The frequent recurrence of the Taft-Roosevelt quarrel story suggests that one of these days the work of the Ananias Club will be exempli fied on a large class of candidates.' The death of Congressman De Ar mond removes a watch dog of the treasury- This is an unpopular task among Congressmen, as It puts them rn a position where they can't clam or for their own districts. Twenty-six Americans prisoners in Nicaragua. If they wanted to get into politics, why not come up this way, where the political trade is the esisentlal principle of advance ment, rather than the rifle? The poor underpaid judges of New York want $4,000 addition to their $17,500 salary. We have always sympathized with the submerged tenth, so we extend a word of cheer to these plucky strugglers against fate. Congressman De Armond's death was caused by a hot brick In his bed, which was placed In an air dome for the fresh air. There Is such a thing as killing yourself in the srrenuosity of the chase for health. When you consider that It wan al most impossible to get one of the 38.000 tickets issued for the Yale Harvard foot ball game, one under stands why old fashioned scholarship hfs become a secondary issue at the colleges. Black Handers are believed to have damaged twenty-five buildings at Danville, 111. ICs time for your Uncle Samuel to go way down into the bottom of his jeans and hire the best detectives in the business ou these jobs. The pathes of the Cherry mine disaster Is that as soon as labore-s become skilled workmen they quit the dangerous trade of mining, and leave the work largely to ignorant laborer? wh?se carelessness causes many 'isisters. We have a won lerful country, oonsi 'ered from any standpoint. The other ''ay the weather ranged from an eight foot drift at Fargo to very ptsasant outdoor weather in the South. How can the weather man miss calculate with such a variety of weather? Put Them Bebind the Bars. The decision of the federal court looking to the dissolution of the Standard Oil Company is regarded; as a great victory for the govern \ ment, but it is yet too soon to de-! termine how groat or small the vie-: tory really Is. Of course, there is an appeal to a higher court and It is a, peculiar fact that on these trust eae-' es the decision of one court 13 very likely io be reversed by the court to; ! which the appeal is taken. But even ! if the decision of Justices Sanboru, Vandeveter, Hook and Adams is sustained the btandard Oil Company will probably find some way of con tinuing business at the old stand and very much on the old lines. To bo sure if even a moral vic tory only is won, that will be some thing, as it will show that the trusts are not altogether beyond the power of the courts and, besides, it will be an encouragement to furthei ani more drastic action. But trust mag nates, found guilty of law-breaking, are not at all sensitive to moral defeats. On such matters they seem to be impervious to any sense of shame or honor. They go right on with the same determination to vio late law in their own interests. Mor al guilt fastens no stigma upon them; they are not ostracised from society, and those of them who are church members continue in "go^d and regular standing." Something more than moral vic tories for the government and people is needed. One ssntence involving tLe grated door, stone cell, prison garb and prison fare would be far more effective in making guilty cor poration officials see the errors of their way than any number of moral triumphs for the government. This is the romedy suggested by Mr. Bry an, and no one doubts its efficacy, but the Republicans do not intend to let the trusts magnates be hurt. When they are fined they tax thn amount out of the people, but if they were sent to prison they could not makt the people serve their sen tence. That is why the criminal clause of the Sherman anti-trust law is not invoked to break up the trusts. - What Ls the Remedy? Thousands of lives are snuffed out every year by criminal neglect or carelessness. It Is safe to say that almost every accident of magnitude involving the loss of hundreds of lives is due to those causes. Some times the fault lies with owners or builders, sometimes with employers of labor, sometimes with a careless workman. The tragedy of the ex cursion boat, Goneral Slocum, off New York, that of the Iriquois theatre in Chicago, and the very re cent catastrophe in the Illinois coal mine are cases in point. Such neg ligence is due to various causes. In some cases it is due to the lack ol proper safeguards be truis? men in their lust for, wealth will not stand the cost. In oth^* rtused it is due to callous disrega:! for the sanc tity of life. In the Cherry mine dis aster it was probdb'/ owing to that disregard for rules which familiarity with danger often breeds. Bu* who ever the cause Lno outcome is wide spread sorrow and misery, and the destruction of lives which no amount of remorse can restore. What is needed is a sure remedy for these ?wful tragedles that shock the world from time to time. There must be some way to safe-guard the mines and protect human life. Coal mines are veritable death traps, but such should not be the case. The Law in Their Way. The New York World calls atten tion forcefully to the absurdity of the statement of the Standard Oil officials that the Sherman law should be repealed because it is a restilc ?tion of business and any and all business concerns are in danger of being pinched, by it. Did anybody ever hear of the law being applied except as Intended by the Congress that passed it, "combinations against the interest of trade." It has never been sought to apply it except against notoriously injurious combinations. The World pertinently remarks that If the concerns of Wall street would only try to confine their operations to legitimate spheres they would not find so many pricks in legislation. The faot that no /'nones't concern objects to the Sherman law proves that the World Is right. The Flor ence Times quotes President Taft as saying that the great work of tue next congress is going to be the reg ulation of the corporations. May be so. but we pred'et that a Republican congress will never do anything to curb the trusts. They may pretend to, but it will amount to nothing. The Republicans would like to find some excuse to repeal the Sherman law, which is in the way of toe trusts. Ckmgress. In another week Congress will be on our hands. Business men fre quently say that things would go along hotter if Congress woulJ only adjourn for about five years, anJ let things take their natural course. This, however, Is merely a pleasan try, as every Intelligent American realizes that discussion may be dis turbing, but It is only through the debates and strife of Congress that, all Interests can get their hearing, ani a solution arrived at that will be In any way fair. In spite of all '?? the turmoil of recent years' over! railroad and trust questions, these matters are far from settled. Rail road rate legislation has improved matters somewhat, but reports of peristence in rebating are disquiet Ing. It ls apparent that the Inter state Commerce Commission his fir more work to ever-is,' its great authority than a single b'arl can attend to. There are new courts to bs createi to mete out just'ee be-! tween the carriers and shippers.! 6teps to be taken to prevent stock I watering, and a general overhauling of the anti-trust law nee I'd.
