Objects to Judge Gray.

Judge George Gray. of Delaware, is
mentioned as an available democratic
candidate for the presidency. Judge
Gray served with ability in the ma
tional senate and rendered the coun-
try valuable service as u member of
the anthracite coal commission. His
work in settling the great coal strike
has made him popular with the friends
of organized labor.
But the Rockford Star holds Judge
Gray has one weakness that shuts him
out of the possibilities. He is respon-
sible for the annexation of the Phil
ippines. As a senator he was appoint
Ell on the Paris peace commission.
He wrote to the secretary of state
that he could not agree to accept the
islands as it would reverse the ac-
cepted continental policy of the cOun-
try" He declared against 'entang-
ling alliances which Washington and
all American statesmen have protest
ed against" We have mo place for
colonial administration or subject
people in our American SYSTEM" he
insisted. He said further:
But even cOnceding all benefits
claimed for an annexation. we there
by abandon the infinitely greater ben
eft to accrue from acting the part of
a great, powerful and christian ma
ton; we exchange the moral grand
eur and strength to be gained by
keeping our word to nations of the
world. for doubtful material advan-
tages and shameful stepping down
from high moral position boastfully
assumed. We should set example in
these respects, not follow in the self
ish and vulgar greed for territory
which Europe has inherited from
medieval times. Our declaration of
war upon Spain was accompanied by
n solemn and deliberate definition of
our purpose. Now that we have
achieved all and more than our OBJ
ject, let us simply keep our word.
This and more, of which | earnestly
ask reperusal, binds my conscience
and governs my actions"
Now. says the Star. Judge Gray had
convictions, but he lacked the cOur-
age to put them in force. At a criti-
cal moment he forgot the Conscience
that binds my action and reversed
himself. He voted to make the Phil
ippines an American colony and
forced subject people" to accept a
system of government they did not
want

so recognized in the market quota

its face value. 1t is paying over $25,-

levied on the American people by the

l.920,7S6 tons of steel rails last year.
The tariff enabled it to decree that
every ton of those rails should be sold
at $2S, when foreign rails were worth
less than $3.50 and we were under
selling the foreigners in their own
markets. The company made S,197,-

products for sale in 1902, on every

A Protected Infants Account Book

The latest quarterly report of the
United States Steel corporation shows
that the ice over which the great trust
is skating is still intact, although a
little thinner than it was. The net
earnings are $1,162, $50 less than for
the corresponding quarter of last
year, but they still amount to 36,499,-
52s, leaving a surplus of $14,233, 934
after paying all fixed charges and
dividends.
This looks large, and it is large
when compared with the capital actu-
ally invested in the plants of the com
pany, but not when compared with
the volume of paper securities on
which interest and dividends must be
paid. At the same rate a company
capitalized at $1,50O,0OO would have a
quarterly surplus of less than SIS, 900,
which would hardly be considered a
very liberal provision for improve
ments and reserve against hard times.
There can be little question that the
steel corporation would have been in
much healthier condition if it had
paid dividends on its common stock
at the rate of only 2 per cent from
the beginning and used the $4,000, 900
a year thus saved in strengthening it's
reserve. At present prices 2 per
cent dividend on steel common would
be equivalent TO s 2-s per cent on the
Investment. which ought to satisfy
