Of Federal Judge For
Arizona.

The Senate Is having a hard wrestle
with the confirmation of Judge Richard
Sloan, whom President Taft has named
for Federal judge from Arizona.
Last evening the Senate was in execu-
tive session for two hours, and a bitter
fight was waged over Sloan behind
closed doors.
Senators Ashhurst and Mark Smith of
Arizona led the night on Sloan, whom
they accuse Of being unfit for the ap.
pointment, a railroad sympathizer, and
a friend of the interests.
Senators Smoot. Dillingham;, and
O'Gorman defended Sloan. Senator
OGorman was head of a subcommittee
that investigated the charges and he
held the investigation showed there was
no adequate basis for the rejection OF
Sloan. 1t was developed that the Amer.
lean Federation of Miners is opposed
to Sloan because he Is against the re-
call The Southern Pacific is also op-
posed to him.
: 1t is expected Sloan will be confirmed

PENALlZINC CORRUPT PRACTICES.

After unseatng tine Republican Representative
from the Eleventh Congress district Of Pennsyl-
vana the ground that corrupt practices had been
used in his campaign, the House then refused to
seat the Democratic contestant because he had elm.
ployed the same tactics.
Almost invariably the practice mas been to seat
the contesting candidate when the sitting member
was put out Unfortunately the division of egisla-
tive bodies on these contests has been more or less
along partisan lines The action of the House CRATE
fully departs from deplorable custom.
Eventually there should be Federal and State laws
against corrupt practices at elections which will pen.
alize them, not only with the loss of the office to
which he has been chosen by the man who INDUCES
in them, but with fine and imprisonment. Sucn laws
likewise should apply to primary contests. There
never can be fair elections without effective penal
ties for unfair methods Of campaigning. The House
serves the cause Of fair elections in uphoding the
principle so conspicuously ndorsed by its action in
the Pennsylvania case.

ENFORCING THE PARTY WILL.

Putting its preaching into practice, the Progress.
sive organization has adopted tine recall for its Ma
tional Committee Also the principle Of the nitia-
tive and referendum has been applied to the ruling
body Of the party.
Thus on demand Of Is per cent Of its member
ship the National Committee may be compelled to
meet and take action within thirty days on measure
proposed by the petitioners after the chairman or
the Executive Committee has rejected it, Any officer
or committee Of the national party may be recalled

rs per cent of the National Committees member

will keep them on their good behavior. 1t will dis

EASY ON THE HORSE SHOE TRUST.

Mr.. Wickershams latest attack on monopoly takes
the same old worthless method of civil suit for in
junction and dissolution. The Attorney General has
followed this familiar and futile practice in his pro-
ceedings against the Horse Shoe trust.
Victims Of conspracies in restraint Of trade have
been disappointed every time the Attorney Genera
has tried to give them relief by civil actions under
the Sherman law. The history of each Of these many
cases is that they have dragged along for years
through the courts, and that at las when the final
judgment has come from tine United States Supreme
Court it has left the monopoly just strong ever.
There is no hope that the Horse Shoe trust will be
destroyed by hitting it with this stuffed club.
The most that can be hoped for from civil pro-.
ceedings against monopolies by Mr.. Wickersnam is
that they will not embarrass his successor in attempts
to enforce the really effective penalties of the Sher
man law

HIGH TIDE IN TOYLAND.

America is making nroads upon the old toy
making monopoly once enjoyed by France and Ger
many. In the production Of handmade toys the
foreign experts, who in many instances inherit their
expertness from the medieval craftsmen of Paris
and Nuremberg, still in the lead, but American
manufacturers are more than holding their own as
regards electrical and macnne-made toys In the
electric toy field, indeed our manufacturers are
actually exporting their wares to countries which.
not so many years ago, produced supply for the
whole Western world. 1t seems strange that the
common little animal pieces which fill the old d-fash-
ioned Noah's ark should still be cut out by inand
abroad The labor in this department of the Christ
mas toyland must be cheap indeed But extremes
meet in Europe, for from the same ancient head.
