The Richmond Times insists that the
personality OF Judge campbs.. by

bells private relations to society as dis
tinguished from his public relations as
an office-hoidcr, should be eliminated
from discussion of the Crawford Camp
bell affair. Mr.. Crawford stands In a
double relation to society also. but The
Times persistently brings in his person
.ality. to excite public sympathy in the
behalf and contumeiy and reproach
against Judge Campbell. 1t seems to us
that in this case honors. il we may so
use the term, are pretty nearly even. Is
1t not just as bad for an old minister TO
print ans rubbish offensive and insulting
Woros, well calculated toscarse a breach
of the peace. as 1t Is for the judge OF d

lions OF higher Office when he stopped

A NEW ANTl>TRusT THEORY.

Mr.. Russell Sages dissertations on
trusts is one Of the most remarkable
pronouncements on that much dscussed
out by saying that the trusts are a
menace to true government and oppres-
sors of the people. He further intimates
that the time will come when the Ameri-
can people will rise up and destroy the
trusts, even though in SO doing they
shall detrpy themselves.
If Mr.. Sage had stopped there he might
have saved himself from ridicule, but
he does not stop there. He says that
when several industries are starting out
in business it is well for individuals to
combine for mutual protection until the
when the business is so established the
combination should be disrupted and
conducted on individual lines.
In one breath he says that these COM.
binations are a menace to government
and the opprcssors of the poor, and in
fectly proper for them to be formed The
only question with Mr.. Sage is how long
they shall endure The evil, according
10 this sage philosopher, mever mind the
pun) is not in the formation of trusts
and combines. but in their continued ex-
istence. 1t is all right for them to be-
gin life and to flourish for a time, but
after they have begun to flourish they
must be disrupted. either through their
own act or through the act OF govern
ment. Just when that crisis shall be
reached Mr.. Sage does not say. It may
be when the combine is a year old, it may
be when it is ten years old 1t comes
with prosperity. As soon as the COM
bine establishes itself. it should dissolve
or be dissolved. The government and
the people should permit an evil in
embryo to be born and TO flourish for
a season-and then throttle it. Mr.. Sage's
antitrust theory at least has the virtue
or originality and novelty.

a STARTLING DISCLOSURE,

We think It important to keep well be-
fore the eyes OF the people OF Richmond
The .ll-important fact that in considering
the question of gambling houses. which,
IL eppears from the evidence, have beca
opcs ated here on an extensive scale. we
are not considering questions of morals
from the gambling poin: OF view, but a
question OF law and order.
These establishments have been operated
in violation Of the written law CT the
State by men who knew that they were
violating the law. and they have been
p.tronized by men who knew that these
were Illegal establishments. Worse than
NIL. It appears from the evidence so far
collected that they were patronized by
members of the General Assembly and
members OF the Constitutional Convention.
Who were sent to the State Capitol to
make, laws for this Commonwealth.
This is. indeed, a shocking disclosure.
IT IS not. we repeat, question Of the
immortality Of gambling, per sc. That is
a question for each and every man to
settle with his own conscience. But when
the law-nakers of this State patronize an
establishment which Is operated in de-
fisrce Of law they become particeps Grim
,nis, and they are responsible to the peo-
pie for their act.
We do not know who these men are
and we do not know of our own knowl-
edge that members of the Legislature
and of the Constitutional Convention are
guilty. But from current report there is
abundant evidence to show that some of
orr lawmakers have been guilty of this
oftcrse, and If SO they should be publicly
exposed. Let the Investigation go on. Let
US find out the facts, no matter who is
involved, and If it be discovered that our
lawmakers have been colluding with
professional gamblers in violating the law,
lot their names be given 10 the public
