The tramp's range of travel is not so wide as that of the wandering millionaire, but quite like ly ho draws the same surcease of soul weariuess from ohauge of scene that bis wealthier follow citizen does. He sleeps in a different haystack every night and the millionaire iu a differ ent hotel. He becomes a connoisseur in haystacks as the other doos in inus and caravansaries. Travel becomes like opium or any othor drug. Kept up long enough, one oau't do without it.

"Nothing in this country has been touched by a trust," declares William Traverse Jerome, "that has not been caused to grow and improve." 'How about the pocketbooks? The Boston Globe bitterly complains of the man who thinks it is humorous to refer to it as "feetball." This variety of screaming humor is found in the west also. Bishop Potter's ideal saloon failed ignomiuiously, Chicago's ideal news papers followed in its heels. Now they are planning to inaugurate an ideal theatre.- The New York Press sees plainly that the people paid the recent beef magnates' flues. Any wealthy auto mobilist will tell you that lines are easy. According toSenntor Lodge the suc cess of the Roosevelt administration depends on the election of republican justices of the peace in Massachu setts. Mr. Addicks of Delaware states that the country needs honest politicians. Mr. La.wson'8 comment on this remark might start a now magazine. KKW Y IKK 1NNOK.VKU. ( Portland Jonrn al. ) Enough light has already been let into the insurance situation in New York to make it perfectly clear that the policy-holders have been uncon scionably robbed by those in whom they reposed their confidence. To simp ly stir up the mess a little, turn out the spectacular grafters who have so richly feathered their nests at the public expense and to put in another batch of high priced men effects little or nothing of what should be forth coming from such exposures as have already been made. As a matter of fact the three great insurance companies need to oe turned inside out, the very uttermost of their Becrots laid bare, their premises whitewashed and thoroughly fumi gated and their b ashless brought down to a basis of honesty, economy and strict common sense. Then every grafter conueoted with these institu tions, every man who has misapplied a dollar of the trust funds should be throttled and thrown into jail and if the case is proven against him be should be landed iu the peniteutiare where he properly belongs. If myn in whose hands repose the most sacred of trusts, men who have boasted names with which to conjure in the financial world, are merely con scieuceless grafters and wholesale thieves in the insurance business, then why is uot a certain degree of doubt and suspicion cast upon every other financial trustee in New York? Here is a case where the attitude of ' New York the fluanoier must be clear as day.' What the rest of the country, which so largely sustains New York, wants to know is how they stand with reference to these thieves? Are they honestly for or against them? If they are against them, then in their own behalf they should use all their in fluence to bring these men to the puu ishmout they have so richly earned for no other way can they show the country that they share honest men's antipathy for such shameless prac tices. LOST HIS TKMPKIl. (Spokesman-Review.) When Charles G. Dawes, former comptroller of the currency, lost his tomper at a meeting of the Nebras ka Bankers' association nnrt duolured himself tired of iioariug "niiosumtio pessimisms," he committed a grave mistake, surprising in one of his recognized good judgment. Predatory wealth was under discussion and there had been some rather warm Mail Orders a Specialty arguments over the question of trusts. The president of the association had concluded an address in which, after picturing the misdeeds of trusts, be had pleaded with the bankers to refuse longer to stand in the attitude of apologies for every crime wealth com itate, but to line up with the people. Mr. Dawes replied in a very excited maimer, making use of the words quoted. The line of argument pursued by Mr. Dawes was good, but he spoiled the effect by indulging in extreme language. There will be general concurrency in bis assertion that what is demanded is the solving of the trust problem by clear headed, right thinking business men. There are unquestionably many good corpor ations that do not call for denuncia tion or attack, but those which are robbing the people are" so numerous and powerful that it cannot be ex pected the advice of Mr. Dawes to leave off indefinite criticism will be adopted. The sufferers at the hands of these predatory trusts are not in "a position to pick out specific wrongs or to find out for themselves just where the remedy lies. They know, however, that the everyday burdens of life, are made almost unbearable by the trusts, and they look to those in position of authority to seek out and apply a rem edy. They realize that they have a strong champion in President Roose velt, and they are confident he will not abandon the fight in their behalf until relief is obtained. Oot Off Cheap.
