IF NOT JUROR. THEN THE JUDGE.

TIE chafgc has been made that the big cor
u porations, the Standard Oil Company in
particular, have great power with the courts
This has been denied, but the action OF court
IN Ohio in upscttng the suit won against the
Standard Oil Company for violating the anti
trust law lends color TO the charge that some
courts are dominated by the trusts. The Stand
ard Oil Company has made desperate efforts to
escape punishment for its violations in Ohio.
For there was an attempt to bride the jurors TO
hold out for verdict for the defendant. That
failed but now subservicnt court is discovered
that promptly complies with Standard wishes and
on alleged techncalities the verdict is set aside.
1t is 10 wonder that the American Federation OF
Labor is suspicious Of some of the courts and
that President Roosevelt limited that judges were

Pont building at Tenth and Market streets, is a
large sign bearing the words "Laborers Wanted"
Evidently there is plenty Of work and no man
need be compelled TO sleep out Of doors these
nights Those who do so those who arc tranps,
evidently prefer that sort OF life TO one OF toll,
and they therefore take the consequences. There
arc times when men cannot secure work and are
forced to become tramps but these are not such
times. Sympathy for the unemployed laborcrs
these days is largely wasted

AT ILAlINGTON is not the only city that
w suffers from the service OF the public
service corporations. Over in Morristowr ~ j..
the citizens rising in protest against the poor
quality OF light supplied TO the place The poo
pie held an indignation meeting and talked right
out to the manager OF the local public service
corporation which is owned by foreign capital
.ists. A committee was appointed 10 investigate
the plant Of the lighting company and also to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF forming a competing
company The report says that the Colonel who
is the manager OF the company, WINGED" under
the criticism. In this perhaps he is different
from our local managers, who never "wnce,
even under a constant bombardment OF protests
and indignation. Why is it that public service
corporations arc being constantly criticsed2 The
reason is not hard TO guess They dabbc in poll
tics and try to prevent the people from getting
at them through the Legislature or other law
making body They evidently believe that it is
cheaper 10 control the lawmakers than it is to
give their patrons satisfactory service at fair
price.

Of The Leader and Mr.. Milton IL. Reynolds, OF
the Wilmington Candy Company on the de-
struction of their stores by fire this morning. It
was an awful visitation and means an enormous
loss TO those hard working men whose efforts
and abilities built three of our citys most sue
cessu and prosperous stores. We hope the
loss caused by the fire is fully covered by insur-
ance, and that they will very soon be able to re-
sumo business. Our city cannot afford to lose
three of its most enterprising stores.

denouncing the railroad companies for their at
titude OF resistance against laws proposed by the
government The question is brought up by the
car shortage and the coal famine in the North
west and the desire of President Roosevelt that
the Interstate Commerce Commission should
have additional powers. A State official of Vir-
ginia declares that il the railroad companies do
not alter their course. and if they continue their
policy of resistance to law and government au-

The courts in New England have upheld the
Federal eight-hour law. An appeal will be taken
TO the Supreme Court OF the United States in an
effort 20 have the law declared unconstitutional
and force men to work more than eight hours.
It will mean a great thing for the workngmen
il the validity of the law is established because
similar laws would be adopted in States and mu-
inequalities. President Roosevelt is heartily in
favor Of the eght-hour movement and there is
every reason to believe that the advocates Of the
measure will win battle in the court Of last
resort.

Joe Eupihea and Deputy Sheriff Chris

County, being under County jurisdic-
