tons surrounding them shift so rap
idly, that the charter given TO a
metropolis today viii be outgrown
in a few years. Larger and larger
privilege and power of self-govern-
ment must be granted to American
cities if they are to develop as they
ought.
There is a deal of wonderment at
the fearful failure Americans seem
to have made thus far in their mu-
nicipal governments. The mystery
would not be so dark if people
would understand the relations of
the American city to the State gov
eminent and then learn how much
more independent are the great cit
les of most other countries. Every
privilege granted to a city by a
State Legislature becomes a matter
of barter and dicker. What
should be possessed as a right is to
be secured as a special favor only
by cajoling and manipulation. The
condition is impossible, and it ex-
plains the very basic difficulty with
city administration.

MONDAY, MAY 6. 1907.
Another "UnWritten Law.

No rare perspicacity is required to
see why the Kent Club, of Yale
Law School, sent its letter to
Lawyer Dolphin NJ. Delmas, who
had charge of the Thaw case, with
drawing its invitation to him TO
address the students of the school
this spring. The reason given in
the letter was the "unwritten law"
of the Yale faculty that no lectures
shall be given at the school after
May l, but that is surely a mere
figure of speech, since it does not
affect the invitation to Secretary
Root, who is to lecture before the
school two or three weeks later.
The fact is that Delmas is felt to
be unsafe as a beacon light of legal
illumination since his unfortunate
plea in the Thaw case. His two
words, "dementia Americana" did
more to kill what might have be-
come great reputation than would
the total loss of the case itself.
The East differeth with the West
as one star from another in glory,
and the days OF sprcad-eagle oratory
before a jury are in their twilight
in this section of the world.
This also may be set down as
potent ~unwritten law"

Charters for Cities.

The Illinois Legislature is strug-
Cling with the problem of a new
charter for the city of Chicago.
There has been no general revision
of this instrument since the town
was a frontier trading place. No
where in the world would a great
city be subjected to such restric-
lions upon its right of self-govern-
ment, as are imposed on the major
ity of cities in America. Chicago is
governed from Springfield, New
York largely from Albany, the Ohio
cities are the constant prey of po-
htical factions because the Column
bus Legislature is the real power
over them. Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture has given perhaps the most
rank illustrations of the demorah-
zation that follows the rule of a
city from outside.
The interests which control the
public utilities of large cities are
highly pleased with present condi-
tons. The rest Of the community
submits to them largely from lack
OF intelligent understanding of
them. Chicago is begging the Hi
nois Legislature to give it a new
charter, and the Legislature seems
disposed to make terms, not to do
justice. 1t will give a new charter
provided it shall be agreed that Chi
cago shall perpetually content itself
with less than its fair representa-
ton in the Legislature. Chicago in
desperation may have to accept this.
But it ought not to do so.
It should not do so because if it
does it viii have another long and
hard fight when next it wants its
fundamental law changed. That
time viii not be many decades away.
The demands of great cities set
them apart from the rest of the
community. Their organization,
government, social conditions, are
so complex and varied, and condi-

The Housing Commission.

A housekeeping of Washington's
slums is needed not only to make
the Capital a model city but to sus-
tain its self-resPect. The conditions

threat against the general health.

LABOR TROUBLES
IN ZONE SETTLED
Taft Files His Report to
the President on
Conditions.

Secretary Of War Taft in a report Just
filed with the President on his investi-
cation Of conditions on the Panama
canal and a hearing of the demands Of
steam shovel men and other workmen
there. settles what at one time threat
ened 10 develop into serious labor COM
plications.
The demands for increased wages are
denied on the grounds that they are I'M
reasonable Shovel men asked an In
crease from 500 70 800 a month; crane
men from $1S5 20 $50 and tiremen from
$SS.23 to $40. Secretary TAFT says that
these men already receive from % TO 80
per cent nor" than similar workmen IN
the States with work assured them for
twelve months. An Increase Of per
cent is recommended as a reward each
year for faithful service. These ad-
vantages Of employees on the canal are
pointed out as special concessions TO the
men.
Every shovelman on the isthmus is
entitled TO six weeks leave with pay as
4 vacation, so that ne receives twelve
months pay for ten and one-half

as being a condition precedent and part
OF the contract under which men went

The Test of the Sherman Law.

1t was The Washington Times
which first, analyzing the evidence
taken in the investigation of the
Hartman system Of railroads,
pointed out that the most useful
discovery made was that concerning
the terms of the contract between
the Oregon Short Line and the San
Pedro road. This contract was
signed by f. H. Hartman as presi-
dent of one, and Senator w. A.
Clark as president of the other road.
The contract was about the most
fragrant agreement in restraint of
trade that we have ever known. 1t
bound both PARTIES to cease all COM
petition, TO make the same rates, to
divide traffic and territory in such
fashion that there should be abso-
lutely no possible benefit to the
public from the construction of the
new road, and to maintain this con-
dition for ninety-nine years.

upon Senator Clark. one of the rich
est men in the world, by the power
Of the Hartman group. Clark had
started to fight Hartman TO the
bitter end. He was rich enough to
build a railroad across the Con-
tinent if he wanted to; and exas-
Perated by the high rates imposed
on his ores he decided to have his
own road. It really seemed for once
that even the mighty Hartman
Rockefeller group had found a foe
man worthy Of its steel.
Yet in the end Clark had TO sur
render. It was the last magnificent
effort Of independent business in
terest to establish competition
against a great syndicated system;
and it failed. The whole facts are
beginning to come out; more of
them will come out if the Interstate
Commerce Commission pushes the

termined upon. Unless there is
prosecution, and unless it is sue
cessful prosecution, it may as well
be accepted that the Sherman law.

these because Of the failure 10 maintain

closed preferred 10 forfeit their inter

the condemnation Of animals and meats.

the necessity for STATE and municipal
vigilance in regard TO inspection.

that IL was surprising 10 note the large

authority for stating that President
