unreasonable combinations.
Power should unquestionably be

branch of the government to permit
combinations which will further the

DUAL CONTROL IMPOSSIBLE
Nation, Not State, Can Act Wisel,
and Effectively.

Nation, Not State, Can Act Wisely
and Effectively.
The decisions Of the supreme court
in the Minnesota and North Carolina
cases illustrate how impossible is q
dual control of national commerce,
The states can not control it. All
they can do is to control intra state
commrce, and this now forms but a
small fraction of the commerce car.
rled by the railroads through each
state. Actual experience has shown
that the effort at state control is sure
to be nullifed in one way or another
sooner or later. The nation alone can
act with effectiveness and wisdom: if
should have the control both Of the
business and of the agent by which
the business is done; for any attempt
to separate this control must result III
grotesque absurdity.
This means that we must rely 11non
national legislation to prevent the
commercial abuses that now exist and
the others that are sure to arise uu
less some efficient governmental body
has adequate power of control over
them. At present the failure of the
congress to utilize and exercise the
great powers conferred upon it as re-
CARDS Interstate commerce leaves this
commerce to be regulated not by the
state nor yet by the congress, but by
the occasional and necessarily made
auate and one-sided action of the fed
eral judiciary.
However upright and able a court
1t is can not act constructively; it can
only act negatively or destructively, as
an agency of government; and this
means that the courts are and must
always be unable to deal effectively
with a problem like the present, which
requires constructive action. A court
can decide what is faulty, but it has
no power to make better what it thus
finds to be faulty. There should be
an efficient executive body created with
power enough to correct abuses and
scope enough to work cut the complex
problems that this great country has
developed. It is not sufficient objec-
tion to say that such a body may be
guilty Of unwisdom or of abuses. Any

and its action may plainly be in
restraint Of trade, and must necessari-
ly be subject to inquiry exactly as In
the case of any other combination for
the same purpose, SO as to determine
whether such action is contrary to
sound public policy. The heartiest en-
enlargement should be given to the
wage workers to form labor unions
and to enter into agreements with
their employers; and their rights ia

must be preserved. But we should
sanction neither a boycott nor a back

law.
The measures | advocate are in the
interest both of decent corporations
and of laW-abiding labor unions. They
are, moreover, pre-eminently in the in

ment the American people have def

AS TO LABOR IMMUNITY
President Gives His Views on That
Important Subject.

A strong effort has been made to
have labor organizations completely
exempted from any of the operations
of this law, whether or not their acts
are in restraint of trade. Such excep.
ton would in all probability make the
bill unconstitutional, and the legisla.
ture has no more right to pass a bill
without regard to whether it is consti.
tutional than the courts have, lightly
to declare unconstitutional a law
which the legislature b. solenn'y en-.
acted The -osno,,s- --..assss grear
on I'D, = d on the other, and
an abuse Of PoWeeEzDy the legislature
in one direction Is equally to be con-
demned with an abuse of power by the
courts in the other direction.
1t is not possible wholly to except
labor organizations from the workings
of this law, and they who insist upon
totally excepting them are merely pro-
viding that their status shall be kept
wholly unchanged. and that they shall
continue to be exposed to the action
which they now dread Obviously an
organization not formed for profit
should not be required to furnish
statistics in any way as complete as
those furnished by organizations for
profit. Moreover, so far as labor is
engaged in production only its claims to
be exempted from the antitrust law
are sound. This would substantially
cover the right of laborers to COM
bine, to strike peaceably, and to enter
into trade agreements with the EN-,
ployers.
But when labor undertakes in a
wrongful manner to prevent the dis
tribution and sale of the products of
labor. as by certain forms of the boy

NO TIME FOR FlLlBUSTERlNG.

1t is up to the city of Bemidii,
through its legally-constituted rep.
resentatives on the city council, to
provide adequate quarters for the
proper housing of the new company
of militia and the equipment belong
ing to the company. If this pro-
vision is not complied with, and at
once, this city stands an excellent
chance of losing the company, to-
gether with the $4,000 worth of
equipment and paraphernalia stored
here by the state.
There are several cities in the
state (including Hibbing) which
are very DESTROYS of securing a COM
pany of Minnesota state guards; and
they are offering all kinds of induce
ments for the companies, including
the erection of large, commodious
armories, Through the influence of
several local parties, the company
was secured for Bemidji in pref
enence to several other applicants,
among them being Theft River Pals
and Hibbing. Those instrumental
in getting the company assured the
adjutant general that ample quarters
would be provided, and the council
has gone on record, by resolution
prior to the fixing of the location of
the company, as being willing to
provide ample quarters.
This is no time for mincing
matters, nor for personal prejudice
or spite to be shown toward individ-
uals in the city. 1t is time for action
in this matter, and filibustering
tactics are a credit to no one who
attempts to obstruct and hinder the
carrying out of the intentions of
those who desire to properly care for
the company.
No militia company in the state
has a finer equipment than Bemidji;
and with fine candidates for the
company, it is no boast that we will
have company that will be a credit
to Bemidji. So let the council do
its duty.

DISCUSSES THE INJUNCTION
Recommendations as to Change
in Procedure.

Recommendations as to a Change
in Procedure.
First, as to the power Of injunction
and of punishment for contempt. In
contempt cases, save where irlnedi-
ate action is imperative, the trial
should be before another judge. AS
regards injunctions, some such legis-
}ation as that l have previously req
ommended should be enacted. They
are blind who fail to realize the ex-
IRENE bitterness caused among larg>
bodies of worthy citizens by the use
that has teen repeatedly made of the
power Of Injunction in labor disputes.
Those In whose judgment we have
most right to trust are of the opinion
that while much Of the complaint
against the use of the Injunction is
tionably true that in a number OF
cases this power has been used to the
grave injury of the rights of laboring
men.
ask that it be limited in some such
way as that ! have already pointed
out in my previous messages, for the
very reason that do not wish to see
an embittered effort made to destroy
1t. It is unwise stubbornly to refuse
to provide against repetition Of the
abuses which have caused unrest. III
democracy like ours is idle to ex-
pect permanently to thwart the de-
termination Of the great body Of our
citizens.
1t may DO, and often is, the highest
duty of court, q legislature, or an
executive, to resist and defy a gust Of
popular passions, and most certainly
no public servant, whatever may lie
the consequences to himself, should
yield to what he thinks wrong. But
In question Which is emphatical!y
one OF public policy the policy which
the public demands is sure in the end
to be adopted; and persistent refusal
to grant to large portion Of our peo-
pie what is right is only too apt in the
end to result in causing such irrita-
ton that when the right is obtained it

THE PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE CHARGE.

The appeal made to the council
Monday evening for aid for the
local G. A. R. post in properly observ-
ing Memorial day met with the
proper response from the council
men, and is indicative of the spirit of
loyalty and patriotism that pervades
the people of Bemidji.
The Pioneer believes, however,
that the people of the city should 60
further in assisting the veterans in
the observance of the day they hold
most dear in all the year. The
time is rapidly approaching when
the grand old men who so nobly
thrust themselves to the front in
time of danger to save their country
from disruption will be COMPARE
lively helpless, and only a shadow
of the staunch throng of '65 will be
lett to tell the story of those trying
days of the civil war. Each year
the ranks are thinned, and each sue
ceeding twelvemonth weakens those
who remain, and in few years it
will be the duty of the loyal citizens
of the United States to take over all
the arrangements of the observance
of Memorial day, in order that the
veterans and their wives may partici-
pate.
The public should join heartily in
removing from the cares and troubles
of the grand old fellows and their
faithful helpmates the preparations
for Memorial day; let the citizens
arrange simple yet impressive exer-
else, paying all the necessary
expenses, and be amply repaid in
the honor of the presence of the
remaining members of the staunch,
brave men who saved the country
from dismemberment.
