WHATHASHE HEARD?
HAVE THE TRUSTS WHISPERED
IN THE EARS OF KNOX?
Attorney Generals Recent Action 10
Extremely slonifieant-can It Be
the Campaign Fund Has Been
Threatened? -Policies Before Duty.

It is very good indeed In Attorney
General Knox to give notice that here
after no more bad trusts will be called
UP and asked to extend the hand for
the ferule without warning.
Washington dispatches positively af-
firm that he has done this. They say
that before leaving Washington he
directed one of his assistants to say
for publis alton words to the effect that
hereafter until further notice bad
trusts will be warned and have
chance to reform.
This raises the question where the
attorney general gets his authority to
treat trusts which he knows to be bad
-violators of the law--like naughty
school boys who are lectured a little,
admonished to be good in the future
and notified that If they do so any
more there will be stick coming.
The Sherman law contains no au-
thorization of this kind. 1t forbids
combinations in restraint of trade
and prescribes certain penalties for
violation of the law, and says never
a word about warnings. Apart from
the special provisions of the statute
it is the accepted doctrine that an Of
fender cannot plead ignorance of the
law. AS a sort OF allowance for pos
sible ignorance statutes often pre-
scribe comparatively light penalty
for first offense, but they always
prescribe penalty, and no administra-
tive or judicial officer is at liberty to
suspend the law at pleasure, after
the manner of country schoolmaster
and give known offenders chance to
be good.
It looks little as though Mr.. Knox
was disagreeably disappointed in the
merger decision and was straining
point to make peace with the trusts,
good and bad, without whose support
the Republican party would be routed
beyond hope Of rallying for lack OF
funds in the military chest.
There are plenty of trusts which are
VIGOROUSLY just as bad as the North
ern Securities company ever was.
There Is, for instance, the combine OF
anthracite coal roads, which is con-
demned not by common report merely
but by two official commissions-the
industrial commission and the inter-
state commerce commission-both OF
which took testimony forcing them to
the conclusion that the anthracite
combine openly and defiantly and con-
tinuously violates both the interstate
commerce law and the Sherman anti
trust law.
Unexpectedly successful in its pro-
ceedings against the northwestern
merger, the administration is alarmed.
It may survive the wrath of the Nor
gans and Hills, but it shrinks from the
enmity of others who are no less
VIGOROUSLY violators of the laws.
Accordingly it gives them notice
that they can go right on as usual I'M
til they receive warning, and publishes
its purpose not to take care that the
laws be faithfully executed" as the
constitution provides.
1t is case of policies before duty.

Always There is Some Excuse.

Senator Quay is confident that a
period of prosperity is one in which
the tariff ought not to be touched. In
1894 the Republicans said it was a
terrible mistake to touch the tariff
because business was so depressed.
On the other hand, they changed the
tariff in 1890, when the country was
very prosperous. There is no time
when the Republicans think the tariff
ought to be reduced and they think
any time is a good one for raising
duties If the people will stand it.
When they talk about the condition
of business they are throwing dust
in the peoples eyes.

short.sighted English workmen.

Those English workingmen who re-
ported on the conditions of American
labor without once mentioning the
tariff showed themselves unworthy of
our hospitality. Had they not even
read President Roosevelts speech ex-
planning that protection was scienti-
fically adjusted to make up for our
higher wages? Why, the stupid fell
lows talk as If they were the ones who
needed protection against our highly
paid workingmen! They say that we
are sharply competing with them in
the markets of the world, and yet that
they hope to hold their own provided
they work hard and adopt our i'm
proved machinery. Not word about
our tariff, which we all know is our
most improved machinery, turning our
prosperity automatically.

MaeterIInck Coming to America.

1t is announced that Maurice Mae.
terlinck, the gifted Belgian author.
will visit the United States during the
coming summer, accompanied by his
almost equally celebrated bride,
Georgette Leblanc, the singer and ac-
tress. Maeterlinck does not confine
his study to literature. He is good
deal of philosopher, knowing Elmer
son about as thoroughly as any other
living man, and has devoted great
deal of attention to bee life and the
management of apiaries.

Knox is Between Two Fires.

The attorney general is in a guam
Diary. He has shown that successful
prosecution of the trusts can be con-
Quoted and he doesn't want to injure
the trusts. They are creatures of the
Republican party, and the party is
their creature. If the party is going
to turn against it's friends there is 60
ing to be trouble. Mr.. Knox Is be-
tween two fires. If he does not 60 on
the people will make life burden
for him and if he does go on the trusts
will smash him.

When the Tariff viii Be Lowered

The existing high tariff could not for
a moment continue to receive the ap-
proval of a majority Of the voters but
for the cunningly devised fable that
it is in the interest Of the laboring
masses of the country. The inexor-
able logic of incontestable facts shows
that this is not true. Whenever the
masses of the voters that labor come
to see this lowering of tariff sched-
ules will be inevitable.

1here Is More Work to po.

Attorney General Knox is receiving
good many compliments for his
work in bringing about a decision. in
favor of the people in the merger case.
In this respect the attorney general
seems to have done his whole duty.
But there are other trusts against
which he might proceed, and he should
not weary in we'll doing.

TURKISH CRUISER LAUNCHED.
First Warship Built in United States
 for Ottoman Empire.

Philadelphia, July 26.-In the pres ence of a distinguished gathering of diplomats, foreign and American naval officers and prominent citizens of Phil adelphia, the Turkish cruiser Medjedia, the first warship ever built here for tGe Ottoman empire was launched yesterday at Cramps shipyards.
 The sponsor for the new ship was Mrs. Edwin s. Cramp, and the baptism was an evasion of the Koran's teach ing turned into a graceful compliment of the American people. The Koran forbids any Turkish woman from par ticipating in a christening at which wlne is used. The difficulty was over come by the selection of an American woman, Mrs. Cramp, to break the bot tie on the bow of the sea-fighter.
