Uncertainty of the Law.

Following President Taft's opinion
man law should not be changed
unless congress refuses to pass
a federal incorporation act came
the announcement that the in
dicted beef packers of Chicago had
surrendered to the government and
appealed for writ of habeas cor
pus for the purpose of testing the
validity of the Sherman Act" be-
fore going to the expense of trial
as to whether or not they are guilty
Of maintaining a combination in re-
straint of trade. The attorney for
the packers claims that law violates
the sixth amendment to the consti-
tuition because it is impossible for
citizen to know definitely whether
he is a law breaker or not and it is
unconstitutional because it attempts
to establish as a crime acts that are
not criminal but civil in their nature.
The attorneys say
1.-THE supreme court, in the tobac-
co and oil cases, converted the Sher-
man law into an illegal enactment,
since the court, by placing each indi-
vidual or corporation on a standard
of it's own built up on it's peculiar
individual acts, took away from all
individuals the possibility of
knowing how their acts were to be
viewed by a jury, in the light of
reason that this obscurity Of def
milton of what constituted crime was
contrary to the 8th amendment of
the federal constitution
These charges on the part of the
packers come as a surprise to the
government and at rather unfor-
tunate time for President Taft as he
has claimed and the country had
commenced to believe that the
status of the law had become de-
fnitely known. Despite this claim
it looks now as though the supreme
court must pass upon the law again
before we know whether or not it
is an enforceable law. That the pres
ident is a little suspicious of the
law is shown in his statement that if
the law is to be amended at all it
should define specifically what con-
stitutes offenses against it. He be-
lieves that crushing of competition
by combination to ruin competitors
or to raise prices and other acts of
the kind should be specifically nam
ed as offenSes under the act. Of
course it would be folly to attempt
to argue whether the claims of the
packers are valid or not as the
question is before the courts but it
does seem unfortunate that a law
it has taken twenty or more years
to make certain should again be
thrown into the realm of uncer-
tainty.

do everything in his power to make
the party victory a decisive one. He
looks to the press rather than the

want him and will express their de-
sire at the primary meetings he
would esteem it a great honor and
become an active champion of the
party. But he wants the people to
act for themselves so that he and

who in the past have shown them

Mr.. DeBoer adopts this method

Mr.. DeBoer has shown the greater

Greater Prophecy Possible.


Fifty years ago in the dark day
Iof the civil war in this country, Johl
Bright of England in closing a ia
nous speech in behalf of non inter
ference of England with the strug
gle said:
81 see one vast confederation
stretching from the frozen north il
funbroken line to the glowing south
and from the wild pillows of the At
lantic westward to the calmer water:
of the Pacific mainland I see one
people, and one language, and one
law, and one faith, and, over all thai
wide continent, the home of freedom
and a refuge for the oppressed OF
every race and of every cline.
Those words were spoken at a
time when it was seriously doubted
whether or not the American govern
ment could maintain itself. When
nearly half of the territory was in
armed Instruction against the other
half and was the more successful in
war. 1t required strong faith and
unf1inching courage to speak those
words at that time but they were
spoken by an unquestioned friend of
America. The words, "the frozen
north" cannot be interpreted literally
because John Bright was too loyal an
Englishman to believe or predict
that England would surrender it's
territory to this republic. So his
bold prophecy has been literally full.
filled.
But great as his vision was it did
not forsee all that was to be. The
thought of international jurispru-
dence between all civilized nations of
the world had not been formed at
that time. But it is before the civil
lied world today and the fulfillment
of John Bright's prophecy of fifty
years ago is largely responsible for
it. It has not come but there are
pending in the United States Senate
two treaties which if ratified will
name sure us uudI accompaniment
If they are not ratified it's day may
never dawn. The only obstacle in it's
path is the abridgment of certain
powers of the senate. 1t cannot be
believed by the Intelligent American
public that the senate will prove the
fatal obstruction. On the contrary
American intelligence is making
much broader prophecy than that of
John Bright. 1t predicts that ma
tional lines shall no longer limit the
sway of justice, that honor shall not
be test of strength but builded
upon the enduring foundation of
Righteousness, that law shall govern
the relations between nations the
same as it now does those of civiliz-
ed individuals, that war and destruc-
ton shall be forever supplemented
by peace and the preservation of the
rights of the weak as we'll as the
strong. And today it confidently ap-
peals to the United States senate to
hasten the fultillment of it's
prophecy.

THE SANTA FE SHOP FIRE.

That disastrous explosion and fire
in the Santa Fe shops the other day.
which snuffed out three lives and de-
stroyed considerable property, also
emphasizes the fact that the serious
accidents and destructive fires in this
enormous shop plant are actually few
and far between. There have not been
a half dozen Of them in as many
years. Such a showing is really a re-
markable one.
Nearly four thousand men are en-
ployed in these shops. In the very
nature of their work, much of 1t is
especially hazardous. Ponderous ma
chinery is in operation incessantly
Mammoth stores of all kinds of oil,
paint and varnish are kept on hand
and put in use daily. Furnaces are
always running. Millions of feet or
lumber are stored near by. Regular
passenger and freight trains run
through the entire length of the shop
plant Switching and donkey engines
in large numbers are running around
the yards every minute of the day.
blowing out their sparks and envelop-
ing things with their steam. The ac-
ttvities of the shops are multitudinous
and many of them are dangerous. An
act of oarelessness on the part of
single employee would be fraught
with grave results.
And yet this work is carried on
day after day with accidents and fires
so few that when one of any particu-
lar severity or size does happen, it
comes with almost stunning force. In
most of the big railroad shops of the
country and in other big industries
where many men are employed in
hazardous undertakings, accidents and
fires Of the proportions of the one that
occurred in the Santa Fe shops the
other day happen with unerring fire.
quency.
That more Of them do not occur
in the Santa Fe shops is a convincing
piece of testimony of the efficiency
with which this huge plant is conduct
and and also of the intelligence and
skill of the thousands of men who
labor in 1t.

HOW DEMOCRATS LEGIsLATE.

Surprise is being expressed all over
the country at the speed with which
the members of the Democratic ma
jority in the house of representatives
are transacting public business and
disposing of important matters of leg
islation. Nothing like it has been seen
before in Washington, or in any other
legislative center, for that matter.
The reason is not difficult to find.
The Democrats in the house are work.
ing together in a concerted fashion.
They have been welded by Champ
Clark and the other leaders into per-
feet legislative machine. Not cog of
it is permitted to slip. To be sure
there have been differences of opinion
among many of the Democrats in the
house on various details of many of
the important pieces of legislation that
have been passed. But these differ
ences have been threshed out in eau
cuses and the majority vote of the
Democrats on every proposition has
been the rule for all of them, when it
came time to press legislation to a
conclusion in the face of the common
enemy.
A decidedly different story would
have been told concerning the progress
of legislation in the house if the Demo-
Gratis who have opposed the details of
several of the pieces of legislation, or
the way the leaders were running
things, had herded together and insist
ed that q band-wagon or a steam
roller or something of the sort was
being run over them; that they were
being deprived of their rights as mem
bers of the house because, forsooth, a
majority of their party could not be
persuaded to see things as they would
wish. If such malcontents had de-
veloped and then gone onto the floor
of the house and worked with the OPP
position minority to thwart every move
of the leaders of the supposed ma
jority of the house, the Democratic
leaders would scarcely be started on
their program of legislation instead of
being pretty nearly through with it.
Yet such was the situation that con-
fronted the Republican majority in the
last congress. Is 1t any wonder that
more was not accomplished? No Re
publican majority in any preceding
congress has ever presented the aspect
of such a weIl-oiled legislative ma
chine as the Democrats of the house
are now operating. And still there is
no bowling from any quarter of the
house that anybody's rights are being
trampled on. AS matter of fact the
same old horse is running things in
the house but it happens to be of an
other color.
