ODE -7efferson,on

The majority Of the Legislature being Demo
cratic and this the year for Indiana to elect a
y. 5. Senator, we expected to see Mr.. Bryans
late running mate, John w. Kern, given the
job
But politicians are a greedy lot, as rule,
and Mr.. Kern was not slated for reward for
allowing Tom Taggart to make him the tail Of
the Democratic ticket.
He was a strong candidate for the nomina-
ton, but it went to another.
Now Mr. Kern alleges that he was double
crossed, and charges that the secret ballots
which were cast by the caucus made possible
mot only betrayals, but all sorts of treachery,
doubledealng and corrupt practices"
Mr.. Kern hints that even Tom Taggart knew
all of this was going and did not part his
lips to put stop to it.
Poor Mr. Kern.
Mr. Taft has made the Southern people one
promise which, if carried Out to the letter, will
mean great deal to this section of the coun-
try.
He promises to appoint men to office who
will be acceptable to the community instead
Of giving the job to the professional office
holder
1t has often been just the other way. The
man who was most unpopular has been forced
upon community because the community
happened to differ with the Administration
politically. Many Federal oflceholders in the
South are not bona fide citizens of the State in
which they hold office, and they are about as
popular as was the carpet-bagger.
But the most important thing to the South
is that it will put an end to the holding Of office
by negroes.
Thousands of negroes voted for Mr.. Bryan
instead of Mr.. Taft and if Mr.. Taft keeps his
promise to the Southern people those who did
vote for him will be cursing Taft and the Re-
publican party after March 4.
In affirming the decision of the Texas State
courts imposing a fine of ST 100000 on the
Waters-Pierce Oil Co. (the company with
which Senator Bailey had dealings) and GUST
ing it from the State for violating the Texas
Antitrust law, the United States Supreme
Court decided question which is of vast i'm
portance to the several States
This decision upholds the legislative and
judicial powers of State to cure the Trust
evil and punish the ofense,-even when the
corporation pleads interstate Commerce"
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES N0e00Se0cc0cSe0
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-01-28

Following the decision in the New York
gas case and the Knoxville water case which
affirms the power Of the States to regulate
public service corporations, this decision aftlrn-
ing the power of State to curb and punish
trading monopoly, although the Trust was
created by the powers of another State, IS
hard blow to the Trusts.
It means that trust created IN New jersey
must conform to Texas or Georgia laws when
it goes into Texas or Georgia to do business Z
This is common sense, and good lava
principle as old as the hills-but a principle
hard to beat into the heads Of some judges.
The Supreme Court seems to be waking tip
to the fact that the States have some rights, as
the founders of our government intended they
should have.
The taxpayer is to have another burden
placed upon his shoulders.
The Senate has voted to increase the salary
of the President from $4,000 to $Ioo,ooo; the
Vice President from $I2, 900 to 1900, and an
''Under Secretary of State was created, with
a salary of $4,000. The i. S. Supreme Court
Judges also received an increase in salary.
That part of the ELL appropriating 5000
each to the Vice President and Speaker to pay
for carriage and horses was defeated, and
justly.
The Secretary of the Interior has asked Con-
gress to appropriate 100000 for the prose
cution of land frauds in the West About
$IIo,ooo,ooo worth of lands principally in
States west of the Mississippi river, have been
frauduently acquired during the last two
years
What was the Department Of Interior doing
while the stealing was going on?
Many Senators have been elected during the
past week and several new faces will be seen
in the next Senate
Mr. Root succeeds Plat from New York,
Gov. Chamberlain succeeds Senator Fulton
from Oregon, Charles ]. Hughes, Jr succeeds
Senator Teller from Colorado. Geo. F. Craw-
ford Of South Dakota, Wesley L. Jones, of
Washington, and NJ N Johnson, of North Da-
kota, will be among the new Senator's
Secretary Root is the best known of the new
Senators, and Plat the best known of those
retiring.
When Plat steps out the Senate will lose
one Of its most corrupt Senators, and the coun-
try will gain by his passing.

REPLIES TO JUDGE
Says County Board Spent Only Tenth
What Estelle Said.
$4,000 INSTEAD OF $25, 900
Denies that Commissioners wasted
Money ON office of District
CIerk-DetentiOn Home EX-
penses Are High.

Declaring tina the county commissioner
expended a little over $1,000 instead Of $4,000
on the office Of the district clerk, County
Commissioner p. J. Trainor has given out
a statement replying TO Judge Estelle, who
made the charge that the larger sum had
been expended. Mr.. Trainor declared:
Responding to the remarks which Judge
Estelle made from the bench, l wish 10
state that l have always been in sympathy
with and supported the Juvenile court and
the Detention home, which the county re-
Gently constructed with a capacity Of fifty
children. Because the home was filled
shortly after It was occupied the commits
sioners called the superintendent of the
Detention home and the Juvenile court
Judge into conference to see If they could
not find a way to provide homes for at
least a part Of the children, SO we could
make room for other delinquent children,
or cut the expense which the county and
taxpayers would rave to pay.
FOR the benefit Of the public 1 wish to
state that the county has invested in the
Detention home grounds, buildings and i'm
provements in the last two years the sum
Of SAC, 7g7. and the cost Of maintaining each
inmate during the year 1908 was $40 per
month. II the new Detention home is filled
to Its capacity during the coming year II
will require from $4,000 to $1,000, not CUNT
ing the improvements and repairs Which
will necessarily have to be made.
In regard 10 the statement Of Judge
Estelle that the commissioners have spent
S25, 900 in fixing up the office of the clerk
Of the district court, / wish to state the
books show we actually spent during tbs
year 1908 and 1903 for furniture, fixtures
and repairs the sum Of 81, ale. 80. More thar
half OK this was for filing cases and other
fixtures which will be used in the new court
house. So the commissioners did not ex'
pend to exceed one-tenth of the amount
which the honorable Judge said they did In
fixing up the office OF the clerk of the
district court.
Mr.. Plckard was not a commissioned
during 1905 and therefore did not help to
| expend $4,000 to put in proper shape fol
the public use the office of the district
! clerk"
