sue with the President. The aver
age man behaves thai the trusts
could be reached" if the govern
ment would set out in good faith to
reach them.
The vital issue is not whether the
trusts could" be reached. The real
important question is: Why is that
not single guilty trust magnate has
been sent to Jail, or even called to
the bar of Justice? The answer is
THAT the government does not send
trust magnates to jail nor control the
trusts because the trusts control the
standpat republican machine, and for
fourteen years the standpat republic
can machine. in recognition of cam
paign fund donations and other fav-
ors, has permitted special privilege
to name the man to be in charge Of
the prosecuting machinery Of the gov
eminent.
The present attorney general is
George W. Wicl1ersham, whose last
act before taking charge of the gov
| eminent prosecuting machinery was
to draw down his share OF hand
some fee paid his law firm by the
sugar trust. When movemen
was started to bring about
a Congressional investigation OF
the sugar trust, Mr.. Wick
. | >ff b1yHh prpE.
ident Taft send message to Con-
gress advising against the investiga-
ton on the ground that it might give
Immunity to the men higher up and
otherwise embarass the administra-
ton. Although the trust practically
admitted having stolen over $4,000
900 from the government by return
n ing it after the crime was dis covered,
:, not a single one of the trust mag
mates into whose pockets the $4,000
d 900 would have gone had not the
theft been discovered, was called 10
bar of justice, much less punished
! Mr.. Wickersham permitted an under
ling secretary and a few dock hands
: to alone stand the vengeance of the
law. When American sugar interests
. purchased vast ira cts CT rich sugar
lands in the philippines in viola
ton of the law, Mr.. Wickersham
: again came to the rescue with an
5 opinion upholding the sale.
e Mr. Wickersham is now posing al
the great trust buster He pretends
that he will drive the trusts out O
business, and some Of the trusts pre-
. tend that they take his threats seri
y ously. But the record Of the attor
f ney general is not one that gives tht
people any reason to hope for en-
forcements of the law against criml
nal trusts or guilty trust magnates
n The first thing Mr.. Wickersham dit

he didn't believe the trust Officials

The extent of Wall streets grea
fear Of Mr. Wickersham as a prose

ANTI FUSION ELECTION LAWS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

A short time ago the legislature OF
the state Of New York passed an act,
which provided that any pers n
nominated by more than one political
party, or Independent bodies, could
have his name on the ballot but
once. The New York statute was
copied almost word for word from a
bill passed several years ago by q
partisan legislature Of this state. The
object Of both the Iowa and New
York statutes was to prevent fusion,
and by legislative jugglery make it
difficult for the members of two or
more parties to unite upon an accept
able candidate.
The court of appeals Of the state
of New York, which is the court OF
last resort in that state, handed dowr
unanimous decision on Tuesday OF
last week holding the New York stat
ute unconstitutional.
The following extract from the opin
| ion shows the principal reason upo1
which the opinion is based:
"We hold the statutory provision!
challenged 20 be unconstitutional be
cause they unnecessarily and sub
stantially discriminate between cleo
tors in the opportunities and facili
ties afforded for voting for. candidate
Of their choice.
| If the discrimination were trivia
our. decision would be different, bu
we, know from the election litigation
that have come before us that the
lis elimination here is Of a very Sub
| stantial character, and where votin,
machines are used the difficulty Q

than where voting is by ballot

lit is certainly partisan politics ant
It's presence among our statutes i
Iiiscreditable to the state.
If a majority of the voters OF Iowa
wish to elect some man to the Of
flee Of governor, or some other Of
| flee, the legislature has no moral o.
constitutional right to make it diff
| cult for them to record their wish In
he ballot boxes.
In an address delivered only a few
weeks ago, John Marshall Harlan
associate justice Of the United States
Supreme Court, speaking of the New
York court of appeals said:
II believe that there has never
oeen moment since the organiza-
ton of the Government of the Unit
ed States when that great court has
not exerted the very highest influ'
ence upon the judicial administr,'
ton of America"
Will the Influence of that great
court extend far enough to help Iowa
in the instant case?

Even in the far off Philippines the
impression prevails that William -
Taft will not succeed himself as
President. The Filipinos will be dis
appointed should Mr.. Taft be re-
elected, because lie is decidedly I'M.
popular over there because of his
attitude that the Filipinos should mo-
be given their independence within
the time of the present genera ton
Before MIR. Taft was elected Pres
ident of the United States the inhabT
itants of the Philippines knew him
much better than did the people OF
the United States. He had been the
governor general Of the Philippines,
and while his administration was
heralded in the United States as a
yery successful one, it was as mat
ter of fact very unsatisfactory to the
Filipinos.
The following letter from "A Fill
pino" calls attention to the fact thai
in the Philippines Mr. Taft was
known as "Mr. Facing Both Ways,
a title that some people would con-
slider appropriate Tor Mr. Taft as
President of the United States.
"When the experience of William
Taft as administrator in the Philip
pine Islands was urged by the pro-
motors of his candidacy as proof OF
his fitness for the office OF the
Presidency Of the United states'
those who mad Followed with some
attention the course of his admlnistra
ton in the Islands suggested that a
certain degree Of respect might be
paid to the verdict which had been
rendered upon it by its far away
subjects. That verdict was epitomlz-
ed in the familiar title, saddled up
on this estimable gentleman through
out the archipelago, of Mr.. FACING
Both Ways" 1t may be confidently
asserted that as President of the
United states none of his predeces-
sors have ever justified this eplthet
more completely.
"Jn the Presidential policy towards
the archipelago, Mr.. Taft on the one
hand promises lin his own good tlme'
the choice of Independence to us IN
habitants and on the other hand Is
urging forward the sale of great
tracts of land to non resident cap
talists for the exploitation OF Inc
wealth of the islands and to the GER
tain destruction Of any hope OF moe
pendence.
"Mr. Taft speaks officially through
tho mouths of his confidential ad-
yisers. through Secretary Balllnser'
Secretary Wilson, through Al
torney General Wickersham, and I'M
mediately denies the words and &C
lions for which, as his Official ana
personal representatives, he is direct
Nv responsible. He publicly de1ends
the systm of the civil service. Al
the same time, he uses the in1iu-
ence of patronage to punish the in
surgent republicans. Mr.. Taft, the
peacemaker, urges the fortif'cation
of the Panama canal, dispatches an
army to the borders of Mexico, fac
ing an imminent risk of internatlon-
al complications, and fosters the men-
acing increase Of the navy. Some OF
us NAV like this thing that he says
and does, and some may like the OPP
posite. But,-where Is Mr.. Taftg"

SPECIAL WASHINGTON CORES
PoNDENcE.
By Clyde H. Tayenner

POSTMASTER General Frank H.
Hitchcock has wheeled his famous
steam roller out Of the shed, whore i
las stood in repose since he used It
so effectively in flattening out oppos
ton to Mr.. Taft three years ago,
and is preparing to again run it back
and forth over those who oppose a
continuance of the Taft administra-
ton.
Mr.. Hitchcock is putting the ole
machine in order by the liberal use
OF ranking privilege oil. AS pre-
liminary to more extensive uge of the
roller later on, the Postmaster Gen
eral trying to smooth the roads Just
at present by permitting the White
House Press bureau, Of which Mr..
Taft's,, private Secretary, Mr.. Hilles,
is manager to send broadcast over
the country all the speeches the
President is making during his tour
Of the West.
Many Of these speeches were pre-
pared in advance, and although thu
President hasn't yet delivered some
of them, they all have gone out to
Republican editors, each with a re
lease notice.. On the outside of the
envelopes in which these speeches
are being sent is this tnsc1 ption:
THE WHITE HOUSE
Official Business.
Penalty for private use, $500.
Hitchcock has been known to
exercise supervision: over what the
various members o. congress send
out under their franks. On more
than one occasion, when some Cong
ressman has used his frank
to disseminate speeches made
outside of Congress and hav-
ing no relation to legislative
matters, the vigilant Postmaster Cen
eral has called the Offending states
man to account and warned him that
the franking privileges is to carry
official business only.
Under the Hitchcock system of
reasoning any speech Mr.. Taft makes
asking that the Republican admin
istration be continues in power, is
Official business within the mean
ing of the postal regulations.
Mr.. Hitchcock has let down the
postal bars in another particular, by
way of lending aid 70 the Taft press
bureau. Some tine ago the
President conceived that it would be
a good thing for him if all the law
yers Of the country could read his
denying the right of the PEG
pie Of Arizona t., have the recall.
So he had seveal thousand copies OF
this message printed, free of charge,
at the Government Printing office,
and the press bureau clerks are now
busy sending copies of it, under the
White House frank to as many law
yers as they can reach
Tie Taft administration has vir-
tually turned the White House into
a,political headquarters. Clerks arr
busy seeing that the various press
speeches, and other clerks are kept
busy seing to that the various press
bureaus which have headquarters
in the capital are supplied with all
sorts of literature DESIGNED to help
the President in his cam
paign for denomination.

TAFT WILL VETO
STATEHOOD BILL
Objection Made to Judicial
Recall Provision of Ari-
zona Constitution

Washington. Aug. Sword was re-
ceived at the capital today that
President Taft unquestionably will
veto the New Mexico and Arizona
statehood bill passed by the senate
last night. His objection is to the
judiciary recall feature which is in
the Arizona constitution.
The Democratic leaders of both the
house and the senate declare that they
could marshal enough votes to pass
the measure over the veto. The presi-
dent indicated some time ago that he
would take this action unless new
amendment was adopted. This amend
ment would have required the people
of Arizona as condition of state
hood, to vote down the provision in
their constitution for the recall of
judges. The amendment was defeated
and the senate bill as 1t came from
the house simply requiring that vote
be taken on the recall, was passed.

Newport, England, for Taxanto, Italy.
The crew of the latter rescued

THE COMMITTEE

Will Not Press Inquiry Into
Perkins Campaign Con-
etributionsas Present

Washington. Aug. 9.-The steel
trust investigating committee at an
executive session today decided not to
press at this time the question of cam
paign contributions in connection
with which George w. Perkins of New
York, director of the United States
Steel corporation, was yesterday
threatened with contempt proceedings
before the house of representatives.
The committee decided to require the
steel corporation to produce the
books Of the subsidiary companies.
The committees decision not to
press the inquiry into the campaign
contributions was based on the con-
clusion that the house resolution did
not give it authority to go into those
matters. 1t was said that. Represen-
tative Littleton of New York insised
that the committee would thus tran
scend its power.
Chairman Stanley refused to make
a statement. Some of the members
of the committee asserted that Per-
kins had been freed only from an
swering the question regarding his
personal contributions and that the
matter of the United States Steel cor
poration and the New York Life In
surance company campaign contribu-
tions had not been decided finally.

Frye who read them in the private
council of Mr.. Blaine's friends lit
tie while before grim necessity forced
Mr.. Blaine to read them to the coun-
try.
During his career in the United
States senate Mr.. Frye was always in
the front ranks in all political bat
ties and his brilliant oratory was
ever at the command of his party and
his state. With advancing years
Senator Frye gradually relinquished
his activity at the capitol and re-
signed from the fisheries committee
and one or two minor committees of
which he was member. He went
nimbly to the front, however, when
ever the interests of Maine or Of the
people of Maine were at stake and,
even in the last few years of his life
proved a strong and powerful cham
pion in the political arena. During
the last ten years his activity as a
legislator was largely confined to the
commerce committee, of which he
was chairman ever since the Demo-
Gratis lost control of the senate.
Every session he ground out batch
of legislation, much of which orig
mated in his committee, usually with
it's chairman.
Among the other members of the
senate Mr.. Frye always commanded
great respect and twice, in 1896 and
in 1901 he was honored by being
elected president pro tempore of the
senate. President Mckinley appoint
ed him one of the members of the
Paris peace commission to adjust the
terms of peace between Spain and the
United States. At the ST. Louis Re-
publican national convention in 1896
he was prominently mentioned as a
candidate for vice president. Mr..
Frye was. for many years, one of the
most enthusiastic advocates of ship
subsidies and never failed to break
lance in favor of the subsidy meas
ure which came up for consideration
in the senate from time to time. AL
though he was one of the oldest men
in the senate he did not show his age
so much as many of his younger col
leagues.
