women. the householdes discreetly shading their faces behind draperes

BUSINESS IN POLITICS.
Time is Ripe for Active Participation
In Legislative Field,
Financial America.

Recently we devoted more than
twelve columns Of this paper to pub
fish the views Of prominent business
men at large on the Sherman law, and
We believe. the feeling Of our CORE.
spondents against that measure may
DO taken fairly as representative Of
general business opinion. The major.
ity favored u suggestion for a con.
vention Of business men to discuss
the question OF corporate regulations
advisedly and orderly. They also
recommended an educational cam.
palgn. through the agency Of the
press and by means of public meet
fngs, under the auspices of CONNER
cial organizations. such as boards Of
trade, chambers of commerce, mer-
chants associations. and the like.
these suggestions. although business
mel may naturally falter at the cope
OF an undertaking so large and so
new to them. We say new to them.
and We 1t. For it will be, IL
ever attempted "a most novel pro-
ceeding to find the American bust
ness man fighting for his rights and
for public recognition of them, after
leaving his destiny for years in the
keeping of the politician.
Had he been a trifie less Interested
in the questions of business expan-
sion and increasing profits in the last
twenty years, and a trifie more inter-
ested In the passage of wise legisla-
ton affecting his interests; had he
co-operated more with the authorities
after the name rof his foreign COM
petitors; and had he shown the poll
tician that he was not so totally OBJ
sessed with counting house details as
to be unable to formulate or give
expression to an ideal for the regula-
ton Of his own business, his plight
would not now be so embarrassing.
The Sherman law was never fashion,
ed by business men. They had neith-
er voice nor part In its making. If
We are to change itand we ought to
change it's the substitution to be
left to be heard from? Business
alone a answer this question; and
can not refrain from observing
that the present refrain from observ-
ing that the present is the time for
action, and that we regard the re-
marks of the president and his at
torney general as %singularly auspic-
ious-almost an invitation, indeed,
for business to speak Out.
