NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION.

In an editorial headed Wanted
Business Councilmen." the Richmond
Times Dispatch calls attention to the
tact that the Est day for filing
notices of candidacy for Democratic
nominations for the city council is at
hand, and warns the good citizens OF
Richmond that now Is the time for
action il they are not satisfied with
the names appearing on the list OF
candidates already made public.
Newport News, too, is to elect half
of the membership of Its council this
year, and prospective Democratic
candidates already are appearing In
the field. In the course of a few
weeks the list will be closed and no
additional names may be added. Now
In the time for every good citizen
to display his interest in municipal
affairs. II capable men of integrity,
who have a fair chance OF being nomi-
mated have not announced their In
tention of seeking the nominations
in each OF the four wards, no time
should be lost in bringing out such
men. In YOUR ward are there two
candidates for the common council
and one candidate for the board of
aldermen who will make honest, in-
telligent and active members il elect
ed? IL there are not, see to il that
the list is added to in time Don't
depend on some one else to look af-
ter your interests and the city's; do
1t yourself. Make it your business
to call upon some suitable man Of
the ward and demand that he go into
the race TO win and give some of
his time and ability to the public;
or, better still, If you believe you
can render the city valuable service
end are willing to do it, file a notice

The Presidents declaration, In his
speech last Saturday, that II 1.-THE
present methods CT carrying on bust
ness" are in violation OF the law
they must be changed to conform
TO the law" has evoked from the or
cans OF the Trusts the arrogant and
supercillious criticism which any such
assertion always has to expect in those
Quarters. II is treated as the talk OF
AN ignoramus or demagogue; OF q
man unable to measure the signih
canoes. On the same principle, we
are told, the President might have
. stood by a law that brought bust
ness to an absolute standstill; il you
are going to stand by a law just be-
cause II was once enacted, and never
look to consequences, you may as
well, say these critics, let ,.e country
20 TO the dogs altogether.
Well, Mr.. Taft is not quite so
simple as all that; moreover, brief as
was his reference to the enforcement
of the Antitrust law, il was long
enough to show explicitly that he is not
so simple as all that. He is standing
by the law merely because ii is the
law, but because he empnatically ap-
proves of the law, or at least OF its
general purpose. He does not say
merely that business must conform
to the law because the law is on the
statute books; he says 1t must con-
form to the law because the country
demands that either that law or some
law more effective for the same pur-
pose, shall remain on the statute
40, nh hn prac.dnnf
said:
'If the enforcement OF the law Isl
not consistent with the business
methods of carrying on business, then
IL does not speak well for the present
methods of conducting business, and
they must be changed to conform tol
the law. There was no promise on the
part of the Republican party tot
change the Antitrust law except to
strengthen il, or authorize monopoly
and a suppression of competition ana
the control of prices.
That is the nub of the matter.
What the President says of the Re
publican party is, of course, still more
true of the opposition; IL is true OF
the nation as a whole, and it is true
Of the most sober thinkers CT the
nation. that they have no desire or
intention ito authorize monopoly
and a suppression of competition and
he control of prices" The important J
thing about the Presidents state |
nent if of not so much his declaration
that the law will be enforced, as his
assertion that the law ought to be
what it is, or stronger and those Trust
magnates will show themselves wis /
EST who recognize that in this asser-
ton he represents the people of the
United States, and who govern their
ronduct accordingly. Instead OF
blue ruin in case the
does not bow to their wishes.
