The proper disposition of the T,acu
waiina river within the city limits 1r to
straighten and widen Its channel nnd
then bridge over the top, thereby saving
valuable space. Xo doubt this would
cost u good deal of money, but It would
be worth a good deal.
Fight It Out.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT that
President Itooseveltwlll press
the nomination of Captain
Crozler to the chieftaincy of
the ordnance bureau to a tlnlsli In the
senate, requiring the members of that
august body who are averse to this ap
pointment because it was not made ac
cording to seniority, to put themselves
on reeord is credible and satisfactory.
In view of the utter absence of other
reasons for the adverse repoit of the
military affairs committee on Captain
Crozier's nomination, the conclusion is
forced that It represents mainly a fit of
old fogylsm such as Is trying to defeat
the wide-reaching plans of army reor
ganization devised and urged by Secre
tary Root.
It was, of cour.li, not to be expected
that a project so eoinrJVehensive and
revolutionary as the modernizing of the
army In accordance with the lessons ot
the Spanish-American war could be
sarrled through without opposition. En
trenched abuses are always the hardest
to remove. Especially is it true that
the old senatois are hard to wean from
traditions hallowed by years of observ
ance and fortified in long acquaintance
with staff ofllcials grown ossified in
routine. Nevertheless the battle is one
which has to be fought to a conclusion,
and wo can think of no president better
qualified to fight it than the former
colonel of the Hough Hitlers, who can
testify from personal knowledge to the
inadequacy of the present staff system.
To win requires simply a big supply
of moral courage and perseverance, and
the present administration has plenty
of both. The country wants a lighting
arm of the highest possible efllciency,
so organized that never again will there
come into view such a paralysis of ex
panding poweis as characterized the
first sixty days of the war with Spain.
The fact that we won that war covers
a multitude of shortcomings; but it is
not statesmanship to depend for mili
tary efllciency wholly upon the possl-
uuuy mat your opponents may bo
weaker than yourself. The commonest
gratitude to those who offer to lay down
their lives if need be in the defense of
'their country calls for the most efficient
ot possible organizations of the armies
in which they enlist. Let tho Issue be
pressed. It is bound to win.
President lloosevelt has offered to
Colonel Watlerson tin appointment as
a member of the board of visitors to
tho West Tolnt military academy. Thus

the freedom of the people.

Of Fnr-Renclilng Importance.
N" THE current number of the
North American Review Robert
li. Cutting presents nn extremely
lucid explanation ot the ease ot
the government against the Northern
Secui Itles company and of the legal
points and consequences Involved. Ho
makes it dear that no more important
litigation hns arisen In recent yeais
than this attempt to ascertain If tinder
the Sherman anti-trust law mergings of
competitive Interests through the form
ation of securities companies to act as
holdeis of the affected secui Itles are
permissible,
In the case now awaiting decision it
will be necessary to note that two rail
roads, parallel and competitive, one a
citizen ot Minnesota, whose laws for
bid the merging Of competitive roll
loads, combined by the novel process
of handing over a majority of their
lespective securities In exchange for
the securities of a new corporation In
cotporatwl In New Jeisey. The identity
of the two roads Is nominally unchang
ed; but actually they are as much
made one as if one had bought the
other. Now the Sherman act declares
Illegal and provides for the quashing
ot "every contract, combination In the
form of trust or otherwise, or con
spiracy, in lestraint of trade or com
merce among the several states," and
It further says that "every person (In
cluding coiporatlons) who shall mon
opolize, or attempt to monopolize, or
combine or consplie with any other
person or persons to monopolize, any
part of the trade or commerce among
the several states' is guilty ot a misde
meanor, for which suitable punishment
is provided.
On behalf of tho Northern Securites
company it is contended that no mon
opolization of commerce further than
already exists Is Intended, but on tho
contrary, by reason of the greater
stability ot management ailsing from
the pooling of the securities better re
sults will accrue to shippers and pub
lic tluough the introduction of wise
economics, the uniform development of
properties and the avoidance of dupli
cations. That those who argue In this
vein are sincere need not be doubted.
A management dominated by J. Pler
pont Morgan would be likely to be far
sighted enough to study the public's
Interest as well as its own. But that
is not the point In question. The point
to be determined first Is whether such
mergings are lawful, ir It be found
that they aie not, it will be In order to
offer arguments for the modification of
the Sherman law so as to permit thein
under we.ll-deflned lestiictlons preserv
ative of the public interest. We do not
doubt that Intelligent public opinion
would re.-pond to convincing appeal
along this line.
In the meantime, the question is the
elementary one of whether there shall
be one law for rich and poor alike.
On this basis there can be no just
criticism of the government for insti
tuting this test case.

Some Interesting
Facts flboiif Mexico
F
One novel featuie of the pionosed
new Virginia constitution as drafted Is
the creation of a cot porn tlon commis
sion of three members, with power to
grant chattels under general laws to bo
enacted by the legislature, to exert a
general supervision over public corpor
ations, including railroads, and to regu
late railroad rates The right ot the
creator of corporations to exert a more
effective supervision over tho creation,
in tho public Interest, Is one which wilt
soon be asserted in every state.
It Is estimated that the new scheme
of government devised by Virginia's
constitutional convention will, as com
pared with the old, Involve a saving of
more than half u million dollars a year,
while adding a quarter of a million
dollars to the available levenues. A
constitutional convention that would
work like that in Pennsylvania would
be appreciated.

for the lawyer or business man there Is the course In ECONOMICS
AND SOCIAL SCIENCE; there Is work In the field and training
In the shop for the CIVIL OR MECHANICAL ENGINEER, while
the laboratories open the doors to ELECTRICAL AND CHEMI
