"Interests With a Chineh."

Speaking before the congress
sional committee, March 4, 1906,
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
said: ri think that all through
history you can find that same ap-
peal and plea made by everyone
who profted by the unjust con-
ditions which obtained at that
time. Those who profit by in
justice, those who profit by mall
administration, those who profit
by unjust laws, those who proited
by human slavery, in all cases and
in all ages have urged those in
whose power it was to make a
change, to maintain the existing
conditions 1t has been the re-
pudiation of such claims that has
made for the progress of the world,
and that has established even the
republic of our country. Every
corrupt politician, every over
weening boss, every greedy cor
poration, every discriminating rail
road, every trust, every man who
profits from a wrongful condition
of affairs will urge the advantage
of maintaining existing condi-
tons"
We are told that this is good
description of the "stand pat''
doctrine. So it is, but The Com
n,oner insists that the best defini-
ton of "stand pat" was given by
the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal, a Re-
publican paper, when, in recent
issue, it said: "Thus it comes tc
pass that a 'standpatter' in Iowa
and in other States as we'll is now
generally understood to be a mar
who opposes any radical change
in existing institutions. Because
of inertia, or ingrained conservat.
ism, or his personal relations, he
is willing to allow interests with
cinch to hold on to their advantage
indefinitely."- Con,moner.

Won't Stay Closed.

A great many people were sur
prised when the Interstate Com
merce Commission undertook to
give Paul Morton another "vindi-
cation" The New York Press, a
Republican paper, points out that
the defense of Mr.. Morton on the
ground that there was no "crimi-
nal intent" is similar to that con-
tended for by Mr.. Jerome in be-
half of the insurance crooks. The
Press adds: "Mr. Morton never
intended to violate the law; he
only patriotically intended to de-
velop the languishing coal in
dustry of New Mexico. That the
Santa Fe should incidentally profit,
and that in another case of the
same kind Brother JOY Morton
should gain an unlawful advant-
age, by inference was beyond his
control. Lawyers who make a
specially of criminal law should
consider this precedent and that of
the insurance cases. If a man set
fire to a house and some one is
burned to death, he may escape
punishment because he never in
tended to have anything happen
but the burning of the house which,
in his view, was justifable be-
cause the welfare of the community
required it's destruction. Any one
who will find fault with the reas-
oning of this plea is q quibbler
who will deny the conquering logic
of the whole tissue of casuistry
which envelops the Morton case.
Such a scoffer, too, would quarrel
even with the conclusions of the
interstate commerce commission,
which, after justifying the act Of
the individuals in the Santa Fe
cases to it's own satisfaction, points
triumphantly to the collection oi
half a million dollars from the
Santa Fe road by the competitors
that were the victims of the Morton
policy of developing the New
Mexico coal industry. The com.
mission clinches it's argument by
observing that now has followed
the convictions as above stated o:
the railway company and the fue
and iron company At least We
can agree enthusiastically with thu
commission in it's statement tina
while many obstacles prevent th'
conviction of railroad officers fo
giving rebates, 'on the other hand
it is not difficult to prosecute thu
corporations themselves Thi
reminds us of the Judson- Harmon
theory that it is the corporation
which slip out of bed O. nights ane
grant the rebates while the officer
are asleep. We may also com
mend the prudence of the inter
state commerce commission il
qualifying it's assertion that thi
closes the incident with the wore
probably tits an incident which
we fear, will not stay closed"
