Bench at the Same Time.

Bismarck, N. D., April 29.-Judge
Frank E. Fisk arrived in the capitol
city Thursday afternoon having been
called to Bismarck to sit on the su-
preme bench while three cases are BE-

Goss is disqualified. This brings the
state supreme court into an unique
situation.
Probably for tho flrst time In the

none could be brought to mind. Judge
Frank Fisk took his place with the su-

have the North Dakota supreme jur-
lists set a precedent which will un-

A VISIT TO THE HOME OF HON.
THOS. e. WATSON, NEAR FORT
LAUDERDALE.

Sunday, in company with Mr.. S. H.
Watson, we paid this distinguished
son of Georgia, this famous son Of the
Republic visit. And it proved to be
a most pleasant visit. We had only
known Mr.. Watson through reading
his paper and magazine, and some
correspondence. We had heard him
praised by his friends and much
abused by his enemies, who have
done and are doing all they can to
traduce him in every way possible.
But we feel that he is safe Truth
crushed to earth will rise again.
Mr.. Watson received us with old
time Southern hospitality, and is q
splendid type of the Southern Gentle
man. We listened to him as he dis
cussed the various questions brought
up, and were charmed, for behind
his argument we could see sincerity.
While he is a good talker, he is also
a good listener, and likes to have
others express their views on public

THE RSONIAN

What right have Knox and Meyer to give
these secrets to the Steel Trust and the Ar
gentine Republic?
Why have they the CHIT to do what would
cause an officer of the navy courmartial and
disgrace?
The Lorimer case will soon be before the
Senate, and the additional evidence now COM
ing to light at Springfield Ill, will force that
body to eXpel Lorimer, or the Senate will 90
on record as sanctioning the election of its
members by corruption and bribery.
H. II. Kohlsaat, publisher of the Chicago
Rec0rd-Hera7d is the man to whom most of
the credit is due for getting the latest evidence
against Lorimer.
When he published the fact that Lorimer's
election cost 100000, he was summoned be-
fore the Illinois Senate bribery investigation
committee, and while it is true that Mr.. Kohl
satt refused to violate confidence by naming
the person who gave him the information, his
evidence had its weight.
But during the last week the case against
Lorimer has been made even stronger for Mr.
Kohlsaats informer has released him from his
confidential obligation, and the names of the
parties in the whole transaction have been
given to the investigating committee.
Here is the way the whole thing was done:
Lorimer was elected at a cost of 100000.
Soon after the election the manager of the In
ternatiOnal Harvester Company met Edward
Hines, the lobbyist, and Hines told him that
they had put Lorimer in 'but it cost us $780,
900 to do it."
Hines was to reimburse those who had furn-
ished the 100000 by collecting $4,000 each
from ten men. The International Harvester
people were on Hines list for $4,000 of the
reimbursement fund, and that is why Hines
told the Harvester Company's manager, Funk,
the whole transaction.
According to Funk, when he asked Hines
"whv he came to us?" Hines reply was:
''Well, you are as much interested as any one
in having the right kind Of a man in Wash
ington." The 100000 reimbursement fund
was to be handed over to Edward Tilden, con-
nected with the Chicago stock yards.
And this is the same Lorimer that Senator
Bailey made such fight for a month ago.
If the odor of oil were not still on Mr..
Bailey's skirts his defense of the Interests
tool, Lorimer, would be enough to queer him
with all fair minded people,
And, by the way, Mr.. Bailey may not have
such an easy time keeping his own place in
the Senate
The opinions of the best lawyers are that
when Bailey flew into a rage and handed in
his resignation to the governor of his state,
that ended Mr.. Bailey's term as United States
Senator.

bent on doing their duty

Congress is in session.
Hon. Champ Clark of Missouri. is the new
Speaker; Hon. James r. Mann, of Illinois. is
the new Republican leader, while Old Joe
Cannon hangs on as private in the rear
ranks.
The Democratic program, as outlined by the
Democratic caucus, is as follows:
Resolved That the Democratic members of the
various committees of the House directed not
to report to the House during this first session of
the Sixty-second Congress, unless hereafter
directed by this caucus, any legislation except in
reference to the following matters:
/. Election of United States Senators by vote of
the people.
2. Legislation referring to the publicity of cam
paign contributions before and after election.
5. The Canadian reciprocity agreement, general
tariff legislation, and legislation affecting the
revenues of the government.
4. The reappOrtionment of the House to con-
form to the thirteenth
5. Resolutions of inquiry and resolutions touch
ing upon Investigations of the executive depart
ments
6. The admission of the Territories of Arizona
and New Mexico
7. Any deficiency bills that the exigencies of
the government may require to be considered at
this time and bill to correct the enrolling of the
appropriation bill passed March 4, 1911.
8. Legislation relating to the District of Co.
lumbia.
The program is very good, but it must be
carried through or the Democrats will not
make good.
For years the Democrats have been noted
for their blunders-for their incapacity to
govern and lack of disci pline
Unless this Congress shows capacity where
former Democratic majorities have shown IN
capacity, the hopes of electing a Democratic
President in 1912 are forlorn.
The Democratic party is now on trial and
the people will render a verdict on what the
Democratic Congress does at this session.
Another proof of Secretary Knox's dllegi-
ance to the Steel Trust has come to light.
Some time ago the Steel Trust secured the
contract to build battleships for the Argentine
Republic through the Secretary of State
through what is known as Knoxs Dollar
Diplomacy.
And it now comes out that Knox secured
these contracts for the Steel Trust by giving
to the Trust and the Argentine Republic the
secrets of American battleship construction.
IF an officer of the navy had been found
guilty of giving to any foreign country such
secrets he would have been imprisoned or
dismissed from the navy, disgraced.
But the Secretary of State and the Secre-
,tary of the Navy publicly admit that they did
so, and they go UNPUBLISHED.

PAGE THIRTEEN

The United States Supreme Court has just
handed down decision which will 90 a long
way toward curling the Patent Medicine
Trust, for under this decision druggist may
sell ''cure-all- ills" remedy at a cut rate if
he wishes to do so.
Some time ago the DR.. Miles Medical Co.,
of Elkhart, Ind, sought to force all druggists
to sell their remedies at the regular contract
prices-not caring to have their remedies 90
into the hands of the consumer at a reduced
rate.
But the Supreme Court says the pill people
are wrong. IF the druggist who buys the
goods from a wholesaler wishes to retail them
at a less cost than that marked on the box or
bottle, he may do so.
The Supreme Courts decision in this case
is one of real Importance mainly for the prin-
ciple involved.
While few of us care about the price of
Miles pills, yet the questions passed upon by
the court are far-reaching
If patent medicine concern had the right
to make a druggist sell package at the price
marked on the package and no other, even
though the druggist had paid the patent medi-
ciae concern for it, where would it end
IF patent medicine company had a right
to do this, why wouldn't the Beef Trust have
a right to mark prohibitive price on a bucket
of lard, strip of bacon or any of its other
products and forbid a grocer or butcher to sell
it for less than the price marked on the pack
age?
The Court also reversed former ruling as
to a railroad company owning coal mines
through holding or "dummy" company.
The former decision of the court held the
commodities clause" of the Hepburn law was
constitutional, but that railroad company
could own stock in a coal company shipping
over it's lines. In other words the court held
that a railroad company could do exactly
what the commodities clause of the Hep
burn law intended that it should not do.
But under the last decision, the court holds
that railroad company cannot own stock in
a coal company shipping over its line.
This decision sustains the commodities
clause" of the Hepburn law, and if the govern
ment is so anxious to break the combination
of the big coal carrying railroads, it now has
the weapon with which to do the work.
Now that the Department of Justice is no
longer held in leash, let Mr.. Wickersham get
after the big hard-coal carrying railroads be-
fore the hardships of next winter are upon
the poor of our big cities.
A real effort to prosecute Charles Baer, and
a few other Hard-coal Trust officials will
show the Department of Justices sincerity in
its claims of wanting to 'bust" the big
Trusts.
