Taft Administration and Law En-
forcement.

There Is a possibility that some
of the great corporations OF the couh-
try have oeen. and are, mistaking the
attitude of the Taft administration re
specting the enforcement of the laws
regarding trusts.
1t has been more or less believed
that there would be an end to pro-
secutiols of all sorts, and that the
laws upon the subject of trusts ana
monopolies would be allowed to lapse
into a state of disSlse.
Indeed, it has been declared that
the new Attorney Gneeral, George
w. Wickersham, was man who
might be relied upon to create as
little disturbance as possible. in the
belief that he was sympathzer will
the late methods OF mergering corpor
aions.
MIR. Wickersham, in recent
speech befaore the Bar Association
of New York, disabused the minds OF
his hearers to a considerable extent
and perhaps set them right as to the
views of the administration. He
said:
.'We have heard frequently of late
from representatives of certain busi'
ness interests Of the country cries
of ''Let US have peace and Lei
us alone. The price of peace Is
obedience to law"
This is the only way in which an
administration can succeed. 1t is
the only way in which president
or an attorney general can obey his
oath of office. If he fails to
do his duty and to prosecute corpor
ations or individuals doing business
Illegally, then he is not fit for the
place which he occupies.
Any idea, therefore, that the Taf'
administration is going to calmly per
init corporations or individuals to ig
more the law. or to wink at violations
of the statutes, is quite likely to nnc
himself mistaken. Prosecutions may
not be as spectacular or as numer
Gus, but when the Taft admimstra
tion believes that it has case
against a law breaker it will pro
ceed with a prosecution just as wig
orOusly as has ever been done. And
the way for any man or any corpora
ton to avoid prosecution is in tht
manner and method suggested b.
Mr.. Wickersham: ''The price o
peace is obedience to law
And If there should be any othel
course adopted than this. either b!
the administration or the corpora
.tions, the people will most certainl!

The Cost OF Bad Roads.

In a speech on the good roads bill
which was, before the Sixtieth ses-
sion of Congress, Senator Bankhead,
of Alabama, gave som Interesting
statistics showing the cost to the
farmers of bad roads.
In one recent year the weight of
the corn crop-or the part of it whicl
was marketed-was 100000 tons.
This made 14.156,OOO wagon loads.
and the average haul to railroad or
market was IA miles. Mr.. Bankhead
declares that the estimated cost of
hauling was s26.S3O. .69s. or 10 cents
per ton mile, and that If the roads
had been good it would have been on
ly 10 cents-a saving to the farmers
of $12 ,7O9 900 on one item.
Bad roads are indefensible. II for
no other reason than their excessive
cost. Simply as a matter of economy
1t is far better to build good high
ways. even when the initial cost is

LAWYERS HAVE HAD
PROFITABLE YEAR
Report of Secretary Shows
Conditions in to be Splendid
Shape at This Time

Minot, n. d., Aug. 13.--At the an
nual meeting OF the North Dakota Bar
association yesterda;. Secretary W.
I'll. Thomas submitted his report for
the year. This report, which is &
lengthy one, covers tho work OF the
association during the past twelve
months IN Il very comprehensive man
ner. showing in detail all that has
been done and in addition to this Civ
ins number OF important recon.
nlendationa.
When Mr.. Thomas became score
tary of tho association in 1902 there
We're no records OF the work up to
that time, everything being In q
chaotic condition. There were for
ty-four members in good standing out
OF total OF about 700 lawyers in tho
state. Since that time tho association
has. passed through stormy sessions,
but now seem to be sailing OIL !,
smooth sea.
This report Mr.. Thomas states is
his last, for with the close of the
year he expressed the wish to retro
from the office. The place of the Bar
association as an agent for reform in
civic matters, he says, has been estaD-
llshed in no small degree, but he be-
lieves that the future holds even q
greater promise for work along that
line.
The past year he says has been the
most successful OF all, with net in-
crease i'll membership of twenty. The
fact that no complaints have been
filed during the past year against an;
member OF the legal profession in the
state he believes, speaks volumes for
the conditions existing among law
yers in North Dakota.
Took No Action.
One of the matters coming before
the North Dakota Bar association at
the annual meeting yesterday was
that OF holding I. special meeting in
March for the purpose of recommend
ing candidate to the state supreme
court. Three members OF the court
are to be elected next year and soma
OF the Bar association members were
In favor of calling a meeting of the
association to make such recommen-
dations as might be deemed advisable.
The matter OF holding a special ses-
sion was finally laid over.
Officers Elected.
The following officers were elected
by the association:
President-Lee Combs, Valley City.
Vice President-A. A. Bruce, Grand
Forks.
Secretary-W. H. Thomas, Leeds.
Prof. Boyle delivered an address
before the lawyers this afternoon ON
taxation. This evening there will be
banquet In honor of the visitors.
The special meeting recommended
for March by the executive commit
tee, was voted down.
The election of W. H. Thomas comes
as an endorsement of his work, as in
his annual report Mr.. Thomas ex-
pressed a desire to retire. The as
sociation, however, felt that at the
present time he could do better work
than anyone else. hence his re-elec-
tion.

HEROIC M01htlf
SAVED HER CHILD
Attacked by a Worthless Our
But Mother Choked Brute
to Death

Philadelphia, Aug. 13.-With to-
tai disregard for her own safety. and
with almost abnormal strength, Mrs.
Clara Hin!Sle, OF 1929 Morris street,
saved her daughter from probably IA
tai injuries this morning by chok-
ing to death mad dog which had
knocked the girl to the pavement and
was standing with his open jaws at
tho child's throat.
Tho girl. Anna, IA years old, was
attacked by tho animas while playing
in front of her home. The dog was q
large black animal Of tho mongre]
type. He trotted up to where Anna
was playing with some other COM
panions, and before the other chill
dren had realized what had happened
he jumped upon the child and knock
ed her to the street.
His teeth sunk into the child's right
leg, and then into her breast. The
screams of the other children attract
ed the attention of the child's mother,
who rushed to. the scene, while the
beast was swapping at her daughters
hands. The approach o. tho woman
attracted tho animals attention, and
he ceased his attack upon the child
Tor c moment.
Mrs. Hinkle was defenseless. The
dog stood with one foot on the girls
chest and his jaws to her throat
Realizing the intention of the animal
and the fatality which would almost
certainly result the frantic woman
rushed at the beast and seized him by
tn. throat.
There was, snarl from the dog,
which struggled to free himself from
fthb woman g sTasp. Ho rose, to His
hind legs, and the two swayed back
and forth.
Mrs. Hinkle's fingers held the dogs
throat ss though 1t was in vice, and
slowly tho animal began to weaken.
AS tho dog sank to the pavement,
Joseph, the 11-year-old son of the
woman, reached the scene with a
largo polo and struck him over tho
head. The animal. already in tho
throes of strangulation, died immedi-
ately.
Despite the fact that her strength
was gone and that she was on tho
verge 0. physical and nervous COL
lapse, the woman ordered her son to
get his small express wagon.
When the boy returned with the
wagon, Mrs. Hinkla placed the un-
conscious form of her daughter in It
and ran at full, speed to tho st. Ag-
mes hospital. The wounds of the girl
were Immediately cauterized, and it is
said that she will probably live.

Active. in Europe.

Brussels. Aug. 12.-The Chinese
board OF foreign affairs has tele-
graphed to the Chinese legation hera
the text of Chine's circular note 10
the powers. dated August IL. in which
the government upholds its attitude
in the question Of the Antung- Mukden
railroad.
After tracing tho history of this
question and pointing out that China
made many concessions to Japan,
VINO still tried to throw upon China $
shoulders tho responsibility for the
delay in beginning the work, the note
declares Japan's interest in the line
to be entirely strategic and in no
sense economic.
Japan has sought unjustified ag.
gressioN' the note declares. "Al-
ready in the question of South Mau-
churia, she has outlined on several
occasions the territorial rights Of
China, and she is trying to secure lit
tie by little new rights not specified
In existing treaties.
In the present case the attack on
Chfna's rights is flsgrant. China, like
Japan, now addresses herself to tho
powers. She is conscious that sha
has defended not only her own legiti-
mate rights, but the veritable inter.
ests Of the powers against the pre-.
tentions of Japan"
Continuing, the note sets forth that
Japan, III announcing that she would
take up the construction of this line
without further negotiations, went
outside the treaty of 1905, which stip-
ulated that China should have the
right to police the railroad and sur
vey its construction. That China was
inclined to be conciliatory is shown
by the fact that she accepted the pro-,
posal to widen the tracks from mar
row to standard gauge, and agreed to
certain changes in the permanent
line.
In the conclusion the note says:
THE interest of the powers is that
no one shall occupy privileged po-
sition in Manchuria. China will CON
tfnue as heretofore to be inspired by
her conscience Of right and a spirit
OF fidelity to existing treaties. She
refuses to grant to Japan the right to
place new troops in China and exer-
else police functions in China. But
In these negotiations China will con-
tinue to show patience and magnani-
