The party is bigger than apy individ unl leader wnd the party is greater than any sumber of paity bosses: otherwise it would have been huried and forgot ten jong age. For the party’s sake, let ts hope thut the sext National Uon: vention . may convene with at least balf a daren capable, formidable and varnest eandidates secking the nomin ation. Let us hope, further, that these candidates will be supported by various state and sectional delegations and by all organized enthusiastic armies of fol {lowers. The party needs preliminary A training such as this to perfect its or ganization—aor rather, to ereate an or- | gunization. Who ksows anvihing abont the National Democratie Organization today? Who is the bead of 11! What does it amount to? What has it aceomplished? The sart of state organizations that will develop sueh formidable and eapable candidates will, at the same time, develop the nuelit that in the end will prefect a national organization worthy of the name. At the same time it will naturally eliminate the so-called ‘‘bhoss’’ politiclans who, for vears have been the curse of the | Democratic party. Eliminate the | Murphys, the Connors and the Sullivans, and pot in their stead leaders who will serve the party rather than self. Sueh party bosses as these have used their positions in the party for purely personal advantage and have been misleaders instead of honorable directors of the affairs of the party. . It is true that mueh of the strength of the Demoecratic party lies in the | cities, and that our ecity party organ. izations are most powerful. But do they use their great power for the intrest of the Democratic party? It is not necessary to wateh eity politics {long from the inside, however, to understand the curse of party bossism. ) For instance. watch Chicago and Sulli- . vapism. Sullivaunism is no difference i than Murphyism or any other ism dominated by a party boss. For years ially of Chicago, just as he saw fit

Nevertheless, so long as these " powerful organizations are per mitted to dietate the pelicies and iewders of the national Democraecy, it bebooves the National I}!!,}iﬂm'_rary to sev to it that these organizations are roally reprosentatives of the best in the party, : : The party must found s principles on the standards set by Jeflerson-—that promise the greatest goad for the great jest pumber.. The men who man the party organization ami the candidates themselves - must he inspired by an honesty and eourage that will esable rthem to fight the hattles of the party with the same spirit that animated Jurkson in his fight on the National Bank. The principles that Jefferson so advanewl must be applied to present day veeds if the party is to bé made darmidable and effective. But the party {must be a party of progress instead of a party of protest, It must forget its fads and faucies and seek to solve preséntday troubles by applving com mon sense prisciplea amdl | modern methods, It wmust stand for grest patighal guestions anid pot for question able local isspes. The silver guestion Bever was a nationsl question--it was the fad of the fanaties of a few states The guaranty of sational bank deposits has never heen tested suflicientiy or seasoned sufliciently to make it a Jead ing wational isswe. S 0 when a party makes sieh questions as these the dominant dssues of a eampaign, it demaon: wtrates that the leadership of the party iB5 not in the hands of men of wide politienl and business experience. Loecal transportation questions in cities may determine the vote of the party in many of the citv elections, but 3t dors not thershiv become & national issue fMunicipal ownership of street railways may be found in the platforms of the party in many of the eity municipal Jeamprigns, bat it does not thus berome a nationnl demoeratie prineiple. The Prohibition party is an example of a party founded oo one prineiple and i 1 has mever heen anything but a party of protest and can pever hope to be snceessful ss a 8 great politieal party, The Democratic party must not be a party of one principle or a party of protest. - It at onee becoames the great national grouch and not Withstanding Jthe fact that the pessimists make more noise than the optimists, the truth | remains that the aptimists control and by right ought to eontral. In shert, the party has suffered in the past by advaneing the eurealls of pelitiesl quacks which bave been directed unjwisely and ineffeetively at some symp{toms -and not at the fundamental causes of national distréss~ In short, jtoo often the doctors in our party have ftreated the pimple on the forehead Ly applying local applications rather than jattacking the seat of the disease in the patient’s witals, :

~ The purposes of a party in power or a party that expects to be in power; should be to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity, These are big national questions, uot little loeal questions. Justice has been insured to a great degree, but our system of Jjurisprudence is full of faults. It falls far short of the system in vogue in England, for instance, and ;the great ery agaiust court judiciary today is against the partiality shown ?b}" judges and the deecisions of their eourts undoubtedly influenced. The ery is for brainier and more honest judges and a freedom form political influence. Much of this ery has been directed against the federal judges who are appointed for life, and who roa)i}' owe nothing to the people. The removal of a federal judge is almost an impossibility. Impeachment is the only remedy, and what chance has this agency against a corporation judge—when Congress that prosecutes and tries is also controlled by the same trusts. Such judges, feeling secure behind this antiquated bulwark ef protection,.continue to hand down trust decisions' while the people protest in vain aand

The wrintion of the trouble does not rest with an sbsolute destruction of the trast, or rather a destrustion of the swe uf enmbioed eapital. It I 8 only when the trust organization sttempts to G te power to prevent the vrdingry laws of ecanomics to operate that it hecomes offensive. ‘ e Let us review a typical ense of trust organization and then siiggest a rem o, : The three grestest trnsts in the country. today are the Standard (il Trust, the Steel Trust and the Beef Trust., Lot us take, for instanes, the Beef Trust, which is the grentest trust i existence so far as the eontrol of commioditios is concerned. The inerease in price of oil does not aflect many of the socalled ecommon people, few of them are affected by the price of steel, but the price of meat aflects every body. Just hew does the Heef Trust confrol prives. And et us see just what the Beef Trust is : The National Packing Company sow under investigation by the Fedeéral grand jury in Uhicdge, is the parent or bodding " eompany of the Beef Trust Its three great factory are Armour & Company, Swift & Company and Nelson Muoreis & Company, These three facturs in turn control the following ecom. paties: Armour controls the Armour tar Lines. Armour Fertilizer Works, Armour Soap Warks, Armeur Ulne Works, Armour Curled Hair and Felt Works, Armour Printing Works, Inion Stoekyards Co., Sioux ity Btockyards Co. 81 Louix Steckyards Co., FPort Weorth Stockyards o, Kansas City Rtockyards Co, and Atlaptic Hotel Supply Co., all having a eapitalization fof something over twenty million dollars; Swift & Compuoy with a eap italization of over sixty million dollars, controls the Swift Pertilizer Works, Swift Refrigerator Trapsportation (o, Swift - Livestock Transportation Co., the Swift Reef Company, of England, John P, Squire & Co., Boston Packing and Provision CUo, Nerth Packing and Provision (o, New FEagland Dressed Meat (o, Libhy, MeNeill & Libhby, Sperry & Barnes, Union Stoekvards Co. of Omaha, Fort Werth Stockyards Co,; St Joseph Stockyards Co., Bt Paunl I Stockyards Co, and Kansas City Stock: vards Co.; Nelson Morris & Company, with a capitalization of over ten -mitlion, eontrol Morris Beef (o, of | England, Fairbank Canning Co., Meorris far Lines, St. Louis National Btock. {yurds Co, Bt Joseph Stoekyards Co., New York ity business and National Hotel Sopply Co., and each of these great factors has its own gemersl plant in Chieago at the sockyards. In addition 1o these, the other factors in the heef trust are GO H. Hammond & C 0.,, Hammond Packing Co., Omaha Packing Co,, Gernmuan Ameriean Provis ion o, Anglo-Awerican Provision Co, Fowler Packing o, Fowler Canadian Contisental Packing Co, 8t Louis Dressed Beef Co,, United [hoessod Beef Lo of New York, New Yors Butchers’ liressedd Beef Co,, Hutehinaon acking Co. of Kavsss City, Haddy Bros of Kagsas City, Sturtevant & Haley Sup. ply Uo. of ‘B&stvn,'}!o{m?lma Haotel Supply Co., J. 8. Barley & Co., Adams Bros, H. €. Durly Co., and Darling & o, all having a capitalization of about fifteen million, and all of these are con trolled in one grand One Handred and Five Million Dm Beef Trust, by the | National Packing Co., of Chieago. The purpose of the National Paeking Company is to fix and determine buying and selling prices for these various or.

ganizations, and this is the old econom1e law of supply and demand fixing prices is relegated to the rear as a relie of barbarism The committee of this company absolately decides on what shall be paid for stock. For instance, they deeide that hogs shall sell for $5.10 today. At the headquarters of this compeny in the Exchange Building at the Btockyards, this price is announced to all of those agents of its various companies who are to bid on hogs that day. All of the independent bidders wait until this price is announced on the first ‘‘buy’’ and frem that time on, with the exception of different prices for different grades, no other price is bid by the trust, or by an independent packer - during that day. ‘The same scheme is worked for all live stoek. If the packing houses are low in supplies, the price is pushed up to encourage shipping, and as a surplus is produced, the surplus is stored in the eold storage houses and the seiling supply kept normal so that the selling price is not forced down. If the suppiy on hand becomes excesive, naturally the buying price is dropped a bit and the stock shipments are held out, but this does not affect the selling price, as the surplus is held in the eold storage bouses, and in this way the old danger of fluetuation in the market is avoided Fresh meats may be preserved in these cold storage houses indefinitely

There sre po eriminal laws on the statute book today that can destroy these trusts. The laws, as they stand ftoday, fix the penaity as a fine sgainst Jibe guilty corporation, and even at that fipes dre imposed only against those who ‘‘knowingly '’ commit the offence. | Por instance, if Marris & Co sell dis cased parts 11 rould not bé shown that {the bead of the concern, Edward Mor ris, personally ““knew'’ of the sale, hence the heads of the coneerns are al ways safe while the risk of the imposi tion of a penalty i only taken by some (subordinate, BSo under the laws that stand today the beads of these hig con | eerns risk but little and that little is only a fine L ‘ “The most glaring example of this de JBeleney. in our laws or rather inef fectiveness of them when applied 1o the criminal trust, was shown in the failore to stand of Judge Landis’ twen ty nine million dollar Standard Oil fipe. JThe United States Courts of Appeals st aside the fine, basing itx opinion ehiefly on two grounds: First, that the fine was so eXcessive that it became de: destruetive, and secondly, that the fine was imposed on a parent company ‘while, in fact the crime was committed by n sabsidiary concern. In short, that the Standard Oil Company of New Jer sey was fined, while in fact the Stand ard Oil Company of Indiana only com-

The Standard Oil Company of Indiana is really nothing but a dummy eompany, vet having a limited financial responsibility its = parent company shoulderad the responsibility for the act on the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, whose agents really did eommit the offenses. Of course, the real offender was the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and it eseaped, simply because a clever corporation lawyer eonceived the idea of holding or parent corporation. The injustice of the plea that so large a fine is destructive is a specious argument. True, the twenty‘nine million dollar fine was larger than the entire eapitalization of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, vet the Standard Oil Company of Indiana was owned, body and soul, by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, which, ecould well have afforded to pay the fine. But suppose even that this fine was lgrger than the capitalization of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, if that company committed a erime and the fine imposed wiped it out of existence, why not? The poor devil who steals a loaf of bread to save his starving family is not permitted to plead ““limited finanecial responmsibility.”’ On the contrary, he is fined and failing to pay the fine is sent to the Bridewell, while his family starves, If the Stand-
