TUESDAY EVENING. JAN. q, 1903.
IMPENDING ANTITRUST EizzLE
Springfield, (Mass.) Republican.

Springfield, (Mass.) Republican.
The Elkins scheme Of trust legisla-
ton so we'll fits in with the general
republican disposition II Washington
to do nothing more than TO appear
TO have done something, that we may
almost certainly count On its success.
Some good may, indeed. be done by
amending the interstate commerce
law so as to make the receiver of rail
road rebates and other discrimina-
lions equally guilty with h giver;
and no harm will be done b. plac-
ing upon the proposed department OF
the duty of collecting in
formation relating TO corporations do
ing an interstate business.
But the effectiveness of the latter
dip combinations must of course
amount to nothing. 1t will not meet
the wishes of the president. and it
certainly will fall far short of com
ing up TO the demands of the public.
Publicity in the fullest sense of the
word cannot be considered particular
ly effective in restraint of trust ra-
pacity. and this Is not the publicity
sought by the Elkins plan. What that
seems to provide is the collection
and publication of such information
as is already available or as may be
voluntarily contributed by the trusts.
and not an enforced revealment of
the affairs and practices of the com
binations. This would be doing little
more than keeping the recent cen
sus statistics of corporations up to
date.
Such an outcome of all the agita-
tion of the question at the present
session OF congress would be simply
l%aughable, and must bring popular rid
icule upon the party's p~retension of
having taken the subject in hand.
The president will see this as clearly
as anybody, but he may quite likely
submit to the senatorial dictatorship
in the matter. an conclude hat the
condition of avoiding an extra session
of congress has L'een met. Mr.. Roose-
welt as a fighter in the forum has yet
to prove that he is equally violent
and un~conquerable with MIR. Roose-
welt as a fighter in the field of physi-
cial battle. AS governor of New
York. and so far as president. he has
been noted for taking advanced po-
citinuc with GREAT fcrcc of uttpranpp
and appearance of unshakeable de-
termination-and then more quietly,
step by step. %retreating under the
commands of cautious party exped-
iency as viewed from the standpoint
of established interest. We are to
see whether this will prove true of
him i'm the present case.

Another Rock Island Extension.

From the New Mexican.
The Rock Island system will biuld
the extension of the former Choctaw,
Oklahoma and Gulf railroad from Am
arillo, Tex, to Tucumcari, under the
name of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Choctaw Railway Company. Incor-
poration papers were filed for this
company in the Office of Secretary
Reynolds, and under the terms, the
company is authorized to construct a
line of railroad from Tucumcari east
to the corner of Guadalupe county and
to a point on the border between New
Mexico and Texas where it will con
nect with the western terminus of the
Choctaw.
The authorized capital stock of the
company is 81, SOC, 900 and accompany
ing the papers is an affidavit of Chief
Engineer Dauchy of the Rock Island
system in which he says that he has
gone over the ground and has caused
surveys to be made of the proposed
line. He is satisfied that the capital
stock authorized is no more than will
be necessary to build the road. Forty
miles Of the line will be in New Mex
leo.

And now we are to have "the Car
nation league of America" to keep
fragrant the memory of Mr.. Mckinley.
The plan is of the simplest sort: A
beautiful. fragrant flower worn in
the lapel of the coat, or at the throat
or in the hair, in silent memory of a
public servant whose life was forfeited
because he was our servant. Is what
is contemplated. The fact hat the
carnation vas President McKinley's
favorite flower and was always found
in his bdtton-hole is the reason for
its choice as a league symbol. On
all other days of the year it will be
what it is today - the common.
peoples flower-but on September
IA of each year it becomes especially
the presidents flower,and will be wOrnl
in silent tribute to his memory. So

1t is not believed hal the antitrust
bill, introduced in congress by Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts comes up to
the requirments of the country. Those
who are familiar with its provisions
think is it a thinly disguised subter-
fuge to postpone the adoption of a
policy which. though it be heces-
sary, is in the highest degree Dis
tasteful to the political party now in
power. The leaders OF the party
which lives from the contributions
of the trusts, and which is respDn-
sible for and defends the present tar
if, know .ull we'll what the p...Lie
want. but they do not intend to grant
it. They are trying to fool the public
with so-called antitrust bills, but they

slam oeneral-New Fields Of
Effort.

Of new buildings. This sum includes
In round figures. the amount shown
on the records Of the American Young
Mems Christian Associations, as
pended and available for its work in
1902, for the payment of bonded debts,
for endowment. and for the erection
OF new buildings. lis sum includes
in instances the eliminating work of
two and three years.
The membership list, with lapsed
names eliminated, has o~vertopped
300. 900, and the number of associa-
tions exceeds 1000. There has been
steady progress In numbers, in eff
f1cency. and in service; but especially
notable and significant Is the COM
prehension study of association prob
lens and the apprehension Of the
needs of young men and the adapta-
ton of the association to meet them.
A movement for 1900, 900 men en-
gagged in manufacturing pursuits,
which will reach skilled mechanics,
lumbermen. miners, cotton mill OPP
eratives, etc., has taken shape, and
will be developed under the interna-
tional committees guidance. Street
railway associations. sustained by the
traction companies at Brooklyn and
Rochester, inaugurate that new move
ment. The railroad association men,
bership exceeds $4,000. student depart
ment, 10000; boys department, 3d.
600. and the amry and navy, colored
and Indian associations show increase.
Nearly 10000 young men are in the
evening schools. Working boys be-
tween twelve and eighteen are drawn
inlarge numbers into the evening class
es and given education. as well as
evening recreation. The 200 summer
camps enlisted fully 5000 boys.
The first permanent building for
the naval association. costing $780,
600. has been opened, and is already
crowded to it's utmost limits. This
has been followed by associations at
Norfolk and Newport. With the sanc-
ton of congress two new buildings
are being erected for soldiers at army
posts. Quarters are set apart at sew
%enty-one army posts for soldiers as
sociations, with the approval of COM
manding officers, and work is done
IN many battle ships.
The way has been found to organ
izo and holm ~norvuD = II iCcIatod
country places by county associations.
The missionary spirit haracterizes the
movement. Gifts for foreign work
have increased from SIS, 900 to $780,
900. and twelve OF the best secretaries
have been sent out to foreign lands
during the year, and association work
has been extended to Mexico. Growth
has been most notable in the associa-
and among railroad men.
There are now $50 buildings owned,
costing over $24,6 600. 900; 100 paid
officers on the list; the international
committee has secured it's first mil
lion dollars of endowment, and the
state committees have made good
progress in the same direction. There
has never been SO deep an interest
and so large an attendance in Bible
classes and religious services as in
the past year; $4,000 men a Sunday
for nine months are in evangelistic
meetings, and AZ, 900 men attend the
Bible classes.
The number Of associations through
out the world is 1907, with 620,7 21
members, owning and occspying 1877
buildings, valued at over $32, 900, 900.
