with the idea that the American ex-
pertinent in government is ended and
referred to the fact that Socialists in
no neclieible numbers demand re-
organization of society upon entirely
different principles He also noted
that limitation upon the right of pri-
vate property was widely favored and
limitations upon individual opportunity
still more widely enforced among the
wageworkers of the labor unions, who
believe in putting limit upon the
amount of work which each man shall
be permitted to do in a day. He
thought it doubtful if higher educa-
ton contributed much to capacity for
political usefulness.
Foraker Repudiates Deal.
United States Senator Foraker of
Ohio has set at naught all efforts of his
colleague, Senator Dick. Boss Cox of
Cincinnati and other Ohio Republicans
to establish a harmonious agreement
or modus vivendi between the Foraker
and Taft factions. In prepared state
ment Senator Foraker said he would
not stand by any arrangement that
might be made to indorse Taft for
president and Foraker for senator or
otherwise provide for an amalgama-
ton of the Taft and Foraker forces.
He denied that he was or is a party
to the peace pact. and he refused to
sanction any agreement reached by the
then projected conference of Ohio con-
greSsmen, which was called by Sena-
tor Dick. Following this statement
Senator Dick postponed the confer
ence. Foraker insists that Cox's state
ment in favor of Taft for president
and Foraker for senator was made
without consultation with him.
The failure of the state central com
! mittee to meet and indorse Taft for
the presidency was regarded as giving
Foraker the advantage in the first
round of the fight. Congressman Bur-
ton made 1t plain that Taft would not
accept an Ohio Endorsement for the
presidency which entailed his support
OF Foraker for another term in the
senate.

Constitution Defines Courts.

In an opinion rendered by Associate
Justice Brewer of the supreme court in
the case of Kansas versus Colorado the
contention is made that congress has
no power after creating a court to linn
it its judicial powers. This is the po.
sitlon taken by former Senator Spoon
er in his debate on the rate bill in the
senate. Justice Brewer says that the
judicial power of nation extends to
all controversies iusticiable in their ma
ture, and when this power was vested
in the courts of this nation it must be
held to embrace all controversies aris-
in within the territorial limits of the
nation no matter who may be the par
ties thereto

Correspondence from Washington
told of the contents of the Severance

corning the Hartman railroad deals,

May Net Destroy Forests.

The supreme court has held that tbs
state of Georgia had a right to protect
it's forests and that the Tennessee Cop
per company and the Duck town Sui
phur and Iron company could be en-
joined from so conducting their smelt-
ing works on the Tennessee side of the
line as to destroy forests and vegeta-
ton in the state of Georgia. The court
gives Georgia until the October term
to submit the form of decree with
which it would enioin the operation Of
the smelters. In the meantime the OBJ
jectionable companies are said to be
installing a plant that will condense
the sulphurous fumes and which would
thus render the decree unnecessary.
However, the decision remains impor-
tant as affecting the principle of forest
and vegetation protection. The smelt-
ing companies in the case are largely
owned by Standard Oil interests, and
the case has been pending for a year
and a half

Roosevelt In Haywood Case.
The trial of W. D. Haywood at Boise,
Ida, for the murder of former Gov
ernor Steunenberg, continued with the
examination of talesmen during which
the latent feeling struck sparks several
times In the fencing Of the opposing
counsel. Many talesmen got excused
on various pleas or were dismissed on
account of holding fixed opinions con-
corning the accused. More than box
full had been passed Professionally by
| both sides, but each had ten peremp-
tory challenges to use. Judge Wood
allowed the widest latitude in the
questioning, and the defense constantly
asked talesmen if they had been in
fuenced by the undesirable citizens"
letter from President Roosevelt or by
the speech of Taft at Boise last year.
Counsel Richardson, for the defense,
had brought out the fact that one
talesman would believe Orchard under
oath, and as Orchard is the chief wit
ness for the state this showed that the
prosecuting attorneys had overlooked
a point as some of the men passed
| might uOlu slulldr views. AFTER tnat
the state challenged for any such opin-
ion, and the court overruled objections
made by barrow for the defense. Oar
row said opinions concerning the presi-
dent might be asked and Borah holly
replied that the defense had dragged
Roosevelt in at all times. barrow then
said that the president had butted into
the case las he is always doing" The
state made 1t known that they would
call more than $50 witnesses in its eff
fort to connect the accused man and
his labor organization with various
crimes. On May 16 Orchard stated in
an interview with reporters that no
confession had been forced from him
and that no promise Of immunity had
been made.

Eight Hour Day Decision.

The supreme court has sustained the
validity of the federal law limiting to
eight hours Il day the employment of
laborers and mechanics by contractors
on government works, but coupling
with the finding that the law does not
apply to the employees on dredges.
Justice Holmes said that as floating
dredges We're vessels, all the hands en-
ployed on them were classed as sea-
men, and it had been held repeatedly
that seamen were not subject to the
eight hour law. This decision settles
a question which has prevented the
awarding of $S7,000,OO0 of contracts
authorized by the river and harbor act.
The estimates for these appropriations
were made on the basis of dredge
boat employees not being included in
the eight hour restriction.
