legislation vs. litigation.
It docs not require much in>iglit into business prin-
ciples and | litical cconomy to realize that legislation
is properly the last resort for the adjustment of all
industral and contingent matters. Legislation is ex-
pensive,' it is demoralizing, it cheeks business, and it
is under present conditions in this country the most
uncertain occupation that can be engaged in. 'I his is
no less true of governmental than of individual or
corporation affairs.
The starting of the suits against the International
Harvester Company and the steel corporation, follow
ing as they do so closely after the unsatisfactory tei
initiation of the prosecutions of the packers, tin
Standard Oil Company and the American Tobacco
Company, naturally cause a feeling of doubt as to
the outcome, and of the policy of proceeding in that
manner at tiiis time, and under the present laws
While no administration is to lie censured for at
tempting to enforce whatever laws are 011 the statute-
books during its tenure, it would seem that repeated
failures, such as the country has just witnessed,
would cause any administration to look for better
laws, and a more effective way of dealing with thi
problems at hand. A policy of blind and headstrom
prosecutions, barren of good results /and Attended b)
bad results, is not good for any country.
The Tobacco and Standard (>il suits were success
ful in that they accomplished the nominal dissolutioi
of those mammoth concerns, lint the country re
ceived no benefit. On the contrary, prices of the com
modifies dealt in by them, and prices of the stocl
representing ownership of the assets of the two con-
cerns, have raised materially. These increases might
have occurred anyway. Hut. it Is certain that tin-
suits did not prevent them, 110* gain anything for the
country at large or any consumer.
Too much legislation is as bad as too little. Hut
it is evident that what this country needs right now
is some legislation along anti-trust lines that can be
understood and complied with. It is a travesty on our
national statutes that we have an anti-trust law that
cannot be successfully interpreted, even by our ablest
jurists. Kven the supreme court disagrees as to what
the law means and what it 'floes not mean. There
is 110 way for Itig Business to tell when it is violating
it. and when it is not. As long as this condition pre-
vails there will always lie grounds for litigation, with
the chances in favor of just such results as have been
recently witnessed.
Colonel Roosevelt is on the right track when he
advocates legislation instead of litigation wherever
possible in regulating the big business affairs of the
nation. I lis policy is to keep out of a law suit as kjng
as possible, but to be armed with effective statutes
and use them w hen necessary.

slowly that he himself does not notice it. But peo-
ple he meets know it after while. Of course they do
not say so, but they know it. It is just as easy to
pick out the habitual drinker in a crowd as it is to
identify a Ben Davis apple in a basket of Jonathans.
So it is w ith a community. A composite picture of
a citizen is one in which the lieaments, the physical
characteristics and facial expressions of all is blended
into a geheral average. A composite picture is what
a man gets when he observes any citizenship assembled
together. A composite picture of the Kansas citizen
indicates that he is not a lxx>zc fighter.
During the past year the writer has had unlimited
opportunity to observe the Kansati—native and accli-
mated. In our judgment there is not a state in the
Union with a higher class 01" citizenship than Kansas.
We will put it even stronger; any state whose aver-
age citizenship is in a class with that of Kansas is
extremely fortunate.
Go to the parks of Wichita, of Topeka, Hutchin-
son, or any of the larger towns. Attend tha slate and
county fairs, or any gathering of Kansans, fr6m town
or country, or both; Take a peep into the theatres
or the moving picture shows. Go to the churches
if you will, but you do not even need to do that.
Use your eyes. Study the faces and the actions .of
the people you meet. Gather a composite picture of
the kansati. You will see more intelligence, more
sincerity, less disorder and less ignorance, than exists
in any state where whiskey is legally sold. A gen-
eration and more of comparative temperance has
1 nude its mark. If that docs not satisfy you, go to
the records of the poor and insane. Note the almost
total absence of |>ovcrty and insanity. Extreme riches
'you will not find, nor extreme |>overty. But you
will find a greater percentage of people in couifort-
ible circumstances than most anywhere else you may
go. Look at the bank deposits, the farm and city
improvements, the automobiles and fine stock. Kan-
as people put their money into these things, instead
if into booze. Consider the low percentage of
illiteracy, and the high percentage of college students
and graduates.

If the final action of the courts is to prevent the
state of Oklahoma from issuing bonds to cover the
nearly three million dollars' indebtedness incurred by
lie Haskell and Cruce administrations, it is likely
to go hard with the holders of warrants issued rep-
resenting that excess of expenditure. These warrants
will undoubtedly be paid, but the delay may force the
>rice down.
The situation gives rise to an interesting question,
''mil suggests a line for future action. If there is no
vay of keeping the state administration from plung-
ing the state so enormously in debt—if constitutional
limitations and statutory provisions can be overridden
at will—why wouldn't it be a good idea for the bank-
rs and capitalists to refuse to buy or cash excess
warrants?
Oklahoma has received comparatively little for the
vast expenditures under the two Democratic admin-
istrations since statehood. A very large percentage
of the millions squandered has gone to pay the sab
aries and expenses of a horde of useless officials,
and in maintaining unnecessary commissions and de-
partments which only interfere with the dispatch of
.•date business.
Here is one place where the money power might
he used to good, advantage.

kansas and booze.
The man who solemnly declares that Kansas uses
more booze than it would without a prohibitory law-
has again succeeded in attracting attention. Of course
this man is a liar or a dreamer, but, like others of
his class, ho sometimes misleads people. However,
the people tliis man misleads <lo not live in Kansas,
and they know nothing of Kansas.
The very countenance of a Kansas crowd is con
elusive proof to any man competent to judge human
nature that Kansas consumes mighty little booze. It
is wholly impossible for anv man to drink liquor
habitually, even moderately, and not show the effects
in his countenance. It is just as impossible for
community to contain any considerable percentage ot
drinking men, and when congregated together conceal
the fact from an observer, though he be a total
stranger.
Mast men Who drink moderately fondly imagine
that 110 one knows it outside of their intimate ac-
quaintances and associates. Hut they are mistaken
i'.verybody knows it; that is, everybody w ho is al all
Mr. John Jacob Astor may have died as befits a
hero. We are eager to believe and ready to concede
that lie did. I5ut it was not a heroic dis-
position that Mr. Astor made of his fortune. Out of
an estate variously estimated to be worth from $75,
ooo.ooo to $150,000,000, the only public bequest was
$30,000 for a little school in New Hampshire. Like
all the Astors before him, he sought to keep the vast
estate as nearly intact as possible. He gave small
amounts to friends for the most part already so
wealthy as to make his bequests to them mere pit-
tances, and other small amounts to perpetuate certain
sporting events. Hut not one cent was left to ad
minister directly or indirectly, to the unfortunate, nor
a penny to sup|xirt great and noble men who are
working earnestly antl at a personal sacrifice to ad-
vance science, art or any movement that strives for
the betterment of the human race. On reading his
wW- we must conclude that he felt no kinship with his
kind. Whatever may he the amount, of the fortune
left bv Mr. Astor, lie earned but a very small fraction
of it. Most of it he interited, and its accretions were
the result chiefly of enhancing real estate values,
wheih lie did little or nothing to create, ft was an
unearned fortune, and tliat circumstance put him tin
der a sjiecial obligation to testify his indebtedness both
to Nature and to society.—Dallas Nm*s.
