"' 'l'M'' Tribune-read core-
fully the speech of Attor
ney Uenernl Knox on
trusts, in Wednesday's Issue. The
strike, it i.- 1 rue, has left the most of
us little leisure for other subjects of
letleetion: but while It Is temporary
uml now apparently solved, the prob
lem illscllsxeil by Ihe chief of the lib
eral department of justice Is likely to
jeiiiala with us fur many years anil to
affect the American people al many
points of contact. What 'he said about
it is. Iherel'oie, of mole tbuu transient
Intel est.
By this lime we all know pretty well
what the evils of trusts ale. It does
not take much Intelligence to enable a
m. 111 lo see that gittaiitlf .stock-watering,
the attempt to adtl two to two so tf
lo'iiiuke live, six or ten. Is a business
wrong, the penally of which may not
full oil the promoter, but sooiiei or
later Is sure to fall heavily upon Ihe
public Then, loo. the use of couiiner-
cial power to hlt'conipi-tltnrs below Ihe
bell: the grasping of unfair, advan
tages, either by rebates in transput la -lion
iji tliioiigh Hie corrupt niaulpiil.i
tlon of legisliituies or by other unright
eous way-; In short,' the neglect ordi
nance of public Inteiest and ' public
equity all these evils. tire apparent and
do not nerd, to be argued.
The nieill'of Attorney tleiierul Knox's
speech was that he pointed out a Very
simpl- and immediately available rem
edyone I bat can be put into operation
whenever u inajoi Ity In congress so
elects, Tu stale his remedy In the
simplest possible language, without
technical ob-ciirities. It is this: t'on
giess under the constitution litis power
lo regulate commerce between or
among the stales. t'ongre.-s, lor ex
ample, now says that lottery tickets
shall not go through the malls or be
.carried by an luterslaie carrier. Why'.'
lteciiilse Ihey a re' deemed Injltrluu- lo
Ihe public interest and contrary to pub
lic polity. So wlih poisons and explo
sives. Ihe carriage of which Is either
piuhihiteil or safeguarded, t'ougress.
I fie attorney general claims, on the
same giotind can pass a law saying
that whenever a shipper shall be proved
to have'conimllteil one or more of the
evils previously id'em-d io, in. must
stop it and make amends or have the
door to liilerslale commerce closed In
his luce, in other words, congress can
say that ilu trust, cuipoivitlon, assocln
I lm. tlnu or I11dlvl1lu.il shall be permit
ted to use the in. ills or the rails to Hit
an Injury to the American people.
In ihe part of .Mr, Knox's speech
which We printed III yestel day's Issue
there is a clear statement nf what Hie
prc-fiit :uliiilusratlou has done lo en
force existing laws on Ihe subject of
trusts. "My their fruits e shsill know
them": mid Hie limits of liepubllcmi
administration, largely owing to Theo
tlol'e Itoo'evelt, are already a courage
ous enforceiiieiil of law such us has
lint beel known lie I'll If. with Hie U'olll-
Ife of addliloiiiil results when congress
shall clollle tile executive with In
creased power, The way to help on
this good work Is lo elect a licpiibllcun

show appreciation of I'leShleill I'.oose
