OFfICIALDOM X
WHEN THE PEOPLESTYR

weeks ago the great and little combinations in restraint of trade
IN food products had everything their own way, and oaicialdom
sat supne. Suddenly there began in the city of Cleveland a
popular movement against the meat trust. Within a week it had
spread to scores of cities and towns, and in another week the
movement was travelling like wildfre over the country. Then if
was that the placid national administration woke up and Suddenly
discovered that there was enough in the law for the criminal prose
cuuon of the combination that was remorselessly plundering the
people in their meat supplies. Legislatures began to take action.
and even grand iuries are bestirring themselves. The call from
u aepths goes on, the popular revolt is extending daily. What.
ever sothful action ohicialdom shall take, the people will act.
Ihey have discovered that they hold a potent weapon, and need
moi wait upon long-winded investigation and it's ALWAYS barren
results.

SHALL THERE BE
INVESTIGATION?

this State comes from the minority members, but manfestly there
is no trace of partisanship in it. The purpose is to get at one of
the agencies that Systematically plumber the people. There is a
popular uprising against this species of extortion. and the resolu-
ton introduced is an expression of the desire of practically the
whole population of New Jersey. Another resolution introduced
is of a kindred character. 1t calls for an investigation by the
attorney general into the causes for the enormously increased prices
of meat, butter, eggs and milk. This resolution should include
fish in its category, and, in fact, the fish prices should be deemed
of the greater Importance. The Legislature and the legal depart
nent of the State can be engaged in no more important work than
that of smoking out the combinations that are fattening on the
substance of the people and making human existence more diff
cult. And this is the time for investigation. New Jersey has
chartered many OF the combinations that are expressing the people.
1t has sanctioned telephone monopoly. Shall it refuse to make
these combinations disclose their methods and give an accounting
of their acts?

METEOR SCARE IN CHEROKEE
Altogether Probable That Explosion
Which Scared Arat People Was
Dynamite Thrown by Fish

News and Courier.

News and Courier.
| Spartanburg, April 12.-Yesterday
at Gafney the News and Courier cor.
respondent made some inquiry as Is
! the report Of an aerolite, which Was
said to have fallen last week on the
Broad river hills, about eight miles
southeast Of Gafney. No one had
visited the place. Reports said that
there was loud explosion and a big
hole blown out in a field.
Now, meteoric stones do not sail
around through space with fuses at
tached to them ready to explode when
they bury themselves in the earth.
Some Of the older people about Char
lesion. if they were not hiding in
bomb-proofs, may remember the be-
havior Of large mortar shells when
they exploded after sinking several
feet in the earth. They made hole
Large enough to bury a horse or two.
When the shell did not explode the
hole was only as large as the shell.
That was the way it was on the hills
about Petersburg in 1864.
A meteor striking the earth would
sink se5eral feet below the surface
perhaps, but there would be no blow
ing out. Hence the story was not
believed by many persons.
There was no doubt as to the ex-
plosion, for many Of the neighbors
heard it. But no fash or long trail
Of light was reported. It is said
that some of the men on the river
had been killing fish with dynamite
on the sly and they had some car
tridges and concluded that they
would fire them out in a field. That
stroy is told about Gafney, but =
needs coroborating.
In the fall of 1913 or '49 there was
an aerolite that fell not far from
Gafney, In the "Coaling ground. .
About 5 O'Clock in the afternoon
there was a bright fash Of light fol-
lowed by report, which was heard
for miles. Around Cherokee Ford
and the Kings Mountain Iron Works
there we're thousands of acres Of land
known as the coaling ground. The
wood had been cut to heat the iron
furnaces and a thick underground
had succeeded the forest timber.
Somewhere in that region the met
eoric stone buried itself in the earth
and its resting place is as unknown as
that Of Moses, the Hebraw lawgiver.

D. B. COOPER PARDONED.
Gov. Patterson Grants Full Absolu-
tion to Elder of Carmack's
Slayers.

Nashville, Tenn, April 13.-Gover-
nor Patterson this afternoon par
doned Colonel Duncan B. Cooper,
whose sentence of twenty years in
the penitentiary for the murder Of
United States Senator E. W. Car
mack was affirmed today by the
State supreme count. Although it
was believed by many that the chief
executive would take this action, the
pardon, coming so soon after the
action Of the court, created a sensa-
ton.
What Governor Patterson Says.
Governor Patterson, in pardoning
Colonel Cooper, said:
''Being thoroughly familiar with
the record, having read all the testi-
mony and testified to certain facts
within my personal knowledge, it is
neither desirable nor necessary to
detail action for petition to be pre-
sented asking executive clemeney.
fsIn my opinion, neither of
defendants are guilty, and they have
not had a fair and impartial trial,
but were convicted contrary to the
law and evidence. The action of the
supreme count, in vacating the judg-
ment as to Robin Cooper, leaves the
sentence Of final conviction as to his
co-defendant. The proof showed that
Robin Cooper killed the deceased and
that D. B. Cooper did not fire a shot.
Without rejecting upon the court, it
is incooceivable to my mind and re-
pugnant to every principle of justice
that a man should be found guilty Of
murder, who was not in conspiracy
to kill and who, in fact, did mot kill. -
Friends Of carmack Indignant.
The friends of Senator Carmaek
are indignant over the hasty action
Of the governor and the matter is
being discussed by excited groups Of
nen on the streets.
After being handed his pardon,
Colonel Cooper was Immediately sur
rounded by his friends and congrat-
ulated. Accompanied by his son
nd other relatives he then repaired
TO the home Of his daughter, Mrs.
Lucius Burch.
1t is doubted here that the case
against Robin Cooper, which was re-
versed today, will ever again be
brought to trial.

JOURNALISM AND
, ITS GOLDEN AGE. :


President Taft's little di%sguisition
on journalism, with its incidental
references to newspapers and news
paper men, was rather better than
such things commonly are, but, as
usual, remarks the New York Times,
it revealed in several particulars the
inability Of the outsider to understand
the combination of business trade,
and profession which to those inside
Of it seems to have no mysteries at
all. The President repeated, for in
stance, the long-familiar statement
that the newspaper Of to-day differs
from those Of twenty or thirty or fifty
years ago in that while now the
news receives most attention, then it
was the editorial utterances that
made value and reputation.
That Is right enough, as a mere
matter Of uninterrupted observation,
but as basis for the conclusion drawn
by the President and so often reached
by other people-that the editors Of
to-day are different from, inferior to,
and less influential than their prede-
cessors in the Golden Age Of Jour-
nalism-is without any foundation in
fact. Newspapers always printed all
the news their u and their
facilities enabled them to get. The
better and more prosperous ones get
more of 1t nowadays, because they
can, and that is all there is to the
much-lamented change.
The supposed superiority of the
old-time editorial articles is a pure
Illusion, with no foundation in fact,
or non except the one fact that when
the news supply was scanty the COM
ment on it attained a comparative i'm
p~ortance which it now lacks. The
best way to gain freedom from this
illusion is to look through the old
files Of representative papers printed
in the era when editorial giants are
supposed to have abounded. Who
ever does 80 will find some good edi-
torial writing and some that IS strong,
but he will also find that it's average
of merit is below rather than above
the editorial writing Of the present,
and that not a little of it would now
excite only derisive laughter.
The modern editor addresses a pub
lie larger, better educated, and vastly
less prejudicial, especially in matters
political, than did his professional
forbears. He cannot a. safely speak
to his readers from high to low" as
the French say, and he must keep
In mind their habit Of reading moro
than one newspaper and their conse-
quent possession of the means for
conyicting him of Misrepresentation It
he be inclined to indulge in it

A cherry tree may be represented

of the ladies. A dos might furnish
the bark, and also delight the guests
when he leaves.
