Roosevelt In the Supremacy Of the
Law

This is an era Of great combina-
tions both of labor and of capital. In
many ways these combinations have
worked for good, but they must
work under the law, and the laws
concerning them must be just and
wise or they Will inevitably do evil:
and this applies as much to the
richest corporation as to the most
powerful LABOR union.
Our laws must be wise, sane,
healthy, conceived In the spirit of
those who scorn the mere agitator,
the mere inciter Of class or section
al hatred, who wish justice for all
men; who recognize the need OF aG-
he ring so far as possible to the old
A merican doctrine Of giving the
widest possible scope for the free
exercise OF individual initiative, and
vet who recognize also that alter
combinations have reached q certain
stage il is indispensable to the gen
eral welfare that the nation should
exercise over them, cautiously and
with self restraint, but firmly the
power of supervision and regulation.
charleston, S. G. April 8, 1929
The man who bv the use of his
capital develops great mine; the
man who by the use of his capital
builds great railroad; the man who
by the use of his capital, either in
dividually or joined with others like
him, does any great legitimate bust
ness enterprise, cOnferS a benefit,
not harm upon the community.

REQUIRED himself to obey the law
The law is no respector OF persons.
The law is to be administered
neither for the rich man as such nor

or poor, if he is an honest and law

against a., y man rich or poor who
violates it. without regard to whic h
end of the social scale he may stand
without regard to whether his
offense takes the form of greed and
cunning or the form of physical
violence. Inc either case, if he
violates the law, the law is to be
invoked against him. and II so in

of damage from J. N. Kinney owner
of the west half of the northwest
quarter of said section seven. The
road is not therefore a legally laid
out highway. The said Kinney now
threatens to close the road, which
he has a right to do I would advise

him something for a release of dam

said highway.

The labor unions of Chicago are about

The labor unions of Chicago are about
to put in operation plan for furnishing
work and homes for their unemployed,
similar to that tried number of years
ago in New York by the Typographical
Union, which leased all the available
garden plots within reach and let them
out to the members of the union who
were out of work. Thirty thousand acres
of good farming land in Mississippi have
been purchased by the Chicago labor
unions. This land is to be divided into
five-acre farms, which will be sold to
union workingmen at very easy terms.
The provision will be made that if the
purchaser is dissatisfied and prefers to
return to work in the city, the purchase
money will be refunded. The garden
plot experiment proved such success in
New York that the originators of the
movement in Chicago estimate, with like
success, they will be able to find employ.
ment for every union man in the city who
is at present idle.

Watered Stock.

W. H. Oliver of New Bern, S. c., has
issued little pamphlet giving the origin
of the phrase 'watered stock:
1t was published that at one time Mr..
Daniel Drew was engaged in the cattle
business. That be would go through the
country and buy stock and drive it to
New York and sell. 1t was said that
the day before the stock was to be weigh
ed he would feed as much salt to them as
possible, and the next day before they
were weighed he give them all the water
they would drink, thereby adding to their
weight. The phrase "watered stool"
became by word among the cattle men.
Within few years past vast number
of corporations have been organized, and
a conservative banking house in New
York estimates that the unprecedented
amount of three thousand million
($3, ooo ooo, ooo) of this watered stock has
been placed on the markets in the shape
of bonds, preferred stock and common
stock. Taking the prices at which these
bonds and stocks sold for in August and
September of 1902 and at which they sold
for in August and September, 1908, the
difference as estimated is decline
of over one thousand million Isl 900,
ooo, ooo) of dollars This fearful decline
has caused many suicides, many defalca-
tons, many cases of insanity, many cases
of sorrow and sadness among a vast mum.

Best Cough Medicine For Children.

When you buy cough medicine for
small children you want one in which
youscan place implicit confidence. You
want one that not only relieves but cures.
You want one that is unquestionably
harmless. You want one that is pleasant
TO take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
meets all of these conditions. There is
nothing SO good for the coughs and colds
incident to childhood. 1t is also GER
tain preventive and cure for Group, and
there is no danger whatever from whoop-
ing cough when it is given. 1t has been
used in many epidemics of that disease
with perfect success. For sale by Eli T.

That Pension Order.

According to the Washington papers
there is real hot spell of weather at the
Pension Office, ana to get into cooler
atmosphere Mr.. Ware, the Commissioner
of Pensions, promulgated the famous
order to allow service pensions, and then
hit the trail for Savannah, Georgia. 1t
seems that some cases had been passed
upon by the board of review, and Mr..
Ware reversed the decision of that board.
Mr.. Ware was in turn over-ruled, and
boards and officials waxed hot Congress
recognized that the president took this
method while quarrel was on to make a
record as friend to the Grand Army
men.
The service pension the President or
ders given is only small one, but that is
not the issue, the Times explains. 1t is
expected that $4,000 old veterans will die
during the next year, and congressman
are limiting that his order may prevent
any further action in Congress this year,
as useless; that he will work this racket
for soldier votes, and then the Supreme
Court will set his decision aside, and the
old boys will die without the service
pension. 1t looks as though the big
trusts were pulling the strings to lead
Roosevelt through the woods. The big
coal men fixed up the Anthracite Coal
Strike Commission for him last year; the
railroad lawyers drew up the antitrust
bills he pushed in Congress last winter;
the meat men engineered the big hoodoo
in the courts against the beef combine;
the eminent counsel of the large finan-
cial concerns that fnance.the great rail-
roads" supervised the great court pro-
ceedings in the merger case, SO it will be
an excellent display of political pyrotech-
MICS, and still be benefit to the roads
in other words, their scheme to kill the
antitrust law fell down fiat, and they
spring the merger decision, to offset the
break. Now they put up this service
pension deal, as running mate to help
pull the trust ticket through. 1t is to be
hoped the old soldiers won't bite at this
game until they see what Congress and
the courts may do. The great money
combine has opposed the pensions of all
kinds, because it lets so much money get
out among the lower classes, who thus
become more independent of the money
lender and the labor exploiter, aud there
fore less obedient to wealth; but if the
machine wants to use this new pension
scheme, it will stand all right.

The arrest and fning of the captains OF
six oyster boats at Chesapeake City last
week, for having in their possession and
attempting to carry ont of the State, oys-
tiers for planting which were under the
size allowed to be taken, brings to notice
a form of robbery of the oyster beds of
the Chesapeake which has done much
toward depicting them, and which has
been going on for years, as can be testi-
fed to by people living along the canal,
who have seen countless numbers of boat
loads of these under-size oysters pass
through this waterway and out of the
State. Small wonder is it that Mary
lands once immense oyster industry has
dwindled, and that the beds, what
was at one time looked upon as an almost
inexhaustible supply of oysters-are being
rapidly depleted, as these depredations
have been carried on for years.
And yet, in the face of these known
facts, every attempt made in the legisla-
ture for the enactment of measures look
ing to the protection of the oyster beds
has met with opposition and been de-
feated by such legislators as Senator APP
plegarth and men of his ilk, who virtually
uphold the practices of these outlaws. A
case in point is the fight which was car
ried on during the Legislature just adj
journed to defeat the Haman bill, il
finally being permitted to go through the
General Assembly after it had been strip.

features, by the numerous amendments

themselves solid with certain class Of

The Maryland Legislature adjourned
Monday night for the session of 1904 by
constitutional limitation.
The session has been marked by serious
differences over party matters between the
Legislature, with its democratic majority,
and the democratic Governor, over the
carrying out of party pledges. The con.
stitutional amendment proposed by the
Legislature for the dsfranchisement Of
the negro did not receive the Executive
approval.
In the closing hours of the session the
Haman oyster bill was passed, but in a
form that is far from satisfactory to its
advocates. The waters of all the oyster
counties of the state are exempted from
the operations of the bill. and there is
nothing left for the planting scheme ex,
cept the barren bottoms and depleted
beds of the Chesapeake bay. The bill
was also amended so as to provide that
boatmen shall have the first opportunity
to obtain leases under the law, and that
they shall not be required to pay rental
for three years.
This. with the Jim Crow" law requir.
ing separate compartments for white and
colored passengers in railroad cars and
steamboats,, are the most important
measures enacted during the session.
A deficiency bill was rushed through
and signed by the Governor appropriat
ing $4,000 more for the expenses of tn,
General Assembly, which with thu
$4,000 voted at the last session for tn,
expenses of the session just closed, make
a total appropriation of $500, 900 for til,
cost of the session, and precious littl'
there is to show for all this expenditur,
of the peoples good money.

The United Supreme Court has handed
down a decision against the anthracite
coal companies, holding that they must
produce contracts and other documents
at the request of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
This is the case instituted before the
commission by William R. Hearst, of
New York, who alleged discrimination
by the railroad companies which reached
the anthracite coal mines in Pennsyl-
vania. During the hearing some of the
witnesses refused to produce certain con-
tracts bearing upon the business of the
railroad companies and the coal mines,
which action was upheld by the Circuit
Court of New York. The United States
Supreme Court holds that the contracts
should have been supplied. Simulta-
neously with the decision of the Coal
Trust it handed down decision in favor
of the city of Chicago against the Peoples
Gas Company. The decision sustained
an ordinance passed by the city which
compelled the gas concern to reduce
the price to rs cents thousand feet.
In effect these decisions are declara-
ton that trust must show its books
whenever demand is made for it to do
so, and establishes the precedent that a
city can fix any price it likes for trusts
products.
The Court also upheld the Maryland
Election law requiring voters moving
into this State to sign a declaration of
their intention to become citizens as a
prerequisite to the exercise of the cleo
tive franchise.
