exercises Of the Reynoldsville High

Wednesday evening, May 0, 1903. There
were seven graduates, three young men
and four young ladies. For the first
time In the history OF our schools the
graduates appeared on the platform
wearing caps and gowns. The gowns
hid the pretty dresses the young ladies
had on. Assembly hall was we'll filled
and the marked attention given by one
and all was evidence OF general in
terest on the part OF the audience.
The essays and orations we're highly
commendable and we're presented In
pleasing manner, showing ease and grace
that could only be acquired through
skilled and able training. The gradu-
ates one and all acquitted themselves
in manner very creditable to them
selves, their instructors and the Reyn.
oldsville High School. The young
people did so remarkably well that
they we're congratulated and highly
praised by many friends after the COM
mencement exercises were over. A vocal
solo by Miss Coda Belle King, violin
solo by Prof. Will l.. Strauss and sever
al selections by the orchestra inter-
spersed the literary productions OF the
graduates. The stage was nicely deco

THE CANAL TREATY

Fresh doubt has been created regard
ing the ratification by Colombia of the
Panama canal treaty through the
opinion expressed by a member OF
the Colombian congress, recently in
this country, that ratification will
be vigorously opposed and that the
outcome is uncertain. He is re-
ported to have based his opinion
upon advices received from Colombia
and was quoted as saying that nearly
every member Of congress has been pc
titioned TO vote against ratification. Ac-
cordlng to his information the opposi-
ton appears TO grow more vigorous as
the session draws near. 1t is stated
that the objections TO the treaty are that
1t provides practically for the perma-
nent, exclusive ownership of the canal
by the United States and that Colombia
win not receive sufficient compensation
for the concessions. In short, what Co
lombia wants is a better bargain than is
afforded by the treaty.
There have been advices from that re-
public showing that a very strong feel
ing exists against ratifying the treaty,
but the representative of Colombia at
Washington has expressed the belief
that this opposition is not sufficient to
defeat the treaty. AS the congress OF
that country will soon there

expressed appreciation of what was done
by the secretary Of wal In promoting
the efficiency Of the National Guard and
closer relations between the organized
militia and the regular establishment.
1t also commended the policy of the
War department in inaugurating joint
maneuvers and camps of instruction en-
bracing mobilization of the regular

ISOLATION made some suggestions as to
additional legislation, which will be sub
mitted to congress In the form Of bills
to be framed by the executive commit
tee Of the association.

TRiUHPH.

The reelection Of Frank 4. Moores
mayor Of Omaha is not merely a per
sonal compliment, but a triumph Of the
people over the allied corporations en-
trenched behind a police commission
created by them for the avowed pur-
pose of s%ubjugating Omaha and making
its citizens su%bservient 20 corporate
rule.
The campaign waged against Frank
Z. Moores was begun during the session
of the legislature with the enactment
Of bills postponing the election, pre-
scribing test oaths ut the primaries and
curtailing the appointing power Of the
mayor. From the halls of legislation
the warfare was carried into the public
arena at the primary election, where all
the forces at the command Of the cor
porations Joined with the self-styled
anti-machine faction were massed
against Moores, while the Broatch po-
lice commission exerted its every infu-
ence to intimidate and coerce liquor
dealers and parties subject to police
surveillance. The signal overthrow of
this tremendous force at the primaries
would under ordinary circumstances
have peer followed by submission to
the decree of the convention which reg
lstered the will Of the majority of the
party, but the corporation politicians
projected a third candidate into the
field under pretext Of municipal reform
and had him nominated by the popu-
lists to give him standing upon the
official ballot.
Then came a campaign of deception
and viliflcation such as has never be-
fore been witnessed in this city or state.
All the batteries Of venom belching
forth slime and detraction were leveled
at Moores. He was painted in most
lurid colors as a monster of iniquity
and made the victim of scandalous
fakes, while fervid appeals were made
against him to influence emotional peo-
pie credulous enough TO believe the rank
fabrications. BY these disreputable
methods his opponents sought to divert
attention from Moores' creditable
record as mayor and his course in pro.
tecting the public interest against cor
porate encroachment which they found
they could not successfully assail.
In spite Of all this backire and the
well-organized opposition supplied with
unlimited financial resources, the cleo
ton Of Moores by a decisive plurality
proves that the people clearly under
stood the issue. They discarded al
prejudice and rallied to the support o.
Moores not only because he stood FOL
home rule, equal taxation and resist
ance to corporate dictation, but alst
because they had confidence in hi
ability and intention to carry out tn
platform pledges of the republican con
vention.

ANOTHER CHAPTER or POLITICAL
TREACHERY

The treacherous course pursued by
the boiling republican faction in the
city campaign merits the condemnation
Of all fair-minded republicans. The
fimsy excuse for the walk-out of the
d~ark-lantern brigade was that they
could not c~onscientiously become ghr-
ties to the nomination Of Frank E.
Moores. They took special pains, how
ever. to u publicly that they
were loyal republicans and would stand
by the other candidates on the repub-
lican city ticket. whose nominations
they conceded to be regular and whose
character and party standing were un-
challenged. The impartiality and mag.
nanimity exhibited by the convention
in the makeup of the ticket, giving the
minority full representation, was
scarcely paralleled and within itself
should have obligated the anti-machine
faction to live up to it's pledges.
But the election returns show that the
men who vainly tried to defeat Moores
knitted every candidate Of the majority
faction and voted for their democratic
opponents. Had they not been recrean'
to their professions of republlcanisn
every man on the republican tickle
would have been elected by substantial
majorities instead of giving the demo

THE "CUT RATE" DECISION.
Another EpOch-MakinE Deliverancs
by n Federa Court.

Chicago Chronicle.
Another e~poch-making decision Of the
United States courts was rendered by
Judges Grosscup and Phillips in the "cut
rate or rebate case against a number OF
railroad corporations operating in Illinois
and other states. It is as important as the
Northern Securities decision and quite as
far-reaching in its effects.
This suit was commenced over a year
ago at the instance Of the Interstate Com
merce commission The Investigations OF
that body developed the fact that the rail-
roads had been in the habit OF giving Sc
cret rebates and "cut rates. to favored
shippers in Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha
and other points. The interstate commits
sion furnished the proof and the prosecu-
ton was ordered.
A temporary restraining order was is
sued and on the trial OF the case was made
permanent. It ~enjoins the railroads from
cutting rates, giving rebates, discriminat-
ing in any way between shippers and
from any violation OF the interstate COM
merce act.
Technically the decision asserts that the
government has power to bring suits In
equity for the prevention OF discrimination
in railroad charges. Also that the Elkins
act, providing for rapid procedure in suits
under the Sherman antitrust and the in
t~erstate commerce acts, applies to suits
brought before its passage In congress.
Practically the decision affects mainly
the traflc in grain and cattle, including
packing house products. There can be no
discrimination In freight rates for these
shipments. The railroad cannot send grain
and cattle buyers to the country and give
them lower rates on the immense pur-
chases which they make with the money
furnished by the railroad or other capt.
talists.
An important part OF the decision is that
relating to individuals having small griev-
ances who cannot afford TO prosecute the
railroads on their own account. Speaking
of the continuous trespasses" Of the rail-
roads In discriminating between small and
large shippers, Judge Grosscup says:
Can the government under such a state
of facts bring a suit for relief or must the
injured individuals do it7 In the cases I'M
der consideration the alleged violation OF
rights is by common carriers, servants OF
the government, which the government may
regulate under the law. Here, too, the In
jured persons are so numerous and the in
jury to each so inhnitesimal that It is the
duty Of the government to assert such
rights for the injured parties"
This is judicial paternalism, but 1t is
necessary for the protection of the helpless
many against the all-powerful few. The
government will take care OF the small
shippers who are unable to take care OF
themselves.

MUST GO.
Else Government by the People Be-
comes a Mockery.

Portland oregonian.
TIL protest against the trust and the
merger is a protest against a new feudal-
ISM, dependence, and serfdom. Men like
Rockefeller, Carnegie, Morgan and Hill
may think, perhaps sincerely, that it would
be better for the masses of the people to
accept without question and be content
in the positions they would assign them;
but that is not the way 1t is going in the
Industrial and social world, any more than
in the political. Everybody knows that in
the nature Of things some men must be
richer than others, and that all progress
is both a result and a cause Of inequality
OF conditions. But they believe, too, that
there is positive danger and evil in enorm-
Gus combinations OF wealth and in concen-
tration Of the direction Of 1t in a few
hands; and that they who have had the
favor of the government to establish cor
porations and to build up corporate power
should not be permitted to combine the
forces thus created through corporations to
establish a universal monopoly and main
tain 1t, subjecting the Industrial operations
Of the whole people to their rule or will,
Powe like this is greater than all the
power Of absolute kings. Between mans
material condition and his living spirit
there is Intimate relation; and the power
that can control the former will ere lons
control the latter.
1t is the firm hope Of the people that the
check given to combination and merger in
the recent suits at St. Paul will prove the
first step Of a necessary and salutary re-
straint. Government by the people be.
comes a mockery and farce. II some twent.
Morgans, Hills and Carnegies, or a LEST
number, are allowed to control the meant
and operations through which and mainl!
for which government exists. In an in,
dustrial age they who control the indus
trial forces of a country are Its kings; ant
they control the life of a people who b!
combination and merger, under corporate
powers, get control of the means whereof!
they live. 1t is a subtle and insidious, ye
most effective, usurpation.
