Only One Filing day Left.

Tomorrow is the last day in which
Washington residents of political In
clinations may express them in such a
legal form as to permit them to enter
the primaries September 10 for the
nomination for county or state Of
fees. An unusually large nmber of
candidates have filed during this term,
due largely to the division in the Re-
publican ranks and the consequent
enthusiasm held by the Democrats,
more of whom have filed than for sew
eral years.

Large flatboats were used to carry

u am not one of those who think
that competition can be established by
law against the drift OF worldwide
tendency. Big business Is
not dangerous because it is big, but
because its bigness is an unwhole-
some imitation created by privileges
and exemptions which 1t ought not to
enjoy,
The general terms OF the present
federal anti-trust law. forbidding COM
binations In restraint of trade have
proved Intellectual. 1t will
be necessary to supplement the pres
ent law with such laws. both civil and
criminal as will effectually punish and
prevent those methods, adding such
other laws as may be necessary to
provide suitable and adequate judicial
processes, whether civil or criminal
to disclose them and follow them to
final verdict and judgment.

Two Things to DO.

Two Things to DO.
There are two great things to do.
One is to set up the rule of justice and
of right in such matters as the tariff,
the regulation of the trusts and the
prevention of monopoly, the adapta-
ton of our banking and currency laws
70 the varied uses to which our people
must put them, the treatment of those
who do the daily labor in our factories
and mines and throughout all our
great industrial and Commercial un-
dertakings. and the political life of
the people of the Philippines.
"The other is the great task of pro-
tecting our people and our resources
and of keeping open to the whole peo-
pie the doors of opportunity through
which they must pass If they are to
make conquest of their fortunes
The Tariff Question.
The tariff question. as dealt with in
our time at any rate, has not been
business. 1t has been politics. Tariff
schedules have been made up for the
purpose of keeping as large number
as possible of the rich and influential
manufacturers of the country in a
good humor with the Republican par
ty, which desired their constant finan-
cial support.
Il say nothing for the moment about
the policy of protection. We denounce
the Payne Aidrich tariff act as the
IL
have so often shown themselves will
and monopolistic advantages which
the leaders of the Republican party
have SO often sohwn themselves will
ing to extend to those to whom they
looked for campaign contributions.
Tariff duties, as they have en-
ployed them, have not been a means of
setting up an equitable system of pro-
lection. They have been, on the con-
trary. a method of fostering special
privilege. They have made IT easy to
establish monopoly in our domestic
markets. Trusts have owed their orr
gin ana their secure power to them.
Urges Prudeuee.,
We do not ignor the fact that the
business of country like ours Is ex-
ceedingly sensitive to changes in legis-
lation OF this kind. 1t has been built
up. however ill-advisedly. upon tariff
schedules written in the way I have
indicated. and its foundations must
not be too radically or too suddenly
disturbed. When We act we should
act with caution and prudence, like
men who know what they are about,
and not like those In love with a
theory.
