Publicity For the Trusts.

LIN the figures now presented by the
New York Journal of Commerce, show
ing the total capitalization Of all in
d"stlal consultations in the United
States to approximate $6.o00.000,0
there is found additional reason for in
siStcnce upon publicity of trust affairs
for the protection of investors and the
general public. says the st. Louis Re-
public.
TO secure obedience to equity and
law the vast businesses carried on
with this gigantic capitalization should
lie subject to systematic scrutiny. The
consolidated corporations in question
enjoy certain privileges which legiti-
mately subject them to supervision
similar to that of the affairs of banks.
They should be required to make sworn
statements of their condition at regu-
lar intervals. The evil of overcapital-
iZation should be guarded against by
accurate public knowledge Of the value
of the properties and business capital
tied.
The peril of the present system Of
trust capitalization is plain. The gen
eral public is in profound ignorance Of
trust conditions. Investors necessarily
take undue chances when they buy
trust securities. There should be at
least reasonable guarantee of safety
to investors as we'll as to consumers.
This guarantee must be found in pub
licity as one measure of regulation.

WHY ASK IT?

The Richmond Times, democratic
paper of the plutocratic breed, asks a
question. We quote it.:
"Now, suppose in the convention OF
1904 a good democratic platform is formu-
lated and adopted in which the party
commits itself TO sound money, or, If you
please, to the gold standard, and nomi-
mates David B. Hill or Grover Cleveland
for the presidency. Under these condi-
tions will Mr.. Bryan support the ticket?'
Everybody ought to be we'll enough
acquainted with Mr.. Bryau's character
-by this time to know that he would not
remain as Hill said he did-"a democrat
still-very still"-and that if he bolted,
as Cleveland did boldly and Hill other
wise, he would not afterwards want to
come back and boss the party he had
helped defeat, as both Hill and Cleveland
do. Should Bryan follow the example
set by Hill and Cleveland, and abandon
the democratic party, he would have fol-
lowers enough to be under no temptation
to try to get back into it again.

n, |. Cook Passes Away.

At 10 80 a. m. Tuesday, II. l.. Cook
after enduring five hours of intense pain
in the region OF the stomach and bowels
died from heart failure.
1t appears that Mrs. Cook being absent
at Tacoma Mr.. Cook took his meals at
his brother-in-law's j. S. Gum, and
Mr.. Cook not coming to breakfast at the
usual time Mr.. Gum went to the Cook
residence on Third street and found Mr..
Cook unable to arise, and suffering with
severe cramps. DR.. Mapes was called
and with the assistance of Mesdames
Riker and Caldwell did all that could be
done to relieve the sufferer.
Mr.. Cook was held in high esteem in
this community and his loss will be
keenly felt in social business circles.
At 1915 Mr.. Cook grew much worse
and J. S. Cook, his brother, and ]. s..
Gum were hastily summoned. but be-
fore they arrived he had breathed his
last.
Fl. /. Cook was born in Shunassy
county, Michigan, SO years ago. In 1890
he came to Aberdeen and founded the
successful business which bears his
name. Eight years ago he married
Miss Florence Stiles, of Tacoma, who,
with one little son. and numerous other
relatives, is left to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Cook was member of the Ma.
sonic lodge and Chapter Of Royal Arch
Masons, of this city. The funeral of Mr..
Cook will be held at his late residence
tomorrow afternoon at 2 O'Clock.

The Costs of Glory.

We are paying a million dollars a
week to run our army, says the Boston
Globe. Leaving pensions out Of the ac-
count. it costs us 81 ,2S9 to maintain one
soldier a year, which is over five times
what it costs to maintain a soldier in
the most extensively equipped army Of
Europe.
We pay high for our army. and If all
the money went for the comfort of the
soldier nobody would complain. 1t
goes where money generally goes in
this high salaried country; nor does it
always go where it will do the most
good.
We raised an appropriation Of $11S..
100000 last year to meet the needs Of
an army of 100000 men, and even that
was several millions below the esti-
mate Of the war department. What
will it be next time?

Speaking OF the "water cure" by de
yrees the truth about that barbarism is
leaking out. The latest contribution to
the fuller and better public knowledge OF
the subject which the president and his
two friends, Root and Lodge, are doing
all they can to suppress, is made by Col.
Stephen Groesbeck, an army officer just
home from the Philippines. There is no
sentiment about Groesbeck. He be-
lieves that the "water cure" is good
thing, and makes no secret of the tact,
which worries the administration that it
has been in general and extensive use by
the American army in the Philippines
for the purpose OF extorting information
from its victims and their friends.
Now this is precisely at the unofficial
reports from the Philippines have had
it all along, and it is precisely what
Roosevelt, Root and Lodge deny. A few
more Boosting blabbers like Groesbeck,
and the administration will have to
change its defense. Instead OF admit
ting that the water-cure is inhuman but
insisting that to "the honor of the
army" it has not been generally prac-
ticed, the president will have to admit
that it has been generally practiced but
insist that to "the honor OF the army"
it is not inhumad.

TRUSTS AND THE LAW. N
Powers That Abide In the President
and His Attorney General.

and His Attorney General.
Judge Owen p. Thompson of Jack
sonville. Ill.,. in his Jackson day address
to the Democratic organizations Of Chi
cago took the ground that trust organ
iZations are in restraint of trade and
that they come within the common law
and may be prevented by federal court
injunction from operating to the in
jury of the community.
In advocating this remedy for the
trust evil Judge Thompson justly pro-
tested that it was no part of the DEM
ocratic creed to oppose honest efforts
of Individuals or corporations in the ac-
cumulation or enjoyment of wealth.
but where the truth is plain that
trust organization operates to destroy
competition. to control by monopoly of
certain lines of industry the output and
price of products. the remedy should
be rigidly applied. That the case comes
within the jurisdiction of the federal
courts he has not the faintest doubt.
News reports covering the effect pro-
duccd by Judge Thompson's address
state that, though the speaker did not
mention President Roosevelt's name,
the inference was plain that he believ-
ed word from the president to the at
torney general of the United States
sufficient to force the trusts back to
lawful business.
This same belief in the federal power
to regulate the trusts is held by the
people Of the several northwestern
states now opposing the movement for
Il consolidation Of the great railway
systems of the northwest, says the st.
Louis Republic. Resolute and agrees
.sive action by the attorney general of
the United States, it is felt, would eff
fcctually prevent consolidation which
cOntemplates the carrying monopoly Of
i :,-cat field. to the sore injury of legit-
mate trade.
Judge Thompson's views seem to de-
serve the earnest attention of the
american people. This will certainly
70 extended. Whether or not the ma
tional administration will seriously
consider his arguments is another ques-
don. Great things were expected Of
President Roosevelt in the way Of q
firm stand against the trusts, but his
disappointing treatment of this issue
in his message to congress has materi-
Nlly lessened such expectation. One
assuring result of the popular study of
he trust system is reasonably certain,
however. The people are educating
themselves to Il clear understanding of
he issue. They will be able to pass
81 Intelligent judgment on the admin
s,."t.cn and the party which favors
he trusts at their expense. The evil
i"nce upon which that judgment will
