Injunction Issue Paramount.
At the Parkersburg convention which
named the delegates at large to Chicago
there was an unsuccessful effort to in
sert a very strong anti-injunction clause.
Some results were achieved later by its
advocates in the resolutions. Viewed at
this time the injunction issue is to be
paramount in national discussions from
the West Virginia rostrum. and repub-
licans accept the issue with full conf
dence in their ability to remove the i'm
pressions now held in certain quarters.
No serious detection of the colored
convention resolutions demand the rein
statement of the Brownsville troops on
certain conditions. Colored republicans in
Wheeling and one or two other towns
recently approved the course of Scott,
Foraker and other senators who made q
fight on that proposition. There Is moth
ing to indicate that any considerable
fraction of the colored vote will be di-
verted from Taft.

Henry Clay Getzendanner of Jefferson
county. a republican leader in that sec
ton. The only tangible result was the
announcement that Getzendanner made
the mistake of not addressing his COM
municatton to Attorney General Bona
parte. A Dayton injunction few months
ago figured in the United States Senate
discussions on the initiative of Senator
Cuiberson. the minority leader. From
all of which 1t will be seen how the Day
ton decisions have developed in forming
sentiment not overly cordial to Taft's
injunction record among West Nirgintans.
Furthermore. the anti-injunctiOn plank
adopted this week at Chicago is said in
West Virginia to follow closely the model
of an injunction bill offered in the house
by Representative w. p. Hubbard of
Wheeling. furnishing another basis of in

magic OF his candidacy would draw
crowds beyond the size of those attracted
to him four years ago as a cabinet officer
speaking for his chief in the White
House.
The anti-injunction sentiment. keener
perhaps in West Virginia than in any
other state in the Union, reacts at this
time on Taft's shoulders, not so much
by reason of the writ he issued in the
railroaders' strike in Cincinnati as by
the fact that the late Judge John ]. Jack
son was particularly severe in the many
processes he issued. and to the further
fact that Jackson's successor, Judge Day
ton. some months ago handed down the
most drastic injunction ever recorded in
West Virginia.
Thus the feeling created by Jackson
and intensified by Dayton has served to
put Taft in an unfavorable light with the
organized workingmen of West Virginia.
So long as Jackson was on the bench the
republicans advanced the argument that
Jackson was q democrat, and ii was often
said that Jackson held on to his position
years after he was eligible to retirement
in the hope of the election Of a democratic
President who could name a successor of
that faith. Representative A. G. Dayton's
appointment by Roosevelt developed a re-
publican federal judge who soon evil
denced a policy of stringency exceeding
the Jackson code.

Wash" Sales of Stock.

Defenders of Wall street contend that it
is place of actual. legitimate trade, a
market for the buying and selling of stocks,
and that the speculation which proceeds
there is only an incident of real exchange
of commodities for cash. This proposition
is not generally accepted. The public is
not ready to believe that the majority of
the patrons of Wall street are genuine
investors. yet it admits the difficulty OF
maintaining so vast an institution upon
the basis of strictly legitimate traffic.
Credit" is an extensive term, and even
in ordinary mercantile operations it serves
the purpose of the speculator.
The managers of the stock exchange in
New York are fully aware of the need of
preventing the public, as far as possible,
from suspecting the good faith of those
who operate there They realize that just
at present strong sentiment prevails
against the institution as a type of the
unrestrained capitalism of the past few
years and that such sentiment may at

Mr.. Roosevelt and the Future.

In the current number of the American
Magazine appears an article on Mr..
Roosevelt by writer who recently en-
joyed a personal interview with the Pres
ident and from 1t this paragraph is taken:
Il have never seen him in more human
mood; nor have 1 ever been more i'm
pressed with his bigness and breadth
Once when he said We'll. I'm through
suggested that the people might not be
through with him; that four years hence
they might be clamoring for him more
mistakenly than they are today.
No he said. with curious finality

before heard him strike, revolutions

ing up. 1 see them. People are going to
discuss economic questions more and
more-the tariff. currency. banks. They
interested i'm them: my problems are
moral problems. and my teaching has
been plain morality
There are many admirers of Mr.
Roosevelt who take this view of the flu
ture. They are certain he is only going
on a vacation. If Judge Taft is elected
he will prove but chair-warmer for his
friend. and four years hence will give
place to him, while If Mr.. Bryan is elect
ed the country will gladly call back the
man accused of appropriating Mr. Bry-
ans policies. They can see nothing but
Roosevelt for 1912 and for some time
after that
Their hero in this interview shows
himself wiser than they. He reads the
future pretty clearly as respects himself
He has had his fling. The new questions
that are coming up are not only not to
his taste. but not within the line of his
talents He ia of
He knows little about business. He
could not speak convincingly on the sub
jects he mentions. 1t may be fortunate
for his fame that the tariff is not to be
revised while he is in Office. He would
be as helpless as Mr.. Cleveland was to
guide the boat in that channel, and might
make as sad an ending as Mr. Cleye-
land did
Only one thing would be likely to re-
vive Mr.. Roosevelt's prestige, and that
thing is probably as little desired by him
as desirable for the country. In case of
war with foreign power he would be
certain to respond for duty and to do
his duty. His name would be an inspira-
ton to all the young men, He be-
longs to the fighting class, and when it
comes to war believes in thorough work
His views about the brief scrap with
Spain were sound, and he helped materi-
ally while in the Navy Department to
get us ready. He probably has not the
making of a great general in him. but
his exhaustless energy. his will power
and his patriotism. coupled with his great
reputation, would make him an important
asset in a general call to arms.
Mr.. Roosevelt's mote of sadness is
easily understood. He is nearing the fifty
mark, in such health and strength as
seem to guarantee at least thirty more
active years. And he is on the eve Of
descending from the most influential Of
flee in the world. Who in like circum-
stances would not be sad?

Don't Throw Rice; Eat It.
From the Baltimore Sui

A halt is being called upon the custom
of throwing rice at departing brides and
bridegrooms. Pullman car conductors are
complaining of the trouble 1t gives them.
A learned divine reminds us that Adam
and Eve had no rice thrown at them on
their honeymoon, and physician de-
nounces rice-throwing as dangerous to life.
Very recently a bridegroom received a
handful Of rice in his ear, with the result
that he had to spend his honeymoon in a
hospital and undergo a serious and dan
gerous surgical operation. Old shoes are
also dangerous missiles. and in the hands
of an envious and revengeful rival they
may easily prove mortal to the happy man
or woman. In fact, it is not clear that
rice and shoe throwing is kind or elegant
proceeding.

No Eilibustering!

An insistent report is in circulation that
tine opening of fire upon Venezuela by
Holland will be the signal for revolution
the like of. which has not been known in
that country for many decades. 1t is con-
fidently asserted that the United States
has tacitly agreed to hold hands off in
this situation and that the revolutionists
will find ample financial backing in this
country and the valuable aid of know1-
edge of the Dutch military plans. In
short. the intimation is plain that this
proposed movement to overthrow Castro
will have the moral SUPPORT of both the
powers which are at present diplomatic
ally unrepresented in Venezuela.
1t is not to be believed that the United
States government is i'll any manner OFF,
cially cOgnizant of revolutionary plans in
Venezuela which il is encouraging by
even its silence. This country has far
more at stake in the southern continent
than its interests in Venezuela. It's pres
tige as the uphOlder of the Monroe doc
trlne is always in issue. 1t cannot afford
even for the sake of so desirable an OBJ
ject as the elimination of the dictator
Castro from the political situation to give
any of it's critics the least ground for
suspicion as 10 its good faith. II it re-

dress of grievances. 1t should carry it's
demand for settlement to the limit of
diplomacy, and then, falling of satisfac-
ton. TO the point of direct warfare.
But the United States cannot with safety
wink at a revolution, financed within
its borders and conducted under semi
official auspices 1t is just u bit humiiiat-

eminent to allow Holland to perform an

the much greater number of railroad
accidents and of persons injured and
killed in them in America than in Great

some respects more diScreditable con-

there is a yearly average of only SO fires
to each 100000 inhabitants while in
the cities of the United States there
are no fewer than 4O5 to the

cities the average yearly loss from fires
is only 81 cents for each inbabitant, while

Mr.. Bryan on Trusts.

Mr.. Bryan's trust proposition ex-
planned by him at Indianapolis is this:
% the antitrust law as it stands has
never been properly executed, and Co it
needs amendment
If Mr.. Bryan is elected he will find it
difficult. If not impossible, to secure from
q republican Senate the antitrust 1egis-
lation he outlines. Judge Taft pronounces
against II unequivOcally. and his is his
partys view of the question. And the
republicans will continue in control of
the Senate for at least four years. The
democratic recourse. therefore, must be
upon the Department of Justice for such
an execution of the present law as Mr..
Bryan asserts the country needs and
should have. had from the republicans
lie wants some big trust maGnate guilty
Of viola ton of law put i'm stripes.
This lends point TO the inquiry as to
the attorney generalship under Bryan
administration. The man for the place
should be a very able lawyer TO succeed
where very able lawyers have failed
John W. Griggs ranked we'll in his pro-
fession. and as Attorney General tried his
hand at the antitrust law, but did not
put any trust magnate behind the bars.
Philander c. Knox made a good deal of
reputation Attorney General in ham
ding the antitrust law. His achieve
ments In that line secured for him the
office he now holds and caused Pennsyl-
vania to support him for the presidential
nomination at Chicago. But he did not
succeed in doing what Mr.. Bryan says
should have been done.
Charles j. Bonaparte, a lawyer of dis
tinction. has been busy man in the De-
partment of Justice, as the trusts can
testify. But he has not been able to Jail
any of the men who have been manipu-
lating trusts. He falls that far short of
coming up to the Bryan standard.
Who is the man able to do what these
high-grade lawyers in the democratic
party. Mr.. Culberson is one, although he
might prefer the Senate to the cabinet
MIR. Rayner is another. But he. too likes
his present Office and might not care to
retire to accept a cabinet appointment
Mr.. Harmon of Ohio has once filled the
Office of Attorney General, and even IL
elected Governor of Ohio might be in
duced to accept 1t again. Could he sue
coed in doing under Mr.. Bryan what he
failed to do under Mr. Cleveland? Are
trust magnates ripper for prison now than
they were twelve or fifteen years ago?
The chief interest in Mr.. Bryan's In
dianapolis speech relates to his filling of
the Office of Attorney General in case of
his success in November. For that off,
ciai should be the busiest member of the
cabinet.
