Protecticnist Questions.

Mr.. President. while l am a pro-
tectionist and believe that that policy
best promotes the general welfare or
the people, | am getting a little Dill
tired, not to say disguised, with the
everlasting contention that our people
cannot in any line Of %endeavor, nor
under any circumstances Whatever
compete or hold their W with any
one in any kind of work anywhere or
at n time, except possibly on the
Fourth of July. Whether we face the
poor, weak and inefficient labor OF
Europe: the ignorant, unskilled, lazy,
shiftless anemies of the tropics, or
tho vigorous but scant numbers OF she
north, we SILVER, shake and proclaim
our helplessness in a business way
when any suggestion Is made OF re-
ducing the tariff. Tropic climes and
frigid lands alike alright us. Pres
ent development frightens us no more
than dim and misty prospects OF the
future. ! have heard so much OF this
during the last three years that 1t has
begun to crate on my nerves as well
as on my tariff beliefs. l am con
strained to take a lantern, like do
genes, and see If 7 cannot find at least
one mar or one industry that could
stand a little reduction of the tariff
without resulting In the destruction OF
that mans business or that industry
None such have appeared here during
the consideration of the tariff mea'
sures in the last three years. l some
times wonder if the application OF our
protective tariff principle takes away
all of our business courage and con
idence. | do know that this appar'
ent greed and g%rasping spirit which Is
perverting the application OF what
believe to be a beneficent principle
threatens the overthrow Of the whole
fabric.-From a speech by Senator
Jones of Washington. GIL,

Treaties and "The Interests"

In an article On the Russian pass
port system in the New York Mails Is
sue of July 10 there is a portion OF
Senator Bacon's answer to Senator
Culberson of Texas which has led me
to believe that my contention of years
past is correct, says a correspondent
of the New York World.
After stating that the foreign rela-
lions committee would take the mat
ter up in due time" and assuring Sen
ator Culberson of the gravity of the
question, Senator Bacon of Georgia
continues as follows: Il cannot bet
ter Illustrate the gravity OF the ques-
ton than by the suggestion that while
We seek to serve one interest we
must not destroy others, and there are
vast interests involved"
1t also would seem evident that
vast interests" must be more care
fully guarded than the rights of citi'
zens, so that between Russia's can
nibal diplomacy and Americas dollar
diplomacy religious discrimination
and persecution are made to appear
Just and violation of treaty obligations
is a matter of very little Importance.

GOOD WORK is WELL BEGUN
Some Possibility Now That Illega'
Combinations May Be Brought
to Book.

That the administration has conf
dence In the recently construed anti
trust law is proved by It's legal attack
on the lumber trust. If what Is charged
in the governments bill Is true, there
can be no doubt that 1t is a combina-
ton operating In unreasonable" re-
straint of trade. Indeed, this is the
charge. Ten trade associations n
$50 individuals are named as defend
ants In the suit. The combination is
alleged to be a conspiracy, having for
its purpose the maintenance OF prices,
and the blacklisting Of concerns not
regarded as proper"
This proceeding is Of special I'M
portance, since it is directed at In
fluences that are powerful In main
tanning prices that directly affect the
cost of living. In other words, the
interests Of the much suffering ulu-
mate consumer are directly involved
In this litigation. One Of the charges
is that the trust has, through the
blackiisting of individual consumers
and of large Industrial corporations,
prevented them from dealing directly
with the wholesalers. To this extent,
therefore, the governments victory
would do something In the way OF
eliminating the middleman. For one
of the purposes of the suit is to get
the courts to say that it Is a violation
Of the antitrust law to prevent the
ultimate consumers from buying direct
ly from the producer. If the govern
ment succeeds in the present proceed
ing it will attack other combination
that control the marketing of the nee
essaries of life. AS it is largely
through such combinations that the
people are oppressed, we shall all hope
that a way may be found to limit their
operations. Perhaps those states when
have effective antitrust laws may IND
it possible to supplement the WORK
that Is being done by the federal au'

situation became more puzzling. This
tragedy which he had accidentally
stumbled upon must have had a cause
other than blind chance. 1t was the
elimination of a plot, with some rea

great shape on Monday to meet the
Democratic members of the Assembly.
The interview was described as a Con
ference but most of the comforting
was done by the executive, II we may
judge from the fac that DR.. Wilson
was on his feet for over two hours ex-
planning the primary bill, the public
utility Matchmaking bill. the corrupt
practises bill and the employers liabil-
ity bill. With reference to all these but
the first, which called for further me
gotiations," an amicable and satisfac-
tory arrangement was come to with the
representatives of the people.
The old fashioned theory was that the
duty of the governor consisted of in
forming the Legislature of the State
Of the commonwealth; that 1t was then
the duty of the law-making body to
act. one way or another. as to the
matters so called to its attention, and
finally that the executives duty ended
when he signed or vetoed the measures
presented TO him for his mature con-
s~ideration.
But the habit OF the big stick has
peer acquired at Trenton, as 1t was
some years ago at Albany. The waste
of time involved in keeping separate
the powers of the legislative and ex-
ecutive branches is regarded as an
evil to be avoided. Good men, in a
hurry, take the easiest course, which
Is to have laws originate practically
at the executive mansion.
So we are confronted with a curious
reversal. The governor acts as if he
were the Legislature. and the Legisla-
ture, u rather its majority. having
abandoned the right of initiative. finds
itself in the position of a governor with
a vague power of veto which ii is
afraid to exercise. An interesting stu
alton for the curious student OF politi-
cal development. But rather humiliat-
ing for the duly elected representatives
| of the State.
