took him with the guard. He was taken

Lawton in the Civil war.


Hon. Isaac jenkins, of Richmond,
sponsor, in an interview with the In
dianapolis Journal, said. after express
ing deep regret at his friends untimely
death in the Philippines:
Il first knew Harry Lawton as a
schoclboy at Fort Wayne bright, in
telligent, manly boy, one of the first to
respond to his countrys call when re-
belliOn threatened it's destruction, and
when he was scarcely eighteen years
of age. One morning in April, 1861,
received telegram from Governor
Morton asking me to enlist company
at Fort Wayne in response to Presi-
dent Lincoln's first call for volunteers.
A public meeting was called for that
evening and was largely attended.
When it's purpose was made known and
a call for volunteers announced, the
first to arise in response was Harry w.
Lawton. At IL o'clock that night l
telegraphed the Governor that three
full companies were organized and sub
ject to his orders. Governor Morton
responded the next morning that he
could receive but one and ordered me
to send forward the first that had Of
fered. This of course contained young
Lawton. This company, commanded
diately for Indianapolis, where it was
mustered into service as Company e,
in the Ninth Regiment, Indiana Volun-
teerS, under command of Colonel Mil
roy. The service was for three months,
through which LaWtOn served with
great credit as sergeant. After the ex-
piration of his term Of service in the
Ninth Regiment, he returned home and
assisted in recruiting a company for the
Thirtieth Indiana Volunteers, and was
made first lieutenant of Company A Of
that regiment, mustered in for three
years, Sept, "a, 1861, under command
of Col. S. S. Bass, of Fort Wayne. In
May, 1862, he was promoted to the
captaincy of his company. At the end
of the three years term for which the
regiment had been mustered in, all but
the veterans and new recruits returned
home and those remaining were con-
solidated into a residuary battalion of
seven companies. This battalion was
placed under command of Henry W.
Lawton as lieutenant colonel, and in
time he became colonel, and when the
war closed it was serving in Texas as
a part of General Sheridan's army Of
occupation. When Colonel Lawton re-
tired from service in that war he ex-
pressed a wish to continue in military
life and solicited the assistance Of his
Fort Wayne friends to secure posi-
ton in the regular army. At his re-
quest I wrote an urgent letter to Gov
ernor Morton referring to Lawton's
brilliant war record Morton respond
ed promptly that he would see to 1t
that a commission should be obtained
at once, and Lawton was made, at
Morton's request, second lieutenant in
the regular service"

The Folly of 1t.

The laboring man has more work to
do to-day than he has had for years; he
is getting higher wages for doing it
than he has received for long time.
Now he is talking about voting to tear

children, all of us have been taught to

Roosevelt on Trusts.

There is a good deal Of good sense in
what Governor Roosevelt said in his
message to the New York Legislature
Regarding trusts. When trust be-
comes monopoly and seeks to destroy
competition and enhance prices, the
State has an immediate right to inter-
fere. Publicity as to the stock and &C.
counts of corporations is the thing most
necessary, since, without the facts
upon which to base actions, laws are
useless. What Governor Roosevelt
says upon this phase Of the problem is
entitled to more attention than are
many long speeches:
"We should know authoritatively
whether stock represents actual value
Of plants, or whether it represents
brands or good will; or, if not, what it
does represent, if anything. 1t is desir
able to know how much was actually
and to whom, and, if possible, for what
reason. This would enable us to see
Just what the public has right to ex-
pect in the way of service and taxa
ton
The watering of stock has but one
object and that is to be made valua-
BILE by dividends. If dividends are paid
upon stock which costs nothing, it is
because the products Of such a cor
poration are sold for a higher price
than they should be. When it is
known, if dividends are paid upon
much stock, these corporations have

AN 1QELANDRts oR1T1o1sns.

is A .couplecofweeks ago we wrote a
criticism.on Mr.. Bryan as an orator.
Some one, in the Pink Paper, signing
himself as 'Icelander" criticises our criti-
cism in some high sounding language
and by the aid of copious extracts from
a chronological firm proves Mr.. Bryan to
be an orator. We will just say to our
Icelandic critic, that was just what we ad-
mitted and what we were talking about;
and while we don't take much stock in
phrenology, it don't need that to know
that Bryan is an orator. Our point was
that Mr.. Bryan is an orator-and nothing
more. We never heard him speak, but
thousands have, whose united judgment
is that he is splendid orator. We have
read his speeches, they are open to
everybody to read, and we have right
to Judge Of his real ability from the print
ed word, SO has everybody else.
Our Icelandic friend seems to assume
our Judgment is warped by republican
bias; perhaps that is rule that works
both ways, and from his writing we
should judge that he has democratic
leanings. 81.

knows that congress has no power to
extirpate trusts operating under the laws
of the different states.
The democratic party has been twice
in power, from 1885 to 1889 and from
1893 to 1897. They did nothing to check
trusts.
In 1888 with full democratic power in
each branch, 16 bills were introduced
against trusts; all were smothered in
committee.
In the same congress democratic
committee worked six months on trusts,
and reported that trusts were evils, that
they were increasing so rapidly they
could not list them, that the committee
could not agree on legislation and recon-
mended that the matter be left to the
next congress-already elected and re.
publican.
The republicans introduced bill in
the last congress to amend the constitu-
ton of the U. S. so that it would be in
the power of congress to legislate in the
matter OF trusts.
This amendment would have had to
been submitted to each of the several
states before it could be part of the
constitution.
All democrats voted against it, and
Mr.. Bryan says, because it took the
power from the states to legislate against
trusts" Whereas, the constitution says
that states shall not have power to legis.
late contrary to the U. S. constitution
Hence such amendment would not pre-.
vent state legislation.
Mr.. Bryan himself recommended such
an amendment in St. Louis.

We will try and give a few Of the
points" on trusts, but necessarily in
very abbreviated terms, with the hope
that it may interest the readers of this
paper in reading the whole speech.
SOME TRUST POINTS.
A trust and a corporation are not
equivalent terms, though Mr.. Bryan
erroniously or purposely uses them that
way. ;
A trust is an agreement between any
number Of corporations, firms or individ-
uals, by which the business is put in the
hands of a committee for the purpose OF
controlling the business of all.
Such combination is illegal under the
common law" and such agreements
could not be enforced between the par
ties in any court.
The Standard Oil Co. was at first such
combination of about forty corpora
tons and firms. Because the trust thus
formed was illegal, the trust resolved it.
self into vast corporation" which is
legal.
So, technically speaking, there are but
few If any large trusts" in this country
though there are many large corporations
which are to a greater or less extent
monopolies.
To condemn all corporations is absurd.
A very large proportion of the greater
enterprises of business are carried on by
incorporated capital. ''lhere are thous-
ands of corporations that are absolutely
essential and indispensable to the prose.
cution of the business of this great re.
public" Corporate capital cannot
exist without intelligent labor, and labor
cannot exist without it has capital invest
ed for its employment"
The sugar trust is the greatest trust ir
the U. S. The Standard Oil Co. onl,
means 80 cents per capita; the sugar trus
is s2.98 per capita.
The Wilson-Gorman tariff bill passed
by democratic congress of which Mr.
Bryan was one of the committee Of way:
and means, made tariff on raw sugar A
per cent and on refined sugar 44per cent
The sugar trust buys raw sugar and re
fines it. That law gave the sugar trus
10 per cent benefit.
The Dingley tariff law enacted by {
republican congress made the tariff or
refined sugar nearly Z per cent less thar
on raw sugar, giving thetrust that much
disadvantage.
Mr.. Bryan says he is in favor of an,
law to extirpate trusts. Every lawyer

BRYAN CALLED DOWN.

Acting Secretary Meiklejohn of the
war department has sent the following
letter to w. j. Bryan, who speaks at
Peoria, ILL.,, to-day:
Washington, D. c., Oct. 6, 19OO.-
Dear Sir: In the press reports yesterday
of your address at Upton, Ind, in which,
you referred to the overthrow of human
slavery in the United States resulting
| from the successes of the armies of the
Union, you are a'so reported as saying
in that connections:
eve fought then for the adoption OF
constitutional amendment that provid.
ed that no man could own slave, and
yet before the Philippine war is ended
we have the Sulu treaty, which recog.
nizes slavery
Permit me to invite your attention to
the following extract from the letter o
the secretary of war to Maj. Gen. E. S
Otis, commander of the United States
Forces in the Philippines, under date o.
October ~, 1899:
THE president instructs me to advise
you that the agreement Signed Aug. 10
1899. between Brig. Gen. John c. Bates,
representing the United States of the one
fpart, the sultan of Jolo, the Dato Rajah
Muda, the Dato Attik. the Datto Calb
and the Datto Joakanain of the othel
part, is confirmed and approved, subjec,
to the action of congress provided for in
that clause of the treaty ofpeace between
the United States and Spain which pro.
vides ..the civil rights and the political
status of the native inhabitants of the
territory hereby ceded to the United
States, shall be determined by congress, -
and with the understanding, which should
be distinctly communicated to the sultan
of Jolo. that this agreement is not to be
deemed In any way to authorize or give
the consent of the United States'to the
existing existence of slavery in the .Sulu
archipelago, thing which is made i'm.
possible by the thirteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States.'
ut is probably unnecessary to call
your attention to the fact that in the alb.
sence Of the approval of the president i,
