
congress the only question Is that of
working out details. There are several
reason for this unanimity of opinion.
Scandalous financial operations of the
past by which stockholders and
shippers have suffered are fresh in
the memory of the public and often
emphasized. Recent instances of gross
mismanagement demonstrate that the
practice is not altogether obsolete.
speaking mildly. The carriers desire I
rate Increases partly to overcome the
bad effects of past mismanagement
and realize that without federal su- j
pervlsion of t'.ielr financial operations!
rate increases would be impossible ot !
attainment.
There are obvious difficulties to be
overcome in the enforcement of such
a law. Its chief good effect will be
through the publicity to be given the
issue of railway securities, the uses
to which funds so realized are to be
put, and the general condition or the
property. Any measure which falls
short of those accomplishments will
be practically useless.
The spectacle of Governor Colquitt
of Texas again in wordy revolution
need cause no surprise. The Texas ex
ecutive knew perfectly well that his
request for a personally conducted in
vasion of Mexico would be denied
Two years ago similar demonstration
at Austin occasioned an answer which
the Governor cannot have forgotten,
but the temptation to let the world
know what he would do if he were
running things seems too much fur
him.
Wonders .lever cease. The house
Of representatives is opposing a plan
for financing the Alaska railroads on
the "general ground" that it is ex
pensive! RICHES,
The move cold coin a fellow collars,
Ihe hungrier he gels for dollars. When
he is young and short of troubles, he
says: "Some fifty thousand roubles
will be a fortune quite imposing: when
I have that I won't go nosing around
In search of extra kroners, like some
old greedy money loancrs. By that
time I'll be old and wheezy, so I'll sit
down and take It easy ". But when he
has that bunch of guilders, he says.
"Oh, ehee! the fortune builders would
laugh to scorn my paltry saving
methlnks I hear their jocund ravings!
So I'll go forth and nail a million 1
will, so help me Colonel Lillian!"
Tlvn through the clanging marls he
wander, and all the Sunny years- he
squanders, and travels at a pace Unit's
killing to get the kopeck and the shill
ing. And when he's old and frail and
battered, his heart worn out, his sys
tem shattered, from tolling up Gain's
crooked trackage, he looks upon his
handsome package, and sighs: "It is a
measly bundle, and my old bones I'll
have to trundle until my meagre roll is
padded with other millions to It add
ed." Then Death comes up. the Doom
that wrecks us, and soaks him in the
solar plexus, and in his shroud morti
cians wind him. and all his scads ore
left behind him.

GETTING THI RANK HABIT.
To the Temperance Society of the
M. E Church we are Indebted for the 1
following Interesting figures:
The per capita average liquor con
sumption for the nation ai a whole 1
about 33 gallon. For Kansas it la
3.69 gallon. The total Kansas con
sumption of alcoholic beverages, esti
mated on these three typical counties.
Is 6,239.601.81 gallon per year. Had
the state used It due portion of 23
gallon per capita, the total consump
tion yearly would be 38,891,827 gal
lon. On this basi of estimate Kansas
paid a her liquor bill $5,303,666.04.
This allows $4 per gallon tor whisky
and SO cents per gallon for bear. Had
the state paid It quota of the liquor
traffic's receipts, the bill would have
been $84,(0,929 instead ot $5,303,-
666.04.
Kansas saved during the past
twelvemonth, and saves each year,
$29,206,268. A saving of $18 for every
man. woman and child within the
state! No wonder there Is an aver
age of $600 In the bank for every sin
gle family.
Where the liquor that la shipped in
to Kansas goes may be surmised from
the statement of the agent of the
Santa Fe railway, Junction depot, To
peka. In making hi report to the
county clerk he attache this state
ment: During the past month w have
delivered 175 shipments of liquor.
LESS THAN ONE DOZEN WERE DE
LIVERED TO NATIVE-BORN AMER
ICANS!" The remainder had been de
livered to Russian and Mexican labor
ers THE NATIVE AMERICAN IN KAN
SAS HAS FORGOTTEN THE LI
QUOR HABIT! BT'T HE HAS THE
BANK HABIT IN A VIRULENT
FORM. And the same may be said
of the native American in other state.
ADVANCE IN TEMPERANCE SENT
IMENT. Noting the "amazing progress"
made In the anti-aleohol sentiment,
Sir Thomas Barlow, at the Interna
tional Congress of Medicine held a
few months ago In London, said that
"in the army and navy it has been
astonishing." While many societies
and philanthropic agencies have done
their share, this beneficent change
is due. above all, he declared, to "the
growth of altruistic conscience among
young officers even In the crack regi
mentsand their consequent influence
upon the behavior of the men.
In commerce the change Is as great.
Heads of business house much pre
fer abstaining employe's, and soon
learn that the "never tipsy tippler" Is
useless. In travel, by motor and train,
the community has learned, apart
from sentiment, that alcohol takes
away control and spoils nervous reac
tion "the contention we have always
made."
In the hospital there is nothing
less than a revolution as regards the
use of alcohol. "The doctor' exam
ple." said Sir Thomas. "I all import
ant, and he must no longer fear to be
thought fanatical." In the cure of
drunkards what 1 needed is a "oon
spirary of help" by abstaining doc
tors, nurses and friend, whose exam
pie helps the patient. "We must not
be ashamed of the faith that is In ui,"
declare this noted physician, who
has been an abstainer for many years.
A FITTING MONUMENT.
Recently the christian young peo
ple of St. Lonl protested against the
erection of a monument In one of the
city parks to the late Adolphus Busch.
brewer, their resolution setting forth
that "a monument to his memory
mean a monument to th liquor traf
fic with which his whole life wn iden
tified." Whereupon one of the city
paper thus pertinently commented:
"The youngsters made a mistake
They should have helped erect th
monument, contributing liberally to it
They easily eould have found skele
ton enough of those who had been
starved to death by the use of Adol
phus' chief brew to have erected a
fine abaft. The grinning skeletons.
with here and there a bottle of An-hur-fluch
would have made n
haft to the heavens and every child
would have been benefited by th
warning thu placed in the public
park."
WAGE EARNER AND DRINK.
The liquor trafflo pay to wag
earner in th manufacture of liquet
lea than $40.000400 annually.
But 71 time aa muoh 1 paid to
wage earner by the total number el
