Washington, D. C, May 27. (Special
. correspondence.) The debate this
... week In the senate upon the Philippine
question -Drought out two notable
1 jspeeches-those of Senators Hoar and
Wellington. Each was a masterpiece
n its way and attracted marked at
isntion from both sides of the chamber
. , Both speeches were replete with quo
dons from the speeches of "Webster,
' incoln, Sumner, Adams and other
teat expounders and defenders of the
onstitution; and from the papers of
vVashington and others.
It is a significant fact that in all the
discussion brought but by the Philip
pine war, no republican has ever
quoted from any great apostle of f ree-
dom either by his own party or of
another party. The constitution and
. the Declaration of Independence and
f. the Monroe doctrine are nerer referred
to except to find a reason for the avoid
ance of their teachings. '
It has remained for the democrats
in congress to sustain the teachings
. of the fathers of the republic, even as
. they passed the Teller resolution and
made possible the Cuban republic,
whose star is Just added to the con
sellatlon of the nations.
Is it not better that we deal with
v the Philiplnes as with Cuba and wel-'."-
come in the skies of the orient the ap
pearance of the star of another repub
lic? The house has passed a bill provid
ing for an educational test for Immi
grants. The benefits to be derived
therefrom are not to be underestimated
and the improvement in the character
of our citizenship cannot be denied.
Of the membership of the . present
house of representatives the popular
branch of congress 227 are lawyers,
nearly two-thirds of the whole. Of the
remaining 130 members, a variety of
professions are represented, but the
... number in each is paltry as compared
with the legal fraternity.
' Of the profession in whose cosmos

little can be said if numbers shall be
the test of publicity. Only seven
newspaper men have been sent to re
present their people in the lower house
of the 57th congress. There are, of
course, a great many more who point
. with pride to the fact that at some
period of their boyhood or early man
hood they have set type in the office
of the country paper whose editor has
:. done so much for the advancement of
his community, financially, morally
- and otherwise, and whose reward has
never been commensurate with the la
bor he has performed and the beneflc-
ence he has shed 'round about him.

"any time he was connected with the
newspaper business in even the remost-

and told his experience with a great
deal of pleasure.

I Ben Franklin Caldwell, who repre
sents the old Lincoln district in Illi
nois, came here in the 56th congress,
aftejr having been defeated in 1896 by
s( JjBnall plurality, and. since, having
overcome a normal republican major

is af typical democrat of the old school.

oif a farm near Springfield, preferring
the I communion with nature which
fajrrji life only can give, and entering

pleasant, of the honest, hard-working
ti ar of the soil. It is his close knowl-et'-gp
of the needs and desires of a
farming community and his willlng
nos to serve its interests that has sent
and' kept him here. I mention this fact
to j provd that since the prosperity of
tei nation is wholly dependent upon
t ,3 comfort and well-being of the
fcrjner, he who serves his country
bidt is he who has due regard for the
trjtlrests of the farmer, and his re
ad Is surest. He bulld3 best for
8cjjety who strengthens the foundation

I Daniel Linn Gooch, a Kentucky
democrat, represents the Sixth con
gressional district of that famed corn
er joh wealth, and is serving his first
U tin. Gooch is a druggist, and the
pnly one I believe in the house. He en

ysar previously by the death of his
parents. His early struggle to gain.
a a Education was a hard one, as many
llmjilarly circumstanced will testify,

hater held a public office until his
edition to congress and his expert -e
ace in this wise is one that call to

P rlre of a congressional seat.
Caldwell Edwards, a populist of
fontana. Is likewise serving his first
torfa. Jn congress; and as a result of
democratic and populist fusion a con
dition responsible for the sending of
a large number of . conspicuously able
fuen to Washington. Mr. Caldwell is
a practical farmer, has followed it as
a business all his life and is distinctive
a3 being of a class whose representa
jt:.vjps are too numerically small in our
lawmaking bodies.
Jishton C. Shallenberger, now serv
r his first term as the representative
pffthe people of the Fifth congres
sional district of Nebraska, bears the
junjque distinction of being the only
fco4sressman from our state at this
t'jae not a lawyer by profession, and
fs. an exception from an almost unbrok
en! rule of Nebraska politics, in this
egara. since the organization or tne

befger never was a candidate for public
office until his election to congress;
like Mr. Edwards he is here by the

Caldwell, he has had interests in

years finding a pleasanter occupation

tering into the usual experience of the
farlous and oftlmes soul-trying duties
that I doubt very much whether any
considerable number would be will
ing to forego its pursuit for the temp
tations of political place and power.
I cannot better describe this feeling
than to quote the comment made by
one of my Nebraska newspaper broth
ers a year or so ago upon another
brother who, after a temporary absence
from the editorial tripod, had resumed
it:
"He should take the gold cure for the
newspaper habit."
And the apt rejoinder which another
brother made and which will be best
appreciated by those to whom the ex
perience has come:
"He is taking the newspaper cure
for the gold habit."
It would appear, after all, that a man
who necessarily must have so large a
fund of information concerning public
men and measures as he who lives
up to the ideal of the newspaper editor
that of the great public educator
is the man whose services should be
required In lawmaking bodies. But
since the newspaper man is he who
generally assumes the lead in all great
public movements of whatsoever char
acter, he not only becomes the target
of all 'those who oppose the movement
but 'also of those who agree with
him on the wisdom of the movement
but are jealous of his leadership. And
this Is the end of political hopes the
graveyard of such ambitions.

of his business, which calls for tact

Mr. Shallenberger is a native of Illi
nois. His father was a member of the
Illinois legislature, contemporaneous
with the father of Hon. Wm. J. Bryan,
at the session before which Abraham
Lincoln and Stephen Douglas were
candidates for the United States sen
ate. Coming to Nebraska at an early
age and ever since active in the ma
terial growth of the state, he did not
become active in politics until 1896
when he become a pioneer in the bi
metallic movement, was elected the
Nebraska member of the National Bi
metallic league and made a whirlwind
campaign upon the stump. That cam
paign he made his first political speech
but he has developed so rapidly that
his reputation for powerful eloquence
extends far beyond the boundaries of
his own district and enables him to do
much for those whose cause he pleads.
Shallenberger is one of the youngest
members of congress, but his record
in the short time he has served is
highly commended by those convers
ant with the conditions, and his friends
believe a bright future is in store for
him in congress.

"Suburb of Hell"
Senator Bacon made a speech on
the Philippine bill the other day in
which he attacked the policy of re
concentration and likened it to the
policy of General Weyler in Cuba. Mr.
Bacon read a letter from an army of
ficer whom he knew personally and
for whose veracity he vouched, describ
ing one of the reconcentrado camps.
The letter said the camp was located
In a swamp where rain fell continually
and outside of which every living
thing was shot. The officer said there
were thirty cases of smallpox in the
camp and an average of five cases
were added each day. Clouds of
vampire bats circled continually over
the place awaiting the grewsome feast
certain to be afforded them each day.
The officer said that the camp was
"like some suburb of hell."
Foraker replied. His defense was
that the army had prepared these con
centration camps and forced the Fili
pinos into them solely because the
army loved them so much. They were
placed there to keep the ladrones and
other robbers of their own race from
murdering them. That settles It. The
reconcentratlon camps were for benev
olent and philanthropic purposes.

Amanda tHa Bill"
No case ever brought in the courts
wa3 ever given more publicity than
the one brought against the beef trusu
The attorney general gave the bill
his atentlon and he was aided by a
distinguished special attorney em
ployed for the occasion and by the fed
eral district attorney in Chicago. When
the bill came before the judge it was
found that it did not even ask for an
injunction or any relief from the court
and before and proceedings could be
taken the judge had to amend the bill
by his own action. It is not possible
that the three great trust lawyers pre
pared such a defective bill through
ignorance. It was so prepared by tii
rection of the administration. The
whole performance was a political fake
and the distinguished lawyers acted
well their part. No honest man can
come to any other conclusion from the
undisputed facts. Judge Tuley in dis
cussing the action of the court spoke
as follows:
"While I do not care to criticise
Judge Grosscup, my views on the mis
use of injunctions are well known. If
the packers and others are guilty I
believe they ought to have been in
dicted, given the presumption of in
nocence and the right to trial by jury,
and if found guilty sent to the peni
tentiary. Is it not time for congress
to call a halt upon the use of the in
junction by the United States courts?"
Regarding the action of Judge Gros
scup in, changing the prayer for In
junction to conform to his ideas, Judge
Tuley said:
"I do not think there Is any ground
for criticism on that point. A judge
has a right to change a bill In this
way. It is not unprecedented. 1 havs
often acted similarly. A point or some
phraseology in the original bill may
not be In line with the ideas of the
court and the latter may alter it. The
fact that the bill in this case was pre
pared after considerable deliberation
by the government's attorneys does
not argue that it is perfect. The court
might have grounds for desiring par
ticular changes.
"Though I think the government
authorities are in earnest in this mat
ter my opinion regarding the too lib
eral use of injunctions is unchanged.
It is evident that the president pro
poses to use the writ of injunction
as a club to hold the railroads and
the trusts in order and make them sub
servient to the executive power. This
is apparently his purpose.
"But does the president really mean
it, or is it a great bluff in the great
game of politics? While Mr. Roose
velt must be accorded a record of sin
cerity and honesty in public office In
the past, it must not be forgotten that
he is one of the shrewdest politicians
in the country."

FUN0TI0N0FJHE STATE
An Address by O. TV. Malar Bafore tha
L.aber L.yeemin, Lincoln, Nebraska,
May 4, 1909
(Continued from last week.)
There are certain things, or factors
which might be called elements, which
affect the people of a country as a
whole very much the same as light,
respiration and life blood affect the
human being. These so-called ele
ments when spoken of collectively are
usually called public utilities. With
out these public utilities the state can
not exist They are as essential to
the life of the state as light, air, and
water are to the life of man.
Money performs very much the same
function in a country as blood does In
the human body, and therefore should
be under the control of the state. The
government should not only have di
rection of the coining of money, but
should control the banking system of
the country as well, in order to pro
tect the common interests of all the
people. Money which i3 the measure
of values and the medium of exchange
ought never to be entrusted to private
enterprise, or the regulation of ita
quantity be farmed out to private cor
porations or placed In the hands of
individuals. Not only should the state
have full control of this so-called blood
of the country in order to keep it pure
and wholesome, but the state should
have charge of the channels of circu
lation as well, so that the veins and
arteries through which the life blood
of the nation must flow cannot become
clogged or polluted, or the channels
misappropriated or diverted so as to
turn them into instruments for fur
thering private greed or carry out the
projects of a particular faction or
some party interest instead of . serv
ing the common welfare and general
good.
Railroads are the commercial high
ways of industrial society; they are
the channels over which all the com
modities of life must pass and be
transported from one part of the coun
try to another. It is just as Important
to the health and life of the state that
these veins and arteries be kept open,
free and sound, as it is for the health
of an individual that his circulation
and respiration be free and undis
turbed. Transportation and the var
ious means of public communication,
education and sanitation, and the like,
should be performed by the state
through its government in its various
branches. Such functions, as these
should be performed by organized so
ciety in the interest of the public.
These functions cannot be saftly in
trusted to any other power, nor can
they be bo well performed in any other
war. The government is. under a
democratic form, the servant of the
people; it is the machine through
which the state does its work, and It
ought to perform all those functions
which affect society as a whole. All
those things which we call public utili
ties should be under the control of
the state, while the Individual should
be protected in his right to engage in-
the various lines of industry where
men can compete . with one another
upon an equal footing. This will pro
tect society In Its public rights and
Interests, and yet secure to the indi
vidual a sphere In which to act and
develop his highest possibilities.
But Just where shall we draw the
line? This is the question some of
you are already asking. Another says.
does not your argument ultimately
lead you into socialism? It is true that
the activities of the state are constant
ly extending themselves, and it might
seem as if the field of the individuals
might be encroached upon. But the
increase of state activity does not
necessarily mean a step towards social
ism, but it ought to mean only a more
permanent securing of the individual
in his private rights under the new
and existing social conditions.
The general welfare functions which
the state ought to exercise are I unc
tions that do not pertain to the life of
the state as a personality, but they
tend to raise the economic, intellectual
and moral condition of society. TJaese
functions may be classified under two
heads. I would term them socialistic
and non-socialistic functions. Those
functions that the state may assume
which might be exercised by private
enterprise I would call socialistic in
their nature, and when the state
through its agencies performs such
functions, to that extent, the freedom
of the individual may be said to be
curtailed. Public ownership and oper
ation of such enterprises as" street
railways, gas, water and electric light
plants, and the like, are examples of
socialistic functions performed by
municipalities. These functions, I be
lieve, ought to be exercised by public
authority, because these enterprises
are by nature monopolies, and In their
field of operation there can be no free
competition. Private interests as well
as the welfare of the public demands
that the state manage these enter
prises. All natural monopolies ought
to be controlled by the state in order
to protect both the individuals and so
ciety. If all the natural monopolies
in this country were owned and oper
ated by the government, trusts and
artificial monopolies would not have
such a power. An examination into
the basis of all Che trusts and artificial
monopolies of this country will show
that each and every one of them have
their roots firmly planted in natural
monopolies. If the railroads were
owned and operated by the public we
would get the greatest possible service
at the lowest possible rate, while un
der private enterprise we get the least
possible service at the highest possible
rate. This is true of all public mo
nopolies, and therefore the govern
ment ought to control all utilities of
this kind.
There are other non-essential func
tions which I believe the state ought
to exercise. They are social duties
which if not assumed by the state
might not be performed at all. These
are duties which are not primarily es
sential to the life of the state, yet they
are of such a nature that they will
promote the general welfare of the
people. These functions are usually
of an educational character, or are
measures which ought to be carried
out for the protection of the health,
morals, and for the general elevation
of the people. Under this head are
our public schools, state universities
and the various investigations which
are made by established governmental
bureaus, such as taking the census,
making surveys and gathering statis
tics. Public libraries, public parks,
sanitation, protection of forests and
native animals, all these and Innum
erable other elevating projects belong
to this branch. To this group of func
tions should also be added the many
governmental acts which result In
raising the plane of competition
through which organized society has
been enabled to transform environ
ment and through which the state ren
ders it possible for the Individuals to
become enlightened and increase their
opportunities. Hand in hand with so
cial development grow the character
istics which build up individuality.
The more complex society becomes the
more distinctive are the characteris
tics and the more dependent each be
comes upon the other yet, at the same
time, each person becomes more able
to rely upon his own individual efforts.
Socialists say that the state should
own and operate all the means of pro
duction and distribution. This, I be
lieve, would be an extension of the
activities of the state beyond its proper
bounds. It would take away from the
individual that Incentive and the hope
which private enterprise affords, and
lack of activity would take the place
of thrift and economy. The result
would be stagnation. The socialists
seek by their plan to overcome, what
they call, the competitive system.
They contend that their scheme will
secure to each individual the fruits of
his toll and will enable him to enjoy
his just share of all that Is produced.
Although, I believe, socialism to be
only a theory possibly an ideal state
which some have in mind, a condi
tion which I do not believe human
nature will ever permit no more than
pure Individualism has ever been pos
sible since society began, yet I be
lieve that it Is a good thing that we
have these socialistic friends who can
counteract the cold-hearted individ
ualists. Thus we are enabled the eas
ier to maintain the golden mean be
tween these two extremes.
In a word I would say that the func
tion of the state i3 to promote the gen
eral welfare. In order to do this the
state must first preserve its own ex
istence, the importance of which will
not diminish as society develops. Then
the state must secure to the Individual
the greatest possible degree of liberty
and secure to each one the widest pos
sible field for freedom of action by
protecting him against monopolies and
by guaranteeing to him free competi
tion which will stimulate progress and
develop in . every individual his high
est possibilities. Along with this the
state must direct the development of
the Individual so as to better fit them
for their duties as factors in the stata
and open to its citizens greater possi
bilities in general, for
"Men, high-minded men.
With powers as far above dull, brutes
endued
In forest, brake, or den,
As beasts excel cold rocks and bram
bles rude
Men who their duties know,
But know their rights, and, knowing,
. dare maintain,
Prevent the long-aimed blow.
And prush the tyrant while they rend
the chain;
These constitute a state."
"Thou, too, sail on O ship of state!
Sail on, O union, strong and great!
In spite of rock and tempest's roar.
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with
thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,
our tears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
Are all with thee are all with thee J"

Lepubllcan Logic
The way In which the charges of
cruelty and torture in the Philippines
have been met by the supporters of
Imperialism has closely resembled the
defense in the celebrated case of the
woman who had broken a borrowed
pitcher. She pleaded not guilty on
three grounds: First, she had not bor
rowed the pitcher; second, it was
broken when she borrowed it; third,
it was whole when she returned It. In
similar fashion the imperialist advo
cates tell us, almost in one and the
same breath, first, that few or no
cruelties have been committed; sec
ondly, that It Is a necessary and
proper feature of the war to resort to
cruel measures, and that they have
been justified by the success of the
campaign; and thirdly, that these
things were very bad Indeed, but that
they have been sternly punished.

The Schiller Piano hau always been the favorite with people wishing
a really good Piano at a moderate price. In short, it has not a
single equal at the price. Their success along this line has in
spired the company to attempt something higher. The new High
Grade Schiller is the result. This, like the medium grade, is the
best yet produced for the money. The price is necessarily some
higher, but just as low in proportion to quality.
