Mr.. Littlefield on Trusts.

Mr.. Littlefields speech will make for pro-
gress on the trust question. 1t shows wide
and well-digested reading and careful
thought 1t deals illuminatingiy with two
points of very great value in any effort to
reach a solution of the difficulty.
Some men engaged in the crusade against
the evils of oppressive monopoly seem con-
WINGED that those evils are entirely new:
that we are called upon to deal with mon
ster which has suddenly appeared and
whose nature, except that 1t Is vicious, is
wholly unknown. Naturally therefore they
are adding nothing of Importance to the
discussion Of the question. They are simply
multiplying words. and advertising their
willingness to strike in any and all direc-
tons They are blind, as the joint result
both of ignorance and fury, and. If they In
fuence the situation at ALL injure the
cause they would serve. They are uncon-
sciously among the friends Of the trusts.
There are others-not quite so noisy. and
on that account the more to be reckoned
with-who use the antitrust cry as a
weapon for attacking the protective tariff.
The old style appeal for free trade has
failed. They must have something new,
and 1t suits their present plans to declare
that the tariff Is the mother Of trusts.
Away with protection Why undertake a
remedy without going to the root of the
difficulty? The tariff breeds trusts. Collect
no customs except for revenue purposes
strictly, and the trusts must die. What
could be simpler? While the tariff remains
the trusts with all their evils will remain.
Mr.. Littlefield leaves these individuals
with not leg to stand on. He traces trusts
back to very remote period, and shows
that they are an old acquaintance. They
have been in business for many centuries.
have had evil manifestations all along, and
men all along have been trying in one way
or another to curb them. The effort has
never been wholly successful. It probably
will not be wholly successful now. But we
should use all the means in our power, and
good returns may be expected from that
policy. As for the attack on protection, Mr..
Littlefield presents the well-known fact
that trusts 1ourished under free trade con-
ditions, and that the protest against them
in England Is quite as vigorous as that
heard in the United States.
The problem is knotty. But such a dis
cussion Of it as Mr.. Littlefield has given us
cannot fail in the long run to aid materially
in forwarding what earnest men have in
view on the subject in the interests of the
public welfare

Growth Of the Parker Boom

The Parker southern boom is booming
Georgia made the first bid. and now Ten

states are anxious to make the personal ac-
qualntance OF the man reputed to be so
popular at home that New York, it is prom

umn IN November. 1904, If he is nominated
for President. Very naturally lively de-
gree of interest attaches to him. What
manner Of man is he? How does he look
and how does he talk? The south wants to
know. And as she cannot 90 to him she
invites him to come to her. If he accents
her civilties he will have a delightful time
1t will be most agreeable change for him
to turn from the dry routine of the court
room to the banquet hall and the public re-
ception and be the subject of popular eulogy
and the center Of interest.
A faint whisper Is heard here and there
that Judge Parker ought not to do this sort
Of thing. 1t is characterized as undignifed,
No judge, 1t is suggested, should seek politi-
cal honors by any means, but most particu-
larly by means employed by professional
politicians. VIII he not injure rather than
help himself by such show of eagerness
and complacency? What man, even the
most seasoned office-seeker, ever reached
the presidency by that route? How many

years? A list of names is given, formidable
both for length and distinction

To The Hague at Last.

The Venezuelan arbitration has reached
a most satisfactory stage, and one from
which 1t can easily pass to final settle
ment with a minimum of friction and dan
ger of further complications. President
Roosevelt has promptly delivered the only
possible answer to the request of the allies
to arbitrate the demand for preferential
treatment, and that question now goes to
The Hague for settlement. The decision
Of that court will have much more weight
than mere dictum of President Roose-
velt's. even though the latter would settle
the immediate controversy. The issue Is of
vital Importance to all small states, par
ticularly those which have acquired the
debtor habit. If suddenly and secretly
formed alliance can swoop down upon an
embarrassed country and by firing a few
guns and sinking few worthless war YES
sells secure a first lien on the customs of
the debtor nation. a premium is immedi-
ately placed upon undetermined and war
provoking treatment of the minor powers
By the larger ones. If, however, The Hague
court writes into International law the
counter proposition, the chances for future
pacific adjustments of business difficulties
between countries will be greatly increased.
Furthermore, The Hague is precisely the
place for the settlement Of just such ques-
tiCns of International principle. There be-
ing no precedent in this case the worlds
most reliable and influential tribunal should
long ago have been invoked. The conduct
Of the negotiations on the part Of the allies
has not been wholly creditable to them.
They have adopted the methods of petit
foggers. Instead Of frankly coming to an
issue at once on this matter Of the prefer
entail treatment, and. finding 1t unsolvable
at this capital referring 1t frankly and
cheerfuny to The Hague, they have tried
once more, despite their first rebuff, to in
volve President Roosevelt in the snarl. Ac-
cording to reliable reports, too, the case
was complicated by the pettishness Of the
British ambassador, who took umbrage at
the prcmptness with which Mr.. Bowen re-
fused to entertain the six-year alliance
idea. 1t Is creditable to the British foreign
office that apparently It's representative
here was quickly reminded Of his respon-
sibilities. which rise superior to all personal
considerations.
A failure to raise the blockade from the
Venezuelan coast Immediately upon the
settlement of the details of the submission
to The Hague will reflect upon not only
the fairness but the wisdom Of the allies.
The sooner the blockade is lifted the earlier
will Venezuela be able to pay off her debts.
1t Is apparently Mr.. Bowen's chief purpose
to secure the freedom of Venezuela's COM
merce from the outrageous blockade, which
from the first has lacked Justification and
has involved very grave dangers. The full
story of the European blunders in this
Venezuelan affair will fill large volume
and when 1t is written. some day, 1t will
furnish reliable guide to nations as to
what not to do in dealing with debtor
states

him no opportunity whatever to express
himself on subjects Of general interest
Mr.. Olney as a practicing lawyer enjoys
great freedom. The newspapers and the
magazines are open to him. and his views
on current topics are solicited. Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. German need no introduction to
the public. They are old campaigners and
are on the stump nearly every year. More
over, the New York brand of politics Is
not famous for nice distinctions. In the
city the candidates for places on the bench
are assessed for campaign expenses" just
as the candidates for political places are,
and they pay as willingly and as much as
the others do
Judge Parker will probably go south, and
II he makes the impression predicted by his
admirers his rivals will have something to
think about The south Is the field for
the New Yorker to cultivate.

Growing Cold on Parker.

From the Knoxville Journal and Tribune.
1t is said that the members of the ma
tional democratic committee have been
sounded touching the availability of Judge
Parker of New York as presidential cam
didate. Three Of them, as the story goes,
expressed themselves as being favorable to
the judge, three were for German and three
for Stone, the gum shoe" statesman of
Missouri. The others are at sea, and don't
know what to say.
But, unless all the signs are deceptive,
the Parker boom, If not dead, is to be al
lowed to sleep for a time. 1t will be seen
If some other name cannot be found that
will excite the enthusiasm Of the boys from
the start, and that will keep them warm
in the collar until the votes have been
counted out

In a Republic!
From the New York Evening Post.

With the governor of North Carolina de-
claring that universal suffrage Is a total
failure, and the governor of Georgia pro-
testing against 'low ideas Of equality the
believer in the old American ideals may well
rub his eyes. Governor Terrell wants the
south to be left alone to work out it's own
problems. This Is precisely the phrase of
the slave holders. They were certain that
nothing would SO fill the south with doubt,
strife and gloom as the meddling of the
north In any question relating to the south s
peculiar institution" So now the south
ern states would draw the veil of secrecy
over their treatment of negro Office holders
and voters.

Twelve white men in Mississippi have
been sent to jail for lynching two negroes.
The number of the murderers prevents the
full penalty for homicide being exacted.
But Mississippi is doing pretty well, for
Mississippi to inf1ict any penalty at all for
lynching negroes. It is a new departure.
