VICTORY FOR THE NORTHWEST

The final decision of the United
States supreme court in the Northern
Securities case. permitting the pro rata
distribution of the company's assets
according to the plan suggested by
President James ]. Hill. will please the
people of the northwest, because it re-
moves the danger of the control of the
Northern Pacific railroad falling into
the hands OF men unfriendly to the in
terests Of this section of the country.
By virtue of this decision. from
which there is no appeal Mr.. Hill has
scored complete victory over Mr..
Hartman in the latter's~ attempt to Sc
cure a distribution of stock that would
have given the Hartman crowd con-
troll of the Northern Pacific and made
that road a tail to the Union Pacific
kite. 1t cannot be denied that such an
outcome would have had an Injurious
effect upon the business interests OF
the northwest, and would have retard-
ed its development. With the Northern
Pacific ownership retained by men
whose personal interests are largely
conferred in the northwest and whose
chief aim will be to develop the trade
OF this section as against other sec
tons of the country. the people of
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana
courts approval of the mode of disso-
luton of the Northern Securities COM
pany arranged by Mr.. Hill.
This plan of distributing the assets
of the defunct corporation was mani
testify so fair and equitable that 1t did
not seem possible that it would be up
set by the courts. Even those who
were opposed to the merger scheme,
and feared il would injure the north
west-a fear that the course of events
has proved groundless-preferre to
see MIR. Hill rather than Mr.. Hartman
win in the suit that has just been de-
cided, recognizing the fact that the
northwest has had no more loyal friend
than Mr.. Hill and that great danger
lay in control of the Northern Pacific
being placed with men who are mainly
interested in the development OF an
other section of the country. The vic
tory gained by Mr. Hill is therefore
property regarded as a victory also for
the whole northwest.-Duluth Herald.

WE WANT A BIG ONE

President Hoffman of the CONNER
eial club is quite right in his .conten-
ton that st. Paul needs not only an
auditorium, but one large enough to
accommodate any gathering that is
likely to meet here. T he Globe has
sounded the note of need, declaring
that st. Paul could not afford to re-
main longer without an auditorium.
Mr.. George e. Lennon has made a gen.
erous proposition that will start the
ball rolling. Now is the time to push
through the auditorium project; and
with the push and power of the Com
mercial club behind II. it ought to be
a go.
While we are planning for this nee
essary adjunct to the city's facilities,
let us plan right. A small auditorium
seating only two or three thousand
people would be little better than MOTH
ing. We have opera houses and the
Peoples church that are available for
gatherings OF moderate size. 1t will
not be found possible to arouse the
necessary enthusiasm and to get the
necessary support for an auditorium
building unless it is such as will ac-
commodate any gathering that may
ever wish to come to st. Paul
Big plans are more likely to go
through than little ones The people
are readily attracted by schemes to do
things right, and the time has come
when st. Paul should be satisfied with
nothing second rate. This town has
been playing second fiddle long enough.
Let us get into the game, and we be-
lieve that the spirit of our people is
such that when they are appealed to
to come right to the front and stay
there they viii respond. That is the
keynote which The Globe strikes
every day in the week. Mr. Hoffman
strikes it vigorously. 1t should direct
the march of the auditorium project.

as indefensible. 1t is, as we have
pointed out before, absolutely one
sided. The sole point of validity in it
is its agreement that the city shall

self gains and can gain nothing. The
street railway company, should the
time for repeal expire without ac-
ton, has gained everything. 1t can
then claim that all the rights between
it and the people have been adjudf--
Gated; that no further appeal can be
made to higher court; that the city
of st. Paul is bound on it's side for ali
time, and that the company on its side
is obliged to do nothing
The way out is to order the corpora
ton counsel to proceed Immediately to
appeal the case decided by Judge Loch-
rem to the supreme court of the United
States. Such action the council is at
liberty to take. BY resembling its error
of last week and declaring that the suit
must be pressed, it will not only per-
form its duty, but viii do the only
thing that can be done to secure to our
people one single vestige of their rights
as opposed to the supreme control of
the street railway. This is the key Of
the whole problem.

president has already put himself COM
pletely in the wrong. according to the
practically unanimous opinion OF all
the people of both parties. by his atti-
tude when the arbitration treaties were
under debate. 1t is equally true that he
has exceeded his prerogative In the
Santo Domingo affair. Clearly. the tax
ing charge of a custom house ia an
other country might be construed as
an act Of war, and no such liberty Of
action should be left to the executive
without participation by the legislative
department. These are questions which
should be gone into thoroughly, So
berly and without the slightest thought
of their bearing or effect upon parties.
We are not greatly enamored OF the
United States senate but in this case
it is not merely upholding it's own priv
ileges but serving the country and de-
Tending the constitution.

THESE HATCH MISCHIEF

VenezueIans at WilIemstad Frame Up

March S.-Curacao is the sunglass through
which the heat of the revolutionary move
ment is being directed upon Venezuela.
sixty miles south of this little Dutch
island, so long the home of Venezuelan
refugees. Two OF President Castro's most
feared enemies are living here now and
crowds of political exiles meet every yes
sci from the south in the hope of hear
ing that the United States has resorted to
arms in enforcing its demands upon the
Venezuelan government and thus make it
possible for his enemies to organize a
revolution OF sufficient strength to over
throw him. The two Venezuelan gener-
ais living here are Gregario S. Riera and
Juan Pablo Penalosa. These and Gen.
Manuel A Matos. who is in Colombia and
who led the Matos revolution two years
ago. are regarded as the strongest of Cas-
tro's enemies.
President Castro is said to have mount
ed French guns at Porto Cabello and La
Guaira within the last six weeks Gen
Riera is said to have the support OF a
large force at CorO, which will assist him
as soon as affairs at Caracas come to a
head. IL is rumored that Riera is oper-
ating with other leaders at Caracas. who

NOT A POLITICAL QUESTION

The United States senate is wise i'm
trying TO. keep the Santo Domingo
treaty out of politics. 1t will prove.
however, difficult task This treaty
should be considered upon its merits
on two main grounds. First, it marks
a notable departure from our previous
policy, and carries with it an interpre-
tation of the Monroe doctrine new to
our people and fraught with serious
consequences for the future Second.
it involves the question of the relative
rights Of the executive and the senate
in the exercise of the treaty making
power. Both these grave questions
should be settled on lines Of broad
general policy, without reference to
party relations.
T h e Clio b e has already expressed
Its opinion fully; speaking not only as
a Democrat, but first as representa-
tive of public opinion and in behalf of
safe constitutional government. 1t does
not believe that the United States
should assume the role of an interna-
tional collection agency. The money
sharks Of Europe, who have bought the
bonds Of South American governments
from dictators and other adventurerrss
at a few cents on the dollar. should he
left to stew in the broth of their own
difficulties. 1t is dirty business for
US to take possession Of custom houses
and run foreign and friendly govern
ments for the benefit of such creditors
Every solvent government on this con-
tinent will resent such interference.
and every insolvent government be
GLAD to bolster its fallen credit by re-
ferring to US as its guarantor. The
policy is economically wrong. 1t is a
bit of that incessant dabbling in other
peoples affairs which is SO new and So,
obnoxious feature in our national
life IL is the very antithesis and re-
versal Of the doctrines laid down in
Washingten's farewell address.

any respect a greater president than

Gracious Act Of CONGRESS

The national house Of representa-

the way OF condoning anarchist murder
in Russia. This refusal was not due
TO any regard for Russia or the Rus
sian government. It was due solely TO
respect OF humanity and civilization
Wen prisoners in war and assassins
in politics are beyond the pale. Even
the theoretical anarchist, who is not
unknown in Chicago, must reckon with
this. Congress simply recognizes the
fact. There. is a tomb in Canton TO
enforce the lesson that the hand or
anarchy smites goodness and great
ness as murderously as il smites evil
and oppression. The national house
OF representatives recalled this fact,
too. Its course should give pause to all
who think that any nation can today
countenance with impunity the act OF
the anarchist assassin. We Americans
have suffered once. Do we SO soon
forget?-Chicago Inter Ocean.
