A QUESTION OF RULED, NOT OF
RULERS.
Latest of the New Jersey cities 10
adopt the commission form of mu
nicipal government is Orange, and,
as usual, the proposition to make the
change was carried by a small major
ity. Only when a great scandal or
a great disaster has come upon a
town is the abandonment of the old
system favored with an approach to
unanimity, and this is natural be
cause commission government is op
posed for that strongest if not best
of reasons, self-interest, by the old
time politicians and all whom they
control or influence.
They call it' revolutionary, as in
deed it is, so far as concerns their
familiar methods of conducting mu
nicipal affairs, and no more than oth
er “old dogs” do they like the learn
ing of new tricks. That some of
them can do it, under resented com
pulsion, has been proved in several
towns, where after a little the “old
dogs” have managed to recover their
lost places and powers, and again it
has been shown that the more things
are changed the more they remain
the same.
Still, commission government is ex
tending with considerable rapidity,
and on the whole, apparently, it is
considered an improvement. Already,
however, the "business manager,"
running a municipal corporation much
as he would any other, has been evolv
ed as a still newer and more promis
ing solution of our greatest problem.
So Orange is a bit behind the times.
Probably the form o fgovernment is
of very little consequence anywhere
in comparison with the general in
telligence and honesty of the people
governed. Kvery town is well ruled
that really wants to be. The trouble
is that many of them don’t. -Kx.
The anti trust bill introduced in the
House ol' Representatives yesterday is
a drag-net measure, covering sub
jects so diverse its interlocking direc -
torates and the procedure in injunc
lion cases. In what shape it may
emerge from committee remains to be
seen. One section of it stands in a
category by itself, and will doubtless
he the subject of much discussion,
brief as it is. This is section 6, re
lating to labor unions and agricultural |
associations—in form also to other
organizations for mutual help, it is
apparently a very innocuous provis ^
ion, being merely to the effect that
"nothing contained in the anti-trust
laws shall be construed to forbid the
existence and operation” of these or
ganizations, or to forbid or restrain
individual members of them “from
carrying out the legitimate objects
of such associations.” It is in these
last words that any mischief that
there may be in the proposal is to be
found; but it does not look as if they
could be made a cover for exemption
from the operation of the law in re
spect of acts which are obnoxious to
its general prohibit!6ns. Gompers, of
course, is greatly disappointed in not
finding such exemption in the bill;
but if lie is sincere , in the belief he
lias expressed before the Judiciary
committee, that under the law as it
stands union labor exists only by the
sufferance of the attorney general, he
ought to be overjoyed at the removal
of this fatal peril to the labor cause.
—Ex.
Secretary Bryan’s Interpretation .of
the Democratic platform will be a
relief to some Ohio candidates for
congress. Under the primary law of
that state, a candidate must declare
that he “will support and abide by the
principles enumerated by his party”
in its platform. Now, the only plat
form provided for Democratic candi
dates for the United States Senate or
House is the one adopted off-hand
at Baltimore. The law makes, no dis
tinction between a platform adopted
after consideration, and one adqpted
“Jrith a whoop.” How,, thep, wqs a.
Democrat who proposed to stqnd by
president Wilson, or who had stood
b/n'im, In the repeal of the tolls
emijSuhn clause, to make thq stater.
mjTm&iat he would support, and ab(dp.
by’^tie^prlnclple that tolls should hh
exempted? But at this point enters
Mr. Bryan, who has drafted enough
platforms to know to a feather’s val
ue what a platform is worth, and
gives assurance that according to his
old principle of paramount issue the
anti-subsidy plank takes precedence
of the coastwise-subsidy plank.—Ex.

CORDOVA, 'May f>.—Word has been
received here at the office of the
Copper River and Northwestern Rail
road that the bridge across -the Cop

go out at any time this week, as the

floes are sure to destroy the pile
bridge across the Copper at this point.
Traffic on the Chitina-Kennicott
line will be suspended for at least
three weeks until a new bridge can
be built. The company have made
every preparation to replace the
structure at the earliest possible mo
ment vafter the ice goes out and no
further danger exists.
