Regulation by Bulldozin 9 4.

Our independent contemporary OF In
dianapolis, the Ners. may well open its
mind again to the important subject Of
trust regulation according to the Knox
programme. to which President RoosE-
WELT has given his approval. We sub
join the Ners's present view
TIE SIN is horrined tina, the Attorney General
OF the United states should suggest the ACCESSIBILITY
OF denying combinations tina, operate In restraint
Of trade the nigh, TO engage In Interstate commerce
We do no, sec anything very startling about o."
The destruction Of any great business
organization, for which the trust hunters
hunger, cannot be a trifing matter. 1t
is sure to cause trouble and damage
outside of the immediate victim. The
Sherman act wisely puts the great power
TO do anything so momentous into the
keeping of the courts. 1t is now for the
courts to determine whether an accused
corporation ia in restraint Of trade, and
is to be disrupted. But Mr.. kNoxs
scheme aims at regulating all corpora
tons by establishing the power of the
Government to prevent the transporta-
ton Of their goods from State to State.
Under the Sherman act every combi-
nation in the form Of trust or otherwise
in restraint of trade is declared illegal
and can be scattered TO the winds. The
fact that that law is on the statute books
emphasizes the objection to the proposed
policy of bulldozing business by means
Of the power in Congress to regulate in
terstate commerce. a policy that would
create whirlpool Of coercion into which
the individual citizen would be inevitably
swept.

The peculiar difficulties Of an agri-
cultural trust on account Of the vast ex-
tent OF the field and the number of pro-
ducers and the uncertainty OF crops do
not escape the projectors Of the new
society; but they believe that their plan
is practical and that accurate reports Of
the crops and a minimum price will ap-
peal TO the farmers and millions OF them
will come into the trust. As to con-
trolling production, this feature will
take Cal . Of itself
We have recorded many attempts to
establish farmers trusts, local or general.
Evidently the farmers have begun to see
the advantages Of combination. 1nev-
itably they will seek to apply to their
business a principle and a method that
are 80 fertile and powerful in other forms
of business. While the half-cock states
men are shooting blank cartridges at
the trusts or weeping like crocodiles over
thedowntrodden and trust -ridden farmer,
he is getting up trust Of his own. Like
the sensible man he is. Fight trust with
trust. That is the law of self-protection
in the modern business world. But how
It must surprise and sadden the half
cock statesmen eager for laws against
trusts to see the farmers making trusts.

Church Attendance in Lond IN

The religious census of London which
the Daily News OF that town is taking has
proceeded at last accounts to the enumer-
alton of the Sunday church attendance in
three only of the twenty eight boroughs
into which London is divided. The CEN
sus taken in two OF these, Hampstead
and Kensington, we have already given.
1t showed that of the total population
Of the two boroughs, less than one-quar-
ter was in attendance on the churches at
both the morning and evening services
on the November Sunday when the emu
meration was made.
On the first Sunday Of December the
aggregate attendance was counted in
the borough of Battersea and 1t was only
one in seven Of the population, though
on that day the weather was far more
favorable than when the count was made
in the o' lers.
Battersea is typical industrial bor-
ough, and the statistics are particularly
suggestive on that account. The Lon
don Guardian had predicted after the
census in Hampstead and Kensington
that the results shown in the poorer dis
tricts would be more favorable, as con-
Germs the attendance on Church of Eng
land services especially. but actually
they were worse in industrial Battersea.
Here is a summary of the census as
so FAR reported:
