What is the true relation of President
Roosevelt to the so-caIled trusts and
combinations? We have intimated our
disbelief in the theory that he has delib-
erately used the executive authority to
bring them under his control in order TO
extort campaign money from them
through the Cortelyou terrorism. We
cannot picture to ourselves Mr.. Roosevelt
leading the trusts tanned and captive IN
his train Quite otherwise is the image
that presents itself to our vision. The
Roosevelt whom the people of this coun-
try fancied they saw opposing the greedy
trusts with the uncomfortable might of
the presidential power. graphing with
them, and threatening their overthrow as
fast as the courts would move, is a
phantom What are Mr.. Roosevelt's
achievements in graphing with the
trusts? There is single victory to his
credit-the destruction of the Northern
Securities company. BY way of clearing
up many illusions, let US briefly review
the executive procedure in this case. The
Northern Securities company had its
origin with James J. Hill, d. Willis

WILL vINDICATE MIR. ROCKWELL.

The people of North Carolina are
familiar with the gross injustice done
to Mr.. j. r. Rodwel. of Warren
county. by Judge PEBBLES. 1t will be
remembered that, when Mr.. White re-
signed a few weeks ago because Of
bad health. majority of the Demo-
Gratis in the county signed a petition
requesting judge PEBBLES to appoint
Mr.. j. r. Rodwell to the vacancy.
When first requested to appoint Mr..
Rodwell (who had supported Winston
for Judge in the contest between
PEBBLES and Winston) to the position,
Judge PEBBLES objected saying that he
understood that Rodwell was in some
way responsible for the severe criti-
cism the Warren Record made OF
Judge PEBBLES while holding court in
Wake or Robson or both. Mr.. Rod
we'll wrote Judge PEBBLES that he haQ
no connection with the paper did not
inspire the article or see it until he
read it in the paper
Later Judge PEBBLES announced that
he had decided not to am int Mr..
press stating that he could not APP
point him because Mr.. Rodwell was a
defauter when sheriff of the county
and appointed another gentleman If
the Judge had merely made the APP
pointment without rejecting upon Mr..
Rodwell he would not have done a
grievous wrong to . good man, though
IL.
tition of the majority of the Democrats
of the county. The uncalled for State
wide advertisement that Mr. Rodwen
was a defaulter deserved the severest
criticism, for in making the statement
the Judge acted upon incorrect infor-
nation, for Mr.. Rodwell has never
been a defaulter and is as honest
man as Judge PEBBLES or any other
man i'm the State. The people all over
the State felt that the Judge had acteo
in an indefensible manner. In War
rem county there was deep Indignation.
The people are going to give Mr.. Rod
well full and ample vindication by
electing him Clerk of the Court next
Tuesday, as the following in yesteI-
days Warren Record shows:
after an investigation of the mat
ter and upon advice of the Democratic
State chairman as to whether the APP
pointment for clerk of the Superior
Court holds office until the next gener-
al election or for the unexpired term.
Mr.. j. A. Dowtin, Democratic chairman
of the county, called his committee
together yesterday to consider the
matter, and it was decided to nomi-
nate a candidate for this office ana
they did the ripht and proper thing by
placing the name of Mr.. J. r. Rodwell
on the ticket. The people of Warren
county have all confidence in Mr.. Rod
we'll and we are glad they will have
an opportunity next Tuesday for ex-
pressing, to some extent, their con-
tempt for Judge r. b. PEBBLES"
