Caution

Chicago. Sept. 1.-THE heavy fog.
described by the local weather bu-
reau as the worst Chicago has ex-
perienced in years, lifted this morn
ing after hanging over the city for
twelve hours and causing serious in
terruption of all kinds of traffic.
Steam railroads, street cars and lake
boats were compelled to use the ut
most caution in their movements. In
many outlying parts of the city wo-
men telephoned the police station for
patrolmen to act as escorts, the wo-
men being afraid to venture on the
way home alone. -Four persons were
injured as result of collisions be-
tween street cars and vehicles.

ANTI TRUST CASES
Supreme Court Will Throw Light OF
Sherman Law.

Washington, Sept. 11.-More light
on the application of the Sherman
antitrust law to the business of the
day is expected from the supreme
court Of the United States shortly
after the opening Of its session next
month.
Several antitrust cases advanced
for consideration by the tribunal are
being relied upon to give the court
greater opportunity than that afforded
in the recent Standard Oil and Tobac-
co decision to interpret the law and
to impress upon the country how the
court proposes the law should be en-
forced.
1t is planned by the court in the
first month of its session to hear ar
guments in the so-called hard coal
case" the "cotton corner case" and
the "St. Louis bridge case" Possibly
later in the session the court may con-
slider the so-called ''turpine trust
case"
Each involves knotty problems

the various states will be discussed
such as the question of the regula-
tion Of public utility corporations,

ernment to punish alleged violations
of the Sherman antitrust law. With
the exception Of the so-called "tur-
pentine case" the government has
been defeated In the lower court and
has appealed to the supreme court to
uphold its Interpretation Of the law.
The "hard coal case" constitutes a
governmental attack on the principal
anthracite coal carrying railroads and
coal owning companies in Pennsyl-
vanfa. 1t Is claimed that since 1895
these companies have been parties to
a combination and conspiracy with
the object Of ending competition
among themselves in the transporta-
tion and sale of anthracite coal and
of preventing the sale of the inde-
pendent output In competition with
their own.

SAYS PRESIDENT
IS MISTAKEN
Ninety Per Cent of the States
Now Have Uniform Di-
vorce Laws

Chicago. Sept. 11.-According to
John G. Richberg, president of the
Illinois commission on uniform state
laws, President Taft is seriously mis-
taken on the subject of uniform di-
vorce. Mr.. Richberg's statement to-
day was brought out by the announce
ment that Mr.. Taft will discuss the
divorce question freely while on a
lO,OOO-mile tour beginning next FRI
day, and will urge the necessity of a
uniform law.
In more than ninety per cent of the
states OF the union, according to Mr..
Rfchberg, there now is uniformity of
legislation on the "crux of the divorce
question, namely, causes for divorce"
Where the president is mistaken"
said Mr.. Richberg, sis that he is evil
IDENTIFY not aware that uniform di-
vorce law was prepared and adopted
by congress on divorce composed
of delegates of the respective states
who We're appointed for that special
purpose in 1906, and who formulated
uniform divorce code which was sub
sequently adopted by the conference
! of commissioners on uniform state
laws.
This divorce code contains all of
the features to which the president
has made reference, and has a provis-
ion that no divorce shall be absolute
until after year has expired from the
entering Of the decree, thus absolutely
prohibiting marriage within that
period in any state. The code also
has most excellent features against
what are known as migratory d.
vorces, as 1t requires a residence of
two years before proceedings can be
instituted.
Regarding the crux of the divorce
question-namely, causes for divorce
the code names six, and they were
then and now are legally in force in
more than ninety per cent of the states
of the union-adultery, bigamy, felony,
cruelty, desertion and drunkenness.
"The president undoubtedly will be
doing a good work by calling public
attention to the necessity of the diff
ferent states adopting the uniform di-
vorce code as whole, action which
has already been taken by the states
of New Jersey, Delaware and Wiscon-
sin. trust that the president es-
|pecially will see that the code Is adopt
ed in the District Of Columbia. This
would have most marked and effec-
tive influence in the different states
of the union and BRING about what the
president advocates, particularly as
such a law would be enacted by the
national house and senate, represent
ing as nearly as possible the average
sentiment OF the whole American peo-
pie"

harmon ATTACKS
THE TAFT vETOES
Ohio Democratic Presidential
Candidate Sounds Keynote
Of His Campaign,

Boston. Sept. 11.-President Taft's
attitude toward tariff reform was at
sacked BY Governor Harmon of Ohio
saturday night In speech before the
gathering OF Democratic clubs. Gov,
ernor Harmon said that the presi-
dents course, in -vetoing tariff bills
passed by the special session. OF con-
gress indicated that he had been
reached by wrong advisors" Speak,
ing Of the presidents objections to
these. bills he said: These and other
marks Of paternity suggest the ques-
tfon whether the vetoes may not have
been adopted offspring, like the de-
tense Of Ballinger."
"He needed no commissioner" said
the speaker, when he promised a
general reduction before his election,
nor when he called the special session
to keep the promise, nor when he
signed the bill that broke the prom.
ise. nor when he confessed that the
Woolen and cotton goods duties were
too high. nor when he made agreement
with Canada. His position is simply
that those who by the trickery of tar
III making have secured a license to
impose exorbitant prices on the Amer
lean people shall go on doing It, in
spite Of the action of both houses of
congress, until five men who are not
responsible to the people, nor even
experts. shall advise him how much
these favor taxes ought to be reduced
and how to do it scientifically. He
admits they are too high on these alb
Solute and universal necessities of
life, but he fears these bills may have
cut them too much. All the men.
women and children in the land must
continue to suffer an admitted wrong
which affects health and comfort
rather than run any rick Of causing
too much shrinkage in profits made
excessive by law. The people must
not even have the benefit of the doubt.
If the present tariff charges had
been fixed merely without proper
knowledge and skill 1t could we'll be
said that an 'unscientiflc' remedy is
good enough for an unscientiflc
wrong, especially when those who ap-
ply the remedy have the advantage
Of dealing with actual results while
those who did the wrong acted only
on conjecture. But the Payne-Aldrich
law had far worse sire than igno-
rance. And 1t 1S q reflection on our
plan Of government to say that the
fragrant iniquities Of that law shall

knowledge and honest purpose until
commission without legal respon-
sibility or authority shall decide how
the duly chosen law making body may
deal with them.

II believe in the veto power. But
It is to be employed only on the clear
and positive conviction Of the execu-
tive that the public interest so re-
qujres. He is allowed ten days to
consider and decide. II he remains
in doubt at the end Of that time ac-
tion Of his part is dispensed with and
the judgment Of the legislative body

president to defeat the action Of con-
gress. especially when 1t follows the
plain mandate Of the country, merely
because he is not certain about it him

else to advise him, is new and peril

at the Augusta Fair.

The Augusta Chronicle says one
or the most attractive displays at
The Georgia-CarClina fair, dem
onstrating possibilities on a small
tarm, is the individual exhibit of
5. T. Adams, of South Carolina,
who is a small farmer. The ex-
plantations accompanying the dis
play furnish n lesson that could
wen be studied by any visitor who
is interested in modern farming.
The exhibit is made entirely
from Mr.. Adams small farm, which
makes it more worthy of note in
the estimation of visitors. In il
are found corn, hay. sweet and Ir-
ish potatoes, meal flour, ham. ba-
. con, canned goods of all kinds. do
nestle food of all kinds. the ex-
hibit being complete in every way.
1t shows that the small farm pos
stb!littcS around Augusta are great
and there is really no limit to
what may be accomplished Mr..
Adams friends are cOugratulating
him upon the award of second
premium for this exhibit.
Ar. Adams was awarded the first
prize en- baled cotton. He only
/ raised two bales of cotton and en-
tered one and got the blue ribbon.
