decision Of Judge Landis' hning the

piled to the criticism Of his court yes

In the first place." he said, 1t
was not the Standard OIL company in.
c%orporated under the laws Of New
Jersey that was on trial. but the
Standard OIL company Of Indiana, an
offspring undoubtedly. but q much
weaker organization.
But when 1t came to pass judg-
ment, it was because officers Of the
parent company that the Indiana on
spring vas found guilty and it was on
the property and revenues Of the
parent company that the fine Of the
offspring was made. II 1t was the
desire and purpose Of the court to
punish the Standard Oil; company OF
New Jersey, that company should
have been indicted, either Jointly or
separately and brought into court.
every corporation has exactly the
same rights IS an individual, no
more, no less. The parent company
is. Of course. more or less RESPONSE
bile for the acts Of the Indiana COM
pany. The people will sooner or lat
81 realize that the courts are not
swayed by any other than law and
precedent. What anyone may say in
regard to the decision of a court
counts for no more than his opinion.

FAILURE MUsTBE PAID Nv THEM
IN ANY EVENT, TAFT SAYS.
THEY ARE THE LOSERS
Plan Was Tried in New York, and
Failed, Because Fund Not SUFFICIENT
to Meet Requirements-Men Who
Visited Judge TAFT at Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Va. Aug. 26.-'It puts
a premium on reckless banking and
is an inducement to reckless banking"
Thus did MI. Taft make reply to 8
declaration in the speech Of w. j.
Bryan with reference to the proposed
plan to guarantee deposits in national
banks.
THAT is the fundamental objec-
tion." he said. Relieved Of the re.
sponsibility and the fear OF his de-
p~ositors. the tendency would be to in
duce exploitation, manipulation and
$ the assets Of the banks in a spec
ulative way. It would promote spec
ulation in the risK Of his fellow
bankers and that ultimately means at
the risk Of the depositors, as the
danger OF loss Of deposits is increased
vastly by the proposed system, so
that the percentage of the tax would
have to be vastly proposed.
mi. Bryan did favor q guaranty,
the government to raise the funds by
taxing the banks, but the Democratic
platform provides for an enforced In
surance, which oompells all national
banks to contribute to the insurance
funds to meet the defaults Of the
spectators. I am told that such a
law was in force In New York and that
the result raj that when the tax,
having been improperly calculated,
there was not sufacient funds to pay
the loss, but this I have only on the
authority Of q well-known writer on
the subject"
There was some discussion mere to-
day Of the position alleged to have
been taken by Senator Hopkins Of
Illinois. that the policies and prin-
ciples 20 far as they are not CON
tanned In the party's platform are not
so binding on the party. Judge TAFT
declined TO make the matter q con-

which there Is . difference of opin-
ion. All who think they do rule to-

they do not rule will diher from Mr..
Taft. Mr.. Sherman said that the peo-
pie do rule. He ought to know bet
ter, for he has been n Of the fell

In the house OF Representatives. He
has been n of the men responsible

Mr.. Bryan then discussed the pub

contained IN the Democratic platform,
saying that the contributions from the
great favor seeking corporations have
been used to put into power people
who. when in power. were obligated
and mortgaged to the men who help

destroys the opportunity Of the people
