The Fact. In the Alabama Case

Atlanta Journal.
 The Journal will never willingly i'm pair its effectiveness by creating false or misleading impression, even in com menting on issues in which We are most deeply interested
 In order to dissipate any impression which may prevail to the enect that we were entering into the merits of the Alabama case in recent criticisms of the too-Ieady Injunction, We desire to repeat what was distinctly stated at the time. that we did not go m lnto 9 the merits of the case at issue. We men tionod the Alavama litigation as being the latest of three contentious, some what similar in the different States. and proceeded with a general review courts in the past. to issue restraining orders on the ex parte evidence of par ties at interest.
 In the very beginning we LOOK occa- sion to saY-speaking of the Alabama case Tt Is not necessary to go into the merits of the issue which has peen raised in order to make the point whlci is most striking and most worthy ol attention" There was no disposition to go into the facts. and such pur- pose was distinctly disclaimed. ~
 It has been pointed out. lndeed' Una, in the Alabama case the state wa given all the time 1t desired; the P@te. @ liminary injunction was not grahLtee'S Le' until nearly six weeks after the pll was filed; the railroad commission dit not present any evidence, byI way o affidavit or otherwise. to overcome ,i ih' prima facie case made by the bills | and. if appears, admitted In open eoHI lI that there was nothing Tor the preslo Ing judge to do but grant the petition
 These facts would seem to place tn | Alabama case in a somewhat dinereh | catagorv from those in which ingunc | tions have been issued too readily II l the past on the eX parte eVloence | the railroads.
 The Journal is strongly convinced . l the correctness of its position on tn l general question. There have been nu ] torious abuses of the FederaI lnJVnc

terms that an individual criminal sometimes escapes. Not being able to convict Standard oil without the evil donce of the Chicago and Alton the bar gain was made and the road is to es- cape.
 It is said that President Roosevelt is undetermined and perplexed over the situation. He has all the papers in the case. and has been giving them more or less attention but has not de- cided what he will do. As The Brook lyn Eagle sees 1t. a bargain is a bar gain, but the President has called more than one conference, and is still unde- termined. He hesitates because, to state the reasons plainly, 1t is alleged that the railroad did not deliver all the goods. Possibly. Be that as it may. however. it cannot be contended that the prosecution suffered for want of material. It emerged from the court room glutted with spoils. Judge Lam dis fined the defendant every dollar permitted by the law. so that the tri- umph of the government was unquali- fled. If. therefore, the railroad failed to deliver" any part of its case. the prosecution lost nothing on account thereof It won hands down.
 So here is the condition of the affair. Evcn if the railroad did not deliver all the goods in the way of evidence it handed over enough to secure the con- viction of its partner in guilt. It is no wonder that the administration is be- ing severely criticised for it's part in what we may call conformation of crime. It is no wonder that Harper's weekly calls this case a travesty upon justice. It characterizes it as un- | worthy and yengeful and as pandering to prejudice and passion. It declares it to be subversive of the true princi-
 ples of equity and stigmatizes it as all
 ineffaceable blot upon the administra- tion. And it could multiply these and
 kindred terms indefinitely without | overlooking condemnation. The Presi-
 dent of the United States has often ta- ken up the cause of fair play. It is
 indebted to him for savage blow.

 "So como, let's get together-let s not divide the house. this will make it's fall only the easier.

of 1t.

It is strongly intimated that the Chi capo and Alton Railroad. which was equally guilty with the Standard Oil Company in the matter of freight re- bates may not be punished in any way. We say equally guilty" because if 1t was wrong for Standard to get rebates 1t was wrong for the road to grant them. One party cannot make bar gain by itself. Rockefeller and his associates could not have obtained fa- yors from the railroad without the full knowledge and consent of the railroad authorities, as all know. So, if there was guilt in getting reduced rates there was wrong in giving them.
 Why, in the first place, it may be asked, was the Chicago and Alton road SO willing to grant rebates? Why again. should the road escape its just share of punishment for plain violation of laws. These questions are pertinent and both questions and answers so to- cether. The road had made bargain with the authorities by which 1t was to supply information to convict the Standard and in return was to receive immunity in full for it's own transgres- sions In plain words, the road turned States evidence on condition that it was not to be punished. It is not un- common in courts of justice for one criminal to be promised immunity when his evidence is needed to convict his fellow criminals. The railroad, so 1t is charged, goes free on the same
