Prosecution Of Trusts.

To proceed against the trusts as
criminal organizations is said to be
possible part of the Administration
plan
Public faith in the intention of the
Administration TO correct the trust
evil is firm. There is a general belief
that whatever shall be done VIII be
done in the interests OF justice, not
with view to hampering any Iegiti-
mate enterprise. When there has
been demonstration that trust is
criminal, that defiance of the law is
q part of its system of operation. it
IS not plain how there could be effec-
tive attack not based upon these facts.
The way to prosecute a criminal is
to prosecute him as a criminal If
the criminal organization, made up OF
different individual offenders, stands
on any other plane, the failure to see
it will be general.
Take such a combination as the
Beef trust as an instance 1t would
not care for fines. It could pay fines
as often as, the court chose to impose
them, and raise prices so that the
public really would pay the fines.
But were the men who are guilty,
provided. OF course, that such there
are, hailed to the bar and given a
sentence OF Imprisonment, the public
would not have the burden to bear.
striped suit would quickly recognize
the error of his ways.
The Government seems to be prov
ing that some of the trusts are as
directly criminal as highwaymen or
burglars. What's the use OF proving
all this if nothing is to be done about
it? The mere revelation of trust
iniquity is neither a surprise nor in
itself measure of reform.

Suppress the LadTones.

Renewed reports come of outrages
by the ladrones in the Philippines.
Under the circumstances there is no
duty palmer than the suppression of
these people. Reformers may cry out.
and probably will, that the Iadrones
are in quest Of freedom and ought to
have it. Others will recognize the
truth that these creatures are not fit
for freedom, and that the sooner they
shall be subdued, even If this means
the killing of them, the better. Lately
the 1adrones have been hamstringiDe
the natives friendly to Americans. or
cutting off their lips. The fact that
they do such things shows that liberty
would mean to them nothing but a
chance of giving rein to cruel passion.
In theory every man is entitled to
liberty, but in practice a proportion of
the race deserves to be shot, hanged,
or otherwise rendered incapable of
harm.
The task of caring for the Philip
pines has been undertaken, and there
is no way of turning back even if such
were the desire. The Apaches years
ago used to conduct themselves in a
ladrone style, and there was no regret
when they were forced to quit it.
