In the Ford trial Wilson and Coffey

been held out by Wilson to his fellow
supervisors. Other members Of the
board testified to the contrary.

feurs who drove the automobiles in

ment by a plutocracy; that he desires
to see justice done to and justice ex-
acted from rich man and poor man
alike. We are not trying to favor any
man at the expense of his fellows. We
are trying to shape things so that as
far as possible each man shall have a
fair chance in life; so that he shall
have, so far as by law this can be
accomplished. the chance to show the
stuff that there is in him. We have
no intention of trying to work for the
impossible and undesirable end of Civ
ing to the lazy, the\ thriftless, the
weak, and the vicious. the reward that
belongs to, and in the long run can
only come to, the hard working. the
thrifty. the resolute. and the honest.
But We do wish to see that the nee
essary struggle in life shall be carried
on under genuinely democratic cundi-
tions; that. so far as human action can
safely provide it. there shall be an ap-
proximately fair start; that there shall
be no oppression of the weak, and that
no man shall be permitted to acquire
or to use a vast fortune by methods or
in ways that are tortuous and dis
honest"

GERMANY'S INTEREST
IN OUR JAP TROUBLES
The Newspapers as Well as the For
eign Office Engaged in Considering
Probabilities.

Berlin. oct. Newspapers here to-
day devoted considerable space to a
discussion of the relations between the
United States and japan which is also
the subject of much comment at the
government office in Berlin, incident
al to Secretary Taft's arrival at
Toxic and his reception there; also. to
the recent disturbances in British
Columbia which are regarded as be-
ing embarrassing to Japan. placing it
beyond her power to ask anything from
the United States which she does not
ask from Great Britain.
Private reports from Vancouver re-
ceived here say that quite move
ment is under way there to show the
Dominion government that British
Columbia might prefer an attempt at
seeding rather than to submit to un-
restricted japanese immigration.

RIGHTEOUSNESS VS.. PROS
PERITY.

On the subject of the charge that
his course toward the corporations was
damaging to the business of the coun-
try the president said: I'VE earnestly
hope and believe that there will be no
permanent damage to business from
the movement, but that if righteous
ness conflicts with the fancied needs
OF business. then the latter must go
to the wall. We can not afford to
substitute any other test for that of
guilt or innocence, or wrongdoing or
welldoing, in judging any man. If
man does well, if he acts honestly. he
has nothing to fear from this admins
tration. But so far as in me lies the
corrupt politician, great or small, the
private citizen who transgresses the
law-be he rich or poor-shall be
brought before the impartial justice of

BORAH'S CASE
IS HALF DONE
It May Be Brought to An
End Today
The Court is Considering a
Motion to Direct An Ac-
quittal.

Boise, Oct. Federal Judge Ed
ward Whitson. presiding at the trial
of Senator Borah. will decide tomorrow
morning whether or not the case will
be taken from the jury and a verdict
of acquittal ordered by the court. At
the conclusion of the government case
today, the defendant entered a motion
for acquittal on the grounds that no
evidence had been adduced. The mo-
tion was argued at length by Special
Prosecutors Rush and Burch and by
James II. Hawley for the defense.
Borah's counsel waived the opening
argument on the motion. Hawley de-
clared that he would not have spok-
en- at all had it not seemed to him that
the government counsel either inten-
tionally or unwillingly had misinter-
preted much of the testimony before
the court. The jury was not present
during the argument.
Russ. opening the argument on the
government side, said that there GER
tainly had been tangible evidence of a
conspiracy on the part of a few per-
sons at least In this view Judge
Whitson said he coincided. The evil
dence against the senator was circum-
stantial. Rush admitted. but it tended
to show that the defendant had acted
in concert with other alleged conspir-
ators to the extent of at least receiv-
ing in his office deeds resulting from
fraud, and having the deeds recorded
at his request.
This act of the defendant Rush as
serted. placed him in the light of one
who received stolen property and it
required an explanation. Burch also
urged that there We're enough suspic-
ious circumstances to put the defend
ant upon answer and he argued that
an attorney is not privileged above
ordinary citizens of the United States.
Hawley. replying. said the prosecu-
tion was proceeding on the theory that
the defendant must prove himself in
nocent rather than that the govern
ment should prove him guilty. Hawley
claimed that the evidence of the gov
ernment's own witnesses was to the
effect that Senator Borah had always
that he was acting as an
attorney and that his desire was 10
protect his client. the Barber Lumber
Co, against securing claims tainted
with fraud.

of distinguished men, including the
governors OF more than a dozen states.

oasion of the presidents coming was

Again, as on yesterday, his theme
was similar treatment for the rich and
poor. Again he found occasion to
point his story with familiar colloqual-
isms. Isn't that a good doctrine?' he
asked, after stating a proposition in
addressing the Grand Army men in
front of him and when he received
a shout of assent he proceeded to say
that he was always willing to help
the man who stumbles or falls, but
not the man who lies down"
1T does his no good, and is too much

necessity of self mastery declaring that
every man must have a master" and
adding, that il he does not master
himself someone else will do So
In another connection he laid down
the general proposition that one Al
private soldier is worth a number of
poor major generals but he added that
an Al major general is invaluable. the
point being. that there is individual
merit and great price in every walk
of life. He was willing TO help the
big railroad man who is honest and
would protect him against the dema-
gogue. but he would not desist from
the condemnation of those who are
acting dishonesty.

CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY.
After greeting his audience the
president proceeded to a discussion OF
the matter of federal control and said.
During the last few years we of the
United States have been forced to con-
slider very seriously certain economic
problems. We have made a beginning
in the attempt TO deal with the rela-
tions Of the national government-thaI
is, with the relations of the people of
the country-to the huge and wealthy
corporations, controlled for the most
part by a few very rich men. which are
engaged in interstate business-espe-
cially the great railway corporations
You know my views on this matter.
You know that l believe that the ma
tional government, i'm the interests of
the people. should assume much the
same supervision and control over the
management of the interstate common
carriers that il now exercises over the
national banks. You know Furthermore
that believe that this supervision and
control should be exercised in a spirit
of rigid fairness toward the corpora
tions. exacting justice from them on
justice in return.
Recently l have been reading the
work of the eminent Italian scholar
Ferrero on the history of the Roman
Republic. when the life of the Roman
state had become that of a complex
and luxurious industrial civilization. l
am happy to say that the differences
between that civilization and our own
are more striking than the resem-
blances: and there is no warrant for
our being drawn into any pessimistic
comparison between the two civiliZa-
tions. But there is every reason why
we should study carefully the past in
order to draw from it lessons for use
in the present. One of the most strik-
ing features of the years which saw
the downfall of the Roman Republic
was the fact that the political life of
Rome became split between two camps,
one containing the rich who wished to
exploit the poor and the other the
poor who wished to plunder the rich.
Naturally. under such circumstances,
the public man who was for the mo-
ment successful tended TO be either
a violent reactionary or violent dem
agogue. Any such condition of politi-
cal life is as hopelessly unhealthy now
as it was then. l believe so implicitly
in the future of our people. because
believe that the average American cit
izen will no more tolerate government
by mob than he will tolerate govern

been the cause Of the riot in which
one policeman was killed, several 9TH
ers wounded and number of negroes
badly injured. The isolated house in
which half dozen negroes barricaded
themselves, Transforming the place
Into veritable blockhouse, which was
ared upon by policemen and citizens
from all sides for the better part of
two hours, proves to have been q
meeting place Of the scot. The trou.
bile started during a meeting, when
highly excited negroes drew razors on
Policeman Cambias because he at.
tempted to enter the meeting to in
vestigate reports of disturbance
caused by boys throwing stones
through the windows Razors were
drawn across his face and neck, NOR.

Of the meeting then fed.
Those who remained and barricaded
themselves were well armed and
after the negroes had been smoked
into submission by a burning fence
several shotguns and other firearms
were found under the Westinghouse.
Excitement in that section of the
city where the negroes held forth grew
intense and when the arrests followed
It required the efforts Of a score or
more Of policemen to get the negroes
through the mob and land them In the
