Mr.. Bryan his supremacy in the democratic
party. and at the same time develop new
man in the republican party.
1t is this feeling which occasions much
current speculation. Gov. Glenn of North
Carolina takes an earnest stand in the rail-
road question. and forthwith is hailed as
the very man for his party to nominate for
President next year. A New York political
club invites him Immediately to come over
and dine and make a speech. Judge Lanuis
assesses the Standard Oil Company to the
limit for violations of the law. and he Is
picked the next morning for either the gov
ernorshfp of Illinois. or the presidency OF
the United States. Political thought is on
hair trigger and goes off at the slightest
jar.
Governors are fair game. although even
in. their cases admirers should not hurry
with promotions. But judges should be I'M
mune from all such attentions. They are
not writing their opinions with view OF
influencing political action of any kind, or
suggesting a transfer of themselves to ths
political world, and all they do on the
bench should be entirely free from political
interpreta ton.

The Keystone Graft Gang.

The Pennsylvania capitol scandal has
Reached a critical stage. After many weeks
OF hearings in the course of which the fact
was demonstrated beyond the possibility of
doubt that the state had been mulcted in
millions of dollars in the construction of
the building. the commission has retired to
a summer resort to consider the terms in
which it should report to the governor
Not even the most ardent friends of the
iooters have hoped for exoneration
through a finding that there was no graft
in the work. The most partisan body con-
ceivable would not dare to return such
finding in the face of the clear proof of
frauds. The utmost that the dishonest Of
fcials and contractors hope is that the
commission will refrain from recommend
ing the criminal prosecution OF specific
persons for specific ofrenscs. With rec
onmendaJion To that end before him the
governor could not avoid tnstituting pro-
ceedngs calculated to land the graftcrs in
Jail. But with the report confined to gen
erai decIal atoms regarding the extrava-
gance, carelessuess or even the dishonesty
with which the capitol was erected it NAV
be doubted whether the state officials will
feel themselves 20 be as directly bound TO
proceed against the men who have lined
their p"'kejs At the expense OF the tax
payers.

Judge Lands and Politics.

Judge Lands is quoted discouraging
any mention OF his name in connection with
political office. The sentiment is highly
crcditable to him and his truest friends
Will respect his wishes.
Not in years have the courts. federal or
state, been called upon to decide questions
OF more Importance than those now be-
fore them. or soon to be. Our whole i'm
proved and complicated system of affairs,
political and Industrial, is under test, and
the clashes between public interests and
private interests are multiplying The
courts are being appealed 70 by both sides:
and by their decisions both sides must
abide. Never before. therefore have occu-
pants of the bench had greater occasion tn
weigh matters solely with regard to the
law and public policy and without the
slightest regard to themselves.
just now the political world is in u condi-
tiUn Of uncertainty and confusion. On the
one side. it is true. Mr.. Bryan seems to
have matters In hand. and on the other a
leader seems likely to be chosen from the
list of men under popular discussion. At
the same time the suggestion is not infre-
quently heard that II is as true now. as

Mississippi Republicans.

1t IS a little droll to think OF republicans
voting in the Mississippi senatorial primary.
The charge Is made. They are few in num-
ber and 50 seldom have an opportunity to
vote for candidates of their own that this
opportunity to participate in a contest on
the other side must have been most tempt
ing. 1t is complimentary to them that they
suspected of having supported MI
Williams Doubtless they had the credit OF
the state at heart. and considered that as
they could not hope for man of their own
party in the Senate they should help select
worthy representative OF the opposition
Well, well, AS the late Brother Jasper Of
Richmond said of the sun. may it be said
of the world-it do move. If the repub-
licans of Mississippi have saved the state
from the 'hill-billies' and the red necks,"
let one be scored for them.

The Curse of Quantity.

Reports come from Chicago that the male
population of that city is dwindlng. 1t is
stated that serious alarm Is felt by the so
Ciologist there at work solving the prob
lens Of humanity. They are depicted as
experimenting a sort of Ada Eden in
the course of a few generations. They are
warning the men of Chicago to rush less. to
eat more slowly, to take life more easily
and TO do great many more things and to
avoid doing others. all in the interest Of
keeping up the male percentage of the pop
uiation.
The statistics adduced in support of this
contention are not sufficiently explicit or
complete to satisfy the public at large. The
country will positively refuse to join in the
alarm about the Windy city until it Is as
sured on a certain point AS has already
been urged in connection with the race
suicide" warning uttered in certain quar-
ter too high to be hastily mentioned the
real test of a population is quality rather
than quantity. Now 1t Is a painfully plain
fact that large number of the males of
Chicago distinctly to be classed with
the undesirable citizens" also exploited
from the high quarter previously men,
toned. Chicago might well AFFORD to lose a
great many males. 1t would doubtless
benefit largely from the deportation OF
twenty or thirty thousand selected speci-
mems.
Our cities love to grow big. They emu

Der to cause an apparent change of rank
Every city that has passed the 500, 900 point
aspires to reach the million mark. Every
city with a million at once undertakes to
score the two-milion point. New York is
today looking anxiousy forward to the day
when 1t Will show five million inhabitants.
If the municipalities of the United States
were to have set up standards of quality
rather than those of quantity a few decades
ago there would be less crime to record and
punish today. Look for moment at New
York, with its population of nearly If not
quite 100000, and its foreign-bor quota
of more than one-third the total Look at
its epidemic of crime now raging. its state
of panic, its inadequate police force, its
broken laws OF al! grades and kinds-in
short, its close approach to Generalization.
This state of affairs can be traced to the
one great evil, quantity. We have been
populat ton mad for years. We are begin
ming to realize our folly.

United States Supreme Court for reversal
on the ground that the fine Is violation of
the constitutional provision contained In the
eighth amendment, that excessive bail
shall not be required. nor excessive fines
imposed. nor cruel and unusual punish
rnents inflicted
Already the ground upon which the trust
will ella m that the me assessed by Judge
Lands is excessive has been disclosed. The
point Is advanced that the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana. the defendant of rec
ord in this case is capitalized at only
81. DCOoGO with assets of only i10.OGO.UoO.
and that it is a legal absurdity to fine
any corporation nearly thirty times Its cap
ital stock and nearly three times its as
sets. Against this point it has been urged
that the Indiana corporation Is merely
subsidiary of the New Jersey corporation.
the real Standard on" and that this fact
was demonstrated by the testimony of tho
trusts officers when they were finally hailed
TO the witness stand in Chicago.
Here arises an interesting and vitality i'm
portant point of law which is in truth at
the bottom of the whole trust problem.
How far is a parent corporation respon-
sihe for the misdecds OF its offspring or its
wards Can one corporation hold a major
main immune from all accountability in law
for the illegal actions of the subsidiary? Or
can the courts look beyond the title of
defendant and adjust punishment both to
the euormity of the uffense and to the abil-
ty of the real defendant to discharge the
obligation imposed?
In certain respects this point turns upon
the principle that would be involved in the
ability OF an Individual to pay "a fine pro-
vded the Individual were the majority
stakeholder of a delinquent corporation.
Provided the individuals personal
sources We're employed chiefly in other lines
than those OF the corporation controlled by
him. it would be exceedingly doubtful
whether his resources could be considered
in the equation. But in this case the corpo-
ration controlling the Indiana concern is in
talization of tire subsidiary corporation is
obviously a blind. Of no significance. 1t re-
fleets one of the twin evils of the day. that

Fear that the conference at The Hague

was never very reasonably founded. and
now there is 10 further excuse for it. Those
fervent souls who think the only proper
function of the conference is to resolve that
there shall be more soldiers and no more
war will doubtless be disappointed. But the

ing those who have complained that 1t was

must be convinced that the conference has

plished much practical good and that it is
now making encouraging progress toward
beneficent enactments, not only for miti-
eating the horrors of war. but also for
averting the occurrence of war.
