Missionaries Appeal for Congo Reform

Through the secretary of the Congo
Reform Association at London, forty
British missionaries Tuesday addressed
an appeal to the foreign minister, Sir Ed
ward Grey. for the British governments
immediate assumption of consular jurisdic-
ton in the Congo Free State in order to
protect British subjects there. The mis-
sionaries say they realize from their ex-
perience of the Congo judiciary that 1t is
almost impossible to obtain independent
witnesses in cases which have been
brought against subjects of Great Britain,
owing to the facilities of the state au-
thorities to intimidate witnesses. The ap-
peal recognizes the serious nature of the
charge. but points out that it is supported
by the report of King Leopold's own COM
mission

CENTRALLZING POWER.

The close of Congress presents a
remarkable session and one that will
probably go down to history as the
enlargement of governmental power.
A number of measures that have
been enacted seem at first glance al
most usurpation of the police pow
ers of the states and the centraliza-
ton of the same in the United States
government. Perhaps this is most
forcefully shown in the enactment of
the meat inspection and the pure
food laws. Both of these measures
authorize the practical control of all
kinds of edibles being placed in the
hands of government inspectors,
who will determine whether or not
they are fit for food. There is no
question but what the country has
been seriously imposed upon by sub
stitution of other articles which have
been resorted to in order to deceive
the public. But the constitutionality
of these measures is yet to be passed
upon. They are undoubtedly steps
in the right direction, if intelIigently
interpreted by the government off,
Gals who are charged with the duty
of enforcing the same, and we hope
that they will stand the test of the
court of last resort.
Another measure centralizing the
power Of the government is the rail
way rate bill This, however, is but
an enlargement of the duties of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
the original bill creating of the same
having passed a number of years
ago. While the people did not get
what they should have Oh account
of the back-down of President Roose-
Welt, yet the law is step in the right
direction and more easily amended
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1906-07-20

Just a year with this issue has
passed since the present editors took
charge of the Times. A years work
has taught us that to run newspa-
per is a lit tie bit harder job than any
other we have undertaken. Hoeing
corn a hot sultry July day is not in it
when compared with the strenuous
ness that is required every day in
newspaperdom, and husking corn
on a frosty morning OH the north
side of bleak field, or sortin' taters
in a cold cellar is but play when COM
pared with getting the proper kind
of copy ready for the press. There
fore, for easy work we are sorry we
did not stick to the farm and the
grubbing.-Ellicott City Times.
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1906-07-20

now that the way has been blazed
by the present measure.
Other measures of Importance have
been the adoption of the necessary
legislation for the beginning of the
Panama canal, which it now seems
will be lock affair instead OF sea
level, as was originally planned.
The adjustment of the duty on de-
natured alcohol is also big step in
the right direction, if the present pos
sibilities of this fluid are not too
much over-rated by enthusiasts.
Congress has also passed laws pre-
serving the two great scenic features
of the country, Niagara Falls and
the Mariposa trees in the Yosemite
Valley.
No doubt the present Congress has
done many good things, but the sins
of omission will weigh heavily
against its record. 1t would have
been much better for President
Roosevelt and his party if the bill
prohibiting contributions to cam
paign funds by interested corpora
tons should have passed, and it is a
burning shame and disgrace not TO
have dealt with our Insular posses
sions with the spirit of democracy
instead of enacting laws in the inter,
est of few corporations.
1t is our purpose to dwell more
fully on each of these subjects in the
near future.
