THE QUESTION or IMMUNITY.

President Roosevelt does not believe in per
mitting the establishment of a system of i'm
munity baths for vioators of the antitrust
laws. His message is a vigorous and persua-
sve exposition of the view all along taken by
the administration with respect to the claim
of immunity for individuals on the strength of
information given TO the Department of Com
merce and Labor or 10 the Interstate Commerce
Commission, but Overruled by Judge Humphrey
in Chicago 1t has been supposed that Judge
Humphreys decision only made impossible any
cooperation between the Department of JUS
tlce and the officials gaining information as
TO trust operations by authority of the law
through other than judicial proceedings. The
President appears to think the decision inter
feres with prosecutions entirely independent
of the Interstate Commerce Commission or the
Commissioner of Corporations if by any chance
n defendant has voluntarily given or ordered
to be given 10 them information such as the law
authorizes them to collect. From that point
of view the decision is a serious obstacle 10
the enforcement of the law, and while the
President does not think ii would he followed
by other Judges. yet he suggests the wisdom
of a clearer definition of the soope of the inl-
munity granted.
Ii may not be easy 70 make such defni-
ton effective. The right 10 refuse to testify
against ones self is constitutional The law
cannot extort evidence against persons without
giving them an immunity which is the full
equivalent Of the reticence which it forbids
Whether any particular measure OF immunity
is the ful! equivalent or not is judicial rather
than. legislative question.
Perhaps Congress can so define the powers
OF the investigating boards that there can he
no question about the voluntary character Of
statements made 10 them, at least so far that
a person may plead his personal privilege in
.ho
such Information from all judicial proceedings
against individuals and so secure procedure
which will be upheld by the courts But tho
final determination of the sufiiciency of the
immunity must rest with the courts
Besides asking for a decaratory act, the Pres
.dent makes an earnest recommendation that
the government should have a right OF appeal

THE cALIFoRyIA EARTHQUAKE.

The calamity which has visited San Fran
cisco and the neighborhood when its kind and
extent are both considered, has never been
equaled in this country. In the course of
few days its exact proportions will "a better
known than they now, hut It's chief out
lines are sufficiently visible to excite profound
sympathy. The city of San Francisco expert
enced two earthquake shocks powerful enough
TO wreck some buildings and damage thou
sands. A number of fires were thus started,
and these have added immensely to the work
of destruction. The situation was made more
appalling by the rupture of the city water
mains, which prevented the extinction of the
flames by the customary methods and de-
manded the use of dynamite TO check their
spread. There may still be reason to hope that
the loss of life resulting from this upheaval is
to be reckoned by hundreds, rather than thou
sands. The mortality then would not approach
that which accompanied the ruin of Caracas In
1872. when twelve thousand people perished
II would be less terrible than that which at
tended the earthquakes in Peru in 1865, and
hardly TO be compared with that resulting from
the historic catastrophes of which Lisbon and
Naples have been the scene. But at the best
n considerable proportion of the population of
San Francisco may temporarily be left home
less.
The pecuniary loss is certain 10 reach an enor
nous total. The size of the city is one factor
in the case and the character of the buildings
in the district which suffered most is another.
1t must be remembered. moreover, that rail
roads. telegraphs and telephones have all been
put at the service of mankind since the de-
struction Of Lisbon and Caracas. There are
more kinds of property TO be destroyed now
than there were then.
In some respects the convulsion of nature
which has just been witnessed on the Pacific
Coast is more terrible. though less imposing
as a spectacle, than that which has fixed the
gaze Of the world on the Bay of Naples within
the last fortnight. A severe earthquake usually
comes without the slightest warning. OF a
violent volcanic eruption there is almost al
ways ample premOnition. Pelee was active for
a full month before the outburst which ami
hilated ST. Pierre. Though the worst work done
by Yesuvius was limited to a few days. it
was prefaced by months Of unusual activity.
Time enough was afforded when the crisis
actually came for most of the people who
were threatened TO abandon their homes and
escape death. In that respect, at least San
Francisco has encountered pitiless fate 1t
1t certain that the sympathy of the country
will be freely manifested in practical ways if
help is needed.
New-York tribune., 1906-04-19
THE PLAN OF THE CANAL.

Secretary Tafts appeal to Congress 10 pre-
scribe at once the type Of canal which is TO be
constructed at Panama is well conceived. 1t is
quite true, as he says, that unless such action
is taken it will be necessary to suspend work
upon that enterprise-or else 10 proceed with
unauthorized work in the face of danger that
presently it may have 10 be undone. There are.
1t is true, certain parts of the work which must
be done no matter what the plan may be. and
which must be done in substantially the same
way under any plan. But these are only small
part of the whole. and are not sufficient to
keep employed the entire present staff and force.
Moreover, economy and expedition require that
work shall be pushed on all parts Of the task
at the same time. If those stupendOus dams at
Gatun and Bohio are to be built, work ought 10
be started upon them right away. so that if they
made of earth, as is proposed, the material
dug out of the Culebra cut can be utilized for
them at once, instead Of having it carted else
where and then carted back to those sites.
Justice TO the builders OF the canal. from the
President down, also requires prompt decision.
AT present they stand in the unenviable position
of men who have been directed 10 do q great
work and who are to be held responsible for
the speedy doing of 1t, yet who have not received
orders as TO its plan. 1t will scarcely do TO say
that the existing law sufficiently prescribes the
plan and authorizes the construction of canal
at high level. 1t does no such thing. 1t directs
the President TO build the canal. and it appar-
entity does not give him power 10 make it any
thing more or better than a lock canal. But
the fact that he would not be able under il TO
build any other than lock canal is by no means
a specific direction to make that kind of canal.
If now he should proceed on that plan Congress
might at any time order a change, perhaps in
volying the undoing of much that had been done,
and some of the very men who now hesitate to
prescribe the plan would be foremost in wanting
10 know what business he had to go on in
way not specifically authorized by Congress,
Just as also they will probably rail against him
for not making the dirt fly" If he is compelled
to suspend work pending their decision.
We can see no good reason for another days
delay in the matter. 1t would be idle to hope
for any clearer light upon the subject. for
any more authoritative testimony, opinion and
judgment upon #. Two of the ablest engi-
neers in America, acting as responsible chief
engineers. have investigated and reported, one
in favor of n level and one in favor of
lock canal. An advisory board of exceptional
authority, consisting of a bakers dozen OF the
foremost engineers Of Europe and America, has
made an elaborate and panstaking report, or
set of reports. The Canal Commission, the Sec
retary of War and the President have all said
their last words upon the subject. Committees
of Congress have visited the isthmus and in
vestigated the matter and have conducted elab-
crate inquests at Washington. II the data are
not now in hand for intelligent decision,
when will they be?

S215 100000 exports she sends s120.ooo'0O0 to
the United Kingdom.
So Sir Thomas says il is exasperatng, and
he wants a conference between Canada and
Great Britain 10 determine what shall be done
about it. though there is no prospect of one
being held. The fact is, the complaint seems
TO be against some natural and inexora bic con-
ditions beyond governmental control Canada
cannot complain that our tariff shuts out her
goods. for she has "high tariff wall" against
ours Moreover trade must be considered in
proportion to population. 1t is true that last
year Canada sold us only 1858 worth,
while we sold her $40 T41 $50 worth. But then
that meant that each Canadian, on the average,
sold S11 40 worth to u.s. while each of us sold only
81 % worth TO the Canadians; though. of course,
1t might be put the other way, showing that
each Canadian bought S25 IS worth from us,
while each of us bought less than so cents worth
from Canada. To combine the two forms. each
Canadian sold S11 40 worth to us and bought
SO 30 worth from us, while each of us sold
81 10 worth TO Canada and bought less than so
cents worth from Canada. They bought twice
as much as they sold, and we sold twice as
much as We bought.
We cannot wonder at their regarding it as
unsatisfactory Yet it is not clear that any
thing can be done to change it. excepting
through the increase of varied industries in the
DoR1iniOn and progress toward condition of
greater self-Sutficency. Canada, like the United
States buys only what she is obliged to have"
and she buys 1t where she can get il most
readily and most cheaply. She buys more from
us than from Great Britain because we have
more things which she needs than Great Britain
has. 1T is inexorable law of trade that
causes her grievance, and abatement can come
only through the normal processes of trade and
industry.

ON questions OF law in criminal cases. AS he
notes such appeal is already allowed in some
states. With defendant corporations fighting
for immunity, not on the facts or on any pre-
tence of innocence. but on the strength of legal
technicalties, there Is much to be said against
letting decision of On inferior court on some
disputed legal principle utterly prevent the de-
termination of a case on its merits. The Da'-
ance between government and accuse1 pc
sons has changed. The President makes per
fectly just discrimination when he say
Our system of criminal 1urisprudencN his de-
scended to from period when the uAhger
was lest the accused should not have his rights
adequately preserved and II is admirably framed
to meet this danger. But at present the dam
ger is just the reverse: that is, the danger now
adays is, not that innocent men VIII be convicted
of crime, but that the guilty man will go scot
free. This is especially the case where the crime
is one of greed and cunning, perpetrated by
man of wealth in the course of those business
operations where the code of conduct is at vari-
morality, but with the code established in
the law of the land.
Certainly the legal principles which allow
persons actually guilty of crime to escape
punishment, even though their guilt be unde-
MED, should be established by nothing less than
the highest judicial authority.

TIE HARD COIL DEADLOCK.

The latest statement Of the hard coal opera
tors, made in their letter Of Tuesday 10 Presi-
dent Mitchell is disappointing in spirit, If not

with courtesy and moderation, but its tone is
too suggestive Of unconcern. 1t betrays no very
consuming interest in situation which may
paralyZe the whole anthracite coal region in
Pennsylvania and put additional tax on
every helpless coal consumer on the Atlantic
seaboard. The listlessness which has charac-
terized the peace negotiations in the anthra-
cite field contrasts unfavorably with the zeal
and fervor with which the differences between
the soft coal operators and the miners were
thrashed out. In the soft coal district both

4 CANADIAN COMPLAINT.

The complaint made by the president Of the
Canadian Pacific Railway concerning trade be-
tween Canada and the United States is urgent
and is well founded, though We are not sure
we know exactly against what it is directed.
The situation, as Sir Thomas Shaughnessy sees
Il is this Canada has high tariff wall" and
also preferential relations with Great Britain,
circumstances which should discourage trade
with the United States and promote that with
the mother country. Yet Canadian purchases
from the United States are increasing yearly.
while the United States takes from Canada
only what ii is obliged 10 have. All Of which.
says Sir Thomas. is exasperating.
1t is But what can be done about It? Sir
Thomas does not blame the United States. He
does not, of course, think we should buy things
! from Canada which we do not need. Neither
/ does he intimate that forcing Canada
/ TO buy from us things that she does not need.
As for reciprocity between the two countries.
/ IT would naturally increase the very thing he
| complains OF, and SO he declares rOundly that

/ Canada needs so many things which the United
States can supply better than any other nation,

tariff against US and her preferential tariff In
