Why Gov. Hughes Was Appointed
to the Supreme Bench.

"Ay WV AAOaANS WoO EAPpOAALCN
to the Supreme Bench.
Is~it any wonder the people are
losing confidence in courts when a
member of the supreme court of the
United States virtually admits that
he was appointed to represent the
Republican party in that tribu-
nal? Here is the evidence, con-
nected and conclusive printed in
this weeks Conlmoner:
Those who want to know why
Governor Hughes was appointed to
the supreme bench can find it in
the speech made last week by Mr..
Perkins, until recently a partner of
j. Pierpont Morgan, Mr.. Perkins
says that Governor Hughes was the
man put forward in 1908 to repre-
sent the Republican partys posi-
ton on the trust question and that
Governor Hughes, in his speech at
Youngstown, Ohio, construed the
Republican promise to amend the
antitrust law as follows: In our
progress we must avoid false steps.
Ours must be The Rule of Reason
etc.
Mr.. Perkins says: The only
vestige of keeping faith with the
people on anything involved in
this campaign, and as discussed in
the campaign; is found in the SUI
preme courts recent decisions,
wherein the rule of reason" is ap-
piled, and in connection with this
significant facts are the following
sentiments of THE Youngstown
speech of Governor Hughes, for the
the past year a member of the SUI
preme court:
But In our progress
we must seek to avoid false steps.
Ours must be the rule of reason,
clear eyed, calm, patient and stead
fast; defeating the conspiracies of
intrigue and escaping the pitfalls of
folly. Supreme must be the sense
of justice, with its recognition of
our mutual dependence"
Here we have it. Governor
Hughes was put forward to repre-
sent the Republican party; he as
sured the trusts that the rule of
reason for which they had been
waiting for ten years would be
adopted. Congress refused to keep
the promise, so Governor Hughes
was put on the supreme bench and
helped to Amend the Law In Ac-
cordance With The Republican
Promise and now President Taft, in
whose interest the promise was
made and who appointed Governor
Hughes, says the antitrust law as
amended by the court must not be
disturbed.
Here is chain of circumstantial
1. evidence sufficient to convict in a
criminal court, and yet some of our
Democrat leaders are willing to al
low this gigantic conspiracy to be
carried outl Can they be trusted
to represent the Democratic senti-
ment of the county,"

What Will 1t BE This Year?

Every year just before the harvest
season the representatives of the in
surance combine have published and
circulated some new story misrepre-
senting this Association for the pur-
pose of intimidating the grain grow
els against insuring with it and thus
compel them to insure in the COM
panies composing the combine. Some
such story of intimidation will un-
doubleday be sprung again this year
What will it be?
THESE companies have always
claimed that the rates were on a
strictly scientific basis; that any
company was unreliable and would
go broke that made a less rate. The
changes in their exact science since
the competition of the Northwestern
was encountered has been very strik-
ing. 1t is apparent that their scien-
titic cost decreases in about the same
proportion that competition in
~0'' 10 II SCIeuCe Ut com petl-
ton that has caused their reduction
in rates? If science only, then why
is it still necessary to charge double
the rates in California where they
have not had the competition of this
Association? Do they think any
rate they can offer will regain this
business and thus enable them to go
back to the rates they are still charg-
ing where they have less competi-
ton? If so they miscalculate, for
no bait they can offer will induce the
majority of the farmers to return
to those who bled them as long as
they could and for all they could.
They underestimate the Intelligence
of the average farmer if they think
he cannot see through their little
game.
The policy holders of the North
western Mutual Fire Association own
the company and thereby get their
insurance at actual cost. 1t is GER
tain that no stock company paying
twice the commission to get the bust
ness can furnish it for less than this
organization of $4,000 property own
ers.
Again, the method originated by
the Northwestern of insurig the
grain until sold, wherever located
and thus avoid paying short rates in
both field and warehouse is the only
method tht fulfills the farmers
needs. F. J. MARTIN,
Secretary.

1t is reported that several resi-
dents of this city have paid good
money to the promoters of the Jovita
Heights tracts, supposed to be To-
Gated near Seattle. The promoters
of the project were placed under ar
rest on warrants sworn out by Ben
jamin Bell, of Pullman, who was
one of the Pullmanites to put money
into the project, on a charge of using
the mails to defraud, he claiming
that the property is not as repre-
sented by the promoters.
Lots in Jovita Heights were sold
at $140 each, payments being $40
down and $40 a month until paid
for. 1t was announced that several
$4,000 houses would be erected on
certain lots, and that one out OF
every twenty purchasers would be
awarded one of these house at a
drawing to be held by the company
Mr.. Bell claims that the whole
scheme is a fraud and that the pro.
motors have beaten purchasers al
over the Northwest out of an amount
aggregating nearly 100000.

dents Attend.

school session being conducted at the
State College has broken all previous
records, nearly $50 students being
already enrolled 1t is expected that
this number will be considerably in
creased during the next week as

sion is the large mum Der of school

in school administration, under Dr.
Cleveland,ts popular one with the
heads of schools, the enrolment in
that class alone being three times
greater than at any previous ses-
sion.

lessor Charles Timblin, who has ad-
vertised the session thoroughly in all
parts of the state.
