pARkER,s IRRELEVANr REPLY.

Judge Parker's reply utterly misses
the point made by Secretary Taft when
the latter claimed credit for the
Roosevelt administration on the score
of progressive anti-corporation legis
lation and the enforcement of the laws
and succeeds only in showing how far
he is out of touch with dominant pub
lie sentiment. Nothing, indeed, could
be more irrelevant than his assertion
that mot one of the prosecutions to
which the existing administration is
now entitled to credit Is based on any
new statute" as an argument against
the efficacy of the new legislation for
eurbing corporations. or against the
wisdom and necessity OF providing
moderniEed legal weapons for the use
of public authority.
It-is a waste OF time to split hairs
on a point which Is settled in the
deliberate and profound conviction of
the American people, and which was
in fact established and certified by the
overwhelming defeat of Judge Parker
as the democratic presidential candi-
date two years ago. For he then de-
clared in a notable campaign pronun-
ciamento that the common law pro-
vided suficient remedies against the
abuses OF concentrated wealth in the
form of corporations. trusts and COM
binations. That declaration was re-
garded as an appeal ror the support
OF the very corporation interests which
were hostile to the positive stand oi
President Roosevelt for enforcement
Of the then existing law, common and
statute. aud for additional statutes tc
meet the new conditions OF corporation
injustice and monopoly with whici
executive authority has TO deal.
Judge Parker, II he could see thingi
as they are, had his answer long age
In the election returns which made
Theodore Roosevelt president by th'
most emphatic vote ever cast in a ma
tional election and In the resistles
popular demand which has moved con
gress 10 enact into stronger law tn,
policy for which the president stooC

lative struggle to bring about this re

Right on the heels of the reputation Of
Mr.. Bryan by Tammas Tibbles comes the
story that the austere tribune OF Dedham
has refused to serve on the reception COM
mittee and is sulking in his tent. As the
grand old man OF the popullsts, Mr., Flb-
bles was not expected to leave his reserva-
tion to welcome Mr.. Bryan; but George
Fred Williams has been the personal rep
resentative of the peerless In Massachu-
setts so long that the news of his disaffec-
tion would unman Mr. Bryan and perhaps
shake him in his resolution TO be safe and
sane. The conservatism of the great Amer
lean traveller and his commerce with
crowned heads embittered Tibbles. and Will
liams, It is whispered, has been alenated
by his faltering on the road to govern
ment ownership. But Mr. Bryan may have
been misrepOrted from the Winter palace
and Trondhjem, His radical friends will
find no sea change in him when his feet q re
planted on his native heath and he must

THE MEAr INspEorroy pRoGRAM.

THE MEAT INSPECIION PhOGRAA-
II any doubt had been entertained in
any quarter, Secretary Wilson by his
work and declarations during his
three days stay in Chicago has made it
absolutely certain that the new meat
inspection law will be vigorously en-
forced. OF this there is ominous en-
phasis in the notice given In conelu-
sion that those establishments only
which are in proper sanitary condition
by August will be given inspection,
This notice is of course equivalent
to a decree that all packing houses
which do not by that time comply
strictly with the new law and the reg
ulations prescribed under II by the
Department of Agriculture will be cut
of from the market in other states
and In foreign countries. The power
conferred on the department as to
sanitary requirements is OF the am
plest character, and as not a pound of
meat products can be legally received
for shipment by any interstate carrier
unless it bears the government in
spection stamp the department is In
position to insist on its terms.
II is difficult to imagine a more
forcible illustration of the farreaehing
indirect power of the national govern
ment, since 1t has no direct cOnstitu-
tional authority for local sanitary and
police regulation. Yet, practically,
the national jurisdiction is plenary
with respect to all those great pack
ing Industries which must perforee de-
pend on the markets of other states
and foreign countries. Only the
smaller concerns can escape national
supervision, and the public is In some
measure protected against their prod
uets II they are not inspected and
properly branded.

The United States district court at
Chicago, by overruling the application
for a new trial of the Chicago & Alton
Railroad company and two of its chief

law of granting rebates. sweeps away

AS in the Burlington cases, so in the
Alton cases fines of $4,000 against
the company and of $4,000 against
each of the indicted oficials render
rebating a dangerous and costly bust
ness to the offenders. Now that the
courts are refusing to be diverted
from the main point by evasive rebate
devices on which to base technical de-
fences, the carriers are confronted by
the stern but salutary fact that 1t is
pore profitable, as a pure matter oi
business, to observe the law in good
faith, and stand for equal shippers

OTHER LANDS THAN ours.

Germany is enjoying a period Of wonder
ful prosperity. The percentage Of unein-
ployed in the empire is low. The revenues
derived from the income tax are greater
than ever before The deposits in the
savings banks, representing the surplus
earnings Of the working and middle classes,
have reached S2.75OOoo.OOO in the last
twenty-five years. German capitalists have
invested large sums in foreign enterprises.
The foreign commerce Of the nation is
already great and constantly growing. At
the time OF the war between China and
Japan the annual tonnage Of German ses-
sells engaged in the. eastern trade was
25OOOO whereas now It is $4,000
Explaining the progress the German EN-
pire has made i'm the last quarter century,
Dr. Louis Elkind in an article i'm the
Forntightly Review, declares that the de-
velopment Of patriotism in the individual
has been the most important factor. Its
influence cannot be measured by foot
rule or expressed in statistical form, but
its effect has been to bring the people of
the nation together into "hrm and united
organization" the activity of one class
reacting favorably on the others, and the
| substitution of national feeling for local
| pride has resulted in the development Of
high ambition for the whole country. In
Dr. Elkinds opinion the industrial and
agricultural classes are not seriously sep
hrated in their aims, but work together
each assisting the other as far as possi-
be," because they know it is for their
common advantage that Germany should
flourish, both industrially and agricul-
| turally."
