!, Last week we, and large number of
other papers, published four constitut-
ional amendments to be voted on this
fall. We wonder how many people know
or care-what they were about. And
yet that is the referendum" which some
people. papers and political parties think
so necessary and useful, that every law
passed by the legislature should be sub
jected to the same process.

They say the Republican platform does
not take a decided stand in favor of pro.
hibition- neither does it take a stand
against theft, swearing, murder or other
crimes. The subject Of re-submission
was not an issue at the time of the Re.
publican convention.
Now, if the Democratic convention
had seen fit to say in this platform that it
wanted to change the constitution SO that
stealing shall be licensed as trade, we
suppose that some papers would brand
the Republican convention as cowardly
flor lodging that issue.
Really, however, the argument used,
and the only argument they dare to use
against the prohibition law, is that it is

very men who either by precept or ex-
ample violate the law, who use the argu-
ment most. Not paper, and but few

which those represents can, IL they sec
At, base their actions later. The publicity
itself would cure many evils. Some OF
these things have said can be done now.
A good deal is being done now. AS far
as the antitrust laws go they will be
enforced. No suit will be undertaken for
the sake Of seeming to undertake it, EV-
cry suit that is undertaken will be begun
because the great lawyer and upright
man whom we are so fortunate as to
have as Attorney General. Mr.. Knox, be-
lieves that there Is violation of the law
which we can get at and when the suit
Is undertaken 1t won't be compromised
excepting on the basis that the govern
ment wins.
"Of course, gentlemen no laws amount
to anything unless they are administered
honestly and fearlessly"
Then. believe, l am not going to say
am sure of 1t, but believe 1t is pos
slble to frame national legislation which
shall give us more power than we have
now, at any rate over corporations doing
an Interstate business. l cannot guar
antee it because in the past 1t Is more
than once happened that we have got
laws on the statue books which those
who made them intended to mean one
thing and when they came up to decision
1t was found that the intention had not
successfully been put into effect. But
/ believe that additional legislation can
be had. / think we have got to make
up our minds to the fact that no mat
ter what our reverence to the past may
be our duty to the present and future
will force us to see that more power is
conferred upon the national administra-
ton When the power has been con-
ferred it will rest with the national gov
eminent TO exercise it. AT present We
are going to do the best we can with
strawless bricks, but remember they are
bound to be strawless. Finally men and
women of New England; man and wo-
men of a State that represents so much
that has always represented 50 much

and after that power has been exercised
In the wisest and most resolute fashion.

est. When a great corporation is sued
for violating the antitrust law, 1t Is not
a move against property; 1t Is move In
favor of property because when you can
make 1t evident that all men, big and
small, alike have to obey the law, you
are putting the safeguard of law around
all men. When you make it evident that
no man shall be excused from violating
the law. you make it evident that every
man will be protected from violation OF
law l am inclined to think that much
of the greatest trouble in any immdie
ate handling of the question OF the trust
comes from our system OF government
Let me go back one moment. l want 10
guard what l am saying. l want you TO
understand that my words are being taken
| ut their exact face value; remember, L
| am not saying that even If we had all hte
power we could completely solve the
trust question Gentlemen, IL what we
read in the newspapers is true, they are
| speaking of q number OF international
| trusts now. 1t would be very difhcult
| for any set of laws. on our part, to deal
completely with a problem which pe-
| comes international in its bearings, but a
great deal can be done in various ways
| now. A great deal is being done, and
| great deal can be done II we can see
| That the power is put somewhere to do
| II On the whole, our system OF govern
mont has worked marvelously well. the

eminent, of arranging scheme under

Rut while l most firmly believe in fiXity
of policy, 1 do not believe that policy
should be fossilized, and il 1T is to be
ct,anped. we must change our govern
mental method to meet 1t.
81 believe with all my heart IN the
New England town meeting, but you can
not work the New England town meeting
in BOSTON. You have got to try
something else. Now. when this govern
ment was founded, there were no great
individual or corporate fortunes, and
commerce and industry were being car

erence to what will be done under it, bait
with reference to it's effects on the opin-
ions of the voters. That Is bad thing.
When any body of lawmakers passes a
law not solely with reference as to wheth-
er that law will do good or Ill, but with
the knowledge that not much will come of
it and yet that perhaps the people as
WHOLE will likely think 1t was good, 1t
does not speak well for the lawmakers
and it does not speak very well for the
people either What hope to see is pow
err given to the National Legislature,
which shall make the control real 1t
would be an excellent thing II we could
have all the Statec act on somewhat SIM
liar lines, so that it would be unnecessary
for the national government to act, but
all of you know perfectly we'll the States
will not act on somewhat similar lines.
Nothing has been done in the direc-
ton of intelligent dealing by the States
as a collective body with these great
corporations. Here in Massachusetts you
have what l regard as on the whole ex-
collection corporation laws. l think That
most of our difficulties-here again re-
member / am not promising the millen-
ium, it is not in my power to promise it
would be in a fair way of solution II
we had the power to put on the national
statute books, and did put on them, laws
for the nation much like those you have
here, on the subject Of corporations, in
Massachusetts"
so, you can see gentlemen. I am not
advocating anything very revolutionary.
1 am advocating action TO prevent any
thing revolutionary. Now If we can get
adequate control by the nation of these
corporations, then we can pass legisla-
ton which will give us the power OF regu-
lation and supervision over them. If the
nation had that power, mind You, l
should advocate as strenuously as l know
how. that power should be exercised with
extreme caution and self-restraint. No
good will come from plunging in without

Attorney General took action against a

DEFINITELY so that the action of the gov
eminent cannot be evaded by any turn
ing within or without Federal or State
statutes. At present we have really no
| actual control over a big corporation
| which does business in more than one
State. Frequently the corporation has
nothing to do whatever with the state in
| which it is incorporated except to get in
| corporated and its actions may be taken
| in entirely different communications
munities which may object very much to

named. l do not think you can get action

result is at present that we have a great,

no creator to which II is responsible.
"Of course. 1t is a mere truism that the
corporation is the creature Of the State;
that the State is sovereign. Now l want
to make a real and not a nominal sover-
eign; to have some one sovereign to which
the corporation shall be really and not
nominally responsible.
AT present If we pass laws nobody

In the first place the corporation becomes

the next place, gentlemen, the law-mak-

custom of passing law, not with ref
