MoReAN's SHIPPING COMBINE

The control of transatlantic ship
ping secured by the syndicate repre-
scented by Mr.. Pierpont Morgan has
naturally evoked a good deal of discus
sion throughout both continents. 1t
is an event of prime Importance In the
future of the merchant marine of ev-
cry nation affected. Mr.. Morgan and
MS associates have, for their own pur-
poses, no doubt, made an offer to the
British government to place the Brit
ish steamships of that fleet at the con-
troll of that government for fifty years.
The debate in the commons shows that
the British admiralty will probably ac-
cept the offer, and that thereby the
large auxiliary naval force involved
will thus be preserved to the British
government.
1t is not necessary to inquire whether
this offer has been dictated by the fail
ure of the ship subsidy bill in congress.
1t will probably be found that it was
influenced more by desire to forestau
any hostile action that might be d.
rected by the British admiralty against
those British ship owners who enter
into Mr.. Morgan's combine. IT is q

mental sustainment.
1t is the refusal to accent sucb a
conclusion that lies at the basis of tho
current statement that the English
government is seriously considering a
revival of its antiquated navigation
laws. Statements of this general char
acter are always heard coming from
those who accept the paternaI theory of
government, on all occasions where tbe
natural laws of trade assert them
selves. From this same source hoe
sprung the idea that England must re-
turn to its old-time duties on corn and
to its generally restrictive legislation

If she is to maintain her position as a
leading commercial nation. 1t is from
this source, too, that we get our adyo-

The comments of the London press

betray the vulgar, sordid, mercenary

them to the Vatican. They seem to

to betray the interests of the church

American prelate" who thinks 'the
Vatican has befooled u.s." and bemoans
the "unbusinesslike methods Of Rome"
is evidently a myth, invented for the
convenient expression of the chagrin
of the critics. The alleged Americans

has shown for American courtesy" Gin

not to have read Secretary Roots
words expressing his thanks for the
courtesy shown by the Vatican to
Judge Taft"
The dispatches tell that there are
$50, 600 tenants who occupy their lands
(the friars), paying no rental there
for" The situation seems to be, then,
that the friars occupy the same posi-
ton in the Philippines that the trusts
occupy in America, and $4,000 of their
tenants have gone on a strike, but be-
cause the constitution does not follow
the flag in the Philippines, the govern
ment must side with the strikers and
refuse protection to the lawful proper
ty owners! American Citizen.

it would take the traditional "Philadel-

The vessels of Mr.. Morgan's new
combination will probably float
under whatever flag is found
most advantageous to the COM
merce in which they are re-
spectively engaged. There is no vic
tory for American commerce over Brit
ish in the combination, so far as the
general public can observe. 1t is a WHIP
ing out of the national distinctions and
the organization of great commercial
fleet on purely business lines. Proba-
bly, all that Mr.. Morgan and his assoc
ciates will ever ask of any of the gov
ernments, the steamships of whose sub
jects are included, is to be left alone.
The success Of that combination will
be the most serious blow yet aimed at
all forms of governmental bounties and
privileges.

LA FoLLETTE's FIGHT,

The present governor of the state Of
Wisconsin, r. M. La Toilette, repre-
sents the progressive public spirit of
the time. He has rendered great serv-
ice, not to his own party alone, but to
the public life of the country, by the
attitude assumed by himself and his
followers in the convention which has
just renominated him. That convention
among other commendabIe things,
adopted the following resolution:
1--WE condemn the pernicious activity
of federal officials in this state in flag
rant disregard of civil service laws in at
temptS to fOreStal and control cOnVen-
tons and caucuses of the party, and in
assisting professional lobbyists before the
legislature and elsewhere in the work Of
defeating legislation in refutation of par
ty pledges"
Here is an evil Of large proportions
| not confined in operation to the state
| of Wisconsin. 1t prevails, and has with
impunity prevailed, for six years past
in the federal service in every state
of the Union. That the majority Of a
Republican convention in any state
should give expression to so emphatic
a protest against it is the best test
that can be applied to it's dangerous
consequences, as well as to it's extent.
But this resolution does not repre-
sent all that Gov. La Toilette has done
in sustainment of advanced political
thought through the Madison conven-
ton. He has taken up the cause Of
pure primaries and has forced his par
ty to recognize the right of the voters
to control absolutely the machinery of
to nominate those candidates for Of
fee whom it believes, best entitled to
public SuStainment.
This latter really lies at the base of
the conflict which has divided the Re
publican party of Wisconsin. The old
school politicians, operating under the
shadow Of Senator Spooner's distinc-
ton in the national service, have
sought to maintain their supremacy by
the methods of the past They have
fought the battle out to the last ditch,
and they have been beaten. The result
! VI GOIlN0ul1Ou SHOWS lUdL NONs Lid
Toilette wins because he represents the
cause of the people and because he has
tried to place his party on the safe
ground of depending upon it's voters,
rather than upon its politicians for it's
success.
There is only one point at which Gov.
Toilette and the Republican convention
seems to have faltered. While declar-
ing for a just and equitable system of
taxation they they failed to voice the
sentiment of the people of that and
every other Western state in favor Of
just and equitable federal taxation,
which is rendered impossible by the
continued existence of existing tariff
schedules.
The failure of the Wisconsin conven-
ton to condemn the attitude of the rep
resentatives of it's own party on the sub
| ject of tariff and the trusts, even under
the inspiration of so brave and upright
leader as Gov. La Toilette, only fur
nishes added proof that if tie country
desires the undoing Of the existing con-
| spiracy of tariff fed trusts to control
| the consumption of the country they
must look for the accomplishment of
| that end to the Democratic party of the
nation.
