AN ANTITRUST MOVE
Judge Rays Appointment to
Federal Bench.
NEW COMMITTEE HEAD
MAKES PRESIDENT STRONGER IN
HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
Representative Jenkins, Probable New
Chairman, Has Vigorous Views for
Curbing Trusts and Combinations.

Politicians today are drawing conclusions
regarding the recent appointment Of
Representative George w. Ray, chairman
of the House committee on judiciary to a
federal judgship. These conclusions are
that the President in making this appoint
ment, has not only selected undoubtedly
the best man for the place, but has incl
dertally strengthened his congressional
backing in his antitrust crusade.
1t has been charged repeatedly by the
democrats that Congress is not with Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his fight against the
trusts, and that consequently his talks to
the people in his travels around the coun-
try are meaningless and would be void Of
practical results.
The conclusions today are that the Presi-
dent may have taken this very situation
into consideration. The elm ila4tion OF
Judge Ray from Congress and from the
craftsmanship of the judiciary committee
will. in the natural course of precedent, pro-
mote Representative Jenkins Of Wisconsin

Presidents Views 1ndorsed.

President Roosevelt, in his recent speech
es, has re-echoed the tenor of the najority
report on Representative Jenkins proposed
amendment, and it is thought not unlikely
that it will be very pleasing to him to have
as the chairman of the judiciary committee
OF the House a man who thinks exactly as
he does on this question, which there
will undoubtedly be q contest in Congress
at the coming session.
This argument is summed UP in these
few words in the report:
In our Judgment the only effective mode
Of preventing and suppressing combinations,
conspiracies and monopoies in manufacture
and production is to give the national egis-
lative body ample power to deal with them
directly and effectually. The power Con-
2ress now has is largely one of annoyance
We may strike a light blow here and an
other there, but cannot repress or prohibit
such combinations or monopolies. A power
to harass merely better not be exercised at

His Visits to Washington.

When Gov. Shepherd first returned 10
Washington ne was accorded a welcome
such as has never been given to any man
in the national capital. The freedom or
the city was presented him, and a process
sion that was imposing in character was
reviewed by him. as we'll as a reception
which was attended by all classes OF cit
liens. The enthusiasm was great and
whenever he appeared he was greeted with
cheers He was only here for brief
period. but during his stay he was made TO
feel that the people here had a great and
enduring affection for him.
On the occasion of his second visit n
1880 he held a public reception at Willard
Hall, and for several hours stood and shook
hands with the people as they passed by
Before he went back he was given an elab-
crate banquet at the Arlington, at which
speeches were made eXtoling the work
he had done IN the Identification of Wash

might soon return and again live here in

Judge Jenkins Trust Record.

This at once makes Judge Jenkins record
on the trust question of interest and i'm
portance. A glance at this record shows
that Il Is entirely to the Presidents liking.
AS far back as January 26, 1900 Judge
jenkins stirred up things on the question
of trusts by introducing in the House
joint resolution proposing an amendment to
the Constitution, whereby Congress shall
hibit or dissolve trusts. monopolies or COM
binationS, whether existing in the form of
corporation or otherwise.
This amendment provided further that
tine several sta teS may continue to eXer-
else such power in any manner not in con-
fict with the laws of the United States"
1t also contained provision that Congre ss
should have power to enforce the amended
article of the Constitution by appropriate
legislation.
This resolution was favorably reported to
the House from the judiciary May Is fol-
lowing The majority report was drawn by
Chairman Ray, and was cOncurred in by
the republican members <ef the committee.
A minority report was filed at the same
time. This report was prepared by Repre-
sentative DeArmond of Missouri and was
signed by the democratic members of the
committee. The majority report was an ex-
haustive argument in favor of granting au-
thority to Congress to legislate in control
of the trusts. 1t covered thirtyfour pages
of printed matter. The minority report
covered seven pages Of printed matter. and
voiced the objection of the democrats to the
measure, the principal of which was
that it an attempt to wrest power from
the states and confer 1t upon Congress.
The proposed amendment was also object
ed to on the ground that it was political

The Methodist women,s V!etory.

To the Editor of The Post.
Dunkirk \. Y. January 1.-THE decision
of the Methodist Episcopal church making
women eligible to seats in the general con
ference has been hailed with almost uni
versal satisfaction. The press comments
show pretty general conviction that the
step was inevitable, aud was In fact only
a simple matter of justice aud common
sense. The widespread public approFhl is
q strong testimony 10 the love 81 lalC- nlAH
Inherent In the American people
This victory will also add an Impetus TO
the growing movement that seeks to give
women equal opportunities in the state as
wass as In the church, Every argument
that can be urged against letting woman
vote applies with tenfold force against
letting her rs n delegate to the general
conference 1t Is said that she would he
exposed TO TOO much excitement. Rehg-
ious controversies are nntorlously hotler
and more bitter than political ones Is II
said that she would be brought INTO tGo

publicity involved in taking part as = deie-
gate In a great ecclesiastical assembly ~
IL urged that she would have 10 give 100
