eating corporate interests. Every city of
large size should have a corps OF watchers
charged with the duty of observing the de-
gree with which the laws, written and un-
written, are respected by the corporations,
partly for punitive purposes when fragrant
violations occur and partly for the sake
Of recommending possible reforms In the
interest OF the public health and safety.
AS the case now stands too much is left to
the Intervention ana initiative Of the citi-
zen, who. upon complaining Of bad condi-
tons, Ands the machinery OF correction and
reform too heavy for his individual action
to set 1t In motion. Nor can the public de-
pend upon the corporations own inspection
service. however keen 1t may be In the In
terest Of the company. That interest and
that Of the public do not always coincide,

sion. as confessed at Newark and az fla

cities. the people are left to the mercy Of

The Antitrust Legislation.

The republican senators came to the
scratch yesterday and refused to consider
the Lttleield antitrust bill. That completed
the antitrust record for this Congress. A
measure bearing the name Of a distinguished
republican leader and Endorsed by a repub-
lican House Of Representatives found advo-
Gates only in the democrats.
The value of what has been done on this
trust question by this Congress must in
some measure appear within the next
twelve months. Today 1t is a matter merely
Of partisan controversy. The republicans
assert that they have strengthened the
hands Of the government materially. The
democrats 1out the suggestion, and declare
that only sham battle has been fought.
1t Is a fact however. that the trusts have
been very active here during the whole ses-
sion. and exerted themselves to the utmost
against every step that has been taken. II
there had been nothing Of menace to them
in the measures proposed we should not
have witnessed this strenuousness on their
part ..
But whether much or little advance in
''trust-busting' has been made by the legis-
latlon Of this session, we are certain to wit
ness the presentation Of this question to the
next Congress. In the first place, 1t is
tempting as a campaign topic. and the
presidential campaign will in a way be in
augurated in December. In the second
place. the widely circulated report that the
trusts are looking around for presidential
candidate will make 1t advisable for both
parties in Congress to reject the slightest
imputation of enjoying trust favor. What
ever the real facts may be, antitrust proc
lamations are certain to continue and
maintain high standard of fervor and
eloquence.
The Department of Justice rather than
the Department of Commerce will be looked
to for early results. The one is in full
swing, the other Just getting into shape.
The publicity feature OF the new law may
be slow In demonstrating its real value.
But the money voted for the vigorous pros
ecution Of the antitrust suits now awaiting
trial, and for bringing others as the devel-
oping situation may warrant, should be
fruitful under the administration Of an on
Ger who Is recognized as one Of the best
lawyers in the country. Mr.. Knox has
shown great interest in the whole discus
sion Of the subject, and has expressed his
faith in the ability Of the government to
''shackle cunning''-the Presidents phrase
without injury to the legitimate business
interests OF the country.

are many such in the United States:
1.-The Commoner will investigate and at

Of the paper will be interested to know

Stamp Out the Lotteries.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
A number Of lottery companies have been
doing business in this country. Their traf-
fic was interfered with. but not checked,
by the closing OF the United States mails
to their correspondence. They have found
it still possible and profitable to continue
business through the agency Of express
companies. They can still continue that
business within certain limitations, but
their operations must be confined to those
states which will tolerate them. The fact
that most Of these concerns work under
South American charters will in no way
affect the governments attitude toward
them. They are bad, no matter how or
where organized. and the harassment OF
them by the federal authorities ought to
permit.

Inadequate Public Supervision.

In the inquest into the causes and cir
cumstances Of the recent fatal collision be-
tween street car ard a railroad train at
Newark testimony was yesterday given by
the chief Of police that mo effort had been
made to enforce the street railway city Or
dinances." This astounding admission by
responsible oficial should set the people
not only OF Newark but Of other communi-
ties thinking seriously. How many cities
are there where the police regulations and
the laws governing street traffic are strict
ly administered? They could be counted
on the fingers OF one hand. And yet those
regulations and laws are directed at men
aces to life. and are intended to reduce to
a minimum the dangers which modern city
conditions cause to surround the individual.
Their neglect, deliberate or otherwise, Is
crime against the public safety. and yet
there is no more common sight than to see
q policeman watch without action a car
racing beyond the legal speed, or approach
ing another within the limit set by tho law.
or crossing intersecting tracks without
stopping. or crossing railroad tracks with
out the crew observing the simplest rules
Of precaution. And furthermore scores
of rules Of prudence. OF health and
Of safety which. though specifically unwrit-
ten. fall within the category Of the funda-
mental requirements of the public security
and often embraced generally by blanket
laws on the municipal statute books,
are hourly violated without punishment or
even rebuke

law. which should reinforce the authority
of the officials. prevents them from effect
