POWER
SCORED BY PARKER

HENDERSONVILLB n. C. July. u.
"A plea for State rights as against the
Capitalization of power in the Federal
Government was made by Judge Alton
B. Parker. In an address delivered be-
fore the meeting of the North Carolina
Bar Association here.
Judge Parker declared that IL was
upon common law principles that the
American cOlonists asserted their right
of independence, their right TO estab-
lish a separate government, and their
right to adopt a constitution. They
knew of no powers 20 confer on q Fed
eral Government except those which
represented the REIMBURSEMENT Of rights
of the States as understood at common
law. He said:
The campaign against the govern
mental plan of the fathers is on. and
has been for several years 1t has for
its leader the most accomplished politi-
clan of our history. Behind him ana
backing him stand those great corpora
tons Of the country which are en-
gagged in interstate commerce and in
surance. Their reason is that It is cas-
Ter to deal with one government than
with many"

Cheapening the NeceSSarieS.

Grateful, indeed, will be this news
which comes from London, to the
effect that there is going to be war
among the diamond producers and
that the competition is expected
to reduce prices.
The burden of monopoly has no.
where made itself more onerous on
the bending backs of the plain peo-
pie than in this matter of diamonds
1t has got so that the working man
could almost as easily have beef
steak twice a day as buy a diamond
necklace for his wife. Diamonds,
since the establishment of the De-
Beers monopoly, have become al
most as much luxury as anthracite.
Indeed, we do not recall any one of
the necessaries of life that has been
so financed and handled as to pro-
duce such tremendous monopoly div
idends as diamonds.
The DeBeers company has just in
creased its dividends to 20 per cent,
which is approximately twice as
much as the Standard Oil pays. Now
comes report that the interests of
the various independents in the dia-
mond fields may get together and
undertake to fight the DeBeers con-
troll, with the view of breaking its
domination. Incidentally it is point
ed out that prices would be smashed
during the fight.
We shall watch with sympathetic
interest the efforts of diamond to
cut diamond, so to say. Diamonds,
like kerosene and illuminating gas,
are now so strictly ratabIe as neces-
saries of life that it is really desir-
able TO do something about them.
Moreover, we have long felt that
the United States. which consumes
most of the diamond output of the
world, is being victimized by a rob-
Der baron trust having habitat in
London and Amsterdam.
When contemplating the things
that the Beef trust, the Steel trust.
the Sugar trust, and the rest of
them do to us, patriotic instinct
forces a certain tempering of re-
sentiment with pride in the fact that
these magnificent arrangements for
relieving us Of too much money are
of American origin and manage
ment, monuments TO the skill and
brain of our countrymen. But when
we realize that the diamond graft
is the biggest of them all, we are
forced to admit that the sparklar
market would stand a few bearish
impulses without hurting orr feel.
ings. Not even patriotic pride can
find excuse for paying present prices
for our diamonds, because the
blooming Britisher is getting all the
dividends and we are contributing
most Of them.
