A MiSconception.

In the revived discussion of the
futility of antitrust prosecutions,
we suspect that a good many people
miss the point when they urge that
the Northern Securities prosecution
accomplished no good because it
did not restore competition between
the Burlington, Northern Pacific,
and Great Northern.
Competition has not been restored,
il is true; James j. Hill still domi-
mates all three roads as completely
as if he were still president of a
holding company owning all three.
But yet there is a difference.
Mr.. Hill dominates the three sys-
tens, not by reason of ownership Of
a majority of the shares of each,
but because he is a great power in
the world of finance. He enjoys the
confidence of the shareholders to
whom for many years, in prosperity
and in panic. in good repute and
bad, he has paid dividends regularly
and of cheering volume. IL is not
possible for a courts decree to wipe
out this confidence. Shareholders
freely send him their proxies, or
vote their stock for continuance Of
his management.
But that management can only
continue while Mr.. Hill lives and con-
tinues in business. When he passes
away the control which now centers
in him will end. It will be practi-
cally impossible for all the share
holders Immediately to discover
another man in whom they can re-
pose the same confidence they have
given to him; and sooner or later
in all probability and in the light
of all experience, the Northern Paci-
fic and Great Northern will be pried
apart; and their separation will III
timately result in the splitting of
of the Burlington.
h Under the holding company plan
be control was in corporation en-
bwed with Immortality. 1t was
tain to outlive any one man. The
rence, then, between the domi-
p of man, who is mortal, and
|of corporation, which goes
brewer, is what has been ac-
lished by the breaking down
e holding company plan. Also,
Gndefinite expansion of a hold
company's interests might easily
ave been carried TO the point
where half the roads in the country
would have been under one con,
troll; while the outlawing of this
plan has added to the difficulty OF
expanding particular systems.

approaches to Suez, so it is needful
that we should control the APP
proaches to Panama
In the West Indies we have be-
come so comfortably paramount
that the problem of the canal ap-
proaches from the Atlantic need not
give much concern. But on the Pa
cific side we are not so well situated.
1t is of the greatest Importance
that within striking distance of the
canal we have great naval base.
Better yet, we should have two of
them, one along the Mexican coast
and another near the shoulder of
South America.
Considered in this light, the full
meaning of the reported overtures
of this Government to Mexico for
cessiOn of Magdalena bay, on the
southern section of Lower Califor-
mia, becomes apparent. The United
States needs more than a safe and
accessible harbor for a great feet
during the coming visit of the bat
tleship armament. 1t needs at just
such a location a naval establish
ment of the first rank. from which a
great feet can watch both the canal
and our own Pacific coast. 1t is not
unlikely that the acquisition of Mag
dalena bay viii assure these in the
not distant future.
Beyond this. the obligations of the
United States to South America. in
the maintenance of the Monroe Doc
trine, make il important that this
country should stand in the same
relation to the southern point of
South America that England's pos,
session of the Cape gives her to
Africa We should control Magellan
and the Eorn. and manifest destiny
is fast marching 10 that consumma
ton.

Mexico and the United States.

England is the owner of the
worlds gateways, and it is in great
part to this that she owes her
power. Her navy is presumed to be
equal in fighting force to any two
others afloat; but her control of the
great terminals on the highways of
world travel adds so per cent to
this, and her own insular position
another so per cent. How much is,
in turn, deducted from this total by
the necessity of defending an empire
scattered to every continent and the
islands of every sea is matter of
opinion. Under conditions of mod
ern war Britain has had but one
reminder of how serious is this
weakness; but the Beers made that
reminder an emphatic one.
The United States has done too
little of the business of securing
control of the Gibraltars, the Singa-
pores, the Maltas, and the Adens of
the western world. True, in recent
years, we have strengthened our
posture in the Paciic-or some will
say we have weakened it-by pos
