OFFICIALS THAT COULDN'T BE
BOUGHT

One crook in a photograph gallery
doesn't make 1t rogue's gallery any
moro than one swallow makes a
sumner. There undoubtedly have
been ample grounds for the SUPPOSE
ton that bootleggers have creased
many q way. but not all. Consider
ing the temptations to which 1t is
reasonable to suppose the enforce
ment officials are subjected fairness
especially demands recognition OF
honesty, even though that is assumed
to be a requisite Of the job.
A rather conspicuous instance Of
this was brought out in a Brooklyn
court this week. Three men were
found guilty Of having tried to bride
enforcement officials, the evidence
showing they had paid over to the
oficials the sum Of $10.000-and the
roll was shown in court-for the pro-
posed release Of fifty barrels Of rum
from q warehouse.
Anyhow the bootleggers were en-
deavoring to get the consumers real
liquor. And while they deserve all
they get-including loss OF the roll
those who manufacture the concoc-
lions Of death and sell it deserve
netting more drastic and the pub
lie should insist that they get it.

SUGAR AND THE TARIFF

Those same advocates of free trade
who have been telling the farmers
that tariff will not affect the price
OF their wheat because that is fixed
in the London market are now howl
ing about the tariff on sugar, the
price for which is fixed in the mar
kets of the world.
Referring to this the Washington
Post comments as follows:
when the emergency tariff in
creased the duty on sugar by 60 cents
per hundred pounds the entire Cuban
crop was under control of n Finance
Committee authorized by the Cuban
government, but in spite of this con-
troll the duty-paid price in New York
remained constant while the cost and
freight price. duty unpaid, dropped
by the full amount of the increase
This was not only admitted by the
Cubans but was made the subject OF
bitter complaint at the subsequent
hearings on the permanent tariff bill
In the same way the additional 16
cents levied by the Fordney bill was
discounted in a decreased price tC
the Cubans as soon as the report OF
tiiC NouACl SlNC tiS
increase a practical certainty. which
was about a week in advance Of the
actual signing Of the bill.
1.-THE Cubans are. in fact, occupying
an inconsistent position when they
complain to Congress that the in
creased tariff is running their business
and at the same time telling the gen.
cral public that the tariff is added to
the price and that the American con
sumner pays it. Both statements car
not be true at the same time. nor will
economic laws work differently at diff
fcrent times.
There is. however. an opportunity
for interests, If they be powerful
enough. to get control-and hold it
to manipulate the price. But right
here the home production, increased
under the encouragement of the tar
if, becomes factor with which the
spectators have to reckon and which
makes their undertaking all the more
difficult. This would seem to explain
why those VIII are suspected Of being
implicated in price control are among
those who do not want the home pro-
ducers protected

LINE OF DISTINCTION

The U. S. Supreme court denies the
State the right to put cloak Of pub
lie interest on private business" in a
case against the Kansas Industrial
court. In this instance the Industrial
court ordered an increase in the
wages Of packing company and the
following is from the opinion rendered
by Chief Justice Taft.
1T has never been supposed, since
the adoption of the Constitution, that
the business of the butcher or the
baker. the tailor, the wood chopper,
the mining operator or the miner, was
clothed with a public interest, that
the price of his product or his wares
could be fixed by state regulation. 1t
is true that in the days of the early
common law an omnipotent Parlia-
ment did regulate prices and wages
as it chose, and occasionally Colon
ial legislature sought to exercise the
same power, but since the adoption of
our Constitution one does not devote
ones property or business to the pub
lie use or clothe it with public in
terest merely because one makes
commodities for and sells to the pub
lie in the common callings Of which
those above mentioned are instances"
1T is very difficult under the cases
to lay down a working rule by which
readily to determine when business
has become clothed with a public in
terest'. All business is subject to
some kind Of public regulation, but
when the public becomes so peculiar
~ dependent upon a particular busi-
ness that one engaging therein sub
jocfS him Golf fn a rllh
lie regulation is only to be determined
by the process of exclusion and in
c!usion and gradual establishment of
n line of distinction. We are relieved
from considering and deciding def
nitely whether the preparation Of food
should be put in the third class OF
quasi public businesses, noted above,
because even so the valid regulation
to which it might be subjected as
| such could not include what this act
attempts.
To say that a business is clothed
with a public interest is not to de-
| termine what regulations may be per-
MISSILE in view of the private rights
of the owner. The extent to which an
! inn or a cab system may he regulated
may differ widely from that allowable
as to railroad or other common car
rier.
ut is not matter Of legislative
discretion solely 1t depends on the
nature of the business. on the feat
ure which touches the public. and on
the abuses reasonably to he feared.
| To say that business is clothed
with public interest is not to i'm
port that the public may take over its
entire management and run it at the
! expense of the owner.
| The need Of maintaining line OF
distinction if this method of court in
reference is not to be run into the
| ground, Is evident and the decision
of the court will help to do this.

Such associations OF those who

evitably bear good fruit. This we
know from acquaintance with. them,

ways. Ono somehow expects from
those who have been trained to shoot

FOR ''mushy pacifsm," nor for malice
against the foe they overcame. The
soldier who has fought for his cause,
whether or not that may have been
successful, is least likely of all to
q tarbor ill-will against those that

loyalty served this country in time

few could be found with views OF
their fellow men so narrow as to in
vite prejudice and bigotry to lay
hold on their minds, few who are not
mindful OF the need of discipline, OF
the requirement of law and order
few with sympathy for the Stacker
or admiration for those who attain
distinction by words rather than by
deeds.
And all this makes for the 1eaven
