Spreading Labor Troubles.

Springfield Republican.
1t will be observed that strikes are not
confined to America this spring. Rome is
in the agonies of a labor trouble, affecting
particularly street transportation, while
Holland seems entangled in a mesh of
strikes that hit various industries besides
that of railroading. A decade ago the an
nual May-day was anticipated with fore
boding by employers Of labor throughout
Europe, since on that day strikes we're very
liable to break out. But there has been no
waiting for May 1 in Europe this year.
The world is having an carly spring.

TEE PRESIDENTS STARE.

In the comments on TIE decision In the
Northern Securities company case little
has been said in regard to the share
OF credit due President Roosevelt In
having the proceedings against the mer-
ger organization instituted. The De
troit Free Press is one of the very few
PAL that have recognized the
fact that the credit for this antitrust
victory belongs largely to the president.
1t was Theodore Roosevelt, remarks
that paper, "who braved the wrath Of
Wall street by ordering Attorney Gen
eral Knox to institute proceedings
against the Northern Securities com-
pany. 1t was the president who in
duced congress to pass the special act
under which the case was advanced and
the four circuit court judges sat as a
court of appeals"
There were doubters of the sincerity
of Mr.. ROosevelt's declared determine
ton to enforce the antitrust law. 1t
is safe to say that no one now doubts
IL. The president has proceeded care
fully yet earnestly in the carrying out
of his purpose. He has not urged rad
ical legislation. He has counseled con-
servatism and deprecated all PROPOSE.
lions of a revolutionary nature. He has
had in mind the correction of evils
without seriously disturbing the bust
ness Of the country and impairing pros
perity. Having an attorney general in
hearty accord with him, he has relied
upon the judgment and ability of that
official, always with the understanding
that whatever authority the laws con-
ferred upon the executive branch of
the government should be fully and
faithfully exercised.
The people will not lose sight of these
facts. They will give full recognition
to the credit which belongs to Theodore
Roosevelt for what has been accom-
plished and they will await such further
action as the administration shall deem
it advisable to take in the enforcement
idence that there will be no faltering
in the work and no dereliction of duty.
There is more to be done. There are
other combinations that are undoubt-
edly amenable 60 the law. The de-
cision in the Securities case is far
reaching and may be made applicable
to almost all combinations engaged in
interstate commerce. 1t is suggested
that 1t seems to hit the Steel trust
squarely in the point of it's vitality.
That it is a complete derunciation of
the community of interest principle
when adopted by corporations is OBJ
vious.
President Roosevelt has repeatedly
said that he is not hostile to corpora
tons that do not violate the law. His
policy is not one of destruction, but OF
regulation. In his speech at Milwaukee,
after citing what steps had been taken,
legislative and administrative, toward
solving the trust problem, the presi.
dent said: "In the same spirit the law
will continue to be enforced. Not only
Is the legislation recently enacted
effective, but in my judgment it was
impracticable to attempt more. The
people may wisely and with confidence
await the results which are REASONABLY
to be expected from the impartial en-
forcement Of the laws which have re
Gently been placed upon the statute
books"

This habit Of committing suicide on
trains is becoming altogether too preva-
lent for the convenience and comfort of
the regular passengers. People contem-
plating shutting off ought to have more
consideration for their fellow travellers.
Unless a check comes soon, 1t may be
necessary for the railroads to add a
stipulation to each irst-class ticket OBJ
ligating the passenger not to do bodily
injury to himself until he gets of the

friend, J. Pierpont Morgan, thinks the pros
poets of prosperity" are remarkably good,
and also that all the new industrial and
railroad securities are splendid invest

become discouraged and advise the public
not to buy, but it would seem that the

Old soldiers nj the Front.

The old soldier is still at the front in
politics and the old union soldier has no
monopoly Of this distinction either. Though
the civil war ended thirty-eight years ago,
29 per cent of the senate and 10 per cent
of the house fought on one side or the
other in that conflict. 1t is an interesting
fact and one showing clearly that the war
is over, that thirty of the seventy veterans
in the house were in the confederate army.
