WHICH SHALL RULE /?
James R. Garfield Puts Corporation Prob
lem in a Nutshell to Hard
ware Men

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IL
Commissioner of Corporations James r.
Garfield, in an address at the banquet of
the Hardware associations here last
night discussed the questions of graft i'll
the government and the commercial and
industrial evils.
Good Greater Than Evil.
You have heard that graft in the
government is rampant, he said. This
must not be taken lightly. 1t is true
that there are things in the federal gov
eminent that are wrong, but when you
compare them with things that are good
you will find them Incompatible. Things
are wrong in private business affairs as
we'll as in the public affairs. We should
not attempt to apply q remedy before we
know what the disease is. The inquiry
conducted by this bureau into the work
ings of the corporations means that the
federal government is the sovereign of
all the people, and has a right to protect
one man against the alliance of others
Must Strike at the Root
The speaker declared that the prob
lens now are as mighty and important
as ever our fOrefathers had to contend
with. On every hand we are confronted
with commercial and industrial evils.
ITO attempt to remedy them is useless,
he said. AT present it is impossible to
effect any permanent cure; only penalties
can be imposed where wrongs are discov-
cred.
The Question in a Nutshell.
eff you, my friends, are to have the
advantages of corporate formation, you
must submit your affairs to the sovereign
of creation. The government must be
vested with the power, to deal with cor
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce, such as it has regarding the ma
tional banks, to keep itself informed as
to what they aIe doing, how they are do
ing it and what are their intentions. The
question is whether the corpora tons
shall rule the people or be ruled by the
sovereign by which they are created"

PRIEST IS STABBED
IN HIS CHURCH
Vestments Save His Life from Attack of
Intoxicated Man During
Festival.

LATROBE, Pa, Nov. 13.-While en-
gagged in the celebration of st. Rose
Catholic church at Bradville yesterday,
Father Shea, the aged pastor, was at
tackled by John Ravonski and stabbed
in the chest Ravonski, who was in an
intoxicated condition, was swearing and
disputing with managers of the congre-
cation, when he was approached by
Janitor Sabola, who tried to eject him.
Father Shea came down from the altar
to demonstrate with him, when he sud
denly drew a knife and stabbed him.
The heavy vestments, which caused the
blade to glance aside, doubtless saved
his life

INFORMANT IS HAZED.
Kenyon Student Who Told of Persons
Death Assaulted and
Robbed

GAMBLER, O., Nov 13.-Assaulted
by hazers, said to be members of the
Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, bound,
gagged and left unconscious in his room,
James g. McCarvey, a student of Ken
yon college, was the victim, presumably
Of the men charged by Coroner Scar
borough with responsibility for the death
of Stuart Pierson.
More Promised Next Time.
On his breast was pinned the follow
ing note: This will do for this time,
but if we come again it will be worse. !"
He has been suspected of giving the
coroner information which led to the YER
dict that young Pierson was tied to the
railroad track, and which probably will
result in the Indictment for manslaugh-
ter of frat members.
Robbed of Valua bles.
A dollar and a half had been taken
from the boys clothes, and a gold
signet ring, valued at So, had been
jerked from his finger. The fact that no
money was taken from his pockets, dis
poses of the theory of burglary.
The student body and faculty are
much aroused over the affair, and are
aiding the officers in the inquiry.
Grand Jury Convenes.
LHe grand jury COnVeneS at Mount
Vernon today and the case may be taken
up Immediately. 1t is probable that the
body will be ordered exhumed and re-
examined, as the only real proof of the
alleged binding or tying that it has been
thus far possible to obtain was the marks
on the wrists and ankles of the dead boy.
Frat Members Avow Ignorance.
The fraternity side of the case will be
the assertion that all the members of
the society were at their lodge a mile
away from the college buildings when
the death of Pierson occurred. They
will swear that he, as did the five other
candidates, went alone to the various
points at which they had been ordered
to await the coming of the committee
which was to escort them back to the
lodge.
The candidates were told where they
were to go by means of letters sent
them that day. Members of the com
mittee will testify that they did not see
young Pierson that night until they
found his dead body at the bridge.

Law Will be Enforced.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: Please
allow me space in your columns to say
that for the safeguarding of our citizens
during the Christmas holidays, the firing
of cannon crackers and pistols in town
will be strictly forbidden. There is now
a State law prohibiting the sale of the
former, and dealers in fireworks will
please take notice. The habit of fighting
'duels" with roman candles and dis
charging rockets along the ground will
be forbidden, and several policemen in
citizens clothes without badges will be
added to the force to look after violators.
This is done simply to protect valuable
lives, and prevent accidents, which al
most invariably happen at this time, and
from one of the above causes, and not in
a spirit of keeping any one from enjoy
ing themselves to the fullest.
The laws and ordinances governing
the above will be rigidly enforced, and
not suspended, as heretofore.
Respectfully,
G.. MoYE DICKINSON,
Mayor.
