Such a scheme has been so long in the air that it is entirely probable that it will be tried. If it suc- ceeds the world will soon see the last of free pro- duction in the foodstuffs, and also in the clothing fibers. If wheat can be absolutely controlled by ar- tifice, every necessary of life can be controlled also, and the trusts which will do it, composed of the ag- | | take himself and his device far from the interference , ricultural classes of the world, will make the pres- ent industrial trusts look like the proverbial thirty cents. A traveler from Mexico was fefused landing at this port a few days ago on the ground that he exhibited unmistakable marks of consumption. He explained that his deplorable condition was due to fever and the use of cigarettes. He submitted too much evi- dence. Had he simply pleaded the use of cigarettes any evident disaster to hissconstitution would have been accepted as a result. The gamblers who, in seeking an incorporation of Colma, tried to tax the inmates of the ghostly pre- cincts of graveyards possibly saw no incongruity in the proceeding, fortified as they are in their experi- ence in preying upon the living. The man who will accept the bait and play a gambler's game has as much chance as if he were dead. Governor Taft, it is said, will be chosen Secretary of War by President Roosevelt upon the retirement of Secretary Root. It is evident therefore that some- times men who have rendered distinguished service in the cause of republics are rewarded with other than public clamor and official neglect. Governor Taft has won his promotion. To Americans the racial disturbances in the Balkans have at least one feature of consolation.

OVERNOR DURBIN of Indiana in reply- G ing to President Roosevelt’s letter on the frequency of lynching outrages in this coun- try and the need of a more resolute enforcement of law says: “Your stirring words will serve to press home upon the people a responsibility which, reach- ing beyond all those in authority, is after all essen- tially their own. To arouse the realization of that responsibility and all that it implies will be to eradi- cate conditions which otherwise may soon become, as you point out so cleverly, an imminent menace to the very life of the republic.” Approval of the President’s address has been given South as well as North, as.might have been ex- pected, for the issue is national and not sectional. For example, no one has been more prompt to | commend the letter than Governor Terrell of Geor- gia, who in a statement to the Associated Press said: “I think President Roosevelt is on the right line, and I am in hearty accord with the views he ex- presses.” The only person of note who has spoken in support of Atlanta, who at a recent Chautauqua assem- bly said of lynching: “It here. It is here to stay. Place here as the premise and postulate is be discontinued in this republic until the crime which provokes it is destroyed. This is a fact, not a theory. It is not as it ought to be, but it is as it is, and it surely will be. * * * We might as well state the question fairly. The problem of the hour | is not how to prevent lynching in the South, but the larger question, how shall we destroy the crime ich always has and always will provoke the lynch- ing? When we reach this statement of the question we have made some progress; not before.” When placing that “premise and postulate” be- fore the Chautauquans Mr. Graves cunningly sought | flagging dishonesty, her places of public sport. to induce them to believe that the crime which pro- | vokes lynching is that of assault by negroes upon | | white women. The innuendo, however, fails of effect | | in the face of reports given by the press of variousi [l_vnching outrages. In some cases negroes have been | lynched for no other offense than that of seeking an opportunity to work. In other instances they have | been put to death solely because they were negroes. | Again, in several of the outrages the victims were | not negroes, but white men, and finally in repeated :instanccs of lynching committed by “Whitecaps” in | the Mississippi Valley States the victims of the lynch- ers were white women. Graves has evidently started in to out-Tillman Till- man himself, but his plea will have no effect beyond ! that of inflaming a little more the lawless spirit that |is ever eager to commit crimes of violence and to overthrow law whenever it can do so with impunity. | The great masses of the American people are no longer interested in any discussion as to whether {lynch law is or is not justifiable. They have made | up their minds on that point, and their concern in the | problem now is solely that of determining how to | provide an effective remedy for the evil. President Roosevelt said: “We must show that the law is adequate to deal with crime by freeing it | from every vestige of technicality and delay.” Gov- ernor Terrell emphasizes the “The majesty of the law should be upheld, but at | the same time there should be prompt and speedy | trial of the offenders in the ease of that crime which | most frequently excites the anger of mobs and leads to lynchings, and the punishment should not be de- layed by technicalities.” Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court has recommended the same remedy, saying: “One thing needed to stay this epidemic of | Iynching is the establishment of a greater confidence same point, saying: | | against what she regards as the injustice done Gorman advises his party to make the next cam- paign on a strictly smooth platform. He is not going to antagonize the currency bill, but purposes to ac- cept whatever measure the Republicans bring in. Second, he is not going to advocate free trade or any radical alteration of the tariff, but will recom- mend a slight revision wherever needed. He will not denounce the trusts nor support any legislation aimed at their suppression. In short, he will be a candidate who means to promise something to everybody, while at the same time assuring the country that no change will be made in either the fiscal or the monetary laws, except such slight al- terations as the big interests may desire. Such a platform will not arouse enthusiasm in either the Cleveland or the Bryan wings of the party, but Gormdn is not looking for enthusiasm. He be- lieves that Democracy needs a rest more than any- thing else, and he purposes to apply a sort of bread poultice policy to the old inflammations in ordsr to soothe them and permit the rest to take place. It is a great scheme and it may win. It is admitted that the course of true love never did run smooth, but there are times when men would rather have smoothness than love, and at this juncture Democ- racy is in that frame of mind. e e h.roic mood has determined to “regulate” the plug- uglies who infest, with pugilistic impudence and un- It occasionally happens that Oakland offers us a good suggestion. This is one of them which our municipal authorities will not see. A WOMAN’S INDICTMENT. M RS. KATE T. WOOLSEY, author of “Repub- lics Versus Women,” has contributed to the 5 current North American a savage onslaught women by republics, and especially by this country. She says, indeed, “the United States republic is a monstrous regimen of men—a strictly masculine monopoly, a purely male oligarchy”; and stating that she is descended on both sides from colo- | nial ancestors who took up arms for the right of self-government, she adds: “I decided that 1 would not be a worthy descendant of my progenitors if I did not rebel against a government which refused my sex its highest recognition and which placed its women under the dominion of millions of males of every condition and degree of life, from every land under the sun.” Six times did Mrs. Woolsey suffer “sex humilia- tion” in this country. The first occurred when as a little girl she heard her father say that in a lawbook he was writing he would have to record the fact that the legal status of the white wife in his State was little better than that of the former negro slave; second, when she heard a negro member of Con- gress say he was opposed to adding an amendment to the constitution that would place white women upon a public equality with negro men; third, when she heard native-born American ladies, address a foreign-born committee of a Legislature to plead for their enfranchisement; fourth, when she witnessed an emigrant legislator throw a petition which was presénted by numerous American ladies to his Legis- lature into the Legislature’s wastebasket with the remark that legislators “have more important matters to attend to than the affairs of women”; fifth, When after paying more taxes than the .nirte_n colonies were expected to pay to England in six months un- der the stamp act she was told by a foreign-born member of Congress that the founders of the United States republic meant that “taxation without repre- sentation is tyranny” for men only; and sixth, when in the summary and certain punishment of the crimi- | she saw a President of the United States driving I nal. Men are afraid of the law’s delays and the un- | certainty of its results. Not that they doubt the in- | tegrify of the Judges, but they know that the | abounds with technical rules and that appellate | courts will often reverse a judgment or conviction | for a disregard of such rules, notwithstanding a full belief in the guilt of the accused. If all were cer- | tain that the guilty ones would be promptly tri(‘di’ 2 saw Victoria pass through the streets of London, and and punished, the inducement to lynch would be largely taken away.” | Statements of that kind coming from the Presi- | dent, from Governors and from a Justice of the Su- | preme Court may be accepted as convincing: proof | that there is needed a more prompt enforcement of | the criminal law. Still it will be borne in mind that in most cases where lynch law has been resorted to | no member of the mob could have had any doubt that the guilty party would have been promptly pun- | ished by the courts. Governor Durbin, speaking of | the mobs in Indiana, said: “There could be no reasonable complaint either oi the executive or of | the courts in this State on the ground of the non- | enforcement of the law.” A similar statement might | be truthfully made in almost every State where | | lynching has been frequent. In fact, lynching is no | more nor less than downright lawlessness and an- | archy, and the only remedy for it is the enforcement ! of law against lynchers as well as against other crim- : inals. | N Langley, the airship sharp, has decided that he will | of anxious and skeptical worldlings, particularly re- porters. This action on the part of Langley appears Ito be the best thing he has done. It bears evidence of an intelligence which breeds hope for the perform- ance of better things. GORMAN IS SMOOTH S Allison that if he were shod with wooden clogs and made to run at full speed over the marble floor of the corridors of the Capitol he would make the race from one end of the building to the other without making a sound loud enough to attract the attention of any one in the building. As a Presiden- tial candidate Senator Gorman evidently intends to make a similar record. Since his return from Eu- rope his course has been as smooth as the flow of molasses, and every word he has uttered could be easily worked ‘up into taffy for any faction of the Democratic party that happens to need it. After the downright Cleveland and the aggressive and uncompromising Bryan, Democracy feels the need of a bland gentleman of quiet ways and easy politics, and hence it is not surprising to learn that from one end of the country to the other the fac- tion leaders are turning to Gorman with something like a spontaneity of movement. It may be of course that the movement is not spontaneous, for Gorman is quite capable of working his machine without showing the wires, but nevertheless it seems spon- taneous, for it starts equally from every quarter of the camp and tends to the common center like a Afiock of startled sheeg unnina'la the bell wether. ENATOR INGALLS once said of Senator through the streets of Washington on his way to be inaugurated and saw there was “no woman by his law | Side, no women in his escort, no women on the plat- form, and that the whole proceeding was one of males, males, males.” Disgusted with her native republic, Mrs. Woolsey sought the monarchical society of Great Britain and there found much that pleased her. She says she noticed that “a state occasion in a mofarchy is not an affair of males, males, males,” for as the Queen Empress passed along there were women in her coach and women in her escort. She also saw in London that streets, parks, monuments, markets, li- braries, railway stations, theaters, ships of the navy and regiments of the army, holidays and many other things bore the names of women as tributes of es- teem. Convinced by such experiences that monarchies are more favorable to women than are republics, Mrs. Woolsey, having been invited to address a number of women, many of them anarchists, advised them not to seek the overthrow of monarchical institutions, afd “showed them the desperate, disheartening, cruel sufferings which women had undergone in constitu- !i_onal and representative governments to gain recog- nition, justice or power.” The plea is strongly made and has unquestionably a Youndation in truth. It is not to be denied that women have in the United States much to gain be- fore they will have all that they merit or which will be theirs in an ideal condition of society; but none the less there is an enormous fallacy involved in the conclusion that the position of woman in the United States is worse than her position in any country of the Old World. Mrs. Woolsey’s argument is a plea for the aristocratic woman, for the grand lady born to purple and wealth and longing for precedence and social preferment. It is much the same plea that Waldorf Astor would make in defeMse of his choice of England as a home. This is not a good land for persons of aristocratic pretensions, whether men or women, and those who wish recognition of such pre- tensions must go abroad. In a democracy such as exists here there must be always many crudities and some absurdities, but none the less the rank in the world wifich the American woman holds both indus- trially and socially is a conclusive proof that her energies are given more freedom here than any- where else on the globe. Whatever else may be said of Turkey no one will question her keen conception of the thought of seli- preservation under any condition in which danger may be presented. When the Russian bear demanded reparation for the murder of one of his representa- tives i?ld in the demand showed his teeth Turkey was quick in compliance. The sick man of Europe is not infrequently the wise man of the East.

That statement looks absolutely start- ling in cold type, but when you realize that it is a sentiment em- anating from the foremost political and financial economists of the | world it is time to begin to sit up and take notice. If you doubt its truth just take a casual glance at the popular literature of the hour. | You will invariably find that the theme is wealth, and more wealth, and yet again more wealth—wealth in the spending even as much as wealth in the making. Not the fairy tale lore of wealth of bygone ages. but | modern wealth that has to do with empire building, the destiny of na- | tions, the struggle for commercial dominance and aristocratic_social su- | premacy of the men and women of the hour, yea, almost of the very minute, so vast and so rapid is the rise and fall of the bureauocracy of | . o more the tales of buried treasure of picturesque pirates or | lost mines and enchanted palaces stored with riches, but the gold that | glitters before our very eyes—rich, yellow gold that we watch in the making—gold, that is accumulated while you wait by men we all know, ;nd spent with greater ease and facility. by women who are better nown. Of such a dozen books that everybody is reading right now might be mentioned at random. To begin with there is “The Spenders,” which is concluded in the Sunday Call to-day, and which not only shows the excitement of modern money, making, but the more subtle art of spending it. Then there is “The Octopus.” Frank Norris' famous tale of the building of vast wealth. and his later book, “The Pit.” which tells of the awful struggle to corner that same X “The Autocrat.” “The Thirteenth Distric ‘Tainted Gold.” “The Mis- sissippi Bubble.” etc.. etc. Indeed the list might be swelled indefinitely. But of all these novels none are quite like unto that very Ilatest creation, “Brewster's Millions.” In point of fact “Brewster’s Millions” is absolutely unlike anything that has ever been written before. for in it a perfectly adorable young fellow has to spend a million a year. get his money’s worth and vet have absolutely nothing to_show for it at the « d of that time in order that he may inherit six million more. Sounds fascinating, doesn’t it? Well, it is more than that. ’ . Now you may think it is the easiest thing in the world to spend 2 million. Never tried it. of course. But wait until you have read “Brewster's Millions.” which begins in the next Sunday Call, and you will see what a stupendous task it is to spend a million a vear—actually spend it—not, dissipate it or give it away or lose it in false speculation. but get your money’s worth as you would if you had only a hundred in- stead of a cool million. But the popular craze of literature of the bright. snappy. un-to-date sort goes even further than this. Never hefore was there such a tre- mendous demand for short stories of the best sort. And what better reading could you get? A good short story is a complete novel in con- densed form. and it is just such evcellent reading as this that is pro- vided in the Sunday Call's new “Hali Hour Storiettes.”” of which. next Sunday, you will get two full pages. Here are some of the titles: “Mysterious Leofric.” “In the Flash of Strived Death.” “The Secret of the Jamaica Sink Hole.” “The Reautiful Miss Marriam.” “Fables for the Foolish,” “Shorty Mahan's Passing.” s Golden Tether,” “While the Train Waited." "{Vh!( T;:y Peter Did." etc., etc. Best“ol all there is a new short story by A.
