Trying to Get Strikebreakers.
Strike breakers are being employed
all over the country to send out tele-
graphic news; but men who can ope-
rate at the keyboard are few and far
between. The situation is serious and
threatens to tie up every branch of
business in the United States.

is almost impossible for dealers to
send or receive any reports. Fruit
growers will suffer a great deal as
they will have to wait for quotations
before shipping.

FORAKERs OPPOSITION.
What II Has Accomplished for Re-
pubIIcans of Ohio.

Editor The Washington Herald.
In an interview Mr. Myron r. Herrick,
former governor Of Ohio, makes the very
-smarkable statement that Senator For
aker is looked upon as constant and
consistent opponent Of Republican ad-
miristrations. State and national. and
gives "a list of those whom the Senator
has opposed.
Heading this list is the name Of Sen
ator Sherman. II is unquestionably true
that Senator Foraker did oppose Sher-
man, and it Is also unquestionably true
that until the elimination Of that opposi
ton every six years with a regularity
truly remarkable Ohio went Democratic,
so that throughout his long period Of
service Mr. Sherman never had a Re
publican colleague in the Senate.
Since the advent Of Foraker the sexen-
NAL Democratic wave has failed TO ma
terialize. and the Republican State Of Ohio
has had two Republican Senators and
an overwhelming majority in it's Con-
gressional delegation.
The inference that Senator Foraker has
ever given aid To the political enemy
by opposition TO the Republican admin
istrations is little short of Infamous.
Since he defeated Hoadly for governor
7 the Democrats have been twice successful
Campbell won through consolidation
| OF political 81 fortune which even For
aker could not withstand. The defeat
/ OF Herrick was IA a great measure due
/ to the open opposition OF Secretary Taft
I 10 the Republican ticket in Hamilton
/ County.
/ Senator Foraker has opposed many men
/ in his active career. during which. with
I the exceptions mentioned the Repubii-
can majorities in Ohio have steadily
mounted higher and higher. but il he
ever c0unseled his friends 20 vote the
Democratic ticket the record fails 10
show it.
And be certainly was not opposing the
present President when two years before
the election he forced the OHIO State
convention To- ind0rse the administration
/ in the face Of the opposition of Mr.. Hey
rick and his friends.
J Senator Foraker is a Republican with
out any qualifying aGjectives; be is also
an honest man and "a fair fighter. As
/ such I believe he is entitled to fair
/ field and no favor. j. A. HENNESl.

IN FAVOR or RAILROADS
Decisions Rendered by the L. -. SUI

Washington Nov. lS.-ThC case OF
the Georgia Railroad Company against
the tax authorities ot Georgia. and
of Fulton county in ,hat state, iuvolN-
ing the right OF the state to cailec'
back taxes on the sto>.: of the western
Railway OF Alabama. "a foreign corpo-
Iation, was decided today by the SUI
premc court OF the United States
against the state.
The taxes which ii sought To collect
run back To 1895. and the company
alleged that not only were they eN-
cessive. but that because they were
disCriminatiye because no such proceed
ing had been undertaken against any
other railroad, the legal contention be
ing that this was "A denial of equal pro

Justice Day also delivered the oPin-
ion Of the court in the case OF the Cen
tral OF Georgia Railway Company VS..
William A. Wright, comptroller gen
eral of Georgia and John w. Nelms.
sheriff OF Fulton county Georgia. in
favor OF the company thus reversing
in both cases the decisions of the su
preme court OF Georgia.
In the second suit The railroad COM
pany sought to evade the responsible
ity for taxes on stock of the Western
Railway of Alabama. The contrO-
versy was further complicated by the
circumstance that the stock is in the
possession OF the Mercantile Trust Co.
New York, by which il is held 20 Sc
cure the payment OF $1,000 900 worth
O. bonds, but the Georgia court helt
that as the substantial and bencfi
cial ownership Of the stock is i'm Geor-
sia is is liable TO taxation in that
state"
Justice Days decision reversing the
Georgia court was based upon he de
MAI TO the railroad company OF the
right TO be heard which he says. de
l'es the process Of law as required by
The constitution Of the United States
The case was therefore remauded to
the state court for further proceeding
il accordance with today's decis-
ion.

TAFT FASTENING HOME
Reason for Change in Sccretary.s
Plans Not known

Berlin, November 1S.-Regret is ex-
pressed at the foreign office here at
the fact that Secretary Taft's plans
will not permit him to be entertained
here or to visit Emperor William in
England. While it is perfecly under
stood that Mr.. Taft has no special OBJ
ject in altering his plans, it would
have been most agreeable for His
Majesty to have received the distin-
guished American traveller, to have
exchanged views with him, and to
have shown him many courtesies.
The emperor would have been able
to have seen Mr.. Taft in England up
to December 9th and as the audience
wa arranged at the secretary's request
1t is presumed that some urgent rea-
son exists requiring him to hasten
home.
