The reason is simnlv that there is an immense steel trust, made possihlc by jii iniquitous tariff system, tolerated hy a government that is for the peo ple, due ill a measure to the fact that U. S. senators arc elected hy purchas able legislatures, and the trusts have the money to pay to get the kind of men they want. $28 for steel rails means more diffi- -cult work to secure railroad exten sions, striking directly home to the people. The result -is enormous divi dends for the stockholders of the steel trust, big enough to stagger one. Car negie is one of them. Jle takes the money grafted from the people, gives it out for libraries and other great things and gets the credit of being a ;philauthropist. The people want a change from this condition of affairs, and for this reason last November elected a democratic congress, which will meet in extra scs.-:ion on the 4th of April, and will be expected to do something to stop .the robbery, or the people will again speak and try something else. They are tired of promises made before clcc tion to get votes. They want the goods, without the foolishness that 'has characterized past congresses. If the democrats wish to retain control of congress they will have to do some thing emphatic. Action, not hot air, is what the country wants. A SERVANT OF THE TRUSTS, Senator Root, of New York, a "trust tool, had to dig up the "race ques tion" in discussing the proposed .-amendment of the constitution, for the .-election of U. S. senators by the peo ple, instead of by state legislatures where corruption has become so pre valent the candidate with the biggest "barrel" usually getting the senator ship, if it is a republican legislature. Root cannot point out a single south ern state in which a millionaire has ever bought a senatorship, such as Mark llauna did, and Guggenheim of 'Colorado did, and such as Lorimcr's lrtvnds recently did in Illinois not to mention many others. Root pays $25,- 000 per year for rent alone on his palatial home, lie made millions out ( xf corporations as an attorney, and -whose interests he still serves in the f ALBANY'S STYLE SHOW. 'The Style Show had its origin in a desire to better conditions for the customers the stores and for the city as a whdle. , lleretolnrc llle i-usltnu nas oceu lor ; .every merchant have his opening , whenever it si lii i convenience and usually an eliurt was made to have it before anybody else. I The result was a scries of openings -ooverimr a period of several weeks. I ibij method was entirely incKiiig in power to .attract trade from the valley .it large. Under the new plan, or "Style Show," all these stores will .li'ilil their openings on the same dale, 'March 23, 24, 25. These simultaneous openings of all the stores constitute the Albany Style Show, which is a (Commendable business. , TRAVELING IS PRETTY SAFE. The announcement is made that not a single passenger was killed on the Marriuian lines during 1910, a remark able record. The reason for this is ascribed to the introduction of salcty appliances, particularly the block sig- iViS r " V. L, ' ;,u 1 generally are exerting their best cf- forts for the safety of their passengers, It is also business, lieavv damaiie suits, nnd it prevents and saves attor- iicy's fees. It is a part of the im jirovcmeiit of the world. GOOD BYE, JOE. Just as congress was adjourning a lcnHK-rat threatened to whip lix iipcaker Joe Cannon, lie was hot. lie had reason lo he. In the delibera tions of congress neither a democrat or republican should have any prefer ences, when seeking recognition by the speaker. Due has just as many rights as the other. There should be 110 politics when it conies to making laws; but Joe Cannon has iicen a tyrant i'l his rulings, intolerant and unbearable. As a rule the people arc t;lad to sec him out.
