woke ll1Ie' y theIn. low DO Judges try to
protect the, rights Of q minority
to these thingsf Well they pro-
tect them 80 well that in most
cities Of the country any police
man may with IMMUNITY break up
any public meeting to which the
powers that be object.
In some places local officers
have even the effrontery to ask
prospective speakers to first sub
NIT copies Of their speeches for
approval and when the speakers
have very properly refused, have
forbidden and forcibly prevented
the meetings from being held. In
Philadelphia q speaker who was
thus threatened, went into court
and asked for an injunction to
prevent such unconstitutional in
reference and was most contemp-
tuously refused. =.
At the present time, Judge Dan
Thew Wright Of Washington, is
showing his contempt for the con-
stitutional rights Of a minority
composed Of Samuel Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morri-
son. .
Grover Cleveland, when presi-
dent, disregarded the constitu-
tional provision protecting a state
from invasion by federal troops
without the consent of legislature
or governor. The courts did not
interfere. Cleveland also issued
bonds without authority Of con-
gress to oblige his friend, Pier
pont Morgan. J. R. Sovereign,
head of the knights Of Labor,
tried to secure an injunction pre-
venting this unlawful act. He was
refused.
Then there is the protective
tariff. A majority of the people
may favor that, but congress has
certainly no constitutional author
ity to levy taxes for any other
than revenue purposes. But the
courts. have never interfered.
Then there was case once
where the courts refused to inter-
fere when an American citizen. q
man born in the. United States of
Chinese parents, was denied ad-
mission to the country after for
eign trip. A petty official exclud-
ed him. He belonged to a class
not very popularsaP erhaps a ma
jority Of the people were ready to
applaud this official, mot thinking
that the precedent thus set might
lead to consequences less popu-
lar. Here. was certainly a very.
helpless minority denied constitu-
tional rights which the courts. are
said to protect even against popu-.
lar clamor. The Supreme Court
Of the United States refused to
interfere. g..
What minority rights are the
courts ready to- protects Usually
the rights Of predatory interests
and no other. As a defense of
the just rights Of minorities they
have proven to be miserable fail

smoke that issued from the windows
until PAS o'clock, when flames were
seen to issue from one of the back win
dows on the Court street side. In less
than five minutes, huge sheets Of
flames were issuing from all the win
dows of the Court street side, and
accompanying them was the crashing
of glass and the burning away Of all
wires attached to the building. Ted
Cooper gave up hope Of saving the low
er portions Of the huge structure when
the flames finally found their way to
the open.
Streams of water are being played
on the structure from all angles, but
the location of the fire. being on the
very top of the big building, makes the
work OF the firemen Of but little Use.
There is hope. however, that the
flames will be confined to the Cooper
establishment, although this will be
hard to accomplish.

[AFOLlfTTE IN
SENATE SPEECH
ASSA|LS PRESS
Wisconsin Senator Declares
They Support Reciprocity
Because They Have a "Di-
rect Money Interest"

Washington, D. c., July 21.--Assail-
ing the press of the United States
for it's support OF the Canadian reel
procity bill, Senator LaFollette of
Wisconsin made his opposing speech
against the bill in the senate today.
He expressed the belief that news
papers would suffer in loss OF inhu-
ence from the support they had given
to legislation in which, he said, they
"have direct money interest.
"The press has failed in its duty to
the public in regard to this legisla-
ton, he said. ~ AZ !,
Mr.. LaFollette referred to testi-
mony given before the finance com
mittee of the senate that a newspa-
per organization had sent out COM
munication to many papers urging
them to favorably treat the reciproc-
ity agreement He deplored this atti-
tude Of the newspapers.
"We have senators on this Moor who
are bankers, said Senator LaFollette,
senators who are WOOlen manufac-
turers and cotton manufacturers, SEN
ators who are interested In lumber
and mines. Let no newspaper here
after assail any senator because he
supports legislation in his own pecu-
liar interest"
Senator LaFollette referred to SEN
ator Hitchcock Of Nebraska, who had
interrupted him. as a Newspaper
owner" who had direct interest at
stake.
"It is not just or fair to me to crit
icise the senator from Wisconsin, =
retorted Hitchcock, tor advocating a
duty on paper in the interest of the
great paper mills of Wisconsin to
which the whole country pays trib-
ute"
Senator LaFollette replied that he
did not favor duty on paper; that he
was in favor of free print paper and
would propose measure In that In
terest as direct tariff measure. He
objected to the reciprocity bill, he
said, because the newspapers would
get free paper at the expense Of the
farmers whose duties on their prod
ucts would be removed.
Senator La Toilette further de-
nounced the reciprocity bill as a
fraud and deception on the voters.
He called the whole proposition "a
confidence game" and cited what it
said would result in loss of 100000
900 alone to the farmers In three
states-Minnesota,i North and South
Dakota-from the operations Of the ag-
ricultural schedule Of the agreement
Chairman Penrose Of the senate f.
nance committee, today promised
President Taft to lay the Canadian
reciprocity bill, with the approval of
both the senate and house, on the
presidents table by 2 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon, more than three hours
before the president plans to leave
Washington for a weekend stay at
Beverly. Senator Penrose said that it
might get through tomorrow morning,
and then would be brought immediate
" to the white house.

BIG TRUSTS TO
. SPLIT UP Says
W|CKERSHAN
Attorney General Tells a
Michigan Audience Peo-
pie Who Say Oil Case
Means Nothing, Mistaken.

Hancock, Mich, July 21-Big cor
porations like the Standard Oil COM
pany and the tobacco trust" are 60.
ing to split UP into number of sep
arate and distinct parts without con-
nection or monopoly power. This was
the prediction made in an address here
today by Attorney General Wicker
sham answering people who are say
ing the decisions of the supreme court
don't really mean anything"
Don't believe any such talk" de.
clared the attorney general to the
crowd assembled for Hancock's home
coming celebration.
Mr.. Wickersham in his address pre-.
faced his remarks by declaring that
he spoke as lawyer to some of the
clients whose legal affairs he had been
endeavoring to attend to and he was
"gratified to be able to report a very
large measure OF success" He added j:
First OF all there are the great
trusts cases, intwhich you, in common
with the whole country have been so
much interested. The government
scored great victories there. Do not
let anybody deceive you as to that. If
the court had held that every contract
that put any restraint Of any kind
upon commerce among the states how
ever slight, was q violation OF the
Sherman law the department Of JUS
tice would have had to illustrate the
truth OF what Edmund Burke said.
you can't draw an indictment against
nation" For there are not lawyers
enough In the government, nor for that
matter in the country, to draw indict-
ments against everybody who makes
any contract that in any respect oper.
ates In some measure to restrain in.
terstate commerce. But when the su.
preme court said we must read this
statute az reasonable men and give II
an Interpretation that will not strange
al trade, but which will prevent any
undue restraint, prohibit all contracts
and combinatians that are intended to
interfere with the natural course OF
trade, or which will have that nee.
essary effect then the court gave US
a means Of preventing those evils
which led to the enactment Of the law.
And this is especially 80 in view of the
fact that the court gave full force to
the prohibition of monopolies, and by
its DEGREES has ordered the breaking
up of the two largest and most sue.
cessful monopolies or trusts which
ever have appeared in this country.
"But some people are saying that
these decisions don't really mean any.
thing; that the big trusts will simply
reorganize under other forms and. 60
on Just as before. Don't believe any
such talk. Take my assurance for 1t
that those big combinations are going
to be split up into a number OF separ.
ate and distinct parts, no one Of which
shall have any competition or control
over any other, and no one Of which
shall have so large a percentage OF
the business as to be anything like q
monopoly That is what / understand
the court to require, and nothing less
will meet my Interpretation Of the
decisions Of the supreme court"

WRONGS RIGHT
THEMSELVES
SAYS PARSONS
Former Counsel Of Sugar
Trust Says Government
Cannot in Equity Inter-
fere in Private Affairs.

New York, July 21.-"All such
wrongs right themselves" was the re-
assurance John e. Parsons gave the
sugar trust investigators today when
they asked him how to curb the big
corporations. When the former at.
torney OF the American Sugar RefininE
company took the stand again Repre-
sentative Asher Kinds inquired:
"As probably the worlds most emf
nent expert on these matters what
would you suggest that sovereign
government do to prevent these great
combinations OF capital from the ex-
travagances they have exhibited in the
past?'
"My theory is. and 1t is supported
by the greatest economic writer's, that
all suoh wrongs right themselves, re-
piled Mr.. Parsons.
''If there is too much water In the
stock that will take care OF itself The
government cannot in equity interfere
in private affairs. There should be no
limit to capitalization so long as 1t IS
not Injurious or fraudulent"
At the start of the congressional in
vestigation today Chas. r. Heike.
former secretary Of the American
Sugar Refining company. declared his
ignorance OF the mysterious resolution
passed by the board Of directors IN
which H. o. Havemeyer said the com
pany should take action relative to "in-
furious litigation and hurtful legisla-
tion and appeals from each of the
political parties" Heike said that the
late John f. Searles was the secretary
and did not turn over to him records
OF the action taken on that resolu-
ton.
Approves OF standard Oil Decision.
h Mr.. Parsons added, ~ thoroughly
approve az the recent Standard OIL and
tobacco trust cases where the snpreme
court reads reasonable into the law.
Otherwise there would have been
the worst panic this country ever
knew"
The witness declared that this deci-
sion would make it impossible to en-
force the criminal clause OF the Sher-
man act.
Mr. Parsons explained how John E.
searles had paid 100000 for the $780,
900 North River property and disman-
tied the refinery. Then Searles, after
killing the North River company's ac-
tual self, entered 1t as partner In the
sugar reflneries company This the
court of appeals declared to be illegal.

Mr.. Parsons admitted that he re-
ceiyed $500 stock certificates OF a par
value of s25O,oOO for his services In
forming the original sugar ref1neries
company.
