TRUSTS ATTACKING REPUBLICANS
Importance of Next Fails Political
Battle.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.


ST. Louis Globe-Democrat
There are intimations from Washington,
New York and Chicago that the heads OF
the great combines are TO take a hand
against the republican party in the con-
Eressional canvass of 1906. 1t is easy TO be-
lieve this. Trustism at this moment is
fighting for it's life. 1t is being assailed
by the whole power and influence of the
Roosevelt administration. Behind Roosevelt
and Moody stand the 100000 republicans
of the United States. Ready also to aid the
republicans If the. trusts show any sign
of getting the upper hand in the congress
sional election stand hundreds of thousands
of democrats, who recognize that ose-
Welt and the republican party are lighting
the battles OF the 100000 of American
people.
It is a republican administration which
Is making the fight for the people against
the heads of the great combines and these
magnates VIII use all their resources In
chicane and wealth TO strike down the
republican party in the election few
months hence. A defeat for the republicans
this year would. as the trust bosses reason,
not only put the republicans out OF power
in congress during the second half Of Roose-
velRs term, but excite popular distrust
against nlnl, ana tie MS ndIuS III MS HbHl
against the lawbreakers. The trusts have
no grudge against the democratic party.
In the part of the second Cleveland admin
istration in which the democracy had not
only the president but both branches Of
congress and the entire machinery of the
federal government. Il did nothing to
modest the combines or TO make them
afraid. Under democratic sway today the
republican antitrust act OF 1890, which
Roosevelt is enforcing, would be as dead
as il was in 1891. when Cleveland was In
power. A victory for the democracy this
year would be a victory for trustism i'm
the most offensive shape i'm which It can
present itself. Behind every democratic
candidate Cor congress viii stand the re-
sources and the power Of the packers COM
bine, for the Hills and the Morgans OF the
Northern Securities company. which Roose-
welt overthrow in 1904; and the rest OF the
aggregations OF consolidated capital whose
existence will be menaccd n the republicans

Stanton Picket: General Thayer was
worthy citizen and statesman and will ever

another of its most distinguished citizens.
His memory will ever be cherished by Ne

ture generations.
Holdrege Progress: The memory OF his

Taylor Clarion: John NJ Thayer occupies

the affections OF its people which no other
man ever did or ever can claim.
Stanton Register: A brave soldier Of the

ity. As governor, he was above the aver

courts, and vet after a long time be
held enormously by the supreme court.
It would be Of exceeding value II the
government could take the legal ques-
ton passed upon 10y Judge Humphrey
and have it promptly adjudicated once
and for all, because not only the opera
tons Of the Department of Justice, but
also legislation. are involved in such a
settlement.
No right of a defendant is contravened
by granting appeal to the government
because he cannot be twice put in ieop-
ardy. The lower courts decision, though
found on appeal to be erroneous. would
he conclusive as to the defendant. But
appeal might save the public interest

Railroad Reprisal.
Springfield Republican.

So determined are the Ohio railroads to
give the people of the state no better than
the maximum 2-cent rate imposed by recent
legislative act, that they are considering
the withdrawal OF excursion tickets sold at
one and third Of the regular fare-whether
such excursions extend beyond Ohio or not.
1t is obviously spite and net reason which
governs in this consideration. II the ex-
cursons were not profitable they would
never have been persisted in, and If they
are now withdrawn a source of gain to the
roads will be abandoned. Cutting off ones
nose to spite the face Is not policy that
will long possess the Ohio railroads.

SENSIBLE TREATMENT OF HAzrNG.

SENSIBLE TREATMENT or HAZING.
The senate bill as amended by the
house provides for more rational deal
ing with the hazing nuisance in mill
tary and naval academies. Not the
least cause of the trouble at Annapolis
has been the connivance of both the
superior officers and the cadet officers,
who in many cases. If not habitually,
have refused to report even the most
fragrant violations of the law. 1t would
have been impossible for "the unwritten
code" which from beginning to end is
a gross and palpahle subversion of the
law OF the land, to be carried to the
extremes lately revealed without the
virtual cooperation of those in authority
at the naval academy. The pending bill
makes negligence or connivance on their
part a serious matter.
The existing law tends to aggravate
the evils of the hazing system by ignor-
ing the difference between mere boyish
pranks of the midshipmen which though
Ofenses against discipline. do not de-
serve extreme punishment, and grave
violations which justly deserve and re-
quire expulsion. Thus the law became
practically a dead letter as to all of
| lenses, grave as well as trivial The
new measure will be more enforceable
by making the punishment fit the crime
and prescribing dismissal only for IA
| grant violations.

1t has been ruled by the supreme court
of Nebraska that the anti-cigarette law in
that state is valid except as it applies 10
the sort which the smoker rolls himself
1t might be construed as contempt Of

fashion with their own fingers. But it
seems to he nothing short of a public
duty to say that there is no hope for a
man after he begins to roll cigarettes.

Rockefeller Can Come Out.

The decision of Judge Humphrey in the
cases of the meat packers is that the men
at the head of the corporations, and doing
it's work. cannot be convicted of violations
of the trust laws, but that the corporations
themselves can be. and, in effect, have
been. Mr.. Rockefeller may come out of
hiding when he hears that there is a
chance for the Standard Oil company to
make vicarious atonement for him If
anybody can find 1t at home.
