suBoRD1NAr1NG ANOTHER ISSUE?


The thing now looming big as legislative issue
in Congress is the question of increasing the pow
ers of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which
grows out of the Presidents recommendation Mr..
Roosevelt has taken a positive position fayoring
such extension while it is known and obvious
fact that Republican leaders in the House and
Senate are hostile thereto.
Quite naturally the partys present organization
would be antagonstic to measure directed against
the railroad powers. The first skirmish in the
legislative fight has taken place and the situation
promises outand-out test of strength between
the railroad influences and the erstwhe leaders on
the one hand and the President and party radicals
on the other; and an issue Of size to overshadow
all other matters before Congress and occupy the
whole of the present session. very much as the
deadlock over the statehood bill occupied former
session Should this be the case, the genuinely big
and important consideration profered by the Presi-
dent will necessarily be subordinated the question
Of antitrust legislation.

The advantages will be used to the best pur-

capital and to increase the population by attracting
desirable inhabitants. The business and profes

act in harmony to promote the city's affairs at

st. Louis has derived great benefits from the

ST. LOUIS AND ENERGETIC MEN.

Americans who 30 to England after franchises
or castles to South Africa for prospecting to the
Philippines for whatever they may get are knight
errants of commercial adventure who ride away
from certainty into chance. Behind they leave op-
portunities promising and more definite and a
land farer and more habitable. Their long dis
tance view. fantastcated by imagination, extends
over the benefits of home and gives substance to
gossip and dreams of countries far away.
1t will be many generations before all parts of
the United States will have been developed In
the period of growth thousands and millions of
hardy sensible people will honest living if not

ends of the earth. No country-not even Africa or
the Phppines-offers to industrious, conservative,
energetic and brainy men the prospects of success
which are matured and maturing in growing sec
tions in the United States
At present the South. the Southwest the West
and the Middle States going ahead rapidly.
The population is increasing Business institutions
establishing. Natural resources. so great that
even experts cannot determine their quantity or
quality, just beginning to develop. This prog
ress is proceeding under the best conveniences of
civilization. In fact, the conditions for the sue
cess of the average clean man are ideal. and it is
hard to see how other parts Of the world could be
attractive than the improving sections of the
United States.
ST. Louis shows the opportunities which exist
in the prosperous cities situated in growing dis
tricts, for the right kind Of men. a city of this
type, although old, has arstocracy: man is a
man. and if he have good character and the means
to meet the obligations of his station there is no
bar against his rise a city of this kind invites
wealth and talent and labor; it welcomes men who
will work and live respectfully. Its progress is so
substantial as to be surely permanent. and rapid
that every man who has the capacity to lead is GER
tain to go well TO the top.
There is no other city in the United Staes-and
therefore, in the wOrd-xhere ability and character
have many and sure prospects as in st. Louis
The city Is making solid and rapid progress and it
can use the services of of the right kind The
opportunities are much the same throughout the
whole South, Southwest and West. There Is no
reason why any American should become for

NEW ST. LOUIS ENTERPRISE.

Conditions for the progress and betterment of
st. Louis could not be more proptious The trans
formation which accompanied the Worlds Fair
made st. Louis a finer city. The Worlds Falr
both displayed the energy of the inhabitants and
produced substantial and large increases in The
Wholesale and retail business. The achievements
and festivities advertised st. Louis as capable
and great city. The civic spirit, intensified by
what has been accomplished is ready to carry the
work forward.
The Worlds Fair came to q close without leay-
ing any Of the usual evils and injuries. Up to a
year ago St Louis probably the only metropolis
in the United States which had no slums no district
thick with poverty and misery. probably the only
metropolis which had standing problem of this
kind Even throughout the Worlds Fair there was
no marked change in this regard. arrivals who
were not self-supporting treated with severity
and forced to depart 1t may have seemed too un
charitable to refuse help and to enforce penalties:
but. in the end, the policy appears to be most
charitable. Not only is st. Louis still without
slums: but the persons who would have composed
the slums are better Of or at least no worse off
and perhaps have gone to smaller places where
they can earn their livelihood and feel like men and
women.
St Louis has found the Worlds Fair only bene-

or in the city's tributary territory. There is no
financial strtngency in the city in the citys ribu

customary hberality as If the Exposition, with the

ANANIAs, ANXIOUS CUR1AE.

In Its fit Of righteous Indignation over the Demo-
boxes, the Globe says: The Republicans of Mis-
souri, are now. as always opposed to the counting
of any fraudulent vote"
The Globe should go further and tell the truth
the Republicans are opposed to the recounting of
fraudulent votes Nevertheless the Democrats pro-
them went into the result.
The Ananias acrobat of journalism succeeds in
making itself clownishly ridiculous in Hopping over
to defend the use Of writs of prohibition after so
energetcaly attacking the action of Democrats in
previous elections. And to make itself the very
prize jackass of foolish fOrensics it ops back in
the case of the Fourth Ward and consents that the
ballots thereof should be counted-beieving that
the Republican candidates have nothing to lose in
that case.
Ananias simply out-Ananases itself in writhing
through a half column of the most tOrtuous and
tangled logic ever offered to sane readers and winds
up with the sounding meaninglessness that cit now
remains to be seen If the ballot boxes of St Louis
are opened or closed according to the behest of
party" What in the world Is that paper driv-
ing at?
Doubtless the courts will be able to decide the
contest cases without the assistance of Journal
which is morally obtuse to say the least, and has
to all outward intent lost its universal unity of ap
perception. As an amicus curiae the Globe would
appear to be Of about as much value as blind
Jester.

directly, whereas the broad and general doctrine of
procedure against the trusts which he outlines and
urges upon Congress more nearly goes to the heart
of the matter. 1t looks to legislation directly af-
fecting even larger and more comprehensive pow
ers than the rlilroads-touches great group Of
privileged interests in the quick. AS we have be-
fore observed, such legislation would not be de-
structve. 1t could hardly be called forceful anti
trust legislation. 1t does not pretend to strike at
the root of the trust evils but rather would deal
with the surface manifestations of deep-lying in
iquity injustice and oppression.
but, as far as it goes, it is literal, direct anti
| trust legislation which Mr.. Roosevelt urges. To
subordinate it is far more important to high
finance and the monopolistic hierarchy than would
be the subordination of the railroad phase of
Mr.. Roosevelt's comparative radicalism
Having temporarily disposed of the disturbing
tarif-rcvision proposition, the standpat elements
naturally turn to the next most threatening ques
tion, and no better way of eliminating it could be
devised than the "subordination" often and so
successfully practiced.
The public is pretty well familiar with this sort
OF thing and will not be surprised if nothing
is heard of the antitrust question. President Roose
welt is said to be ready to fight for the Interstate
Commerce legisaton-a fact which the trust power
should welcome. since if he be thoroughly
cuped along this line he will not be likely to give
trouble along the other. No intimaton, by the
way, is given of the Presidents readiness to fight
for the main proposition. So, may expect
tremendous issue the empowering of the In
terstate Commerce Commission to fix rates. Pos
sibly Mr. Roosevelt will win it, He may be al
lowed to win after compromise with the rail
road elements. The great trust and financial pow
ers could afford to take small loss as to rates
rather than have him direct his attacking forces
against the main issue
With nothing done against the trusts directly
dissatisfaction must grow in the radical wing of
the party, or the anti-stand-pat element. To do
nothing toward revision toward correcting and
controlling the trusts will effectively split the
Republican party any positive or radical meas
ures would. There is greater danger in mac
ton than in strong legislation. Subordnating the
big questions only transfers weapon to the op-
position and arms it with q powerful appeal to
popular support. Upon the whole, the way Of
standpat transgresson seems very hard at this
day.
