Grosscup on Corporations.

Judge Peter s. Grosscup, Of the
United States circuit court, Chicago,
yesterday expressed the belief that
the way Of escape from the tyrannies
and usurpations Of industrial or other
corporations is thru the supremacy of
"some political party with a settled
policy as to the great corporations of
the country" preventing IAN impend-
Ing Transformation in the ideals lying
at the foundation of a republican form
of government" He laid down as
essential facts the recognition Of COR
porations as "'here to stay" waterless
capitalization; no state charters with
q free hand to violate the laws of any
other state; restrictions on corpora
ton organizations to prevent special
privileges to few stockholders, and
government supervision over all cor
porations.
Grant that the Sherman act itself
was a sop to the agitators for re-
straining and restrictive action on the
part of congress, that act, sustained as
to its constitutionality several times
by the federal supreme court, is a
conspicuous and luminous mandate,
which has been a guide and a stimulus
TO the reformers. The strengthening
of public opinion, favoring the vitali-
cation Of the law, gave heart to peo-
pie who had been real sufferers thru
the abuses of corporate power, and
the republican party, who assumed
the responsibility Of encouraging the
sentiment against such abuses, has SO
far accepted the mission Of carrying
out the terms of the public law under
the several decisions Of the supreme
court, to the effect that congress has
the absolute right to regulate inter-
state commerce, just as if the country
were undivided by state lines; and the
courts can make any order which is
suppression of an illegal combination
The recent federal supreme court
decision leaves no obstacle in the way
of the enforcement Of the law agains
illegal corporations. 1t has been re-
ceived with much commentator thru
the length and breadth Of the nation
The public law is already con
structed and authoritatively construed
to prevent what Judge Grosscup call
the Transformation in the ideals ly
ing at the foundation Of republican
form Of government The applaus
of the audience which listened to JUS
tice Harlan as he read the clause o
the merger decision declaring that n
device in evasion Of the provisions o
the public law and no combination, b
whomsoever formed, Is beyond it
reach, was the echo Of the might

by the insurance companies that
for some reason Canada is more given
to fires than most countries. It is
said that the total fire losses in Cam
ada during the last twenty years have
considerably exceeded the total pre-
miums on fire insurance policies.
Minneapolis has been fortunate in
never having an extensive confagra-
ton in it's business district. The de-
structive fires at Baltimore, Rochester
and Toronto should warn us that our
turn may yet come. This warning
should lead to extraordinary precau-
tons to prevent fires, for here, as in
the case of disease, an ounce Of pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure.

The State and the Merger.

The st. Paul Dispatch and the
Pioneer Press are debating whether
the state administration is entitled to
any credit for the result in the mer-
ger case. The Pioneer Press is in
clined to ridicule the efforts of the
state and regard the expense incurred
by it as money wasted, whereas the
Dispatch insists that the state is
primarily entitled to credit for hav-
ing instituted the movement which re-
suited in the decree Of the supreme
court ordering a dissolution Of the
Northern Securities company.
Whether the states case has been
conducted with distinguished ability
h e j urnal is not prepared to
discuss. But it does not take expert
knowledge of legal methods and skill
to recognize the fact that the state
commenced it; that the prosecution OF
an organization formed for the pur-
pose of annulling the laws Of this
state was initiated by the state ad.
ministration. That the federal gov.
eminent was more successful In the
prosecution of it's case is a matter OF
little Importance in this connection
nor does the expense incurred by thu
state cut any figure in view of the
important result arrived at. What thu
situation called for was somebody t.
take the initiative. Minnesota hap
pened to have an administration which
had sufficient courage to do that es
sential part. 1t might have had al
the legal wisdom that the situation re
quired and all the expert legal abilit
obtainable, but if It had not had TIL
disposition to openlthe case nothin

It is to be hoped that the park board
will pay no attention to the protests Of
the musicians engaged to play at Lake
Harriet. against free concerts. The objec-
ton raised is that free concerts will draw
an unappreciative and noisy crowd, while
those who would be really interested will
be kept away. There will be no difficulty
about regulating the behavior of the
crowd, while the attendance Of the appre-
ciative will depend on the music.

MlENESOTA POLITICS
Buchanan and Foster Likely to Fight 1t
Out Between Themselves In the Sixth
Wilson's Entry In the Third District
Race Is Expected-Daneer to Other Re-
publican congressman More Remote
Situation In Rice County.

Senator E. B. Wood Of Long Prairie, |
who was in st. Paul yesterday, says his
name has been mentioned for congress
without his authority, and that he has
no thought of entering the sixth district
lists. He does not think that there will
be any new candidates, but expects the
campaign to be fought out between the
antagonists of two years ago, Congress
man Buchanan of Little Falls and A. F.
Foster of Litchf1eld.
Two years ago Mr.. Foster had quite a
little opposition in Meeller county, where
the old Heatwole organization supported
Buchanan. Much the same condition pre-
walls this time, but some of the leading
men Of the county who were neutral or
in favor of Buchanan before have agreed
to help the home candidate this time and
Foster expects to gain those thirty votes,
and perhaps more, right in his home
county. -
The third district situation is rapidly
coming to a head, and the friends Of
Frank M. Wilson predict that he will an
nOunce himself a candidate for congress
in very few weeks. The Red Wing man
has been canvassing the sentiment of the
district, and it is said that he is satisfied
the opposition to Davis will be willing to
get behind him unanimously.
It seems, a settled thing that M. J..
Bowling will keep quiet this year, and
will not contest Congressman Volstead' S
denomination. Senator Hitler H. Horton
of st. Paul Is understood to have aban-
| doned the idea of going after the fourth
district nomination, which seems to leave
Congressman Stevens clear sailing. Some
/ eighth district irreconcilables are talking
of bringing out another Duluth man
| against J. Adam Bede, but they have not
named their man, and until their threats
become more tangible the congressional
humorist will not feel much alarm. Con-
| gressnen Tawney of the first and Steen-
erson of the ninth are not likely to have
any opposition at the primaries.
| Second district republicans do not know
| whether they are going to have a brush
at the primaries or not. III. J. Miller Of
Luverne would like to try conclusions with
Congressman McCleary, but he has mo-
fully determined what to do. No one else
seems likely to enter, altho there has beer
some talk Of bringing out Ed Weaver q
| Mankato to capture Blue Earth county.
| A well-known republican from Faribault
who was in the cities yesterday expresse,
the belief that Rice county would send
solid Collins delegation to the state con
vention. A Collins club has been organ
ized in Faribault and another is to b
started in Mortified. The same informan
has an interesting version of the recen
change in the management of the Farf
bault Journal. He says:
1.-THE recent municipal elections at Fart
bault and Mortified were direct slaps q
the domineering policy pursued for year

severe that 1t was necessary for him {

In this old Tavern there are rooms 30 dear

I love these corners and familiar hooks
Where have sat with people and with books.
The very imperfections and the scars
About the walls and ceiling and the floors,
The sagging OF the windows and the door,
The dinginess that mars
The hearth and chimney, and the wood laid bare
There on the old black chair.

As blue and bright as c1oudless sky

To an English heart it whispers
Three words Forget me not.

For sheer brayado, says the United
Service Magazine, it would be hard to rival
the feat of Ensign ellis, who saw a stray
torpedo coming slowly but surely toward
the anchored torpedo boat Porter, in the
Spanish American war. He sprang over
board, turned the nose of the torpedo in q
safer direction. and screwed UP the firing
pin tightly, SO that It would not operate.
Then, treading water, he saluted Lieuten-
ant Fremont, and reported: Sir, have
to report have captured torpedo =
Bring it on board, sir, . commanded FREE
mont, and ellis actually did 80, swimming
