_ Action Against Trusts
ALL WHO ARE FAMILIAR with National affairs, especially those
who watch with interest the proceedings-of Congress, the present at, titude of the Democratic press throughout the country must seem at
least exceedingly inconsistant. They are loud, in their criticiems of President
Roosevelt’s position as regards the trusts and. are insisting that he bss don®
nothing toward their suppression..__#
:
; They forget that the Demooratic party when in power did less, The
Sherman anti-trust law was in force and effect when the Democrats controlled
“both-branches of Congress, and had a Demosratic president,-yet they offered
DO amendments and took no steps toward prosecuting violators of it. Since
-that time they have devoted their energies to abuse of the Republicans for
failing to make the law more stringent. .
The Sherman law was passed by a Republican Congress and right now
President Roosevelt is doing his utmost to shape things eo that something
may be accomplished under it, There is now pending litigation involving
points of the most vital interest in this trust issue and upon a satisfactory decision from the Supreme Court the matter will be in-a condition where some
effective work may be accomplished. Until then the Executive's hands are
tied.
The Department is concentrating its efforts to obtain a decision from the
Sapreme Ooart which will forever end the obnoxious system of rebates in
operation among the leading railroads of the United States, That is the great
desideratam at this time; with that other one, which wil] re-enforce and render more complete the first decision making it an. offense for avy shipper’
whether corporation, firm or individual, to accept a rebate from any railroad,
Once the law prohibiting rebates is declared adequate in the cases now waiting
decision, that instant scores of trusts are robbed of one-half their power.
Still another point ie involved in the Northern Pacific merger proeeedings
the validity of New Jersey corporation law is at issue, The question is whether
or not the State of New Jersey can issue a license to a corporation operating
in another State, giving it authority to violate the laws of state.
These, with the beef trust movement, are practically the sum total of the
most important actions instituted by the department of justice and aimed directly at the illegal opinions of trusts. Each case involves a vital, faf-reaching and comprehensive question. If they are decided in favor of the department as ageinet the cerporations, or Father, in favor of the people as against.
the trusts, then there is placed in the hands of Attorney General Knox @ power
that will awe the most arrogant combination of capital. In the future the
Attorney General need cate cite the decision to the Supreme Court to compel
instant obedienca under penalty.
There doubtless are other ways, not of obtaining results, but of attracting
popular approval. But President Roosevelt and Attorney General Kuox are
condueting this issue in their own way. And it isthe most effective way. It
will the quicker prodace results, final and definite. Decisions sustaining the
Department will place-a-greatpower for good—in the--handa of the President
and the attorney for the people. By this sober, careful and undemonstrative
procedure there is avoided any unsettlement of industrial éonditions or financial situations. Itisa broad, statesmanlike method of approaching a propo
sition. Moreover, it is the legal way.

The Honor of Thieves
4 UDGING FROM INOIDENTS that now and then are related by the press,
one might well think that the old saying, “There is honor among
thieves,” should be amended by the insertion of the little word “no,”
Either this is the right view to take, or we have been deluded by our ancestors,
Perhape there never was any honor among thieves. Sucha proposition, once
advanced, can be well defended by countless instances of the treachery of
partners in crime. To refate it there san be advanced only a few idealized
stories of uncommon criminals who at some time in their lives rose for a few
minutes to the standard of a gentleman.
The latest flagrant case of lack of honor among thieves is that of Tracy
and Merrill, the Oregon outlaws. These men escaped from prison together,
taking life to gain liberty. ' They were brothers-{n-law a8 well as fellow fugitives, and one would think that they would have stood shoulder to shoulder to.
the end, recklessly fighting the law that had put a price on their heads. InStead of an epic of the border, they re-enacted the old story of shameful treachery. Tracy, from bebind a tree, shot bis partner in the back, then came forth
and ina most anromantic manner settled him with‘two more bullets. Where
was the honor among thieves?
In that deed Tracy showed himself type of the thief who kills. Among
decent men honor insures safety, but among thieves it depends upon capidity
and fear. The rascal whe steals has none of the finer feelings. To save his
worthless self he will always betray. There is no houor among thieves.
