Signature on Saloon
License Bonds.

palladium Specially


Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 7.-Consider
able comment was heard here yester-
day afternoon when it was learned that
the name of Charles v. McAdams was
signed to saloon license bonds as attor
ney in fact for a surety. company which
signed the bonds as surety for saloon
keepers who applied for licenses. Nc
Adams is a law partner of J. Frank
Hanly, the firm name being Hanly,
McAdams and Artman, the latter be-
ing Samuel r. Artman, formerly cir
cult judge at Lebanon, who decided
that the saloon is an evil and that the
state has no right to license an evil.
Persons around the office of the
county commissioners sat up and took
notice when they saw McAdams's
name signed to twelve of these saloon
bonds. McAdams explained. however,
that he had nothing to do with the bus
mess except to sign the bonds as the
attorney for the surety company.
which his law firm represents.

Has il ever occurred to the officers OF
the American Sugar Refining Conn
pany how completely the history of
the plot by which that company ha-,
Ia the last dozen years, stolen from the
United States government something
like $4,000, 600, sustains the argume t
of the Socialists? Is it not striking
example of the actual working of the
influence which the Social ats attribute
to the possession of large masses ofpri-
vate property?
Are not tho greed, the recklessness Of
right and Of law, the ruthless cunning,
the dull, sordii indifference to wrongs
inflicted on others-and the most
nearly neIpless-aIl displayed in this
series of persistent and vulgar frauds?
By the tariff laws the company enjoys
great and valuable privileges at the ex
pense of the whole people. Its enor-
NOUS and profitable business is protect
ed by practically prohibitory duties from
foreign competition.
Dc uutieB IL 10 Chlltu Oh 10 pdy are
revenue duties-a contribution toward
its share of the cost of the Federal gov
eminent. And these duties, to the
amount of s2,O0O,oOo, the company
deliberately, meanly, by petty and
deepicable modes of cheating, steals
frsm The government. Some one had
to make up the difference. In csnsid-
cradle part it came from the poor, who
are already heavily burdonej, to fatten
the bank accounts Of the sugar COM
pany.
Now, as remedy for these shock
ing evils, the abolition ofprivate prop
erty ia puerile hopeless. As an argu-
ment fer the need of remedy the his
tory of this miserable fraud Is very
strong. There are not in all America
today such convincing prapasandists
of the most dangerous form of social
ism as the men in the sugar company
who exeeted, planned, authorized or
tolerated these frauds.
