Of the work connected with their pas
sage. Keeping the situation in hand,
holding conferences with the legisla-
ture, crowding the bills through the
two houses and seeing that there is no
material delay and no injurious amend
ments are features of the program.
The closing of Mr.. Wilson's work in
the state does not end even here.
There are several minor measures in
which he is vitally interested, such as
reform of the procedure in drawing
juries, abolition of railway grade
crossings, reform of the taxation laws
and the calling of a convention to
amend the constitution of New Jersey.
The "Seven Sisters"
Governor Wilson calls his antitrust
bills the "seven sisters" What some
of the trust people call them is not
printed here for reasons of propriety
although the new head of the harves-
ter trust is reported to have spoken of
them as the seven commandments.
The keynote of the proposed legisla-
tion is that guilt is personal" In
other words, it is proposed to send
somebody to Jail. In the past, except
in few minor instances, 1t has been
impossible to get conviction under
the criminal clause of the Sherman
antitrust law. American juries will
not vote to send trust malefactors to
prison. That, of course, is under the
federal law. Under these proposed
state laws the crimes for which trust
directors and officers may be criminal
ly convicted are more closely defined
If the bills are enacted the offending
corporation may lose not only it's char
ter, but the directors, dummy or other
wise, may be convicted of a misde
meanor, with a maximum penalty of
three years Imprisonment or $1,000
fine, Holding companies are also pre-
vented in future. The laws are not
retroactive, so that holding companies
already formed may continue, provided
they do none of the things prohibited
under the new statutes. The definition
of trust is laid down as follows:
A trust is a combination or agreement
between corporations, firms persons,
any two or more of them, for the follow
ing purposes, and such trust is hereby de-
clared to be illegal and indictable:
First-To create or carry out restric-
tions In trade or to acquire a monopoly
either In intrastate or interstate business
or commerce.
Second.-To limit or reduce the produc-
tion or increase the price of merchandise
or OF any commodity.
Third.-To prevent competition in man
ufacturing. making. transporting. selling

Rising Above Self Interest.
One effect of this legislation may be
to deprive the state of New Jersey of
more than $3OO0,000 annual revenue.
1t is a hopeful fact and a fine COM
tI,nt
phase of the question has had little eff
feet in the state. The people of New
Jersey are showing the disposition to
rise above all selfish considerations in
the matter and to legislate only for
what they think right and beneficial to
the people of the entire country.
1t is also hopeful and not a little
surprising that the corporations them
selves are making little open fight
against the bills. They evidently have
concluded to face the inevitable and
make the best of it.
There are only few states left that
offer special inducements to corpora
lions to organize under their laws.
These measures will take New Jersey
out of this class and will place her
abreast of the other states having anti
trust legislation. That these laws will
go any great way toward solving the
trust question Is not contended. This
is national and must be dealt with by
the nation. Governor Wilson by these
bills is simply clearing the ground for
tackling the bigger question, which he
will meet as President Wilson.

after Mr.. Wilson becomes president OF
the United States. In his last message
to the legislature the governor paid a
high tribute to Senator Fielder and to
the other loyal legislators who have up
held him in his battle for reforms in
New Jersey.
Other notable items in this farewell
message, aside from those already
mentioned, including radical revision
of the corporation laws, further taxa
alton reform, eliminating grade cross
ings and advocating a state constitu-
tional convention, were a recommends
ton for commission government in all
cities and advocacy of full crew"
bill for railroads. 1t was in this mes
sage that the fine passage occurred de-
claring that the future belongs to those
who serve without a selfish purpose.
Every indication is that the Wilson
antitrust bills will pass the New Jer-
sey Legislature and that he will have
an opportunity to sign them before re-
linquishing the governorship. That
would be fitting ending for his work
in the state. Taking it all in all and
aside from partisanship, is there any
finer example in American politics?
This is the sort of thing that appeals
to the imagination and on which his.
torians love to dwell. 1t is at once an
auspicious ending of Mr.. Wilson's work
as governor and a prophecy Of his
work as president. This man who has
written so much history is now enact
ing history.

Trust Question National.

AS to the bearing of the proposed leg
islation on his national work the gov
ernor has refused to commit himself.
When asked point blank as to whether
these bills embodied his ideas of the
way, the nation should deal with the
trusts he answered rather dryly:
"They embody my ideas of the way
New Jersey should deal with the ques-
ton"
On this point we are free to form our
own conclusions. Practically all of
these New Jersey corporations do a ma
tional business. The abuses of which
they are guilty are not state, but ma
tional. Because of our dual system of
government the remedies must be both
state and national. 1t is well known
that Governor Wilson himself believes

Paris. March 16.-A passion for war
seems to be sweeping over all the
countries OF Europe. The Balkan
states have found a field. Of expression
for their militancy, but countries
which have not this vent are expend-
ing their. energies in warlike prepara-
tons. The small states are involved
equally with the greater powers, and
today France. Germany, Austria, Bel
GUM and Switzerland are taking se-
|rtous count Of their military prepared
ness.
Belgium is raising her army from
q war footing Of 100000 to $4,000
men. Baron de Broqueville, the Bel
CLAN minister Of war. in concluding q
speech on this subject before the Bel
gian chamber. urged that the army
increase be voted as quickly as posi-
BILE. for. the sake. Of "Belgian security
and honor" The country lives under
the shadows Of the great states. the
minister declared, and Belgium must
put forth great exertions to protect
her frontiers should her neighboring
powers fall upon each other.
The most important newspapers of
Switzerland are publishing the oficial
notices Of the government warning
Swiss citizens residing in European
countries to hold themselves in readi-
ness to return Immediately in the
event OF war, and Swiss living in the
Omitted" States have been requested to
stand ready to come back to Switzer-
land on call. The Swiss republic, un-
der its present military organization,
could put into the field 100. 900 men in
twenty-four hours and 100000 in for
ty-eight hours. One-third Of the gov
ernment's revenues are spent on mill
tary objects. In case Of supreme nee
essity, the government expects to be
able to place 275,000 men under arms
within a week.
The French cabinet has adopted a
measure extending the term Of service
in the army from two to three years;

Indians RETURN
FROM WASHINGTON

Land Claims to FEEDER

Ryder, N. D., March 15.-Supervis-
or Rosencranz and the delegation of
Indians from Elbowoods. composed of
Joe Packineau. Louis w. Baker, John
P. Young and Drags Wolf. have ar
rived home from Washington, where
they had gone to present their claims
before the Indian department. The
officials promised to try and get a bill
introduced in the next congress for
the sale of the coal lands on the res
ervation. Regarding their claims for
the old n. p. land grants. they would
not commit themselves, but instructed
the Indians to employ an attorney to
present their case before the court Of
claims. The Indians held a big coun-
Gil at Elbowoods. at which time the
committee made their report. ::
An interesting event occurred at
Washington while the Indians We're in
the office of the Indian department.
Commissioner Abbott made the re-
quest Of the Indians present. fifty
seven in number. that they dress up
in their old Indian regalia and attend
h ceremony of the dedication of the
site for the Indian monument at New
York. Joe Packineau of Elbowoods
arose and requested the privilege OF
making a few. remarks. He stated
that twenty years ago the commission
Ell had started out to civilize him. had
made him wear the white mans
clothes and adopt his customs. and
that after this lapse Of time he did
not Ire to put on the regalia and
paint his face to become a spectacle
at the dedication. and that if he could
not attend the ceremonies without do
ing 80 he would remain at Washing
ton. This rather stumped the COM
missioner and other officials. but the
request was not urged and Joe attend
ed the big doings. in. civilized clothes.
Two others, Louis Baker and John
Young. both of Elbowoods, did like
wise. These three out of the fifty
seven Indians present from all owe
the United States, We're the only ones
who did not put on the regalia, and
their action reflects great credit upon
the Berthold Indian reservation.
