REFUSES TO ENJOIN.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 3.-The in

preme council of the Royal Arcanum
from putting into effect the rates
adopted at the Atlantic City meeting
and later ratified at Putin Bay, o.,
was denied by Federal Judge Clark
yesterday and the bill of the COM
plainants dismissed. The court held
that it was not clear under the law of
Massachusetts, in which state the or
der was Incorporated, that this plan Of
assessment and the effect on members
impairs the obligation of the cor tract,
and until it did SO appear, the court
should not interfere.
Boston, Nov 3.-AttQrney General
Parker, of Massachusetts, has been
asked to petition the supreme court
for an injunction restraining the su-
preme council of the Royal Arcanum
from enforcing the assessment rates
adopted at the convention at Atlantic

ALL RIGHT IN PHILIPPINES.
The Very Opposite of What the can
ti-Imperialists" Say
Is True.

On the eve of his departure for the
Philippines recently, Gen. Leonard
wood said:
The Philippines are now under the
best government they were ever under,
and | cannot see what grievances the
Filipinos have. There is now no trou-
BILE on the islands"
How often, says the Washington
Star, the simple fact here stated is
overlooked or perverted by the anti
imperialists in the discussion of this
question: One might easily suppose
from their misgivings that the United
States had brutally "butted in" at Ma
Mia, overturned government of
progress altogether acceptable to the
people, set them back in all their as
pirations, and inaugurated mercenary
scheme for the exploitation of the ar
chipelago. Their favorite representa-
ton of the case is the buying of peo-
pie at 50 much a head, and bringing
them to consent and obedience at the
point of the bayonet.
The very opposite of that is true
We found the Filipinos under the har-
row. They had never known what
good government was. TyranniZed
over in the Spanish fashion, they were
unsettled and unhappy, given to vio-
lent outbreaks against authority, and
dangerous alike to themselves and TO
their masters. They hailed us as de-
liverers and it was with the greatest
difficulty that we restrained them from
their purpose to massacre those who
remained of their late oppressors.
Did we bocme oppressors ourselves?
Was the change one only of hard mas
ters? How can anybody familiar with
the facts say that? We resisted with
force, as a matter of necessity, Agui-
naldos treachery, but since the putting
down of the revolt led by him we have
addressed ourselves steadily and sue
cessfully to the betterment of the con-
ditions of the people. The Filipinos,
for the first time in the history Of the
islands, are participating in the con-
duct of their own affairs, and looking
forward with confidence to a larger
share in government at an early day.
A popular assembly is only two years
off, and education is the watchword
everywhere.
Gen. Wood states the case conserva-
lively. Not only are "the Filipinos un-
der the best government they were
ever under" but in its accomplish
ments and purposes it is the best gov
ernment ever vouchsafed to people
incapable of governing themselves. We
have proceeded on lines so advanced
and beneficent that we have been crit
icised as benevolent dreamers and doc
trinaires by powers that have preceded
us in the government Of oriental peo-
pies.

PACKERS PLEA
is A SURPRISE
EEEF BARONS ASTONISH Gov
ERNMENT'S LAW OFFICERS
BY A NEW PLEA IN BAR.
AN AGREEMENT WITH GARFIELD
Counsel for the Packers Claims that
Commissioner Garfield Promised
Them Immunity from Prose-
cution if They Aided His
investigation.

Chicago. Nov. 3.--Immunity from
prosecution under the pending indiCt-
ment returned by a federal grand jury
several months ago, is claimed by j.
Ogden Armour and the other packer
defendants in which they are charged
with being promoters of the sO-called
Beef Trust" in an additional plea in
bar filed Thursday afternoon by At
torney John S. Miller, for the packers.
The new plea, which came as a sur
prise to the government, sets up as
facts that when Commissioner Gar
field, of the department of commerce
and labor, investigated the beef pack
ing business he promised the packers
that in whatever testimony they gave
without being under oath, or what
ever documentary evidence they vol
unfairly produced, the defendants
should have the same rights and i'm
munities as if they had testified under
oath and compulsion.
Under this new plea Attorney Mil
Ter hopes to establish the fact that
here was an agreement between the
packers and the government that they
should testify and produce evidence
without being subpenaed, or the oath
oeng administered, but that as far as
immunity was concerned, it should be
considered as if they had been sub
penaed and taken the oath.
The allegation of an agreement be
ween Commissioner Garfield and the
packers was a surprise to District At
lOrney Morrison and Assistant At
orney General Pagin; and it was said
asst night that Commissioner Garfield
had been asked concerning exactly
what occurred during the investiga-
lion into the beef business.

SCHEME OF DEMOCRATS.
Bryan to Resume Control and Array
the Poor Against the
Rich.

In his speech at Akron a few days
ago Secretary Taft indicated the ma
tional IS we'll as the state importance
OF the pending campaign in Ohio. He
pointed out that the defeat of Gov.
Herricll would be heralded as the dawn
of new democracy, significant of
what was to happen in the next con
gressional and presidential elections.
The truth is" said he, "it is per-
fectly apparent that Mr.. Bryan is grad
ually resuming control over the demo-
cratic party and proposes TO assume
the aggressive in controversy in
which he hopes to array the poor
against the rich, to shake the present
system of private property and free
dom of contract, to cripple the federal
Courts that are now such bulWark in
the defense of the constitutional rights
Of individuals; to substitute for our
present system of railways privately
| owned and maintained, government
| railways. and in every way to introduce
a system of paternalism which in the
end would certainly paralyze the indus
trial and social progress of this cOun-
/ try. This movement in favor of gov
/ ernment ownership of public utilities
to include the commercial railroads, is
not a mere chimera. 1t finds its be-
| ginning in the proposition for munich
pal ownership of street railways by
| Mayor Dunno, of Chicago, by Mayor
| Mcclellan, of New York, and even still
more in the attitude of Mr. Hearst in
running against Mr.. Mcclellan.
| Secretary Taft said that Tom l..
Johnson, of Cleveland, known as an
advocate of the single tax system and
of government ownership of public
utilities, was an earnest supporter of
the democratic ticket in Ohio, and in
his belief, the triumph of that ticket
would bring Organism and Johnson
ism to the front as the issues upon
which we are TO fight the next presi-
Dental campaign
1t is the purpose and always has
been the purpose of President Roose-
welt, in the policies which he has rec
commended for adoption by congress, to
meet these dangerous attacks upon our
present economic, social and political
conditions by remedying the actual
evils which every one must recognize
and thus entrenching ourselves against
the assaults of socialism, the suppress
sion Of individualism and the instiga-
ton of class hatred based on alleged
injustice and abuses that do not exist.
lie has, therefore, been most active in
the promotion of prosecutions under
the antitrust law and in securing Of
legislation to aid in it's enforcement.
He believes, as every one must who
knows anything about the subject, that
perhaps the most serious abuse of the
last two decades has been the unjust
discrimination in railway rates as be-
tween individual shippers and as be-
tween different localities, and. indeed
e in some instances by rates in excess of
that which would be reasonable for
the service itself"

WHY the HnSte2

At time when this country is en-
toying the greatest measure of pros
perity the world has ever known; with
a home market that is worth more
than the combined international com
merce of all nations, including our
own; when agricultural and manufac-
turing industries are expanding and
the volume of our foreign trade is in
creasins year by year, it is natural
That other manufacturing nations
should seek 10 enter our market Ger
many has made a bluff at shutting ont
our foodstuffs, but our best customer,
England, has made no threats; Russia
has tried the game and failed: Franc
is not making any attempt to force a
reciprocity treaty, although one nego-
tlated with her was defeated in the
Eenate two years ago. Why, then
should we haste to surrender TO Ger
many alone when as has been shown,
there is little danger from that source ,

SHOULD BECOME INFORMED
Revisionists Show Their Need of En-
ightenment on Tariff
Facts

The demand for free raw materials is
an old one. 1t was the democratic. cry
during their campaign preceding the
enactment of the Wilson bill and theiI
theory was Incorporated in that bill
so far as they dared to go with it, But
the decentralization of the home market,
which resulted from too low tariff rates
on manufactured articles so reduced
the demand upon manufacturers for
flashed goods, says the Springfield
Union, that they had little occasion to
use free raw materials. Under the Will
son law free raw materials averaged but
2G per cent. of the total imports, while
under the Dingley law they average 3l.S
per cent. 1t must always be borne in
mind that what is free raw material for
the manufacturer is the finished product
of the producer, and the producer de-
mands the same degree of protection
that is accorded the manufacturer. The
manufacturer of wOolens would like free
wool but how about the American
farmer who grows the wool? The re-
visionists in the republican party want
to make sure that in the pursuit of their
ideas they do not find themselves in the
democratic camp. They would do we'll
to turn occasionally to the pages of tar
iff history and note the results of the
Wilson bill

MITCHELL MUST co.
Methodist Bishops Render Verdict
Against a Teacher of Theology
Trial for Heresy May Follow.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-The board of
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church will inform the trustees of the
Boston university school of theology
On next Monday that the plea OF the
trustees for the retention of Prof
HtnCkley G. Mitchell in the chair of
Old Testament criticism in that school
cannot be granted.
This decision on the part of the
bishops was taken at Washington last
week, where they heard intercession
for Prof. Mitchell by President Hunt
iIgtOn, Dean Warren and DR.. Phillips,
secretary Of the board of trustees of
the Boston school. The vote of the
bishops was unanimous against the
continuance of Prof. Mitchell in his
chair The bishops had previously
decided that Prof. Mitchell could not
hold his chair.
Evidence Of four students and Prof
Mitchells book, "The World Before
Abraham" formed the basis of his
condemnation. The case was reopen
ed, with the result that he is again
condemned, and there is no other ap-
peal.
1t is stated on the best authority
that a heresy trial in Prof. Mitchell S
cOnference-that of northern New
York-may result now, and it is fur
ther said that the logical sequence of
the ousting of the Boston higher critic
is that Prof. Terry, of Northwestern
university, at Evanston, H.. who has
written a book on THE Shortcomings
of Jesus is likely to hear from the
hoard cf hi.bDuc
