OF Justice. This view Is supported by
Mr.. HADLRY's opinion that no further
legislation Is necessary and that the
trusts, II unlawfully conducted, can be
made to convict themselves.
The view finds further support in the
recent experience in the beef cases.
Had Mr.. GARFIELD done his work as an
agent Of the Department OF Justice In
stead Of as an alleged statistician obtain
ing information to be used only as q
basis for Executive recommendations, a
serious muddle and q large and now
useless expense might have been avoided.
To the study Of the business methods
employed by huge commercial and In
dustrial organizations there can be no
objection, but that Is work for men
trained in business life, and not for
enthusiastic young lawyers with a mania
for Federal control of corporations.
We already have a very considerable
bundle of laws for the regulation OF
trusts. From time to time they are
brought forth for exercise. Mr.. HAD
LEY evidently regards them as intended
and suitable for daily use and declares
that If they are not used it is the fault
of Officials who fail to see to their
enforcement"
This looks very much like sound doc
trine, even II it does rob the Bureau OF
Corporations of a much cherished and
se%lf-imposed function. Under the en-
aiding act the duties of the bureau are
a non-judicid gathering Of information
and compilation Of statistics. Trust
busting" Is a job for the courts.

II All Our Pacific Coast Ships Go
What Then?

Japan's shipping is the most heavily
subsidized in the world. The shipbuild-
ing bounties range from eight to twelve
dollars a ton for every ship built in
japan. There is also q subsidy for
every hundred miles sailed at sea. The
result is that Japan's merchant marine
increased from 100, 900 tons In 1890 to
$50, 900 tons In 1904. 1t is considerably
larger now. 1t has more ships a1oat
in foreign commerce than has the
United States, and it's foreign commerce
increased from Sill ,0O0, 900 in 1904 to
s342, 0OO, 900 in 1904.
The lesson for us is obvious.
Further: 1t is an open secret that
Japan has an option on the American
if the Ship Subsidy bill fails; also that
she is bidding for our Pacific Mail line.
The owners of the line from Puget Sound
to Hawaii declare that they must with
draw their ships if the bill fails. We
should then be without ships on the
Pacific. If trouble arises in China or in
the Philippines, or American interests
anywhere in the Orient are imperilled,
where will our navy get it's Golfers or
our army its transports?
In such a case would the Germans,
English, Japanese or French be willing
to carry our troops and supplies, yer
though, as some say, it pays us now to
let the vessels of those countries carry
the Pacifc-Orient which we
are building up against the present
strenuous opposition?
Merchant ships are navy aids, but they
take time to build. It's folly, as we
realized in 1898, to wait till Il war is on
before we get them. As Mr.. BuRRILL
says, I'VE cannot, even with our tre-
mendous resources, SOW a bunch Of steel
plates at night and reap an auxiliary
navy Of fully manned and equipped
vessels the following day"
The moral there also is obvious.

differentiation Of original Jurisdiction
as between the one Supreme Court es-
tablished by the Constitution and such
inferior courts as the Congress may,
from time to time, ordain and establish
was based on the supposition that the
inferior courts which Congress was
empowered to create would in fact be
created; and, inferentially, that they
would be equipped with the full judicial
power necessary for the exercise OF their
original jurisdiction.
8. The Supreme Court itself was the
only one imperatively called for by the
Constitution. If Congress had long de-
layed the establishment Of the inferior
courts which 1t was empowered to create
with certain jurisdiction assigned to
them in advance, all judicial powers
necessary for the protection of the citi-
zen's constitutional rights must have
been exercised meanwhile by the SUI
preme Court, directly and originally.
L.. That would still be the case if Con-
gress for some reason had failed until the
present time to ordain and establish
these inferior courts.
5. The same thing would become true
in the improbable but conceivable event
of Congress repeating all the laws Great
ing the inferior courts. The Supreme
Court would stand alone as the entire
judicial department of the Government.
All of its Jurisdiction would become
original, there being no court from which
to appeal to it. All judicial powers
necessary for the protection Of the citi-
zen's constitutional right not to be de-
prived Of property without due process
Of law-that Is, not to be deprived by
legislative or executive process merely
would be exercised by the Supreme
Court directly.
O.. Now, If In the case OF the inferior
courts that judicial power Of preventive
relief essential to the protection of the
citizen in his unquestioned constitutional
right Is destroyed by act Of Congress,
it is not annihilated unless the Constitu-
ton be overthrown. Where does 1t then
abide, if not in the Supreme Court, the
one judicial body indestructible by
Congress?
7. Moreover, II the Supreme Court
should 30 decide, on a question entirely
different from that which was raised in
the cited case of MARBURY versus MADI-
SON, what authority could override its
decision, or restrict it's jurisdiction, or
limit the judicial powers thus assumed
and exercised by it?
We offer the foregoing propositions
not in the way of assertion, but to Offset
in some measure the remarkable doc
trine set up by Senator BAILEY and COM
bated so ably by Senator SPooNER. 1t
seems to us a notable and dangerous
thing that any Senator Of the United
States should seek to strengthen an
administrative body by the deliberate
destruction Of judicial power.

Mayor and Flag.

In a letter which THE Sun prints to-
day Mayor CARLTON MCCARTHY Of Rich
mond explains the deplorable circum-
stances that twisted an eminently proper
and creditable public speech delivered
by him into an apparent declaration OF
hostility to the American flag and the
national Government for which it stands.
| 1t Is unfortunate that errors OF reporting
should have put Mr.. MCCARTHY in a
| false light. but his disclaimer is so good
| natured, so wholesome in its tone, and
SO frank and engaging, that it will COM
pletely reestablish his fame as an intel
| ligent, progressive and patriotic citizen.
No permanent injury will be done to
his reputation as a modern citizen by the
incorrect summary of his speech that was
made public last week,
From Mr.. MoCARTHY's letter 1t is evil
| dent that he Is one who, while t~reasuring
In heart and mind the memories OF the
past, with its heroic hopes and unfulflled
ambitions, lives for the Southland OF the
present, working and planning for the rich
future, with its promise OF plenty and
peace. 1t is the men Of his stamp that
are building up the new ~South-the South
OF diversified industrial activities, of
great commercial accomplishment, and
Of unfaltering devotion to the national
welfare.
To Mayor MCCARTHY The sun offers
its most respectful salutations. Long
may he continue to teach the lessons of
sound Americanism, good humor and
enterprise to his fellow citizens in Rich
mond, In Virginia and In the United
States Of America, under the protecting
and inspiring banner OF the Stars and
Stripes.

Mr.. FREsHFIELD, the British mountaineer
last fall only to be defeated in trying to
climb this snow range, says that 1t was not
unsoalable rock or ice wall that turned him
back. It has often been proved that to be
overtaken by a storm on the well known
snow fields of Mont Blanc or Monte Rosa is
perilous. Ruwenaori, however, is almost UNI
known, and FREsHFIELD says that he at
least Is not foolhardy enough to go wander
ing around on unknown snow mountains In
a fog 30 dense that nothing can be seen q
rod away.
His party had assembled to a height Of a.
500 feet when the fog settled down to stay.
The bafied mountainous finally retraced
their steps DOWN the slope. The weather
was wretohed throughout, The time of his
visit was mainly determined "by the printed
statement of our most distinguished prede-
oessor." This can be no other than Sir
HARRY JOHNSTON, who wrote that Novem-
Der was likely to be a good month for
climbing and exploration. 1t proved to be
one Of the worst Of months, and the whites
living near Ruwenzori say that January and
July give the only fine weather on the
mountains. The Duke Of the ABRUzzI ex-
pects to be climbing there in July next.
FREsHFIELD saw enough of the mountains
to convince him that the highest peak is
not more than 1s. 900 feet. He believes
that a circle twelve miles in diameter would
include all the glaciers. If the Italian
Prince has good luck we may expect to have
exact information before the year is out.
