No Cause for Alarm
Stock Cry of Republicans That Demo-
cratic Success Would Hurt Bust
ness Can Not be Used
This Year

! One of the stock arguments of the
Republicans in their campaign against
the Democrats for many years has
been the cry that Democratic victory
would mean injury to business. OF
, course there rs some "big business
which would suffer by the Inaugural
ton and enforcement of Democratic
laws but that legitimate business
would suffer by the passage of Demo-
cratic measures has always been de.
MED by the Democrats.
This year the Republicans are de-
priveds of their arguments because
the country has shown clearly that
| it is not alarmed over the assured
election of Woodrow Wilson. Indus
trial plants are working at their full
capacity and trying to get more men:
commercial travellers assert that their
business has never been betten; the
banks have plenty of money for legiti-
mate purposes and the business of the
country generally seems never. to have
been better than it has been since it
became apparent that Woodrow Will
son would be the next president of the
United States.
The Republicans have threatened
many man into voting the Republi-
can ticket in the past by predicting
business depression in the event of
Democratic success at the polls. But
this year Democratic success is al
ready assured and the business of the
country has demonstrated that 1t can
not be affected in any adverse way by
reason of this.

An excellent opportunity will be
| afforded in West Virginia this fall nc
establish a Iion-partisan Supreme
Court for which the people, regard
less OF party, have been clamori1le
| for so long. Not only have the PEG
pie been wishing for Supreme
Count free from partisan bias, but the
principal political parties have taken
| the matter up at different times and
| it has even been made portion Of
platform declarations.
Both parties are practically on rec
ord in favor of the non-partisan Su
preme Court and if they are sincere
in this matter there was never a
more opportune time to show their
sincerity than now The Democrats
have nominated for Supreme Court
judges two men whose records and
regulations as lawyers are beyond at
tack. They are admittedly among
the best lawyers in the state and ii
is conceded that they would make ex.
cellent judges. They are fair-minded
learned in the law, practitioners OF
long standing and one of them has
had an experience of nearly twenty
years upon the circuit bench with a
record not exceeded by that of any
Judge who ever sat in the state.
The Supreme Court consists of five
judges, two of whom are to be elect
ed at the November election The
Republican majority of the court
is assured, whether the two Demo
cratic candidates are elected or not.
Some of the larger Republican states
have made it a. practice for many
years to maintain non partisan SUI
preme Court and in Pennsylvania,
which is probably the strongest Re-
publican state in the Union, there is
always Democratic representation
on the Supreme Court. Many other
Republican states have Democrats on
their Courts and throughout the
country there is a general demand
that the judiciary be divorced from
politics.
West Virginia voters, with two
splendid Democratic candidates on
the ticket, now have the chance to
make non-partisan body out of the
Supreme Court by electing these two
splendid Democratic candidates for
Judges No better candidates have
ever been presented to the people by
the Democracy than those who are
offered this year, and if the people of
the state are sincere in their protest
that the highest tribunal in the state
should be kept separate and apart
from politics they have now an OPP
portunity to show their sincerity by.
a Democratic minority on the
Court, which is already Republ ican,
and will be so anyway whatever the
result of this years election.

expensive, and then pay It back to
them in wages Fhep doctrine of
the Democratic party has always
Ebeen, on the other hand, that Tthe
aim of government must first be to
make the masses prosperous, and that
the interests will then prosper as a
natural consequence; that the people
must first be taken care of, and then
the interests will be able TO look out
for themselves; that the only right
government is that which robs no
one, but protects all"
Partner of the Interests.
A partnership of fifty years stand
ing cannot easily be broken. The
Republican party has for fifty years
maintained a partnership with the in
teresfs, depends upon them for sup
port land maintenance and cannot
break with them without going to
pieces. 1t is not free to choose.
Those within it's ranks who revolt
inevitably create new party-start
a new party tradition. They fling
out ard virtually join the Democrats,
who are free from entangling alli-
ances, The sympathies and conf
dences Of the Democratic party are
with the masses of the people; it's
wish is to choose policies which will
be inthe interest of all, and is free to
do So
The policy of the Republican party
has made the power of the trusts
what it is. The tariff has become,
not means Of protection, but a
means of patronage. The tariff leg
is1ation of recent years has been de-
signed, not to effect a general and
healthy economic development and a
| fair extension and equalization of the
Opportunities of the people, but to Sc
cure profits to particular classes and
combinationsNof producers.
Having created trusts, the domi.
nant party has tried to regulate
them; but its regulation has threat
ened to transfer the actual control
of business to the Government itself,
and may in the long run only cement
the partnership and corrupt the Gov
eminent; only make it the more ne
cessary that the interests should
maintain the party and control the
Government.
What Democrats Stand For.
The Democratic party believes in
such revision of the tariff as will
take out of it every feature of pat.
ronage and special favor; as will base
it entirely on the need of revenue for
the Government and the wisest ad'
justment of the taxation involved to
the interests of the people. 1t be-

The National Taft Bureau. at the

During his last term of President,
Theodore Roosevelt recommended the
amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law, ostensibly to relieve farm
er's oranges and labor unions from
the provisions of the law. There was
however, Joker" in the bill which
permitted the large corporations In
the country to enter into agreements
which would have legalized some of
their illegal operations and have prac-
tically destroyed the Sherman anti
trust law. Bills to that end were in
troduced in the House of Represen-
tatives and in the Senate
Hearings were held on the House
bill before the House Committee on
the Judiciary and on March %, 1908,
a year before Mr. Roosevelt retired
from the White House, Seth Low
{ of New York, testified to the exact
authorship of the bill as follows: :,

LII Otner WORDS, Wn0n IneOQOr0
Roosevelt made up his mind to amend
the Sherman antitrust law in 1908,
he asked E. H. Gary, chairman Of the
board Of directors Of the Steel Trust,
and it's attorneys, Stetson and Nor
awetz to tell him how. Because OF
their support and because of the pro-
visions they proposed in it Congress
refused to let the proposed bill get
out of committee.
Today Mr.. Roosevelt fayors the Gary.
Perkins bill supplementing the Sher-
man antitrust law, which bill, IL en-
acted into law, would revise the gov
eminent to fit the trusts instead Of
revising the Trusts to fl. the Govern
ment In other words, the same old
combination is at work to Offset Presi-
dent Taft,s insistence upon an inn
partial enforcement of the Sherman
antitrust law-under which neither
the Steel Trust nor the Harvester
Trust shall receive favors-together
with such supplementary legislation
as may be necessary to enable the
Government to hold its advantage for
all time, once the courts have decid-
ed against any Trust.
