GEORGE B. LOVING of Fort Worth
says that he has been entirely success
full in organizing his thirty million dol
lar cattle syndicate. He claims that
it will take in about all the ranches
and live stock in Texas, New Mexico,
and Arizona. This seems entirely un-
likely, as competent men have estimat-
ed that it would take far more than
one hundred million dollars to control
the beef market of the southwest. 1t
is quite significant that this great
cattle trust is being projected in the
state of Texas, where trusts are sup
posed to be outlawed.

THE vehement denunciation of in
dustrial combinations of all sorts by
John w. Hayes, general secretary OF
the Knights of Labor. at Chicago yes
teaday, seems little raw in the light
of present day facts. He rants about
the "despotic power that indus
trial combinations have over
the rights of citizens. he
seems to like to rave about the ''des-
potic control that trusts exercise over
labor" The fact of the matter is
that, Notwithstanding trusts were
never more prevalent or more power
full, labor was never more Independent
or more prosperous. Laboring men
today virtually dictate their own
wages and employers are forced
to 60 out and seek men to work
for them. Even unskilled labor
commands two or three times the rate
of wages today that it did before the
election of President Mckinley. One
of the greatest mistakes the laboring
organizations make Tor perhaps, to
speak more definitely, the despots of
the laboring organizations) is to main
tain continual and fierce warfare
against the employers of labor
If they would attempt to
the problems they discuss
and to lead their followers to under
stand them instead of always seeking
to kill and tear down, they would enlist
the sympathy of the mass of people at
the same time that they would help
themselves and those who depend upon
them for leadership.

CONSIDERABLE discussion has re-

CONSIDERABLE discussion has re-
suited from the action of the late Sec
rotary of war, General Alger, in pro-
hibiting the landing On the island OF
Cuba of the submarine cable belonging
to the Commercial Cable
company (PostaD. The West
ern Union company at present
controls the Cuban cable service abso-
lutely. The rates charged by the COM
pany are two dollars and half for q
message of ten words from New York
to Havana and Fl I've dollars for mes
sage OF ten words from New York to
other Cuban points. The distance
from New York to Havana is over one
hundred miles less than the
distance from New York to New Or
leans, yet the latter rate is but sixty
cents, or less than one fourth the rate
charged by the Western Union to Ha-
vana. In February of this year the
Commercial Cable company applied
for permission to lay compel
ing cable. The Western Union rates
prior to that time were four dollars
from New York to Havana and eight
dollars from New York to certain 9TH
err Cuban points When the CONNER
ci al company took action, ike Western
Union reduced its rates to the amounts
given above. But the Western Union
company represented that it held ex-
elusive rights to control
the cable service of Cuba
under a Spanish grant. On this
representation Secretary Alger direct
ed General Brooke to prevent the
landing of the proposed cable in Cuba.
favors of the government or any one
else. 1t desires simply to lay a COM
peting cable. It offers to
place the cable at the service
of the government, allowing the gov
ernment to fix its own rates and agree
ing to sell the cable to the government
at any time at an appraised value. The
proposition is fair one and the HER
AID can see no reason
for preventing this company from
competing with the Western Union.
Open competition is favored by the
United States and is guaranteed to all
our citizens. The reduction in the
cost of the cable service between Cuba
and the United States is absolute
ly necessary to enable the
two countries to enjoy the closer rela-
tions made possible by the entry of the
island Of Cuba upon new era of ma
tional life. The action of Secretary
Alger was doubtless taken from mo-
tives of expediency without consider
ing the question in all its aspects. |
Opinions of the best lawyers.agree that |
the question of the validity of the |
claim of the Western Union to an ex-
elusive franchise should be left to the
courts to determine, and that it Is not
the province of the executive depart
ment of the government to assume to
pass upon such q matter as THE.
It seems that this matter has not vet
been brought directly to the attention

doubt that when he personally consid-
srs the question he will at once deter
nine upon course of action that will
De to the best interests of the people
