law firm of Strong & Cadwalader.
Congressman Henry 7. Rainey
described this firm on the floor of
the House of Representative as
follows:
"The firm of Strong & Cad
walader is one of these important
New York legal firms to which
great corporations appeal for aid
when they propose to violate the
laws of the land or when they have
violated the laws of the land"
The firm of Strong & Cadwalader,
at the time of Mr.. Wickersham' s
appointment as attorney general,
represented, among other great
corporations, the sugar trust, and
one of the last things Mr.. Wicker
sham did as a member of the firm
of Strong & Cadwalader, was to
draw down his portion of sugar
trust fee of something like S25, 900.
Under the Taft administration
it has been impossible for the
government to control the trusts,
because the trusts are bigger than
government.
AT last it has been possible to
elect President without the finan-
cial support OF the heads of illegal
tariff trusts, and it is hoped that
President Wilson will be able to
find man for attorney general
who will be SO constructed temp
eramentally as to feel that million
aire sugar trust barons who rob
the government and violate the
law ought to be sent to the peni-
tentiary just like poor man is
sent to the penitentiary when he
violates the law.

Washington Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 24.-United
States Attorney General Wicker
sham has refused to allow war;
rants to be served on John d.:
Archbold and other officials of the
Standard Oil Company, in the
case in which the Magnolia Oil
Company of Texas was indicted
by a federal grand jury in Texas
for criminal violation OF the Sher-
man law.
1t was Wickersham, the attor-
ney general, who stopped impor-
tant suits against the beef trust
Immediately upon taking Office.
1t was Wickersham, the attorney,
(who rendered an opinion up
holding Ballinger and viciously
attacking Louis R. Glavis,) who
said it was legal for sugar trust
interests to acquire by the ex-
ploitation process $4,000 acres Of
rich sugar lands of the Philippines
when the organic law of the is
lands expressly declares that no
corporation shall be allowed to ac
quire more thau $500 acres. 1t
was Wickersham, the attorney
general, who sanctioned the Taft
administration railroad regulation
bill, later exposed and altered,
containing joker legalizing the
Southern Pacific Union Pacific
merger, recently held unlawful by
the Supreme Court. It was Wick
ersham, the attorney general,

Before his appointment as At
torney General, Mr.. Wickershan
was a trust lawyer. For years anc
years he had been receiving hug

preting the laws, not from tn

people, but from the viewpoint 0

through the sand. l jumped up,
and, catching the operators Ian
tern, ! ran after the pony, deaf to
the voice of the man calling me
back and warning me of the hor-
rible death before me should / get
lost in the desert. For two long,
dreary hours | followed the trail
of the picket rope, dragged by the
pony through the sand. AS it
went off, up into the hills and the
rocks, | lost it.
Not until then had I given q
though to myself. Realizing l
could do nothing till daylight, |
resolved to return to the railroad,
but the problem before me was
"How?"
1t was then for the first time that
felt fear Of this great desert.
and the thought flashed through
my mind of the different outfits
that went into the desert never to
return. Just how l reached the
railroad track never can tell. ]

sand, and scrambled out, only to
fall over cactus or sand dunes.
Even yet cold chill strikes me
when / think of 1t.
When l finally arrived at the
station, the operator was at his
key, very much excited, but
thankful, and sending word oveI
the wire to Yuma of my safe re-
turn, as he had wired them earlier
of my fool-hardy trick.
Next morning we received word
that my pony had back trailed
and was at a email mining camp
16 miles up the line. | walked the
ties for that distance, found my
pony, and rode him back to the
OPERATORS station.

creased more frequently by reduce
ing the rates than by increasing
them.
"The present tariff, il thoroughly
oyerhauled, could be made to pro-
duce great deal more revenue
and at the same time not cost the
taxpayers one-fourth fvhat they
now pay, Tor under the present
system where one dollaY goes into
the federal treasury fodr or FIVE
dollars go in the pockets Of the
tariff barons.
"The rates in new bill or new
bills should be fully as low as the
rates in the bills which we passed
during this congress, and in some
cases lower.
"All the talk about the Demo-
Gratis wanting to injure business is
absolutely preposterous.
T
"What We want to do is to give
every man an equal opportunity
in the race of life, and not pamper
a few at the expense of many.
That plan would foster every legi-
innate industry in the land and
injure none. That is one way in
which congress can aid in reduce
ing the exceedingly high cost of
living, which is really the most
pressing, vexatious, and important
problem with which we have to
deal. What the people demand is
cheaper food, cheaper clothing,
cheaper necessaries of life general
ly, and any cuts in tariff rates
which do not accomplish that are
not worth the trouble and labor
of making,
''The revision ought to be made
carefully, scientifically, and in
harmony with Democratic prom
ises."

Miss Claire Wrote of the Desert,

[Chambersburg lPa.) Repository.
Miss Alberta Claire, the Girl
from Wyoming, will be seen in
the New Theatre this evening.
Repository has told Of her wonder
full ride on her broncho, or COW
pony, for 10000 miles and we
have seen enough of her creden-
tials to be convinced that she rode
the distance. For the Washington
Post Miss Claire wrote a story of
her experience on the great vest
ern desert, from which we take
this:
The Girl from Wyoming rode
over the hill through the soft sa nd
and into the great desert beyond.
There, in that vast valley, hem
med in on either side by the
ranges of desert hills, pulled up
my pony and looked away into
the space, where, even then, the
heat mist was rising over the land.
The awful stiffness OF the desert
lay over everything There was
no living thing in sight except the
tiny lizards, an occasional "side
Winder," a specie of rattlesnake,
and always the buzzards circling
out over the desert from the foot
hills beyond. seemed almost to
hear the silence, so weird and un-
earthly it was.
| urged Bud forward quickly,
but even his hoofs made scarcely
a sound in the soft sand. / rode
steadily all day, stopping only to
give Bud a drink Of water when
he needed it.
just before sundown found the
camp of my bridgemen near the
railroad, where / intended to
spend the night. There, for the
first time, | saw the wonderful
sunset of the desert, with its beau
tiful coloring, which even the
burning sand seemed to reflect.
| fed Bud the hay and oats
which had been thrown off the
train for me, and shared the sup
per Of bacon and beans which the
men Of the camp had prepared for
themselves Then as the intense
darkness spread over the land l
rolled up in my saddle blankets,
and, with my saddle for pillow,
slept peacefully there in the sand.
Next morning, before sunrise, /
was on my way, and the next
night got to telegraph opera
tors cabin on the railroad near
the Salton Sea-that great inland
sea OF brine, which neither ma n
nor beast can drink from. The
operator knew | was in the desert
and had received orders to watch h
for me. Imagine my Joy when I
found he had not only hay and
oats for Bud, but steak and some
watermelon for mel He said the
limited slowed down and dropped
them of that morning for the "girl
from Wyoming" and I've never
J had dinner enjoyed more, be-
cause 1t was such surprise. |

Speaker Clark and the Tariff.

"There is one way, and one way
only, for the Democrats to remain
in power; by giving the people
after election what they promised
before election. The people don't
want excuses; they want Deeds"
This is Speaker Champ Clark's 8
idea of what the Democratic party
must do to 'tmake good" and to
be retained in power.
"If there is anything / believe
in strongly" said Mr.. Clark, cit
is that promises made to win an
election should be religiously car
ried out after the election is won.
"Men should say whst they
mean and mean what they; and
they should speak the plain
language of the plain people SO
that all may understand. The
voters of the land have right to
be treated honestly, candidly,
fairly and courageously. They
are entitled to that square deal of
which we hear so much and see so
little.
"Robert j. Walkers report on
the tariff remains to this day the
greatest paper on that subject. In
it he laid down this general prin-
ciple: THAT high ct rates should
be on luxuries; the lowest or none
at all on the necessaries of life. ,
That should be the basis of our
revision of the tariff to which we
are solemnly committed.
"The rates should be arranged
SO as to produce the maximum of
revenue, while taking from the
ultimate consumers the minimum
Of money in the sh pc of tariff
taxes. Ths.t statement may ap-
pear paradoxical, but what it pro-
poses is perfectly feasible. There
is maximum revenue-producing
tariff rate on each particular item
which can be ascertained, and
which should be ascertained. The
moment the rate on any article
goes above the maximum revenues
producing rate the revenue begins
to fall off, and the more the rate
is increased the more the revenue
dwindles until 1t disappears en-
tirely, and the rate becomes pro-
hibitive.
"Such is the case with blankets
nine feet long, worth not oveI
forty cents per pound, an article
OF prime necessity on which the
compound specific and ad valoram
amounts to a tariff tax of between
1856 and 1872 1-2 per cent.
i "Without going into wearisome
details, 1t is safe to say that three-
fourths of all the tariff rates of the
Payne Aldrich- Smoot tariff bill
are above the maximum revenue-
producing rates and should be re-
duced at least to a competitive
point.
"The truth is that the words g
competitive tariff are more easily
understood than the words "a tariff
for revenue only. "A competitive
tariff is one which would give
Americans the American marke'
80 long as they sell at fair prices
but would let in foreign products
II Americans undertake to goug.

would in practice be "a tariff fol
