At the Massey rally las. week, a
transparency, bearing the ledgend
Remember '94. was carried in the
procession. Doubtless a good many
who saw it. did not know what il
meant. or what connection it had
with Senator Massey. For the
benefit of those not familiar with
the event in "a referred to by the
legend we give the following brief
sketch:
In the summer of 1894. Eugene
V. Eebbs, head of the American
Railway Union ordered a strike
and tied up for time the principal
railroads of the country. The
employees of the Southern Pacific
went out and for a month or more
no trains passed over the road.
United States troops were finally
sent out to open the road. During
the strike, property was DESTROYED
at Carlin and bridges and culverts
we're. burned east of town.
Following the opening of the
road. came the arrest of several
of the Carlin strikers. Their pre-
liminary examination was held at
Carlin and Attorney W. A. Massey.
now Senator Massey, and the late
Thomas Wren defended them.
Several were held to appear be-
fore the u. S. grand jury. They
were indicted and at their trial be-
fore Judge Hawley they were ac-
quilted. Remember '94" then
means that Senator Massey was one
of the attorneys that defended the
Carlin strikers in 1894.
For that service Senator Massey
charged fee which was paid. He
rendered good service and was paid
every dollar that he demanded.
But the value of that service as
a campaign asset has bobbed up
every time Mr.. Massey has beer a
candidate for office and has done
him good service. Whenever he
has been before the people since
1894, an appeal has been made TO
the labor element to support him
because he was one uf the
attorneys for the strikers in 1894.
Only two of the strikers, Mr..
Massey defended in 1894, are now
in Carlin. Both of them are demo-
Gratis and will vote for Key Pittman
this year. They have supported
Mr.. Massey heretofore when he has
heen candidate. They think
their ebt of gratitude has been
paid and Remember 90" does
not appeal to them with the force
1t has in past years. They propose
this year to vote for the man for
United States senator that repre-
sents their political principles.
IL the men who were defendend
by MIR. Massey in 1894 consider
their debt to him fully paid, his
service to the strikers of 1894
should have no influence with
democratic voters in 1919. There
are graver questions before the
people this year than that of re-
warding an attorney for services
rendered to clients in 1894, eigh-
teen years ago. No democratic or
independent voter should be in
fluenced to cast his vote for any
man, simply by the fact that he
defended number of men in 1894.
1t is time the cry o. Remember
"a" was wrapped in a shroud and
hidden from sight.

SHOOTING OF ely STRIKERS

The Elv Exposition tells the
following story Of the shooting
which took place at McGill a few
days ago:
During part Of the night and
early this morning the gate was
being guarded by William Allen
James McHenry and B. Amcs all
deputies under Sheriff Grain and
men who had hccn employed in the
works. About 1880 a Greek boss
around the converter part Of the
plant who goes by the name Of Jim
Brown came to the gate from inside
the ground. Seeing group Of
eight men stas ding near the office
building he went out to them and
asked If any Of them wanted to go
in Go work and started for the gate
between Brown and one of the
deputies. As they got 10 the gate
the other men composing the group
ale said TO have begun shooting.
The deputy claims that neither
he nor either Of the other officers
did any shooting but there were n

He has since that time twice
defeated the efforts of congress to
lower these rates.
He vetoed a bill Identical in all
respects one year ago upon, the
ground that the tariff board had
not yet investigated this
particular schedule.
The tariff board completed it's
investigation and made its repor

Congress and the country had a
right to expect the presidents ap-
proval of this legislation.
The duty on raw wool, fixed at
20 per cent ad valorem in the bill.
is only one-half of per cent lower
than tn. rate which is clearly de-
ducible from the findings of the
board as measuring the difference
in the cost of producing wool in
his and competing countries.
The duty on tops fixed by con-
gress in this bill is and fuur-ffth
per cent higher, on yarn per
cent lower. and or finished cloth IL
and six-tenths per cent higher than
corresponding rates computed
from the findings of President
Taft's Board.
Ev"n if there had been a very
substantial difference between the
findings of the board and the rates
fixed by congress, president
would not have been warranted
in vetoing a hill cutting to the
bone the duties in schedule
the rates of which are criminaIly
eXtortionate. The people petition
ed for reduction and protested
against these rates all through
the seven years that Roosevelt was
president, but he stood pat" with
Cannon and Aldrich, and the man

mated upon platform promising
tariff revision. He interpreted
that promise throughout his cam
paign to mean REVISION down
ward. The people So understood
the promise.
He could not have hecn elected
upon any other construction of
that platform promise. Within a
year he approved the Payne.
Aldrich bill increasing tariff duties.
He accepted the high rates fixed by
the Cannun-Aldrich congress with
out question. At that time no
tariff board was required to
sanction an increase of the tariff
burdens.
But when congress attempts to
reduce duties this newly created
tariff board seems to he con.
venience for stopping revision
downward. The difference of a
fraction of per cent in the an.
proximation of the board and the
deliberate action of Congress is
sufficient to block tariff reduction
on a schedule the rates of which
Taft himself has frankly admitted
to be "indefensible."

TAFT PLEASED BY
CAMPAIGN REPORTS
Declares He Will Compel the
Trusts to Obey the
Laws.

DALTON, Mass, Oct. before re-
Stunning his automobile journey into
Vermont President Taft, who was a
Sunday. issued a formal statement
declaring that he is satisfied in every
way with the progress of the cam
paign and especially ~jupilant over
the reports Of the trend of Repub-
lican sentiment that come into him
every day.
The reports from the Northwest,
the President said, r particularly
gratifying. The people in this part
of the country, he declared. are not
surpassed anywhere in the country
in intelligence, thrift and attachment
to American institutions. and the
farmers of that section of the coun-
try were never so prosperous as they
are now and are grateful to the Re-
publican party which has been the
cause of prosperity coming to them.
From the South and far West the
President said similar encouraging re-
ports have come. and from people in
all walks of life, all of whom express
their satisfaction at the existing con
ditions.
On the trust question the President
had this to say:
81 propose in dealing with the TRUST
question to keep the great combina-
tions of capital within exactly the
same control as the city or ross
roads grocery pays a Federal license
for selling cigars. / mean that both
shall obey the law. That's all. Sim
pie, is it not? The Sherman law has
been and will continue to be enforced
against all violators, however rich
and powerful they may be. l have
recommended national Incorporation,
without infringing on the right of the
States to tax corporate pi property, but
such Incorporation would not sus-
pend or nullify in any degree the
Sherman law or any other law
against monopoly in restraint OF
trade.
81 am utterly opposed TO the pro-
posal to have IN interstate trade com
mission fixing prices and otherwise
exercising control over business af-
fairs. Such a control, because dis
Bulucu ny law, Dul ny PSI oondi OiS
erection, would be both despotic and
socialistic. and no reader of history
needs to be told that the two terms
have a very close relation. 1t was not
a broad step from the convention 70
Napoleon. In a government of law
no individual, no combination. can
be above the law. Outside of that Is
either anarchy or tyranny, or one
followed by the other. This must al
ways be a government Of law"

C%HURCHGOERS SEE MANY
FRIENDS TAKEN IN RAIDS
Alleged Speakeasies and Gam
bling Resorts Pounced On.

SOMERVILLE, Oct. Twenty
four .well-known men of Somerset
county had a free automobile ride to
the county Jail yesterday as the re-
suit of raids made by County Detec-
tive Totten and five deputies on
s~peakeasies and gambling in stores
in Raritan, Somerville and Bound
Brook.
The arrests have caused a sensa-
ton, as Somerset county was believed
to be closed tighter on Sunday than
any other county in the State.
Hundreds of people coming out of
the churches along Main street in
Raritan saw neighbors Carried out OF
town as prisoners in automobiles.
The men had been caught in raids
made just before noon on the River
view Hotel and Solmini's French bak-
cry.
The men caught in the bakery had
heretofore been considered exemplary
family men. They YER seen coming
from the establishment every Sunday
carrying packages of cakes and ice
cream for their families; but when
tn place was raided a crowd OF
family men, were caught in a rear
room drinking beer and whiskey.

7. R. IS WH|RL|NG
BACK WEST AGAIN
Colonel Holds Long Conference
With Advisers Before Leav-
ing Oyster Bay.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Celonel Roose-
welt starts today on another crusade
into the West, which will keep him
going until next Saturday.
His schedule for the week includes
speeches at Saginaw, Mich, on Tues
day; at Houghton, Mich, on Wednes-
day; at Duluth, Mimi, on Thursday;
at Oshkosh, Wis, on Friday and at
Chicago on Saturday.
Yesterday the colonel was in con
ference with his campaign advisers
at his Oyster Bay home. With the
colonel were: Governor Hiram w.
Johnson, of California, nominee for
Vice-President: Frank A. Munsey,
George W. Perkins. chairman OF the
executive committee of the National
Progressive party; Senator Dixon,
chairman of the national campaign
committee; Oscar S. Straus. nominee
for governor of New York, and Emlen
Roosevelt, cousin Of the colonel.
The results of the conference were
highly gratifying to the Bull Moose
leaders. Reports received seemed to
show that there Is a steady growth OF
Progressive sentiment in most States,
with no weakening at any point. The
colonel himself seems certain that he
will win. The confidence of the tick
cts head and his advisers, however,
will not lessen their activity before
election, as the coloneps start on this
weeks whirlwind tour of the middle
West shows.
The colonel's advisers did not seem
to take much stock in the reported
growth of Taft sentiment. The way
they size up the situation is<about as
follows: Democrats are deserving
Governor Wilson by hundreds. but
very few of them are turning to Pres
ident Taft.

WHEN A FACTORY CAN'T SHUT DOWN.

OvERNOR MARSHALL of Indiana, serves notice on
MT manufacturers in his State that if they close their fac
tories he will have them prosecuted under the corrupt
practises act. AS the Governor is candidate for Vice President
this declaration would seem to sound like a threat. Evidently
the Governor means that a manufacturer will be prosecuted if
he closes his factory prior to the election. But can the statutory
law forbid a man to do in his private business in October what
he can freely do in November or December? And can the statute
law, anyhow, prevent a man stopping to take stock, or make
repairs, or because of slack orders, or for any other cause, at
any period of the year? And how can a criminal statute be
stretched TO reach such a manufacturer?

WILSON'S

DENVER, Col, Oct. 7.-Governor
Wilson's special a is speeding in
the direction of this city today from
Lincoln, Neb., where the Governor
spent Sunday with William Jennings
Bryan. The train will arrive here
late today, after making frequent
stops to permit the Democratic a
didate to speak.
After leaving MI. Bryan's home at
Fairview, where they conferred late
Saturday night and nearly all day
yesterday, Governor Wilson said that
details had not been discussed; that
he and Mr.. Bryan had merely spoken
of the necessity Of devoting more
time to the States in which Colonel
Roosevelt is working.
I'VE agreed upon a method Of
handling the mountain States. That
is as far as we got" he added.
Governor Wilson said he did not
believe it would be possible for him
to go to the Pacific coast.

MANUFACTURERS OF SILK
FIND TARIFF REAL ISSUE

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Prominent
silk manufacturers, discussing John
Wanamaker's letter to the business
men of the country, urging Taft and
top wave of prosperity" agree that
the tariff is the vital issue of the
campaign.
Lewis Schoolhouse, head of the silk
converting firm of Charles School
house & Son, says that he will sup
port MIR. Taft in order that the pres
ent prosperity may continue undis-
turbed. Mr.. Taft, he says. is nc
n~oisemaker, but a safe, conservative
executive.
Albert Firsch, of Pilgrim & Meyer
who have silk mills at Paterson and
Boonton, says the real issue of the
campaign is the tariff. He sees in the
Bull Moose's tariff commission idea
the way to handle the question. He
declares that only by painstaking in
vestigation can proper schedules bt
framed.

AN EMBARRASSING POINT.

ERSEYMEN travelling in other States have frequently met
cU the jibe that New Jersey was a harbor and refuge for
all the predatory trusts of the land, and they had to
admit it's justice and had no defense to make. New Jersey
representatives in Congress, tainted with the same reproach
upon their State, could only make answer that they were neither
Governor nor Legislature and had nothing TO do with the making
or a reform Of the State laws. 1t is, therefore, nos surprising
that Governor Wilson should be embarrassed in his campaign
by criticisms of his trustridden State. Why, it is asked, has
the Governor done nothing to reform the States corporation
laws, and with what consistency can he speak of the Roosevelt
administration when that administration was the first to en-
force the antitrust act made necessary by the corporation laws
of New Jersey? Could there be a fairer field for genuine war on
the trusts than New Jersey, their corporate home? As one critic
of the Governor puts it, "The chief charterer of trusts finds fault
with national administrations because there are trusts. Not
since Satan soemnly rebuked sin has there ever been anything
more palpably incongruous!'
