The Big Stick.

Our opponents have recently been bitterly criticising the two judges re- ferred to in the accompanying commun- ications from the Standard Oil compnv and the Santa Fe railroad for having imposed heavy fines on these two cor porations, and yet these same critics of these two judges exhaust themselves in denouncing the most respectful and cautious discussion of the official action of judge which results in immunity to powerful and wealthy wrongdoers.
 Most certainly it behooves us all to treat with the utmost respect the high office of judge: and our judges as d whole are brave and upright men. Re spect for the law must go hand in hand with respect for judges; and, as a

permitted to shroud from our eyes the glorious future of the nation; but be- cause of this very fact 1t behoOves us never to swerve from our reSolute pur- pose to cut out wrongdoing and uphold what is right.
 l do not for a moment believe thatl the actions of this administration haveI brought on business distress; so far asl this is due to local and not world wideI causes, and to the actions of any par-I ticular individuals. 1t is dueto the spec-| ulative folly and fragrant dishonesty oil few men of great wealth. who seekI to shield themselves from the effects of| their own wrongdoing by ascribing itsI results to the actions of those who havs| sought to put a stop to the wrongdoing.I But if 1t were true that to cut out rot ; tenness from the body polite meant a
 momentary check to an unhealthy seeming prosperity.,I should not fo4 one moment hesitate to put the knife td the corruption. On behalf of all oufE people, op behalf no less of the honest
 man of means than of the honest malt who earns his days livelihood by tho( days sweat of his brow, it is necessarys to insist upon honestly in business and
 politics alike, in all walks of life, irs big things and in little things: uport l just and fair dealing as between mari and man.

Limited Traffic Contracts.

In this connection I desire to repeat my recommendation that railways be permitted to form traffic associations for the purpose of conferring about and agreeing upon rates, regulations. and practices affecting interstate bus mess in which the members of the association are mutually interested
 This does not mean that they should
 be given the right to pool their earn
 ings or their traffic The law requires that rates shall be so adjusted as not to discriminate between individuals. To-
 calities, or different species of traffic Ordinarily, rates by all competing lines
 must be the same. As applied to prac-
 tical conditions, the railway opera tions of this country cannot be con-
 ducted according to law without what is equivalent to conference and agree
 ment. The articles under which such
 associations operate should he approv- ed by the commission; all their oper- ations should be open to public inspec- 1 tion; and the rates. regulations, and 1 practices upon which they agree should be subject to disapproval bv | the commission
 1 I urge this last provision with the same earnestness that l do the others i This country provides its railway fa- ! cilities by private capital. Those facili- | ties will not be adequate unless the capital employed is assured of just treatment and an adequate return. In l fixing the charges of our railroads.
 I believe that. considering the inter-
 ests of the public alone, it is better to
The morning journal-courier., 1908-02-01

allow to liberal rather than too scan- ty earnings, for, otherwise, there is grave danger that our railway develop ment may not keep pace with the de- mand for transportation. But the fun damental idea that these railways are public highways must be recognized, and they must be open to the whole public upon equal terms and upon req sonable terms.
 In reference to the Sherman anti trust law, l repeat the recommenda- tions made in my message at the opening of the present congress, as well as in my message to the previous congress. The attempt in this law to provide in sweeping terms against all combinations of whatever character, If technically in restraint of trade as such restraint has been defined by the courts, must necessarily be either fu- tile or mischievous, and sometimes both. The present law makes some combinations Illegal, although they may be useful to the country. On the other hand, as to some huge com binations which are both noXious and illegal, even if the action undertaken against them under the law by the government Is successful the result may be to work but minimum bene- fit to the public. Even though the combination be broken up and small measure of reform thereby produced, the real good aimed at cannot be ob- tained, for such real good can come only by a thorough and continuing supervision over the acts of the com bination in all its parts, so as to pre- vent stock watering, improper forms of competition, and, in short, wrongdoina generally. The law should correct that portion of the Sherman act which prohibits all combinations of the char acter above described, whether they l be reasonable or unreasonable; but l this should be done only as part of g general scheme to provide for this ef- fective and thoroughgoing supervision
 by the national government of all tn, operations of the big interstate busi. ness concerns.

Wall Street Gambling,

do not know whether it is possible,
 but if possible, it is certainly desirable
 that in connection with measures to
 restrain stock watering and overcap-
 italization there should be measures
 taken to present at least the grosser forms of gambling in securities and
 commodities, such as making large
 sales of what men do not possess and
 "cornering" the market. Legitimate purchases of commodities and of stocks and securities for investment have no connection whatever with purchases of stocks or other securities or commodities on a margin for spec ulative and gambling purposes There is no moral difference between gambling at cards or in lotteries or on the race track and gambling in the stock market One measure is just as pernicious to the body polite as the other in kind, and in degree the evil worked is far greater. But 1t is far more difficult subject with which to deal The great bulk of the business transacted on the exchange is not only legitimate, but is necessary to the working of our modern industrial sys- tenn, and extreme care should have to be taken not to interfere with this business in doing away with the bucket shop" type of operation. We should study both the successes and the failures of foreign legislators who, notably in Germany, have worked along this line. so as not to do any thing harmful Moreover there is a special difficulty in dealing with this matter by the federal governments in a federal republic like ours. But if it is possible to devise a way to deal with it the effort should be made. even if only in cautious and tentative way. It would seem that the federal government could at least act by for bidding the use of the mails, telegraph
 and telephone wires for mere gamb- ling in stocks and futures, just as il

As vice-president, Mr.. Sherman
will be presiding officer of the SEN
ate, but he will have no vote. except
In case Of a tie, and such occasions
are very rare. Neither will he have
any say in the organization Of, the
senate, the naming of committees or
the selection OF chairman. He will
not be a member of the steering COM
mittee which maps out the work of
the senate, nor will ne be admitted
to the Inner circle" which has long
been powerful though not recog-
nized body of the senate. He will be
an outsider from first to last, and he
will always be treated as an out slider.
When policies of administration are
being formed, Sherman will not be
one Of the men to assist the president,
unless, in advance, he utterly and alb
solutely renounces his old alliances
and pledges his unqualified support
to Taft and the recognized powers
of the administration. But in all
this Mr.. Sherman will be merely fol-
lowing precedent, tramping along in
the footsteps of his elongated prede-
cessor. He knew this when he first
announced himself as a candidate for
the vice-presidential nomination, and
he will not be disappointed

New Yorker Cipher on the

tlvity,

Republican campaign managers do
not expect to receive much assist
ance in the campaign this fall from
James s. Sherman, nominee for vice.
president. Sherman's health, though
It may improve, will hardly permit
him to make a strenuous campaign,
and It Is more than likely that the
Utica man will not be heard out side
of his own state, If at ALL The fact
is that the republican leaders are
awakening to the fact that the Sc
lection of Sherman was not particu-
larly bright piece of work on the part
of the republican national conven-
tion, even from the viewpoint Of the
anti-Roosevelt crowd, who manipu-
for Taft. Sherman, in his present
physical condition. can not even rep
resent his wing of the party in way
to attract particular notice.
II the republican ticket is elected,
and Sherman regains his health, he
will not, as has been predicted in
some quarters become an obstruction
ist in the path of the administration;
he will not be in a position where he
can interfere. Sherman can do no
more to annoy Taft than Fairbanks
has been able to obstruct the politics
of Roosevelt, and throughout the
present administration Fairbanks has
left not the falntest impress upon
legislation or upon the other achieve
ments of Mr.. Roosevelt and his party.
Fairbanks. like other vice-presidents,
has presided over the senate, but has
had no voice In shaping or carrying
out politics, and careful review of
past events will fail to show that
Fairbanks either antagonized or aided
the president. so It will be with
Sherman.
