And the child mind choked with weedst

And the fathers heart that Nbleedsl

AN END OF GREED's SWAY.


Governor Charles E. Hughes OF New
York, In an address to students at
Ann Arbor, has added an interesting
and Thoughtful contribution to the
plans for checking the growth and
grasp of greed, which are detrimental
to the public good, without limiting
the fullest expression of individualism,
which is the pride of Americans and
the principal source of their progress
and development. In Offering solu-
ton of the problem, Governor Hughes
contends that our duties and our in
terests are collective and that limit
must be placed upon the individual
when it is necessary for the greater
good of society. He declares that
Americans have permitted the exer-
else of individualism to a point where
the public good has been injured and
that remedial measures must be
adopted to secure an adjustment Of
conditions under which the individual
shall be allowed full play and society
still receive it's just due.
The governor sees successful efforts
for this Accomplishment being made
in many directions. Holders of public
franchises no longer treat them as
their own inventions, the products Of
their own initiative, but are beginning
to, recognize the rights of the people
in these franchises and to something
like a reasonable compensation for
their use. The change is due, not to
awakened conscience among the hold
ers of franchises, hut, to the awakened
conscience of the people and in their
determination to prevent continuance
OF abuses tolerated through their con-
tributory negligence.
THE idea is beginning to dawn upon
some of our financial leaders," says
Mr. sHughess THAT they must take the
public into partnership. This idea will
continue to grow as the, people insist
that 1t is not alone their sympathy for
misguided stockholders that draws
OPpCoA'AOA
their feeling that all society is being
wronged." In this, the governor gives
expression to a principle which privi-
legged corporations are prone to ignore,
but which the people are no longer
willing to overlook. The value of every
franchise for the use of public utility
is based on the energy and develop
ment Of the people using it. The fran
chise invariably follows the develop
ment of city that makes possible the
profitable management of a public
utility. The privileged owners come
in as reapers of benefits made possible
only by prior investments of money
and energy in which they did not
share. This, as Governor Hughes
points out in his address, forms so
ciety's vested interest in every quasi
public enterprise which cannot justly,
properly or legally be ignored or in
jured by the play of individual greed.

SWEDISH IMMIGRATION.

The king of Swedenfand his-adtisers
are seeking a method of preventing
the young and strong -of their popula-
ton from seeking their fortunes in
America and other distant countries
With this object in view, a campaign
of education is being made, accom-
panied by appeals to patriotism, to CON
vince the Swedish people that their
services are needed at home to in
crease the nations productiveness in
agriculture, fishing and. other indus
tries, but the king has not yet sue
ceeded in staying the food of emlgra-
ton among his subjects, The. latest
move is the offer of reward of $4,000
TO the author of the best solution of
the problem presented.
None will blame the king of Sweden
for wanting to keep the youth and
strength of his country at home, but
the suggestion may be made that the
tide of emigration from Swedish
shores will not be- stopped by prize
essays on economic subjects. The
young men of Sweden. intellectually
rich In energy, find opportunities for
remunerative labor, ownership OF land
and opportunity to prosper in America
far beyond their possibilities at home,
Until conditions at home change to
enlarge the possibilities of business ad-
vancement and offer reward and recog-
milton OF individual EFFORT and energy,
the young and strong OF Sweden viii
continue in large numbers to buy
tickets for America.

BLOCKING IMMUNITY BATHS.
Right to Appeal ON questions of Law
in Criminal Cases. -


EltlSpuFB OlsphNcu.'
The passage by the senate Of the bill
granting the government the right OF APP
peal to the supreme court on questions OF
law in criminal cases ID expected to render
the possibility OF future immunity baths
remote, II not indeed to make them inn
possible. The fact that the government
was so easily defeated in its efforts TO
bring the packers to justice by the quash-
ing of the proceedings by subordinate
court on a mere question OF law astounded
the country and evoked a presidential refer
ence that attracted national attention.
Under the existing law the defendant, Of
course, had every right of appeal but the
government had to submit to having leg
lslation nulllied by a district judge with
out any possibility Of appeal AS Senator
Nelson said II virtually meant a double
veto on the acts OF congress, First. by
the president, which might be overcome by
SUFFICIENT votes, and then by any Judge,
over whose veto there was no remedy.
Several cases similar to that OF the pack
ers have arisen TO strengthen the demand
that the government should have the right
to appeal on questions of law to the su-
preme court.
The opposition TO this demand was voiced
by Senator Rayner. who dwelt upon the as
defendant could be placed in jeopardy
twice. But as Senator Knox contended Il
is only desired 10 give the government
right OF appeal on questions OF law In
tended 20 defeat trial Had there been
such law when the immunity bath was
taken the government could have appealed
to the supreme court on the question
whether the defendants were entitled to
immunity and possibly have obtained a
decision reversing Judge Humphreys, in
which case the packers would have had to
stand trial As It was Humphries' decision
brought the whole proceedings to nAught.
The extension OF the right OF appeal to
the government will inJupe no defendant.

New York Sun.
The present session OF congress promises
TO be a record breaker In the matter OF
appropriations. From all present indica-
tions the total win come very close to
the billion-dollar mark. There Is a posi-
bility that It may cross that mark.
1t is not easy 70 see just where any i'm
portant economies could be effected IN our
budget. A few millions could be saved
here and there, perhaps, but their total
would be comparatively inconsiderable. A
few dollars could be saved here and there
by the adoption OF better business methods
In some OF the departments. but the total
would be no very important sum. Our
navy Is none too large. and there are
branches OF the military service which al
most demand expansion beyond their
present strength, Our pension roll is enor-
nous. but It's reduction would meet no
public approval. Our postal service costs
vast Hum. but II is vast business.
30 long as general prosperity continues
we can carry our expenditures with little
inconvenience and with little understanding
OF their magnitude Should there come a
period OF Industrial stagnation and COM
mercial contraction we should probably be
obliged 20 sit up and do some hard think
ing,
spend In a single year. but with prosperity
continuous, even that expenditure will not
notioeably strain our resources.

VaIua tiOn Of Railroad Property.
philadalnhia Racord

In he language OF the supreme court OF
the United States, reasonable rate TO be
charged for the transportation OF freight
and passengers would be a rate that would
yield 10 the carriers a fair return on the
actual value of their property and equip
ment over and above their legitimate ex-
pensese. The right basis for the determina-
ton OF the reasonableness OF a rate will
be lacking until such valuation shall have
been made. Whether the interstate com
merce commission is the proper body 20
make such a valua ton Is a question con-
corning which there may be a difference
OF opinion; the commission would be over
whelmed by the addition OF this stupendous
task TO its other engrossing duties. The
senate lodged the question by referring the
LAFoIlette bill on the subject to the COM
