There can lie no doubt that Roosevelt put the

he permitted them to play the game without liiin over

Teddy let them have it.
The State Capital says editoHally: "It is just :i^
easy to go through life looking for the good and beau-
tiful, instead of the ugly; for the noble instead of the
ignoble." and then fills two columns of the same page
with all manner of lalk about Haskell, Jake Damon
and McMurray. That's practising a preachment, now
isn't it?

When New York's central committee elected Vice
President Sherman the temporary chairman, the
(luthric State Capital rejoiced in red ink; when Cali-

looked that item; seems like Frank might tighten up
on that desk man a little.
The Appeal to Reason has over four hundred

would he a powerful instrument in bringing about the
condition of affairs that it plainly desires.

ENC LAND'S LESSON FOR AMERICANS.
I'resident Ripjey lias not helped the case of the
railroads by giving out another interview, or stale-j
| nicut, in which he advi > all railway employes |() vote
against candidates for office, local or general, who
favor further regulation of railroads. It is not by such
pronouncement that railway presidents may hope to
create a friendlier feeling with tile public.
Regulation'has gone far enough iu all conscience,
indeed con iderably too far, in President Ripley's no-
tion. Many |teople disagree with him, and their
points of view arc so far apart that they will not easily
come to any under-tamling. at this rate. Mr. Rip-
ley' idea that regulation ha gone far enough, or too
far, i undoubtedly a firm conviction, hut the fact re-
mains that it lias not gone as far even with tile latest
law passed by Congress, which seemed to Mr. Ripley
the last straw id injury to railroad properties, as it had
gone half a century ago in England, lint Kngland is
different, say railroad champions. England's differ-
ence does not touch on the elementary principles of
regulation, however, such as capitalization, equitable
returns and government supervision for the public
protection.
In the New York Tribune of August 15 i a long
letter from its well known London correspondent, I.
N. F., reciting what England's theory has been and
how it has been carried out. Sav the correspondent:
"Officials of the board of trade have, read with
amazement the text of the new railway law in which
President Taft has interested himself. What seems
to lie regarded in America as a radical measure of con-
trol is described by experts here as exceedingly cau-
tion- and conservative legislation. Parliament and the
board of trade have gone much further than Congress
in establishing a uniform classification of freight
charges, in regulating rati' 011 a mileage basis ami in
securing uniform terminal facilities."
Yet how the insurgents fought to get the new
railroad law from Congress. Hut iu England the y> ilicy
"has been rigorous and almost drastic from the begin-
ning. In America it has been easy and indulgent.
I11 England "the corporations," says the Tribune
London corres|)on(lcnt, "the corporations have nev
been allowed to get out of hand. They were com-
pelled to construct their lines solidly and expensively,
so as to secure public safety and convenience; there
was thorough inspection of new work by government
experts before it was set in operation; there was sys-
tematic investigation, * * * adequate safeguards,
* * and comprehensive supervision of every de-
tail of the railway business by an open court where
grievances could be heard and redressed."
It is further stated by the Tribune's London bu-
reau that "the railway corporations, instead of object-
ing to government supervision and control, have wel-
comed it as a practical method of commanding public
confidence and imparting stability to securities and
investments. That has been the uniform experience,
from the construction of the earliest English lines to
the important experiment in arbitration by which a
general railway strike- was recently prevented through
the intervention of Mr. Lloyd-George. Government
control," iu short, "by systematic measures and equit-
able processes has helped the English railway- instead
of retarding their progress. That is the 1110 t import-
ant lesson for Americans from British experience."
It has been a long contest, with many ups and
downs, but America is approaching late in the day the
principles that England adopted at the outset. The
railways are not to be injured or retarded in their de-
velopment by the public demand for fair capitaliza-
tion and charges, but given stability and public confi-
dence in their securities.
But most railroad financiers so mistrust the pub-
lic and the government that rather than concede pub-
lic demands they hope to stave off regulation and
supervision by enlisting the political support of their
hundreds of thousands of employes, basing the appeal
for their help upon the matter of wages. Such a polit-
ical combination, if it could be formed, would evident-
ly be inherently dangerous to the nation, containing
within it the possibility of tyranny and oppression
against which there would lie 110 redress by the unor-
ganized majority. It assumes that the public is wrong,
prejudiced, unsafe and incapable of self government.
If this assumption were sound it would be humiliating
to the country and ominous for future progress and
stability. It the assumption is unsound, then what a
reckless thing the railroads are proposing to do in or-
ganizing a vast political force for class purposes which
there is no certainty they could always control.
As the London correspondent of the Tribune, for
many years its resident correspondent and a conserva-
tive and trained observer and reporter, says, the "niosi
important lesson for \mericans from British experi-
ence" is, 011 the contrary, that supervision and control
ANGER AND LAUGHTER.
Among the people who do not
know how the "marvel of Oklaho-
ma" has been brought about. The
"booster" is looked upon much as
the yellow journalist. Ho is believed
to be a man who has the smallest
regard for truth when he si>oaks
by .lie government precisely along the lines advocated ^
in tiu^ country work out for the advantage ami pcace
of railroads ami public alike.—Topeka Capital.
