PURCHASING RAILROAD FAVOR.
Morals of the Rake-OH as Recently
Exploited.
New York Tribune

New York Tribune.
1t may be true, as Vice President Green
OF the Pennsylvania railroad says, that a
few years ago it was considered perfectly
proper for railroad official to own stock
in coal mines. We have gone through a
period of business lawlessness, in which
corporation officers forgot, and the public
allowed them to forget, their functions as
trustees, and railroad presidents thought
of their positions merely as places to be
used to their own advantage and the rail-
roads as private properties, to be made
instruments Of their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT
That was the age OF wholesale rebates and
Of personal warfare between railway mag
mates. with incidental railroad wrecking.
The sense has been only slowly developed
In this country that railroad Is COM
mon carrier and that the manager owes a
public duty to every shipper, is bound to
fairness like Judge on the bench and is
not at liberty to use. his power over trans
portation to enrich himself, as II the road
were q private enterprise 1t is this lack
Of distinction between public trusteeship
and private property right that is RESPONSE
BILE for the rakeofr coal mining profits
which influential officials of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad have enjoyed.
That rakeoff we think, is utterly indie
fensible in the light Of present day moral
standards and present day legal obliga-
lions OF common carriers. The hard
headed owners OF coal mines did not give
away hundreds Of thousands OF dollars
worth of their property as a pledge of
love and affection. They gave the stock up
because they thought it a necessary step
in carrying on business. They gave 1t up
to railroad men on whom they depended
for cars. Without cars and general fair
treatment from the railroads their mines
were useless. The, railroad men were In
absolute possession of the key to mining
success. Their duty was to treat all alike.
Instead. they favored those who purchased
their favor. II they had been private shop
keepers, free to serve or to refuse to
serve, as they pleased, II might have been
all right for them 10 force those they dealt
with TO such terms as they could. But
they were not private shopkeepers. They
were public trustees, and they were not
selling their private aid to a coal miner,
but their oficial action Perhaps they did
not realize IL, but the public has come to
a keener sense OF the duty to the public
and semi-pubhc functionaries. and the
/ sooner the railroad managers accept and

/ them Tie people are no longer disposed

are not disposed 10 blame over-much those
/ who are at once benehciaries and the VIC
/ tins OF an old abuse, but the outworn sys-
tenn must give way to higher standards OF
trusteeship and equality Of business OPP

The president in his Memorial Day
address at Portsmouth htly emphs-
sizes the fact that military service in
our country is voluntary. This feat.
ure. standing out in such marked con-
trsSt with nearly every other nation
in the world, is typical and well-nigh
essential to our Americas view OF the
citizens duty and the function Of the
state. From the frst, in all our from
tier wars. in the revolutionary strug-
gle OF '76 and the foreign and domes-'
tic wars since then. military service
has been merely the citizen volun-
tarily in arms for government which
represents the will of the people. He
has appeared with the musket pre-
clsely as with the ballot to represent
and protect his own interests, and not
as the forced agent of a superior ar
bitrary authority.
Though we recognize the inherent
necessity of a regular military estab-
lishment, voluntary service is main
tanned as fundamental principle,
even as to that. The difficulty of dis
ciplining and rendering effective a
great force of citizen soldiery rising
in emergency to arms and the time
required are such that a regular army
is indispensable as a model and a
nucleus for organization. as we'll as
for contingencies that have to be sud
denly met. But we rigidly restrict the
regular military arm of the govern
ment to the limit of the EXTREMIST
need, depending upon the zeal and
patriotism of the average citizen to
supplement it in time of national peril
and that dependence has never proved
fallaeious
The achievement of national unity
In the civil war as of independence in
the revolution is the glory of duty vol
UNFAIRLY performed. A military SER
vice developed from and inspired by
this principle is a safeguard rather
than a menace to liberty, and should
make the soldier a better citizen as he
passes into civil life. 1t is the very
reverse of militarism insofar as that
term implies in compatibility with
democratic institutions.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

The prospects seem good, at least
for the present. that the new mayor
and council will be at loggerhesds on
most important propositions, notwith-
standing the fact that they profess the
same political faith and were elected
at the recent election on the same
ticket
Ordinarily it would be unfortunate
for the city to undergo constant con-
tention in the city hall, but IL the d.
ell results simply in letting things
alone and preventing radical changes
the people generally will have no
cause to complain. When they come
to look back they will discover that
although some things may not have
been just as a few would have wished,
the management of municipal affairs
under the late Mayor Moores and
whole to the desires of the great ma
jority and that the business of the city
was conducted on a scale of reasonable
efficiency and economy.
The new administration has the ad-
vantage of the good record made by
Mayor Moores in the independent po-
sition he held with reference to the
franchised corporations and public
works contractors. and the broad
views that animated him in dealing
with the various problems of the city
government as they arose. If the
present mayor and council either to-
gether or apart hold to the lines laid
down in the general policy of the pre-
ceding republican mayor they will &C
complish more than is expected of
them.

CRIMINAL LAW EVAsIoNs.

Governor Higgins veto of bills
passed by the New York legislature,
complicating and protracting proceed
ings in criminal cases. is based on a
principle whose application would
remedy crying abuses in every state
in the union. Instead of extending
the protection of the law to criminals
by multiplied delays, appeals, techni-
calities and evasions, the penal code
should be simplifed and greatly re-
stricted in those respects.
The Patrick murder case, for which
the vetoed bills were obviously de-
signed to create new opportunities to
evade the consequences of the crime,
became long ago a scandal Patrick,
himself a skillful lawyer, was duly
convicted six years ago of deliberately
numbering by poison his own CLIENT a
wealthy old man. for the purpose of
robblng his estate, the crime being a
diabolical compound OF, forgery, per-
jury, theft, cold-blooded murder and
betrayal of professional trust. Yet
it has been found impossible to exc
cute the penalty of the law. so in
geniously has the felon manipulated
the legal facilities for evasion and de-
lay, and when all existing resources
had been exhausted a legislature was
found ready to create new ones.
