t"If this thing is to go on, the honor OF

out of them, and our republic will go

He refers to the conflict between cap
ital and labor. the abuse Ct power and
wealth in the hands of great corpora
tons, which employ Only the subser-
Went minds OF the country" and to
whom independence of individual
thought is distas'efnl and adds:
"When that independence strikes at a
wrong, the thought is not TO correct the
wrong but to silence the warning
voice. For this, great newspapers are
subsidized and the brightest brains Of
the laHd are retained to be the advocates
of the right OF power to rule by virtue
OF the old law OF might. This too will
have to be changed, or by and by, bore
down by unb7arable wrongs, there will
be an uprising which will he the herald
that chaos has come again."
We are GLAD the Tribune has come to
its senses. To be sure some of its utter
ances in che above paragraph 10 not
agree strictly with some others it has
lately made. For Instance. when the indie
psndence of the city police rstruck at
wrong committed by Federal officials
and others in visiting houses of ill-fame
for lewd and lasciYious purposes, the
thought of the Tribune, if judged by its
heroic efforts to rescue the wrong-doers
and have the police prosecuted for
bringing them to justice. was mot to
correct the wrong, bat to silence the
warning voice."
Whether the Tribune is one of the |
great newspapers" which have been |
subsidized" and its editors among
those brightest brains of the land, re-
tanned to be the advocates of the right
Of power to rule by virtue of the old law
Of might" and ito trample on law with
mpunity, we leave to the public to
Judge, but we certainly agree with the
writer that if all this is not changed
here as elsewhere. and the Federal
COURTS spend less time in prosecuting
dOrmons and more i'll prosecuting i'm
all offenders against law and
lecency even If some of them happen
o be officers of the District Court. the
esult will prove disastrous to our coun-
~, which the Tribune truly SAYS, will
e great if we make it great, and not
therwise.
In connection with this We may add j
