Did NOT Mean IL.

In his message to congress in De-
Gambler. 1905, President Roosevelt
said: AL contributions by corpora
tions to any political committee or for
any political purpose should be for
hidden by law; directors should not
be permitted to use stockholders
money tor such purposes; and, more
over, a prohibition OF this kind would
be, as far as it went, an effective
method CT stopping the evils aimed at
in corrupt practice ac.s. Not only
should both the national and the sew
eral state legislatures forbid any off,
Ger OF a corporation from using the
money OF the corporation in or about
any election, but they should also for.
bid such use Of money in connection
with any legislation save by the en-
plcyment of counsel in public manner
for distinctly legal services" Several
bills along this line were introduced,
but they failed to pass.

TAFT CALLED DOWN.

Judge Parker Says he is Trying to
Deceive the People.
Former Judge Alton B. Parker, in
q statement given out at New York
Wednesday took issue with some OF
the uttterauces OF Secretary Of War
Taft in the speech delivered at
Greensboro, N. G. by MI. Taft last
Monday. Judge Parker declares tina:
the secretary In bis speech sought to
have the public draw the inference
that the recent prosecutions Of alleg.
ed illegal combinations are adue to
new statutes. To this Judge Parker
takes exception and to support his
contention be quotes from MS letter
Of acceptance and a speech suoss-
quensly delivered during the last
presidential campaign. In both the
speech and the letter Judge Parker Is
quoted as saying that the laws on the
statute book we're entirely adequate
if enforced.
Judge Parker in his statement says:
t''The inference that Secretary
Taft would have the public draw
from his utterrnces is that these
things are due to new statutes; that
the Vindication which the law is noW
receiving Is due to congressional &C.
tion since 1904, But that Is not so.
Not one Of the successful prosecutions
for which the existing administra-
uion Is now entitled to credit Is bas-
ed on any new statute. Every sin
gle one of them down to this date
rests solely upon the law as IL stood
in 1904, and it should not be lost
sight of by q discriminating public
that the law could have been enfor-
ced In 1904, and in 1903, and in 1902,
Just as well as today. Had 1t been
