READING ADVERTISEMENTS.

Great Falls Tribune: 1t is now
pretty well understood by newspaper
mously agreed by business men who
are chiefly interested to make their
enterprises as successful as possible,
that there is a definite money value in
the advertisements that appear in the
pages of a newspaper. In those col
ums appear the news announcements

while to give the purchasing pubic

brief incumbency. This instance
stands alone in the country's history
as an illustration of the strange freaks
of the law regulating presidential sue
cession. Ordinarily the operation Of
the law is very satisfactory. Attention
was attracted to the weakness of the
present statute by the death Of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and good care will be
taken to SO frame a new measure that
no mor pranks will be played by the
law governing the Office of president.

REPORT ON A

Omaha Bee: The senate committee
on foreign relations having voted to
f~avorably report the new isthmian
canal treaty and to urge its early rat
i1cation, there is favorable promise
that it will soon be disposed of, per-
haps before the adjournment of the
senate for the holiday recess. Two of
the democratic members of the com
mittee objected to the neutrality pro-
vision and to the clause relating to
the policing of the canal, but they did
not vote against the treaty and doubt
less will not when it shall come UP for
ratification. Indeed, they are said to
have expressed themselves as DESTROYS
that it be ratified, so that there may
be no more unnecessary delay in leg
islating for the great enterprise.
There appears to be no doubt, there
fore, that the convention will be rati-
fed and there certainly is no sound
reason why it should not be. The nue.
trallzation principle which the treaty
recognizes is as much in the interest
OF the United States as of any other
country and it is manifestly absurd to
argue that it would place this country
at a disadvantage under any circum-
ances. The idea, also, that the
clause relating to the policing of the
mi places a limitation upon the
power of this country to absolutely
control it is without force. The Unit
ed States has secured in this treaty
all it asked and there ought to be no
question as to the duty of ratifying it.

PRESIDENT FOR A DAY.

Butte Inter Mountain: One of the
duties of the present congress will
be that of so amending the law relat.
ing to presidential succession so that
there will be no ambiguity or room for
misconstruction in the Interpretation
of the act. That there is a need for
such amendment is generally admit.
ted AS the law reads now there is a
possibility of the secretary of state
serving as president for a full term of
four years should both president and
vice president die after their election
but before Inauguration. The law
regulating the succession in the pres
idential Office plainly says that upon
the death Of the president and vice
president the secretary of state shall
hold the Office of chief executive 'un-
til a president is elected" This pro-
vision opens the way for a number
of annoying and embarrassing compli-
cations which the present congress
will provide against.
One of the odd phases of the law
governing the succession in the presi-
Dental chair occurred during the brief
interim between the administrations
of James X. Polk and Zachariah Tay-
lor. The term of the former president
expired March 4, 1849, at noon, and at
noon the following day his Successor
was sworn into Office. During the in
tervening "a hours Hon. David Rice
Atkinson, president pro TEN. of the
senate, was in effect. and under the
law of succession at that time, presi-
dent of the United States. Happily
no duty demanding the exercise of
power on the part of the chief execu-
tive came up during Mr.. Atchinson's

LITTLEFIELD's REMEDY.

st. Paul Dispatch: The president
said, in discussing the trust develop
ment, that 'the first requisite is
knowledge, full and complete-knowl-
edge which may be made public to the
world" To attain this knowledge the
government must assume power of
supervision yer all corporations doing
ar interstate business" On this line,
Representative Littlefield of Maine
drew the bill he introduced on the
first day of the session. It is limited,
as any national measure must be, with
the present limitations on the power
of congress, to corporations doing an
Interstate business" It requires
such to file with the secretary of the
treasury a complete property return.
They must disclose their name, place
and date Of organization, and that of
all constituent companies; the amount
of capital stock authorized, the num-
Der and par value of shares, the
mount issued and how paid for, and
it paid in property, a detailed descrip-
ton OF it and it's cash market value at
date of transfer. The reports must
further give the details of operation,
liabilities, assets, earnings, income,
expenses, taxes, improvements, divi-
dends declared, salaries and wages
paid.
The bill goes as far as IS possible
until an amendment gives congress
the powers now held by the states. 1t
is doubtful if it will effect it's pur-
pose. The national law providing for
similar publicity by railways has not
prevented what is the main evil in
both cases, the watering of stocks.
A question will at once arise as to
what is interstate commerce. engag-
ing in which would subject a corpora
ton to national supervision. In the
sugar trust case, that organization
was held not to be subject to the anti
trust act Of 1890 because, though it's
products went into interstate COM
merce, the corporation itself was
wholly within one state. The later
manufacturing trusts have a general
office, but retain the names and in
management of the various
plants from which the market is sup
piled. The general office manufac-
lures nothing, sells nothing, ships
nothing; can it be said to be engaged
in interstate commerce? The consti-
tuent companies are created by the
states in which they are located, and
their products into other states
to fill orders; they are not in inter-
state commerce, within the sugar
trust a The same difficulties meet
Mr.. Littlefield's bill that have defeat
ed the antitrust act of congress and
made nugatory the acts of states. Be-
fore n %eficacious legislation can be
enacted the states must surrender
their jurisdiction over corporations.
