So spake Mr.. Bryan at Columbus on
Monday. 1t was the selection OF the demo
Gratis Of a nominee for the presidency ia

the acceptance by the democrats Of the

Anti. Trnst Laws

What is the situation with reference
to governmental control Of the trusts?
Are the antitrust laws we now have
inadequate and new laws needed. Or
are the laws we have effectual enough
If only properly enforced?
When the supreme court laid down
it's rule of reason" in the two big
trust cases, most people, agreed that
we had reached a common ground of
determining the relation of the gov
eminent to corporations and its power
of regulation, and that in the future
all similar issues should be met by
this rule. But upon that general as
sumption public opinion divided as to
the wisdom and justice of the rule of
reason. One faction saw in it only
larger special privileges for the trusts,
while another viewed it as a safe and
sane restriction.
But already public opinion seems to
have veered around in new direction.
Congressman Littleton may have re-
Elected this impression when he intro
duced in the house his bill to bring
about a sweeping inquiry into indus
trial conditions with view to enacting
new antitrust law. Or does Mr..
Littleton's bill reflect only one side of
the case? 1t 10 quite interesting to
note that, while Mr.. Littleton is one OF
the newer generation of reform demo-
Gratis in congress, his bill is effusively
endorsed by such eminent figures in
the corporation world as Mr.. George
w. Perkins.
And this leads US again to a cross
roads Do Mr.. Perkins and his friends
endorse the Littleton plan because
they do believe or because they do not
believe in the efficacy of the Sherman
law as applied in the rule of reason
Mr.. Perkins is 80 much in earnest that
he has determined to devote his time
to constructing better business policy
for the country. Perhaps, after all,
it is in the business policies, more than
in the laws and their enforcement,
that the chief difficulty lies Surely
If the master minds in the industrial
world we're 10 give to the govern
ment's problems the same faithful
thought and cooperation they give to

LAWYERS RESPONSIBILITY.
Feature of Trust Conspiraeies that IL
often Overlooked.
Philadelphia Bulletin


The action of a federal Judge in New
York court in recognizing the greater
offense Of the lawyer who advised and
framed the recently dissolved wire pool.
as compared with that OF numbers Of the
trade who became parties to IL as a matter
of necessity or expediency, will strike a
responsive chord In the public mind. In
stead OF the 900 fines accepted from the
members of the pool, the lawyer, who was
its brains, was fined 5000 on each indict-
ment, OF a total Of $4,000, with additional
costs. But even this was scarcely more
than fifth of the fee which he collected
for his services.
Whether or not this punishment ade-
ouately fitted the crime it gives emphasis
to the principle that the lawyer, who on mis-
admission to the bar has taken an oath 10
support and interpret the law in justice
and equity, takes on himself a greater re-
spOnsibility than that borne by the laynan.
1t is to be hoped that the United States
district attorney carries out his expressed
purpose and Moves for disharment, for It
would be we'll to have a spade called q
spade for a time. and to have schemes for
the evasion Of the law properly described
as conspIracies, and the responsible plot
tiers, even though they be distinguish
members OF the bar, be held to account.
as they would be II detected in such COM
phcity in any other less polite" law
breaking.
1t is time that the bar, itself, were
brought TO a fuller realisation of the re-
sponsibility it has assumed in lending its
counsel and advice, its knowledge and ex-
perienee In law, to aid in defiance and
evasion OF the statutes.

a senator who has remedies for every

another prescription. He would cure the
infirmities OF the Sherman law by so
amending 1t that the corporation summoned
before the bar Of justice would have to
furnish proof OF its innocence, with con-
viction as a consequence OF failure. This
would save a great deal Of government

Stormy Controller Bay.

OLOIWY OOuBIOlltI nay.
Reports says that Secretary of the
Interior Fisher was caught in a vortex
of a terrific storm sweeping over Con-
troller bay upon his arrival in that
much-talked-of Alaska country How
natural and home-like it must have
seemed to the secretary. He left
Washington amid the din and turbu-
lence Of a Controller bay storm and
the last sound from the mcinland that
smote his ears as he sailed away from
Seattle for the north must have been
the low moaning of the distant winds
Controller bay is truly a stormy
petrol One cannot read about 1t with
out shivering a little. Yet one is
bound at times to feel that il 1t were
not for cross currents, the elements
about Controller bay would not seem
so tempestuous. No supernatural
powers are imputed to Secretary
Fisher and YET it is hoped, and be-
lieved, that after he has bearded the
roaring storm lion in his lair he will
come back with the secret or MS
mastery.
The country wants no more Con-
troller bay storms. 1t wants the
calmer forces of reason and national
welfare to predominant in Alaska and
we mistake nightly the temper of the
public if it is not even now prone to
believe that the president has dealt
fairly and impartially in this matter,
but that his actions and his motives
have been misconstructed and distorted
for political purposes. But let us have
all the light possible on the subject,
so that the issue cannot be evaded and
a proper remedy found and applied
to the situation, whatever it may be.
