The Common Sense Way.

1N VIEW of the confusion existing
in the public mind as to the
Il motives and purposes of the
Roosevelt administration with re-
gard to trusts, the Philadelphia Press
has performed a timely service in de-
failing one of its editors, Colonel Nc
| Cain, to ascertain and publish the exact
facts.
What the department of Justice hopes
| for, Colonel Mccain asserts, is speedy
and favorable decision in certain cases
now pending, affecting combinations Of
| capital and community of interest, so
called, to the end that where present
antitrust laws lack scope they may
be amended or new measures prepared
which will prove effective. There are
certain vital points of interest common
to hundreds Of trusts. If Il decision
defining the scope of the antitrust law
can be obtained from the Supreme
court upon one of these important
points, then all that need be done in the
future will be to invoke this decision
against an unlawful trust 1t will
eliminate the necessity of setting all the
machinery of the law to work, as is
now the case. In other words, the OBJ
ject of the president and his attorney
general Is to obtain Il decision in one
case that will prove effective, once it
becomes of record, i'm a thousand other
cases. This has been the object behind
every action taken against trusts thus
far by the department of justice.
one vital point in this trust issue
upon which the department is concen-
trating its efforts is to obtain IA de-
cision from the Supreme court which
will forever end the obnoxious system
of rebates in operation among the Lead
ing railroads of the United States. The
secret of success of great combinations
of capital is the ability TO build them
selves a. the expense of small compe-
ttors through railroad rebates. 1t Is
the one evil common to all trusts, and
which, once definitely decided, will en-
able the attorney general to strike right
and left at trusts which are disobey-
ing the law. This, according TO the
views of President Roosevelt and At
great lawyers in touch with the ad-
minlstration policy, Is the secret of the
supremacy of scores of illegal combina-
tons of capital which are expressing
or harassing the people, Once the law
prohibiting rebates Is declared ade-
quate in the cases now awaiting de-
clsion. that instant scores of trusts are
robbed of one-half their power. The
government desires to outlaw the ac-
ceptance as well as the giving of re-
bates; and in this desire it has the
support of some of the ablest railway
managements in the country, notably
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
Another objective point. lying back of
the governments attack upon the
Northern Securities company, is to test
the validity of New Jerseys corpora
tion laws; TO find out whether or not

victory in Wisconsin, which
has sent to the rear the men
who have conducted Repub-
lican politics in that state for the past
twenty-five years arose from the last
legislatures refusal to enact direct

porate interests, but conceded by all to
be one Of the most resourceful. intelli-
gent and useful members of congress:
II man whose name Is attached to more
first-class constructive legislat tion than
that of any contemporary, and who has
Il positive genius for .harmonizing diff
ferenccs in the senate; goes down with
a crash. martyred to make a La Fol-
lette holiday.
The defeat of Mr.. Spooner is unfor-
tunate. Whatever his alignment in the
and record for valuable service in
Washington made extremely desirable
his reelection. When they shall have
regained Il normal condition of temper
and self-poise. the Republicans of the
Badger state, with restored sense Of
proportions, will regret this feature Of
their revolution and we sincerely hope
that they will come to their senses in
time to repair the damage. Mr.. Spooner
Is Il senator of the first rank; a man of
the finest principles. and one who would
not modify his convictions to fit any
whim of the hour, no matter what the
cost to himself. AS the case stands. he
is out. The state convention has hand
cuffed him and without dishonoring
himself he cannot seek continuance on
it's terms. The recol of party senti-
ment from an excess of factionalsm
may. however, come in time to loose
these shackles and enable him to re-
main at his post without sacrifice of
sefrespect. We think the country will
be pretty nearly unanimous in hoping
ana quietly working for this end.
The Spooner feature aside, La Fol-
lette's victory has impressive general
significance. 1t is another large sign of
an advancing new era in American
politics: Il young mems era: Il cutting
loose from old machines and rusted
machinery and the institution of mod
erniZed political appliances and ideas.
This movement has not reached pro-
portions in Pennsylvania as yet, be-
cause it has not had the right kind of
leadership. But some day it is likely
to find such leadership, and then some
thing will be doing.

THE 500 CANAL.
From Ainslee's Magazine.


The st. NTary's river, ninety miles in
length, connecting Lake Superior with
Lake Huron, has been highly developed
for commercial purposes by government
expenditure of large sums of money in
clearing away the smaller rapids but the
big rapid near the northern end of the
river, the Snult rapdD Ste. Marie (Saint

converted into the 500 could not be
disposed of in like manner and was over
come by the construction of Il United
States ship canal containing the largest
lock in the world. There the vessels go
up and down an eighteen-foot stairway in
almost continuous lines.
An accurate record is kept of the traf-
tic through this lock, the aggregate of
which is :5.0OO,0OO tons annually: 15,0OO.OOO
tons is iron ore. and 4.000.000 is coal. The
remainder is grain and its chief product
is. 900, 900 bushels of wheat and 1000 900
barrels of flour. The total cstima ted
value of the traffic passing through the
500 lock is $2Sl ,3647 100.

j. the delegates to the Indianapolis
convention in the matter of liv-
ing up 10 contracts does much to in
crease respect for them. 1t is easy to

dehberative element was to Il man OPP
posed to Il sympa thetic strike involving
pertidy in contract obligations. Those
who shouted for Il general strike We're
men whose emotions ran away with

Looking backward, it seems a pity
that this conservative element did not
more emphatically assert itself in the
anthracite field prior to the Hazleton
convention. Had it done so. there
would have been no strike, and it would
not now be necessary to levy upon the
earnings of the soft coal workers to
provide means of relief in the unthra-
cite districts. Just a little extra effort
on the part of the men who knew in
their own hearts that this strike was
unWise would have averted it. The
thinking miners have come nobly to
the front at indianapolis and saved
their organization from a stain which
would have been exceedingly damag-
ing, if not fatal. This lesson should

ments made in the name of their

The assessment feature as outlined
by John Mitchell is fair and well de-
vised. 1t will prolong but we fear that
it will not win the strike. Two hun
dred thousand men cannot support
themselves and carry 100000 other men
in idleness at the same time. The load,
however heartily assumed in the begin
ning-and there is something fine in the
unseltish manner in which organized

laid down. until at the last the su-
perior resources of the great coal min

overcome the resistance through stress
of the mems necessity.
But the one lesson most conspicuous
ly taught by the Indianapolis conven-
tion is the interest taken by it's menu
