 to Clinch What Has Been Done
 The chief function of the next ad ministration is to perfect the machin. cry by which these standards may he maintained by which the lawbrsaker may be promptly restrained and pun. ished, but which shall operate with sufficient accuracy and dispatch to in. terfcre with the great business as little as possible. Such machinery is not now adequate. Under the present rate bill and under all its amendments, the bur. den of the Interstate Commerce Com. mission is supervising and regulating the operation of the railroads of this country nave grown SO heavy that it is utterly impossible for that tribunal to hear and dispose of in any reason. queries and issues of it's jurisdiction as an executive. directing body and it's Functions should be limited to the quasi-judicial investigation of com. plaints by individuals and by a depart. ment of theg overnment charged with the executive business of supervising the operation of railways
 There should be classification of that very small percentage of indus. trial corporations having power and opportunity to effect illegal restraints of trades and monopolies and legisla. tion either inducing or compelling them to subject themselves to registry and to proper publicity regulations and supervisions of the Department of Com mercc and Labor.

Compulsory Sale of Products at Fixed
 Prices Impracticable.

The proposal to compel every corpor. ation to sell it's commodities at the same price the country over, allowing for transportation, is utterly impracti. cable. If he can be shown that in or. 'ier to drive out competition corpora. tion owning a large part of the plant producing an article is selling in one part of the country where it has com. petitors at low and unproftable price, and in another part of the country where it has none, at an exhorbitant price. this is evidence that it is at. tempting an unlawful monopoly and justifes conviction under the anti. trust laws, but the proposal to super. wise the business of corporations in such way as to fix the price of com modities and compel the sale at such price is as absurd and socialistic plank as was ever inserted in democratic platform

Democratic Plank to Limit Corporation
 Ownership to Fifty Per Cont.

The suggestion of the Democratic platform that trusts be ended by for. bidding corporations to hold more than fifty per cent of the plant in any line of manufacture, is made without regard to the possibility of enforcement of the real evil in trusts. A corporation con. trolling forty.fve of fifty per cent of the products may by well known meth ods frequently effect monopoly and stamp out competition in any part of the country as completely as if it con. trolled sixty or seventy per cent thereof

National Control of Interstate Commerce Corporations.
Should Be Limited to Small Percentag
 By Classification.

IT is necessary, therefOre, To devIse some means for classifying and insur. ing federal supervision of sucn corpor- ations as have the power and tempta. ton to effect restraints of interstate trade and monopolies. Such corpora. tions constitute very small percent. age of all engaged in interstate busi- ness.

Construction of Anti Trust Law.

The possible operation of the anti trust law nnder existing rulings of the supreme court has given rise to sug gestions for its necessary amendment to prevent its application to cases which is believed were never in the contemplation of the framers of the statute. Take two instances; A mer' chant or manufacturer engaged in a legitimate business that covers certain states, wishes to sell his business and his good will. and SO in the terms of the sale obligates himself to the pur' chaser not to go in the same business in those states. Such restraint of trade has always been enforced at com mon law.
 Again the employees of an interstate railway combine enter upon a peace able and lawful strike to secure better wages. At common law this twas moi a restraint of trade or commerce or a violation of the rights of the company or of the public. Neither ease ought to be violation of the antitrust law My own impression is that the supreme court would hold that neither of these instances are within its inhibition, bu' if they are 10 be SO regarded genera

railway employees and indeed, may de. prive them of their places entirely.
 From what has been said the proper conclusion would seem to he that in attempting to determine whether the entire scncdulc of rates of railway is excessive, the physical valuation of the road is relevant and important, but not necessarily a controlling factor.
Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1908-08-05

With such classification in view. Mir. Roosevelt recommended an amendment to the antitrust law known as the Hep. burn bill, which provided for voluntary classification and created n strong mo tive therefore, by granting immunity from prosecutions for reasonable re- straints of interstate trade to all cor. porations which would register and submit themselves to the publicity regulations of the Department of Com mcrcc and Labor.

Democratic Tariff Plan.

The Democratic party in it's platform has not had the courage of its previous convictions on the subject of the tariff denounced by il in 1901, as system of robbery of the many for the benefit of the few, but it does declare its in- tention of changing the tariff with a view of reaching revenue basis and thus depart from the protective sys- tenn. The introduction into power of n party with this avowed purpose can. not but halt the gradual recovery of the more recent financial depression and produce business diseaster, com. pared with which our recent panic and depression will seem small indeed.
 The Farmer and the Republican Party,
 As the Republican platform says, the welfare of the farmer is vital to that of the whole country. One of tho strongest hopes of returning proscprity is based on the business which his crops are to afford. He Is vitally in. terested in the restraining of excessive and unduly discriminating railroad

Philadelphia, September 5.-A batting rally by New York In the sixth inning today gave them a victory over Phila- delphia. The visitors took rather kindly to McQuillens curves, but triple play saved him in the second inning. New York tallied run in the third on a double by Mccormick and a single by Bridwell. In the sixth inning New York hammered McQuillens delivery hard and the latter became very wild. Doyle opened this inning with a single and a steaA and scored on Bresnahan's double. An error by Bransfield on Donlin's bunt was fol- lowed with singles by Devlin and Brid- we'll and two force outs. With three runs in McQuillen made a wild pitch and gave two bases on balls, forcing in another run. Foxen, who pitched the last three innings for Philadelphia, held New York in check. only ten batsmen facing him. Philadelphia sized up Math- ewson's curves in only two innings.

Neither side scored in the first nine innings, but in the tenth Detroit scored on three singles in succession by Schmidt, Coughlin and Downs. A tumble by Schaefer and wild throw to second by Summers paved the way for the scoring by St. Louis. Hart zell batted for Stephens and sacrificed. Then Criss batted for Howell and the first St. Louis run came in while schaefer was throwing him out at first. Schweit- zer's single scored T. Jones with the winning run. Score:
