Wisely Amended. f-rylli: BILL of Sonutor Hour S nt'ovlrllnir that no roinblnu- 2 tlon In furtheiancu C any trade dispute "shall be deemed criminal, nor shall those en paged therein he Indictable or other wise punishable for the mime of con spiracy, If such net committed by one person would not be punishable as a crime, nor shall such agreement, com bination or contract be considered as In restraint oC trade or commerce, nor shall any restraining order or injunc tion be issued with i elation thereto," has been wisely amended by the senate judiciary committee. The amendment consists of the Insertion just before the last "nor" of these words: "Unless the purpose ur effect of such conspiracy shall bo to create intimidation by show of physical force or the court shall find that the combination has for Its pur pose the occasioning of injury to the properly or business of the complain ant or Is likely to result In such Injury, nor except such purpose be proved to the satisfaction of the court or the court find that such is likely to be the effect." This, it will be observed, leaves mat ters virtually as they are now. Injunc tion to prevent the consummation of a conspiracy for the purpose of Inflicting Injury upon an individual, firm or cor poration is a necessary arm of Justice; otherwise incalculable damage might be wi ought by hastily assembled mobs which, afterward melting away, could not be identified, indicted or punished. Injunction does not punish. It simply warns. Punishment comes when warn ing thus legally served is Ignored; and It properly Is swift and earnest punish ment, administered without reference to prevalent excitement or passion, by a judge not Influenced by fear or favor. Injunction proceeds upon the sound doctrine that it Is better to prevent outrage If possible than, after its coin mission, to hunt for the perpetrators with a view to putting them on trial before a jury possibly biased by tem porary prejudice or excitement, As we said on Monday, It takes away no pihi Icge except the privilege to do an un lawful act. That privilege no man should oossess. The Pennsylvania railroad l.tst year moved nearly a quarter or a billion tons of freight and carried more than n bundled million paswngers, a gain In both departments of neatly forly per cent, over the business of four years !v,To. It is easy to comprehend why tne Pennsylvania railroad Is favoiuble to Republican supremacy. VVntterson a Seer nnd Prophet. Ol'U fJOOD FUIEN'D, Colonel Watturson, has been viewing men and atfalrs at the nation al capital and putting the re Milts on paper, lie finds the Repub licans at sixes and sevens, and Is con vinced that If the Democrats had enough sense they would be In line position lo niaku a winning sortie. President itoosevelt he calls a "bion t ho-buster" a clean, honest man of good Impulses and the best of inten tions but Inconsldeuite, combative and aggressive; somewhat on the Urovcr Cleveland outer, minus drover's cold ness and stoical self-reliance, Colonel Wutteison leports, as do all other ob observers, that.-among'tlie grandees of Washington '-;-JI(V, the unconventional wiiyTof thCilrtflhtJitutrte .White House the inan rwITuffStteback,'' to bortow the 2'lnejip)frip.'e me irritating and iinpo4julur&ljrrc0 things so differ ently. yoif'JJnb'wY The. colouol Is lin prcswd wltlf'tfip'corridor talk in lauda tion "of Mink ITanna.

They criticize fluently but construct nothing. Sub sidy Is not an un-American arrange ment. Kvery mill or factory located In a village or city by offer of a bonus represents the subsidy Idou. It Is true that when a city becomes famous its a manufacturing center It nu longer has lo hold out such inducements to attract new Industries. Hut In the Infancy of Industrial growth the subsidy Is often esseutltil and the price asked is paid willingly because It means bread thrown on the waters, to return after many days. Our merchant murine stands In the relationship of an Infant enterprise which needs encouragement. The ship subsidy bill proposes to give this en couragement. Sonic of the details of the bill may not be just right; the whole matter Is necessarily experi mental, But unless something Is done there will be ho growth of this Indus try. The American people want It to grow, and they are willing to give It a moderate amount of substantial as sistance. One thing 1b certain about thla subsidy business, tf the merchant marine does not Increase It will not cost much; If It does, we shall he getting our money's worth. Let our Democratic friends remember that. Seventy per cent, of our Emopean trade Is with England and Germany. Thut ought to explain why it is to our Interest as well as pleasuie to "be next" to both. Government Control of Railroads. r X AN INTERVIEW in the Phila delphia Press ex-Judge Logan, general solicitor of the Pennsyl vania railroad, offers timely and very liberal comment upon the amend ments to the interstate commerce law now pending in the senate. Those amendments propose to clothe the In terstate commerce commission with power to enforce a rate when after full hearing It has been found to be fair. Now the commission has power to hear but not to enforce. The only limitation upon the power proposed to be confided to it Is that of liability to teviow by the courts. In return for this concession by the railroads, con gress is asked to allow pooling and the formation of traffic associations, both to be subject to government su pervision and control. Two other fea tures should be mentioned. One is the penalizing of the shipper as well as the railroad Violating the law; and the clothing of. the courts, upon peti tion of the Interstate commerce com mission, with power to enforce the published tariff of rates In other words, to make sure that the lutes of the railroads for transportation of freight or passengers are as flat and fair to all as are, for example, the ad vertising rates of The Tribune. Contrary to what might be expected, judging from the attitude of some rail way officials. Judge Logan, speaking for the great Pennsylvania system, heartily favors these amendments and expresses his confidence In the Integ rity of governmental agencies. "I be lieve," says he, "that not only the ship per but the carrier needs governmental help. It seems to me the time has come when the government should re assume the right of a moderate control and supervision over the carriers oc cupying the government's highways, and that this In its operation should reach forward as well as backward tho carrier to have a reasonable re turn for his Investment In the agencies of can Inge, and the shipper the as surance of a prompt service and a reasonable rate, and' the public to be protected by stability and uniformity In all charges." It Is a great deal to have such views as these expressed by the representa tive of one of tho largest of our Ameri can railway systems. It marks u long forward step In the development of a wholesome public opinion, We have had "public be damned" railroad uian ngeme,nts and rnllroad-be-damned leg islatutes and between the two the pub lic Interest has very frequently gotten lost In the shuffle. The Popullstlo Idea that ralltnudh aiv public enemies and therefore fit targets for all kinds of abuse ana attack has happily passed out of mind; but there has come In place of It the notion that use of "pull" to secure discriminating charges vio lative at once of business fairness and federal law is Justlliuble in the Indiv idual shipper, however iliegul It may bo for tho currier which succumbs to It. Kor this reason, tho placing of tho shipper on a legal par with the car rier In respect to penalties for viola tion of the interstate commerce law Is certainly an eiiultablefeature of the proposed amendments. As to the legal izing of pooling, objection to it loses point when power is given to the In terstate commerce commission and courts to enforce published rates. Will) this power exercised, pooling. and joint t radio associations become harmless so far as the publlo is concerned and re main simply conveniences In the econ omic administration of railway prop ertles. The affair at Allentown demonstrated the other day that when It comes to the matter at taking prizes the Scranton gingers can hold their own without making much fuss about It, Prince Henry believes that It will tnko several months for him to think It nil over, and pinko up for lost sleep. There Is a possibility that tho "new maple sugar" purchubeel during the nest few days will be pew. The a.pnug poet still continues bey era I laps In advance of the season in Manitoba. Thu Democratic Issues these days seem to be "will-o'-the-wisp'' affairs. NOW FOR AN AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE l'rom the Philadelphia Prm. Till!
