THE "PUIE or REASON"

President Taft did a valuable public
service when In his speech at Detroit
Yesterday ne challenged the critics OF
the Supreme Courts antitrust decisions
to point out any Ill effects resulting from
the courts declaration that the proyi-
sions Of the antitrust law must be in
terpreted in the light of reason. a few
Senators and Representatives asSalled
the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust
decisions at the time they were deliv-
cred, but soon abandoned any intention
they may have had to try to amend the
law so as to reverse what they wrongly
considered TO have been the courts rul-
ing. But Mr., Bryan is still publishing
editorials in "The Commoner' demand
ing the extension Of the law TO all cases
OF restraint of trade, whether reasonable
or unreasonable.
As Mr.. Taft says, those who complain
OF the courts opinions do not fully I'M
derStand them. The court did not lay
down the principle that some restraints
of trade are reasonable and some are
unreasonable, but only said that reason
must be used in determining what really
constitutes a restraint Of trade within
the purview Of the antitrust law. Those
who contend that the court meant TO
allow reasonable restraints 10 go I'M
punished owe it 10 the country TO pro-
duce a case of restraint in which the
court under the compuslOn Of It's own
logic would have TO grant immunity.
The Presidents challenge is clear and
definite. He said:
! repeat again that in spite of all the
denunciations that we have heard OF the
decisions of the Supreme Court in the
Standard Oil and the Tobacco cases.
there is not one who has criticised them
that can formulate a contract In restraint
of trade that ought TO come within the
statute that does not come within II
under the decision of the Supreme Court.
Here is a chance which Mr.. Bryan and
the other irreconcilatles cannot afford
to let slip. A few practical illustrations
would not be amiss I'm their campaign to
discredit the courts rule Of reason"

TAMnAYY,S ELECTION LAW.

Justice Gavegans decision appears TO
deal a knockout blow TO the Levy cleo
ton law. the Tammany scheme to make
anti-Tammany fusion impossible. The
court quotes Chief Judge Cullen's Ian
Cuage in regard to another scheme to
make fusion impossible, that which for
bade one party TO nominate the candi-
date of another party. Judge Cullen
said: Il insist that the Legislature has
mot the right TO legislate so as 60 in
"duce either partisan or independent
voting. = The fact is plain that the
Legislative provision is solely intended
"to prevent political combination and
fusion, and this IS the very thing that
81 insist there is no right to prevent or
"hamper as long as our theory Of gov
"ernment prevails, that the source Of
"all power is the people, as represented
"by the electors"
In the case before the Court Of APP
peals upon which Judge Cullen wrote
this decision the Legislature had sought
to prevent fusion by fOrbidding a party
to nominate another partys candidate.
The Levy law gives to a party the
empty right to nominate another party
candidate, but forbids it to print his
name in its column on the ballot This
is a subterfuge to get around Judge
Cullen's decision. 1t should be defeated
Justice Gavegan's decision is sound
common sense and should prevail in the
| higher courts.
The state constitution In its very first
section provides that no member Of the
state shall be deprived Of any of the
rights and privileges secured to any
citizen thereof" The. Levy law aims
to deprive large bodies Of citizens. whole
political parties, Of their right to have
the names Of their candidates for office
printed in their party columns a right
which other political parties are to en-
joy This IS an attempted diSCrimna.

Legislature has not overpassed the bounds
OF constitutional limitations. and that the
law ought to be obeyed. DEMOCRAT.
New York. Sept. II. 1911.
tThe doctrine that the first ten amend
ments are a restriction on Congress, not
on the states. Is so well settled that no.
body but a novice in constitutional law
will dispute II. In 1879 Illinois passed
an act forbidding bodies OF men out
side the organized National Guard TO
associate together as military organi-
cations or to drill or parade with arms.
This act was challenged as violation
OF the Second Amendment In that IL
nfringed the right OF the people TO
bear arms. The United States Supreme
Court, In 1885, in the case OF Presser
agt Illinois, 116 u. s., 265, said:
But a conclusive answer to the con-
tention that this amendment prohlblts
the legislation in question lies In the
fact that the amendment Is Limitation
upon the power OF Congress and the
national government, and not upon
that OF the states. 1t was so held by
this court in the case OF United states
agt Cruikshank, 81 u. s., 542, 553, In
which the Chief Justice in delivering the
judgment of the court, said that the
right OF the people TO keep and bear
arms zig not right granted by the
Constitution, neither is II In any man
ner dependent upon that instrument FOR
its existence. The Second Amendment
declares that II shall not be infringed,
but this, az has been seen. means no
more than that 1t shall not be inrrlnged
by Congress-"
Also In the matter OF Spies. 123 U. s.,
1S1. the Supreme Court said:
That the first ten articles Of amend
ment were not intended TO limit the
powers Of the state governments In re-
spect to their own people, but to OPP
crate on the national government alone,
was decided more than a half century
ago, and that decision has been steadily
adhered to since.
Whether any provision Of the Sullivan
act abridges the privileges or immuni-
ties OF citizens OF the United States
guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amend
ment, may possibly be open to question.
1t might possibly be held that as citi-
zen of the United States a mans right
to possess arms was fundamental, or
that he was deprived Of his property
without due process Of law. But that
the right ta bear arms spoken Of in the
Second Amendment has no relation to
the case Is beyond question.-Ed.l

TILE SECRET REYISION.

The public may take the word OF
those who filled the proposed charter
with Objectionable features and lockers
that they have taken many of them out
More than their word for it the public
cannot have. for the practically rewrlt-
ten charter has been carefully concealed
from view. All the secrecy which was
maintained during the drafting Of the
charter has been maintained during its
redrafting. No one is permitted to know
with what language the criticised parts
of the original draft have been elimr
mated. and the words I'm which the new
"pcrfect''' draft is embodied make all
the difference in the world. For every
"ioker" stricken out dozen new ones
may have been inserted for all the pub
lie knows. with nothing before it for its
information except a summary OF the
changes that have been made prepared
by the legislative committee.
The public is in the same position
now as It was when Governor Dix put
down his foot and refused to permit a
reconstruction of the city's government
without discussion. Then a new char
ter was suddenly brought forth from
darkness, with the proposal that 1t be
passed before any one had time to read
It, Now a very largely rewritten char
ter is to be brought forth from the
secret place of its composition, with the
proposal that it be damned through the
Legislature in a few days session be-
fore the public has time to digest and
discuss the extensive changes. Accord
inc TO the summary made public by
Senator Cullen, almost twoscore altera-
tons have been made I'm the proposed
charter most Of them Of enormous i'm
portance TO the city. The few days that
will intervene between the publication
o. the charter as il has been revamped
and the close of the present brief ses-
sion will not be sufficient to allow for an
intelligent examination Of the rewritten
bill.
Governor Dix said Of the original plan
to Jam the charter through AFTER the
proposed charter amendments have
been submitted 10 the Legislature the
"citizens and taxpayers Of the munich
"pality should be given ample time TO
understand and digest their provisions.
8" No charter should be acted on
"in haste by the Legislature-certainly
mo charter for a city which contains
"one-half of the population Of the state. "
That is as true Of the charter that has
been rewritten in secret as it was Of the
charter that was originally written in
secret

TILE OTLRRLLNG MAYOR
Mr.. William J. Schleffelin puts it
mildly when be writes 10 Mayor GaYnor:

Mr. William j. Schleffelin puts it
mildly when he writes TO Mayor Gaynor:
find it difficult to reason with a
man who writes on September J that
the Mayor has no veto over franchise
matters and never had" and who writes
on September IA that "the Mayors sep
"arate consent is necessary TO the grant
ing Of any franchise"
II is not only impossible to reason
with a man capable Of such quibbling as
the Mayor resorts 10 in this correspond
ence with Mr. Schieffelin, but it is hard
to refrain from harsher expressions in
discussing such intellectual disingenu-
BUSINESS. 1t is true that there is a diff
ference in language between a veto and
refusal Of separate consent" but
what is the difference in practice? And
what bubble is hidden away in the
Mayors last letter, quoted by Mr.. Schief-
felin. in which he writes that under the
present charter the Mayors separate
consent is necessary to the granting Of
"any franchise and that is also true
under the rapid transit act?
Mr.. Schleffelin, after puZZllng over TINS
utterance, is forced to write to the
Mayor that the statement is untrue"
If a frank man had written those words
they would mean that under the city
charter the Mayor must assent explicitly,
and separately from the Board Of Esti-
mate and Apportionment TO the making
Of a contract for the operation of a sub
way, and that this was the case also
under the rapid transit act. But Mr.
Schieffelin quotes the charter, which ex-
p<essly says that the Mayors veto shall
not apply to any franchise right or con-
tract authorized by the Board of Rapid
Transit Railroad Commissioners Of the
CITY of New York" And the rapid
transit act also provides for no separate
approval Of such franchises. The May

or's assertion seems to be, as Mr..
Schieffelin says, fatty untrue. But
doubtless 1t is not so. Doubtless there
is some trick in It by which it may be
made TO square with the facts, even
though plain men cannot perceive the
subtlety. That Is what the public mas
been taught TO look for in the IAN
cuage which the Mayor employs In con
trOversies.
All of this quibbling and verbal hair
splitting is for the purpose of creating
the impression I'm the public mind that
the proposed charter does not alter the
Mayors powers with respect to rapid
transit franchises or contracts Inc
Mayor does not fatty assert that the
new charter will make no change. That
would be false. He juggles with words.
His separate assent to the laying out
of rapid transit routes is. now required.
He tries TO make II seem as II that were
the same thing as the requirement or MS
separate assent TO contracts to operate
Ines built on those routes, which. the
new charter would give him. He seeks
to bewider the public. He insists upon
the use Of words by his opponents III
their strictest and most technical sense,
and at the same time permits to himself
such wide latitude I'm the use of SINH
lar words that no man can tell what
he has I'm mind Altogether, as a CON
troversialist the Mayor appears IN his
least admirable aspect willing to misiead
so long as in some tortuous and hidden
way his language may be justified with
the facts
