SOME Trust APHoRlsMs.

Outlook: In view of the references
In Mr. Prices article on another page
to the problems involved in monopoly,
competition, and government control of
corporations, we take this occasion to
restate certain general principles which
the Outlook has long held:
Private monopoly Is intolerable
Mere combination is not monopoly
The tendency towards combination is
an inevitable and wholesome tendency.
The way to prevent private monopoly
is not to dissolve combinations, but to
remove from private hands the power
to do those things which create mon
opoly-namely, to fix prices, to restrict
output, and to deteriorate quality. (This
is the definition of monopoly by the su-
preme court of the United States.)
Dissolution through suits at law is
sometimes necessary, but 1t must not
be mistaken for control of corporations
or prevention of monopoly.
Where combination is possible. COM
petition is impossible. (This is say
ing of George Stephenson, the father
of steam railways.)
Bigness is not badness
Unfair competition is often the pred
ecessor of monopoly.
The prevention of unfairness is prob
lem of administrative regulation
The enforcement of competition cures
nothing.
The prevention of monopoly is better
than its cure.
So long as the antitrust law is on
the statute books, it should be enforced.
A reasonable intarnreta tior 30 tbat
law Is the only kind of Interpretation
that Is tolerable.
Where regulation is effective, combin-
alton Is not to be feared.
Regulation is not a synonym for re-
preston.
The object of regulation is not only
the prevention of evils but the promo
ton of efficiency.

A GOOD SIGN.

Outlook: William Barnes, Jr., Is re-
garded as the most powerful political
ma mayer in the republican party. He
is certainly one Of the most powerful
political managers in the United
States He has never pretended 10
conceal his opposition to measures
which have for their object the extern
sion OF popular control over party or %
ganiZations. He has shown himsef
time and again to be an astute and re-
sourceful leader of what is known as
the machine in his party; that Is.
the well-drilled body of men who make
politics a vocation.
He has brought suit against the sup
erintendent OF the Anti-Saloon League
OF the state of New York for calling
him in an open letter the boss OF the
liquor end of the republican party" Mr.
Barnes objects to the word boss" as
an opprobrious term as applied to those
who through domination and control

properly. immorally. and illegally influ-
ence or attempt to Influence, party
representatives in public office to per-
form acts in violation of their oath OF
office and against the general welfare,
subordinating their wills to the will of
the boss"
We do not believe that Mr. Barnes Is
right in declaring that this Is the ex-
elusive meaning of the word boss, as
commonly understood His action, how
ever IL welcome index to a change
in public sentiment 1t was not so very
long ago that the term boss" was
widely regarded as complimentary. The
man who was called boss was in
eined to be proud OF the title as a
tribute to his power. Mr.. Platt. Mr..
Barness predecessor as the dominant
republican in New York politics. was
known as the Easy Boss and no
doubt the title gave him qualification.
Now Mr.. Barnes, who has never been
accused of being thin skinned or sup
ersensitive. objects not only to the term
the boss of the liquor end of the re-
publican party but even to the simple
title boss He apparently believes
that the thing for which that term
stands has become a reproach. His
suit is an acknowledgement on the part
of an adroit political manager that pub
lie sentiment during the past few years
has become educated. 1t is a good sign.

THAT federal figures are not needed In

| The sudden let-up In the talk OF a
constitutional bar in the case of the
candidacy of Chief Justice Ailshie for
the United States senatorship by the
hackers of French Is not in the least
hurting French's candidacy for the same
office. 1t was generally thought that
French had nothing to do with these
insane attacks upon one of the chief
contenders for this high position and
those who know him and his methods
OF politics blamed only the over jealous
ness of his friends.
French can be counted real con-
tender for the senatorship when second
choice votes are considered, for IL will
be second choice votes which will de-
eide whom the nominee shall be.
II French were able to keep down the
stencil from that miserable farce per-
petrated at Boise by members of the
last legislature in his name he might
be picked as a winner. AS he refused
to ask his friends to- withdraw his
name after he had no chance to win
and thus threw the election to Brady
he made no friends for himself and
some OF his erstwhile friends switched
to Ailshie who otherwise would have
been elected.
No one has ever figured that Brady
or Gooding were not In the fight Brady
has used his short time In the senate
TO good advantage and his accomplish
ments rank well with first termers
Gooding is an able politician and has a
host of friends.
However, judging from all outward
signs at the present time. Ailshie Is
the one best guess for the nomination
He has a big majority of the newspa-
pers of the state. both In the northern
and southern part. and his acquaintance
Is probably as large as that of any one
OF the candidates His ability to fill the
place cannot be discounted, and as a
result getter he would make most fit

But after nomination there win be as

sidered. Then II Nugent wins the demo-

paign commences and the state can well

IDAHO AND ,rs pusL,c ossr.

Lewiston Tribune: In spite of its
youth, small population and scanty de-

not excelled anywhere and serve to
eliminate the use of fuel except for
heating purposes. Its orchards and vine
yards serve a model for the most
ambitious growers. In individual
achievement. and in the materials to
work with, the state is willing to stand
comparison with the best of them.
The industrious searchers after facts,
however. have at last come along
through the national census bureau with
comparison that puts Idaho In the
discredited class, far below the general
average of all the states. and that is

The figures printed In the Tribune

the state, while able to hold their own
individually with the best of them are
lacking or negligent in capacity for po-
litical business. The rate at which the
state is being plunged into debt would
seem to mean that. but what makes II
worse Is that the state has nothing
to show for It, has as little as the least

matter of the gorgeous capitol edifice
