Senator Lee S. Overman was q visitor
to Raleigh yesterday, leaving in the
afternoon for Pittsboro, where he de-
livers a political speech today. Thurs
day he will make an addres at the eel
ebration of Moere's Greek battle-ground
Association on the Revolutionary bat
tlefeld near Wilmington.
Their could be No more glowing opti-
mism show than that hillumined
an interview with enator Overman on
National politics. He is cenfidentthat
Mr.. Bryan will be elected and indicates
the signs of the times which foretell it.
He said:
Il have been very much encouraged
by reports and by what I heard and
saw at Denver and on my return from
Denver. 1 made it a point to ask
every railroad man, conductor, eng1n-
eer, brakeman, fagman, supervisor Of
tracks, and men in overalls, and with
out exception from Denver to Kansas
City and ST. Louis they said they were
going to vote for Bryan. Most of them
said that they were Republicans and
would have voted for Roosevelt had
he been nominated, but that they could
not stand Taft and would not let Roose-
welt dictate a. to how they should
vote. They seemed to know all about
Taft's Injunction record, and believed
that the Democratic candidate was the
peoples candidate. They were de-
termined hat Bryan should DO elected
and the people of the West believe that
he will be the next President Of the
United States. 1 think the Republi-
cans cannot buy up the voters out
there, and I am neither a prophet MOI
the son OF a prophet, but the signs o;
the times point to the election of Mr.,
Bryan.
II would net be surprised to see q
stampede for Bryan as there was when
Cleveland was elected the second time
The cry that the Republicans bring
prosperity and the Democrats hard
times is untrue: the people have beer
deceived, but now their eyes have beer
opened and they are beginning tC
think. The record OF the Republican
is hat they have grow up great mon
opolies and trusts and our unbound
monetary system. For fifteen years
the voters of the country have been
dsbauchsd with money shelled out by
favored corporations.
'Another significant fact is that the
Republicans have dropped their shib-
beleth n war cry for the past ten
years, a term borrowed from a gam.
bling hell, stand pat, INC now say IN
their platform that they propose to re-
wise the tariff. Heretofore they have
said that the tariff needed no revision.
The people are afraid to trust them on
that score, not knowing whether they
would revise itupwards or downwards.
They can't feol all the people all the

DUAL CONTROL IMPossIBLE
Nation, Not State. Can Act Wisely
and Effectively.


The decisions of the supreme court
In the Minnesota and North Carolina
cases illustrate how impossible is a
dual control Of national commerce.
The states can not control it. al
they can do is to control intrastate
commrce, and this now forms butSa
small fraction Of the commerce car
ried by the railroads through each
state. Actual experience has shown
that the effort at state control is sure
to be nullified in one way or another
sooner or later. The nation alone can
act with effectiveness and wisdom; il
should have the control both of the
business and Of the agent by which
the business is done: for any attempt
to separate this control must result In
grotesque absurdity.
This means that we must rely upon
national Legislation to prevent the
commercial abuses that now exist and
the others that are sure to arise ul-
less some efficient governmental body
has adequate power of control over
them. At present the failure of the
congress to utilize and exercise. the
great powers conferred upon it as re-
CARDS interstate commerce leaves this
commerce to be regulated. not by the
state nor yet by the congress. but by
the occasional and necessarily made
quate and one-sided action of the fed
eral judiciary.
However upright and able court
1t is can not act constructively; it can
only act negatively or destructively, O.
an agency of government; and this
means that the courts are and must
always be unable to deal effectivel
with a problem like the present, whic..
requires constructive action. A court
can decide what is faulty, but It has
| no power to make better what it thus
finds to be faulty. There should be
an efficient executive body created with
power enough to correct abuses and
| scope enough to work out the complex
problems that this great country has
developed. 1t is not sufficient objcc-
ton to say that such body may be
guilty OF unwisdom or of abuses. ANY
governmental body, whether court OF
. a commission; whether executive, leg
is'ative or judicial; if given power
enough TO enable it to do effective
work for good must also inevitably re-
ceive enough power to make 1t pos
sibly effective for evil.
Therefore it is clear that (uniess a
national incorporation law can bs
forthwith enacteD some body or bodies
in the executive service should be Civ
en- power to pass upon any combina
ton or agreement in relation to in
terstate commerce, and every sucf
combination or agreement not thus ap
proved should be treated as in viola
ton of law and prosecuted according
~. The issuance Of the securities OF
any combination doing interstate bust
ness should be under supervision OF
the national government.

AS TO LABOR IMMUNITY

President Givea His Views ON That
Important Subject.
A strong effort has been made to
have labor organizations completely
exempted from any OF the operations
Of this law, whether or not their act
are In restraint Of trade. Such excep-
ton would in all probability make tn !
bill Unconstitutional. and the legisla.
ture has no more right to pass bill
without regard to whether It is consti.
tutional than the courts have lightly
to declare unconstitutional a law
which the legislature has solcmnly en-
acted. The responsibility, is as great
on the one side as on the other, and
an abuse OF power by the legislature
In one direction Is equally to be con-
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-04-28

demned with an abuse ~ power by the
courts in the other direction.
1t is not possible wholly to excep.
labor organizations from the workings
of this law, and they who insist upon
totally excepting them are merely pro-
yiding that their status shall be kept
wholly unchanged, and that they shall
continue to be exposed 10 the action
which they now dread. Obviously an
organization not formed for profit
should not be required to furnish
statistics in any way as complete as
those furnished by organizations for
profit. Moreover. so far as labor ia
engaged in production only its claims lc
be exempted from the antitrust law
are sound. This would substantially
cover the right of laborers to COM
bine, to strike peaceably, and TO en;er
into trade agreements with the EN-
ployers.
But when labor undertakes in a
wrongful manner to prevent the dis
trtbution and sale of the products OF
labor, as by certain forms of the boy
colt, 1t has left the field of production,
and its action may plainly be in
restraint of trade, and must Eecessari-
ly be subject to inquiry exactly as in
the case OF any other combination for
the same purpose so as. to determine
whether such action is contrary to
sound public policy. The heartiest en-
enlargement should be given to the
wage workers to form labor unions
and to enter into agreements with
their employers: and their rights tn
strike. SO long as they act peaceably.
| must be preserved But we should
sanction neither boycott nor b ack-
list which would be Illegal at common
| law
The measures advocate are in the
| interest both of decent corporations
and of lawabiding labor unions. They
are, moreover, pre-eminently In the in.
| terest of the public, for in my judy
ment the American people have deti
nitely made MP their minds that the
days of the reign OF the great lawde
flying and law-evading corporations
are over, and that from this time or
| the mighty organizations of capita
necessary for the transaction of bust
ness under modern conditions, Will;

interest Of the public. Some body.
whether commission, or bureau un-
der the department OF commerce and
labor, should be given this power.
Ny personal belief is that ultimate
~ we shall have to adopt national
incorporation law. though I am well
aware that this may be Impossible at
present. Over the actions of the
executive body in which the power Is
placed the courts should possess mere
ly power Of review analogous to
that obtaining in connection with the
work of the interstate commerce COM
mission at present. To confer this
power would not be leap in the dark:
it would merely be to carry still fur
Their the theory Of effective govern
mental control Of corporations which
was responsible for the creation OF
the interstate commerce commission
and for the enlargement OF its powers:
and for the creation of the bureau Of
corporations.
The interstate commerce legislation
has worked admirably. 1t has bene.
fitted the public; 1t has benefited hon
|estly-managed and wisely-eonducted
railroads; and In spite Of the fact that
the business OF the country has enor.
mously increased the value of this fed
eral legislation has been shown by
the way in which Ii has enabled the
federal government to correct the
most pronounced of the great AMI
varied abuses which existed In thu.
business world twenty years ago.
while the many abuses that still re-
main emphasize the need of further
ana more thoroughgOing legislation.
Similarly the bureau of corporations
has amply justified its creation.
In other words, it is clear that the
principles employed to remedy tine
great evils in the business world have
worked well. and they can now be EN-
lployed to correct the evils that further
commercial growth has brought more
prominently to the surface. The pow
ers and scope of the interstate COM
merce commission. and of any similar
bodyTsuch as the bureau of corpora.
tions-which has to deal with the mat.
ter in hand. should be greatly enlarged,
SO as to meet the requirements of the
present day.

One Fight Enough.

Attorney General Clark has rendered
some good advice to the republicans Of
South Dakota. In brief his suggestion
is that the factional fighting be confined
and congressional cand idates are to be
nominated, and that both factions unite
in sending to the April convention dele
gates who shall select harmonious Taft
delegation to the national convention.
Why not2 The so called "stalwarts',
are for Taft. The so called "insurgents"
are for Taft. The two factions are en-
gagged in bitter fight for the Offices

torate. Why not confine the fighting to
the campaign in which there is casus
belli? The present program seems to
be that there shall be fight between

would like to control the April conven.

might have upon the ensuing fight in
June. That is an objecs, to be sure, but
is the game worth the candle? Each
side is taking an unnecessary risk. The

our subscribers TO an important change
in the rules and regulations of the post.
Office department governing and defin.
ing what constitutes paper mailing
list. The portion Of greatest interest to
the publisher of weekly newspaper as
it affects his relation to his subscribers
lies in the fact that after April !, 1908,
the law requires that names of all sub
scribers who are year or more in ar.
rears must be promptly dropped from
the subscription list, SS papers to such
subscribers will not be accepted at the
postotfice as second class matter, but
will require one cent stamp. The rul-
ing was to have been put into effect on
January LIST, but the authorities not
wishing the measure to result in ma
terial inconvenience to the parties in
terested, decided to extend the time
three months to allow delinquents to
settle their accounts.
1t is a ruling of the postoffice depart
ment that must be complied with, and
we must therefore perforce remove from
our lists the names of all persons who
on April lst are indebted to us for a
years subscription or over. But short
time remains, and we trust that all de-
linquents will remit before the ruling
goes into effect.
