It has happened time and again with the flower of the presidential cabinets and it will doubtless happen many times in the future. The United States and the Isthmian canal can both doubtless survive without Mr. Shonts, efficient as his services have been; but that la not the point. The point Is the power of the trusts to grab off any man whom they may fancy, even from the service of the United States government Itself. The facts In the case seem to be that the New York Traction company, finding Itself discredited by the people, as tho transportation companies in Chicago are at present, desires at its head a man in whom the people have confidence. They have taken advantage of the advertising received by Mr. Shonts through his appointment to the chairmanship of the Isthmian canal as well as his own personal qualifications for the position, and have nailed him. It has gotten to such a pass that the United States cabinets and other positions of distinction under the government, take the form of a clearing house to which bank directorates and corporations apply when in need of a philosopher, guide and friend, finding the offices of the men they seek as an asset to the credit of the corporation

Grady and Raines a precious pair-

fifteen in favor of the resolution.

ceedings of our legislature bodies could be kept out of the papers! The condi
tion would be ideal from their point

faithless politicians squirm under the lash applied to them because of their
misdeeds. Indianapolis News.
THATS WHAT WE KNOW.
in London it has been decided that while Governor Swettenham may have
been a bit impolite he was "strictly within his rights" in ordering Admiral
Davis and his marines off the island
of Jamaica.
it tooK the British a long while to reach this conclusion, a matter which no one on this side of the Atlantic has
doubted for a moment.

that of a citizen imprisoned in a burn

has the right to order his would-be
rescuers from the premises as their
Invasion technically could be con
strued as burglary, but it would be neither wise nor decent for him to
do it.
LOOK THIS WAY, CONGRESS.
At each session of congress . uen the appropriations for rivers and harbors are made the people of the Calumet region In Indiana are accustomed to peruse the list of cities which have been benefitted by the all-wise leglsislative body that opens this barrel of pork each year and wistfully wonder why they do not get their share. The Calumet region is now one of the jnost prosperous industrial regions in the United States. The nxt census will show that the population has more than doubled in the past ten years. Capital will hare spent millions of dollars in converting a barren waste of sand dunes and scrub oaks into a humming, pulsating, industrial community.
It is safe to say without exaggera
tion that there Is no place in the United
States where there are as great possi blllties for river and harbor improve
ments, where there is a river paralell
to the shore of Lake Michigan which
If connected by the three harbors al
ready projected, would provide forty or flftv miles of dockage and make avail
able hundreds of ideal factory sites. Yet it is a fact that the little Mich
igan town of Grand Haven with its 6.000 inhabitants, with not one hun
dredth of the actual or possible Indus
trial development that there Is in this region is enabled year after year to
secure governmental help in improving a harbor that is seldom used except by
excursion steamers in the summer.
Ludington. a struggling Michigan
town which a few years ago was noth
lng but a lumber camp, and which is now only connected by rail with a stub
line of the Perre Marquette railroad,
a city that will not reach the stage of development that Hammond has
reached In twenty years, was given
$889,087 for harbor improvement.
Saugatuck, which is only a village at the mouth of the Kalam;xuo river and
never pretended to lo n ore that a sleepy summer resort, was allotted $75000 for for deepening and widening
of its harbor.
There are others in the list, many of them, and the people of Hammond,
East Chicago. Indiana Harbor and Gary
are asking themselves why It is that the head of the pork barrel is always
opened towards these favored cities while the Calumet region gets only
what It is able to pull through the bunghole. If there was but one reason for the amalgamation of the cities of the Calumet region and that reason was that the cities working together might secure a more liberal appropriation from rongress for the improvement of the harbors of the Calumet region, that teason would be sufficient. And if there was but one reason for making the occasion of dedicating the federal buUulng amalgamation day and that reason was the opportunity that would be afforded to secure a concert of the cities of the Calumet region for the purpose of demanding from congress our share of the rivers and
vrhrrs appropriation that reason
Would be sufficient.
The reason for this condition of af
fairs is said to be the fact that the
government will not contribute to im rrovement of rivers or harbors unles
they are of Interstate or international Importance but It will take a long time to convince the people of this portion of Indiana that this is not an excuse
n subterfuge rather than a real
reason.

Stenographers' Morals. Under this title the New York World
dicusses the recent proposition ui a
New York preacher for a stenographers' guild which brought to the World
many letters from stenographers that
declare that the moral piuans m me business were fewer than in other. The
World says:
It is chiefly in 10-cent magazines,
Tenderloin comedies and comic supplements that the employer trifles with
the innocent affections of his pretty
stenographer. In actual me ne wrings
his hands and wishes to heaven that business colleges would teach girls how to spell. The attitude of the stenographer toward her employer is more
than likely to be of the l-leei-sorry-
for-his-poor-wife kina. l- ew men are heroes to their typewriters. A stenographer who has just finished trans
cribing thirty or forty letters is not in danger of flaming into Sapphio passion for a man who growls because she
failed to turn his simplified grammer Into conventional English.

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, Jan. 2 4. Dullness prevaded the stock exchange to the exclusion of every other feature. Despite higher prices from London on the American rails, there was no enthusiiasm displayed here at the opening. Barring a little spasmodic rally in St. Paul, Union and Southern Pacific, Atchison and Sugar early in the session, the market lapsed into a listless affair with professionals about the only ones trading and their operations consisted of sales and purchases for small prof

CHIEF JUSTICES DO NOT RESIGN.
WITH THE EDITORS. Self-Accusing House.
Pity the poor congressman who
wanted to consider the salary-raise question from the viewpoint of public
policy. If his judgment led him to
favor $2,500 a year more he knew that
he would be accused of being anl
mated solely by a mean desire for private gain; if he opposed the increase
he knew that his collegues and a large
section of the public would believe tha
he was merely controlled by fear o
his constitutents was hypocritically
trying to pose as better than others
Nevertheless, although full allow
ance be made for his condition, the wildest eulogist of the house will find
difficulty In excusing yesterday's be
havlor. Why was there no roll-call
But one explanation is possible. Why
did the house not vote the increase before rather than after the election?
Again but one explanation is possible. Why did It not defer the increase until March 4, 1909? More than two-thirds of the present house are members of
the next one, and with tho increase go
ing Into effect March 4 next it is im
possible to assert that these particular congressmen have not raised their own salaries.
The worst fooled men in the United
States will be the congressmen who by preventing a roll-call, think they have
prevented their connection with the legislation becoming known. There were reporters and visitors in the gallery and a roll-call will be gradualy made up not an official one of course, but one whose substantial accuracy will be accepted. Will it be safe to prevaricate when, In convention or on the stump, the specific question is put of whether the candidate voted for or against what will be called the "grab"?
The house, by Its sneaking and covert methods, has manufactuerd suspicion against Itself has made it more likely that the congress elected In 190S will differ In personnel form the one elected last fall. New York Globe.
Chief Justices do not resign. From
John Marshall s time till now none has resigned. Taney, Chase and Waite died in office. Mr. Fuller has no in
tention to do otherwise, and is in good health. Nor under any circumstances would he agree with a republican
president to resign, to enable the latter
to name a republican to succeed him.
The press can not know the sort
of democrat Mr. luller it. it can not
know the force of the custom which
makes the chief justiceship an obliga
tion for life, as well as an inviolable
life honor. To be sure, Mr. Chase was suspected of desiring the presidency, but he held the chief justiceship till he died. Mr. Fuller regards his office as of equal rank with that of the presi
dent and as a place of higher dignity because of longer service.
at the final close this afternoon. me
buying was ascribed to houses with Boston connections where the boom in
stocks has been in full swing
during the past week. ihe meiai situation continues strong, the best
grades of copper are eagerly bought at 25 cents per pound. The boom in coppers seems a legitimate one and
the fact that it has not been more benefical to Amalgamated Copper seems surprising.

POWER OF TRUSTS
VS. GOVERNMENT.
The fact of the resignation of Theodore Perry Shonts from the chairmanship of the Isthmian canal to take the management of the Interborough ptreet railway system of New York, is significant insofar as It exemplifies
the might of the trusts as compared
with that of the government.
The fact has been demonstrated over and over again, too frequently to attempt the enumeration of ' Individual

Accidents in Mines The Engineering and Mining Journal
shows that In 1905 more than 2.200
lives were lost In our mines, while In ten years 15,000 miners have been killed. The rate to the thousand in 1S95
was 2.7. This fell to 2.4 In 1987, but rose to 3.5 in 1902, the 1905 rate was
3.44. The actual number Is believed to be greater because the smaller mines were not reported. In England
governmental scrutiny has minimized
the loss by explosions, but there is a foolhardiness about handling mine machinery that apparently constitutes an irreducible minimum. The Journal
goes on to say:
Insufficient protection from live
electric wires and coal-cutting ma
chines seems to be the cause of many deaths. Laws are needed to reauire
proper shielding of the dangerous parts
of mining machines. The dans-erous
parts of mining machines should not be exposed, but should be shielded by some device; some of them are shield

Josiah Flynt Williard, better known to the public as Josiah Flynt, whose
death at Chicago was announced yesterday, was a "born" tramp. In his writings 011 tramp life and on various phases of crime with which ho bocame acquainted during his wanderings, he professes to have taken to
the road for the sa.e of engaging in sociological studies, but that is sheer
pretense. His travels began when he
was a mere boy arid before he had any thought or knowledge of sociological matters.
The "curse of the wandering foot"
was upon him, coming from who knows what source. In a current magazine
article from his pen, writing Impersonally and of tramps In general he
seems to ascribe tho propensity to
heredity. "Laziness, loafing, wanderlust and begging," lTe says, "are to
day what they have ever been quali
ties and habits that are passed on
from generation to generation, practically Intact." This does not apply
to him so far as his Immediate an
cestry is concerned, for he came of
most reputable parentage, his father being a brother of the late Frances Willard, and his mother a cultured
woman whoso father was one of the
founders of Northwestern university.

I Touse a Good Laugh. Washington, Jan. 24. While the house was considering the clause of the pension bill that cuts the number of pension agencies from eighteen to nine Xorris of Nebraska wanted to know what actual saving there would be if the payment of pensions wan
conducted entirely from Washington. "About a half million dollars," replied Gardner. "What objections aro there against making Washington the distributing point for all the pension business of the country?" asked Norris. "Theoretically, and from a business point of view, there are absolutely no objections, but from a political point of view there are eighteen objections," replied Gardner, a sally that was followed by a hearty outburst of laughter.

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, Jan. 24. WHEAT Al
though the cash situation continues strong and foreign markets responded
liberally to our advance of yesterday, wheat did not maintain the early advance established. The early prices were the highest of the day, the May option selling at 792- Later a selling movement began which brought about a reaction of a cent a bushel, the May selling at 7Stfc at the close. Some of the shrewdest traders on the floor were liberal sellers on the advance, believing the set back a natural one. Sales of wheat to the seaboard were about 40,000. Minneapolis reported a good mill
ing demand for the better qualities of grain. The market closed rather weak. CORN Early trade in this cereal was higher, but later prices eased off in sympathy with the other markets. Considerable selling pressure was disclosed at anything over 46 for the May option. It is believed that the bull
party that has been so prominent recently was selling under cover to realize some of the profits. Receipts are
'increasing slowly, farmers are disposed
to sell more freely. The market closed steady with a decline of a half a cent for the day. OATS Held extremely strong all during the session. Influential interests were supporting, tLe market and
