BETTER NOT EXPERIMENT.
From the Elmhurst Signal.

From the ElmhurSt signal.
When the nomination Of William Con-
nell to congress was first made, he came
before the convention and made brief
statement of his position, outlining his
hopes and aims for the Republican party.
In concluding he promised to be the SER
want of the people, in all things concern
ing their growth and material prosperity.
He pledged his efforts for the people. and
was ready to serve them with faithfulness
and in all fairness.
How we'll Mr.. Connell has kept his
promise all know. In the five years Of his
service there never has been a time when
he did not have uppermost in his mind
the duty of doing his best for this con-
gress district Unlike new men who go
to congress, Mr.. Connell was at once
recognized as a man to be given atten-
tiOn and to be deferred to when he had
a request to make for the advancement
of the interests of the people of his dis
trict. Hence it is that his work for this
district has been marked by steady
growth and wide sweep. No action
touching the interests of our people has
been made in this five years that has not
had his individual force and careful
watchfuness behind it.
His is good record. Well has this man
kept his pledge and well has he earned
the right to be called Servant of the
people,"
And now the time has come for the
people to say at the primaries whether
this record of usefulness is to be con-
tinued Surely there is no uncertainty
about the quality of representation which
William Connell if returned to congress
will give at Washington. AS in the past,
it will be creditabe and efficient. Mr..
Connell has served the district we'll
enough to earn its confidence and reten-
ton. We believe THAT the temper of the
people of Lackawanna county is that they
had better not experiment."

tlon or unIfication of management and
control of industry for economic pur-
poses. 1t is not without grave dan
gels. One of these is that the central-
ICED power which 1t involves may not
be exercised wisely or equitably, but
may become caprlcious, arbitrary and
Unjust. The problem Is to safeguard It
In the Interest of the people. 1t Is not
an easy problem. It's solution cannot
be accomplished hurriedly or in a spirit
of class prejudice or passion. 1t cam
not be worked out by brute force or by
a matching Of excess against excess
Justice must be approached deliberate
~, carefully and firmly. The best
judgment of conservative but honest
and practical students of affairs will
be needed to produce in legislation the
safeguarding of what is useful and
publicly advantageous in trusts and
the outlawing of what Is unwise, unfair
and vicious.
In tho light of experience, If this is to
be done 1t must be done by the con-
structive craftsmanship of the Repub-
lican party.

HE PURPOSE of nomina-
ton should be an election.
l. To take unnecessary chances
in the nomination OF a cam
didate for an office which relates to
national issues and duties would at this
time be especially unwise.
1t has been shown very clearly that
William Council as vote winner in
campaigns for congress is successful.
He has been elected three successive
times. Before he entered the congress
sional field the custom had been for a
Republican to be elected in presidential
years and for the Democrats to win in
the alternate campaigns The nomi-
nation of Mr.. Connell changed this GUS
tom. 1t established Lackawanna county
as safely Republican county. There
is no reason to believe that Mr. Con-
nell's nomination tomorrow would not
he followed by his election In Novem-
Der. He would lead his ticket and help
all the other candidates OH the ticket.

aeeds loyal and intelligent support in

has given it, He never missed duty.
His reputation for loyalty and efficiency
is established. The leaders know him
and trust him. They want him returned.
The president expects him to be re-
turned. The people of this district, we
believe, share in these expectations.
Vote tomorrow to insure contnu-
alton of efficient representation. Nolni-
nate for an election.

INAPPROPRIATE.

From Towanda comes the story of a
very fervid meeting in a upstate Metho-
dist church. Worship there was primi-
tive and simple; the emotions were given
uprestrained expression. An old back
slider had been moving uneasily under
the exhortatlon of the various lusty-
lunged speakers. groaned once or twice
as though in soul agony, and finally arose
and addressed the assemblage thus:
Brothers! Sisters! Do something for me!
l feel that l am going straight to hell!'
"Glory! Glory!" came from all over the
church. Help me, brothers and sisters"
went on the repentant. one. II know I
am on the road to damnation!" The
congregation seemed to feel that song
was the one thing needful, and spiritedly

The Regulation of Trusts.

~ NE SIGNIFICANT note in the
presidents Fourth of July
~ speech at Pittsburg was his
statement of belief that new
legislation is needed to secure a Just
regulation of Incorporated enterprises.
The president spoke tentatively as to
.ctais. Indeed, he gave no details: but
from others sources it is learned tha t
10 Congressman Littlefield, of Maine, in
conjunction with the federal depart
raent of justice, has been assigned the
task Of drafting such additional bills
as may, upon careful consideration ap-
pear desirable in order that the power
. inherent in the growth and concentra-
tion of great individual and corporate
fortunes may be kept within bounds
and made subservieht to wise public
ends.
From the tenor of the presidents
speech, as well as from his antecedents
and character, it may safely be in
ferred that no mere jugt'llng with the
subject for demagogc effect is in con-
temptation. Theodore Roosevelt has
demGsCgue. The fundamental quality
In his make up is honesty-honesty of
thought, honesty of speech, honesty of
action. He believes in simple honesty
between man and man, He disbelieves
'n trickery and fraud. His idea of
legislation is that 1t should say what it
means and be enforced on that basis.
He recognizes as both necessary and
useful the large movements of feder-
ated capital and enterprise which char
acterize the economic life of the twen-
tieth century; hut he can see no reason
in logic, law or expediency why the
elemental requirements OF good be-
havior should not be exacted of them
With the same impartlality that con-
stilutes the ideal Of Justice between in
diIduals.
The only legislation now upon the
federal statute books for the regulation
OF trusts. the Sherman antitrust law,
was enacted by Republican congress,
but 1t was beginning and not con-
clusion. Since it was enacted, great de-
velcpments have taken place in our
business life. Doubt has been cast
uron the unqualified wisdom and ad-
vantage OF unrestricted competition as
safe controller OF business activity.
Instead, there has arisen the concep-

\N/ cratic n ws spape er s
throughout the country
are gradually leading up
to using the failure Of the senate to
enact Cuban reciprocity as an argu-
ment for the election of Democratic
congress. The fact illustrates the pow
erty of the Democracy in campaign ma
terial.
Republicans cannot defend those SEN
ators who bolted their party and
Knocked out, temporarily, an admins
tration measure. But how iH the name
of common sense would it mend matters
to elect Democratic congress? The
Democrats gave no help to the Roose-
welt administration when it was trying
to secure from the senate Il recognition
of the nations moral duty to Cuba.
The Democrats talked big but not one
of them would vote with the adminis-
tration senators to pass the Cuban bill
over the heads of the 10 Republican
kickers Had the Democratic member
ship of the senate been broad enough
to put country above party, it could
easily have made Cuban reciprocity a
fact and spared the inhabitants of the
queen of the Antilles the dire conse-
quences which the Democratic press is
now magnifying' with view to injur-
ing the Republican party.
The plain fact is that the Democratic
party as now led in congress is not
worthy of the public's trust. 1t has no
policies except making faces at the ad-
ministraton, it's appointees, its policies
and its achievements. A party of op-
position is necessary to successful gov
ernment, but it should have some plans
and guiding principles. At present the
Democracy in congress has neither. Its
only purpose in life is to harry the heels
of those in power, regardless Of fair
ness. justice or decency. So long as
this shall be its idea of the functions
of minority party it will not gain the
confidence of majority of the voters.

"\HE CHARGE of a discharged
employe of Sir Thomas Lip
Il. ton, that that genial sports
man raced for the America's S
cup solely to advertise his teas, has
been widely eXploited; but for the life Of
us, we cannot see that it amounts to
anything. OF course Sir Thomas had
an eye to business. If he hadn't he
never would have worked up from pow
erty and obscurity to the ranR and
wealth which he now possesses. So
long as he remains in business he would
be foolish not to utilize every honor
able eXpedient at his command to Wild

crease the volume of their sales.

nified to advertise does not go in this
country, we are happy to say. The
Americans admire shrewd advertising

acter and ability. Advertising on this
side of the water is growing every year.
both in volume and in ingenuity and ef-
fectveness. The best intellects are be-
ing drafted into the advertising busl-
ness-a business which has almost be-
come a learned profession. And if Sir
Thomas wants to combine little ad-
vertising with his sport, what are the
odds?
The only just criticism that could be
brought against him would be in the
event that he should neglect to adver-
tise, That would clearly be censurable
in the highest degree.
