TO INVESTIGATE STEEL TRUST

hands of the department of justice
seem to be paralyzed whenever they
approach any of the interests domi-
mated by the supreme leader Of Wall
street. The steel trust, which seems
to the ordinary man a combination In
restraint of trade as surely as the
Northern Securities company ever was
bluffed the Roosevelt administration
out of any action by a virtual threat
to precipitate a destructive panic. So
far it has escaped attention from the
present administration. 1t will be
worth while to undertake the pro-
posed inquiry if only to show that
our government is not Morganized, as
our industries to a great extent have
been Morganized."
Talks with the most influential
democratic and i%nsurgent leaders have
verified the statement that the reso-
luton authorizing the steel trust in
vestigation will be passed as soon as
possible after the converting of the
next session.

the abolishing of the grade crossing
at Webb street and the substitution

From the sentiment expressed last
night, it is plain that the Commercial
association intends to make strenu-
Gus efforts to secure the selection of
Pendleton as the freight dlvfsron
when Umatilla is abandoned
following the completion of the Coy
ote-Echo cutoff, and the arguments
advanced last evening make it appear
that this city Is the logical point for
such a location. 1t is the policy of
the O.-W. company to establish divi-
sion points at distances about 100
miles apart. The first one this side
of Portland will be located at Des-
chutes, which is 102 miles this side
of the metropolis. Pendleton is 1O7
miles from Deschutes but the track
between the two points, when the
Coyote-Echo and the Pendleton-Yoa-
KUN cutoffs are completed, will be
very fast. The distance between PEN
dleton and La Grande, which is al
ready a division point, is considerably
less than 100 miles, but owing to the
mountainous nature Of the country,
the running time is about the same
as between Pendleton and Deschutes

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

CALIFORNIA; acceptance of woman sui
frage is undoubtedly in one sense a
political event Of large Importance. CIV

votes for women. That agitation, though
gathering momentum, had been making
few positive gains In the way of enlarg-
inc the right Of suffrage. In 1896 Utah
and Idaho joined Wyoming and Colo
RADIO. which had already given women
the franchise. But no other state could
be Influenced 10 remodel It's elective
system until 1910. when the people OF
Washington ratified an equal suffrage
amendment.
II could he said Of the pioneer states
i'm the movement that they were sparse
ly populated and might well afford TO
make an experiment of doubtful policy
i'm the larger and older states. 1t was
ike trying woman suffrage out under
glass case in a political experiment sta
ton But now that Washington, with
1141 600 population, and California
with 2.37IWO have shown their desire
TO put the equality idea into practice
the pressure behind it everywhere will
become more acute and the larger ana
older states will have TO take more seri-
Gus notice of its existence
The vote in California showS-as was
10 he eXpcctcd-that the resistance TO
woman suffrage IS stronger I'm the cities
than i'm the rural districts San Fran
cisco cast heavy majority against the
amendment but the back counties re-
versed the verdict of the urban voters.
On most issues Of this sort the country
is naturally more radical than the city.
Undoubtedly the liquor interest fears
the intrusion Of women into politics ana
can be counted upon TO use its great in
fiuence in the cities TO defeat move
ment which il regards rs hostile. Yet
such a fear may be uniuStitied. since
woman suffrage has not thus far i'm
posed prohibition on any state. and in
Denver there is no evidence of its hav-
ing hedged the liquor traffic about with
any unusual restrictions. II is probable
that both i'm California and Washington
woman suffrage will result i'm as few
surface changes in general political con
ditiOns as are observable to-day i'm Colo
RADIO. There will be no immediate or
radical "uplift," for it takes years for
women to accustom themselves 10 the
power Of the ballot and to use it cffec-
lively. either for the advantage Of the
state as whole or for their own mar
rover advantage.

Of a prosperous business of great mag

representation of subsidiaries as indie

tees In its prohibition ii is not sue

Of business morals. Perhaps through
their fake independents a combination

bona fdc rivals and possess their secrets
But to seek this is TO seek an unfair adj
vantage. and the law should not be
found fault with if it bars the way TO
obtaining an unfair advantage by dis
honorable means,
Price cutting of the sort that has been
familiar in the history of most combi-
nations that have been complained of is
also enioned. the big electric companies
which were defendants i'm this action
being forbidden to injure the business of
competitors by Offering their wares to
their competitors customers at prices
below those i'm their own trade. And the
contracts and agreements by which re-
tailers were compelled To buy only of

prices which The trust would name are
also declared 10 be contrary 10 law.
Moreover. the use of a monopoly under

growth that of all the competitors whose

away from the big companies any of the
advantages that are legitimately theirs.
They are at liberty TO outgeneral their

ATLANTIC cry CONVICTIONS.

The prompt conviction of the first two
men placed on trial for election frauds
il, Atlantic City is significant and may
prove 10 be Of farreaching influence II
presages the conviction of many more,
including. probably, some higher up,
since il Is an open secret that the case
against others is much stronger than
that against the two who were this week
found guilty. It can scarcely fail To
have an effect upon the coming election.
since the men indicted comprise most of
the prominent machine leaders. the
two convicted are conspicuous lieuten-
ants of the boss ana one Of them is a
city officer. and the next man 10 be tried
l. the candidate for Mayor i'm the pres
ent campaign, and he is TO be tried for
conspiring with the two men who have
lust been convicted for conspirng with
him.
These convictions are the first fruits Of
the new system Of drawing jurors by
elisOrs instead Of by the Sheriff. Under
the old system they would have been i'm
possible. Under the new system they
were secured easily aud quickly, the jury
agreeing as 10 the guilt of the defend
ants on the first ballot and returning the
verdict within half an hour after they
had retired for consultation. The infer
cnce is obvious and inevitable. one of
the systems must be grossly wrong. The
average thoughtful citizen will not hest
tate long 10 decide for himself which of
them it is. and whether in cases involy-
ing important political interests it is
more conducive to justice 10 have the
Jury selected by one of the politicians
chiefly interested or by two impartial
and nonpartisan men appointed by the
court.
We have spoken Of these as cases in
volying political interests I'm an impOr-
tant sense, however, they are not parti-
san cases. The dominant ring in Atlantic
City happens 10 be Republican or rather

call itself Republican; Just ms the SINH
larly corrupt ring in Hudson County
calls itself Democratic. 1t would be far
cical to pretend, however, that such men
have any real attachment to the princl-
pies of the party to which they profess
To- belong. They are "out for the goods
and they call themselves by whatever
marty name will best suit their purpose
Here in New York, city and state, we
have seen bipartisan rings, In which
party principles and even party success
were entirely subordinated to the sordid
personal interests of the rlngsters ana
their followers. That Is the situation III
Atlantic City. and If the Republican
ticket should suffer loss in the coming
election that fact would not denote the
defeat of the real Republican party, but
merely the popular reputation of those
who have been Incorporating under It's
name and who would at any time have
been as ready to call themselves Demo
Gratis or Socialists or Prohibitionists or
SupraIapshrianS, if thus their selfish pur-
noses would have been better served

REVERSIONS TO TYPE.
Writer So Classics Scotchmen Who
Settled in Ireland.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The trouble with "Scotch-lrishmen'
OF the Clarence MGInnis type is their ig-
norance OF both Scotch and Irish history.
The religion OF the Irish and Scotch was
wholly. and their history and customs were
largely. the same till the Reformation.
Hume says that the name OF Erse, or
Irish, given by the Scotch to their Ian
guage was a certain proof o. the tradition,
delivered from father to son, that they
came from Ireland.
Or. Shaw, the Scotch photographer, says:
ireland had all sorts of schools and col
leges. whittier the young of England and
other countries went for education. and all
the popular stories OF the Highlands agree
that every chief went TO Ireland for edu-
cation and the use of arms, from the fourth
TO the fifteenth century. Iona was founded
by the muniicence of the. Irish, and until
its dissolution all the abbots and monks,
one excepted, were Irish. The Irish are
acknowledged by all the world 10 have been
the most learned nation in Europe. When
the Highlander knows nothing Of Irish his
tory he knows nothing OF himself
Collins says: The Irish colonized Scot
land, gave it a name. a literature and
language: gave It hundred kings and gave
IT Christianity"
The Encyclopedia Britannica says the
Gaelic literature of Ireland and Scotland Is
almost wholly Irish; even the priceless
Scottish manuscripts preserved In Edin-
burgh arc, with two exceptions, in the clas-
sic Irish idiom and. characters.

a hundred kings before any modern great

RRLTlLN'N BIC R4TTLENHIP.


The King George Y has been described
as the biggest batteship ahoat. The &C
curacy Of that may be challenged. for
while the exact dimensions Of the ship
have not been disclosed il is understood
on good authority that it Is intended to
displace only about 1900 tons. whereas
the Argentine monsters recently launched
have a tonnage Of 27,G0O and our own
Wyoming and Arkansas. which are near
ing completion, rate at 10000 The Brit
ish ship is. however. the largest ever
launched 10y any European power and
that Is the real consideration.
The King George Y Is believed to no
so feet long between perpendiculars. or
59G over all. with a beam Of 80 feet 1t
will have four propellers driven by tur-
binc engines with an energy of $1,000
horsepower, which Is expected 10 be sufii-
cient 10 give it 81 knots speed, or half a
knot more than the Arkansas was de
signed TO make. The principal battery
will consist Of ten 13l2-inch guns, as
against twelve 12-inch guns on the Ar
kansas They will be mounted two In
each Of five turrcts placed along tls
centre line Of the ship and of such grad
uated heights that it will he possible to
fire four guns ahead or astern. and Cf
course all ten in broadSde. The second
airy battery will consist of finch guns.
while that Of the Arkansas contains
twenty-onc pinch guns.
Comparisons apart. the new British
ship is obviously one of the most formi-
dabe in the world and gives earnest Of
determination 10 maintain the supreme
naval power Of the British Empire The
recent report Of a change Of policy I'm the
construction of smaller vessels, has not
yet been verified by actual construction
or contract though il was made since
the King George V was laid down. That
il will be verified is regarded by many AZ
doubtful. If the 1872 inch guns prove sue
ceSsful, rs they are expected 10 do de-
spite some demoraliZing results Of their
firing on the Orion, it may be held that
in order TO secure sufficient stability for a
battery of ten or even more of them n
vessel of more than 10000 tons is neces-
Sary. I'm that case the dream OF smaller
and less costly ships fades away and the
tremendous burden Of monstrous floating
fCrtresSes continues
