WEDNESDAY EVENING. July %, 1908.

Why don't the farmers of the South
raise their own bOrses and mules, in
stesd of paying $50, 100000 or more
annually to other states for them2 The
Department of Agriculture sets forth IN
a circular recently issued some reasons
why every southern farmer should breed
his own farm animals. In the fist
place, the report says that it certainly
seems anomalous ID contemplate vast
section of the county spending millions
annually for horses and mules, for oeet
and pork, and for commercial fertilizers,
and selling hundreds of millions OF
dollars worth Of fertility, such as cot
Ton seed meal and cake, when it Is real
lied that the condition of soil and Gil
mate generally through the South are
excellent for animal production. 1t Is
also more strange that a southern farm
er will buy hay shipped from the west
at from $15 per $25 per ton, when his
own land will often yield more hay per
acre, and of as good quality. The idea
is not only that the south should supply
its own demand for animals, but that
southern farmers should feed as far IS
possible the enormous amount OF cotton
seed meal aud cake which is now ship
ped out, and keep up fertility with
barnyard manure. No southern state
has more than one halt of the number
of horses and mules actually needed, 1t
is stated, and prices for horses and mules
have never before been as high as at
present.

TOday's Telegraphic Ne VS.
Judge Lands Reversed.

Chicago, July % The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals today, Judge
Grosscup, Baker and Seaman sitting,
reversed the decision of Federal Judge
Lands fining the Standard Oil Com
psny $29, 240, 900 and rsmanded the case
back to the lower court for reheariDg.
The suit was against the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, and the de
cision cont aiming q scsthing arraigu-
ment Of Judge Lands for imposing a
fine on corporation that was not In
dicted aud was not even represen ted in
the trial.
The court in passing upon the case,
among other things said:
"Passing over the fact that no word OF
evidence or other information support
ing the trial courts comment is to be
found in the record, would the COM
meDt, if duly proven, justify sentence
such ss this-one that otherwise would
not have been imposed? Osn q court,
withoat abuse or judicial discretion,
wipe out sll the property of the de-
PENDANT before the court aud all the
asset. to which its creditors look,
in au effort to reach and punish q
party that is not before the cOurt-s
patty that hasn't been tried, aud hasn't
been convicted? Gan an American
Judge without abuse of Judicial dis
cration condemn any one who has not
had his day in court? That, to our mind,
is strange doctrine in AnglO-Saxon
Jurisprudence. No monarch, no paria-
ment, no tribunal of western Europe
for centuries has pretended to have the
right to punish except after due trial
under all the forms of law. Gan that
rightfully be done here, on no other
basis then the judges personal belief
that the party marked by him for pun
ishment deserves punishment If 80 1t
Is because the man who happens to be
the Judge is above the law. The judgment
of the District Court is reversed aud the
case remanded with instructions 10 grant
q new trial and proceed further in &C.
cordance with the law"

A DISPATCH from Bristol says q. Bas'

man in Virginia, was in conference at
Hot Springs Monday with William H.
Taft. republican candidate for president.
Mr.. slemp promised good accounts from
Virginia in the election this fall lie
will open republican headquarters in
Roanoke early in August. 1--WE are
going t, make an earnest effort" he
told MIR. Taft, "to carry the state for the
republicans. We have many reasons 10
be encouraged with the situation. We
propose to place Virginia where she
rightfnlly belongs as regards national
politics-in the republican column. ~
This is 3 misleading dream and rep
clifton of the republican claims OF the
past two decades. The republican vote
in Virginia has steadily fallen oil since
slemp, Summers & Co. took charge OF
the party, and as MIR. TAFT being man oil
some observation, he doubtless listened
to slemps Authorizations with a grain
of salt.

GOMPERS' APPEAL.

Ia advance of publication in the
Federationist, the newspaper organ Of
the trade unionists, President GOmpers,
of The American Federation of Labor,
last night liberated the proof sheets OF a
democratic editorial that will appear in
the Angus! issue of the paper.
There are three double columns of it,
much of the type being used in quoting
the written demands that Gompers and
his associates made on the republican
aud democratic conventions for inser-
ton in their party platforms. Stress is
laid on the anti-iDjunction planks OF
both conventions, which are quoted,
apalyticsl comments by Gompers being
added.
A side shot is taken once more at the
Supreme Court decision in the Danbury
hatters' case, but Gomper remains
silent regarding the decision in the Buck
Stove and Range injunction case, for
the alleged violation of which Gompers
has been cited to appear and show cause
why be should not be punished for con-
tempt.
Golupers expresses the belief that
labor will solidily support the candidates
of the democratic convention.
While dissvowing an intention 80 de-
liver the labor vote" he expresses the
opinion that the worker will have To
answer u his fellow workers as well as
his conscience if his action Is contrary "a
the political course that is pointed out
for him.
An argument is submitted with the in
tention of proving that the republican
party is the enemy, and the democratic
party the friend, Of labor, and it con-
cludes with 3 call to the workers TO de-
feat their enemies for all offices, presi'

DEATH OF BISHOP POTTER.

Henry Goldman Potter, seventh Pro-
lestant Episcopal bishop of the diocese
of New York, died last night
ut Fernleigh, his summer home at
Cooptrstown n. Y, after an illness of
several weeks. The bishop was nncon-
scious all of yesterday and the end,
which came at 8.S5 O'Clock last night,
wRs peaceful and qniet. He was "A
yesrI old.
The members of his family we're at his
bedside when he died.
Desth was due to embOlism in the right
leg, following long attack OF liver and
stomach trouble.
Bishop Pot!er's illness first became
known early in the spring, when an
nouDcement was made that he was I'M
able ID take pant 10 the Easter service.
His condition which was said to have
resulted from overwork, manifested no
improvement, and he had TO give up his
work.
Through his long illness Bishop Potter
exhibited courage and patience, and not
inlrequently those about the bedside al
most forget the gravity of bis condition
when some expression Of keen humor
came from his lips.
Bishop Potter had been at the head OF
the New York diocese since 1887, sue
ceeding his uncle, Bishop Horatio Pot
ter. la addition to the heavy duties OF
the bishop Of the largest diocese in point
of population in the United States, he
took an active psrl in movements vi
national importance. He did much to
pr Jmore more cordial relationships be-
tween employees aud employed, and when
the occasion demanded lent his efforts to
improve the standard of municipal gov
eminent in New York city. Having
once pointed the way towards municipal
regeneration, the bishop stepped aside
and permitted others TO carry out the
reforms.
The conditions of immortality on the
east side in New York were brought to
his attention several years ego, and in
a sharp sermon delivered at st. Psus's
Church at MONDAY meeting he called
public attention ID q lax condition Il
municipal direction which resulted in
the overthrow of the Tsmmany admin
istration and the election of Seth Low,
president of Columbia College, t. the
Office of mayor.
Bishop Potter caused a stir through
out the country several years ago, when
he took part at the dedication of the
Subway Tavern, on Blocker street, New
York. 1t WAS the plan OF those in
tsrested in the tavern to conduct an
establishment where all intoxicants
would be served under regulations which
would promote temperance, and by ex-
ample improve the tone Of saloons. The
bishop made an address, in which he
said he hoped that the tavern would
prove a success. 1t failed.
A few yesrs ago Bishop Potter,
msrried Mrs. Elizabeth Scriven CLARK,
his second wife.
Bishop Potter was the son OF Rev.
Alonzo Potter, who was consecrated
bishop of Pennsylvania in 1S45 and was
educated at the Episcopal Academy, in
Philadelphia, and the Theological Semi
nary near Alexandra Va. He was or.
daintd priest in 1858, Bishop Potter
wrote extensively OF his travels abroad,
and wss a member of many well-known
New YORK clubs.
