AEW ST4ADARDN-

Anybody who recalls the attitude of railroad
managers toward public criticism of established
methods even less than year ago will find a
great deal of significance in the statement of
Nlce-President Thayer Of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on Thursday. He said thar in his opin-
Ion the time had come when railroads sbould
moi hold stocks in coal companies and similar
corporations, but should confne themselves
strictly 20 the business Of transportation
What railroad manager would have said that
year agog At the time Of the great coal strike
the relations between the railroads and The
mine operators were much discussed bu- The
railroad presidents strenuOusly insisted that the
connection was a perfectly legitimate one. and
SraNely censured those who took a contrary
view as more OF less the fomenters Of anarchy
MOST railroad managers we suppose have con
sdered the proceedings which have be.U goin q,
on In the United States courts 10 urever+ thorn
from giving special favors in the way OF ratas
or cars as persecution. Some Of them have de-
nounced the President as a mischief maker
running amuck and as a dangerous radical
'ghorahtly interfering with the legitimate bust
hess OF the country But il seems that the radi-
calsm OF yesterday is The conservatism Of
to-day, and the legal and moral standards ,,hicl,

pURE FOOD DEMONSTRATION.

Representative Manu. of Illinois, is a great
success as a pure food demonstration. His illus
trated lecture before the House of Representa-
tives on Thursday was most useful, for it con-
centrated attention on a state OF facts In which
persons outside the halls of Congress have for
years been seeking TO awaken Congressional
interest. DR.. Wiley, of the Department of Ag
riculture, has been making analyses of food
products and publishing them, so far as the
adulteratOrs would allow. But even denuncia-
ton of particular articles by name, when hid
den away IN a government report, did not have
much effect on the consuming public, which
does not read government reports. Mr.. Manns
account of pepper berries made of tapioca, of
cherries, picked green. bleached with acid and
colOred with aniline; of rotten eggs manipulated
into confectionery, will not only bring the sub
ject of pure food home to otherwise inattentive
per6oas, but will likewise shake the Indifference
of Congressman who are accustomed TO pass
lightly over abuses of this kind.
A good pure food bill will not be easily
passed, in spite of the apparently strong tide in
ifs favor Only extreme watchfulness against
tricks and emasculating amendments will
cure an effective law. The counterfeiters are
organized and powerful. They are not mildly
aroused by principle or sentiment or philan-
thrOpy. They are in deadly earnest to protect
their vested right TO defraud their customers
Special watchfulness is needed to see that the
sale of articles containing morphine, cocaine
and similar drugs is forbidden, except under
plain labels announcing their presence. That
prohibition will be lost in the shuttle if clever
manipulation can accomplish it
This movement to protect the people against
fraud is not an attack on any legitimate busi-
ness. 1t is not even an attack on chemical fab
relations of food as such. It is merely a de-
mand that goods shall be what they pretend to
be, and that the man, for instance who pays
for honey shall not receive glucose with a bee
stuck in it TO make the cheat more plausible.
Against such a movement what possible Obiec-
ton can be urged by anybody who is not ready
openly to announce himself the champion of
fraud and falSeh0od?

MR. TPIPLER AND LIQUID AIR.

The death of Mr.. Charles L. Tripler this week
will remind a great many persons of the re-
markabie experiments which he conducted in
this city before small companies Of possible in
Nestors, and Of the eXtrayagant hopes which
his work aroused. Burning a steel wire mere

David Relasco's theatre. The announcement was
made by Mr.. Belasco last night. He Will call his
new theatre the Stuyvesant. IN honor OF the Dutch
Governor.
"Somebody'n tell you he had only one leg TO
stand on" remarked a friend to Mr.. Belasco last
night.
But he bossed New Amsterdam. said the inde-
pendent manager glancing across 42d street toward
the house beautiful of his rivals and ''nil'ns
quietly at his joke.
The Stuyvesant will not be ready for use till tne
fall of 1907. II will be a small house. seating only
400 people and fitted up IN accordance with MI.

Kester is the architect. The stage will be equipped

Mr. Relasco said last night that the house Would

Of the state, without natural rights and with
absolutely no power beyond that specifically

railroads il is also TO be noted that the law re-

price is yet practically prohibitory. That is
the principal reason why liquid air is not adapt
ed TO propeIling automobiles. Gasolene and
electricity are vastly cheaper sources of power.
Still another hope which has been entertained
concerning this remarkable substance is that II
may furnish a method of manufacturing oxygen
less expensive than any other. Nitrogen Is
little more volatile than the other gas with
which it is associated in the atmosphere. When
the compound has been liquefed the nitrogen
shows a disposition TO evapOrate first. How
fully the propensity can be turned TO account is
yet uncertain, hut the idea is full of promise.
Disappointing as liquid air has been in some
ways therefore, il is not likely to prove utterly
without value.

BREWERS As noYoPoLIsTs.

The brewers of this state. who have long en-
gagged in the practice of booming trade by set
ting salOOnkeepers up in business to deal exclu-
sively in their products, may not unproftably
cast an eye over into Massachusetts and see
how the law of that commonwealth Is being
construed with respect to their brethren in the
trade. The Massachusetts Supreme Court re-
Gently upheld in a tobacco trust case state
law which is now being applied TO the brewers
AS result the MiddleseX Grand Jury has in
dicted the Harvard Brewing Company of Cam
bridge. The company is charged with making
contracts with saloonkeepers by which they
are restricted TO selling only the beers and
ales produced by the Harvard company. This
Is said TO be an attempt TO create a monopoly
in violation of the antitrust laws
The laws against monOpolies everywhere are
founded this principle, and If the practice
complained of is illegal in Massachusetts the
chances are that it is likewise illegal IN New
York. 1t is we'll known that the liquor dealers
are often scarcely more than agents of brewers.
The law may compel them to take licenses and
act as independent business men, but their capt.
tai Is furnished by the brewers, who have chat
tel mortgages on their fixtures. and each is ex-
pected TO make market for his bac1ers goods
This system is injurious, not merely because ii
fosters monopoly, but also and chiefly because
1t establishes more drinking places than the
community would naturally support and arti-
ticially forces consumption. These subsidized
dealers, who often established close beside
others 10 divide their trade have difficulty i'm
selling the required amount of their patrons
goods in legal hours and are under great
