There Will be no overtures by the
republican leaders to the man who
left the regular organization in the
last election. looking to a reorganiza-
ton Of the party. Harry NJ. Daugh-
erty Of Columbus. Ohio. chairman of
the Ohio republican committee. who
Is probably as close to President Taft
politically as any man in the party,
took this position when he assumed
h head Of the republican organiza-
ton in the Buckeye state. Mr.. Daugh-
erty has had numerous conferences
with the president since the election.
and in discussing the future OF the
Party Mr.. Daugherty said:
NO reorganization Of the republi-
can party Is necessary or in contem-
plation by anybody that I know Of.
The republican party which has made

DEsIRI: OF nj

Congressman Il. X. Focht of Penn.
sylvania Is impressed With the fact
that the republican party is in a on
ditton OF division which makes it inn
possible for 1t to effect anything in
national legislation or to secure any
part in the national government. The
same fact impressed itself on many
Others But Mr.. Focht may rightly
presume that he is among the lesser
number who have had the obvious fact
horne in upon them with special force
by being numbered among the slain.
Wherefore. Mr.. Focht is especially
impressed with the necessity that the
republican party must reach a condi-
tion of union. and develops that
thought at some length in an article
published in the L%ewisburg News.
This major premise is also unexcep.
tionable. The republican party, as
the Times has heretofore remarked,
is split as radically al the democracy
Was i'll 1895. and it remains to be seen
whether 1t will taxi the sixteen years
that the democrats required to unite
the fracture.
But 1t is much easier to recognize
the fact than to tell how the division
shall be cured. Mr.. Focht declares
his belief that President Taft made a
mistake in not withdrawing when he
was defeated at the primaries in
Pennsylvania. Ohio. illinois. and that
Colonel Roosevelt made a mistake
when. having failed in the nomina.
tion. he set up the third party. On this
point, too. he will fnd few %dissidents
except among the extremists Of both
factions. We think there will be gem
eral agreement that four years hence
some other nomination than either
Taft or Roosevelt will be necessary
for the republican party.
But on the question on what prin-
ctples the reunited party shall stand
II 's not go easy to Prescribe. Aud
Mr.. Focht's pronouncement illustrates
that difficulty. For writing with an
earnest desire for uniting the frae-
ments he r.-.sserts the principles
which the republican party avowed
IN the last campaign. rejects those
which the progressives professed, and
so places the reunion On a basis which
VIII require a practical recantation on
the part Of h latter wing. whose
principal plank is that the republican
organization is hopelessly corrupt and
reactinnary.
The fact is that the wounds are still
too fresh to expect the healing process
to set in. Two years hence there NAV
ne some success in getting the repub-
Leans together on the congressional
elections. which will be the more like.
Iy TO be successful II both factions
eliminate he influence of bosses in
controlling elections.

COMPLETELY FORBIDDEN.

The pro1npt rejection by the United
States supreme court Of the claim that
the unjust sales act Of South Dakota
Is involved. casts Hight on q n1iscon-
ception that is very widespread. This
law makes it a crime to sell a COM
modify lower than is charged by the
seller in the general market when 1t
appears that such underselling was
done with the intent to destroy the
competition Of an established dealer In
such commodity or to prevent COM
petition by any person who. in good
faith, attempts to become a dealer.
There is a very general idea. ex-
pressed more or less specifically in
more than one political platform. that
the laws as they stand at present do
not forbid this practice. In this case
the fact is brought out that laws Of
that description enacted by at least
ten :.tates Of the union. are valid;
and that every state can. If 1t chooses.
protect its people against that Inn
position. The matter would seem to
be more. a matter for state turisdic-
diction than for the national; but the
prohibition of the law does not halt
there.
The democratic platform. evidently
under the impression that the ma
tional law does not prohibit this prac-
tice. contained a plank calling for an
act Of congress like this one. The
actual fact is that the United States
supreme court specifically declared
that this practice is.fully covered by
the Sherman act, and that p%rice-cut-
ting with intent to destroy competi.
ton is IN unlawful restraint OF trade
and presumptive evidence of the at
tempt to destroy competition.
This illustrates the really made
quate view Of the Sherman Law. which
the talk Of more specific prohibi-
ton" represents. The fact is that the
Sherman Law was framed designedly
for the purpose Of covering and for
bidding every act that can be used to
build up and sustain a monopoly.
That was the avowed purpose Of Ed
munds and Hoar and their associates
on the committee that framed 1t. The
supreme court has recognized this in
the Standard Oil and other cases.
Things that are innocent II that pur-
pose is not behind them are viola
tons Of the law II used for that end.
To weaken this comprehensive and
absolute prohibition by specific ella U.s.
es would be the reverse of beneficial.
