Investigation 1 and comparison of conditions in the 1 government and handling . of trust funds in this and other countries Bhows that here we have too generally ; disregarded old and time-tested safeguards which, in ' all countries of Europe, have for generations not only protected the rights , and interests of those whose funds are In the hands of individual : trustees, but have worked equally well for the custodians in not setting temptation before them by making it easy to betray their trust. Setting one man In charge of a great fund, to draw against it at his pleasure. and to handle it practically-wlthout check or balance, is a thing- which has not been thought of anywhere in Europe for a long, long time. In all probability were conditions In Europe what they so often are here, results in Europe would be the same. That we have not profited by the wisdom of experience In older societies than ours can be ex- ' plained In but one way. ; Money has come to us so much easier than it has come to anybody In Europe for gener ations that we have disregarded all the lessons of experience to accommodate ."good fellows" whom we have placed in charge of our trust funds. We have gone up against brace games with our eyes open. "Beware of the good fellow," Mr. Rockefeller once wrote to the young men of the coun try. And Mr. Rockefeller Is the greatest living example to prove that to be ware of the good fellow Is to prosper. ! The Sleeping Car Monopoly. New York Journal of Commerce. If there were competition In the sleeping car service on our railroads the action of the Interstate commerce commission' in requiring a reduction of rates to be made on certain western lines and a difference to be made be tween the charg6 for lower and that for upper, berths might be open to : question.'''' v.,- . No monopoly can be safely left to III Us owu charges, or to run a bust ness in which the public has an inter est. to suit Itself. The sleeping car business is about the closest monopoly there is. Where it is not In the hands of the Pullman company it is monop olised by .some railroad company, as in the casof the New Work and New Haven, which has practically no competitorin any part of its business between New York and Boston. . If there is to be any improvement of service or limitation of charge, except what Is voluntarily made by the mononolv. It must be obtained by an exercise of public authority. ? i Pitiful Story. From the Richmond Times-Dispatch. It is a pitiful story, a shameful tory, an outrageous story. Carmack's blood cries out from the ground for vengeance, and the law, of which we ; boast so much. Is powerless to pun Ish the crime. The horror of the whole miserable travesty is enhanced by the criminal Indecency of the governor of Tennessee, who. before the Ink on the just Judgment of the supreme court waa yet dry. Issued a full pardon to the murderer under the great seal of 'the state. It does not mak the least difference to Carmack; but it makes a great deal of difference to the orderly administration of the law in the south and In the state of Tennessee, and It ought to make a great difference to Gov. Patterson. , New England Wilderness. From the Boston Transcript. There are still large areas of wilderness even in the more thickly settl ed of the New England states.

SPEEDY JUSTICE. The execution of justice Is a vital thing. Half of the. lawlessness. In the country at a rough estimate, can be traced back to the faults of legal procedure and the execution of the law. Lynchlngs, riots, mob rule, and crime Itself can be laid at the door of the mal-admlnistratlon of the law and its spirit. Judge Fox and Wayne county are to be congratulated that the trial of the murderer of Mrs. Allison was of such short duration, and without
any mawkish or technical miscarriages.
: The speedy capture of the criminal have done much to raise the Btandlng country."
If it had been otherwise, we might well expect crime and lawlessness
In the future..,
And it should be said now that the speedy justice meted out in this case should be remembered if ever the temptation of a moment should apparently warrant In poular estimation the taking of law out of the hands
of the proper channels. ONCE
,Mr. Havens's platform advocated tariff reform in the interests of the consumer, a revision of the duties on wool and woolen goods, a removal of the tax on hides and lumber, a re- , moval of the tariff on iron ore, an Income tax, and, finally, advocating independence of all political bosses of any party. "Mr. Aldridge, his opponent, contented himself with general proclamations In favor of the policies of the Republican administration. On the tariff proposition he was regarded as a "standpatter." News Item. ,
Up in New York, in a rock-ribbed Republican district which has not had a Democratic congressman for twenty years, the nominee of that
party received a majority of 6,000 in
Two years ago this district was carried by J. B. Perkins, a Republican
with the usual 10,000 majority. 1 ": The same thing happened in the the 14th Massachusetts.
The district in New York was regarded safe from all the -doctrine : of insurgency, it was thought by those ostrich-like politicians In Washington who compose that luncheon club known : as the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. And having provided a stand pat candidate who talked vaguely to the people about the past record of the Republican party and hazily ; about his future position of the tariff and on genuine progressive legislation the inevitable happened. The reactionaries all over the United States are now busy explaining that this, was all caused by Aldridge's alleged "complicity in a hasty boodle mess. Reactionarism and boodle are not so far removed from common parentage they are the byproducts of machine government and it is just as much a credit to the 32nd New York that it balked at the . program for the dual reasons which are the same. Insurgency Is really government by the people -the throwing off of the machine domination nil TnanrerAnitr nrn up .
. Insurgency won in spite of the fact that 'the Rochester manufacturers were highly "protected" to the point ol extortion. Insurgency won In spite of the fact that Aldridge had a "perfect organization.' Insur- . gency won in spite of the fact that the district was normally 10,000 and had been so for twenty years. i The people threw off tbe bosses at home and at Washington. They elected a Democrat, it is true but if the Republicans had put up an Insurgent it is more than probable that he would have received even a larger majority than did the Democrat who ran on practically an independent and Insurgent platform. .. . .
When reactionaries in Indiana like George Lockwood are' . pointing with pride to their, work in districts like the llth, in which by manipulation they did alt they dared to try to discredit Beverldge, it is refreshing to see Insurgency vindicated by the defeat of Standpatlsm by tbte people.
As it is In New York and Massachusetts so it is in Indiana the people are aroused if the Republicans allow Standpatlsm to wage its war on Beverldge we shall have Democratic congressmen in those districts like the Tenth and Eleventh that are under the domination of standpatters the hangers on of Cannon, Aldrich and the corporations.
Beverldge is vindicated. the art of expressing intense feeling in figurative speech." "In that case," replied Miss Cayenne, "the man who writes base ball news is sure a poet." ; What Made the Trouble. . "It is our duty to scatter sunshine," said the cheery citizen. ! v , ; ' "Yes," replied Col. Stillwell;' "but some of the boys out our way got too enthusiastic, s Feeling , that there wasn't enough sunshine to go round, the took to distributing moonshine." Self-Discussion.,. "Bliggins loves to talk about him self." "Yes, but he's had about enough of if for once. He had a visit from the census man and two insurance agents today." Making a Schedule. "You have . moved farther out into the country." "Yes," replied the amateur, I think I have timed the trip about right now. ' It got to be a nuisance to always find myself at the station be fore our rubber of whist was finished." Under. Orders. The doctor says that exercise Is something I must not neelect.

And so I go It does me good And watch the pitcher at the game. He says my lungs must oft expand It I expect to be quite well. I meekly go upon the stand And use them as I wildly yell.

The demand for an expression by the Indiana democratic convention as to the United States senatorship which the next legislature will fill is arow ing. Mr. Tageart wants the matter leu open. uovernor Marshall would close It by instructions given now. In two weeks the convention meets. The Marshall view Is strengthened oy the recent experience in Mississlnnl A legislature without instructions was deadlocked for weeks by a senatorial contest, and now the state is torn by a scandal respecting the result. Gravs charges are brought against men hith erto of spotless repute, and were the two parties in tbe state of almost equal size, tne democracy would lose at th next election. But as that party has a monopoly, there its supremacy is saie aespite the scandal. -. In Indiana there is a different situation. Two parties exist there, and both now are strong. Both must walk a chalk. Should Indiananolia nnt winter, be filled with such a crowd as Jackson was last winter, and such a charge follow the election of a successor to Mr. Beverldge as has followed tbe election of the successor to Mr. McLaurin, the party so impeached would stand no sort of show in the state in 1912. As to, the danger of a scandal, we have to consider that the brewers and the distillers are busying themselves about the complexion of the next legislature, and that their activity means Harvelous Cures.

"They are lib eral spenders in politics, having in view the advancement , of Interests which, as a rule, depend upon money alone for advancement. As the democrats two years ago took, andwill this year take, the "wet end" of ime temperance issue, the brewers and the distillers will be on their side in the coming campaign, and In case of the election of a democratic legislature will present themselves at Indianapolis next winter to clinch their bargain if the question of the senatorship la then open. . They will want a voice in the decision, and ..with them it is money that talks. .... Governor Marshall and bis friends see the danger. Moreover, they con cede the personal merit and attractive ness of Mr. ' Beverldge. They know that in their senatorial candidate the republicans have a strong card, and they would match him If possible, with a strong democrat, named in advance and free from -brewing and distilling odors. Theirs is the sensible and the safe course, but they, have only a little time in which to present the case to tbe party. Convention day is but a fortnight away. Heart to Heart Tallcs. By EDWIN . A.

Some Impressions of Richmond Music .BY W.8.I. MATHEWS. Having known Mr. Will Earhart for several years, from his reputation In school music circles, and having had the opportunity of examining the MSS of his Master-Musicians series, and admired the excellence and novelty of the idea, I was prepared to see unusual results in a place like this, where the natural situation affords a background (a kind of educational and spiritual atmosphere, climate) in which results could - be grown without putting them under glass. But I must say that T am surprised at what I find.: The chorus which win sing at the festival is a thoroughly healthy proposition, and from what I heard last night I think the choral work of "Elijah will come out at the festival with effect so that upon this side the work is extremely ablebodied. Naturally, the thing (or things) which interest me most are the orchestral developments, which are so Infinitly removed from a tradition- , al student orchestra at Harvard university In the old days, where after ; much mustering they brought together a body of players consisting of two guitars (this was before the days of the mandolin as a college cult) J eighteen flutes, one violin and a snare drum. In other words those who had desired music in their souls had taken to the instrument which seemed to them to come nearest filling the want, and the flute, being a pure-minded duffer among orchestral qualities, naturally appealed to thei. idealistic moments, which otherwise would have gone to the shrine of the best girl and perhaps still may have done so. For there is many a hymn of devotion intoned upon the instrument one loves or even can play well enough to find in it the tune "his heart yearns for. .The sight of the high school orchestra and the sound of 1C; with so many students playing efficiently the instruments which are so essential to orchestral richness, and yet are seldom learned by American youth; and the sound of the festival orchestra on Sunday, in which, many of these samie students proved efficient in the difficult tasks of artistic study, filled me with pleasure. v - It is the only time in my whole1 life (In which I have taught music for about Bixty years) that I have ever seen an orchestra which had its roots in the soil where it grew, except in Germany. It promises wonderful results later on; and I feel sure that the young men who play the unusual instruments, and the girls who by right are the true prophets of the violin, will experience in their future exercise in symphony and the lighter kinds of music,, a pleasure and an understanding of music in- its higher aspects, such as under the usual circumstances they would never get. - " .Then too. It gives me a great idea of the town that a body tf bard headed business men should back this kind of goings on in music, and should support so unassuming yet so capable a musician as Mr. Earhart in all this work. ' .. . . , As for Mr. Earhart. he turns out to be very much a higher type of conductor than I had supposed possible to find. He would sustain himself in almost any place where he might be put in the musical world, however high; because he would walk softly until he got the lay of tbe land, and all this while that quiet brain would be forecasting weathers for seasons ahead In music. , 1 Richmond has a right to be proud of what she has got In a musical way; and reason to expect and confidently count upon holding It . and going higher and higher. It is not necessary to have two millions of people to have brains in a placa or to have culture. It Is like religion, a matter of "two or three gathered together" in a sacred name. . I." e. for the desired object in .culture . whether of soul, body or spirit. . I have been Immensely impressed, and nothing that I have ever seen in our country has given me so much hope and faith, as this musical work right here in Richmond.
How Denver, MRS. F. W. The mayor of Denver sets apart r day each year for the cleaning up o, that city. Five years ago he offeree the following suggestions, issued in th form of an official proclamation to the people: "If your store front,' residence ofence is dingy, order it painted. "If your awning is old, torn or faded get a new one. . : "If your sidewalk, gate or fenc needs repairing, fix It. "If your advertising sign is old o faded, take it down or paint it. . "Resolve never to throw paper In th streets. . "Destroy the young weeds- that anstarting on your property and on you neighbor's property. "Allow no one to throw rubbish on the streets or vacant lots. Promise not to spit on the side walk.' . .,. ask your milkman, groceryman, and expressmen to have their wagons painted. "Organize a block Improvement so ciety. "Irrespective of. the size of your house, make your lawn the finest. "Every effort put forth or dollar spent to improve our city's appearance will be returned two-fold." This same proclamation, worded differently f appears each year. The citizens observe . it, and Denver is acknowledged to be the cleanest city in America. A quotation from a recent Bpeech by Mayor Speer of Denver: "Cities are no longer rated by the number of policemen, or dollars stored in vaults. They are measured today more than ever before by the happiness of the people, and that city is the greatest, which gives to Its citizens the most in protection, education, recreation, amusement and beauty." . From four to eight men are employed by the health department of Denver in the sanitary Inspection of back yards and alleys, r Their duty is to see that nuisances are abated without delay. They . supervise the city damping grounds, inspect wells, see that cesspools are properly cleaned, look after sanitary conditions in stores and factories, and do a hundred and one SUBURBAN HOME We bare for sale a choice of Suburban property. : i WM.

advocate of what you are doing here today. ; Denver Is taking part, a prominent part, in a nationar movement that is leaving Its mark upon every city In America. Ton can not afford to Ignore the wave of civic betterment that Is sweeping the country. Its force is Irresistible. f Street I Cleaning Superintendent Maag, of Cincinnati, recently received a letter inclosing 25 cents, which reads as follows: -I am inclosing thla little mite, because of my carelessness in throwing some waste paper Into the streets. I hope this will be sufficient to pay for the picking up of iL I hope to be more careful in tbe future. "A CARELESS PERSON" The city would be rich If every offender were so conscience-smitten.' declared Mr. Maag. The Providence Journal says: -The waste paper nuisance on our streets should be abolished. There Is no reason" whatever for permitting sidewalks and pavements to be used as dumping grounds. The practice Is costing the city large amounts of money, the increase since VMi is about $12.0(MX Careless and slovenly Individuals are thus directly responsible for this additional burden upon taxpayers. . In foreign cities the person who throws a scrap of paper on the streets is arrested and prosecuted." Victor Hugo says: "Beauty is as useful as the useful, and perhaps more so. Chaotic cities depress us daily, civic art is for all. It Is for the people's sake, not for art's sake. A modern city, must administer happiness, health, satisfaction. -' Ugliness is not good ' business; It la not decent; it Is not hospitable."
