important Legislature. The primaries

In the next legislature we want
more men who pay to ride on trains
and fewer who ride on free tickets
or come on "employes passes" we
want more men who pay insurance
premiums and fewer who sell insu-

no private or personal interest to sub
serve and fewer men who have q de-
sire to serve special interests.

"A MONUMENT OF CRIME" !"

The income of John d. Rockefeller
for the current year is forty million
dollars, of which twenty million dol
lars comes from his stock in the
Standard Oil Company. This is more
than three times the income of the
the entire fortune of England's rich
est nobleman, the Duke of West
Minister. A man gifted with figures
says it represents the combined av-
erage wealth of 10000 Americans and
the average annual accumulation of
100000.
How did Rockefeller get SO much
money? In a recent speech in Con-
gress Bourke Cochran declared
"Rockefeller's fortune is a monu-
ment of crime and the declaration
was loudly applauded. 1t was in a
speech in which he had discussed
how the mammoth fortunes had been
built up. nearly all of them, as a re-
suit of the violation of law and he
said:
"Vast fortunes which have been ac-
cumulated in violation of law, stand
as monuments, not of efficiency, but
of ingenuity in swindling and crimi-
nality. Some of the largest fortunes
in their accumulation have violated
the fundamental moralities upon
which the safety of our Constitution
depends. You gentlemen on the
other side have often spoken of d
i; or
throughout the country, to distrust
the judicial department. This is de-
plorable, but is the fault wholly with
the populace? Sir, is the judicial de-
partment wholly free from reproach ?
Why is it that the judicial establish
ment has undoubtedly become an OBJ
ject of suspicion and distrust; not
will say, Mr.. Chairman, to all the peo-
pie, but to a very important element
in our community? Why, because
while it has been singularly effective

lance in preventing fraud by capital
lists that it has shown in restraining
the breach of the peace by strikers

CAUTIONARY SIGNALS.

In his weekly letter Henry Clews,
who says he is an optimist, declares
that sit is quite time that cautionary
signals were again in evidence" He
thinks that conditions exist in other
places that might duplicate the Chic
ago bank difficulties, when serious
trouble was only prevented by heroic
action" for he fears the suspended
Chicago institutions are mot the only
ones which have been lending more
freely to the large capitalists who
dominate them than ordinary business
prudence would permit" Another
source of doubt, according to MIR.
Clews is ''the extremely high prices
to which many securities are being
pushed" and "by means of adroit ma
nipulation' the public has paid too
much for some securities which rich
holders have been unloading The
fact that many stocks are ruling at
prices too high, that money is COM
manding eXorbitant rates, and tha-
Russian troubles may bring disaster
advocating contraction and caution.
Over against these dangers are unpar-
alleled business activity of the past
year, the prosperity Of farmers "still
the backbone of the country" and
the steady employment of labor at
good wages. The country depends,
now as ever, upon the men who toll
to prevent the natural ruin that would
come from the speculative world
EVERY big concern that is ruined
is ruined from the inside" is nearly
always true. and it is equally true that
nearly all failures can be traced to
speculation or promoting on the part
of inside officials. The Chicago bank
scandals and the exposure of the in
surance graft and highway robbery
was all carried on by trusted officials
who did not heed the scriptural inhi-
bition about making haste to be rich,
or the palmer commandment, thou
shall not steal.''

IN DARKEST NEW YORK.

Reviewing the book of Norah Davis,
in these columns) the New York
Evening Post reaches the conclusion
that from all accounts the lot of a
strenuous Northerner in a Southern
town is often a most unhappy one"
The writer dropped the paper to
visit a friend in Raleigh and, as he
was going on the car he passed in
an elegant carriage, a handsome cou-
pie, both no longer yong upon whose
head the snow of winters has fallen,
riding in the pleasant sunshine. They
were everywhere greeted with warmth
and heartiness by the people they
passed, and if the writer of the Even
ing Post had happened in Raleigh and
noted the esteem in which this cou-
pie were held, he would doubtless
have thought that both of them were
natives of Raleigh and kin to half
the population. AS a matter of fact
they were born in New England, came
South many years ago and found that
it received them with hospitality and
courtesy, and they know no other
home. What is true of them is equal
ly true of thousands of Northernborn
people who are living in every other
town and city in the South. 1t speaks
volumes for them and for the South
ern people.
What are we going to do with these
men living in Darkest New York who,
having eyes to see, see not?

A SENSIBLE JUDGE.

For nearly thirty years Judge Muir
ray F. Tuley, who died on Christmas
day, was one of the old-fashioned sort
of men who had a habit of speaking g
his mind freely as he administered JUS
tice. He has been reversed in fewer
decisions than any judge in Cook
county, III. He was old-fashioned in
demanding every right that belonged
to the judiciary, and he was equally
opposed to any usurpation of power by
the bench. In an address at the Iri-
quois Club not many years ago he
asked; Have not the United States
Judges from the very beginning been
what Jefferson declared them to be
tSappers and miners, undermining the
Constitution of the United States %
OF government by injunction he said:
I'VE will reap the whirlwind some
day from the seeds being soWn. We
judges are getting to be the whole
thing in government. We are APP
preaching a condition that will be
without precedent in the history of
the world. in which the governing
power will be exercised by the judges,
with the executives and legislators as
mere figureheads in carrying on the
government. 1t is time to call halt"
In the ordinary cases coming before
him he had way of saying original
and sensible things that did good as
he handed down his decisions. When
he appointed a receiver for the Dowie
Lace Company, he said:
THE history of all business enter
prices which commingle business and
religion shows that they have ulti-
mately resulted in disaster. Zion has
only three 2sSetS-the credulity of hu-
man nature. which seems to be mex
haustible; the cupidity of avarice of
investors, and the blind confidence liz
John Alexander Dowie by the members
of his church"
He had o!d-fashioned notions too,
about a man being the head of the
house and having authority to compel
his wife to obey him. To a henpecked
husband, who, alleging extreme ana
repeated cruelty, sued for a divorce,
Judge Tuley said:
Men coming here pleading for re-
lief from cruel wives are surely retro
grading in manliness. Il is the duty
of the husband TO make the wife obey
He should eXeciSe Il corrective stern
ness when necessary and show that he
is master of the house"
These statements illustrate the old
fashioned faith and virtues of the
iurist who was so, popular and so es-
teemed that he was generally elected
without opposition. 1t is refreshing to
find SO honest. frank and sensible a
judge-and one. too, who was hostile
to julicial "sappers and miners" as
well as other evils.
