WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
States Held Responsible for Existence
of Corporate Wrongs.
Waahfppton Post


The responsibility for most of the
wrongs with which corporations are
charged, and OF which, as events have
shown. they are actually guilty, rests
primarily and chiefly with the states Had
the states been faithful in the exercise
Of their reserved powers, had they domi-
mated instead of being dominated by the
corporations, the public would not have
been preyed upon by railroad corporations.
by the coal combine. the Standard Oil
trust the meat packers, or any other COM
bination in restraint of trade. Many states
have been guilty of worse than mere neg
lect of duty, because their people have
elected and reelected year after year legis-
lators who desired and used their positions
for personal profit by dishonest relations
with corporations. If the corporations did
not make the first advance by asking legis-
lation at the hands OF these corruptionists,
they would threaten them with legislation
lnimical to corporation interests. Not
many years ago a bill was put through
the Illinois legislature which, according
TO the most reliable authority, cost trac-
ton interests In Chicago about a million
dollars. 1t was not only put through both
houses, but It was signed by the governor.
The law thus enacted was not carried
into effect, for the reason that the people
of Chicago convinced the aldermen of that
city that their personal safety would be
jeOpardized by any action on their part
that would permit the corporations that
bribed the legislators 10 pass the act TO
get the benefit OF their purchase. The
world knows that for many years the
legislature Of Missouri was an open mar
ket for the sale OF legislative favors. or
New York a scarcely less discreditable
story has become history. As to Pennsyl-
vania, Il may be said that, for most OF
the time during the past sixty years,
the people have held second place in legisla-
tive consideration. And something akin to
that is true as TO several other states.
II the reserved powers Of the state had
been faithfully employed there would have
been comparatively little necessity for con-
gress TO assert power that had lain dor
mant for almost a century-the power 10
regulate commerce between the states.
The interstate commerce act OF 1887 was
the first general attempt 10 make use OF
that ninety-eight- year-old authority. And
the court Of last resort devoted much Of
us tine for several years 10 trimming that
act down 10 constitutional limitations.
Such may be the destiny Of other acts
intended 10 utilize that authorization.

ARTHUR PUE GORMAN.

The death of Arthur Pue German re-
moves a forceful factor from the field
of public life. Whatever view or preju-
dice may exist as to his character. 1t
will not be disputed that for a score
of years he was one of the command
ing figures in the senate. with an in
fiuence reaching far out upon politics
and general affairs.
Like most strong men Senator Cor
man had many enemies and like all
masterful party leaders and managers
he was the subject of unceasing criti-
cism. How much of the criticism was
indiscriminate, mistaken or vengeful,
it is not possible yet to- judge, but
hiJ death has instantly caused con
temporaries who, knew him and his
work best, and many OF whom we're his
antagonists, to emphasize many traits
and virtues which in the heat of parti-
san or fractional controversy were pop
ularly at least not so well understood.
No small part of his success as a leader
~ SOhBACoo anu III NlC 6lCdI pOllllGdl
party with which he had lifelong iden-
tihcation was due to the friendships
which his amiable and winning per-
sonality drew to him.
Senator German belonged to a group
of powerful leaders in both the great
political parties whose influence upon
the course of events has been so
marked during the last two or three
decades. Many of them have now
passed away and the tendency of the
times favors leadership of a different
type. Senator Germans influence had
shown signs of waning for several
years, and indeed he never regained
the prestige he had at the time of his
memorable break with President Cleve-
| land.

RAILROAp EVOLUTION.
Ancient Ideas of Personal Property
HOpelesSIy Shattered.
Philadelphia Press

fnliauelpnla FTeSs.
Thirty and forty years ago men like Cor
nelius Vanderbilt. in New York. Robert
s. Garrett OF Baltimore and Mr.. Chaplin. In
Massachusetts, treated as II they were per-
sonal property the railroads in which they
owned a controlling interest Of the stock
personally. in their own right.
Twenty and twenty-five years ago. when
these and other lines went into the hands
of corporations, the president, the directors
and the officers of these corporations
treated the railroad as If 1t was the sole
and exclusive property of the corporation
The railroad today has reached its second
stage of evolution. It's directors and Its
officers are being brought under a direct
public responsibility as immediate, as con-
spicuous and as we'll established as that Of
a public official.
What was done as a matter Of course
by the men who had begun with the stage
coach period and looked on the railroad
as a sort Of enlarged stage coach, which
they could drive at will, became impos-
sible when the corporation came.
What has been done under the corpora
ton without question has become impos-
sible under present conditions. Railroad
officers must accommodate themselves TO
the change. Many will suffer. Some men
will be punished and have already been
punished by publicity for things which no
one looked upon as wrong when they did
them. But this is Inevitable 1t has gone
on before the public in the last year in
insurance. II is going on now in railroads.

The desperation to which the sore
head "antis" are driven in their frenzy
to beat Edward Rosewater for senator
is best shown by the tactics to which
they are resorting. Knowing in ad-
vance that they cannot win out in any
fair fight, they are trying to get Jug
gled primary ballot. with view to
DISTINGUISHING a majority of the repub-
lican voters of Douglas county by COM
polling them to pick out of long list
2O1 names of delegates and mark them
with 201 separate crosses.
The disastrous consequences of such
a course does not phase these political
wreckers. A ballot such as they are
demanding would make it absolutely
impossible for Douglas county repub-
licans ever to get solid delegation in
any convention in the future-state,
congressional or iudicial-except by
unanimous consent With the GER
tainty of a split delegation in every
convention, Douglas county would be
practically ruled of the political map
and would never get any recognition
in the way of nominations or honors
beyond such crumbs as the rest of the
state were willing to give 1t.
The present primary law applies to
Douglas county only. 1t was spon-
sored by the anti" members of the
last legislature and enacted at their
request. The legislature consists of
1913 members. of which only twelve
come from this county, SO that It is
easy to see what would happen II we
fenced ourselves out of all conventions.
No legislature would ever consent to
amend or modify the law to put Doug
las county on the map again, and the
result would be that the outside coun-
ties would do all the business In state,
congressional and judicial conventions,
leaving Douglas county republicans to
look on as spectators on the bleachers.
OF course a little thing like this does
not bother the anything to- beat Rose
water" crowd. To gain their point
now they would be glad to abdicate
Douglas county's participation in state
politics for all future time.

Dwellers of fats in Washington are re-

they are provided with rubber necks also.
II is estimated by Wall street
authority that Rockefellers Standard OIL
stock brings him in nearly $4,000 for
every business day in the year.
Gaillard Hunt, the chief of the Pass
port bureau, says he never was as busy
as at present, and estimates that his de-
partment this year will issue between
10000 and $4,000 passports.
Senators Tillman, Elkins and Cullom.
the senate conferees on the rate bill, had
meeting 10 discuss procedure and all
that. 81 suggest" said Tillman, that a
disinterested bystander be appointed to
search us for guns"
General Bingham, police commissioner
of New York, In reply to a reporters ques-
ton, acknowledged that he had been
offered brides a good many times-more
than he could count He was asked II
there WAS any truth in the story that
prominent gambler had sent him a box of
cigars under the lid of which was a
brand new $1,000 bill The commits
sioner said It wasn't exactly that way,
but there was some foundation for the

TIE oREeoN ELECTION.

The returns from the Oregon election
are worthy OF the attention OF repub-
Leans in every state, for they indicate
the necessity of special care in the Sc
lection OF party candidates this year.
The democrat candidate for governor,
who two years ago just managed to
pull through notwithstanding the
Roosevelt plurality of 42.934 at the
same time. is reelected by an in
creased vote. and there has been an
arduous struggle in the congressional
districts in spite of the fact that the
republicans put forward what we're
considered their strongest candidates.
This election is only one among a
multitude OF signs that the coming
campaign and election will not be per-
functory and that 1t is not safe for
republicans to rest upon the mere fact
Of the immense Roosevelt majority two
years ago The wave that swept over
the country did not represent ver-
dict on mere traditional party divi-
sions, but, on the contrary, pop
ular sentiment wiping out those dis
tinctions because 1t found in Theodore
Roosevelt and his program the answer
and reflection of its desires and pur-
poses.
The Oregon republicans, although
they have had a solid congressional
