their resources and their energies to ae-
complish their own ends without due re-
gard to the rights of individuals or of the
public. This they do naturally. Power
always carries with it an instructive
human desire to adopt the theory that
might is right. Some of our foremost men
are working on that theory.
''The cause of to-day's existing evils
is not that our theories of finance or poll
ties or corporation law are unsound.
They may be wrong, but they are not the
wrong Back of them are the evils which
have their origin within our men and our
women"
As we'said at the beginning. Thomas
w. Lawson, of Boston, has by his writ
ings and his disclosures of the plundering
schemes by which the leaders of "high
finance" purloin millions from the help
less public, is responsible more than any
one else for setting in motion the power
of public opinion that has forced great
corporations to seek shelter from deserved
investigation, that has made great cor
poration lawyers desert the monopolies
they defended short time ago and to en-
list on the side of the people in the war
that is now being made against greed
and robbery. For time the country
was disposed to regard Lawson as n shall
low blatherskits seeking notoriety, but
time has ''made good nearly all the
charges he preferred against the magnates
of the corporation world In response to
the Urgent invitations of the Governors of
FIVE States he is today in the West telling
the people Of the great crimes that are
committed by the so-called captains of
industry in the money centers of the East
Great sums of money have been spent by
the trusts to discredit and crush him, but
armed as he was with the truth he has
beaten down his enemies and won the
confidence of the public. Less than a
year ago he made this promise to the
people:
s.Inside of three months / will have the
frenzied fnaneiers of the three big in
surance companies working overtime ex-
posing each others robberies," and in the
light of the great Equitable scandal and
stealing there can be no question that he
has made his promise good. 1t is an IN
teresting fact and one that is well to men
tion at this time, that a few days ago
while en- route for the West TO fill some OF
his speaking engagements, he gave an in
terview to james Creelman, for the New
York World, which he discussed the ten
million-dollar Rockefeller gift and made
The fo,lowing prediction:

ciers win have given back many times ten

1t appears that the enterprising
society editors" in New York,
who charged $500 a copy for their
publication on i" Americas Smart
Set," including incidental immun-
ity, had previously projected a still
more magnificent, expensive and
exclusive work. This was appro-
priately called "Fads and Fancies,"
and the subscription price was
$1,000. According to testimony
taken by the District Attorney,
one hundred copies Of this intend
ed book were actually subscribed
and paid for, presumably by MEM
bers of the ''smart set" fsur years
ago. The book has not yet appear
ed, though the proceeds have been

to fads or fancies leads him or her
to invest such a sum in such ven

FRIGHTENED BY THE FRANkEN-
STEMS.

Mr.. Thomas W. Lawson has been rath-
er furiously denounced 10y the putocra-
tie press as an extravagrant and pie
turesque liar, but evidence is not wanting
that he, more than any other man in the
country, is responsible for the present
popular revolt against corporation ihievery
and oppression. Having for years been
prominent actor in the play of "1igh
Finance his revelations regarding the
plots hatched behind the scenes against
the public have greatly interested and
aroused the American people because they
instinctively felt that he was telling the
truth And he has told the truth. No
man not familiar with the plans aud the
methods of the great commercial brigands
could have stirred the country rs he has
done with his articles on and exposures OF
"frenzied finance" Without attempting
to discuss the motives that prompted him,
the fact remains that he has thrust aside
the curtain and shown the people how
the captains of Industry are able to pile
up enormous fortunes in two or three
years. He may be, as has been charged,
guilty of treachery to his former asso-
ciates, but there San be no doubt that his
work has been effective. Many of the
great plundering corporations are hurry
ing to cover. Within fortnight We have
seen-John D. Rockefeller drop $40 ,000, GOO
of his ill-gotten wealth as q sop to the
swelling tide OF public condemnation. We
have seen some of the ablest lawyers IN
the country whose brains were few
years ago employed in the organization of
powerful trusts become frightened at their
own work and espouse the cause of the
public against the commercial Franken
stems, the soulless monsters. they had
created.
Only few weeks ago Mr.. SamneI Tn
termeyer, one of the greatest corporation
lawyers Of New YORK, declared that this
country was rapidly approaching a terrible
crisis and to avoid it the government With
the least delay possible should assume the
regulation OF the great trusts with firm
hand, for the PEOPLE We're thoroughly
aroused and In their determination TO
overthrow monopoly would not stop at
anything Within the past week we have

PROF. S1UBBS ON OYSTERS.

Washington, D. c., July l3.-
Prof w. G. Stubbs, of New Or
leans who recently resigned from
university work to accept the posi-.
tion Of president of company
which has taken up 400 acres OF
land on the Gulf Coast, below the
city, to carry on extensively the
business of raising oysters has been
spending several days in Baltimore
offering inducements to oyster
packers to locate plants in Louis
lana.
eve have in Louisiana, a num-
ber of packing houses" said Prof.
Stubbs, twenty of which were
formerly located in Baltimore, but
were forced to move away because
of the condition of the oyster in-
dustry. AE evidence of the more
favorable conditions in Louisiana
for oyster packers is found in the
fact that, whereas in Baltimore last
winter the price Of oysters ranged
from 60 cents to 81 bushel, in
Louisiana oysters were sold to the
packers for from 10 cents to So a
barrel of two and half bushels.
The supply of oysters in Louisi-
ana is growing, not decreasing,
while in Maryland the supply is
decreasing.
81 am a Virginian by birth, and
still make my home in summer at
our family place in Gloucester
county. know the Chesapeake
Bay aud have studied the oyster
situation there. The bay is the
greatest oyster farm in the world,
if Maryland had a liberal oyster
law, Louisiana nor any other State
could compete with the product of
Chesapeake Bay. The fact that
Maryland has not such laws and
cannot get them as long of the self
ish and ignorant oyster men rule
the State, is the reason why Lou
isiana and other States are forging
to the front. Ina few years it will
be rare thing to find Maryland
oyster anywhere outside of Balti-
more, unless the people realize that
the time has come for drastic ac-
ton and simply overwhelm the
oystermen and pass a law to save
this great industry TO the State Of
Maryland.
"In Louisiana waters we do not
plant seed oysters, but simply
dump oyster shells overheard on
the selected ground. BY law these
shells cannot be used for any pur-
poses. We get crop Of oysters
from the shells in twenty-seven
months. We allow no dredging
in less then fifteen feet Of water,
and practically all planting is done
in four or five feet Of water. We
can even get oysters in Louisiana
on dry gound in between tides,
which is impossible in Maryland"

practice to become Judge of the Court
of Appeals in New Jersey at a salary of
only $4,000 a year. He has been the
legal father of many of the largest trusts
in the country, and it is quite natural that
they should protest against his action, be-
cause they know that he who made them
in their legal form is now to be the Judge
of their crimes against the law
II seems that Wall street was surprised
and startled by Mr.. Dilps acceptance OF
the judicial Office and there was no end OF
speculation as to the reasons for the step
he had taken from the riches of corpora
ton practice to the comparative poverty
of the bench, but the friends who are close
TO him declare that the recent scandals of
high finance and the demands made on
lawyers to save their capitalistic clients
from the law influenced his decision to go
on the bench. lie has done this appar-
emily with the determination to crush the
lawlessness of the corporations he was
largerly instrumental in creating. In dis
cussing the step he had taken personal
friend is thus quoted by the New York
Times:
''Mr. Dill goes on the Court of Errors
and Appeals not as a friend OF corpora
tions. but as a stern and fearless judge.
As the au:ho of the corporation law of
New Jersey, he knows every phase of the
trust question. As counsel during recent
years for many vast corporations, he i s
acquainted with their legal possibilities
and their limitations.
.tThe matter Of income does not enter
into the case. Mr.. Dill has made all the
money he needs for the support of him
self and family, and the mere accumuia-
tion of wealth has no attraction for him.
The salary of an entire year as judge he
often has made in single day of law
practice. The honor of place in the
highest conIt OF the State more than com
peasates for the monetary loss.
but there is a deeper and more serious
question than money or position involved
in this matter Mr.. Dill feels that the
time has come when a corporation lawyer
lnust decide upon which side he will ally
himself, whether on the side OF honesty,
of law and of justice, or with the finan
cial schemers who grow more defiant Of
law each year and make demands upon
their lawyers for services that conflict
with conscientious scruples.
"Under such conditions the opportnn-
ity to lay aside law practice with his
name untarmshpd hy connection with aay
questionable undertaking and to take up
a position where the inscriptions frenzy
