Presiden, Roosevelt remarked
the other day at one of his stops on
his southern trip, that he was op-
posed to government ownership of
railroads, and believed that the in
terests of the public would be suf-
ficiently guarded against unjust
combinations of the transporter
ton companies if federal control
merely were exer rciseG over them,
and under such conditions the
railroads had best be left in pri-
vate hands. The Presidents view
of the situation is we'll enough so
far as it goes, but time will show
whether private ownership of the
roads under federal control will be
an advancement over private own
ership without the government
supervision. There is only one
way to make such supervision ef-
fective and unless this is done the
public will find itself no freer from
the grating proclivities of rail
road corporations than it is under
the present conditions. The en-
forcement of the full penalty of
the infraction of the regulating
law, irrespective of the position,
wealth or antecedents of the men
who assume to break them. There
must be a square deal for the pub
lie in the contemplated laws to
regulate railroads and their en-
forcement after enactment If pub
lie ownership of railroads is not to
be tenable.

f1uenccs and wholly ''irresponsi-
BILE" from narrowly political
standpoint. We require prosecu-
tors and Judges who are not in
any degree awed by the social, f.
nancial or political prominence of
the offenders.
Rigid application of the law and
a measure of real punishment met
ed out under the plain authority
of the law will have a deeper NOR
al and deterrent effect than any
other quantity of legislative and
reform enthusiasm.
Failure of late in the application
of law must be charged in some ex-
tent to Judges in whose mouth the
sentence lay, and to some extent
to the morals behind tho prosecu-
tions; and the failure of laws gen.
orally is not, strictly speaking,
due to the laws-it is the failure to
prosecute at all. Many potent
provisions have been permitted to
become dead letters.
Our laws, many of them, need
amendment and elaboration to coy
er variations and INNOVATIONS of
conduct; but enforcement is fur
more important than extension.
We have prohibitive laws which
will largely accomplish their pur
pose if applied; we have punish
ment which will punish, We
need prosecutors who will prose
cute impartially and fearlessly and
Judges who will bring the laws
heavy hand down upon men who
are proved guilty. Such law Gu
forcement would be an aid to in

Punishment That Furnishes.

1t is pretty generally conceded
by the lawyers and Judges of the
country that the laws, both Feder-
al and State, are, taken as a whole,
ample to cover most of the dis
honesties and irregularities com
planned of in official, commercial
and public life. There are ''anti-
trust laws' 80. called on the books,
there are laws against rebates, and
even there are laws which clothe
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion with some authority over
rates. There are punitive statutes
in plenty which provide. in theory,
ample punishment for many of the
offenses which are the subject of
reform agitation.
1t is true enough that more dras-
tic legislation is required as te
many of the topics Of present-day
discussion, and especially true that
tho punitive phase of legislation,
both national and local, needs en-
phasis. But it is not sufficiently
understood by the public at large
that the main need is not so much
new legislation as it is the enforce
ment of existing laws-and this
particularly with reference to the
punitive phase; which is to say, if
prosecutors and Judges would per-
form their full duty.with the means
at hand the curative result would
be far greater than anything which
legislation in the near future could
accomplish.
The address of the president of
the Missouri Bar Association sf-
fords an illustration of this point.
Says he: "There are simple and
sufficient remedies Mt hand for the
wholesale robbery of the policy
holders by insurance companies,
made manifest by the legislative
investigation in New York, and
there are The penitentiaries for tho
present managements and common
honesty for their SUCCESSORS. En-
force the State laws for the pun
|ishment of grand Ia, ceny and a rc-
sort to Federal legislation and ST.

HadIey's Course fndorsed.

Whatever be tho practical out
come of Attorney Generals Stan
dard Oil inquiry, it will at least ex-
pose the methods by which the
great monopoly accomplishes re-
suits.
In Missouri the Standard has
one geographical half of the State,
the Waters Pierce the other. The
Republic company occupies the en-
tire State, competing briskly with
the other two.
Moreover, two-thirds of the
Waters-Pierec profits 90 to the
Standard, and the Republic is in
vigorous condition notwithstanding
the long fight against the octopus.
These three arc one. There is
no competition. The Republic is
employed to keep out independent
companies hy making a show Of in
dependence for itself.
This much the investigation has
made clear. what else is in store is
beyond conjecture.
Publicity is the preliminary to
effective legal action. No monop-
oily has been SO subtle, SO secretive
