Copies of the Norfolk (Va.) Ledger.

their rights to proceed against a cor
poration and against an individual, of
necessity cannot be enforced without
the appearance Of favoritism.
An Instance Sited.
Take, for instance, the case against
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern company, called the North
ern Securities case. In that case the
government proceeded against the
corporation and not against the indi-
vidual.
The Packers Case.
In the case of the packers, it pro-
ceeded against the individual as we'll
as the corporation, and it found itself
in that particular case announcing
through one department, the depart
ment of commerce, that the business
was not a monopoly and conducted at
a reasonable profit, and through anoth-
er department, the department of
Justice, at the same time, seeking to
put the owners of the business in tn.
Jail as public malefactors.
Public Sentiment.
Other instances could be cited of
the inevitable distinctions which must
be made under the prosecution of IN.
%dividuals and corporations under an
Indefinite law. Public sentiment will
not sustain certain prosecutions of
people who are innocent, whose cor.
porations or whose agreements in re.
straint OF trade or whose attitude tc.
ward the public inevitably create I'D.
on the public mind the reputation of
usefulness to The public.
Some Influence Felt.
ut is difficult to convict these men
of necessity. 1t will influence in some
degree Il has influenced in some de.
gree, as every one can see, the attitude
OF the department of justice.
Some Objectionable Laws.
Now, we should not have any law
In the United States which is not sus
ceptlble OF general and fair enforce
ment, and every law upon our statute
books which is not susceptible of gen.
eral enforcement Injuries all law.
The Good n Bad Kind.
There must be provided in some
way a preliminary consideration of
trade agreements in their relation to
the public, whether the agreements
are in restraint of trade or not, and
then if tley are either not harmful to
or for the benefit of the public they
must be sanctioned and upheld. II
they are found to be detrimental then
they must be forbidden and if consum.
mated after that, punished"

meeting today of the members of the
Pittsburg stock exchange, it was de-
cided not to reopen for business today.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 24.-Delegates to
the National Civic federation today
were eagerly discussing the remarks
made at the meeting last night by
Charles G. Dawes, ex-comptroller of
the currency. Dawes made a sharp
justice, virtually charging the officers
of the attorney general with making
gallery plays" He said in part:
Tried First in Newspapers.
Il cannot say that it is intentional
on the part of the department of jus
tice, but some of its actions look re.
markedly as if favorit;sm was beinl
displayed in the selection Of the com.
binations to be investigated and in
the manner of attack. 1t is remark
able that the cases handled by the de,
partment Of justice always are tried
in the newspapers before they get in
to courts He then entered upon a
defense of the %financiers Of New York,
work for the whole country, the value
of which is hard to estimate. 'They
are seeking" he said, ito uphold the
credit upon which prosperity rests
In conclusion, Dawes urged the
amendment of the Sherman antitrust
law SO as to avoid the implication
that all the combines are of a criminal
character and to more specially indi-
cate which are criminal.
