WHO rs THE INCENDIARY7


years. Even so late as ten years after the
Civil War journalistic differences were due in
the main to matters of political principle or
sxpediency.
The nations economic Development and es-
peeially the aggressions Of combined wealth,
have brought about a journalistic division
heretofore unknown. The line is drawn clear
" between the newspapers which champion
the rights Of the whole people and those which
sincerely, or for secret profit, advocate the
interests of the great aggregations Of capital
Conservatism is the chief boast of the
latter class. ''Radical,'' "intemperate,"
"undignifed, - revolutionary" and "incen-
diary are their favorte terms for the class
opposed
So today the conservatives are the news
papers which speak for Wall street and the
corporations in praise Of Aldrich, Cannon and
Cortelyou. The "incendiaries' are the ones
that represent President Roosevelt and his
progressive policies.
The ablest exponent Of this journalistic con-
servatism unquestionably is the New York
Sun. No other newspaper has rallied so con-
sistently and persistently against the intern
perate language and dangerous radicalism of
ROOSEVELT presumably DIS du SAdLuP1e OIL CSLu-
perancs, conservatism, dignity and patriotism
the Sun printed this editorial Tuesday morn
ing:
Roosevelt does not need regiments Of SOL
d1ers and machine guns to overthrow the
American government. He effects it with the
disciplined menials, whom he sent as dele
gates to the Chicago mockery.
''There was time in our history when, if
a man had attained the present political sta
ture of Roosevelt and had done it by honest
and reputable means, the people would have
been jealous and would have looked upon him
with suspicion and askance.
"What is there in store for people which
sees it's heritage violated and it's shrines pol
luted and is content9
SIS that people not likely to get its des-
erts7
"When the debauch begun today is COM
pleted, will not repining be vain?
''The Roosevelt trained swine, fattened at
the federal trough, are turned loose and the
vineyard Of our fathers is ravished and de-
fled'
Now, since that editorial was not the shrek
Of parlor Socialist nor the common yawp
Of successor to Herr Most let us examine,
with all the ealmness possible to one Of the
"incendiary" class, what dire deeds and the
cries have prompted those fearsome words.
The essence Of the Roosevelt policies is
equal opportunity. That was not thought
such q bad doctrine when the nation was

republican partys belief that federal courts
should be "nice''; or, if they can't be nice,
they should at least be discreet, in spanking
labor at the behest Of capital.
The plank that ought to have gone into the
platform would read like this:
"We oppose the growing practice Of the
federal courts to assume the police powers Of
the cities and states. We believe that the
use Of the writ of injunction in capital and
labor disputes should be prohibited by stat
ute.''
That would have been understood by the
common man. It would have meant some
thing more than a cowardly verbal false pre-
tense, got up to fool the workingman with
the necessary vote.
When Judge reaches outside Of his court
room into the street to punish citizen for ex-
pressing contempt for the courts rulings,
he strikes down the right of free speech and
shows good cause for being held in contempt.
The federal courts, under repeated stretch
ings of their power to punish for contempt,
have usurped in large part the enforcement
of police regulations as against striking work
ingmen employed by great corporations.
Doubtless these courts abuse their power in
other ways, but it is their abuse of their pow
er in this class Of cases that has made it a
national scandal, so that the president Of the
United States felt called upon publicly to re-
buke one Of the judges and the national con-
vention of the dominant party has felt called
upon to pretend to echo that rebuke
Federal judges have ordered bodies Of work
ingmen not to strike, under peril of being
held in "contempt Of COURT and punished
accordingly. They have ordered bodies Of
workingmen not to meet, even in their own
halls, to discuss a strike. They have in va
rous other ways trampled upon the funda-
mental rights of American citizens, until they
have come to be held in contempt, and even
hatred, by large number Of citizens of all
political parties.
This is as much to be deplored as anything
we'll could be, for it is essential to public
peace that the mass Of the people should have
faith in the fairness Of their courts of JUS
tice.
Of the twenty-five United States district
judges, twenty-one graduated to the bench
from the employ Of corporations. A major
ity Of the twenty-five were railroad lawyers
when they assumed the ermine.
It goes without saying that they are men Of
superior ability they would never have
the distinction in private practice that
made them eligible to appointment upon the
federal bench
Most Of them were appointed at the solici-
tation Of United States senators and power

FLAMES SWEPT

FIFE AT EAST BOSTON, MASS,
CAUSES A LOSS OF NEAR
LY $1,5oo,ooo.
PIERS, WAREHOUSES, CARS
And Grain Elevator Were Con-
sumed, While Several Ships Mar
rowIy Escaped Destruction
Two Lives Probably Lost.

Boston, Mass.-A fire, believed to
have been caused by spontaneous
combustion or locomotive spark.
swept nearly quarter of a mile of
the harbor front of East Boston late
Wednesday, causing a property loss
estimated at nearly $1,500,000 Much
of the loss falls upon the Boston &
Albany Railroad Co. Two persons
are reported missing and it is thought
that both perished in the flames. One
of them was Daniel Sullivan, watch
man at the Cunard line pier, and the
other was Miss Sadie Arnold, a clerk
employed by the Cunard Steamship
Co.
The fire was the biggest and most
destructive that has broken out along
the harbor front for many years. The
f1ames spread with remarkable rapid
ity and by the time the first fire fight
ing apparatus arrived on the scene
they were beyond control and leaping
from pier to pier.
Within half an hour of the time
the fire was discovered, four piers,
three warehouses, a grain elevator
containing 10000 bushels of grain and
many loaded freight cars had been
destroyed.
Several vessels and lighters mar
rowly escaped destruction. The big
Leyland line steamer Devonian was
moored at one of the piers which was
destroyed. The discipline on the De-
vonian was so excellent, however,
that she was warped out into the
stream without even having a square
inch of paint blistered. Less fortu-
nate We're the British bark Belmont
of Yarmouth, n. S., and the schooners
Paul Palmer, a five-masted craft, and
the o. II. Brown, a four-master.
The Belmont was moored by steel
cables to the pier where the fire
started. So quickly did the flames en-
velop the wharf and warehouse that
it was impossible to slip the cables
from the mooring posts, and it was
necessary to resort to the tedious
process of cutting a half dozen or
more of the great wire ropes. By the
time the Belmont was gotten out into
the stream the paint had been burned
off her steel hull, her cabins had been
practically destroyed, her lifeboats
charred and ruined and her spars,
sails and rigging so badly burned as
to make a complete new equipment
necessary.

WITH NOISE AND FIREWORKS
Cincinnati Will Celebrate on the Day
that Taft Is Officially Notified
of His Nomination.

Cincinnati, o. AT a meeting on
Friday of the committee in charge of
the reception that will be extended
to William H. Taft on July 2S when
he is formally advised of his nomina-
tion for the presidency, the following
program was agreed upon:
At O'Clock in the morning of July
2S there will be salutes of 20 guns or
more, fired from the hilltops. At s
O'Clock bands in the parks, squares
and at prominent corners will begin
to make melody, and they will keep at
it all day. At 10 o'clock a flag will
be presented by the city of Cincinnati
to Charles p. Taft, brother of the
nominee, to be unfurled over the Taft
residence on Pike street when the
nominee is in Cincinnati. This pre-
sentation will be made at Taft home.
At II o'clock the notification COM
mittee will be escorted to the Taft
residence and on a temporary plat
form Mr.. Taft will hear the formal
word that he is the Republican par
tvs choice for president. There will
be but two speeches, that of Senator
Warner of Missouri, giving notifica-
ton to Mr.. Taft, and that of accept
ance by the nominee.
At 1870 p. m. marching clubs will
pass in review and then a public re-
ception will be held. This will be
followed by a luncheon to the notif-
cation committee given by Charles P.
Taft. After luncheon the visiting
committee will be taken in automo-
biles over the city.
At 5 o'clock several thousand bal
looms will be sent up and at o'clock
there will be an immense display of
fireworks from the river bridges and
craft in the harbor. The public land
ing will be roped off for the populace,
while Mr.. and Mrs. Taft and the noti-
fication committee will view the fire.

City Planning In America.

We are prone to speak of city plan
ming as if it were something new, and
in way something particularly
American. 1t is true 1t has reached
wider vogue in shorter time in this
country than in any other, but as far
back as 1866 Sir Christopher Wren
prepared a plan for the city of Lon
don after the great fire. 1t was never
carried out, although some of his rec
concentrations are now being executed
modern county council. In our own
country, L'Enfant, over century ago,
prepared plan not only for our capi-
tai city, but also for Buffalo, both of
which have been adhered to in the
main points. Detroit followed Len
fants ideas, although he did not pre-.
pare the plans. These cities represent
deliberate, comprehensive planning
from the beginning. Like Dalny in far.
away Siberia they were developed
along previously determined lines; but
such instances are possible only in
new countries, and are exceptional
even there. The Chicago, Cleveland,
New York and San Francisco plans
represent an entirely different phase
of deliberate and comprehensive plan.
ming. They are more like the king
made cities of st. Petersburg and
Madrid, or the more recent emperor
made Paris. They grew up along lines
of least resistance, writes Clinton r.
Woodruff in the Atlantic, and in obedi.
ence to immediate needs with practi.
cally little thought of the future and
none of the aesthetic side. Then came

sciousness and pride, leading to a dis.
satisfaction with existing conditions,

Taft is lovable and popular and

Taft is broad, progressive and safe.
The legislation urged by the president.

him. Il do not believe there could be
found in all the country a man so well
fitted to be president. He would
be as emphatically a president of the
plain people as Lincoln, yet not Lin

least taint of demagogy, the least tend
ency to arouse or appeal to class

SMALL GAINS ARE NOTED.
Each Week Brings Increased Manu-
featuring Activity.

New York City.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Further small net gains are record
ed in commercial progress, favorable
reports predominating, although the
tendency is by no means definite. In
many lines of trade the dullness of
midsummer is unusually intense, but
each week brings increased manufac-
turing activity and instances are not
ed of orders for fall goods placed too
late for delivery at specified dates.
More business is coming to the iron
furnaces and steel mills, although or
ders are usually for small quantities,
but good sign is the increase of
specifications on old contracts. This
extends even to billets, which have
been notably quiet for several
months. Sales of steel bars during
June attained surprising dimensions.
Structural shapes move more free
ly, several large undertakings and
numerous small bridges or buildings
calling for Substantial tonnage.
Textile mills are still curtailing out
put, especially in New England, but
gradual improvement is noted in
some departments.
