OVERPLAYING CALAMITY.
The calamity game has been over
played.
It has been overplayed by the rail
roads. It has been overplayed by
Wall street. It has been overplayed
by the banks. It has been overplay
ed by big business in general. Evi
dence is multiplying that the country
is.tired of it, and that it is disgust
ed with the methods of acceleration
that have been used to exploit it.
The American people are not fools.
They are not disposed to cut off their
noses to spite their faces. They are
not given to burning down the barn
in order to get rid of the rats. A few
weeks ago there was a strongly in
creasing sentiment that government
was pressing too hard upon business,
and that a breathing-spell was de
sirable. Public opnion in general
favored the railroads in their plea
for a five per cent increase in freight
rates. It favored the postponement
of the anti-trust bills until the short
session of congress, mere was gen
eral sympathy with the great cor
porations in their petitions for a
truce. That sympathy has been very
largely dissipated.
We doubt! if there was any “con
spiracy” such as the president sus
pected; but there was certainly too
much team work in the exploitation
of calamity—too many mimeograph
ed letters, too many form telegrams,
too many protests framed in identical
language, too much proof that one
directing mind had instigated the
whole campaign, too much evidence
of a concerted efTort to bluff the
president, the congress and the
. country.
, Such methods are likely to defeat
themselves, and in this case the de
feat is decisive.
There is a growing feeling that the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
not been ill-advised in putting the
acid test on the petition of the rail
roads for increased rates. The kind
of railroad finance that has been
dragged to light in the New Haven
case, the Rock Island case, the Fris
co case and the Pere Marquette case
has done anything but increase pub
lic confidence in the integrity of
railroad management and in the
truthfulness of railroad claims.
Instead of halting anti-trust legis
lation, the campaign calamity has
made it certain that congress will
pass all of the administration’s meas
ures before it adjourns. Incidentally,
the country remembers bow bitterly
the organized banking interests op
posed the new banking and currency
bill and how unanimously they ap
proved of it after it became a law.
It is rapidly coming to the conclu
sion that business has been using
the same kind of bulldozing tactics
to which banking resorted.
Calamity may have looked like a
good weapon to terrify the country,
but it has turned out to be a boom
erang.—New York World.
TOWNS ARE GETTING TOGETHER
The Cordova baseball team has
just returned from a pleasant trip
to the active mining town of Valdez.
The boys are loud in their praise of
the treatment, that was extended
them. The declare that all sec
tional feeling was obliterated and
that they were welcomed as though
they were returning brothers,*, all of
which speaks volumes for the warm
heartedness of our neighbors, and
indicates that any jealousies that
may exist are confined to a few and
are not shared by the many.
The feeling at Cordova has never
been antagonistic to Valdez although
at times some unkind things may
have been said here because of cer
tain uncalled for misrepresentations
upon the part of some few people in
Valdez. However, we believe that a
more friendly feeling is being ce
mented and a return visit from the
Valdez ball team and their friends
will tend to show them that the
people of Cordova are all to the
good.—Cordova Alaskan.
Mike Zharoff left for Belskofsky
yesterday to meet Mrs. Zharoff, who
has been visiting relatives in the
westward town.
