people in conditions of prosperity and
happiness. There is point, however,
at which government, for the prctec-
ton of its own interests and those of
its people, is justified in limiting the
freedom of action of semi-public cor
pOrations of the common carrier type.
1t was for the protection of its own
interests and those of its people, by
preventing undue restraint of trade,
that the National Government took
legal action against the famous Hill
Morgan railway merger in the North
west.
If pressed to its utmost limits by a
thoughtless and radical government
the principle which was affirmed by
the Supreme court in Mondays deci-
sion would probably result in serious
disturbance to the business interests
OF the country. Fortunately, at the
present time there is in the White
House a man who, although he has
OCCh CttllCu Stll ullSClt ItSlu6hD ny
men who were shouting for Bryan,
free silver and anarchy in 1896 and
1900, is in reality, as Elihu Root has
well said, the greatest agent for the
conservative preservation of the re-
public's interests in the country to-
day. This is no time for talking of
prOmiscuous measures of repression
against all cOmbinations-good and
bad-in the thought that the principle
applied to the Northern Securities
company by theISupreme court might
also be applied to them. The present
is time for conservatism, rather than
thoughtless radicalism. Nobody, it is
safe ITO say, realizesl.this fact better
than Theodore Roosevelt himself In
bringing suit against the Northwes-
tern merger, the present national ad-
ministration showed that the old
Democratic plea that the party in
power was unable or afraid to handle
the trust question frankly and fear
lessly.was mere self seeking falsehood.
The administration can now we'll
afford to use care in the way in which
the argument which killed the North
ern Securities company be further di-
rected, in order that the legitimate
business interests of the country be
saved from any possibility of that
chaos and disaster which might follow
too radical pressing of this argu-
ment in many directions to the fullest
possible limits.

REMITTANCES;
THURSDAY, MARCH II, 1904.
WHO Will VOTE2

In a political procession on the
streets of Elkton, in 1888, Fourth
District banner bore the inscription
No Free Wool" 1t was learned later
that the banner bearer owned four
sheep which the dogs had spared him.
A Democratic stump orator of Cecil,
asked with much unction-"Who
would do the voting, their owner or
the four Sheep"
The question was possibly polit-
ically pertinent, and carried its own
answer.
A case parallel to this, would arise
under the proposed grandfather's
clause of the new Democratic suffer
age plan. John Does grandfather
may have been in his grave for a gen
Grafton, and may have been a reputa-
bic citizen. The grand son may be
the yeriest scalawag, with no electoral
qualification save that of residence.
And yet he will vote.
Who would vote, the worthy grand
sire, or the graceless grandson-or as
in the other case-the man or the
sheep?-Cecil Wing.
