MORE SPUNK NEEDED.

We need here in the United States
a little more of that good old English
bluntness on the part of modest men
and women who know their own worth,
when men and women of the arrogant
sort get in the way or try to be pat
ronizing, says New York Independent.
Our observation is that nowhere In
the word are men and women of eX-
ceptional intellectual attainments so
lacking in self-assertion as they are in
the United States. This phenomenon
is comparatively new one in Amer
lean life. Wherever one opens the
documents of American history before
the civil war he is sure to discover in
teresting incidents proving the sense
of dignity and real self-respect of the
American farmer, mechanic. merchant,
teacher, physician or clergyman. 1t
was something in man himself that in
those days was regarded as worth
while and worthy of respect. 1t takes
a certain amount of courage for an in
dividual, face to face with a person
politically or financially prominent, to
tell him to stay on his own reservation
and mind his own business. Americans
have been inclined to regard the Eng
lishman's habitual manifestation of
this particular kind of courage as a
disagreeable quality. Perhaps it is.
But we are convinced that it is a
necessary quality, and that its cultiva-
ton is an essential part of that eter-
nal vigilance which is the price of lib
arty.

Prosecution of the Packers.

The prosecution of the packers
should be pushed this time to defin-
ite conclusion.
For years the belief has grown
among the people that the law is evad-
ed or broken in this important in
dustry, and that conspiracy or un-
lawful combination exists through
which the price of meat is raised
above the legitimate level fixed by
free operation of the law of supply
and demand.
The abortive attempt during the
last administration-em in
popular mind by the immunity bath
episode and the unique reproof of a
federal judge by the president-only
intensified feeling by what seemed to
be a fragrant instance of thwarted
Justice and triumphant wrong doing. In
the meantime the question of high
prices has broadened to include not
only meat but virtually all commodi-
ties of common use, and the demand
for relief has become imperative. The
existence of artificial interference
with prices, of unlawful agreements
in restraint of trade, and effective mo-
nopolies is now, more than ever, OF
poignant concern to the people.

Matter of Much Moment

1t is important that the existence
of beef trust" be conclusively
proved or disproved Is is important
that the trust" or combination, if any
be vigorously attacked, and if possible
destroyed beyond hope or fear of it's
recrudescence, at least in our time.
TO that end the prosecution should be
pushed without fear or favor. Many
of these men stand high in the bust
ness world and in the social life OF
the community. 1t is the more urgent
that they be cleared of the prevailing
suspicion against them, or be punished
as such men should be punished if
they willfully break the laws of their
country.
The prosecution should have the
special attention of the department
of Justice. This implies no criticism OF
either the skill or zeal of the district
attorney. But the very best talent
at the command of the government
should enter into this case, which is
entirely worthy Of the personal atten'
ton of the attorney general himself:

TO PROTECT CANAL
POLICY ADOPTED BY ADMINS
TRATIoN is CORRECT.
Approaches to Panama Waterway
Must Be Made lmpregnable-
Any Other Course Would Be
the Extreme of Folly.

With Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood head
ing it and the other members officers
of high rank and distinction, the Pana-
ma fortification board, that will be
named shortly to undertake the work
of planning the fortification of the
great canal, will be of imposing
character and will inspire confidence
in it's recommendations The purpose
of the administration is to provide in
the fullest manner for the protection
of the canal at both it's Atlantic and
Pacific entrances. Probably two forts
will command either entrance, and
the approaches will be made absolute
ly impregnable. Just what may be
the final policy respecting the passage
of commerce through the waters of
the canal may not be predicted, but
the policy with respect to the fortifi-
cation of the great work is not open
to conjecture. The government is
right in its purpose to leave nothing
to the good faith of the powers.
1t is we'll enough to regard neutral
ity an asset, but there is no assurance
that in the event of war one or the
other belligerents might not ignore
the neutrality engagement and send
it's ships through the canal, thus inE
volving this country in the fracas 1t
might readily be conceived that a
situation would arise in which one or
the other of two warning powers
would deliberately. violate the neutral
ity of the canal in order to bring
the United States into the action.
With the proposed forts provided
no nation could set aside the principle
of neutrality, no matter how reckless
| 1t might be, for the guns of the fort
would be trained upon the offender,
no matter who this might be. The
necessity for fortificatlon also arises
from the possibility of acts by bel
| ligerent that would ruin the canal, or
at least impair it's use during the
progress of the hostilities. There ap
pears to be no disposition upon the
part of any power-England is the
only one with shadow of right to OBJ
ject-to interpose any objections tc
the fortiication plan.
The Notifications at Honolulu are
approaching completion, and those ir
the Philippines are well advanced
The Pacific is gradually being brought
into war trim, so that foe could no
with immunity, or, indeed, with mucf
hope of success, attack the posses
sions of this country in the Pacific
section. The absolute essential to the
security of the country's extra-terri
torial domain, however, is the pres
ence of a fleet in the Pacific tina
would be able to outmatch ships sen
to attack American possessions.

Senator Root at the Haoue.

The United States, in its highly i'm
portant and significant role of litigant
before The Hague tribunal, involving
settlement of the long standing dis
pute with Great Britain over the New
foundland fisheries, is to have the
benefit of Senator Elihu Roots acu-
men and mastery Of the facts involved
not only in the long dispute but in
the negotiations which have led up
TO this agreement on arbitration. Sen
ator Root, by yielding to the desires
of President Taft and Secretary Knox
and agreeing to shape the American
argument and appear at The Hague
next June, has done patriotic service.
He also has opened the way for a
personal experience in meeting Euro
pean men of eminence and in receiv-
ing honors from them, which will
show how highly he is esteemed by
jurists abroad as a great factor in de-
veloping international Jurisprudence.

AIMED ONLY AT MONOPOLY
Antitrust Act Would in No Way
Prevent Beneficial oreaniza-
tion of Trade.

An exigent example of the earnest
the antitrust act prohibits the benefi-
cial organization of trade is afforded
by the Philadelphia Ledger. In speak
ing of, President Tafts sop to the pro-
fessedly alarmed stock exchange that
paper says: , g.:
I'm his animal message he pointed
out that the Sherman act, as inter
preted by the intermediate courts in
the tobacco and Standard Oil cases,
would be equally destructive of all
the large modern organizations, wheth-
er obnoxious or beneficial
There are two or three .well-known
facts that show the absolute inaccura-
cy of this statement. The president
could not have pointed this out in his
annual message, since in the annual
message he simply said that he would
treat this subject, with others, in spe-
cial messages. He did not do so in
his special message. He pointed out
that certain phrases, in the supreme
court decision in the Railroad associa-
tion case might be so construed; but
went on to show that the subsequent
| trend of decisions held what the Dis
patch has steadily maintained, that
the law is not that large and harm
less organizations would be de-
stroyed. but that those which restrain
competition and control prices would
be Therefore, he specifically stated
| at least twice in the message that he
did not regard any amendment to the
J antitrust act as necessary.
! The nearest that he came to. saying
what the Ledger says he did. was, in
brief, as follows: If a great trust is
proved in court to have established an
| luxurious trstraint in trade and monop
oily, the injunction against it would
wipe out it's organization and compel
it's disintegration. Whence he argued
the necessity of providing national in
corporation to permit combinations in
that plight to organize and do busi
ness in accordance with law. There is
plenty of room for criticising that ar
gument; but the statement of its pro
mise is far from what is averred by
the paragraph above .qnoted.-Pitts

Many crimes diminish. Defalcations,

Many crimes diminish. Defalcations,
in spite OF popular impression to the
contrary, are far less in amount than
they were. Wealth has grown and
fiduciary responsibilities swell. but
the total amount of defalcations annu-
ally are below those OF a few years
ago, says Philadelphia Press. Skilled
pank burglaries are less numerous.
The safe, electric light and electric
alarms have got the better of the bank
burglar. Counterfeiting notes does
not compare with the amount, number
and risk, under the old bank note sys-
tenn half century ago, or in the first
20 years of the national note system,
bank or treasury, from 1863 to 1883.
Every bank had to watch once for
counterfeits, as it does not now. To
day counterfeiting is on a petty scale.
Post Office thefts by officials have al
most disappeared. Instead of hunting
for them, as it's members once did,
the postal secret service or force of
inspectors is principally dealing with
the use of mails for swindles.

Mr.. Roosevelt VIII Sneak.

Ex-President Roosevelt has finally
consented to make the address which
custom dictates must be made by the
recipient of Nobel peace prize. Mr..
Roosevelt has until recently stoutly
resisted all efforts to induce him to
comply with this formality, and it is
probable that even now only his re-
gard for Senator Root has induced him
to abandon his determination to disre-
gard the custom. Andrew Carnegie
has nominated Mr.. Root as a proper
recipient of the prize, and some of the
trustees were so sensitive because Mr..
Roosevelt had declined to comply with
the custom that they advised friend
of the former president that if he per-
sisted in his declination there would
be no chance of the prize being con-
ferred on another American. When
Mr.. Roosevelt learned that his reluc-
tance might result in depriving his
former secretary of state of the honor,
he reconsidered his determination, and
while again expressing his reluctance
to appear before the footlights," he
has instructed personal friend to
inform the Nobel trustees that he has
reconsidered and to ask that the nee
essary arrangements be made for his
delivery of the address at Christiania
about the time of his prospective visit
to Berlin.

A bank wrecker in Wisconsin has
been sent to the penitentiary for ten
years. The only way to break up this
sort OF high finance is to treat its prac-
titioners as common thieves who sim
ply take other peoples property with
out any formality or technicality.
When the man who wrecks bank by
Juggling its finances is put on a plane
with the burglar who blows open its
vaults and safes, then there will be a
chance for the law to protect the pub
lie from all classes of thieves, no mat
ter how their stealing is named.

Tariff and Hiah Prices.

For those who insist upon the tariff
as the reason of the high cost of living
a computation in the London Graphic
is worthy of attention. The Graphic
figures that England paid approx
mately $17OO0.0OO more for wheat in
1909 than it paid for the same quantity
in 1908, 3,50O,0OO more for bacon.
$1,25O.00O more for eggs, and nearly
$5,000,000 more for mutton. This
shows that the problem of higher
cost of living is world wide and the
tariff is not its sole cause.

MIR. Taft's Position.

The Republican party has the genius
TO perceive the measures that exactly
represent the stage of progress in the
nation. 1t has the faculty of incorpor.
ating these policies and thus it draws
the teeth of radicalsm. Mr.. Taft is,
therefore, a national figure in the best
sense of the word. He rises above
sectionalism, above factionalism, above
any of the considerations that range
men into clans and sects. He is in
the fullest sense of the term the presi-
dent of the United States.

his characteristic maxim is, legislate
right first, then go ahead. Ours is a
