HE PUSHES THEM OVER. trust question, the Louisville ' f. t ( , President Roosevelt is said to be a devotee of the old Japanese fad, newly introduced here, known as jiu jitsu. His excellency is said to spend many hours each week tumbling around on a mat with native high adepts of the art. For jiu jitsu, the claim is made that a knowledge and practice of its principles enables the adept irrespective of mere brute strength to overthrow and render helpless an opponent. It is even said that the most skillful teachers of the cult can knock a man down and senseless and even kill him by. the touch of a finger. It is supposed to be the control of some kind of human electricity by means of which one kilowat of power is delivered by a paralyzing voltage. If this is not a good illustration any other old jumble of words will do as well; for the thing is a fake as much as a fad. It is nothing more than a system of physical culture, exaggerated as to worth simply because imported. It certainly is not deemed particularly effective in Japan for there the wrestlers, who are the idols of the populace, depend entirely on weight andi strength. They are fatted up like prize steers, and in their bouts they never think of the jiu jitsu touch, but puff and blow like whales; and when one of the tubs of flesh goes down, it is usually the case that he can not get up because a bigger tub of flesh is on top of him.1 But all that is speaking of the presidents attempt' to find a physical art of jiu It is probably the case that jitsu. when he is practicing with his teach era they tumble as soon 'as he touches them. Indeed, if he drags any of his friends into such a contest with him they would be likely to give him the same deferential kind of a fake fall before his pretence of power and make him think that under the withering glance of his eye and under his electric touch, . IS ''.I , : . they are helpless, That is the way they are doing in politics. The president has jitsued his party; and many of its leaders fake him into the belief that they have fallen at his touch. That dear old Bom- bastes of Ohio, Grosvenor. the ready and irresponsible Republican reckoner, is an in-- stance in point. . When Roosevelt was merely a candidate, for; the Grosvenor stood up and expressed a candid opinion of him called him a man of boundless amcurious a erratic sort of man who bition, was to be placed on the ticket to humiliate William McKinley. But Roosevelt of the boundless ambition became president; and when he gave the jiu jitsu political touch to Grosvenor down flopped that faquier, Platt hates Roosehelpless and senseless. velt' and knows the president's narrow limitations of ability;, but he gets within reach of that jitsu emanating finger and he palsied John D. Long, former apparently for life. secretary of the navy, has revealed his view of the Roosevelt disposition ( dangerous that disposition which prompted ..Theodore 'Roosevelt as assistant secretary of the navy to urge that our fleet be sent to ravage the coast and destroy the shipping of Spain, before war was declared; but a "current of fifteen thousand volts of jitsu must have struck Mr. Long for he goes down, takes the icount and has been speechless ever since he was touched. And so 'with been has it Quay, .with Thurston, with Aldrich, with scores of Republican leaders who haye tumbled under this political jiu I . jitsu touch. Of course they havenot really fallen helpless and speechless. .Just as the Japanese teachers have pretended that the president had learned the secret and had the power of jiu jitsu in order to gain converts to the cult and enlarge their own vocation and profits as its exponents; so the Republican politicians, and for the same reasons, have pretended to fall at the political touch of the The fool the dear people; so do the Japs want to Republican politicians. Both propositions are arrant fakes. vice-presiden- . cy; . y 1 . i y . A or. 190 Courier-Journ- al makes this strong argument: Mr. Powderly, pleading the cause of his employer, will' have us believe that wages are But they higher since trusts were born. of 1890 born before bill were the McKinley was framed, and under that act wages steadily went down. They were born before 'the Dingley act was passed, and though wages were higher for some years, while the country was recovering from the panic of 1893, they have been going down for some time. The census of 1900 showed average wages to be lower in that year than in 1890. The tend-end- y of wages is now downward, and there are more trusts than ever before. To say that trusts are favorable to labor is to talk nonsense. The object of a trust is monopoly. It aims to control prices. This means that it intends, when strong enough, to control the prices at whicli it buys, as well as those at which it sells. Take the Beef Trust. Against it the charge is made that by com bination it fixes the price which it pays for cattle, as well as the price at which it sells meat. But it buys labor as well as cattle. The same greed which prompts it to defraud the producer of cattle will prompt it to reduce the wages of labor whenever it is strong That wages have been reduced by enough. trusts is well known, and whenever they have progressed i far enough to feel independent of their workmen they are sure to reduce wages. The workingmen whofavor such combinations, with the idea that they will keep up wages any longer than they are forced to do so, are sure to be buncoed. The administration is making a parade of on the Beef Trust. That war its war has been going on a good while, but the abuses have not been corrected, the friends of . so-call- ed the administration themselves being judges. A Republican house has ordered an investigation under the law establishing the department of commerce and labor. But what sort of an investigation is it? It is conducted in secret, and nothing will be known of the facts elicited until the .president chooses to make them known. If it concludes it is a good trust, an extortioner that will do the fair thing in this campaign, hecan protect it to the fullest extent. Besides, it is doubtful if the report will 'be ready until after the election, and what will happen after that is more than can now be conjectured. But if the Republicans win the trusts will be in clover, and there will be four years more of unbridled extortion, and the workingmen, with reduced pay, will have to bear t'heir share of the burden.
