Judge Parker's Timely Warnin q.

The address of Judge Alton Parker before the
North Carolina Bar Association on July Ii clearly
indicated that the commtn law principles can solve
every problem in civil life if permitted to do So and
that the Capitalization of power in the Federal gov.
ernment which is now being attempted will destroy
the local authority of the states. The campaign
against the governmental plan of the fathers is on
aaid Judge Parker, 'and has been for several years
1t has for its leader the accomplished politician
Of our history. Behind him and backing him stand
these great corporations of the country, which are
engaged in interstate commerce and insurance
Their is that it is easier deal with one gov
ernment than with many"
The corporation funds of the life insurance com
panies which the Republican campaign managers
Corteyou and Bliss, solicit ed and received; the
acknowledged request of President Roosevelt to the
railroad magnate Hartman that he collect more
campaign funds which the president declared were
needed in New York, were no doubt in the mind of
Judge Parker, when he now charges that the presi-
dent is backed by the great corporations of the coun
try in his effort to centraze their eontrol in the
general government and thus release the railroads
and trusts from state laws. As the charge of Judge
Parker before the election of 1904 that the corpora
tons had contributed large sums TO the Roosevelt
has been fully verified by late. official
although denied by President Roosevelt
there can be no doubt that the proof will be forth
coming IN due time OF the present connection between
the corporations and the president.
Alton b. Parker, the honest and fearless Judge
was denied the presidency by the people, but those
voters who supported him must now feel more proud
Of their position than those who voted for the win
ming candidate.

The Breach Is Widened.

The Republican state central committee has come
and gone, leaving in its wake devastation and ruin
Taft was indorsed by divided vote, but the indorse
ment carries with it approval of the official record
of Foraker Taft Immediately wired his thanks in
face of his pronuncamento that he would not
accept Endorsement coupled with that of any
other person, while Foraker boldly repudiates the
entire performance. The Taft Endorsement by the
vote of afteen to six merely emphasizes the opposi-
tion to the Roosevelt candidate. Accepting the ff-
teen votes genuine expression of the sentiment
of the people for Taft then, by the process of
reasoning, the six be taken as an express
sion of the sentiment against him. This mathematic-
al process clearly shows therefore that nearly
third of the Republicans of Ohio are unalteraby op
posed to the candidacy of Taft for the presidency
The Forakertes acting upon the theory that the
action of the committee is meaningless and of no
binding effect upon any other than the members
as individuals and are carrying on their campaign
for delegates just as they would had the committee

patriotism which distinguished their services does

tors recognizing it sop of the transparent
kind and passing it by in disgust. The factional

is this situation that alarms the candidates for local
onces throughout the state and sends the shVers
and down their spinal columns. Phuntoms of cleo
tion day wrecks haunt them continually, asleep and
awake, and in their opinion salvation only come
in the early recognition by the Taft managers of the
collapse of the Taft boom and its prompt abandon
ment. They have no hope of Taft's nomination.
1t is conceded all sides that the Ohio deega ton
will be divided, and it is also conceded that ece-
dent in Republican national conventions is over
whemiugly against the nomination of candidate
for president who is not backed by the solid delega-
tion of his home state In view of the hopelessness

Strange BedfelloWs.

The Taft alliance with the notorious city bosses
Cox Of Cincinnati, Brown of Toledo, and Bieser of
Dayton through which he obtained control Of the
state committees, does not take well with honest and
conscientious Republicans, most of whom disapprove
of it as strenuousy they would an alliance with
Satan himself. The earnestness of their disappro, al
is shown in the following editorial taken from the
Dayton Journal of the oldest and ataunchest
Republican papers OF the state and edited up to the
acceptance Of his present position, by Samuel Flick
niger, private secretary to Governor Harris
"Poitics does make strange bedfeows. Two
years ago Secretary Taft in speech ut Akron de

resulted in the overthrow of COxs ticket at Cinen,

bad smash in Ohio Republican politics. But there
is too much money for Geo b, Cox get out of sue
cessful politics for him to give up. Consequently
when Mr.. Taft became candidate Cox saw his
chance for rehabilitation Cox swallowed Taft's in
suit of 1905 and out for Endorsement of the
Secretarys presidential aspirations. Now it is said
that Taft has agreed to vote for Cox's ticket this
year, and the boss hopes thereby to rehabtate him

AUTOMOBILE
TROUBLES.
Crowd of Farmers Mob
the Owners.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-S. B. Chaplin
the millionaire broker, Louis f
Swift, the millionaire packer, anc
two women, one the wife of the
broker, were mobbed by an angry
crowd of farmers In the vicinity
of Deertield, Ill.,, last Saturday,
when their automobile ran over q
boy. The famers built fire un.
der the automobile and compelled
Mr.. Chaplin and his companions to
walk two miles before they found
driver who hauled them to the
Morain hotel in Highland Park.
Mystery surrounded the affair
until to-day, when some of the
citizens of Deerfield issued state
ment to clear up the matter.
1t is said that as soon as the
accident took place the automo
bilists stopped the car and returned
to the spot where the boy lay and
were prepared to do all in their
power to help him, when they fell
into the hands of the enraged
farmers.
In fact, it is reported that even
after the motorists had been sub
jected to all this humiliation,
young Mr.. Swift went back to
Deerfield on the following day,
had the boy attended to by the
best of physicians, and offered to
indemnify him through his father
to any reasonable extent for his
injuries, regardless of the wreck
ing of the automobile.

Sore at Burton.

The recent speech of Congressman Burton, nation
al Taft manager in which he favored speedy modi.
fcation of tariff rates. has aroused the ire of some
of the big manufacturers in his district most of
whom have been among his staunchest supporters in
the past. One of these, very prominent Republi-
can, while in Columbus recently, voiced his resent.
ment in the following vigorous language
Congressman Burton, since stricken with the
senatorial fever, has become merely echo of Secre-
tary Taft. In public address he advocated an
early revision of the tariff and even went far to
favor extra session of congress for the purpose
The sudden conversion of this Taft followers to the
Democratic doctrine of tariff reform is mysterious
and unexplainable. He has been prominent mem
ber of congress for years, chairman of of it's
most important committees and it is surprising that
he so long neglected to introduce bill embodying
the Democratic views he now voices He will soon
learn that he has made sad mistake. A majority
of the Republicans protectionists and those who
in favor of tariff reform will join the Democratic
party where they will be in good company, and if
Taft and Burton sincere that's where they be-

ASSESSED
LARGELY.
Standard Oil Co. Fined
$29, ,24O, 100000.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Judge Kene
saw NJ. Lands today in the
United States district court, fineC
the Standard Oil .compay OF
Indiana, 500, 2l0, 900 for violation
of the law against accepting re-
bates from railroads. The fine is
the largest ever assessed against
any individuals or any corpora
tion in the history of American
criminal jurisprudence, and IS
slightly more than 13I times as
great as the amount received by
the company through it's rebating
operations. The case will be
carried to the highest courts by
the defendent company.
The penalty imposed upon the
company is the maximum per-
nitted under the law, and it was
announced at the end of long
opinion, in which She methods
and practices Of the Standard Oil
company were merciessly scored.
The judge, in fact, declared in
his opinion, that the officials of
the Standard Oil company, where
responsible for the practices of
which the corporation was found
guilty, were no better than
counterfeiters and thieves, his
aXact language being:
"We may as well look at this
situation squarely. The men who
thus deliberately violate this law,
wound society more deeply than
does he who counterfeits the coin,
or steals letters from the mail"
Judge Lands commenced read
ing his decision at 10 O'clock and
occupied about one hour in its de.
livery. He reviewed the facts in
in the case, took up the arguments
of the attorneys for the defence
and answered them, and then
passed judgement upon the com
pahy, which he declared violated
the law for the sore purpose of
swelling it's dividends.
The court held that the railroads
have no more right to make
secret rate for a shipper than
board of assessors would have to
make secret asse ssment on any
particular piece Of property.
The court expressed regret that
the law failed to provide more
serious punishment than a fine, but
Insisted that the penalty should
be sufficiently large to act as
deterrent, and not of sneh size as
20 encourage the defender to per
list in lawlessness.
