Brewer on Courts.

Associate Justice David j..
Brewer, of the United States Su-
preme Court. in an address at
the Clark College commencement
exercises, on June 10Th, declared
that he restraining power of the
court of equity. "should be EN-
larged and not diminished" and
that to restrict this power of the
court is a "step backward to-
wards barbarism."
1.-The injustice" said the JUS
tice ''has become political ques-
tion and a topic for heated de-
punciation. There never was a
time in the history of the nation
when the full restraining power
of the equity court was OF so
much Importance to the nation.
AS the population becomes
more and more dense and activ
tiles increase. the restraining
power of the equity court is worth
vastly more than the Furnishing
power of the criminal court.

do they in other judicial action.

RAILROAD RATES.

Higher freight rates are likely to
be fixed in the near future, the New
York Journal Of Commerce tells US.
The proposed raising of railroad rates
on July l, has perhaps, therefore, been
postponed until after election" to
help out the Republican party. When
the Railroad Rate Bill was passed, the
Republicans took all the glory that was
possible for that achievement. Presi.
dent Roosevelt in fact compromised
with those United States Senator con-
trolled by the railroads on the most
vital clause in the bill rather than the
bill should be passed by Democratic
aid. The bill was supposed by the
contiding public to bring about re-
duced railroad rates. Now we hear
nothing of rate reduction but q GER
tainty in the near future of an in
crease. Such is Republican reform.

TAFT AND THE PHILIPPINES.

There are probably but a small per
cent. of the voters of the United States
who ever think about the condition of
the people in the Philippines. They
are just forgotten in the daily sxac-
tons of our modern civilization. But
as we bought the Philippines and are
continuing to be responsible for their
welfare. we should know how they are
faring under our "beneticent assimila-
tion.n
As Secretary Taft. the Republican
candidate for President, has been the
virtual dictator of the policy of the
United States towards the Philippines,
the conditions there may take on po-
litical significance.
In recent issue, the Inter Island
Net0S, published at Fam boanga, P. l.,

estimation, his government Of the
Philippine Islands proves this beyond
all dispute, since it was one continuous
assault upon the rights of the people

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
INTERESTS

Whatever else Mr.. Roosevelt has
done, and his admluis STATION has done
much in the Interest the people. as
all candid and patriotic citizens will
admit, he has developed aud personally
emphasized one overshadowiug issue.
That issue is shall this government
De administered by and for the inter
ests, or shall it be administered by
and for the people.
Since 1892, up 10 and including the
present administration of Mr.. Roosevelt
the whole admini>. alton of Govern
ment has been 10 foster anu encourage
the private interests of certain well de-
hned private interests. which private
interests made vast and almost ineon-
eeivabls money out OF The hard earn
ings Of the plain people In other
words the system of administration of
the Government by the Republican
party has been such a. compelled the
pi>in people to pay vast sums of money
70 spSeial private interests. whereby
those private Interests have accumu-
lated fortunes 50 vast as to be almost
lneomprehensible-foTtunes more vast
than the fabled wealth Of Croesus.
These vast fortunes were then used by
TIE private interests 10 bny the votes OF
the people, thereby eorrupiing the elec-

should be returned, bui it has never
been returned. 81 least if 10 was nobody

CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS.

There is hardly a voter in the United
States, other than the Republican
politicians, who does not want to see
the trusts and railroads so controlled
that the price of the products Of the
trusts ami the charges OF the railroads
shall be reasonable.
Yet the Republican administration
and the Republican controlled Con-
gress have done absolutely nothing
that will decrease the cost of living.
There has been a bluff at trust busting
aud railroad or two has been prose
eutei for rebating, but can you name
railroad or trust that has reduced
its prices in consequence of Republican
legislation? This is the tariff aud
trust and railsoad issue of the coming
campaign. Promises for the future
and the glad hand to the voters ill

MAYOR OF BUFFALO.
When the Buffalo mayoralty

there was a movement for reform.
Mr.. Cleveland was approached
with the offer of the Democratic
nomination, but declined unless
he could be assured of ticket
satisfactory to the reform element.
He was nominated October % of
that year. The canvass was made
with the promise of improvement
in city finances and government.
He used in that canvass the ia
miliar slogan. Il am a Democrat"
His support came in part from the
Republican press, and the whole
ticket was elected. Mr.. Cleve-
lands majority was $500. the
largest up to that time. In his
address to the Common Council he
urged business administration of
the city government. His reform
promises were we'll kept and his

plainly understood that Mr.. Mudd was
