WEST AND PHELPS.

If the newspapers which have been
hammering Governor West so per-
sistently because of his use of the pa
role have the jewel of consistency in
their crown, Circuit Judge G.. w.
Phelps bids fair to develop an un-
popularity with them, for that court
official has on several occasions of
late sentenced certain offenders to
the penitentiary and then promptly
placed them on parole. His oper-
ations along this line have certainly
not been on as an extensive scale as
have the governors for the very obvi-
Gus reason that the confines of his
Jurisdiction are narrower, but the
principle involved is the same.
Governor West and Judge Phelps
are both working upon the theory
that II is better to save man than
to make q criminal, wiser to redeem
an offender of the law from a crimi-
nal tendency he is developing than it
IS to confirm him in his evil ways,
more just to lend a hand in assist
ance than to condemn to cruel
punishment the man who first fall
ters in his steps and swerves from

COMBINATIONS.
(san Francisco EXPRESS !

(San Francisco Express)
1t is a sign of good portent that
our great captains of industry and
the famous lawyers who helped them
in their formation of their great COM
mercial combinations have been, of
late, showing more becoming mod
esty There was time, not so long
ago, when they did "bestride this mar
row world like Colossi." Never had
there been aggregation of capital and
mbinations like unto theirs, never
had there been financial and indus
trial genius comparable to that of our
day and generation-such was the
spotlight in which they sought to place
themselves and their achievements be-
fore an admiring and awed world.
But, having almost convinced the
plain people that the world really had
ne'er known the like of such combina-
tions before, and finding this convic-
ton had sunk into the popular mind
to such an extent that legal process
ses were put to work for the disinte-
grafton of these great combinations.
Some of them are now coming for
ward with the information that there
Is really nothing new about these lat
ter-day giant combinations; are assert
ing that the monopolization of indus
try has been going on since the ear
liest civilizations, and that since it has
not succeeded up to now in killing
competition. there is really not so
much cause for apprehension as has
been imagined.
Mr.. victor Morawetz counsel in the
formation of the United States Steel
Corporation, in public address a
Few nights ago, said:
The view that a great change has
taken place in economic develop
ment, and that the era of competition
| Is dead, I believe to be a mistake
History shows that from the earliest
days men have attempted. whenever
opportunity offered, to monopoIize in
dustries"
Mr. Morawetz is right. But always
the effecting of monopoly has pro-
duced arrogance in those who made
themselves powerful thereby, and al
ways has the existence of monopoly
pred popular discomfort, Just as now

UP his mind to teach them a lesson.
His knowledge of astrology having
given him foreknowledge, while yet it
was winter, that there would be an
abundant crop of olives during the
| next summer season, he managed on
borrowed money to get control of all
the olive congresses in Miletus and
| Chios. Thereby he accumulated a
great fortune and convinced the cap
tains of industry of that day. as Ar
istotle says. that, while wisdom could
always produce wealth, wealth did not
always produce wisdom.
Which story may have a moral for
some of our present day captains of

THE AVERAGE MAN.

There is a theory in social science
that all our progress-industria So
cial, morals due-to an ''aristeeracy"
OF superior men and women. NAL
lock is the leading living expounder
of this theory; Carlyle, of course. it
its greatest defender in classical lit
erature.
Colonel Roosevelt takes no stock"
in this theory He has just paid
tribute to the plain people, the aver
age man, and has reminded the gift
ed few, the leaders. of their debt to
the mass of humanity The "hero"
does not live or labor in social va
cuum. He depends on the multitude
for support, inspiration, appreciation.
His suggestions may be original. but
they would remain empty If the plain
people were not intelligent enough to
receive them. Moreover, the greatest
man is educated in social atmos-
phere. created by millions, dead and
living, of less gifted men The seer
Is he who understands human nature
human need and human possibility.
The truly great is humble, as Col
onel Roosevelt says. He SERVES"
and therein is his glory. He is made"
by the faith and affection of average
man, his strength is borrowed, and ar
rogance. vanity, selfishness would be
fatal to him. History is full of such
lessons. The history of free, edueat-
ed, democratic civilizations will be
even fuller of them.-Chicago Rec
ord-Herald.

a most commendable fulfillment of
his official privilege in republican.

According to press reports, there is
a strong probability that Rev. Richie
sen win expiate his crime in the cleo
trio chair. There are no extenuating
circumstances in connection with his
crime and certainly there should be
no modification of the penalty oussof
respect for his cloth. A minister who
ruins young girl and then deliber-
ately murders her in order that she
be no obstacle to his marriage with
an heiress, deserves punishment as
severe as would be meted out to tough
o. the slums guilty of a similar Of
fense. He deserves it more. for he
has brought shame to the door of the
noble profession in which he was en-
gagged.

Yesterday Judge Phelps sentenced
young man of this city to a term
in the penitentiary but. when appli-
cation was made for. parole on the
ground OF extenuating circumstances,
he granted the application because he
believed that the circumstances which
led up to the commission of the crime
we're extenuating. He knew that the
young man had dependent upon him
an aged and infirm mother and an
invalid sister. VINO, without their son
and brother, must become destitute.
He knew that another sister had but
recently died and that the expenses
Incident to her sickness and funeral
were burdensome obligations to the
family and he knew that the young
man, out of employment, experience
ed difficulty in providing the neces-
saries of life to those dependent up
on him, that the grocer refused to
extend his credit and that his credi-
tors were pressing hard upon him.
He did not know but he believed
that the young man. driven to desper-
alton by the demands of those to
whom he was indebted. deliberately
forged the name of a reputable citi-
zen to a note and. with that name as
security, was able to secure suffici-
ent money to ltquidate his obliga-
tions to some of his more insistent
creditors. He believed that the young
man had no intent to defraud but
meant to cancel the note with money
promised him on a legitimate loan.
knowing some of the particulars and
convinced of others, the judge. while
not condoning the wrongful act but
on the other hand condemning il in
unqualified terms, had enough hu-
manity within his bosom to give the
youth a chance to correct his error
by granting him his liberty as long
as he remains a law abiding citizen.
The crime to which the young man
pleaded guilty is punishable by long
term in the penitentiary and there
are undoubtedly those, who, safe in
the consciousness of their own ad-
amantine righteousness under any set
If circumstances, will cry out against
this perversion of the laws purpose,
as they term it. Yet who shall say
| that in acting as he did, Judge Phelps
did not save a human soul from the
life of crime? Who shall say that,
had he been conscious only of the
/ iron hardness and stern cruelty OF
the law, that he would not have added
