HOW TIMES CHANGE.

A noticeable fact about the discussion
relative to the extreme antitrust legisia-
ton which has been enacted In Arkansas
and which is proposed for Texas, is that
only an insignificant number of journals In
any part Of the country interpret these
measures as the expression simply OF a
spirit 'inimical to capital"
1t used to be that no State in the South
or West could pass any statute regulating
business or investments or for the needed
protection OF the public. without hearing
hue and cry in the Eastern press against
the Communism" and "socialistic tenden-
cies' of the South and West. Such laws
could be passed In the Northern States.
and were in fact passed. without being
stigmatized as merely hostile demonstra-
lions against capital There they were
regarded as the safeguards OF the public
and as guarantees, indeed. against frauds.
That they became in the estimation of the
East species OF Socialism when re-
sorted to by other communities was OF
course ridiculous conclusion. except on
the theory that such characterization and
comment were chiefly for political ef-
feet.
1t Is an evidence OF the now sIrnos,
universal condemnation OF trusts and trust
methods that laws enacted anywhere FOR
their undoing are not only not an attack
upon capital, or an obstacle In the way
OF business expansion, but In every way
proper and timely The public have come
to feel that not to take hold Of and
throttle these huge combines for limiting
production, or sitting composition, or ar
bitrarily fixing prices without reference to
the natural laws of trade, is to suffer the
trusts soon to become too powerful to be
even regulated by the people,
While, therefore, many criticisms are
heard with reference to the extreme feat
ures OF the Arkansas and proposed Texas
antitrust law, these objections are not
urged against the general purpose in
view, NOR applied TO those sections of the
statutes that seek only to protect the Ar
kansas or Texas people against the opera
tions OF the trusts.
A very able paper in New York State,
and very strong republican paper as
well, remarks at the conclusion OF recent
editorial that "the strong feeling now ex-
hibted by the Texans shows how wide
spread is the antagonism to the trusts
and how determined Texans are that their
State shall not be used as cats paw. as
New Jersey is being usedl" few years
ago this same paper would have roundly
abused Texas as an enemy to capital and
progress had our legislators then at
tempted any drastic antitrust legIslatloni

NOW is OUR TIME.

The news from the Philippines TO the
OBJECT that the natives are tired OF the
fighting and are beginning to appreciate
the hopslessness OF their struggle against
the United States. Is gratifying In so far
as 1t presages an early cessation of the
arduous and bloody work OF our soldiers
and promises peace 10 the Islands.
As the oyertures come from the Fiji
pinos our National pride should be sum
cisntly satisfied to render us prompt In
meeting the natives even more than halt
way. That indispositiou, however, to rec
ognigo the fact that the Filiplnos have
any rights In their own country except
such as we choose TO give them which has
been manifest from the frse may still
create troubles that II would now be mag
unanimous on the part OF this Nation to
avoid. II we have recognized Agulnaldo
to the extent Of treating with him under
the rules OF war It would hardly COM
promise our dignity to our interests to
recognize the right of Filipino congress
to have a voice in the negotiations for
peace and In the settlement of the ques-
tions relating ia, The future government
of the islands.
Let us hope In the interest of humanity
and for the honor Of the great republic
that our authorities win not too arrogantly
or infexibly play the role Of conquerors,
now THAI settlement is seemingly posi-.
Bile. We can better afford TO give much
to the natives and yield something to their
own sense Of importance. even to the point
Of hartering their vanity, than to continue
war that is costing us SO much and
bringing US but little glory IN ques-
tionabio cause. When the frat shot was

zion that we had nothing else left us to

States senate have held seats undisturbed
by virtue of appointment by the governor
OF their State. but 1t has been because the
legislature constitutionaly entitled to
elect them had not been In session up

they were appointed began, or because NO

One OF the peculiar features of the Quay
case. but one which would have no bear

probability. is The fact that the constitu-
ton of Pennsylvania specifically requires
the governor to convene the legislature to
fill vacancy There is conferred upon
him no authority to appoint. At the same
time. save in an infe .ential way, there
is no prohibition against such appoint
ment. The Pennsylvania constitution says:

United States senator from the common
wealth. in a recess between sessions the
governor shall convene the two houses,
by proclamation or on notice not exceed
ing sixty days, to fill the same" I asked
a Pennsylvania politician how, under this
clause Governor Stone could appoint Mr..
Quay to the senate.
Huh he said, "stono could appoint
Quay pope, couldn't he. but that wouldn't
make him pope, would itl"
But Mr.. Quay is very oleaglnous citi-
zen, and the betting here is even that he
viii land in his seat. 1t is even asserted
that Quay, anticipating just such an out

poll the senate on how it would stand be-

have several cards up his sleeve that we
