TRUST DECISIONS BY CLOSE
VOTE OF COURT.

The action of the Supreme Court In
ordering rehe8rings in the STANDARD Oil
and Tobacco cases presumably because
OF the death OF Justice Brewer and the
illness OF Justice Moody. indicates that
tentative decisions had already been
reached in these sJri-s by close divisions
OF the tribunal
The order may probably be in
teTPreted as meaning that whatever the
decisions were, they had been arrived
at by so close a margin that the court
did not care TO promulgate them. in
view of the present limitation in its
active membership. Tt may also be in
1erred that there Is serious question
whether the decisions. when they came.
would be the final word in the issues
involved. Instead, the evidence of even
ness in the division OF the court may
likely mean that the cases could be
made the basis of much future Etiga-
ton
The first and most direct effect of
the order Is the probable postpouemeut
for some time of the decisions In these
cases President Taft Is expected to
name Justice Brewers successor this
summer, and Justice Moody Is expected
10 be sufficiently recovered TO serve IN
the fall
This probably means 1t VIII be Octo-
her before the suits are re-argued- and
winter before the findings Of the court
are announced.
On the whole If these premises are
correct. the delay Is worth while, for
what Is most wanted is an absolutely

SHOULD MAKE CONFIDANT OF
PUBLIC

Although all organiza tiOnS. TO be ei-
fective- must have rules and regulations
for the purpose Of systematizing their
operations. there are times when red
tape should be e1t, precedence ignored
and quick. direct action taken. for the
purpose Of attaining some specific, de-
sired end Such an occasion presented
1tself to the Associated Charities OF
Washington last week. but unfortu-
nately, its significance was ignored.
The Associated Charities Is Just now
being made the object of attack by a
few welI-meaning but misinformed
people. whose basis Of criticism Is that
the society uses too much money for
salaries and administration and not
enough for relieving distress. Those who
understand thoroughly the purposes Of
the Associated Charities are not moved
To critcise II for this record. They be
lieve in the theory that the society Is
not primarily an institution for the
purveving OF food. fuel. and rent money
10 the needy. but for the uplifting of
unfortunate people through the ad-
mlnistration OF means TO enable them
10 help themselves.
just now. however. the degree to
which the society has succeeded in
working cut tins theory Is under ques-
tio1, and instead of openly giving It's
record 10 the public IT shows an incIi-
nation to withhold information. In tine
minds of those already in doubt as to
the effectiveness of the organization
this but tends 10 foster suspicion
For the good of those whom it bene-
fits for its own fpt-sre success and be
cause the public Is entitled to the fun
record, the Associated Charities should
be candid Its books should be open
% inspection to all sincerely interested
people. No fair idea as TO whether the
society has Iabored well and proftabIy
can be formed unless the actual facts
are known. There can hardly be any
doubt but that the Associated Charities
has nothing ID conceal Tt Is not
ashamed of its record 1t IS convinced
1t Is doing. not only right. but well
This being true its officers should not
hesitate TO allow any one at any time
10 see its accounts and It's record of
work done
Before the criticism of the society
goes any further or does any more
damage. the Associated Charities should
make specific public answer To the
charges that have been laid against it,
and should present detailed information
On local conditions to show that its
theory for the relief of distress Is COED
and is being effectively followed

How Gage Was Spared.

THE stories Of ruptures in the Cal
met which are being much CirCu-
lated lately bring 20 mind the fact that
Lyman J. Gage was nearly driven out
of the Mckinley Cabinet by newspaper
reports
After M Gage had been IN the cab
met for a time, an influential paper
appeared with persistent reports that
President Mckinley wanted 10 set nd
of Gage, but had found no way to let
him know the fact deIicately-
one story after another Of that sort
appeared until finally. Gage one morn
ing picked up a clipping telling how
Mckinley wanted him out and immedi-
steIy thrust it into an envelope with q
note in which he said.
Mr. President. if YOU want me TO
leave the Cabinet You need not 90 to
the newspapers to tell me So"
Mr. Gage was about to seal up the
envelope and address II 10 the White
House when he showed il to a close
friend. who told hin not to send IL and
that President Mckinley knew nothing
Of the stories Of retirement Gage took
the advice, tore up the note and en-
veloDe, and saved what would have un
cuestonably been Z. break in the Cab

GOV. HUGHES WOULD EXPOSE
ALBANY CORRUPTION.

Governor Hughes, at a recent dinner
of the legislative correspondents IN Al

graft 50 outspoken as TO startIe the old
machine leaders Of the State. He served
notice he would demand a thorough in

little more than limited at in the Aids
inquiry. This particular occasion was
one when the governor was protected
by the rule that what he said should
not be quoted. For this reason his

This, however, is insurgency. Cover
nor Hughes is an insurgent. Just now
a great deal Is being heard around
Washington of suppressing insurgency,
of stamping it out, of casting it forth.
It Is argued by the old organization
crowd in Washington tha5 the only
way to save the Republican party Is to
kill of insurgency or drive the in
surgents over to 1he Democrats. But
IT appears that IN New York the only
way to save the Republican party is to
crush the old Pachine, clean house, take
up with wholesome and. progressive
policies and satisfy the people.
IF policy Of advancement, of en-
lghtened progress, Of non-machine

why is it not a good thing for the

ness of suppression Of Insurgency might
do well to consider this question with
