PROHIBITION AND TRUSTS.
The sweep of prohibition, not only
in the South, but also in the northern
section of the United States, cannoz
be accounted for by baking into con
sideration only the moral side of the
question, it is true that the plea
for better moral conditions and for
better religious life is powerful and
has Us effect in prohibition cam-
paigns. It is true that through this
agency the prohibition movements of
tlie past have been in largest measure
It Is true that this line of ar
gument has kept olive the prohibition
movements in times that showed no
silver lining to the cloud. Still this
cannot explain the present tremend
ous sweep of the prohibitionists all
>vcr the country.
Nor can it lie said that the negro
question is'most largely resjionsibia
for tile state of feelings. That argu
ment might apply in the South, hut
wo find tiie increase of prohibition
sentiment almost as great in the
Xortli as in the South, and the negro
question does not menace the North.
It has unquestionably come to pass
that the business argument formerly
us d with such effect by the op|x>n-
cuts of prohibition has lost its
weight. It must be that men have
decided that prohibition means the
saving of money for the working man
an ! the general improvement of all
lines of business outside the liquor
business. On this ground alone
the prohibition victories in numerous
communities be accounted for. Win
gre-.it manufacturing districts ea
their vote for prohibition, when pr
hihitiou wins out in centers of fa
eign population when great commer
cial centers declare for this method
of i< striding the sale of liquor, the
conclusion must he reached that the
liu-dtH-ss argument of the anti-prohi
lutionist has been overthrown.
It requires no seer or prophet to
foretell what will eventually- come
pass in this country, when the luisi-
itcss <•!< nient ami the working eh
and the foreign element mak
common cause with the religious and
■i! element for the overthrow ot

IS WALL STREET FOR BRYAN?
'1'h re is a well-defined rumor going
lie roun Ls that the big business iti-
i-tests represented in Wall street
av«* about decided to cast their in-
luencv t‘f> Mr. Bryan in the next
•residential election in preference to
upjHir'.ing any man who runs as a
toosevolt candidate ou the republi-
an ticket. These interests argue
tbit with the senate overwhelmingly
publican there will be no chance
for Mr. Bryan as president to put any
of his measures through, and such a
condition would be better than run
ning the risk of a crazy man like
Roosevelt, whipping republican sena
tors into line for his wild-cat meas
ures.
In vow of this feeling it is being
::id th *1 these business interests ar*‘
wi'li-’g to do all that can he done to
sociire th»* «*P ction of Bryan, unless
i • > r* publicans should nominate
man to tln ir liking, free from the in
duenoe of Roosevelt, a thing that :«
not likely to happen.
A Wr stern republican senator
warns Wall street that it is quite mis
take n in its surmises. This senato-
knows, as Wall street knows, that
William J. Bryan in the presidential
office would carry out his political
ideas without fear or favor, if lie hail
it in his jk»w< r so to do. This senator
also states that there are at leas;
thirty republicans senators who ar
ready under such circumstances
put thmoslvos in line with the demo
cratic minority in the senate and
enact into law the ideas of Mr. Bry
an.
It may he that there is nothing in
•lie rumor that has been circulated.
l>m again if may he true. It is cer
tainly true th.it Mr. Roosevelt is not
as strong in his party as he was a
year ago. His strength among tha
rank and file of the republicans
still practically unimpaired, but he is
losing ground with the leaders and
the business world is genuinely
afraid of him on account of his dis
position to continually upset things.
