Mr. Bryan's Question Box.
Mr. Bryan comes back at the new
third-term party, and its candidate,
with "a' voljey of questions, which
must make a hole in his supply of
interrogation marks. Here are a few
of them ' ', ; ' .. ' j
.1. Would a new party have been
organized at this time if Mr. Roose
velt were not a candidate for pres
ldent? , -...I.,"-'.' .':j'::
2. Would Mr. Rooseevlt have fav
ored the organization o fa new party
had any one besides himself suffered
defeat at Chicago by President Taft?
1 3. Would Mr. Roosevelt .have re
garded the republican bosses as an
insuperable objection' to . the 'repub
lican party if he had succeeded in
seating enough of his delegates to
give him a majority in the conven
tion? -" . , ,' t '
4. If. Mr. Roosevelt bad controlled
the national committed by one vote,
and had seated enough: to his south
ern delegates, to, dominate- the con
vention, would he not regar,d.the re
publican party as the people's party,
and the only organization to be
trusted? ; ' ''
1 5. A third term an honor de
clined by Washington and Jefferson
and withheld, from Grant opens the
door to any number of terms;., what
energenqy requires it? - '
From the context and , earmarks,
indications are that there are a lot

Bull Moose and the Workers.
"Mr. Perkins is a very rich man,"
said Teddy' in rep'ly to a 'question.
"He declared that he had come to
the conclusion that the country was
unsafe," and he went on to explain
that Mr.. Perkins had said he wanted
better corltion brought About and
that only T. R. could do it. "I want
tham brought about," said Mr.j
Perkins. to. Mr. Roosevelt, "so that
when my .children grow up this coun
try will be & Safe place for them, and!
a safe place for my friends' chil
dren." V ' '" '-. J '. ' '
And when. Mn Perkins, was thus'
saying to Mr, Roosevelt, the New
York state factory investigating com
mittee was taking the sworn testi
mony of;, glfl workers, employed at
the Oeborn twine factory, of which
concern' Mr.; Perkins is a director.
Girls in age' ranging from. 1ft to 19
years, testified that they 'worked ten
hours per night, and earned from $7
to 8 per week. The conditions of
work were dust, darkness, heat and
other factors ' that make for the
breaking down of health. Mr. Per
kins is lso;a director in the" United
States corporation .which maintains a
twelve-hour day in its. mills.
i His solicitude, for the, children of
himself and friends is most natural,
but' why should not he show some
consideration' for the children who
stand on their feet ten hours a night
in his twine factory? He has prom
ised that. plenty of. money will be
provided to aid the battle the bull
moose proposes to pull off at Arma
geddon, but is his influence so little
that he. must first have made Mr.
Roosevelt president again before he
arges 'his : fellow directors of these
big companies to favor better, work
ing conditions? ::
Less than two years ago the De Molne
city council passed an ordinance reduc
ing the price of gas from fl.00 per 1,000
eublc feet to 90 cents. Immediately the
gas company secured an Injunction from
the federal court restraining the- enforce
ment of the ordinance on the ground that
the proposed rate was not remunerative.
Previously the company, by gradual cuts,
reduced gas rates from tl.30 tq. tl.00 Per
1,000 cubic feet. In the case just ' de
cided, Judge Smith MePherton appointed
Judge Robert O. Sloan a special master
In chancery to take testimony, pass upon
the questions of fact and to recommend
the law. ' The master '.Consumed six
months in hearing the testimony of ex
perts employed -by both sides and t In
listening to the arguments of opposing
attorneys, and submitted Ws report last
April. In tha Intervening months various
abjections to the report were beard by
udge McPherson and disposed of, ie
iultlng In the decision handed down last
week.
; Judge McPherson's decision, as an
nounced In fh dispatches. Is a victory
for the city. The court dismissed tho
application of tha gas company for a
permanent Injunction and declares the
ordinance passed by the council valid.
A provision Is inserted In the decree,
that If, after a three-year' trial of th
90-ccnt rate, the gas company can. show
on better ground that the reduction is
confiscatory and does not give reason
able remuneration for service, the easa
may be reinstated in Judge McPherson's
Court and tried again. The immense ex
penses of litigation already incurred,
however, are likely to prevent its ever
coming Into the lower court again.
Sixty days from the date of the decree,
the temporary Injunction and restraining
order will be vacated, according to the
decision, but the 90 cents rata will not be
come effective until the supreme court
has handed down an opinion. The appeal
bond of tha company has been fixed at
$5,000. It Js probable that the court will
require that the 1100,000 bond required of
the company as a guarantee of rebates
to customers for gas used between tfl-s
time the ordinance went Into effect. De
cember 27, 1910. and the final decision In
the courts be increased to an amount suf
ficient to cover rebates that may be
come due by the time tha snprem court
decision Is announced.' If the supreme
court sustains Judg McPherson, rebates
of X0 cents per 1009 cubic fast will- hava
to be paid by the gas- company t all
Its patrons who, can show receipts datad
late than- December 2T. 1910, when th
city ordinance went into effect. In th
meantime the dollar rat will continue to
operate unll the final decision has been
announced. ' ; - :' "
Iowa come In for liberal criticism In
the , opinion of Judge McPharsim, Who
states that the excessive costs of litiga
tion and unusual delay concerned In the
present case could hare been avoided if
Iowa, like other states, had a law creat
ing nonresident city commissioner, to act
with recognised absolute authority- In
public service controversies over rates,
"With all our . boasted advancement," h
declares, "Iowa is a laggard In this mat
ter and will continue as such until thee
rata makings are taken from th power
of city councils. Appeal to tha courts
will seldom be taken from the findings
of such a tribunal." -
.High compliment Is paid Judg Sloan
for the masterly manner In which be
tried the Important case. Judge McPher
son said:
"It is most gratifying to th court to
learn that counsel on both, sides agree
that learning, patience, fairness and all
the qualification a master In chancery
should possess, ar evidenced by nearty
one year's; work by Judg Sloan in this
oas. Th court deem ft appropriat to
make of record th statement that th
administration of Justice has been fur
thered by th untiring industry of th
matter, whose record in thin ca is In
keeping; with his long time servio as an
Iowa judge..,
' All costs Of th action were taxed
against the gas company.
HUMORS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Why Be Serious While
' Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Sine It I th evidence of everybody
and his neighbor, whose opinions are
worth having,-that this great period of
prosperity will not be affected by th
political campaign, everyie who has a
sens of humor will feel tho better for
looking at humorous phase of that
which- Is so vital to candidate of all
shades of political color.
American at all times, except during
those '. Intense daya preceding and during
the war, and also th period of recon
struction,' have refused to take their
'campaign . seriously as th people of
foreign countries do, especially those
whom we call our British cousins, Illus
trated by Dickens In hi satire of "Pick
wick Papers." We hav a way of being
"rich In saving .common sense" tV In
saying that, no matter what th objur
gations of a campaign and the result of
an election under all ordinary clreum
tances, the businesses and pleasure will
go on Just a befor. . r i
Th first streak of humor, if soma of
Smile Makers Abound f
the utterances of alt ef th eandldate
be excepted, ; is found in certain esti
mates , ef managers of th republican,
democratic and progressive parti. Mr.
Hilles of the party of th first part
ha carefully scanned th "situation' and
has mad th Interesting discovery that
tha party ha represents will win th
members of th electoral college In
thirty-four states. Josephu Daniel,
Manager McCombs being ill, announces
for. th democrats that they ar sure to
have the. elector In thirty-eight state.
Th bull moo Statistician ha figured
to a dot that hi party will carry thirty
on states.
Singular, indeed, how they all cling to
th thirties. ' la it suggestive that com
one of them will feel Ilk 90 cents atar
th election?
This Is a grand total of 103 states! It
Is evident there must b a mistake some
where and that figures really can He; and
this Is one of the early humors of th
campaign.. There will be others.

PREPARING FOR CROP MOVEMENT
, Railroad Anticipating the Fall Rush of Business. '
, New York Journal of Commerce.
During the relatively dull business of
th last two year, and since the failure
to secure a general advance In railroad
rates, we have heard much of the in
ability of th railroad to provide ade
quate facilltle fo! an increase of traffic
when a revival of activity come9. now
such a revival appears to bo in sight. In
fact, to have already begun, and we are
told that the railroads have somehow
raised the necessary funds and are rap
Idly receiving additional equipment for
what promises to be an uncommonly
heavy traffic; at least during the crop-
moving season. Many orders must nave
been given soma time ago. - The Car
builder aro notl only exceptionally busy,
but the roads are having large deliveries
of completed equipment, : including loco
motives a well as car, and are getting
to be well prepared for the traffic to
come. They appear noi 10 nave lurgui-
ten th lesson of th busy time five and
six years ago when the lines became con
gested and movement was delayed
through Insufficiency of rolling Btock.
The prospect of large crops haa much
to do with the present activity in pro
viding for Increased traffic, but the need
stems to have been anticipated by the
large order which have been already
filled and are how being filled. Good
crops and a large movement of agricul
tural product mean prosperity for tha
farmers and this mean a' buying ' ca
pacity for manufactured article. - That
helps materially to stimulate th pro
duction and distribution of such article,
which In turn mean traffic for railroad
in various direction It also mean
more employment for capital and labor
In a variety of Industries besides those
of manufacturing and transportation, and
accelerated activity, in trad and all th
processes of exchange. In short, un
less all signs fail. It signifies a gradual
rpread of renewed prosperity, which I
quite cheering alter long waiting, though
we have not had real, depression since
190$. Since something of a false start a
year after that we have simply, been
working rather slowly and laboriously on
the road to recovery. The period of con
valescence seems now to be about over.
SPEAKING ABOl'T CHECKS.
Archbold's,' Perkins', McCormlck'a
. "'.'. and Otbrs. .-'
Washington Herald. ,
Senator Penrose's assertion that Arch
bold's check for 325,000 waa used In th
campaign of 1904 to aid In th election ef
Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency
bears all the outward signs of probability.
In those days Mr. Roosevelt did not
hesitate to ask for and accept any money
from any source so long as It assisted
in the righteous cause of his election. It
Is a matter of record that he sought Mr.
Harrlman'a contribution and that $269,000
was thrown into his Jackpot at a crucial
moment when funds wer low.
But speaking of check, how many ha
Mr. Perking signed sine th steel trust
began It noble effort to elect Mr. Roose
velt to a third term? And how much
money did Medill McCormlck dispense St
Chicago? And Who I aupplylng th funds
which Will enable Mr. Roosevelt to tour
from Maine to California and from the
lakes to the gulf?
These are questions which the leader Of
the purity party ought to answer, but
which he will persistently Ignore.
