ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.

The trust attorneys in the lower
house of congress last week undertook
10 circumvent the opposition by crowd
ing an impracticable measure through
congress. The bill, which is said to
meet the approval of every trust mag
nate and agent in the country, proposes
10 deprive the states of the rights they
now have to legislate against trusts
and to vest the entire control Of these
unlawful combinations Of capital in
congress. At present the trusts control
congress and they hope to be able to
continue their control. but they are eX-
ceedingly anxious TO take from the va
rious state legislatures the power TO
enact laws for their regulation and con-
troll.
Representative Mccall. Republican
member from Massachusetts, said that
he would support any honest effort to
suppress the trust evil but that the ill
under consideration brings prom.se
10 the ear but breaks it to the hope. "
and he said further in discussing the
bill that it was evidently the object
10 place all individual combinations IN
der the ban and to use it as ian excuse
TO destroy labor organizations" This.
then, explains the surprising unanimity
with which ali trust officials in the east
gave taeir unqualified endorsement to
this alleged anti trust" measure.
Representative Newlands Of Nevada
voted for the proposition but admitted
that the proposed constitutional amend
ment was a make-shift INTENDED TO
meet a political emergency and without
serious intention Of finally being in
corporated in the constitution"
Yet he cast his vote for the resolution,
fearing that his refusal to do so would
be misconstrued and believing that no
harm would result from charging the
powers of congress over ORGANIZATIONS
Of labor and capital
1t is strange, indeed, if this bill be
an honest proposal, that every trust
tool in either house of congress is in
favor Of it; that it was inspired by

Republican politicians are trying very
hard to eliminate the trust issue from
this campaign without injuring the
trust itself. They fancy that the Amer
lean people are toe dense to note that
Republican leaders are shaking one
fist at the trusts and with the other
hanc collecting campaign contributions
from these unlawful combines. But II

won't 90. The people are not such fools
as to heed the words and ignore the
acts Of the Republican party. Actions
speak louder than Words and all the
actions, policies and official movements
of the party in power have tended to
promote and protect monopolies.
Under this administration more
trusts and combinations in restraint Of
trade have been formed than in a
dozen years Observation-Disclosures the

over So, oOO. 100000,
There is a stringent law against
trusts upon the federal statute books
already, and the supreme court Of the
United States has held that the attor-
ney general has q constitutional rs-ht
to proceed against every combination
organized or operated to restrict the
trade. control the market or crush corr
petition. But the attorney general, a
trust attorney from the trust breeding
state of New Jersey. has given i'm
naunity to these concerns and refused
to enforce the existing law, upon the
plea that 81 would be superoficious to
attempt a crusade against affairs with
which I have no business" And this is
the party and these are the men who
profess to be fighting the trusts.
Mr.. Bryan believes congress has the
power to deal with trusts. and that it
has the power to withdraw from the
trusts the government favoritism
which has made them powerful and in
solent. But congress has not the in
clination, it would seem.
The state, however, should not be
shorp of it's power to deal with this
evil. Every state has, or should
have" says Mr.. Bryan, the right to
create any private corporation which.
in the judgment of the people of the
state, is conducive to the welfare of
its people. The people of a state are
able always to settle a question which
concerns them alone. II they create a
corporation, and it becomes destructive
of their best interests, they have power
to destroy that corporation; but if the
corporation which Expresses them is a
foreign corporation, created in another
state, they cannot destroy it. They
should have power to exclude it. In
other words the people of a state
should have not only a right to create
the corporations they want. but they
should be permitted to protect them
selves against any outside corpora
ton"

JUDICIAL CANDIDATES.

In the selection Of candidates for the
judicial positions the Democratic party
should be careful to choose only those
who can obtain the endorsement of the
bar. This has been the record of the
party in the pasta record which has
given it success when its opponents
were III the majority As a matter of
good politics it behooves the party and
its leaders to exercise the same care
and elaboration in the selection of
judges that would be the rule if there
were no parties, no politicians and no
personal preferences to be considered.
But this is a question which appeals
to more than political judgment. It
concerns the people as a whole. It
appeals to the voter as a member of
society. It concerns the citizen rather
than the partisan.
What the legal profession demands
is an honest, learned and independent
judiciary. And this is what the peo-
pie want. The ideal Judge is a man
Of learning, yet one who is not fet-
tered by his erudition. He should have
education. but not that which crowds
out common sense and broad 5udg-
ment. He must be familiar with court
practice, yet free from personal or pro-
fessional interest in litigation. Above
ali things, he should be independent
and upright-the friend Of the young,
the misguided, the DECEIVED. the be-
trayed: the foe of pesy malefactors.

Do you know he made a kick when

HE said he wouldn't kick on hirin'
some men to take the bosses out of his
rig an haul him TO the tavern, but he'd
be derned if he didn't draw the line on
the flowers. You see, Johnny, Tommy
once enjoyed the carriage play an liked
it pretty well, but he knows now he can't
have anything like that done for him
again without he pays for the privilege.

THE BOY WITH THE SPADE.

Chicago Tribune.)
No weight of ages bows him down,
That barefoot boy with fingers brown;
There's nothing empty in his face;
No burdens of the human race
Are on his back. nor is he dead
To joy or sorrow, hope or dread.
For he can grieYe, and he can hope,
Can shrink with all his soul from soap.
No brother TO the OK is he.
He's second cousin to the bee;
He lOosens and lets down his jaw
And brings it up-his gum to 'chaw."
There's naught but sweat upon his brow,
IT'S slanted somewhat forward now,
His eyes are bright with eager light,
He's working with an appetite.
All, no. That boy is not afraid
TO WELD with ali his strength his spade
Nor has he any spite at fate
Hes digging angleWorns for bait.
