EDITORIAL PAGE
The Chicago Pre.® says: The
case of Governor Sulzsr is on trii'1,
but the issue is .Murphy, siulzer's
offense to Tammany wasn't in spec
ulating or iu trying to make a\»uy
with money not his own; it was in
trying, however weakly, to serve the
plain folks directly ami not as u
Tammany tool. The new freedom I
is mocked and humiliated by M ■ -
phy. His challenge to the progress
ive spirit o the time is insole >t.
It slaps the manhood of the Empire
State boldly in the face. Sulzer is
only an incident. The real issuo
is Murphy and what he typifies- -
the invisible government which im
pudently mocks government of, by,,
and for the people. Some day this
issue must be met. Why not now?
THK MA1I. OKDKK THl'ST.
So silently and jnsideously that
the great public is as yet almost
unaware ot' its presence, a new trust
is extending its tentacles out over
the country. It is the mail ortkr
trust. Already its strangling t;rii'
is tightening about the million small
town and country merchants v.-h i
are the backbone of national pros
perity.
The mail order trust has capital
ized womau and child labor. It hr.s
capitalized prison labor. It hr.s cap
italized misfortune. It has capital
ized vice. It has turned all those
things into dollars—dollars which
should have found their way into th
tills of the country merchant, inste i
of flowing into the trusts Wall stree
hoard.
Oue mail order house recently in
creiiseil its capital stock from $i><»o,
000 to $40,000,000. A new $10,000
ooo merger of mail order houses ha
been formed. Wall street financiers
including the Morgan banking firm,
has had charge of these financial op
eratious. Still another mail order
house with t»^ acrse of floor spare
made a net profit of $17,000,000
last year.
The small merchant is the prop of
distributed prosperity and the
growth of the mail order trust seer
no common good. Here is a princi
ple which works oat: "If you spend
your money where you get it, yo'.
will be able to get it where y«>u
spend it."
