The Governors veto OF the Joss railroad
consolidation bill emphasizes some facts
which should be One IS the
persistence of corporations In their efforts
&c obtain desired ends. individuals die. but
corporations live indefinitely. Legislative
terms expire by limitation. but corporations
have a continuing existence. Public rights
are sometimes left unguarded. but corpora
ton rights never. Once committed to a
particular policy or the attainment of .
particular end, and corporations are much
more apt to be untiring In the pursuit Of
them than legislatures are to be v~igilant in
resisting their encroachments. This grows
out Of the natural disposition Of corpora
tIons to be always trying to extend and
fortify their franchises. and the facility
with which they can renew and continue
such efforts year after year. This is an
important point and should be borne IN
mind by legislatures, whose special duty IL
is to guard the rights of the people against
encroachment from any quarter. Corpora
lions have their rights, but they are gen.

cause there are those who assume that
the more ignorant and inexperienced the
people the better they are fitted for self
government. The Cuban leaders do not yet
accept our terms. but time and negotiation
win prepare them for the position that
Cuba. as a small and poor state. must oc-
cupy In the world OF nations. IL must be
content TO have the United States guaran-
tee It's existence.
The same IS true OF the legislation In
reference to the Philippines. The Philip
pine Commission and the army are rapidly
tranquiiizing the archipelago. Better gov
eminent. greater freedom and security than
the natives OF those Islands ever knew
before have come 20 them with the author
ity OF the United States. They are learning
that the flag OF the United States means for
them better things than they have ever
dreamed OF. With this progress going on.
IL would nave been unfortunate In the ex-
treme for Congress TO have postponed the
legislation that would make It possible to
set up local civil government by our author
ties and the assistance Of the people. In
both Cuba and the Philippines the setting
up OF popular government has been begun
under favorable auspices. In both the
process is largely educational and must
be slow, but the American people may con-
graduate themselves that IL has been well
begun and that the getting of the neces-
sary legislation without an extra session
