New York, Feb. "A warrant for
the arrest of Broughton Branden-
burg, the magazine writer, whose
sale to the New York Times of an
article alleged to have been written
by Grover Cleveland resulted in his
Indictment on a charge of grand lar
ceny a few days ago., has been issued
by Justice Bowling.
The case against Brandenburg was
to have come up before Justice Dowl-
Ing in the supreme court Monday, but
when the time anne for calling of the
defendant to the bar, Brandenburg 4,
who had been out on $500 bail fur
nished by a bonding company, could
not be found.
After ordering the calling of his
name by the clerk of the court.
Bowling forfeited B~randenburg's bail
and issued a bench warrant for his
arrest.
No trace of B~randenburg has been
found. Samuel b. Thomas, Brand
enburg's attorney, says that he re-
ceived no word from his client since
Sunday night, when he had had a
telephone conversation with him. and
he was in ignorance of the writer's
present whereabouts.
The case against B~randenburg grew
out of the sale by him of an article
purporting to have been written by the
late Grover Cleveland, in which the
former president advocated the cleo
ton of William H. Taft. After its
publication the article was widely
circulated as campaign literature.
The article was brought to the at
tention of Mrs. Cleveland, who is
alleged to have declared it entirely
apocryphal, and an investigation en-
sued which resulted in the indictment
of Brandenburg on a charge of grand
larceny in the second degree, pre-
ferred by The Times.
Among those who had expected to
testify in the case were Mrs. 'Cleve-
land. Richard w. Glider, editor OF
Century; John H. Finley. president
of the College of the City of New
York; David N. Carvalho, the hand
writing expert; DR.. Joseph D. Bry-
ant, Mr.. Cleveland's family physician

secretary of the treasury during the
second Cleveland administration
George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the
Republican national committee, and

Ideas In Relation TO Trusts
WANTS efficient PUBLICITY"

ness Opportunities and Highways of
Commerce Equally Open to ALL
Federal Control of Corporations
Should Be 5roadened Into General
Constructive System
Washington, Feb. 3.-"The aim of
new legislation should be to regulate,
rather than prohibit combinations -"
says Commissioner Smith of the
bureau of corporations in his annual
report.
There is an irresistible movement
toward concentration in business, ;"
say the commissioner. We must
recognize the fact that industrial con-
centration is already largely accom-
plished. in spite Of general statutory
prohibition.
Our present law. forbidding all
combination, therefore needs adap-
tation to the actual facts. If we are
to do anything effective with the corp
Grafton question, we must make an
advance on our present legislation.
The practical object is to see
that business opportunity and the
highways of commerce are kept equal
ly open to all to prevent fraud, spe-
cial privilege and unfair competition.
To do this, we must recognize IN
centration, supervise it and regulate
it.
Above all we must have a system
of efficient publicity. This is the
strongest means for our purpose.
Efficient publicity means that sort of
publicity which reaches the average
citizen under everyday conditions.
"A permanent office, after collect
ing material, must also summarize it
for the public, in brief, clear and
reliable conclusion, showing import
ant permanent corporate tendencies.
The control by the federal govern
ment (of corporations) should abe
b~roadened into a general constructive
system based on tested principles of
supervision, publicity and c%o-opera-
ton. The details of such a system in
it's main features should be as follows:
1T SilOulu We ODeldlSu ny Tue lSucIdI
government.
1T should provide for a system of
regular reports from the large inter
state corporations.
Such government office should have
access at all reasonable times to the
records and accounts of such corpora
tons.
That Office should publish on
cisely the important facts disclosed.
1t should safeguard from publication
all business secrets.
Corporations complying with these
requirements should be given the ad-
vantage of a definite federal registra-
ton.
The system should, if possible, be
voluntary.
Finally, supervision must be ad-
ministrative No other method has
the necessary f~lexibility.
I'VE must have a system of super
vision which provides a working basis
for conference n cooperation and
which does not rely merely on
criminal procedure and opposition.
The government must have such
supervision and control of corporate
machinery as will maintain in business
the fundamental American ideal of
equal opportunity for ALL"

Wise Counsel to Young Men.
News and Observer.

News and Observer.
| In a literary address at Wake For
| est College, some years ago, Mr.. Chas.
VI. Pusbee warned the young men
against entering politics as mere
place hunters, and said:
There is an impossible gulf be-
tween the man who interests himself
in governmental affairs of state and
nation, who serves his country with
diligence and unselfish devotion when
called to fill public station and the
professional politician who is in poll
tics for purely selfish and speculative
purposes. Such as these burden the
earth-they are an incubus upon So
ciety-the aff1iction and curse of pop
ular government, without settled con
victions, ready to trim their sails to
catch each passing breeze. And they
are a discontented lot. l have never
known a satisfied politician of this
leading a serene and happy iife-like
the daughters Of the horse leech, they
cry continually, Give! Give!' If the
wisest of men had lived in these days,
he would have added to his list of
the four things that be. that never cry
enough a fifth: the ordinary profes-
sional American politician.
81 also counsel you against en-
gaging yourselves in political matters
as the advocates or for the purpose
of furthering any especial interests
The imperfection most obvious in our
legislative bodies, and particularly in
Congress, is the tendency to ignore
the consideration of matters promot-
ing the public welfare for the purpose
of advancing local or particular or
private legislation. Many Congress-
men are mere special pleaders, inter
esting themselves in single and spe-
cific matters and neglecting matters
in which the people at large are con-
cerned. But all this is of common
knowledge. The persistent trading
and bargaining in our legislative bod
les, the traffic in votes, the exchange
quid pro quo basis of support of GER
tain bills, the "I tickle you and yol
tickle me- policy carried into practf
cal and commercial example in our
legislative halls, is fast becoming the
debasement of our politics. l was
forcibly impressed not long since by
the declaration, in dramatic play.
of a Chinese statesman, who, after
much observation OF our political
methods and tendencies, wittily AMI
sarcastically declared that American
politics consisted of three things,
building fences, pulling wires, and
rolling logs.

Policeman F. G. Watkins, of that
town, and are in the Mission Hospital
here, where Mr.. Bunting is expected
to die as the result of wound in the
abdomen while Mr.. Collins though
shot under the heart will doubtless
recover.
The officer, who promptly came to
the city and was placed under $780,
ries of the men, stated that the two
were boisterous and having a good
time in the hotel and that he shot in
self-defence after the men had eXtin-
guished the lamp and leaped on him
in the darkness, he having been walked
from sleep to go to the hotel, whose
proprietor had sent word to him %
come and arrest the men.
The wounded men were brought to
Asheville on the early morning train
tain by asphysician. At the hospital
Drs. Fletcher and Hilliard operated
ON Mr.. Bunting, when internal hem
orrhages were found. 1t was ascer
tanned that the bullet entered the
right side,- passed through a lobe of
the liver and the head of the pan
creas, breaking the eleventh rib and
lodging in the external muscles OF
the back.
The wounded men are respectable
citizens and of high standing in their
communities.
Telephone messages to Blacn Noun
tain developed many conflicting ru-
mors about the case.
Friends from the section where Mr..
Collins lives say that when his condi
ton warrants, he will make a state
ment which will throw different
light on the case.
