WHERE RESPONSIBILITY WILL REST.

The proposition of the Eastern railroad managers
to constitute commission along the lines provided
for in the Erdman act only larger, to arbtrate their
differences with their fremen gives time for a
breathing spell if nothing else As long as both
sides profess willingness to arbtrate there is hope
that the country will not be subjected to the noler-
able conditions that would result from a tie-up of
the great railroad systems east of the mississippi
river.
Tne employees have clear advantage in the dis
pute in that they have stood ready all along to SUBJ
nit their cause to the tribunal provided for by the
only law applicable to the situation.
70 1t may be true, as the railroad managers assert,
that this tribunal is too small and is not properly
constituted to grapple with problem of such mag
nitude, involving interests enormous and so d.
verse But it is the means provided by Congress
for just sucn an emergency as has now arisen, and
while the public will be glad to see the differences
submitted to different tribunal, the side which re-
fuses to submit to an adjustment which has worked
heretofore reasonably WELL to say the least.

that violation of the law essential to their ex-
istence. Nor that corporate dissolution would
stop individual crime and wash away personal guilt
The public did not want business men sent to Jail
just for the fun of seeing them behind the bars.
What the public wants is that eminent business men
be made to understand that if they violate the law
they 60 to Jail just like ordinary criminals. Then
they would stop violating the law.
Fines on their corporations wouldn't make them
stop violating the law. Their corporations migh
make enough money out of one violation to pay all
the fines imposed in century. Dissolution proceed
ings wouldn't make them stop violating the law If
dissolution didn't do them any irreparable damage
and nobody has yet discovered what irreparable
damage was done to any corporation by any dissolu-
ton decision
But going to Jail would make eminent business
stop violating the law. And now when it is seen
that juries will convict whole boards of directors and
long strings of officials, and that judges will sentence
the convicted to Jail, it is as sure as anything
be that business men going 70 stop violating
the Sherman law, whether it is good law or a bad
law whether its provisions are just or unjust

APPROPRIATIONS" FOR BUNCOMBE

very large share of the appropriation bills that
are introduced in Congress are never intended or
expected to become laws to execute drafts on the
Treasury. They are the politicians certificate oi
zeal and activity in behalf of his constituents They
must not be taken too seriously
None the less, there is increasing tendency to
come to Congress with constant and increasing de-
mands for Federal money; and there is too much
laxity about granting it. Congressman Fitzgerald of
Brooklyn did big thing the other day when he pro-
tested against item of S35OOOo being included in
the public building bill, to do work the Brooklyn
postoffice. Mr. Fitzgerald hadn't asked that money,
and he had nerve enough to say he didn't want it.
Evidently Mr. Fitzgerald has confidence that he stands
so well with his people that he dares be square with
his job. That is some confidence; and it ought to
help, rather than nure, the Appropriations chairman
at home

LET IN THE LIGHT ON MEXICO.

Resolutions have been introduced in Congress
asking the President to send to it copies of all COM
munications the Administration has received concern
ing conditions in Mexico. The resolutions contain
the usual saving clause, IF not incompatible with
the public interest," which leaves the decision with
the President
1t is not very apparent why these resolutions
should not pass. Ii is difficult to believe that any
important public interest would suffer In the pres
ent Juncure, light, facts TRUTH definite understand
ing of actual conditions, greatly needed There
has been suspicion that diplomatic representation
IN Mexico has been unfriendy to Madero If all the
documents were opened to public inspection illumna-
ton might be had this and other important points
Public opinion based on full understanding of all
the facts, o6gh to determine the course Of this Gov
ernment in such condition as confronts us in Mex
ico There ought to be as few secrets as possible
between the Government and its people in such a
matter as this. If there are large, determinatve
reasons why the facts should not be exposed now,
we'll and good But the decision ought to be made
with recognition that the public needs to know. and
doubts should be resolved in favor of giving it all
the facts possible

FORMS OF TAXCAB GRAFT.

They are looking into various forms of taxicab
graft in New York. We have one form in Wash.
ington that needs attention.
A. traveller takes cab to the Union Railway Sta
ton, mentioning that he is hurried; must catch a
certain train When he gets there his time is just
about exhausted His meter charge is, say, 80 cents.
He hands over dollar.
The driver can be counted on, in about three
cases out of four, to have no change He's sorry;
not broken hearted but as regretful as cab driver
could be expected to be the prospect of getting
that extra 20 cents The patron has no time to seek
change. The driver gets the difference, and goes
away entirely satisfied.
It's a form of hold-up that should be stopped
by requirement that drivers be prepared to give
change, and give it promptly.

A STATUE OF MEADE In WASHINGTON.

While so many able soldiers of the civil war are
being honored by posterity, it is gratifying that the
Senate has passed bill for statue of Mai. Gen.
George G. Meade in Washington. The semi-cen-
tennial year of Gettysburg will be an appropriate
time in which to accord him tnis distinction. Site
and pedestal will be furnished by the United States
Government at "a cost of $4,000 and Pennsylvania
will contribute the figure, for which $4,000 will be
available.
Meade was not snowy commander, but he faced
the genius of Lee with credit after Mcclellan Pope
Burnside and Hooker had failed to accomplish what
was demanded of them. There was storm of criti-
clsm when he forebore to follow the Confederate
cheftain from Gettysburg as fast as he might have
done, but history is gradually making it clear that
his own army mad sustained tremendous shock
which might we'll have deferred cautious general
from taking risks with it.
