The Two Parties and Economy.

Gov. Miller'S first message to the
New York legislature is in the key of
economy. He wants taxes reduced,
state government abolished.
Both parties indorse his sentiments
and pledge him support. The leaders
Of his own party in the legislature ap.
crztic leader in the Senate and the
democratic leader in the assembly
unite In this statement: "Gov. Mlller's
proposals. for economy will have the

party in the legislature. His first
message is commendable."
This spirit Is spreading. There has

A Helping Hand to Cuba.

President Wilson's assignment of
Gen. Crowder to Cuba as an adviser
on behalf Of our government to the

troubles will be the first intimation
for many persons in this country that
conditions in the island republic are
such as to threaten paternal inter-
vention on the part of the United
states. Any sort of interference with
the internal affairs of Cuba is to be
deprecated even though by the terms
under which Cuba was turned over to
its own people the government of the
United States reserved the right and
independence Of the republic and to
maintain the stability Of it's political
and economic administration. Once
since the independence Of Cuba that
Intervention was necessary. In the

Trusts or Boycotts?

AS reaction from the decision of
the Supreme Court last Monday to the
effect that under the antitrust stat
engaging in secondary boycotts, a
movement has been started for the
repeal of those laws. Heretofore Or
gained labor has regarded the anti
trust enactments prohibiting certain
trade restraints on the part of CAPT.
tai as good and wholesome for the
economic health of the country. Now
that the highest court has held that
they apply to all. without discrimina-
ton, they are anathema.
This is not an unfamiliar spectacle.
1t makes all the difference in the
world whose OK is gored. There is no
law that pleases everybody. In the
case of the Sherman and Clayton acts,
the latter of which supposedly pre-
vented the former specifically from
checking the boycott enterprise Of the
labor unions, the trusts themselves,
Or the business elements making
trusts possible, have been always
stoutly hostile. But they have yielded,
with rather bad grace, and with much
appealing to the courts and endeavor
to delay and thwart the operation of
the law, and though by subterfuge
and device they have in some cases
managed to evade the strict provi-
sions against price-fixing. product
controlling combinations, they have
generally accepted the decree. AS
long as the statutes were held to be
imperative against the labor comb.
nations they were rated as good laws.
Now that by decision Of the court
they are ruled to be operative to pro-
hibit all forms Of trade restraint,
whether by capital or by labor, they
are declared to be bad laws. and the
demand is voiced for their repeal.
Can law be framed which will
satisfy the needs of the public in re-
spect to the regulation of the trusts
and at the same time permit groups
Of people to combine and seek the de-
struction Of business? Is there any
essential difference between the or.
ganization of trust that drives small
producers and dealers out Of the trade
field and the organization Of a labor
boycott that aims at the closing Of
markets to an employer? The Su-
preme Court has said that there is no
difference, under the statutes az writ.
ten.
If organized labor believes that it
should have the right to boycott it
must consent to the repeal of the pro-
hibition against trust trade combina-
tions. But will the people generally
consent? The third party" to the
trade relationship. the consumer, may
demand hearing, and though unor.
gained he may have to be needed, be-
cause he is the overwhelming majority
in this. as in any other country.

the whole world gets wise to it.
no matter how clever the cheats
may be in trying to cover up

goes on to make q remark that
will strike home to every pitch
er and every catcher when he
says: 81 do not think a pitcher
can throw even one game with
out falling under the suspicion
Of his catcher. If a catcher is
honest he will know in an In
ming or two whether the pitcher
is trying to win or not. Be-
sides that, the catcher will, or
should, see every play made on
the field and If he il any kind
of a catcher he can tell mighty
quick if a player is trying to
make a play or not"
