THE PRESIDENT ON LYNcHING.

thought of every law-abiding Ameri-
can citizen. No candid man can de-
ny the truth and force of the presi-
dents argument against resorting %
lynch law. While he has no sympa-
thy for the perpetrator OF a diabol-
ical crime, he can say nothing in ex.
~tenuation of the crime of those who
take the law in their own hands and
resort to the most fiendish mode OF
punishment. 1t has not one redeem,
ing feature. A life can be taken but
once. and putting a criminal out OF
the way in the most humane manner
possible Is befitting a civilized peo
pie. Exhibitions of savage brutality
will not prevent crime. Lynch Law
affords no trial or investigation Of
the accused and an innocent man is
likely to suffer a horrible death at Tho
hands of an enraged and f~renziet
mob. President Roosevelt urges on,
thing which is very essential ant
which. We believe. has had much t.

THE TWO MERGER DECISIONS.

The dispatches which brought the
news of Judge Lochren's decision in
the Northern Securities merger case
called attention to the fact that the
suit against the company was pros
rcuted under the state laws of Min
nesota, whereas the suit that was de-
cided last April was instituted by the
federal government under the Sher-
man antitrust law. One concerned
the consolidation Of parallel and COM
peting railway lines, witch is forbid
den by a Minnesota statute, and also
the construction of the state law
against trusts, while the other con-
cerned a combination in restraint of
trade and commerce among the sew
eral states, which is forbidden by the
Sherman act. Judge Lochren holds
that the Northern Securities company
has not violated the state laws; the
four judges sitting in the United

During the first six months of this
year, Jsu of the emigrants who land
cd in New YORK became public
charges. Commissioner ~Sargent's an
alysis OF immigration statistics for the
fiscal year just ended shows that COM
paratiyely few OF our immigrants go
west. He says that thirty per cent.
of the total number, or over 25o.00O.
remained in New York state and that
only a few over 100000 wen west.
The commissioner says, immigration
under present conditions-hundreds
al thousands of ignorant aliens com
ing to our country every year-pre-
SCENTS a serious problem" Evidently
there is great need of congress over
hauling the immigration laws at the
coming session. Many OF these un.
desirable immigrants find their way
here through the activity of agents of
the transportation companies. who
find a way TO eyade the laws.

1T is apparent that there has been

States Court of Appeals at 81. Paul
held that 1t did violate the Federal
law.
Inc different laws, however 40 not
wholly explain the differences IN the
opinions as they relate 10 the gen.
eral subject of trusts. Judge Lochren
agrees with the attorneys of the com
pany that its transactions should be
treated like any ordinary investment
in railroad stocks. He says that 1t
has done no act and made no contract
In restraint of trade. and adds:
Il am compelled 10 reject the doc
trine that any person can be held to
have committed or to be purposing
and about to commit a highly penal Of
Tense merely because it can be shown
that his pecuniary interests will be
thereby advanced, and that he has the
power either directly by himself or
indirectly through persuasion or co
ercion of his agents to compass the
commission of the o%ffense."
Judge Thayer. speaking for himself
and his three associates, said of the
merger that
ut destroyed every motive for COM
vatitinn L..u,.n tu,, rnoJc anVo cad
in Interstate traffic which were natural
competitors for business. by pooling
the earnings of the two roads for the
common benefit of the stockholders
of both companies; and, according TO
the familiar rule that everyone is pre-
sumed to intend what is the neces-
sary consequence of his own acts
when done willfully and deliberately,
we must conclude that those who ON
ceived and executed to plan the afore-
said intended. among other things,
to accomplish those objects"
In the latter view 1t is sufficient
that the combination Is one whereby
the power has been acquired to sup
press competition, and. the existence
Of such a combination having been
proved. this was given as the ground
for a decision that the company was
illegal and for the several injunctions
that were issued against II. A law
established on these lines would pre-
vent the formation of mergers. while
if Judge Lochren's opinion should pre-
vail prevention would be impossible.
Judge Lochren is a federal circuit
Judge. and the case which he decided
would go in the ordinary course to the
Court of Appeals, with which he dis
agrees. But there will be no final
decision until all the questions involy-
ed are reviewed by the United States
Supreme Court. whose judgment will
be awaited with intense interest
