We are getting there gradually. Not many years ago when
the present writer argued that if mi1ionaires, eminent fnanciers and
great corporations violated the laws they should be treated like
other criminals, the doctrine was protested against as extreme
and impracticable radicalsn. And the timid ones were further
shocked when it was asserted that those classes of 1aw-breakers
were infinitely more dangerous to the country than ordinary
thieves. The detailed and specific revelations of the rascaities
of the Standard Oil Company and of Hartman and others
shocked the public into a thinking mood and this was followed
by angry denunciations. Yet the culprits were not without
their champions. From the subsidized pulpit and press came
henzied retorts. W. were told, in effect, that good men who
gave millions to churches and colleges couldn't do any wrong
and that all who criticised them ought to be ashamed of them
selves.

Now we have the de1ibeAte Judgment of a United States
Circuit Court judge that the Standard Oil criminals were, if
anything, worse than thieves or counterfeiters. Added to this,
we have a n official report from the Commissioner of Corpora
tons to the effect that the Company has charged extortionate
prices, has given short measure and has, in a word, cheated
the public right and left. This is apart from its rebating, its
INSCRIPTIONS, and in some cases infamous, throtling of compe-1
titon. Part of the money thus flched from the public has
been invested in churches, schools and newspapers to buy advo-
Gates and champions. Then the Conpany's financial affiliations
with banks all over the country has enabled it to secure as
defenders so-cal1ed respectable business men in various commit
mites throughout the country.

Many of our people profess uneasiness over the alleged
.socia1idic tendency among the masses, and in certain circles
there is apparently a sincere dread that the immediate future
may bring forth developments to threaten the very life of the
Republic itself. To all of these, this may be said:
The continuance and perpetpty of the Republic depends
upon just laws impariany enforced. Laws that give to one
class privileges denied to others are dangerous to the public
veal. Laws that are 50 unfairly enforced as to ignore certain
offenders while furnishing Others create a sentiment dangerous
to the National safety. We must sternly frown upon attempts
to undu1H influence our Legislative bodies. to pass vicious laws
or to refrain from passing remedial measures demanded by
equity and fair play.

Upon the educated, the rich and the powerful, the response
bniy of example is very great indeed. If they would see law
lessness and wild theories of government checked and halted, it
is incumbent upon them, above all Others, to help in getting
equitable laws and to lend their aid in the impartial and fear
less enforcement of them. Hitherto the worst lawbreakers have
been among those who had not the excuse of ignorance Oh
poverty. They knew better and they did not need the money

Equality before the law is the very lfe-blood of the

NO CARNEGIE MONEY NEEDED-JUsT LAWS MPARTALLY
ENFORCED OUR SAFEGUARD.

Why should the city of Newark go a-begging to Andrew
Carnegie for money to help build its schools2 This munich
paity is not in the paqper class It IS able TO pay for all its
reasonable needs, and surely has selfrespect enough to do so.
And, it may be added, if the money apporhoned to school pr-
poses had been wisely and economically spent we should now
have all the facilities and accommodations necessary without
having to face the possibility of asking for outside aid.
The fact that other communities have asked for and obtained
some of Carnegie's money is no reason at all why = Newark
should do likewise. Each community is simply an aggregation
of individuals, and the ma who wouldn't ask for charity on
his own account surely hasn't any more justification for making
the appeal because his neighbors are to share in the benefits.
When a citizen of this OF any other municipality wishes to
make a gift of a library, museum, school or park Ono great
rush observable so far) that is a different kind of a proposition.
1t alters the case entirely, however, when we are asked TO beg
anything from a rank outsider who has no interests in common
with us, who has never lived among us and whose posterity is
not likely to participate in the benefits or pleasures of the gift.
Future generations will surely be ashamed of the dead or
dormant local pride that permitted the people of today to either
ask or accept what they ought to be able to provide for them
selves. Selfreliance is a virtue that will stand considerable

As to Bucket shops.

Theoretically, a legitimate broker cannot
go broke, for he is presumed to be only
a broker, who buys and sells for others,
while the bucket shop man, who backs
the game, may lose the principal of all of
his customers. But the truth is that most
of the legitimate houses fail, too, and
carry down their patrons with them. Law
son., of "Frenzied Finance fame. is the
only man who ever proposed an absolute
remedy for the evils Of stock gambling.
He suggested that the Legislatures of the
various States pass laws making 1t crimi-
nal to sell stocks short. Such a law would
wipe out all bucket shops and all marginal
investments, and make the stock market
as steady as a real estate exchange.-Hud-

DISPLAY OF PRODUCTS
FOR COMMERCIAL CLUB

Secretary ]. A. Graham has started
the work of getting up an exhibit of
farm products for the Commercial
Club, that all the visitors who come
to the valley and visit the club may
see the best that is grown mere. He
asks for assistance of the farmers of
this vicinity, as well as those down
the road, in getting up as good a
showing as possible. All kinds of pro
ducts are wanted, including grains,
cereals, melons and pumpkins of all
kinds, fruits and vegetables. Every
farmer that has a nice specimen of
farm product is asked to bring to the
club a sample. If inconvenient to
bring the specimen, notify the secre-
tary and he will call or send for it.
The farmers ought to nelp with the
exhibit, for it will do mutual good.

tute.
the new landlady has had consider
able experience in the hotel business

methods predict for aer a continuation
of the Central's past success. She
will manage the place personally, but

rant. This condition is caused by fine.
small roots from willow trees in the
yard growing all around the foot of
the hydrant, completely encasilg the

rior of the valve and no doubt the ell

the hydrant connected with my well

critics decided to replace the three

hydrant was u1screwed, it was found
half full of a hard, felt-like mass of

THIS THE DAY OF
JEWISH AToNEMENT

The Jewish people all over the
world are today celebrating the Day
of Atonement, known in Hebrew as
.sYom Kippur." Among the rest, the
Jews OF Roswell took today as hol-
iday and closed all their places of
business and devoted their time to
an observance of the anto7ement-
Services were held in the l. o. o. F.
hall from ten to twelve this morning
and from two till four this afternoon.
Nathan Jaffa conducted the ceremo-
mails. As the name implies, it is a
day in which the Jewish people seek
absolution for their sins. 1t is neither
Jewish New Year. which was pass
ed a fortnight ago. nor Jewish
Christmas" which is not on their cal
endar. .Yom Kippnr" is an event as
old as the Jewish people and is dis
tinctly a Jewish institution.
