a PAPER TRUST VICTORY.

The Mann committee in congress.
which was appointed to postpone ac-
ton on the publishers petition for the
removal OF duty on print paper and
wood pulp has made its report. The
committee finds, as was expected, thar
it will need further time 10 investi-
gate the subject and that meanwhile
no action should be taken as TO the
duty The minority report advocates
the passage Of the Stevens bill for the
removal OF the duty.
No other action was anticipated,
and none was intended by Speaker
Cannon when he named the special
committee. The paper trust. which has
robbed the newspaper publishers sys-
tematlcally and scientifically with the
aid Of the tariff. is headed by staunch
Republicans. il owes its original or
ganization 70 the favors granted by a
Republican congress; and its wishes
are evidently Of more Importance "a

the welfare OF the publishers of the
country, including Republicans. who
appealed for relief from the extortions
OF the trust.

in favor OF the trust and although its
bias was well known from the start
even the Republican members could
not escape the conclusion that the evil
denee showed the existence of some
sort of agreement in restraint of

jority report is: The evidence before
the committee so far fails to prove any
combination of print paper manufac-
turers TO advance prices or otherwise

evidence was presented which might
excite suspicion that such eombina-
ton had been made and was in exist
ence."
While this conclusion is exceedingly
conservative. it is more of a concession
than was expected from the majority
Publishers who have had their profits
wiped out by arbitrary advances in
price of paper by the trust will regard
it as weak expression of condemna-
ton, an apology for extortion. but IL
shows how strong the evidence must
have been to induce Mann and his as
sociates TO note even the suspicion OF
a trust agreement.
The minority report makes very
fair statement OF the situation. 1t
notes that no satisfactory proof was
adduced TO show criminal agreement
among the manufacturers. but that
the publishers evidence showed a re-
markable uniformity of price and
trade action among the mills. uni
formity which was not explained by
the manufacturers. II shows, also,
that in the face OF reduced eonsump-
ton the mills advanced their prices so
high that Canadian paper makers were
able to sell in this country at profit,
despite the tariff against them
amounting to IS a ton. The advance
in American prices was altogether dis
proportionate TO the advance in labor
cost, although that had been the eN-
cuse advanced for the rise in price;
and Canadian labor in mills undersell-
ing American mills was as well paid as
on this side of the line. The conclusion
is that the tariff ought to be removed,
since the revenue from duty on paper
and wood imports was slight and the
tariff made possible the combinations
and monopoly which Cypress the
American publisher.
In view OF the fact that a majority
of the house members have been ready
for weeks 10 vote for the removal of
the duty. it is evident that the ruse to
secure delay by the action OF the Mann
committee has been entirely success
full. There viii be no action at this
session; and If the Republican party.
aided by campaign contributions from
the paper trust and other trusts. is
continued in power, there will be no
action at the next session of congress
or any other session where Republi-
cans are in control.
All of which offers an interesting
Illustration Of the practical workings
of the tariff as related TO the trusts.

old ENEMIES REcoNcILED.

Behind the very enthusiastic DEM
onstration over the French president
in England this week is a diplomatic
move OF great significance. Il marks
the final accomplishment Of a complete
understanding between France. Russia
and Great Britain that promises TO
counterbalance. if not TO isolate. the
activities of the German emperor and
the triple alliance, Germany, Austria
and Italy
II is conceded by the diplomats OF
the continent that il has been ac-
complished largely through the tact
and diplomacy Of King Edward, aided
in no small degree by the attitude of
Emperor William from the time he
sent Kruger the offensive message Of
sympathy during the Boer war, down
10 the Morocco conference. when he
virtually threatened to precipitate war
if France were permitted to have a
free hand in the pacifcation of the
Moors This, and the natural dislike
Of the English for their greatest com
brought about the entente between
Britain and France. who had been ma
turai enemies from the time of the
Georges and the American conflict.
Whether the new understanding in
cludes any Observation-Disclosures al
lance does not appear, nor would it
unless there were some occasion to dis
close such an agreement. which would
otherwise be kept secret. But wheth-
er il is or not, there is a certain pecu-
lies of Britain and Russia and France
on one side. while Britain and Japan
are openly pledged to mutual action in
case either is attacked by a third
power.
The next step. and one not so impos-
sible as might appear at first, would
be an understanding between. Japan
and Russia as to conditions in Asia
which would permit a delimitation of
spheres and division of territory to
their mutual advantage. That is all
that is needed to completely shut out
Germany from its ambition for terri
toriaI and commercial exploitation. No
single power or combination of powers
could hope 10 cope with the combined
rover of France and Britain and ia
ran on the seas. and no single power
or combination could so completely
dominate the fate Of Asia as to deter
mine IL absolutely
Only one contingency would remain
as an uncertain factor: if the japanese
and Russians, singly or together,
should encroach too far on China they
might discover that the new spirit of
nationalism among the Chinese has
become a power TO be reckoned with.
Once China is modernized and fused
into a national unit. IL may be doubted
whether any force that could be mus
tered would be able to conquer it.
Probably the new impulse toward
better understanding among the ma
tons will make for International
peace The interests of Great Britain
and France all lie that way: Russia
cannot afford war now; Japan, how

ever soldiers are buried. little compa-
MES of veterans will wend their way
to quiet hillsides and there pay tribute
10 the dead. There isn't anything
much finer in our national life than
this universal recognition, this loving
remembrance Of those who nave
passed across the river and are resting
under the shade Of the trees.
The custom has grown until il in
oludes all manner and condition Of
people They recognize Decorat ton

but OF all the loy ed ones whose life
work has been finished. On all the

Meath, even IN heaven il must be a joy
10 the departed 10 know they are re-
membered with these evidences of af-

In very recent years a holiday spirit
has grown up around Decoration day.
There are baseball games and bicycle
races, resort openings and special MAJ
inees in the theatres. The American
worker is entitled 10 his holiday when
ever he can get il. provided he earns his
recrea ton by honest work between
whites. We have no disposition 10
quarrel with his manner of celebrating
Decoration day. II is his to use as ne
pleases. Al the same time We cannot
help calling attention 10 the fact that
the day was never designed to be one
of sport and merrymaKng.
Ii is the one day in all the year that
should be given 10 .reverent remem-
brance. There are other days enough
for amusement. Decoration day, or
Memorial day, should be entered upon
in a sobereT spirit than that in which

most beautiful anniversaries on our
calendar.
