SEPT. 15. .1910 GOVERNMENT SHORTCOMINGS The PaoiBo Coast Manufacturer of fers the following editorial comment: "Helpless, inefficient, yet in many respeota the strongest government In ... the world the one we live under. Its virtues nave Deen lauded to the eki this editorial will deal witb some of lta shortcomings. "A farmer may be pat In jail in some states if he shoots a crow that Is Falling up his corn. ; fcnt a gang of men in the same state can go and lynob a neighbor and nothing is ever done about it. We are all familiar with the manner In wbioh massed men have banged others to trees, tut it is seldom the assassins are brought to aooonnt. "We have had record-breaking oiops in many states and the world is olam orina for oor prodnots, but what is the situation? We have no ships to take our wares to market and resem ble a merchant who makes no provis ion for the delivery of his goods. We oan build as good ships as anyone in the world, but the laws penalize our euiptuilders and shipowners, instead of aiding them, as the laws of other nations Bid theirs. Onr capitalists dare not ventnie into the shipping tus 1U6B8, for they never know what kind ot a new law or lestriotion may be adopted and they employ tbeir money in other ways. "Our government officials have just auakened to the fuot there are no laws under wbioh dynamite and other outrages or conspiracies to injure our industries oan be suitably punished. These things are left mainly to the states and of course the states uegleot them, Anyway tbeie are 48 states, Hud whut is a orinie in one state may tie entirely lawful in another, so there Is no uniformity. "There Is uo suitable system of uBUdiug fractional ourreuoy through the mails. Everyone kuowa this, yet us there is do politics in suoh an lm pioveuietit, no one takes enough In tuuet to see it oarried through. And so the people everywhere are ooinpeUed to use postage stamps as a makeshift joireuoy, The law expressly forbids snob a use of postage stamps, bnt ev erybody disobeys Ibis law. It is clear ly a foolish and nnjnst law, and it well illustrates the kind of laws tbat ooagress passes and thut the people have to put up with. "The states are no longer jealous and suspicions of the federal govern ment as they onoe were, but still there is far too little cooperation and oo ordiuation between the nation and the states, and the laws of the states vary so widely that there is no oonformily or oouslstenoy. "Now we come to the state of affairs brought about by having one stale 'dry' aud the adjoining state 'wet,' and the inadequacy of our system was never so manifest as at the present time. "We know what perversion of jus- tioe may be aooomplished by the free use of money aud bow bard It is to oiuob' the big fellow. "From these tbingj it seems that the time is coming when more efficient and modern methods will have to be evolved." DEATH OF WILLIAM J. KING The death of William J.
