'.//.'. HILL'S msVQIUAGEUEST.
What Mr James J. Hill i"'!" 5 about the
plans of his <;r»-at Northern Railroad
for next year is ■ better indication of
what to «cpo<"t generally than his pes
simistic utterances oo business pros
pects. Last year .the road ordered
245.000 tons of rails. Next year it will
t ,,>,hl only 76,000 tone. Las* year iT rv
quired 11.000 ■*» frcicht cars. Next
y«ir it will nwd ..lily 3.000. Twenty
!«>ndine-< will In* ordered this coming
I year, whereas 300 were -...ticht in the
j one iusT i-losinir. No extensions art' be
in- constructed. Now. these figures *>
nor indicate that next year is goinc '"
be a dreadfully bad year, with every
thing '-.it ■ standstill." They do not
even mean. if. a? M- Hill say*, the
situation of the «ireat Northern is .-liar
acterisTic. that next year will be worse
; i ia;i tiie one now apprcichlng its end.
! rerhaps they signify that those who or
dered fnr 1910 ratter overshot the mart
i PerhsfK they were overopliuiisti<\ and
progress bas n«>r l»?en so rapid i" the
year pa-t as rhej expected; The result
[would Ik* that, baring provided liberally
i for I;,- they would have to provide less
largely for H>ll. Something lite that
| we su<pe--t. is fairly near the truth. And
if there was too much opuirr^ni a year,,
:t^o. Mr. Hill's words go to the other I
', extreme to-day. •
Business after .-. panic is very likely ;
; to "<> through an experience of this sort.
mm there is profound dejection, then
comes a feverish sort of recovery, •*■
companied by pyrotechnics on the
stock enhances, and every one per; (
suades hims.-!f that, after all. the last
was not a real panic, but hardly more
than a flurry, from which ■■■■""■ v will ;
1* phenomenally rapid. Then come dis- :
api^iiitnaeut and disillusionment, but all ;
The time the mending process - «■ on. j
After every panic there has come a rim- ;
when, tiavinc proceeded rapidly for ; , j
v.hiie."busines< itesan to more forward i
nuber more slowly. That if about what j
Mr. Hill's facts and figures seem to in- ;
dicate.
Moreover, if there is some easing up
next year in ihe face of the country's.
large crops and generally sound condi
tions, it may i.c awompanied by an im
provement in respect t<> fbe cost of com
modities. Including: !*«* >rf uo^ s^ ul
use. And if the cost of living should
decline ,md the ..... • ■■. credit should
1h? relieved by smaller demands of capi
tal for extensions and additions to ex
isting ...... real prosperity of ihe
country might be greater next year than
it has l«*-u this year, in spite of Mr.
Hill's despondent words.
\tHE YfiGVE MIXED /A" EXGL.WP.
The ._--••■ at tie dissolution of
Parliament was happier in reporting
upon foreign than upon domestic rela
tions. Us longest paragraph teals with
the North Atlantic fisheries arbitration,
land fittingly expresses much jrratitiea
'non ..... settlement of the «-en
tury boas dispute. It is cited as special
| cause for gratification that tbe award
.• il;(C l»een received by both sides in a
j "spirit which must tend to increase
j "sood will." That is true, and the cause
'for justification Is therefore as (.i.era
tivein Aaierica a<^ in <lrrat r.ritain. But
the fact of ihat settlement on those
j terms will ottlmnt*. r»y eoutrast, LLe re
ijrret at the necessity '•! reporting in the
same speech a failure to effen-t a settle
j ment in the chief domestic and consti
1... controversy which vexes the
' kingdom.
Down to the very moment of the an
nbuncement of dissolution there was an
'earnest and persistent hope That a com
* promise Pome sort would be effected.
1 nor merely for the avoidance of another
! general election within a year of the last
' Irnt still more for The settlement of the
preal issue by cr.lm reason rather than
through The appeals to passion which
] are too commonly made at -he hustings.
JThat hope is now dismissed, and the
i United Kingdom will immediately be
! plunjred int<> the hurly-burly of a general
election nivf»lving several of the gravest
I issues which have Ixm»u presented •.. the
people in a hundred years.
The simple question <>f the veto power
of The House of Lords would be *uffi
<-ient to mark thi< election a« epochal.
j Hut That te nor all. The question of
peorjanization of the House of Lords
is dire«-tlv involved, and so i« that of the
| virtual withdrawal <<f Ireland from the
United Kingdom. There are also others
of no little Importance. Tor. of course.
I ir is understood thai if tbe Ixrds are
j.reveuted from longer exerrisinc: Their
old iepislative power, the various radi
cal measures .-Irakis! which they alone
have heen mi effective barrier will
promptly be thken tip again and passed.
I'nder such circumstances Tiie United
Kingdom may well wish that domestic
!>e^oriati:«r.> between the parries and the
bouses had been as successful as that
l.oTweeii the two nations at The Hague.
EXTERMINATE THE HATS.
TSie appearance <jf the bubonic plague

{a considerable frijrht. Happily the onii

THE GAR TRUST SUIT.
It had been expected that the povem
ment would wait until its cases asrainst
the Standard <Mi Company and the
American Tobacco Company had been
decided by the United States Supreme
Court before proceeding against any
other big industrial combination. But
the delay of a year in these cases, due to
vacancies in the court, lias probably in
duced the government to becrin The pres
ent suit against the so-called Sugar
Trust so as to have it under way when
the other suits are decided. Obviously,
the prosecution of this suit will depend
very much upon the court's stand in the
others.
Those suits, it is hoped, will clear up
the law* application to big industrial
combinations. An early decision iv a
previous prosecution of the Supar Trust
under the Sherman law led to the belief
that such combinations could* not be
brought under thar statute, but later de
cisions of the court in other casee have
encouraged. Attorneys <Jentral to make
the attempt ajrain. in the belief that the
povernment failed in the Kuiqrht ease
not because it could nor show that such
combinations were in restraint of inter
state trade, bin because in that partic
ular case it did not show the combina
tion in question to be in such restraint.
The decision in the Knicrht <-ase has been
the reliance of those who have cast tbe
big industrial combinations into their
present form, and it is the chief reliance
of the defence in the Tobacco and Stand
ard Oil cases. When the court speak? in
those two castes ....... the application
of the law to industrial combinations
will l»e clear. But arts so frequently
disappoint expectations and divide im
portant —on minor issues that the
administration may have put its best
foot forward ii! having another big suit
ready M * as to carry it np to the
•iTiurt of last resort with tiie least loss
of time in order that the law may be
made clear.
rwr, - IBOfi FEDERATION TRAQE-
The sequel to a tragedy of lawless vio
lence in the recent French strikes i* a
tragedy of ordered law end Justice. The
former was resrarde<i by the General
Confederation of Labor and The Social
ists as one of 'lie negligible trifles of the
day's work, while the latter convulses
them with frauti ■ rage and elicits de
nunciation a*; the crime of the ace. Both
are doubtless to be regretted. But while
the former must be regarded as one of
the most ominous and detestable of in
famies, the latter is. to be regretted
chiefly for The necessity of it. as an act
o; Indisputable justice.
These were the circumstances: In the
late strike of coal heavers one man 7>er
sisted in continuing to work, in defiance
<»f th*> order of the tabor union. There
upon the union voted, with only a single
dissenting voice, that hi should be "got
rid of." ■•Itemoved," tJuiteau called it.
""Murdered" is the plaiu .speech of it.
And the man was promptly thereafter
set upon and brutally beaten 10 death by
members of that union. Th.it was the
first gedy. Sow, nfter condemning
t > lons terms of penal servitude lie men
who actually did Tin- killing, the court
sentence* to death the member and sec
retary of the union who introduced the
motion ordering ■ ■■■ murder. That is
the -•■'•■-■•■ or the promise of It.
It is dreadful for courts to be "com
pelled to sentence guilty men to the gal
lows, but it is immeasurably worse for
self-eonsiitnted bodies to sentence to as
sassinjiri;>n blameless men who have in
curred their displeasure. Doubtless the
labor union ordered the murder of that
independent workman In the expectation
of thus deterring others from following
his example and of terrorizing aH
work ngn*en into obedience to the
union's mandates.; Well, the court sen
tences the chief author of that murder
to death, partly to discourage others
from following his abominable example
s t nd to remind all men of the necessity
of olKKiience to the law of the land.
We are told that the action of the
mart is ''enthusiastically approved by
the country at ■■-•■'■ We should think
that ii woold be. For irresponsible «nd
self -constituted "syndicates'" to be free
to plot and to commit assassinations nt
will would be a reversion to utter sav
agery. Prance is certain^ not prepared
for that. And if. ns frantic Socialists
are proclaiming, the execution of this
sentence means ruin to the General Con
federation of Labor, then so much the
worse for that organization. France ran
have no place for an organization which
la dependent upon immunity for wanton
murder.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
WANTS FACTS OF KOTOKU TRIAL.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Since the publication of our circular
regarding Dr. Denjiro Kotoku and his com
rades we have received promises of aid
fiom numerous organizations and promi
nent individuals. In response to our ap
peal hundreds of letters and telegrams of
protest have hern sent to the Ambassador
of Japan at Washington.
Some correspondents ha • requested us to
supply the 'lac- concerning the condem
nation Of Kotoku ani his comrades, but
the government of .Japan lias absolutely
suppressed all information in regard to
the trial of Kotoku el al., and the Japanese
press has been forbidden to publish any
report on the proceedings. It is because
of this very situation that our appeal on be
half of Kotoku has been made; that is, to
force the government of Japan to repro
duce the proofs upon which Kotoku and .us
comrades have been condemned for "plot
ting against the imperial family."
Thai the conditions in Japan are as
stated is admitted by Fotosada Zumoto,
chief of the Oriental Information Agency,
No. S5 Nassau street, and even by the Con
sul General of Japan (No. 8) Wall street).
The consul general, as veil as Mr. Zumoto
also said that the death penalty against
Kotoku and his comrades had been recom
mended by tli© special trial court, but had
not yet been approved by tiie highest
tribunal at Tokio. It is therefore more
urgent ui»n all lovers of justice to make
their protest fell before it is too late.
Denjiro kotoku has devoted his abilities
and energies to the spreading of libertarian
Ideas In Japan. Becoming familiar with
socialist and anarchist thought, he found
ed a monthly review "Tatsu ■*' ("Iron
and Fire"). This paper, popularizing the
ideas of communist anarchism, was sup
pressed '■•■ " •■ authorities, and other maga
zines published by Kotoku suffered the
same fate. He was forced to go into e::ile
to San Francisco. When he later returned
to his . native land tiie persecution con
tinued, culminating in the arrest, secret
trial and death sentence of himself, his
friend, lime. Kano, a brilliant translator
and writer, and all his known comrades.
