Our FILIPINO WARDs.-The steamer
Shawmut lately arrived at Tacoma
from the Philippines with 235 natives
OF the islands destined for the St.
Louis Exposition. They comprised
representatives of many isles, and
were as different in appearance as if Of
other nationalities. None of them
were notable for intelligence or show
ing any evidences of thrift. It is
probable that their appearance at the
Worlds Exposition will do more to
educate our people to a realization OF
the futility of making intelligent
citizens of these wards, except as Gov.
Taft says, by a long period of patient
teaching, than anything that could
have been substituted. They ap-
peared to feel the inclemency of the
weather quite severely, and to this con.
dition will hardly be improved as they
travel eastward before Winter has
relinquished his cold sway. Many OF
them wore little or any clothing. and
had to become infatuated to the use
of apparel on shipboard.

MERELY QUESTION OF JrRIsDIC-
TIoN-Judge Hanford, CT the Federal
Court at Seattle, has declared Judges
Robinson, OF this city, and Hauser, OF
Seattle, to be in contempt, for their
action as attorneys OF Marie Curran, in
the Sullivan estate litigation. The
Judge had decided against her claim,
but that decision was reversed by the
U. S. Circuit Court Of Appeals at San
Francisco, which held that Judge
Hanford had no jurisdiction, and that
it was vested in the Probate Court.
The attorneys of Marie Curran having
applied to the latter Court to proceed
with administration, Judge Hanford
claims that his injunction against her
and here attorneys is still in force,
notwithstanding the reversal, and has
ordered the latter to appear and show
cause why they should not be pun
ished for contempt. 1t is held that
the charge of contempt is only tech.
nical. and is the ordinary way of rails
ing the question of conflicting juris.

SHALL THE LAW BE LONGER IG.
NoRED?-Representative Southwick of
New York, in commenting upon
trusts. in the House a few days ago,
said that "the antitrust law was
framed by Republican, passed by
Republican Senate and signed by a
Republican President, and that it re.
manned dead letter on the statute
books during the second term of
President Cleveland" The latter de-
clares, in subsequent interview, that
he was blocked by decisions of the Su-
preme Court from attempting its en-
forcement, but there are very few who
will not persist in believing that it was
want of inclination more than q
lack OF constitutional law that has
kept it sleeping SO long; just about
the same lethergy, from the same
cause, which impelled Attorney Knox
to hasten the assurance that COM
mercial and business interests will not
be disturbed by the Northern Securi-
ties decision. 1t is now evident that
this determination comes by direct
order of the President, who expects to
blow hot for corporations as we'll as
cold for the people. Those who I'M
derstand the situation and can see the
intrlcacies of the political lead being
developed, demand the plain duty of
prosecution of law defiers-now that
all doubt of lawful intent is removed
shall be at once begun.

WHY DoS'T He TACKLE THE PAPER
TRrsT?-The Supreme Court having
decided that any" combination in the
form OF a trust or otherwise, or couspir-
acy in restraint OF trade or commerce"
is illegal and criminal, and placed in
the hands OF the Attorney General the
authority, backed by half a million
dollars for expenses, to suppress such
combinations, the n. Y. World sug-
gests that there is no simpler case to
attack than the Paper Trust, which
comes clearly within the scope OF the
law as defined by the Supreme Court.
II has mills in five States and forests
IN several Others, and in conjunction
with the General Paper Co., of Chi
cago, corresponding to the Northern
Securities Co., controls practically
the entire industry OF the Union.
There could be no more complete ex.
ample OF interstate combination. The
twenty thousand newspapers OF the
country are compelled to pay tribute
to this trust, which has lately had the
duty Of So on pulp advanced to Sc to
to ward off any possible foreign COM
petition in supplies from abroad. Now
as the Department OF Justice has an
unexpended balance of over 100000
expressly appropriated for prosecution
of trusts, this intimation is gently but
firmly passed on to Mr.. Knox: Con-
gress has given you the gun and paid
for the powder. The Supreme Court
has tested the weapon and found it
good. When, Mr.. Knox, are you 60
ing to fire?
