denying the Injunction, they ruled
that the court had declined to go
into the evidence, and determine
whether the new rate was confisca-

from the disadvantages and ruin of its own excesses and abuses. In a self governing country an appeal to any form of national governmental regu- lation is an appeal in effect to the peo- pie themselves. whose representatives the elected officials are The disposition to take more largely the public into the confidence of corporation plans is a peculiar factor entering into the general situation.
 While MT. Perkins is asking for reg ulation at the hands of the peoples servants, socialism is pushing the question farther still If the people in q selt-governing state are able to reg ulate. why may they not own the means of production, distribution and exchange and democratically organize and administer the industrial field thus extending the self-governing prin- ciple in which they have been long schooled in the political field?
 Mir. Perkins is a prophet when he says the next period should be a constructive ne-constructive as to the relations of the corporation to it's labor and to the public But what form this coming constructive period will take only time will reveal.

RIGHT, S0 TAR.

Prophet Johnson had a good mo- tion, or a good calculation when he announced that February would be the coldest month of the winter. As he made this announcement after De- cember and January had failed to produce much ice, and as March isn't often the coldest month, his sagacity stands conspicuously out. It has been abundantly, yea, even redundantly, vindicated so far Up to date Febru- ary has not only been the coldest month of the winter, but 1t has been cold enough to cut highly respect able figure in any winter with which dwellers in this region are acquainted It is not yet half through and if it continues as it has begun it's general average will be general enough and It's mean temperature win be mean enough. And it has twenty-nine days In 1t too.
 We'll, while revering the prophet and the prophets, let Us persist, even though we are reminded that during the early part of March the planets will be in position similar to that they were in at the time of the bliz- gard of 1888. Let us also be reminded that the planets will be posing around on the Fourth of July.

JUDGE GARy's TESTIMONY.

There are at least two sides to President Roosevelt, and there are at least two views that can be taken of his words and actions. One of them is that he made the panic by wild and wicked attacks on noble producers and distributors of wealth. Another is that what he has said and done has a right moral basis. and is therefore not to be contemptuously sniffed at Judge Gary, the head of the United States Steel Corporation, tho largest in
 lustrial corporation in the world, has given some testimony which indicates how the President has affected him and incidentally the great business of which Inc is the head. "I want to state" he says, that tho policy of the present administration whether if be criticised or praised, whether it's meth ods he regarded as satisfactory or un- satisfactory, has had great and per sonal influence on your president. who happens to occupy a position of great responsibility In making this personal application to myself l know that the rciteration of the oft-statcd princinlos of the President of tho United States has increased my feeling of responst- billty toward the stockholders I repre- sent, toward our competitors. toward business mon and towards the public. and that our relations have been inn proved. l don't hesitate to make this confession.

 It is true that the decision touches only interstate commerce. Still, the declaration of the principle involved is quite likely to influence the action of the various States in the matter. But as a matter of fact whether tho indi- vidual States shall or shall not hasti en 10 conform to the federal law as now interpreted, the fact remains that the boycott is practically forbidden In this country This Is so because all ma nufacturers do enter into interstate commerce. Unless tho boycott can be extended to all branches of the trade aimed at. 1t fails, To boycott a trade in one State and not in another Is to fail in effect Hence it may be said that the boycott as weapon of or ganized labor Is prohibited Trade and commerce will breathe moro freely be- cause of this decision.

FIRST PRINCIPLES.

In any discussion of legislation touching the direct primary question, which is likely to increase in interest as the days go by it should he dis tinctly kept in mind that it is a ie- storation; return to first principles belonging to a governing people Whenever any measure is undertaken that handicaps the free action of any portion of the people or permits of the introduction of clements that mar row the province of the regularly con stituted electors, the way is surely pay ed for the entrance of a brood of po- litical abuses
 Under the plan of prepared party caucuses and conventions there is practically no opportunity for grow ing community intelligence, which pre- to have that rightful influence and use of the elective franchise which it con additionally possesses, A strictly party manager plan of political action does not necessarily present the most intel ligent expression of a people, for the reason that there is always present the temptation to develop the boss into whose hands may be left the d. rection Of affairs By the direct prim- ary principle citizen is obliged to act on his own initiative He Is under bonds to think for himself rather than delegate this duty to another. The direct primary becomes therefore a valuable school in citizenship and ought never to have been lost Had it's exercise not been restrained and crippled it is very likely that great advance would have been made before this in the demonstration of democra- tic government.
