Tonight The Royal Gazette" published an
imperial order in council made Under the au-
thority of an imperial act Of 1919. following the
treaty between the two countries the year pre-
viously The order in effect suspends several
sections of the foreign fishing vessels act passed
by the Newfoundland government in 1905. and
affects the bait act passed by the Legislature
in the same year.
The ST Johns Telegram, the organ OF Sir
Robert Bonds government. describes the order
in council as outrageous" and says that the
Colonial Cabinet refused 10 participate in pub
fishing this order. The Telegram" says that
the explanation for the order in council is that
last years modus vivendi arranged by the Brit

sort to an old British act for the purpose o.
sanctioning the modus vivendi of 1907

Those who deny Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
sponsibility for the present disastrous
reaction in business are either ignorant
or insincere. For when Roosevelt ap-
piled to Hartman for campaign funds
and surrendered to the trusts on the
tariff question he undoubtedly invited
disaster, while pretending to be averse,
to It. His freakish and futile verbal;
attacks on prominent f1nancfers and his
hollow shriekings about the Criminal
rich' and "malefactors OF great
wealth." while serving that class to
his utmost by supporting their monop-
oily of the markets Of the country and
granting them Immunity for, their
crimes, have helped to destroy conf
dence, not only in the Industrial, COM
mercial and financial institutions Of the
country, but in the judicial and ex-
,ecutive branches Of the government. II.
what he says Is true, these ..malefac-
tors Of great wealth" should be in jail.
And this fact.is reflection upon Mr.
Rooseyelt's Attorney General and per-
w
have been largely appointed by Mr..
Roosevelt himself. 1t is a rotten con-
dition of affairs which allows rich Grim
inals or wealthy malefactors to 70 on
from year to year plying their nefari-
Gus trades. On the other hand, If the
Presidents oft-repeated wholesale
charges are not true, he ia very dan
gerous calumniator and wholly i'm
proper person to be at the head Of the
government. From whatever point Of
view the situation may be regarded,
Mr.. Roosevelt is, more than any other
man, responsible for 1t. Much that he
has said is, no doubt, true; but nothing
that he has done has been effective in
stopping or Furnishing the evils OF. cor
!rupt corporations or the law-breaklng
of malefactors of great wealth.

Explanation. Needed.

Mr.. Roosevelt's recent letter to Sec
retary Cortelyou, congratulating the
latter on his wonderful adroitness In
bringing order out Of the financial
choas, which, by the way, he had only
aggravated, and also congratulating
the captains OF finance. Rockefeller and
Morgan, for their share In the work, re-
minds one of the old hoax perpetuated
by Mr.. Roosevelt with the aid of Phil
ander Knox and other gentlemen Of
that ilk. A little while ago the presi-
dent was railing at the criminal rich
and threatening Rockefelley with ami
hilation. But all this is changed, and
the tactics of 1904 resumed. 1t is well,
therefore, to refresh our memories by
reference to the history Of that period,
lest we forget, and misjudge the presl-
dent
That Mr.. Knox in his Philadelphia
speech, said the New York World In
1904 succeeded in framing an excep-
tionally able brief in behalf Of lis dis
tingulshed client the president, must
be admitted; but even in his glorIfica-
tlon Of Mr.. Roosevelt's antitrust record
much remains to be explained.
Mr.. Knox did not explain why after
6s5 days of supposed Investigation of
corporations by Mr.. Riosevelts Bureau
of Corporations, there has not been n
single word of that publicity in the
interest Of the public" for which Mr..
Roosevelt has been clamorlng and
which Congress enacted legislation to
obtain.
He did not explain why $4,000 of a
$5OO,OOO fund appropriated to enforce
the antitrust and interstate commerce
laws has been lying idle in the United
States treasurysfor 5s5 days.
He did not explain his removal from
the cabinet to the United States senate
and the extraordinary Encouragement
of that cabinet for the obvious purpose
of placating corporations.
He did not explain why Mr.. Cortel-
you, after learning from "diligent in
yestigatlon" the secrets of the great
corporations. was made chairman of
the Republican national committee, to
collect campaign tolls from these very
sane corporations.

state Right. Upheld.

A very important railroad case was
decided by the Supreme Court of the
United States on Nov. 4. The point in
dispute was whether law of Massa-
chusetts requiring interstate electric
railroads to transport school children
for half the regular fare violated the
Constitution of the United States. The
Massachusetts courts had decided 1t
did not; and the United States Supreme
Court affirmed that decision. The case
was that Of the Interstate Consolidated
Street Railway Company, plaintiff in
error, vs.. The Commonwealth Of Mas
sachusetts. The opinion of the court
was delivered by Justice Holmes, and
Justice Harlan read concurring opin-
ion. There was no dissenting opinion.
This decision foreshadows the action of
the court in the North Carolina and
Minnesota cases, in which, the right Of
a State to control fares and. freight
rates Is involved.
