Among the few lines given to the sub
3ect of trusts in the presidents mes
sage we Tad the following: 1T is ap-
parent that uniform legislation upon this
subject in the several states is much to
be desired" Then follows the sugges-
tion that congress supplement- such
state laws with well a digested act
which will tend to mitigate the evils
consequent on unjust combinations OF
capital
While this part Of the presidents mes
sage was disappointing, it contained a
hint indicating. perhaps, the only wav
IN which trusts can be handled for MANY
years 10 come. As the supreme court
mas seen fit to apply to the antitrust
law strict constitutional construction,
throwing the burden upon the states, We
have nothing to do but to accept the
situation and make the best of it. With
a fuller and broader discussion of the
subject. it is possible that the supreme
court will reverse itself Qts decisions on
the trust question not being unanimous,
but that consummation, although de-
voutly 10 be wished, is 50 remote that it
is better 10 accept the situation and
fight the trusts with the weapons at
hand
The supreme court takes the position
that trusts are the creatures of the
states and the federal authorities have
nothing to 90 with them, except where
their field of operations laps over into
the realm of interstate commerce
1t is true that corporations exist only
by authority Of the state. and the state

This peculiar fecundity of that state Of
sand and mosquitoes would be of no avail
if uniform code of laws, regulating the
creation and management of foreign cor
porations, should be enacted.
The question of governing the trusts,
then, is up to the several states. They
must lay the foundation for a system Of
trust control, to be followed out BY eed-
eral legislation to meet the cases which
reach beyond the confines of state sover-
eighty.
The trust children must be controlled
and punished, if need be, within the state
play ground, where they were born, or
where they were allowed by special per-
mission to come and play. 1t Is only when
they become so big that they aisdain the
home tutelage that the federal courts viii
notice them.
How is this uniformity of state legisla-
ton to be brought about? No one will
deny that the crying need for legislation
is along the lines suggested by the presi-
dent The people will back any sound
and equitable legislation which may be
enacted toecurb, what every one feels to
be, a menace to our Industrial system
Many Of the states have no laws to pre-
vent or control monopolstic combinations
Only tNenty-three states have laws toucn-
ing the subject, and of these, several laws
apply only to insurance companies A
call for a convention by the governor of
any state to meet at some central point
for the purpose of framing a uniform
state law for the control of harmful com
binations might meet with a hearty re-
Spouse. The essential thing is concert of
action.
The words of the president, although
only a suggestion, should be needed by
the governor Of every state in his mes
sage to the legisiatufe-'It is apparent
that uniformity Of legislation upon this
subject in the several states is much to

EXIT A DEMAGoGIE.


1t is not so long since Gov. Pingree was
a power in the politics of not only his
state but of the United States. The
action of the legislature on his delna-
gague measure for the taxation of rail-
roads is apparently the last blow needed
to be bestowed on his prestige He is
voted failure in all he ever undertook.
He abandoned his character as an ad-
vanced reforner and showed the
''brummagem' in his makeup in the last
election. No banquet which he may give
will enable him to cover up the empty
farce which his entire public career has
been.
1t will doubtless dawn upon the Ameri-
can electorate before many more cleo
tons have come and gone that men in
public life who are untrue to their friends
cannot be true to themselves. Such men
as Tfngree it has not been possible to
locate in the political world for any ex,
tended period in any one position Put
ting themselves forward as evangelfsts
they end as mountebanks. The munich
pal ownership of public utilities was the
great card which mis- millionaire reform
er played for his success at the outset
He assaiIed other mems property while
holding on to his own. He found prom
ises as cheap and quite as brittle as pie
crusts. Detroit IS farther today from the
ownership of its street car lines than it
was even before Pingree's name was
heard Of. After having assailed time and
again the integrity of the bench and de-
nounced the supreme court OF his own
state in unmeasured terms, he is now re-
vealed to view as offering a banquet In
honor eff that tribunal. ard being denied
the use of the senate chamber in which
to hold it by the representatives, in pub
lie life of the party to which he pro-
fcsses to belong.
1t will be a good thing for the public
life of the country when characters of
this kind are relegated to the obscurity
from which their outbursts of demagog-
ism lift them. The result of the last
presidential election has given them their
quietus as q class. There are many men
of good intent and good ability who have
during the past four years identified
themselves with the false radicalism of
which men CT the Pingree type have been
the prophets. These men will always be
valued at their true worth; but for
those who, like Ptngree. have for theil
own purpose rnisled and abused the con-
hdence of the honest men who have fol-
lowed them, there never will be any
feeling or the part Of the mass of the
American people save che OF unqualified
opposition and dislike.
Now that a whole lot Of well-meanins
| Americans have returned to true IN
derstanding. OF what the country de-
nlands and what is to It's interest in pub
lie policies, we may safely look forward
IL the Immediate future to the perma-
nent disappearance of such men from the
| field CT American politics.

DEMOCRATS IN THE LEG1sLATuRE

DEMOCRATS IN THE LEGISLATJRF
The Republican party has habit of
acting as a unit. 1t has developed the
problem Of united and harmonious action
with remarkable success. Republicans are
in politics always and at all times, be-
tween elections as well as any other time.
They never ahate their energy and vigil
lance. You don't catch them sleeping
No matter what comes up they are al
ways found acting as a unit for the bene-
fit of their party.
Democrats, on the other hand, are in
clined to sink their partisanship, especial
ly between elections. OF course the
party itself stands largely for Individual
ism, and The personal taste of many of
it's members runs strongly in this same
line. AS a result it seems natural for
Democrats to go each his own way and
let the party take care of itself This
tendency, of course, causes great injury
to the party, and it is the duty of all
good Democrats to counterfeit it as much
as possible
This matter is of special importance for
the Democratic members of the coming
legislature. Although but minority, yet
if they will act with harmony and de-
liberation, they will have ample oppor-
tunity to work fer the welfare of the
state and the party. A great many i'm
portant questions will come up before the
legislature Many of the reform meas
ures for which Gov. Lind has been work
ing so faithfully and which it was impos-
sble to push through during the short
two years of his term of Office will come
it is not possible to get them adopted,
the people should be shown clearly and
enphatically where the Democratic party
stands
The Democratic minority in the legis-
lature should secure all the cohesiveness
they can get They should work as an
energetic unit, according to carefully con-
sidered plans To secure this result, it
would be well for them to hold a caucus
some time before the legislature convenes.
This would give the new members a
chance to get acquainted. 1t would also
afford an opportunity to outline definite
plans for the session. Such plans are
necessary There will be measures intro
duced demanding the strongest united
support of the Democratic members, and
others, which it will be necessary, in the
interest of the people, to oppose just as
strongly. The Democratic minority viii
have a chance to make a record, and this
record will have a strong influence on
the future of the party in the state Let
them make the best of their opportunity.
Let them show where they stand.

opposition to the principle OF public con-
duct which underlies the act
1t is true that government has become
invested with the character of an endow-
ment society in the estimation of many
of the leading spirits of the dominant
party. The tendency to so regard it
must ever increase in the ratio in which
the underlying principles of the democra-
cy are disregarded in its administration
Had Thomas jefferson ever received
from his country 1.-THE of the recogni-
ton which his glorious services in the
cause Of free government might have die
tated, his library would never have sought
a purchaser in the government. His debts
would never have remained with him to
disturb the serenity of his Closing days,
and he would have died in opulence, in
stead of having passed away practically
penniiess, his splendid fortune squandcr-
ed, as the result of his unfailing attach
ment to the great principles which he en-
duringly embodied in the institutions of
his country.
1t will be surprising if this act does not
return to plague it's authors. Had the
friends of Congressman Boutelle had any
true conception OF what was really due his
name as an American public servant
they would never have fastened upon
him the stigma which must inevitably at
tach to his memory by being thus made
public usage or law to sustain the act.

Lose Them Their Places
New York Tribune.
|. A. Swanson, Of Chicago, an ex-army
officer, in speaking at the Grand hotea
of some amusing incidents that had como
under his notice in his army career, said:
During the Civil War for some reason
they were anxious to move troops up Tie
Tonbigbee river. Word was sent to the
engineer in that district asking what it
would cost to run up the Tombigbee
That official got gay and reported that
the Tombgbee ran down and not up, a
joke that promptly landed his head in
the basket, as the matter was Serious
AT the bomb9rdment Of Charleston It
was extremely desirable to bring TO bear
on the city an extra heavy gun called by
the men the Swamp Angel. The gun took
it's name from the swamp in which it
stood and to move it through that Doggy
merass was an engineering feat of ext
IRENE difficulty. However. the eomm1nd-
ing officers were determined to have the
gun brought within range of Charleston
and issued orders to that effect At the
same time they sent word to the engineer
having the matter in charge to requisi-
ton without regard to trouble or ex
pense for anything necessary to accom-
plish The desired object. His first 1c-
QUESTION called for men 2G feet inches
in height Another officer promptly took
the matter in charge, from which it can
readily be deduced that it is not paying
investment to make jokes in the army

wANTED-A MERCHANT MARINE.


Last year only a little over per cent
of our exports and imports were carried
in ships under. the American flag. We
paid foreign nations, principally Eng
land and Germany, $5OO,O0O day in gold
for transporting our foreign commerce.
In our war with Spain, short as it was, we
had to hunt the seas over for transports
and golfers, and forty of them had to
be purchased or chartered from foreign
nations because there were not enough
American ships to supply our needs.
If the laws Of neutrality had been rigid
ly enforced it might have been impossi-
BILE for us to secure those forty foreign
ships; and then, suppose that, instead of
poor, decrepit Spain, we had had some
first-class power to fight in war lasting
a year or more! Our lack of ships for
transports and Golfers would certainly
have put us at an enormous disadvantage.
Every war requires many ships for this
purpose. The result is always a scarcity
of ships for commerce and a corresnond
ing Increase in freight rates. AS our
foreign commerce is carried almost en-
tirely in European ships, European
war would be national calamity
for the United States; whereas, had
we the ships to do our own
shipping, war between any of
the powers, or a general European war,
with England and Germany pftted
against Russia and France, would be
veritable gold mine for us. AS it is. it
would mean deadlock for our foreign
commerce and our own farmers, laborers,
and manufacturers, would suffer almost
as much as those of the countries con-
cerned. Of course, no enc will say that
such war is probable, but as European
affairs are, it is at least possible for
complications to arise and precipftate it
at almost any time Allof which goes
to show that lack of a strong merchant
marine is a constant menace to the vel
fare Of our country.

A BAD PRECEDENT

There can be no denial of the claim
that Congressman Boutelle deserved well
of the country. His services in the house
have been of the highest value; and the
illness which is now upon him may be
accepted as the result of over-devotion
to his duties as a public representa- tive.
And when that is said, all is said that
can be urged in sustainment of the meas
ure which the lower house has just
passed by unanimous consent.
If Mr.. Boutelle is entitled to a govern
ment gratutty, so is every devoted man
who has given his life and energies to the
service of his country and has been
forced, whether through popular tickle
ness or wasted energies to pass his clos
ing days in obscurity, and perhaps in
want Happily, for the good name of the
American people and for the perpetuity
of representative institutions, there are
many of such men living today; while the
political history of the country reveals
the names of countess men who gave
better than Congressman Boutelle ever
had it in him to give, and received no
recognition whatever from their country
in their old age.
1t is of course a thankless task to urge
such a view at this time. when the merit
of the Maine congressman is so generally
recognized that not a dissenting voice is
heard in the house of representatives on
the passage of the measure which places
him on the retired list as a naval cap
tain. The precedent however, is one
which should never have been establish
ed; and, even should the undertaking be
carried to successful close, public opin-
ion should not fail to. find expression in
