Amateur Craftsmanship.

1t has been agreed by the Administration
that the Attorney General must take an appeal
to the Supreme Court from the decision of
Judge Humphrey declaring corporation off.
Gals cannot be reached by the antitrust law,
who have given information to the Bureau of
Corporations. So far the trust busting cam
paign of President Roosevelt has all ended in
smoke and the trusts and corporations are
free to continue their combinations of restraint
oftrsde to prevent competition and plumber
of the consumers by charging unreasonable
prices for their products. President Roose-
welt has been about FIVE years trying to curb
the trusts and the only one disturbed so far
has been the Northern Securities Company
Yet that corporation is still in existence and
its constituent companies, the Great Northern,
the Northern Pacific and the Chicago Burling-
ton Quincy railroads, are one and all contin-
uing to charge all the traffic will bear and
good deal more than the people using those
lines of transportation, can well afford las they
did before proceedings we're commenced
against them.

Democratic statesmen foretold this break
down of the Republican plan of dealing with
the giant corporations. They advised that
under the common law such unlawful combi-
nations could be prosecuted, and the Supreme
Courts recent decision in the tobacco case
shows that the discriminating evidence may be
compelled from the unwilling lips of trust
magnates But that advice was not adopted
by the Administration, perhaps, because it
was recommended by Democrats, who would
thus share in the political advantage that
would accrue, but also because it was not
spectacular enough TO fit the strenuous mood
of the President.
If the decision of the lower court in the
Beef Trust case stands and the trust magnates
and their employees, who have given conf
IDENTIFY to Commissioner Garfield or to his
agents any information, cannot be prosecuted,
however much they have offended against the
law, the whole expensive machinery of the
government breaks down at the first attempt
to run it.
If we had not been assured that the Admin
istration was hot foot and ardent after the
trust magnates and anxious to put the crimi-
nal ones in stripes, it would be bat fair TO as.
sumo that all the bullying had been for political
effect and to induce the corporations to come |
down and interview the chairman, or treas
urer, of the Republican national and congress
sional campaign committees on the amount of
the check necessary for immunity. But perish |
the thought, ii is almost sacrilegs to think
that ''the only honest Republican Admins
tration since the war would prove derelict
to duty and false to the people that have given
such proof of their devotion. No, we mus,
put it down to laundering and amateur states
mauship.

PAUL JONES BURIED.
One of the Greatest Events on Mary
land Soil.
From the Baltimore Sun.

FROM the baltlmOre sum-
In the presence of perhaps the most dis
tinguished assemblage that ever gathered in
Maryland, eulogies were pronounced Tuesday
over the body of John Paul Jones, the Father
of the American Navy" in the great armory
of the Naval Academy, Annapolis.
The body was then borne to Bancroft Hall,
there to remain until the completion of the
beautiful chapel where ii will finally rest.
1t was tremendous success in every way;
a momentous occasion for Annapolis and for
Maryland, whose glory is thus even more
strongly linked with the great deeds of Amer
lean history, to which she contributed so
greatly; and an affair unique in the annals of
the republic.
In the gathering were President Roosevelt.
Governor Warfeld, of Maryland; Governor
Lea, of Delaware; Gen. Horace Porter, who
found the body in Paris; French Ambassador
Jusserand, Secretary of State Root, Secretary
of the Navy Bonaparte, Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson, Postmaster General Cortelyou
Speaker Cannon, Admiral Dewey, General
Bell, Chief of Staff of the Army; officers of a
French and an American squadron sent to
Annapolis to participate in the ceremonies,
and scores of officials of the Government, be-
sides a notable group of Marylanders.
The President referred to his decision that
Annapolis was the only place for the recep-
ton of Paul Jones' body.
Governor Warfeld told of Maryland's glori-
Gus share in the nations history.
The 0ratorio Society of Baltimore, under
the dictatorship of Prof. Joseph Pache,
achieved triumph by its rendition of the
musical program in conjunction with the
Marine Band.
After the exercises Governor War6eld gave
brilliant reception.
The President and other distinguished
guests, including the Governor and Mrs. War
field and Adjutant General and Mrs. Riggs,
we're entertained at luncheon by Admiral
Sands, Superintendent ofthe Naval Academy.
Among Baltimoreans attending were mem
bers of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association and Daughters of the American
Revolution, which organization chartered
steamers for the occasion.
The monitor Miantonomoh, bearing the
Maryland Naval Brigade, was sighted from
the feet, but did not approach the city, as the
water was extremely rough.

Correspondence OF the Democratic Advocate
ALLENTOWN, Pa, April l6, 1906
In Philadelphia, April IA, the day was very
fine, and every one looked forward for fine
Sunday, but when Sunday came rain fell very
hard until noon; in the afternoon / took the
train for Newtown Square, and enjoyed many
very interesting scenes along the old West
Chester turnpike, an out-of-the-way town Of
colonial fame, and one of the oldest mill seats
in the country. There are many such spots
within Is miles of Philadelphia. Less than
20 miles from Philadelphia is old Newtown
Square. There are several old roadways run
ing TO and from Newtown Square that lead to
early land marks of special charm and also to
romantic and better known glens in the vcin.
ity of Ridley Creek, that will delight any one.
The road from Chester TO the great valley runs
through the old settlement aud the Old
Square, at the intersection of the Newtown
and Goshen roads, is three-quarters of q mile
from its modern rival and four miles from
Cooperstown. The Goshen road to Haver-
ford was laid out in 1867 and opened to
Goshen in 1719. The house Of special interest
in old Newtown Square is the one in which
Benjamin West passed his early boyhood days.
1t has been known of late years as the David
Pratt homestead; the house was built in 1742
by Francis Elliott.
The run from NewtowD Square to Bishops
Hollow is over three miles of picturesque
roadway, known as the Bishop mill road, and
leading direct to the famous old millseat on
Ridley creek. This romantic glen, now known
as Bishops Hollow, was formerly the scene of
great activity and industry in the long ago,
when this was one Of the earliest millseats in
the country. A grist mill, saw mill, plaster
mill, Sitting mill and rolling mill, were all in
active operation. The Hollow is now strange
ly silent in comparison, as the ancient grist
mill is all that is left 1t is said that the arch,
still noticed over the tail race, is part of the
original mill built in 1717. We leave old
Newtown Square for Philadelphia, April l6,
then to Allentown, which is So miles, by the
P. & R. R. R. The day is fine, farmers are
blowing, hauling manure; very many farmers
use manure spreader, you can see them as
you pass from farm to farm. There are a
great many gasoline engines sold here. Grain |
and grass is looking fine. Will leave for New |
Jersey tomorrow.
Very truly yours, d. W. ID.
