SENATOR FORAKER'S DEFIANCE

>'A1ANHAOH FOft&AR EkG'S DEhIANCE
Those who know the man were
struck almost dumb last week when
Senator Foraker was quoted as sayin.
that he was going to quit the Ohio
held to Mr.. Secretary Taft because, at
this time, 1t did seem that. the War
Secretary had the call. Senator For
aker, so the report went on to saw.
did not desire to stand in the way of
Ohto's favorite son, and was able to
show how big he was by bowling to the
Will or a majority of Republicans Of
the state. For moment after this re.
opoTt, preceded by Senator Dicks call
for meeting Of the state committee
and by proclamation from the Hon.
George B. Cox to the effect that the
state committee ought to endorse Taft
for the Presidency and Senator Forak-
er for another term in the Senate, the
country was startled. The Taft forces
nailed all this as so much victory and
proceeded to make a fuss over 1T. and
at the same time, to declare, that
while Secretary Taft would be endors-
ed all right by the state committee, it
was doubtful II the committee would
endorse Senator Foraker for another
term in the Senate. This conduct n av.
ed right into the hands of Senator
Foraker, Senator Dick and Mr. Cox,
for they sent out to locate the plans
and purposes Of the Administration
and the Taft forces generally. Locat-
ing them to their perfect satisfaction.
Senator Foraker now re-enters the
race, pulls down the white flag and
draws up the red again, this time to
leave 1t up until the next meeting Of
the Ohio state convention.
Il think it due my friends" said the
Senator in his latest statement, and
to the whole body of Republican voters
IN the state to announce that all uueg-
lions Of Endorsement and nomination
should, in my opinion, be deferred I'M
I'll the next state convention can act
upon them" Again, Efforts to settle
them Questions of endorsemenD in

nouncement or committee action. no
mLtter how we'll intended, usually do
more harm than good. The party will
be stronger and can act more intelli-
gently, If we will always wait for it's
duly chosen representatives to speak
on such questions and then loyalty
abide by the action so taken" AS to
the meeting yesterday of the state
committee at Columbus, the Senator
said: my public duties make it i'm.
possible for me to attend, If / desired
to do so, but without meaning to be
disrespectful, in view of the fact that
such meeting would have no author.
ity to bind any one on such matters.
/ would not attend it If could -
Which, all Of it, means that Senator
Foraker Is still in the running. and
means to stay there until the state
convention Of Ohio puts him out.

WILL STATEHOOD BE DELAYEDs

As Oklahoma has shown that 1t will be a Democratic State, we may look for the Republicans to induce the Pres ident not to issue the proclamation that is necessary before statehood can be accomplished. The enabling act of Congress only provided for five con- gressmen, whereas the census shows that seven should have been allowed. If however, the State is admitted now, It's electoral vote next year will be seven and 1t is possible that number may decide the Presidential contest. The three votes of Colorado, admitted in 1876, secured the Presidency for Hayes by one majority. The New York Evening Post says: On a basis of the populations estimated by Governors for the current year, Oklahoma is in twenty fifth place, below Maryland and above South Carolina. Only twenty two States in 1900 had larger popula- tions than Oklahoma has now. The people of both Oklahoma and Indian Territory rank high in point of lit eracy, and the proportion of native born is larger than in almost any other section. We give emphasis to these facts because it is in the face of them that the effort Is being made to defer Statehood for another year or two"

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER I0. 1907.

Congressman Hepburn Is quoted as saying in London that railroad prob lems in the United States arise prin- cipally from the dual nature of our government Nothing I have seen here could be introduced in America. The tremendous power the board of trade has over transportation impressed me
 For instance, when a new railroad is projected the route and the amount of capitalization must meet with the approval of the board of trade before fl is sanctioned. This initial investiga- ton would have been a good thing for the United States when the railroads of that country were in their infancy, but I think it is too late to try to in- troduce it now" Such an investiga- tion would probably have prevented the duplication of railroads in terri tory where one would have suficed, but 1t might also have prevented the con- struction of others that were required, provided those charged with the duty of approving or disappearing showed themselves incompetent or dishonest.

TRUST .BUsTING" THAT CUTS
 WRONG WAY.

The granting of injunctions by courts in certain cases is generally for the purpose of preventing what is alleged by petitioners as gross injustice and possible ruin. Sometimes, however, they work harm to those in whose in
 terests they are invoked. A recent case of this sort is the movement in Mississippi against the alleged cotton compress trust There, as in other Southern States. a combination seems to have control of the cotton compress ing business and in order to break that up certain features of the Mis- slssippi antitrust laws are invoked. Now comes the discovery that this pro- ceeding Is working a great hardship upon the farmers in whose supposed interest the proceedings were institu- ted and as a consequence meetings
