JUST AX OPINION.
Senator Jones somewhere around
the last of March gave it as his
opinion in the Senate which he
adorns by his presence that the Al
aska mail is the best ever pro
vided.
If we judge of the Senator’s gen
eral knowledge upon public affairs
by his intimate acquaintance as
sumed in the matter of his ap
praisement of the mail service in
Alaska, we probably reach a correct
notion of his ability generally speak
ing, and realize why from time to
time the peculiarities of the Senate
have afforded so much amusement to
the Gods.
ONE CUMMINS.
Senator Cummins of Iowa has been
mentioned as a republican possibility
for the nomination for president.
But Cummins has ju3t as much
chance of receiving it as Martin
Luther had of being canonized a
saint.
Cummins in a moment of righteous
indignation expressed himself only
too candidly concerning militarism
and preparedness; denounced travel
on armed liners and registered a
general objection to turning the
country into armed camp in terms
similarly to those uttered by Wilson
before won over by the preparation
ists. For that reason is Cummins
an impossibility and Ilia chance of
nomination at the hands of the re
publican party about negligible. The
in-usent. time calls for a tire-eater ot
abnormal voracity for the flames.
Such a one say a3 Root or—Roose
velt.
itAimixo imAMATir ckitic.
An interesting case was settled
last winter in New York courts when
a dramatic critic of the New York
Times who was excluded by the
Shuberts from tlieir theaters because
his criticism had been severe,
brought suit to fcrce the defendants
to admit him as a critic. Judgment
was found for the Shuberts and the
court upheld the view that they had
every right to exclude any person ex
co«t for reasons of i. . «... -.1 or
color.
Whether the theater? ware within
their rights or not in thus antag
onizing the Times is a question that
is unimportant. But it soems very
poor judgment. Any one knows that
correct theatrical criticism is al
most unknown in the United States,
and they will find the reason In the
liberal advertising that is provided
for all the papers by the theaters.
The theaters subsidize the papers
and the, papers in turntboost the most
absurd plays and the most imposs
ible acting.
There aro no great dramatic cri
tics in New York and Chicago. No
critic ever reached the standing ot
recognition that Shaw reached in
Dondon or that Scott made for his
paper the Daily News. Trenchant
and biting criticism may have a sa
lutary effect, but it is impossible to
imagine a thriving advertising bus
iness amounting to thousands daily,
keeping company with the truth as
to the plays advertised.
TIIH It KA SON.
J'o you want to know the reason
wl:/ Brandeis is opposed a» an as
sociate Justice for the Supremo
Bench? Well here it is; it is spoken
by himself in an article published
in tho American Magazine for Febru
ary 1911 and in an interview by
Urnett Poole.
Among a lot of other radical stuff.
Brandies gave his yievvs upon pro
perly and its relation to society:
“Property must be subject to that
control of property which is essenti
al to the enjoyment by every man
of a free individual life. And when
property is used to interfere with
that fundamental freedom of lit
for which property is only a means,
then property must no coruroiiea
This applies to the regulation of
railroads and trusts, public utility
and all big industries tnar control
the necessities of life. Laws regu
lating them far from being infringe
ments upon liberty are in reality
protections against infringements
upon liberty.
The whole industrial world is in
a state of ferment. It is in the
main peaceful and to a certain ex
tent silent, but there is felt today
very widely the inconsistency in this
condition of political democracy and
industrial absolutism. The people
are beginning to doubt whether in
the long run democracy and absolut
ism can co-exist in the same commu
nity; beginning to doubt whether
there is really a justification for the
great inequalities in the distribution
I of wealth".
That's what Brandels said, and
there is no reason to think he has
j changed his views; at least nothing
, has occurred which would incliue
| one to believe he found cause to do
i1 so. Now how in the world can one
Imagine him sitting on the same
i bench with Rule of Reason Hughes
i or Private Car Lurton or the Honor
i able Chief Justice White? Is it
t any wonder Taft who had his own
. little hopes and ambitions should
i join with other lawyers in protest
How can any man, who does not be
, lieve firmly that there is only one
God and that God is property rights,
be allowed to sit on the Supreme
• t tench?
HOW IT’S DONE.
Every one wonders from time to
I lime why government supplies are
| sold so cheaply when sales are
| ordered of superfluous or not need
ed stores. The fact is that while
j the public is gouged, the govern
| meat is treated well by the big com
: panics.
■ j Thus while gasoline outside was
, selling at 23 cents a gallon, Uncle
i Sam was buying all lie wanted for
. 1 1 cents. Carbon sheets were selt
• lug to private Individuals at 75 cents
Ju hundred sheets while Uncle kmn
• boiighr all he wanted to use at 23 or
30 cents. Typewriter ribbons that
cost $4.50 a dozen outside (and
$12.00 a dozen in Nomej were sold
to Uncle Sam at $2.00 a dozen
Cement is sold a half a dollar cheap
er to Uncle Sam ar.d bacon and pro
visions similarly at much reduced
prices.
It is customary to think tliaj the
government is hcl.l up by the larger
i firms but quite the contrary is the
, case. It is the dear people that are
; the goats and pay handsomely over
; what is charged the government.
But why if robates are illegal on
railroads, should not rebates in pur
. chasing supplies also be regarded as
i illegal
THU BUSINESS SIDE OF POLITIC.
When the Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce was examining
witnesses on the matter of the Child
Labor Bill, A. .1. M'Kelway drew at
tention to the fact that 45 of 145
southern representatives only voted
against the measure. Senator Pom
erenec asked what were their ob
jections to the bill, and M'Kelway
said they were mostly “constitution
al". And asked again by Pomerene
upon what were those constitutional
objections based, M'Kelway replied
with the, significant answer that
ought to sink into the brain of the
dullest senator ' who heard him
“The number of constitutional objec
tions raised by the forty-five south
ern representatives were gauged by
the number of cotton mills in each
representative's district”.
That is what is known as economic
determinism. The representatives
knew precisely and unerringly what
and why they represented.
