Invasion Of the Trusts.


Despite the able opinion of Senator
Turner that it was an imperative duty
for the States affected 10y railroad COM
bination to stand by the effort being
made 10y Gov. Van SAINT to restrict the
movement 10y State legislation, the
late executive Of this State gave out,
under date of Dec. 2ist, that it was
response to call for similar con-
vention by Gov. Savers, of Texas, year
or more ago, that the President and
Congress are the only powers having
full authority to act in the premises,
and that Governors and State Legisla-
lures have no such power.
This shows how men in high posi-
ton may disagree. If, as the Cover
nor declared, he had thoroughly con-
sidered the matter when Texas led in
the movement, what was the use of
delay in consulting either Senator
Turner or the State Attorney General,
and following the advice Of the latter
whose political training and affilia-
tions have always been with the op-
posing party, that invariably favors
trusts and upholds corporations as
against the people?
Nobody will claim that the late ex-
ecutive represented the will of his
party in this matter. The remarkable
zeal manifested by Attorney General
Stratton, in foisting himself into the
conference held by the Governors, at
Helena, Mont, last Tuesday, shows
that he is not wanting in party zeal,
and his mission will be to aid the
Northern Securities Co. to the extent
Of his ability in subverting such re-
strictions as State Legislatures have
been empowered by their respective
constitutions to impose.
The States authority in the prem.
ises may or may not be based upon as
sured grounds, but the trainers of the
constitution placed within it a man.

with this provision are impotent,
there is tribunal for declaring them

be claimed that it is the province OF

mental law OF the Stale.
But, then, it has been noted that
very little attention is ever paid by
Republican ofiice.holders to the re-
strictions or limitations of law in
their interpretations OF its bearing
upon duty to party. With them,
Might is Right, and as money makes
Might, their vision is quite plain
whenever those owning the wealth of
the country issue their imperative
commands.

opportunity for arraying our State on
the side of right and justice, and for
use OF lawful methods for their ad.
vancement, has passed by.

The Acting Governors Term.

1t is now said that the lawyers and
prominent politicians have discovered
another problem that is puzzling
them for solution, and that is
whether Gov. McBride's term is until
State election or for the unexpired
term of the late Governor. 1t seems
to the writer that about the only use
that can be found for q Lieutenant
Governor, as for Vice President of
the United States, is to serve ont the
term OF the chief executive if he is re-
moved during his term by death, or
incapacitated from any cause. The
State constitution provides that,
" In case of the removal, resignation,
death or disability of the Governor, the
duties of the office shall devolve upon
the Lieutenant Governor, and in case of
a vacancy in both the offices of Cover.
nor and Lieutenant Governor, the duties
OF Governor shall devolve upon the Sec
rotary OF State, who shall act as Cover
nor until the disability be removed or q
Governor be elected"
1t would seem quite evident from
this provision, that it was the intent
that the Lieutenant Governors tenure
as acting Governor should be coinci-
dent with the term Of the Governor.

Fly-by-Nfght Entertainments.

The Bee-Nugget, Of Chehalis, has
some very sensible comments upon
the absurdity Of local societies gusran-
teeing travelling concert companies
stipulated sum for appearing in that
city in the vain hope of making fair
percentage for the risk and labor in
vOlved. 1t seems that the High
School football team had paid for
just such experience afforded by the
Schuman company, and this afforded
opportunity for the homily on the ap-
parent ease with which such enter
prises may be worked" at one-night
stands.
In nine cases out of ten, these same
attractions have been refused by the
opera-ho"se management, for the rea-
son that their " billing" is always very
small compared with dramatic attrac-
tions. Their success, however, in ar
ranging for a "benefit" to some
church or society, at a small expense
to themselves, opens up field of
special attractiveness, and they at
once set about laying the burrows.
The football team at Chehalis, after a
campaign of fruitless endeavor, had to
60 down into their pockets to pay
deficiency, just as the X. of p. did
here, a few nights ago, to make up the
demands of the Schubert company.

The writer cannot surely be accused
OF any selfish motive when he endorses
the advice Of the Bee Nugget to allow
all such organizations to stand on
their own bottoms; to come or go by,
as they please, on the showing Of
merit they may be able to make by
legitimate methods.
