trusts "could'' be reached. The real
important question is: Why is it
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 republican machine, and for
fourteen years the republican ma
chine, in recognition of campaign
fund donations and other favors, has
permitted special privilege to name
the man to be in charge of the pros
ecuting machinery of the government.
The present attorney general is
George Wickersham, whose last act
before taking charge of the govern
ment prosecuting machinery was to
draw down his share of handsome
fee paid his law firm by the sugar
trust. When a movement was
started to bring about a congressional
investigation of the sugar trust, Mr..
Wickersham headed 1t off by having
President Taft send message to con-
gress advising against the investiga-
tion on the ground that it might give
immunity to the men higher up and
otherwise embarass the administra-
tion. Although the trust practically
admitted having stolen over $4,000
900. from the government by return
ing it after the crime was discovered,
not single one of the trust magnates,
into whose pockets the 100000
would have gone had not the theft
been discovered, was called to the
bar of justice, much less punished.
Mr.. Wickersham permitted an un-
derling SECRETARY and a few dock
hands to alone stand the vengeance
of the law. When American sugar
interests purchased vast tracts of rich
sugar lands in the Philippines in
violation of the law, Mr.. Wickersham
again came to the rescue with an
opinion upholding the sale.
Mr.. Wickersham is now posing as
the great trust buster. He pretends
that he will drive the trusts out of
business, and some of the trusts pre-
tend that they take his threats seri-
ously. But the record of the attor-
ney general is not one that gives the
people any reason to hope for en-
forcement of the law against criminal
trusts or guilty magnates. The first
thing Mr.. Wickersham did upon
taking Office was to drop important
suits against members of the beef
trust. His explanation was that he
didn't believe the trust officials
meant" to do wrong. ..
The extent of Wall streets great
fear of Mr. Wickersham as a prose-
cutor of trust magnates Is indicated
by the remark of j. P. Morgan, who,
when he was asked by a newspaper
man what he thought of the attorney
| generals great antitrust speech
which had been delivered more than
a week previous, replied: 81 don't
think anything about it, because
haven't read it,"

Colville Examiner, September 80:

Colville Examiner, September 80:
Have you ever noticed that the
Colville Examiner is the only paper
in Stevens county which devotes any
editorial space to national or party
politics throughout the year, but
that when election time rolls around
the other papers wake up and loudly
support the republican tickets regard
less of men or policies? The Exami-
ner sometimes wonders If the other
papers in the county really have any
politics. If store doesn't advertise,
you don't expect 1t to carry much of
a line of goods Now 1t may be that
the trend Of political affairs makes 1t
dangerous for supposedly repub-
lican paper to say anything about the
actions of it's party, and in that case
the papers may be excusable. Or
then it may be that the papers are
about to turn to the democratic side,
whose success at the next presidential
election seems quite imminent. Or
then, it may be that republicanism
in this county is purely for the pur-
pose of putting certain men into
county Office for the monetary gain
which results to the certain few who
manage to incumber the Offices year
after year.
Statesman-Index:
In talking politics all the time, Red
Top is entitled to all the glory that
comes his way on that account. His
statement that the other papers Of the
county cannot have any politics is a
Joke. The fact that the Examiner
has been talking politics year in and
year out would seem to lend color to
the theory that Red Top hasn't any
influence, for with one exception
every official in Stevens county is
republican. And had 1t not been for
an unpleasant incident every official
would have been a republican. There
Is nothing more disgusting than the
preacher who is everlasting telling
how good he is and what church he
breaches for. The fellow who goes
to a baseball game and plays the
game over in his conversation for the
next few days is a contemplate nui-
sance. The person who does any one
thing and can talk about nothing else
is bore. There is time for politics
and when that time comes the States
man-Index will talk politics. In the
meantime should anybody be mislead

While President Taft is travelling
over the country making political
speeches, his press bureau In Washing
ton Is working overtime sending out
copies Of these speeches to the news
papers under the presidents official
frank. On the upper left hand corner
of the envelopes in which these
speeches are mailed Is this inscrip-
tion: white House-Oflcial Busi-
ness-Penalty for private use, $500"
Not only has Postmaster General
Hitchcock let down the postal bars
in this particular, but the White
House virtually has been turned into
a political headquarters. Clerks are
busy sending out advance copies of
speeches delivered and yet to be de-
livered by the president, while others
see to it that the various press bu-
reaus are supplied with all sorts of
literature designed to help the presi-
dent in his campaign for renomina-
tion.
In one way President Taft has a
cinch on us all, for he can make US
all contribute to his campign ex-
penses by making the government
pay them.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-10-21

The president has been in the west.
The people have listened to his de-
fense. And they still believe he did
wrong in vetoing the honest efforts
of both branches of congress to re-
duce the awful cost of living in the
United States.
Such is the tenor Of the news that
has come over the wires from the
special correspondents who either
accompanied or trailed Mr.. Taft on
his 1900 mile swing.
Arthur Henning, Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune,
interviewed hundreds of westerners
and found that the people generally
liked Mr.. Taft personally but alb
solutely disapproved his record as
president.
Angus McSween, the celebrated
Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American (also
republican,, wired from Topeka,
Kansas, as follows:
President Taft did not make a
dent in the surface of strong
progressive sentiment in the state
of Kansas during his visit here"
1t developed, too, that great many
men, in all walks of life, candily
admitted that next year they proposed
to vote for democrat for president,
Notwithstanding they always before
had voted for republican. A great
many Of these referred to the mag
nificient record the democrats made
in congress last session, and frankly
admitted that since the democrats
had shown real ability to govern,
and govern well, 1t was no mo 'e than
their due that they should be given
greater responsibility.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-10-21

Chairman Ben johnson, of the
democratic district committee of con-
gress, has discovered that the Dis
trict of Columbia once borrowed
twenty-one million dollars from the
government, and forgot to pay 1t
back. He now proposes to collect
this debt. In consequence, the
Washington real estate trust is in
Mysteries. In the capital city the
government pays half of the city ex-
penses, hence taxes are low Despite
this fact, and the further fact that
hundreds of houses are unoccupied,
rents and property values are higher
than in any other city of the size in
the country Besides the real estate
dealers, the idle rich, who come to
Washington and build social palaces,
are calling Chairman Johnson a
despot.

by Red Tops hot air, we will say that
the Statesman-Index is republican,
first. last and all the time.
Marcus Messenger:
Red Top apparently believes in
keeping the pot boiling. There was
time when we thought it necessary
to shoulder the worlds troubles, but
now We are prone to shy from any
needless responsibilities. At 1t is,
the records of the doings of a real
live community just about keeps us
busy.
