MR.. SWANSON EXPLAINS.
His Friends Say Charges Against Him
Are Not Seriously Considered.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
STERLING. Va, August 10, 1908.
Representative Claude A. Swanson ad-
dressed an open-air meeting at this place
this afternoon, and in response to a writ
ten request, signed by number of demo-
cratic voters, explained his connection with
the so-called post Office frauds Mr.. Swan
sons friends seem quite satisfied with his
presentation of the case. 1t is, of course,
impossible to determine what effect the
charges will have at the primary. but Mr..
Swanson's friends declare the allegations
will not be seriously considered.
In this section of Loudoun and in Fairfax
county the sentiment seems to be about
equally divided between Swanson and VII
lard while in upper Loudoun, where there
is strong prohibition following. Mann is
gaining ground.

resident of Point of Rocks. and the Oldest
inhabitant there. took place yesterday, in
the presence Of a large crowd. at Point of
Rocks. Mr.. SpittIe was an ex-confederate.

Ohio Railroad Company. In whose service

outcome of civil war.

that any reform Is practically hopeless Tat

merce. that they are not parties to any con-
tract or combination or engaged In any
monopoly In interstate trade In viola ton OF
the antitrust law and that their conduct
on certain other specific points is proper:
ana, moreover, that these corporate tons shall
agree. with a penalty of forfeiture OF their
right to engage In such commerce, to fur
nish any evidence of any kind as to their
trade between the states whenever so re-
CURED by the Department OF Commerce.
1t Is the almost universal policy Of the
several states, provided by statute that
foreign corporations may lawfully conduct
business within their boundaries only when
they produce certificates that they have
complied with the requirements of their re-
specttve states; in other words. that cor
porations shall not enjoy the privileges and
immunities afforded by the state govern
ments without first complying with the
policy of their laws.
Now the benefits which corporations en-
gagged In interstate trade enjoy under the
United States government are incdlcula BILE,
and in respect of such trade the jursdc-
ton of the federal government is supreme
when 1t chooses to exercise it.
When, as Is now the case, many OF the
great corporations consistently strain the
last resources of legal technicality to avoid
obedience to a law for the reasonable regu-
lation Of their business. the only way effect
lively to meet this attitude on their part Is
to give to the executive department Of the
government more direct and therefore
more efficient supervision and control Of
their management.
Danger in Misrepresentation.
In speaking against the abuses committed
by certain very wealthy corporations or in
dividuals. and Of the necessity OF seeking
far as 1t can safely be done to remedy
these abuses. there Is always danger lest
what is said may be mfsinterpreted as an
attack upon men of means generally.
Now 1t cannot too often be repeated in a
republic like ours that the only way by
which it Is possible permanently to benefit
tunate Is so to shape our policy that all
Industrious and efficient people who act de-
Gently may be benefited; and this means,
of course, that the benefit will come even
more to the more able and more fortunate.
If, under such circumstances, the less for
tunate man Is moved by envy OF his more
fortunate brother to strike at the condi-
lions under which they have both. though
unequally. prospered. he may rest assured
that while the result may be damaging to
the other man, it will be even more dam
aging to himself.
OF course, I am now speaking OF pros
perity that comes under normal and proper
conditions.
In our Industrial and social system the
interests Of all men are so closely inter-
twiued that In the immense majority of
cases the straight-dealing man who by In
genuty and industry benefits himself must
also benefit others. The man of great pro-
ductive capacity who gets rich through
guiding the labor of hundreds or thousands
OF other men does so. a rule, by enabling
their labor to produce more than II would

A Vital Factor for Success.

A Vital Factor for Success.
A vital factor in the success Of any en-
terprise is the guiding intelligence of the
man at the top. and there is need in the in
terest of all of us to encourage rather than
t. discourage the activity Of the exceptional
men who guide average men so that their
labor may result in increased production of
the KIND which Is demanded at the time.
Normally we help the wage-worker, we
help the man of small means. by making
cor dltfons such that the man of exceptional
business ability receives an exceptional re-
ward for that ability.
But while insisting with all emphasis
upon this, 1t is also true that experience
has shown that when there Is no govern
mental restraint or supervision. some of the
exceptional men use their energies not in
ways that are for the common good. but
In ways which tell against this common
good; and that by so doing they not only
wrong smaller and less able men-whether
Wage-wOrkers or small producers and trad
ersmbut' force other men of exceptional
abilities, themselves to do what is wrong
under penalty Of falling behind in the keen
race for success. There is need of legisla-
ton to strive to meet such abuses. At one
time or in one place this legislation may
take the form of factory laws and employ
ers liability laws.
Dealing With Franchises.
Under other conditions it may take the
Win vi oediiIiS Win the franchises which
derive their value from the grant of the
representatives of the people. 1t may be
aimed at the manifold abuses, far-reaching
IN their effects, which spring from over
capitalization. Or It. may be necessary to
meet such conditions as those with which
am now dealing and to strive to procure
proper supervision and regula tion by the
nationa! government of all great corpora
lions engaged In interstate commerce or
doing an interstate business.
There are good people who are afraid of
each type Of legis,a ton; and much the
same kind of argument that is now adj
vanced against the effort to regulate. big
corporations has been again and again ad-
vanced against the effort to secure proper
employers liability laws proper factory
laws with reference to women and chill
dren: much the same kind of argument was
advanced but five years ago against the
franchise-tax law enacted in this state
while was governor.
OF course there Is always the danger of
abuse II legislation of this type Is ap-
preached in a hysterica1 or sentimental
spirit, or, above all, II Il Is approached In
a spirit OF envy and hatred toward men
of wealth.
We must not try to go too fast, under
penalty of finding that we may be going
in the wrong direction; and in any event.
we ought always to proceed by evolution
and not by revolution. The laws must he
conceived and executed In a spirk Of sanity

and justice. and with exactly as much re-
gard for the rights of the big man as for
the rights of the little man-treating big
man and little man exactly alike.
Our ideal must be the effort to combine
all proper freedom for individual effort
with some guarantee that the effort Is not
exercised in contravention of the eternal
and immutable principles OF justice.

1TuStS RESTRAIN 1Ta0c.
The consolidation in the form of what are
popularity called trusts of corporate inter-
ests of immense value has tended to pro-
duce unfair restraints Of trade of an OPP
press!ve character. and these unfair re-
straints tend to create great artificial
monopolies. The violations of the law
known the antitrust law which was
meant to meet the conditions thus arising
have more and more become confined to the
larger combinations, the very ones against
whose policy of monopoly and oppression
the policy OF the law was chiefly directed.
Many OF these combinations by secret
methods and by protracted litigation are
still unwisely seeking to avoid the conse.
ouences Of their illegal action.
The government has very properly exer-
cised moderation in attempting to enforce
the criminal provisions OF the statute; but
1t has become our conviction that in some
cases, such a. that Of at least certain OF
