BY a new construction of the
Federal nine-hour law as regards
operators employed by railroads,
it is found that at one-man off,
ces an operator can be assigned
to twelve hour trick during
any portion of the twenty four
hour period. Under this arrange
ment the Santa Fe has reduced
the number of operators employ
ed at three or four of their
stations on this division during
the past week making them one
man stations instead of having
them open continuously with
three operators as has been the
case since March 4th last. The
offices affected are Wingate,
Chambers, and Adamana, each
station now having but one ope-
ratOr.

depart from the letter of the law in this

depart from the letter Of the law in this
manner.
Few thought at the time the fine was
imposed that it would ever stand the test
of appeal for there was no precedent for
considering each carload as constituting a
distinct offense punishable by maximum
fine. The Court of Appeals rules that
each settlement shall be considered as a
distinct offense. on which basis the maxi
mum fine assessable against the corpora
ton would be $4,000 instead OF $50, 24O.-
600. Again the thought occurs that Judge
Lands was in his rulipg expressing the
long repressed feeling of the people that
the offense called for drastic punishment.
In this again he erred. in the judgment of
the Court of Appeals and doubtless In the
judgment of the majoriy Of citizens.
Finally. Judge Lands was In error re-
garding the responsibility for the cited Of
lenses of the Standard Oil Company Of
New Jersey. the parent corporation. The
trial judge gave expression to the popular
belief that the punishment should be Wis
tied upon the body of ultimate responsible
ity and in his decision to this effect he
was merely voicing the belief that the
present system of interpretations is I'M
wholesome and inimical to the public well
fare. If there is one distinct fault in the
financial organization of the industrial
world today it is that of multiple corpo-
ration forms, leading to a shifting of ac-
countability. But again Judge Lands was
in error in putting into the form Of jul
dicial decision a public sentiment regard
ing great evil. contrary to the letter and
spirit of the statutes.
1t is plain from the Court of Appeals
decision that the country is in urgent need
of more clearly dennitive legislation, to
prescribe the rights and to note t., ooli-
cations of the corporations controlling the
business of the country. The antitrust
laws are far from perfection, but in the
light of the court activities of the past few
years the process of bringing them closer
to that point should be materially facili-
tated. Certainly Judge Lands decision,
though overruled in such overwhelming
terms of rebuke, has served it's purpose in
calling attention to the fragrant manner
in which the laws of business as well as
the statutory laws have been violated and
twisted to improper ends in the past.

The President on the Navy.

The Presidents speech at the Naval
War College yesterday was in the key OF
popular comprehension. and will be in
dorsed by popular sentiment. He disap-
pointed those critics who had made merry
at hi expense. He did not undertake r"
teach his grandmother how to suck eggs
He did not present the spectacle of
landlubber instructing educated sailors IN
technical matters of their profession.
What he said was of general import, and
was we'll said. Sailors and landlubbers
alike will read his words with pleasure.
Mr. Roosevelt has a just scorn' of that
idea of navy which would limit its
services to coast patrol. He wants
force large and strong enough to hunt
the enemy and give him battle in his
own waters if necessary. Other pro-
visions should be made for protecting
the coast. Fighting ships. the President
holds, should be free to go at the word of
command anywhere an aggressive pro-
gram in time of war may advise.
This is the popular view. All that
Congress so far has done has been shaped
by this contention. and all now on the
cards is in line with 1t. In other words,
Mr.. Roosevelt declares for keeping the
navy up to the mark of a real naval
service. Plenty of first-class ships of the
different patterns for first-class duty.
There is no echo or suggestion here of
the Hobson alarm. The President sees no
war cloud on the horizon. He Is not ad-
vising doing a given thing at a given
time to meet definite emergency. We
are in good trim now and he only asks
that We keep SO. increasing our sea
power as both our near and our distant
interests and responsibilities increase.
Preparedness is the sum and substance
of his address
While Mr.. Roosevelt was speaking yes
terday at Newport. a powerful British
fighting machine bearing the heir to the
British throne dropped anchor in the
waters Of Quebec. 1t is described as a
great piece of marine architecture, and
the admiration of sailors. 1t is the prod
uct of a power which must keep itself
strong on the sea. We are friendly with
that power, and hope to remain so, but
we may learn from it our duty to our
selves. We too should have the best, and
plenty Of it, in order that if trouble comes
with anybody in any quarter at any time
we may be fully prepared.

New York.

What is the matter with New York?
And to this question there are several
answers. But nobody doubts that some
thing is the matter
AT Chicago the greatest of the states
performed but small part. The interests
of Gov. Hughes were in hands SO hostile
that even hardened politicians wondered
at the arrangement. An excellent man
was Inundated by those unworthy to un-
tie his shoes. Mr.. Sherman's nomination
was less concession to New York than a
confession of the weakness Of the field
of candidates. With Gov. Hughes and
Mr.. Fairbanks out of the calculation, the
contest narrowed down between New
York and Iowa, with the latter handi-
capped by divisions. Had Gov Cummins
had united home support he would have
won.
At Denver the situation was even
worse. Tammany was the representative
New York power there. with Charles F.
Murphy in charge. AT heart ti-Bryan,
Tammany was yet afraid to take the
field against the peerless leader. 1t had
no candidate of its own-not even a can
didate for second place. 1t backed and
filled from the day of arrival. At last,
after the Bryanites in the Guffey contest
and in other matters had shown what
they could do, the Tiger curled its tail be-
tween its legs and crept into the Bryan
bandwagon. Judge Parker, with his
Cleveland resolutions, was quite lost in
the shuttle.
Is there room to wonder that the coun-
try is talking, and that here and there
an opinion is expressed that in future
both parties will try to keep away from
New York? The state. it is charged, is
given over so completely and 50 pros
perousy to money-making that everything
there has become subordinate to the local
dollar. Democrats and republicans ex-
change favors without scruple in party
contests. Party names go for nothing in
money emergencies. Republicans SUBJ
scribe to democratic campaign funds. and
vice versa. Republican leaders are in
the employ of democratic capitalists, and
vice versa. Neither things nor people are
what they SEEM.
The result is that today the west Is
dominating the democratic party, and the
west and the middle states the republican
party. Both parties have turned from
New. York. where neither is assured Of a
square deal on national questions. Will
they stay away? Probably-at least until
new men have appeared on the scene and
shown some of the breadth and indepen-
dence which once characterized the New
York political leadership.

Business Upward Trend
rom the Boston Transcript

rom the BOSTON 1rduecTipt.
While 1t Is easy to exaggerate the ex-
tent of the business revival-and reasons
of policy for doing so are rarely absent
it is clear that the whole trend Of COM
mercial America is toward better times.
Crop reports in the great agricultural
sections of the country are almost uni
formly favorable. Europe's demand for
the American excess of foodstuffs prom
ises to be maintained at good figures
These are conditions which inevitably
make business for the railroads. Already
their number of Idle freight cars has
shown material shrinkage. The shelves
Of the retailers Of manufactured goods
have become comparatively empty. The
money scarcity last autumn led to con-
servative buying. 1t is now time to fill
up again. Cash is piling up in the vaults
of the banks to an extent which accounts
in considerable part for the recent rise in
the stock market, eliminating in yester-
days substantial advance. No fear need
be felt Of any money stringency during
the crop-moving season this year which
would require recourse either to the Aid
rich or the Vreeland end of the new cur
rency bill. To an unusual extent, for SO
early in q presidential campaign, the
country seems to be taking republican
success for granted, and to be proceed
ing in its business recovery on this basis.

were many instances Of handbag stealing
in the streets. These crimes were at
tributed to idle negroes and doubtless
most Of them were committed by that
class OF offenders. In practically no
case. however. was anything more serious
than robbery attempted. Women were
the victims because they persisted in
carrying their purses openly in their
hands and thus invited the attentions of
the footpads.
1t is far from the fact to describe
Washington as suffering from crime
outbreak at present. There are no more
than the normal number Of midsummer
tragedies and casualties. and. this late
case Of brutality stands as a conspicuous
exception to the rule.

The Overriding Of Judge Lands.

Judge Lands decision in the Standard
Oil rebating case. which was reversed YES
terday by the United States Court of Ap-
peals at Chicago, was regarded at the
time of its rendition as an extraordinary
expression by the judiciary of the POPULAR
feeling that something had to be done to
curb the great corporations in their oper-
atoms against the common interest.
Viewed in that light it was less legal de-
cision than statement of sentiment and
it is in no degree surprising that the Court
of Appeals has set 1t aside unanimously
and emphatically, employing language
which finds few presidents for severity in
the history of Jurisprudence
The finding of the Court Of Appeals is
undeniably good law. just as Judge Lam
dis decision was bad law. Nevertheless
the sentiment undoubtedly today prevails
throughout the country, even in the light
OF the clear language Of the Court of Ap-
peals. that there was some moral If not
lega, justification for Judge Lands
now reversed processes of reasoning He
ruled first that it mattered not whether
the officials Of the Standard Oil Company
Of Indiana knew the legal rate to be 8 or
IL cents. basing his action upon the theory
that the sole question was whether the
rate was 9 or IS cents and whether the
rate paid was or was not legal. The Court
of Appeals rules that the defendant should
have been given the opportunity to DEM
onstrate its understanding Of what was in
fact the legal rate at the time. On this
point Judge Lands was doubtless ex-
pressing the popular belief that the re-
bate-accspting corporations are never in
the dark regarding the lawful rates and
that during the period Of unpublished re-
batting they were not only the conscious
recipients but the deliberate seekers Of
extraordinary favors over small shippers.
1t is of course improper for the court to

Castro Continues to Quarrel.

President Castro Of Venezuela is rap
idly narrowing the circle of his diplomatic
relations. Having offended the United
States so seriously that this government
withdrew its representative at Caracas,
the peppery president has now expelled
the Dutch minister from his country, de-
claring that he is incompetent to serve
as friendly medium of communications
1t remains to be seen whether this action
will result in the cutting Of all diplomatic
relations with Holland. The government
at The Hague is not likely it is believed,
TO accept Castro's rejection of its repre-
sentative calmly. for the present under
standing is that Minister de Reus acted
in the matter which gave rise to the crisis
with the full knowledge and approval of
his government.
Trouble has arisen between England
and Venezuela eliminating at present in
the calling home to England of the man
ager of certain British companies whose
concessions have been revoked by presi-
Dental decree. This indicates that the
companies have placed their claims in
the hands of the British government and
action from London Is expected. There
are now serious controversies between
Venezuela on the one hand and the
United States, Holland, France, Colom-
bia, Great Britain and Italy. 1t is noted
that Germany has not thus far become
involved in the eccentricities of the Cas-
tro regime, and the question has arisen
whether this is due to a deliberate policy
at Berlir. 1t would be by no means I'M
likely If the German government were to
cultivate assidnously the good will Of
Castro for political reasons. 1t would be
quite consistent for Germany, which is
now practically the only friend of Turkey.

of the sultan's western counterpart, the
