THE GOVERNING POWER.
Should lie Ksrrrlard by the People,
Not n Few Individuals.
Justice Potter of the supreme court
of Pennsylvania objects to tlie Gar
field plan for tlie control of Interstate
trusts on the ground that it would tend
to give the national government "des
potic" power.
The Inter Ocean holds no brief for
Mr. Garlieltl. There may bo a better
way than this. But be that as it may,
the Inter Ocean cannot but recognize
the fallacy of Justice Potter's argu
ment.
The "despotic" power to which Jus
tice Potter objects exists already in,
for instance, the railway business.
There It is in the hands of a few men,
who rapidly are becoming fewer.
Tlie American people have this "des
potic" power over them, their Indus
tries and their trade now. The ques
tion at issue Is not whether this power
sliis 11 exist. It does exist. The ques- |
tion is, Who shall exercise it?
Shall it be.l. l'ierpont Morgan. James
J. Ilill, E. 11. Ilarriinan, John D. j
Koc!:efeller anil George J. Gould?
ur shall it be the government of the ;
whole American people?
T; e men who now hold this power
have no direct responsibility to tlie na
tion. If they abuse their power, there i
is no speedy and sure way of restrain j
ing them. They cannot be tried and I
found wanting before tlie people and
then be dismissed.at the polls.
If the government of the whole poo- j
pie held this power it would be sub- !
joct to check, restraint, change and
correction of any abuse at every na
tion.ll election.
This power cannot be destroyed with
out tearing down the whole' fabric of j
modern industry and commerce and re- >
building it from the foundations. This
power must continue to exist.
Whore shall it be lodged? lu the j
hands of a few men, practically free ,
from responsibility for abuses, or in the
hands of the government of the whole j
people?
Who shall be the "despots?"—Chica j
go Inter Ocean.
PENNSYLVANIA GRANGERS.
Over »S,OOO Sew Memlier* Added t«
the Roll the Pad Year.
The Pennsylvania state grange met
this year at Erie, W. F. Ilill of Mont
A Mo, worthy master, presiding. Sec- j
retary Ailman reported 6,204 new
names added to the rolls during the
past year. This does not Include those
reinstated. There arc now 54C granges
in tlie state as against 501 for last j
year. The receipts for the last year
were $11,440.80. The sixth degree was
conferred on a class of -15. Tlie elec- |
tion of officers occurred, and W. F.
Hill was chosen master for tlie tenth
your. Evidently Pennsylvania believes
in keeping good men In office, for they
have re-elected their overseer for the j
seventh year; lecturer, seventh year;
treasurer, fourteenth year; secretary,
eleventh year; gatekeeper, seventeenth
year, and assistant steward, seventh
year.
The legislative committee made one
of the most important reports ever
submitted to the state grange. The
Hon. William T. McCreary was at the
head of the committee. The report
favored legislation allowing trolley
companies to carry freight; a tax of
I mill on corporate and personal prop
erty for road purposes, to be distribut
ed according to public road mileage;
favored laws whereby license taxes
under both county and municipal laws
be paid to the counties in which such
taxes are collected; favored the Initia
tive and referendum, parcels posts and
postal savings banks. It also favored
increasing the public school appropria
tion to $200,000, the amount appropri
ated at the last session being SIOO,OOO.

A FEW OK THE MANY REASONS j
WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE
A POLICY
WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE
BKCAUSK—lncontestable from tlie
date of issue. Because—absolutely
without restrictions. Because —non
forfeitable from date of issue. Be
cause—cash loans are provided after
second year on demand at 5 per cent
interest without fee or other charge.
Because—if death does not occur an
accumulative policy is a highly profi
table investment for the policy-holder
who lives.
Policies now maturing to living
policy-holders prove this. In fact
