Their Proper Course.

While the jobbers OF the Middle West
as q body are trying to persuade the
interstate commerce commission to
make rulings that will enable them to
enter Coast territory. far-sighted and
fair merchants see what is clearly their
only proper course. Those who are ia
miliar with the conditions Of trade and
especially those who have visited this
country in person confess that It Is
necessary for them to open branch
Offices here. This Is not because Of any
regulations Of trade or disadvantage in
freight rates, but is simple business
proposition. The Coast presents the
finest field in this country today for the
establishment and expansion Of the
jobbing and wholesale trade. But the
men who seize the opportunity must be
on the ground.
The trouble with the jobber Of the East
and Middle West is that he has not yet
realized at all the conditions Of BUSH
ness here. He is twenty years behind
the times. He knows that there is good
business to be done on the Pacific coast.
But he thinks that 1t is territory to be
covered by sending out a few drum
mers and getting some ruling from the
interstate commission that will permit
the filling of such orders as they take
on terms more favorable than our own
merchants can offer. 1t is not only an
unfair position. but It is view SO mar
row and inadequate that we are sur
prised to find It entertained by any who
pretend to call themselves business
men.
A visiting representative of Eastern
concerns says that rs per cent. OF the
large Eastern jobbers will open
branches of their own in the Pacific
Northwest. That will be satisfactory
to US and to them. We do not seek to
shut out competition, but to make it
legitimate. If our jobbers should seek
trade east Of the mountains to any
considerable extent, they would have
to set up branch establishments in that
territory. The rule should hold good
both ways. We welcome the entry into
the field OF our commerce of live men
and capital from every source. Let
them come and cast in their lot with
ours, and they will have a hearty well
come without discrimination. This is
their proper course. The man who en-
tiers the fold by the open door needs no
other credentials. II he tries to climb
in some other way. through discrimina-
ton by the interstate commission. for
instance. the name that applies to him
is not a pretty one.

President Hadley, of Yale, advises that
when man operates a trust against the
public good he should be disqualified So
cially. This remedy might prove effective
with the pink tea trust man. but most OF
the trust people do not seem to care for
invitations to dinner, etc.-Chicago News

President Hadley, of Yale, recommends
social ostracism against those who con-
troll trusts. He says IL they were never
invited out to dinner. their families never
recognized, and If public opinion express
ed itself in other ways in the social rela-
tons of life, the condemnation would
prove mighty in influencing men to keep
out of trusts. 1t might those who haven't
money enough to get into q trust, but
those who have would not only go ahead
and get into trusts, but would get into
society, too. The dollar is a great card
of introduction and letter of recommend
ation.-Council Bluffs Nonpareil.

The Brooklyn Eagle states case
succinctly when 1t says. I'VE are dis
covering what the trust problem is. So
it ought not to be long before we have
solved it." This is in recognition Of a
common element in the opinions Of d.
verse observers. Mr.. Havemeyer and
Mr.. Rockefeller look upon big corpor-
atoms as a necessary element Of busi-
ness. They desire Federal regulation
as business necessity, to render GER
tain and facilitate operations. Mr..
Bryan would wipe out trusts II he could,
but in any event would regulate them.
Gov. Roosevelt and other executives are
recommending laws for the protection
Of the public rather than the destruc-
ton Of the trusts. And President Had
ley calls not for their demolition but
for a higher ethical standard in busi-
ness dealings. It appears that opinions
at bottom on this subject are not so
irreconcilable as they were supposed to
be. The American people have been
studying the trust problem without the
passion and confusion Of political
campaign over it. and who shall say
that they have not made good progress?
