FOR COURTS
Justice Brewer Thinks Power
Should Be Enlarged.
DEFENDS INJUNCTION RIGHT
Declares Question Has Become PO-
HticaI and Subject for Heated
Right 10 the Staying of EpidemicS
Rather Than Curing of Disease.

Worcester, Mass. June 1S.-Without re-
ferring directly to the Republican na-
uonaI convention. Associate Justice David
J. Brewer Of the United States Supreme
Court. to-day vigorously defended the
courts and the injunction power in the
course Of an address az the commence
ment exercises Of Clark College.
The injunction, said Justice Brewer.
has become a political question and a
topic for heated. denunciation. There
never was a time in the history OF the
nation when the full restraining power
Of the equity court was of so much i'm
portance TO the nation. As the p0pula-
ton becomes more and more dense and
activities increase, the restraining power
Of the equity court is worth vastly more
than the punishing power Of the criminal
court
1T is in line with the highest thought
OF the day. We aim 70 stay the epidemic
and not TO cure the ravages Of the dis
ease after It has gained headway. We
strive TO stamp out vice in the slums,
not by driving out the residents, but by
letting in light and air and the comforts
OF civilization. To restrict the restrain
ing power OF the court is a step back
ward toward barbarism. instead of a step
forward 10 higher civilization.
Courts make mistakes in the granting
OF injunctions; SO do they in other judicial
action. 7 know that labor organizations
are especially energetic in claiming that
the power Of the injunction is used main
~ against them OF course this is not
true. injunctions are granted against all
sorts Of persons and organizations every
day in the year.
Mistakes Are Made.
Look at the acts OF violence and strife
which have been checked or prevented by
this restraining power. II does not follow
that the power ought 10 be used against
capital or corporations. and not against
labor
The restraining power Of the court Of
equity should be enlarged. and not dimin-
ished and the judiciary improved, until
all people Will be assured that the power
is only used when necessity requires, and
restraint imposed only when justice de-
mands."

FORAKER ACCEPTS RESULTS
Senator Says He Will Do What he
Can TO Aid Taft.
Secretary Wilson and Postmaster
General Meyer Give High Praise
to the Candidate.

Associates OF Mr.. Taft in President
Roosevelt's Cabinet gave out statements
for publication expressing their pleasure
at his nomination and their view OF It's
significance. Senator Foraker also made
a statement, declaring allegiance and
promising. to do all he can to elect the
nominee.
Mr. Foraker said;
Until the convention made nomina-
tion every Republican had a right to have
his choice. but now il is no longer a
question of men, but a question of par
ties. In this way Secretary Taft becomes
my candidate for the Presidency. and
while under all the circumstances I can
probably do but little. yet I shall do all
I can to help elect him. Republicans will
now quit contending among themselves
and turn all their guns on the common
enemy"
Secretary OF Agriculture Wilson said:
Secretary Taft is one Of the ablest
men 1 have ever known. and is peculiar
ly well equipped for the Presidency. If
the people knew him as well as do. he
would sweep the country and poll an IN
preCedented vote l believe he will be
elected and make an ideal President
The Republican party has again honored
itself.
Secretary Taft viii undoubtedly carry
out any portion Of the Presidents pol
icies that may be uncompleted when Mr..
Roosevelt retlres"
Postmaster General Meyer said:
BY the selection Of Mr.. Taft the Re-
publican party has nominated the man
best equipped in this country to carry
out its pledges as laid down in the plat
form adopted at Chicago. and to continue
the policies inaugurated by our Presi-
dent Few men, il any, have entered a
campaign with the experience he has had
10 public life. His integrity, his legal
training his administrative qualities and
his abilities as an organizer make him an
ideal candidate at this time for the best
interests Of the country"

Chicago. June 1S-The surface indica-
tions tonight are that Representative
James Schoolcraft Sherman, of New
York, will be nominated for Vice Presi-
dent by the Republican convention to-
morrow. but the outcome is by no means
certain. for definite word has not come
from Washington, and it is generally
agreed that the President and Mr. Taft
Will have a very decided influence In
determining who shall have second place
on the ticket
A conference is being held in Frank
Hitchcock's rooms in the Auditorium An
mex. 1t is attended by nearly all the
Taft leaders. including Charles P. Taft,
Arthur I. Vorys. and Theodore z. Bur
ton. Mr.. Hitchcock has been in com
munication this evening with Secretary
Taft over the long distance wire. and
whatever views the Presidential nominee
expressed on the choice Of his running
mate will have a large influence in de-
termlning the attitude of the Taft forces
here.
Protest Against DOIIiver.
There is a strong movement for the
nomination Of Senator Jonathan p. Dolli-
yer. but it is expected that this viii re-
ceive decided setback when it becomes
known that twenty out Of the twenty-six
members Of the Iowa delegation sent this
telegram tonight 10 President Roosevelt:
THE following members Of the Iowa
delegation authorize me 70 protest in the
strongest terms against the selection OF
Dolliver as Vice President"
This was signed 10y George y. Perkins.
OF Sioux City. and nineteen others The
Cummins men in the Iowa delegation are
using this telegram 20 help along the
boouTof their favorite. but il is declared
by other men from that State that II
Gov. Cummins Is placed on the ticket with
Taft, Iowa may go Democratic.
Fairbanks Boom Waivers.
The Fairbanks boom. so often revived
and so often knocked out. is lowering be-
tween earth and sky. \ decided split has
occurred In the Indiana delegation on the
question OF supporting Mr.. Fairbanks for
the Vice Presidency Fourteen Of the
thirty members in that delegation have
declared that they do not want 10 see Mr.
Fairbanks nominated again. and among
other members of the delegation there is
a feeling that the letter which the VicC
President wrote 20 Joseph Healing. OF
Indianapolis, and which was made public
here. places him definitely out of the race
Since the New York delegation declared
unanimously for Sherman tonight. the
trend OF sentiment toward Sherman
among delegates from other States has
become very pronounced.
The Vice Presidential nomination was
considered at a conference held at the
White House last night President Roose-
Welt Secretary Taft. and Secretary Root
participated.
Nothing was given out in formal way
on the subject. and Secretary Taft par
ried all questions relating 20 il as he left
the White House to go home He said
that the situation at Chicago concerning
the Vice Presidency seemed to be chaotic.
according TO the advices he had received
since the convention adjourned.

Just now there is q deficit In the

tr0ller, Of about 100000.
The big corporation known as Swift
& Company makes an official statement
that 1t has over $10O,O00y000 In re-

last year ut $3,O0O.OO0, reports that 1t
has over 800 600. 900 in quick assets on
hand this, year. Read Its annual re.
port and draw your own conclusions.
The tax rate is seven per cent on
one.fifth Of the actual cash value.
This would make Swift & Company
legally liable to tax Of $1,400,0O0 q
year. This would help out the other
taxpayers some, II 1t was paid.
But the kind assessors only value
