The Result of a Lengthy

Washington, Feb. 27.-The supreme

Sherman antitrust, to invoke "the

straint of trade, is attacked in vigor.
our terms in report presented to
the senate by the interstate commerce
committee today which points out the
dangers of uncontrolled and unguided
judicial discretion" and makes en-
phatic demand for amendments to the
Sherman law to remove from the
courts the power to determine what

The report is the result of the COM
mittee's long investigation into op-

committee recommends new laws to
define exactly what combinations are
unlawful, so that both the business in
terests and the courts will have
standard upon which to proceed. It
recommends a federal interstate cor

supervise corporations, pass on and
approve combinations and agreements.

The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-06-29

The coneern of patriotic men Is
TO put our government again on Its
right basis, by substituting the pop
ular will for the rule of guardians,
the processes OF common counsel for
those OF private arrangement. In
order to do this, first necessity Is
to open the doors and let in the light
on all affairs which the people have
. right to know about
In the first place. II Is necessary
to open up all the processes of our
politics. They have been too secret.
too complicated. too roundabout;
they have consisted too much of pri-
waite conferences and secret under
standings, OF the control OF legisla-
ton by men who were not legislators.
but who stood outside and dictated.
controlling oftentimes by very ques-
tionable means, which they would
not have dreamed of allowing to be-
come public. The whole process
must be altered. We must take the
selection of candidates for ONCE. for
example, out OF the nanus or small
groups Of men. of little coteries. out
Of the hands of machines working
behind closed doors, and put 1t into
the hands of the people themselves
again by means of direct primaries
and elections to which candidates OF
every sort and degree may have free
access we must substitute pubic
for private machinery.

honest, public criticism would not
have conferred upon 1t. But the use
of money always results in democrat
ization, and goes beyond demoraliza-
ton to actual corruption. There are
two kinds Of ccrruption-the crude
and obvious sort, which consists in d.
rect bribery. ard the much subtler.
more dangerous. sort, which consists
In a corruption OF the will. Business
men who have tried to set up a con;
troll in politics through the machine
have more and more ,ceived them
selves. have allowed themselves to
think that the whole matter was a
necessary means Of self-defense have
said that 1t was a necessary outcome
Of our political system. Having re-
assured themselvcC in this way, they
have drifted from one thing to anoth-
er until the questions of morals in
volved have become hopelessly OBJ
scured and submerged. How far
eway from the ideals OF their youth
have mary Of our men OF business
drifted, enmeshed in the vicious sys-
tem-how far away from the days
when their nne young manhood was
wrapped in that chastity OF honor
which felt stain like a wound"

attaches 10 tho machine itself has
begun 20 attach also to business en-
terprises, just because these ccnnec-
tions are known to exist. II these
connections were open and avowed, II
everybody knew Just what they in
volved and just what use was being
made Of them. there would be no
difficulty III keeping an eye upon at
fairs and In controlling them by pub.
lie opinion. But. unfortunately, the
whole process of iawmaking in Amer
lea is very obscure one. There is
no highway of legislation. bur there
are many by-wayA Parties are not
organized in such q way in our legis-
men avowedly responsible for the
course OF legislation. The whole
process OF discussion. II any discus
sion at all takes place. Is private and
shut away from public scrutiny and
knowledge There are SO many cir
cles within circles. there are so many
indirect ana private ways of getting
at legislative action, that our COM
munities are constantly uneasy dur
ing legislative sessions. 1t Is this
confusion and obscurity and privacy
OF our legislative method that gives
the political machine its opportunity.
There 10 no publicly responsible man
or group Of men who are known to
formulate legislation and to take
charge Of 1t from the time Of its
Introduction until the time Of It's en-
actment. It has, therefore, been pos
sible for an outside force-the poll
teal machine. the body u men who
nominated tho legislators ana who
conducted the contest for their cleo
tion-to assume the rcle OF control.
Business men who desired some
thing done in the way Of changing the
law under which they wero acting. or
who wished to prevent legislation
which seemed to them to. threaten
their own interests. have known that
there was this definite body Of per-
sons to resort to. and they have made
terms with therl. They have agreed
to supply them whit money for cam
raign expenses and to stand by them
in all other cases where neney was
necessary IL In return they might re-
sort to them for protection or for
assistance in matters OF legislation.
Legislators looked to a certain man
who was not even a member OF their
body for instructions a. to what they
we're to do with particular bills The
machine. which was the center OF
party organization, was the natural
Instrument Of control, and men who
had business interests to promote
naturally resorted to the body which
exercised the control.
There need have been nothing sim
lister about this, IL tho whole mat
ter had been open and candid and
