A CHANCE Ni:EiKI
There are few leopla who will disagree with
dent lloosovelt 'a arraignment of the federal court In hi
Special message to congress yesterday. The cause of the
president's vehenjnt aieNa'e was as Is welt known the
beef trust decision of Judk' Humphrey who lield that a
member of a corporation by test ifying before a cuogrr-
alonal committee or before an aent of the department
Of commerce and iator rendered himself Immune from
proHecutioo for any violation of t tie law lie might have
Committed. This Is lb 'Immunity Utt." that lias been
so caricatured In the past fe week.
As the president says It result of t' decision has
been "a miscarriage of Justice." Congress when It
pused the law clearly meant to matt It no such farce as
Judg Humphrey has turned it into. Hut the Intent of
the law counts for little. The big things nowadays
are the technicalities. W hat matter if insistence upon
them does turn the law Into a farce until today there Is
lesM rciect for the courts titan ever before In Mstry
Preserve the form even If therebv the life is lost:
There mist tie a thorough revision of our judicial sis-
turn sown. Things cannot always continue as they are.
Tlie people are supreme and they wilt net forever have
their will thwarted by technicalities. The courts mist
be brought doner to the people. Judges aiiould 1st elect-
l and for short terms arid not at pointed for life. w.
lug their office to the people they will not. te so con-
temptuous of the pc-oplea will.
uia: a ::r.Mirr.
1". titotully the St. Louis lUpubHe sais. commenting
on the failure of congress to remove the restrictions from
lands in the Indian Territory:
"No wonder Vitiita people prefer defeat of the bill to
Its pvnage without the original provision permitting the
Indians to sell their allotted lands other than home-
steads. In the shape In which it goes to the president
the bill sets bacK the wheels of progress In the Cherokee
nat Ion ami other part of the territory for years l-and
shark may now hare a picnic getting the Indians to
sign away their birthright by one form of agreement or
another for a trifle looking to future legislation to con-
firm the transactions. And the farmers who at iast
plow those lands will pay big profits to th speculator."
And concluding Its strong editorial on this subject
the llepublic says:
"The dead hand of congress revalue bl'ght upon
these lands. The Indians have reason to fr that the
blight will not be lifted until by ho-'us -poem of one sort
or another they have ln fooled out of the-r rights In
them. In the meantime the whites of toe termor) si.f'
fr more than th Indians be the jwrver mistrust ion
of c-...rt n."
THE llOOSKVELT liU!tUM ANI THE SKXATK
'resident Iijv!t continue to Cfc-ht for the Square
Deal with undiminished teal and determination. 'Die
;tponnta of Special Privilege In the Seuat continu to
fight for time. That Is th situation In Washington.
Ttie gaioe Is one of the most masterly lutereitlng and
Important the country has ever wlti.es.se I. There i
nothing spectacular about It It Is played according to
the conservative- but resourceful rules and license of
diplomatic strategy.
It the rut law had been enacted at the lat aeaaiou
fcl Congress as It should have been and as the President
probably hoped it would m no doubt Mr. IkKeveit
would have been to U front with some ottier reform
measure of similar Importance. Hut only one gieat bill
can bojjiut through at the same time. And tliat Is a
hard task when organised capital la against it aa in the
ca.se of the rate bill. Hut the president ha stuck to his
gun. He laa dim his utmost sometimes resorting to
unconventional methods to secure the enactment of tb
rate law. And aa for "secutlv Interference" took for
a oiument at the other side of th e. Congress baa
held up th Philippine bill the Santo Imlngt treaty
the pure food bill the Panama business and otlter things
dear to thejPresident's heart with th deliberate pur-
pose of clubbing th Clilef Kexeeutlv Into Hi abandon
ment of or a weak compromise of Um rat bill.
The president has revealed his larger program wily
incidentally. He las never gone Into th tariff since be
Ucame president and Ills believed that l.e la only biding
his time to recommend rev Lsion. He has several times
touched ott overcapitalifatlmi arid he reiterated Ids
views on that subject a few da) ago. Then without
warning and merely as a matter of "personal convie
tlon" h brought up th progrewlv inheritance tai
which in its broad sense doubt lesa mrans a comprelien-
slv inctjm Us" and declared his belief that the time
w-juld com when the unwholesome concentration of
wealth would have to be restricted in some degree.
Ttiere I th best of reason for believ tig that the pri-
mary object of the aerat in consuming an alisurd length
of tlm" over the raNjbr.l is to forestall th president in
other directions. Hut all the presi lei.t needs to make
Ids pollciea win is tin.. Time makes him sir-x.er
The rate law that will be enacted at this seshi.iu will be
lietter for the people than any tawtlat culd lave Ueti
mad Usl session.
And if there is any one tiling that would le calculat-
eJ to force the president to accept a ttiSrd term It would
be the convict ion of the people that the champion f the
aare In-al l as been unduly retarded by the senate
that he woui 1 tiee-l more tin to complat hi admira-
ble program. Kansas City Mar.

A MAN WHO ACTS.
Governor Folk was not In th least troubled by the
failur of the en! Ion of th southwestern Ci-mmer-cial
dubs to endorse his ritloti I su;pres'tig the
lynchers at Springfield. He has Just made a personal visit
to that city and ha given orders that every effort must
be male to punish those who were guilty of participa-
tion I'l the savage work of the mob. Ilu b.i antiouticed
that the militia will be kept In the c t until a'.l danger
of further outbreak Is past.
