QfiAn AND HIGH flNANOE-
Bryau is quoted as saying that
"the exploitation of the people thro
ugh the operations of "high finance"
presents a new problem to the voters
ot this country. And so it does,
aud if there were some way to
make it a political issue on which
the voters could act with intelli
gence, there would be no question
as to the result. But the spoliation
of the stock jobbers, the grafters,
the corrupters of legislation and of
those who prey on the public gen
erally, cannot be successfully crys
tallized into a party issue, at least
not at this time, for there is but
one public opinion as to the evil.
Every politician is at least theoretic
ally opposed to these things, and
each party stands for honest govern
ment and honest officials.
But what the people can do is to
give greater heed to the character
of men they elect to public office,
lrom the minor elections to those of
first importance, and especially in
filling vacancies in the United
States Senate. With a gradual im
provement in the character of public
men, there will be better laws, a
stricter enforcement of the laws.
aud a finer code of morals in the
business world. But little progress
can be made against boodle and
graft unless the laws in existence
are enforced and better ones sup
plied where old ones are inadequate.
The real problem lies in the United
States senate, which body is largely
owned by the money interests, and
which blocks the way to reform by
presenting specious arguments on

behalf of the "business interests"
and the "working classes."
The gicatest graft the world has
ever known is in the shelter that
the protective tariff gives to mon
ojolists and extortionists in this
country, yet congress, especially
the upper branch, is so under the
control of the men who benefit by
this shelter that it will be to blame
if the reform is not ultimately
wrought. Kansas City Times.

The Railway World says that
the number of persons on the pay
rolls of the railways in the United
States, as rtturned for June 30,
1904, was 1,296,121, or 6 1 1 per 100
miles of line. These figuies, when
compared with corresponding ones
for the year ioov show a decrease
of 16,416 in the number of em
ployees, or twenty-eight per 100
miles of line. The classification of
employees includes eneinemen.

es. 39.b45. and other trainmen,
106,734. There were 46,262 switch
tenders, crossing tenders and watch
men. With regard to the four gen
eral divisions of railway employ
ment, it appears that general ad
ministration required the services
of 48,746 employees, maintenance
oi way and structures, 415.721 em
ployees ; maintenance of equipment,
261,819 employees, and conducting
transportation, 566,798 employees.
This statement disregards a few
employees of which 110 assignment
was made. The usual statement of
the average daily compensation of
the eighteen classes of employees
for a series of years is continued in
the present report, which shows
also the aggregate amount of com
pensation paid to more than 99 per
cent, of the number of employees

reported, was 5817,598,810.

bave been a reproach to the cood
name of the party elsewhere and a
stumbling-block in the way of its
progress. The curse of Quayism
has hung like a heavy cloud over
the record of a party that puts for
ward the claim ol being a leader m
all civic and political reforms, and
whose history, as a whole, fully
justifies that claim. But Republi
can domination m Philadelphia has
beeu no whit better than Tammany
domination in New York, and no
honest Republican anywhere who
is frank with himself will deny the
fact or fail to confess that it has
been to him a cause of shame and
contusion.
And wnat is true in this respect
of Philadelphia has been true to a
deplorable extent of other cities in
Pennsylvania and of the State as a
whole. Republicans who have
gloried in the fact that their party
has stood for honesty and morality
in politics and public life have no
reason to be proud of their party
history in Pennsylvania for the
past thirty-five years. It has been
neither honest, straight nor clean.

Ashi President Rjoscclt to Launch Move
ment for International Investigating
Board.
A letter addressed to President
Roosevelt irotn W. J. Bryan, in
which 11 pi. 111 fur the prevention of
:ir is suggested, lias been made
public. Mr. Biya:i roryiatu'ates
lite president n his sujtes in
bringing Russia and Japan together
and says :
"Why not ask Congress for
authority to submit all international
questions (when agreement cannot
be rer.ched by parties interested) to
an impartial board of investigation
and report? Investigation will in
nearly every case remove the cause
of complaint and reconcile the par
ties! Questions which n nation
might be unwilling to submit to
at nitration in advance could be set
tled by investigation by tin impar
tial international board.
"It was a glorious thing to end
the war between the Russians and
the Japanese, but it would have
been more glorious to have pre
vented the war and saved the fright
ful loss of life. The moral prestige
which our nation now enjo s would
in all probalility enable it to lead a
successful peace movement. The
congratulations which have arrived
from the hands of European govern
ments strengthen the chances of
success. If the leading nations of
the world would enter into an agree
ment to join m the creation of such
a board and pledge themselves to
submit all disputes to the board of
investigation before declaring war,
the danger of war would be reduced
to a minimum.
"Few men have had it in their
power to do so much for humanity.
