progress should be tentative and cautious.
We must grow by evolution, not by revolu-
ton. There must be no hurry, but there
must also be no halt; and those who are
anxious that there should be no sudden
and violent changes must remember that
precisely these sudden and violent changes
will be rendered likely If we refuse to
make the needed changes in cautious and
moderate manner.
At the present moment the greatest need
Is for an increase in the power of the
national government to keep the great
highways of commerce open alike to all
on reasonable and equitable terms. Less
than a century ago these highways We're
still. as they had been since the dawn of
history, either waterways, natural or arti-
fetal, or else ordinary roads for wheel We
hicles drawn by animal power.
The railroad which was utterly unknown
when our government was formed and
when the great principles of our jurispru-
dence We're laid down, has now become al
most everywhere the most important. and,
In many large regions, the only form of
highway for commerce. The man who con-
trolls its use cannot be permitted to control
it in his own interest alone.
1t is not only just but 1t is in the interest
of the public that this man should receive
the amplest payment for the masterful
business capacity which enables him to
benefit himself while benefiting the public;
but in return he must himself recognize his
duty to the public. He will not and cannot
do this If our laws are so defective that in
the sharp competition of the business world
the conscientious man Is put at a disad-
vantage by his less scrupulous fellows
In the Interest Of Railway Men.
It is in the interest of the conscientious
and pubiic-spirited railway man that there
should be such governmental supervision of
the railway traffic of the country as to re-
quire from his less scrupulous competitors,
and from INSCRIPTIONS big shippers as well
that heed to the public welfare which he
himself would willingly give, and which is
of vital consequence to the small shipper.
Every important railroad is engaged In in
terstate commerce. Therefore this control
over the railroads must come through the
national government.
The control must be exercised by some
governmental tribunal, and it must be real
and effective. Doubtless there will be
risk that occasionally. If an unfit Presi-

The Attorney Generals View of the
Decision on the Beef Trust.

In speaking of the decision Of the Su-
preme Court in the so-called beef trust
case, Attorney General Moody said:
Il was present in court when a synopsis
of the decision was stated orally by Mr..
Justice Holmes. There is no improperly
in my saying that, as l understood that
statement the opinion sustains in all re-
spects the contentious of the government
and affirms the decree of the court below
In all substantial particulars. The case
decides that the traffic in livestock trans
ported from the state or territory of its
origin to another state for sale and held
there for sale is interstate commerce, and
that those engaged in buying and selling
such livestock are engaged in interstate
commerce. This question has been before
the court twice before, but was left unde-
cided because the cases in which 1t was
presented turned upon other considerations.
The decision condemns as an unlawful re-
straint of trade the combination between
Independent dealers to suppress all compe-
ttion In the purchase of livestock thus Sit
uated. 1t condemns an unlawful re-
Straint of trade the combination between
such dealers for the purpose Of fixing and
maintaining uniform prices In the sale of
meat throughout the country; it condemns
as an unlawful restraint of trade the COM
bina ton between such dealers to obtain
preferential rates for the transportation of
their product by common carriers. the
decision makes it clear that all combina-
tons engaged in interstate commerce by
which competition between them in such
commerce is suppressed fall under the pro-
hibition of the so-called antitrust act"
In this case the opinion of the court was
a unanimous one. There is but one prece-
dent for this, Of the cases brought under
the antitrust act, and that is the Addyston
Pipe case. OF the other five cases brought
by the government and decided by the SUI
preme Court. two cases-the Hopkins case
and Anderson case-were decided against
the government; and three cases-the Joint
Traffic Associa ton, Trans Missouri Freight
Association and Northern Securities case
were decided in favor of the government by
a vote of 5 to OF the justices.
The Attorney General declined to say
anything with reference to any future pro-
ceedings in this or any other antitrust
ease. But the closing words of his oral ar
gument before the Supreme Court in this

dent is elected, this control will be abused;
but this is only another way Of saying
that any adequate governmental power,
from the power of taxation down, can and
will be abused if the wrong men get con-
troll of it.
The details must rest with the law
makers of the two houses of Congress; but
about the principle there can be no doubt.
Hasty or vindictive action would merely
work damage; but in temperate, resolute
fashion, there must be lodged in some
tribunal the power over rates, and eSpe-
cially over rebates-whether secured by
means of private cars, of private tracks, in
the form of damages, or commissions, or
in any other manner-which will protect
alike the railroad and the shipper and put
the big shipper and the little shipper on
an equal footing. Doubtless no law would
accomplish all that enthuiasts hope; there
is always disappointment over the results
of such law among the oversanguine;
but very real and marked good has come
from the legislation and administration of
the last few years; and now, as part of a
coherent plan, 1t is entirely possible. and,
indeed necessary to enact an additional
law which will mean further progress
along the same lines of definite achieve
ment in the direction Of securing fair deal
ing as between man and man.
Justice for Both Sides.
In some such body as the interstate COM
merce commission there must be lodged in
effective shape the power to see that every
shipper who uses the railroads and every
man who owns or manages railroad shall
on the one hand be given justice and on the
other hand be required to do justice. JUS
tice--so far as 1t is humanity possible to give
and to get JUSTICES the foundation of our
government We are not trying to strike
down the rich man: on the contrary, we will
not tolerate any attack upon his rights.
We are not trying to give an improper adj
vantage to the poor man because he is poor,
to the man of small means because he has
not larger means; but we are striving to see
that the man of small means has exactly as
good a chance, so far we can obtain 1t
for him, as the man Of larger means; that
there shall be equality of opportunity for
the one as for the other.
We do not intend that this republic shall
ever fail as those republics of olden time
failed. in which there finally came to be a
government by classes, which resulted either
in the poor plundering the rich or in the
rich exploiting and in one form or another
enslaving the poor; for either event means
| the destruction of free institutions and of
individual liberty. Ours Is not a govern

In an opinion by Justice Brewer the SUI

Il can only hope that when the law shall

men have an interest in the supremacy of
the laws-none great an interest as

they should cling to, as to the rock of their

SUE FOR THE INSURANCE
ON CONTRABAND OF WAR
Getz Brothers Want Payment for
Beef Cargo Which Was Seized
Before Reaching Port Arthur.

A second suit for the recovery of
insurance on contraband of war
shipped to Russian ports in war time
was begun yesterday by Getz Brothers
against the st. Paul Fire and Marine
Insurance Company. The former suit
was based upon beef shipments to
Vladivostok, which were protested
against by the insurance company
after the steamer China sailed.
Yesterdays action grows out of a
shipment of 1920 barrels of beef on
the steamer Korea in February of
last year, billed for Port Arthur. The
Korea reached Nagasaki on March 2
last. and on March 19 the cargo was
seized and condemned by the Cover
nor of Nagasaki as contraband of
war. The plaintiffs demand the pay
ment of $15,900 on the policy, which
insured against seizure in war.

Selby Case on Trial.

The trial of Isaac Selby, charged
with assault to murder for shooting
at Judge J. c. B. Hebbard on Novem-
ber %, was begun in Judge Lawlor's s
court yesterday. Judge Hebbard and
other eye-witnesses testified to the
shooting and the Judges chair was
introduced as an exhibit. A number
of witnesses were called for the de-
fense, including Judge Sloss, Police
Judge Fritz and Attorney Boardman,
who testified as to the defendants pc
culiar actions and religious beliefs.
The case will go to the jury this af-
ternoon. Several times the defendant
attempted to question the witnesses,
but he was forced to keep silent. 1t
was intended to delay the trial till
dispositions were received from Aus
tralia as to the defendants mental
condition, but as Judge Sloss is to
leave soon it was decided not to wait
for them.
