RoosEvELT's ANTITRUST BILL.

President Roosevelt has signifed his de-
termination 10 enter the legislative field
as far as the chief executive OF the gov
eminent can do so. The cause I'm which
his legislative ambition has enlisted him
is so righteous that this proposed enter
prise on his part is heartily approved by
the public. regardless of party.
The president holds that it is not only
the plain duty Of congress to regulate and
restrict the trusts, but that ii is also quite
practicable 10 do so.
In his next annual message he will urge
antitrust legislation very strenuously
and a bill IS now being prepared under
his direction which will enibody his ideas
on the subject.
Mr.. Littlefield. Of Maine successor OF
Tom Reed in congress. who has been
chosen as the chief adviser OF the presi-
dent in this most laudable effort, is one Of
the ablest and best equipped Republican
members of the house.
He Is said to cherish an ambition to lead
in the direction OF the repression and reg
ulation OF the trusts, and viii have a
great opportunity as the introducer and
special champion OF lie Roosevelt bill.
Mr.. Littlefeld has given out to some

THE NEW FERTILIZER LAW.

The act for the protection Of the puo-
lie against fraudulent fertilizers which the
legislature passed at its last session will
go into effect August LIST.
This measure was earnestly supported
by the rural members Of the legislature,
and there seems to have been quite a
general demand for it among the farmers.
There has been frequent complaint
made in this state and others that some
of the fertilizers that have had quite
general sale were of little benefit 10 the
purchasers.
The design of the new law is to prevent
the sale Of fertilizers practically worth
less and Of those that are represented as
better than they are. The law already
has strict provisions for the protection
of farmers from imposition in this mat
ter but 1t was insisted that others should
be established.
The new law goes very much further
than the one 1T repeats.
1t attaches heavy penalty for even
placing upon the market a fertilizer
which does not come up to/the analysis
that goes with it. If a crop on which COM
mercial fertilizer has been used should fail
the fertilizer need not be paid for, If it
can be shown that 1t did not contain the
ingredients and proportions that were
claimed for 1t.
But the prices Of fertilizers vary
very much. and the purchaser cannot ex-
pect to get a high-grade fertilizer at the
price of cheap article.
1t is probable that many of the COM
plants that have been brought against
fertilizer companies have been made in
cases where the fault lay in lax cultiva-
ton rather than in the poor quality Of the
fertilizer.
1t is quite as probable that in spite
of safeguards quantities of fertilizer have
been sold that were almost worthless.
But whether the new law will prove as
just and work as well as it's advocates
have predicted is a matter of doubt.
Now that it is on the statute books, it
should be given fair and thorough trial.
and we hope that IL will be found to be
an equitable and useful enactment.

VERY LIGHT PENALTIES.

Some of the officers Of the United States
army who have been arraigned for cruelty
in the Philippines have been severely con-
demned by the courts which tried them,
by superior military authority and Presi-
dent Roosevelt. They have been scored
severely, and I'm most instances with per-
feet justice. by a large part of the press
OF the country, and they have been de-
nounced in both houses Of congress.
But a review OF the evidence presented
in these cases viii. we think. convince
any impartial mind that, almost without
exception. these officers, when punished
at all, have escaped with much lighter
penalties than they could reasonably
have expected.
The acquittal Of Major Waller and Lieu
tenant Day for the slaughter and torture
Of natives in Samar was based on the
circumstance that Walters mind
was supposed to be upset tenn
porarily. and Day obeyed the
command OF his superior officer. General
Chaffee won the approval of the country
by his refusal to approve these findings,
and HIS very severe condemnation Of Day.
Colonel Jacob H. Smith,. whose order
to burn and kill until Samar was a
waste aroused the disgust and indignation
Of the country. has received no other pun
Ishment than a retirement on the regular
army list about two years earlier than
It would have come to him in regular
order. and a lecture from the president.
The courtmartial that tried him refused
to find him guilty of any wrong.
Major Edwin P. Glenn. Of the Fifth in
fantry. has just been convicted of admin
istering the cruel water cure" to Fill
pinos. He has been sentenced to the awful
punishment Of suspension from duty for
a whole month and the enormous fine of
$50. about one-fifth of a months pay.
The disposition OF this and several other
cases Of like character will strike the
country as travesties on justice and ut
terly unworthy of our government.

close friends who have allowed the public
to share the confidence, his. general
plan of campaign against the trusts which
he is to mainly manage I'm congress.
According TO Mr.. Littleheld. the presi-
Dental antitrust bill will cover four prin-
cipal points. namely: Federal control of
all corporations engaged in interstate
commerce.; power for the government at
all times to obtain information as to the
doings of such corporations; taxation Of
corporations having unpaid capital stock;
regulation by the government OF increase
of capital stock.
All this has a pleasant sound. but it re-
mains to be ascertained how much of this
attack upon the trusts, and the advertise
ment thereof, is designed for political ef-
feet and how much of It represents fixed
policy and purpose on the part of the pres
ident and that element of the Republican
party which will unfalteringly follow his
lead.
The Roosevelt-Littlefeld plan, as out
lined by those who appear to be in the
confidence of its minority stakeholder
would impress the country much more
favorabIy IL it contained one provision
that is worm al INC AONi - ~
The New York Times points out this fact
clearly when ii says:
Meanwhile II cannot too often be re-
peated that the worst evils Of the combi-
nations OF capital called trusts can only
be reached by depriving them of the I'M
Just favors they enjoy through the tariff
and through secret determinations for
their benefit by the transportation corpo-
rations. Any measure that does not aim
at these results will be an empty one, and
probably hypocritical."

THE.ExPANsIoN CRAZE.

Within a very brief period we have an
nexed Hawaii by taking the short cut Of
a Joint resolution of congress. after it was
found that the treaty route was impossi-
BILE: we have appropriated Porto Rico as a
war indemnity; we have bought the Phil
ippines. a very small part of which we
have vet actually possessed, and we have
bargained for the Danish West Indies. 1t
would seem that these acquisitions should
satisfy our territorial greed for while,
but. though our deal with Denmark mas
not vet been consummated, the state de-
partment has begun negotiations with
that government for Greenland.
1t is said that expansionist statesmen
have had this enterprise in view for ten
years past, but it never took on the color
of probability until very short time ago.
1t is stated on what appears to be good
authority that st. Peary, the famous arc
tic explorer, has been employed to gather
data and give an estimate of the value
and possibilities of this extensive land,
which the daring Norsemen knew centu-
ries before Christopher Columbus was
born. The main reason ascribed for the
desire to acquire Greenland is the same
as that which caused the United States
to purchase Alaska-to hem In Canada
and give us a still securer hold on this
continent.
The present and probable commercial
value of Greenland is problematical.
The country undoubtedly contains very
valuable mineral deposits and its fisheries
are among the best in the world.
In its southern part are ceyolite mines.
the entire output of which comes to the
United States.
Near Disco Island are large deposits of
coal, which American explorers and fish,
ermen use. There are vast whale and hall
ibut fisheries conducted entirely by Mas
sachusetts fishermen. Iron and copper
abound, and It is believed other mineral
wealth Of Greenland is large.
Denmark owns the country south Of
Melville bay and has done something in
the way of colonizing it. But her govern
ment is maintained there at a heavy an
nual loss that she is hardly able to stand,
and the report that she is endeavoring to
unload this Improbable territory on us is
probably true. Most Of the paying enter
prises in Greenland are already in the
hands of citizens of this country, whose
rights are perfectly protected by Den
mark They are said to be Indifferent
about the alleged purchase scheme, but
the element I'm this country that has gone
daft on the subject of expansion is en-
thusiastic over It and may have its way.
