GOVERNMENT BY pENUNcIATIoN

The Constitution of the United States
commands the president to take care
that the laws are faithfully executed. "
In directing the attorney general to con-
suit with Frank B. Kellogg and take
immediate steps for the retrial of the
Standard Oil case, Mr.. Roosevelt is only
performing his constitutional duty and
fulfilling his oath of office. There is
no occasion for Mysteries or for more
government by denunciation.
Mr.. Roosevelt declares in an official
statement that There is absolutely no
question of the guilt of the defend
ants This is not for him to say. 1t
is not for any chief executive to say.
He is not the trial court. He is not
the judge. He is not the jury. He has
no more right to adjudge the Standard
Oil company guilty than he had to adj
judge Meyer and Haywood guilty, what
ever his personal opinions may be. He
is speaking not as Theodore Roosevelt
but as president of the United States.
Mr.. Roosevelt's statement is an uu-
dignifed, offensive, partisan political
document issued as an appeal to the
anti-corporation voters of the states
west of the Mississippi, where the re-
publican ticket is weak. 1t is intend
ed not to further the ends of justice
but to influence votes. Its purpose is
not to assist in furnishing the Standard
Oil company, but to convince the west
that in spite of a reactionary platform
that surrendered on the income tax, the
Observation-Disclosures tax and campaign
fund publicity the administration is
still terror to Wall street and to male
factors Of great wealth.
The Silver Belt heartily approved the
sentence imposed by Judge Lands OH
the Standard Oil company. 1t was time
to make an example of great offender,
and an ordinary fine is Of no value
whatever in dealing with so rich and
powerful a corporation. The Silver
Belt regrets that the court or appeals
found it necessary to reverse Judge
Lands, but justice is not to be accom-
plished by presidential Trades against
judges who decide contrary to his wish
es. 1t must come about by due process
Of law.
If the case against the Standard Oil
company is finally won and sustained,
the decisive victory will be due Ear
more to the efforts of that quiet but ex-
cellent lawyer, Frank B. Kellogg, than
to all President Roosevelt's manifesto.
