their employers; and their rights ia
strike, SO long as they act peaceably,
must be preserved But we should
sanction neither boycott nor back
list which would be illegal at common
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,
terest of the public. for in my iudg-
ment the American people have def
nitely made UP their minds that the
days of the reign of the great law-de-
flying and law-evading corporations
are over, and that from this time on
the mighty organizations of capital
necessary for the transaction of bust
ness under modern conditions, while
encouraged so long. as they act honest
ly and in the interest OF the general
public, are to be subjected to careful
supervision and regulation of a kind
so effective as to insure their acting
in the interest Of the people as a
whole.

is from every standpoint desirable
that each Of our citizens should en-
deavor by hard work and honorable
methods to secure for him and his
such competency as will carry
with 1t the opportunity to enjoy in
reasonable fashion the comforts and
refnements Of life; and furthermore.
the man of great business ability who
obtains a fortune in upright fashion
inevitably in SO doing confers bene-
mt upon the community as whole and
is entitled to reward, to respect, and
to admiration.
But among the many kinds of evil
social, industrial, and political-which
1t is our duty as nation sternly to
combat, there is none at the same time
more base and more dangerous than
the greed which treats the plain and
simple rules Of honesty with cynical
contempt if they interfere with MAX
ing profit. And as nation we cal,
not be held outlines If we condone
such action.
The man who breaches hatred of
wealth honestly acquired, who in.
culcates envy and jealousy and SLAM
derous ill-will toward those of his fell
lows who by thrift, energy and i'll
dustry have become men of means, is
menace to the community. But
his counterpart in evil is to be found
in that particular kind of multimil
liOnaire who Is almost the least enyia.
BILE, and is certainly one of the least
admirable, Of all our citizens man
of whom it has been well said that
his face has grown hard and crne
while his body has grown soft; whose
son Is a fool and his daughter a for
eign princess; whose nominal pleasures
are at best those Of a tasteless and
extra VACANT luxury, and whose reaI
delight, whose real life work, is the
accumulation and use of power in its
most sordid and least elevating form.
In the chaos of an absolutely un.
restricted comm ercial individualisn
under modern conditions this is type
that becomes prominent as inevitably
as the marauder baron became promi
inent in the physical chaos Of the darl
ages. We are striving for Legislation
10 minimize the abuses which give this
type it's flourishing prominence, partly
for the sake of what can be accom-
plished by the legislation itself, and
| partly because the legislation marks
i our participation in great and sterl
moral movement to bring our ideal.
and our conduct into measurable &C
cord.

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

President Gives His Views on Tha,
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-
tion would in all probability make the
bill unconstitutional. and the legisla-
ture has no more right to pass bill
without regard to whether it is consti
tutional than the courts have lightly
to declare unconstitutional a law
which the legislature has solemnly en-.
acted. The responsibility is as great
on the one side as on the other, and
an abuse Of power by 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 10
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
colt, 1t has left the field Of production.
and its action may plainly be In
restraint Of trade. and must necessari.
~ 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
ana to enter Into agreements with

BlaisdeIl Has the Grit.

Kenmare News: North Dakota is
after the Standard Oil Co. at last, and
our old friend Alfred Blaisdell is the
man who has grit enough to expose
this gigantic corporation and try to
bring it to realization of the fact
that we have laws in North Dakota
and they must be obeyed. We have
known our secretary of state for a
number Of years, and know that he is
law abiding, conscientious citizen
and believes in doing what is right.
He is the first state official that has
given, his personal attention to his
office. and is the first state official,
excepting Prof. Ladd, that has dared
to stand between the people and the
mighty corporations which are feec.
ing our people and disregarding our
laws.

great evils IN rne business world have
worked well, and they can now be en-
ployed to correct the evils that further
commercial growth has brought more
prominently to the surface. The pow.
ers and scope Of the interstate com
nerce commission, and of any sinila!
body-such as the bureau of corpora.
tions-which has to deal with the mat
ter in hand. should be greatly enlarged

DUAL CONTROL IMPOSSIBLE

Nation. Not State, Can Act Wisely
and Effectively.
The decisions Of the supreme court
in the Minnesota and North Carolina
eases illustrate how impossible IS 4
dual control of national commerce
The states can not control it. Ill
they can do is to control intrastate
commrce, and this now forms but a
small fraction of the commerce car
ried by the railroads through each
state. Actual experience has shown
that the effort at state control is sure
to be nullified in one way or another
sooner or later. The nation alone can
act with effectiveness and wisdom; it
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 in
grotesque absurdity.
This means that we must rely upon
national legislation to prevent the
commercial abuses that now exist and
the others that are sure to arise un.
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.
1t is can not act constructively; it can
only act negatively or destructively, a
an agency of government; and this
means that the courts are and must
always be unable to deal effectively
with problem like the present, whic.
requires constructive action. A court
can decide what is faulty, but 1t has
no power to make better what it thu!
finds to be faulty. There should bt
an efficient executive body created witt
power enough to correct abuses ant
| scope enough to work out the compile,
problems that this great country ha
developed. 1t is not sufficient obje2
ton to say that such body may b.
guilty Of unwisdom or of abuses. An!
governmental body, whether court Q
commission; whether executive, leg
islative or judicial; if given powe
enough to enable it to do effectiv
work for good must also inevitably re
ceive enough power to make it pos
sibly effective for evil.
Therefore it is clear that, (unless
national Incorporation law can u
! forthwith enacted) some body or bodie
in the executive service should be Civ
en- power to pass upon any combina
tion or agreement in relation to in
terstate commerce, and every sue
combination or agreement not thus az
! proved should be treated as in viola
ton of law and prosecuted according
| iy. The issuance of the securities O
any combination doing interstate bus
ness should be under supervision O
the national government
