brief which was sold to the public in this
city the morning the case came to trial,
John w Weed of New York attorney
FOR W. Seward Webb, p. W. Clement and
others, defendants in a case brought by
Andrew C. Spring and others who claim
ed the defendants were guilty of fraudu-
lent stock transactions while directors of
the Rutland railroad, this morning sew
erely arraigned the methods assumed by
the plaintiffs counsel. He charged that
during the entire course of the case,
which has strung along for three years,
many continuances and hindrances have
been resorted to by the instgators OF the
suit
The final arguments were made this
morning and the court reserved decision.
Judge Martin will decide as to whether
or not the plaintiffs can force an ac-
counting.
The final remarks of Mr.. Weed this
morning were entirely devoted to the
met,.od and legal procedure of the
/ plaintiffs In addressing Judge Martin
/ Mr. Weed charged that on Tuesday
morning the New York Times appeared
with two column article from which
they quoted freely from the brief of the
PLAINTIFF which at that time had not
been handed to the court and previous
to the start of the hearing.
! MIR. Weed said your honor. we dc
not charge the counsel for the plaintiff
with this undignifed piece of business
In fact | think we are willing to acQuit
! them of any connection with the giving
out OF their brief to the newspapers be-
fore the argument before this honorable
court but 1t does bear out one of oui
main contentious
I'VE have said before that this suit
was instigated by persons for the sole
purpose of embarrassing the defend
ants and I ask you in all fairness /,
this does not bear me out. 1t Is a wei
recognized rule among attorneys tina
cases should not be tried in the news
papers and this article appeared will
parts of the plaintiffs brief quoted
! verbatim and no mention in any par
of the defense"
Judge Martin seemed surprised witt
the statement of Mr. Weed and h
! asked to see the article IN question
The paper containing the parts of thu
plaintiffs claims was handed to hin
and after reading II the court said
MT Wickwire how do you accoun
for the article in this paper?"
II am as much surprised as the 9th
er attorneys" said counsel for TIT
plaintiff Il have no way Of knowing
how tho papers obtained parts of ou
brief"
These remarks closed the inciden
and Attorney Wickwire went on will
the closing argument
The defendants denied all the charges o
the plaintiffs and said that the complain
ants had no proof of their allegations
They charged that the plaintiffs ha,
sought to try their cases in the publi
press. They declared that some of tn
defendants had risked then private for
tunes to swing the transactions which tn
plaintiffs called swndles.

tional, but is rather local and selfish.
The American and Examiner re-
fleet, of course, the personal hostility
of Hearst-and don't count for much,
anyhow.
The Tribune and~Post are playing
the Progressive game, for reasons
best known to themselves. l imagine
that back in the secret sanctum of
the Tribune is a desire to regain po-
litical control in Chicago, without be-
ing forced openly to be tied up with
the played-out G. o. P, with its dis
credited bosses in control of the Or
ganization.
The Herald is sparring for an open
ing, feeling around for a chance to
gain on the Tribune, and Examiner
in circulation and advertising, and
handicapped, by advertising needs, by
being tied up to Big Business.
The Daily News plays its old part
of political eunuch nationally, with
an eye open to opportunity for local
political control.
Yet doubt if single one of these
papers will openly oppose Roger Sui
Ivan for senator; and if Roger is
the reactionary Bryan would have US
believe him don't see why every one
of those papers shouldn't be for him.
1t would be interesting if each of
the local newspapers would tell in
plain words just what it represents
and what it stands for-outside of it's
advertisers.
After all my guess is that the pa
pers are more interested In political
control of Illinois and Chicago than in
national politics in its national aspect.

LETTERS TO EDITOR

production in material life determines
the general character of the social,
political and spiritual processes of
life"
These words, uttered by German
philosopher over half a century ago
still hold good today, and, when view
ed in the light of history, by its I'M
deniable application to past forms of
production, becomes an eternal tru-
ism.
If the Industrial Relations Com
mittee we're aware of. this fact they
would probably turn their much val
ued time into some other channels
and spare an already oVer-sensational
world the agony of being irritated to
what amounts almost frenzy.
Here is what another thinker says;
and in a way this is complementary
to the first:
More than a century has passed
sitions as to the origin of the uni
verse, but how many have mastered
them or possess the really scientific
spirit of criticism? A few thousands
at the outside, who are lost in the
midst of millions still STEPPED in
prejudices and superstitions worthy
of savages, who are consequently
ever ready to serve as puppets for re-
igious imposters."
From the first proposition we de-
duce the theorem that, given defin-
tie form of production, the mode of
reasoning of the average individual
will more or less conform to that
mode of production. Indeed, that is
we'll taken care of in the institutions
of learning which instill in the young
mind that everything is good, right
eous and should be that way. This
applies to all social institutions, from
serfdom to capitalism and after.
From the second declaration we
learn that the masses have not the
