CARNEGIE SEES
CHANGE COMING
!f0nmaster Predicts Revolution in
Industrial WOrId-Com-
petition is Dead.

New York, Feb. 13.-Andrew Car
negie declared that congress is inca
pable of fixing just tariff schedule.
and that permanent bipartisan COM
mission of experts is the only solu-
tion of the ever-troublesome tariff
problem. Mr.. Carnegie urged that all
manufacturers of the country attend
the national tariff commission con-
vention, which assemblies at Indian
apolis on Fe0. 16. He also asserted
that the average congressman, as a
rule, is unequipped by training or
knowledge to fairly and understand
1ngly deal with such an abstruse
proposition as tariff.
Among other things Mr.. Carnegie
said. There should be a permanent
staff Of able, disinterested men
charged with studying conditions in
all manufacturing countries. The in
dustrial world is about to undergo
the most momentous change known
in its history, even more far-reaching
than was the change from the indi-
vidual domestic manufacturer, manu-
featuring at home, to the factory sys-
tenn and the huge establishments of
today. We are rapidly losing compe-
tition in articles of general consump-
ton, upon which nations have NTH
erto depended to insure reasonable
prices for the consumer. Some of
our most important industries today
are nominally competitive and in
reality are monopolies so far as an
understanding exists as to prices that
will prevail.
The mOnopolies must be controlled
in some way or other A supreme In
dustrial court will have to be created
and eventually will have to pass upon
prices, disguise this as we may. This
is even larger question than the
tariff, but our troubles with reyisions
Of the tariff will be greatly overcome
by body of experts. keeping them
selves fully informed of all matters
pertaining to the question. The new
industrial court may make mistakes,
as our interstate commerce commits
sion may, but both will gradually Gre
ate traditions and make decisions
which will be duties for the future
1t would be well for our captains Of
industry generally to attend the
forthcoming convention and get a
true understanding of the problems
involved that thew NAV he Drenared

Delivers SpecCl Gn World Libel Suits
-BlameS and RidiCuIes
the President.

Washington, Feb. 13. = Character
izing as the most fragrant and the
most dangerous exercise of usurped
power ever witnessed in this coun-
try" the grand jury investigations
which have been in progress for sew
eral weeks past in connection with
the alleged Panama libel case. Repre-
sentative Willett OF New York, who
several weeks ago vigorously attack
ed President Roosevelt on the floor
OF the house. came To the defense OF
the papers whose alleged libelous
publications are being investigated.
declaring ''the courts of the United
States have no Jurisdiction in cases
of libel against the government OF
the United States"
1T has not been conferred upon
them by any legislative act" he as-
serted, 'and they possess no criminal
jurisdiction derived from the common
law" He called the present investi-
cation the most extraordinary pro-
ceeding on the part of the federal
government which has shocked the
country since the days of the old Fed
eralist party. This proceeding has.
for weeks been going on right here
in the DISTRICT of Columbia, under the
very shadow of the Capitol. and
seems to have been instigated. il not
directly ordered, by the president"
A large part of Mr.. Willett's speech
was taken up with extracts from
various court decisions, by which he
attempted to prove that there is no
legal justification for prosecuting
cases of alleged libel against the gov
ernment. He declared that the old
English doctrines relating to the IL
beling Of the government or great
public officers has been rejected in
all the states of the Union since the
revolution. of 1776, and that it had.
before that time, been rejected in
England by the act abolishing in the
reign Of Charles II the star chamber
court. He asserted that the doctrine
has ever since been regarded as 'sun-
safe, unreasonable, unjustifiable and
unconstitutional fiction"
He ridiculed the contention, which
he said the governments attorneys
are reported to hold, that the princi-
pie that though the government of q
country with a constitution like ours
can not be libeled applies everywhere
else in the United States, it does not
apply in the District of Columbia.
In conclusion, Mr.. Willett defined
the present proceedings by the gov
ernment as "a usurpation which
seems to be intended to forestall this
house, the grand inquest of the ma
ton. in the exercise of it's right to
investigate charges of corruption
brought by responsible citizens
against the administration now I'm
power. And warn you that no such
usurpation shall be allowed to entan-
gle itself in precedents, lest by repe-
tition the abuse become inveterats,
and despotism firmly established ON
the ruins of our republic"
