Competition Shall Be Fair

the Interstate Commerce Commission,
here as an example of successful lregu,
lation, and as model for regulating
competitive business generally" he

mission has merely tried, and has fail
ed, to regulate the transportation in
terests of the country. Nothing will
succeed but complete control, and il
control means public ownership, so be
it,"
Senator Lane, of Oregon, whose
daughter is a Socialist soapboxer, re-
marked that he was not sure whether
this is part of devilish attempt to
delay for another ten years a sane
solution of the control of capital, or
whether it was the blind, foolish STUN
bling of men who did not know what to
do"
By vote Of SO to 20 the Senate
approved the Cummins amendm/Nlt to
the bill, providing that the Federal
Courts shall review the decisions OF
the commission only on points of law,
and not on general issues of fact. The
Democrats on the committee on inter
state commerce, had agreed on the

WASHINGTON, August u, 1914
(SpeciaD-Onlyt six members voted
against the emergency" currency bill
last week when the Wilson Admins
tration at the request of the Chemical
National Bank and others of the big
New York speculative group forced
through a $5OO,0O0,0O0 issue Of U. S.
notes. The pretense, in the words OF
leader Underwood, was that there
would be financial panic "such as we
have not known before" if the bill did
not pass.
Two hundred and thirty-one voted
for the bill, six against it, and five,
afraid to vote either for or against,
answered present

words; 1T is rather strange that Con

concern involved was dissatisfied with
punishment at the commissions hands.
feature of the debate was the
opposition made by such standpat
Senators as Brendegee of Connecticut,
Weeks of Massachusetts and Colt of
Rhode Island, who were "disgusted, -
amazed" and staggered" at the idea
OF giving to five Government appoint
ees the right to interfere with every
business enterprise in the country
They saw, what the Democrats did
not. that the commission would fail to
enforce fairness but they feared that,
clamOr, such as that aroused
by the New Haven expose would oper-
ate through the commission to wreck
some of the most commanding bust
ness enterprises in the country. Ac-
cordingly they poured upon it their bit,
terest invective, in the hope of getting
pledges that when the commission
should be established there should be
no batting of Wall Street.
The fact that the Democrats in
charge of the bill approved the Pom
creme amendment indicates that the
Administration wished to reassure Big
Business. There will be no sharp rad
icalism in the rulings of this Business;
Morality tribunal. One-sided competi
ton will stay on the Job. Monopoly
will be discovered and reproved only
after long and 'painstaking inquiry, an(
not until the profits of monolopy have
been safely. slowed away. In short
the bunco game will continue.
1t is significant that when Cummins
proposed an amendment to empower

the commission to enforce a rule
against the ownership of stock in one
corporation by another corporation in
the same line of business, it was de-
feated by the Democrats and standpat
Republicans, 16 to 3S. The Democrats
are going to have that work taken
care of by the Federal Courts, which
is to say, the United States Supreme
Court. They do not want it hurried
by any commissioners who might be
sympathetic with public opinion.
The Clayton antitrust bill and the
Rayburn bill, authorizing the Inter
state Commerce Commission. to regu-
late the issuance of stocks and bonds
by railroads, are next on the program.
Their value to the logical evolution OF
our industrial civilization may be
gagged by the Trade Commission Act.

JAUREs-MARTYR.

Jean Leon Jaures was born in
1859 at Castres. After studying
at the Lycee Louis lie Grand and
at the Ecole Normale Snperieure,
he taught philosophy at Abb
18S1-1S83) and at Toulous e
qS83-18S5). In 1885. he entered
politics, but not as a. Socialist.
He entered the Chamber Of Depu-
ties. as Conservative Republican.
1t was not until after his defeat by
the monarchist candidate in 1889
that he became Socialist.
In 1898 he was returned to the
chamber, becoming one of the
most prominent of the Socialist
). leaders, but failed of reelection
in 1898.
He took an. important part in
the revision of the Dreyfuss affair,
a and in spite of the bitter attack
on him, based on the confirmation
of his daughter in the Roman
!. Catholic church in 1901, he kept
his place as one of the foremost
! leaders and orators of the Social
list party. In 1902 he was re-
elected to the Chamber Of Depu-
ties. ~.
= In 1903 he scored triumph in
/ his advocacy of the Macedonian
T cause. In 1905 the attention of
the world was turned on M.
Jaures through the action of the
German government in debarring
him from speaking in Berlin to
the Social Democrats of Germany.
It was feared the latter proposed
by his presence in Berlin to cover
hostile endeavors a gain It the
state and national interests.
He was assassinated Friday,
July 81, 1914, because of his efforts
to prevent the pending Pan-:Euro-
pean war. x

STOLE HORSE
AND BUGGY.

A daring theft Of a horse and
buggy was perpetrated here
last Sunday. A negro named
Rube Wilson. who operated a
restaurant under the M. & F.
Bank building rented a rig from
Mr.. D. E. Rainey. Not return.
ing by, Monday morning Mr..
Rainey became uneasy and learn
ed that the negro had gone with
his conveyance towards Colum-
bus and followed the trail into
Millport, Ala, and at this point
no tidings could be had any fur
ther. 1t was learned that Will
son was an escaped convict and
was wanted badly in Alabama
for the same crime and has a
large reward hanging over his
head. He is said to be a desperate
character. Mr.. Rainey offers
suitable reward for bis appre-
henson and the recovery Of the
horse and buggy. The horse
was a big bay animal, nine years
old, weight about 100 pounds,
slightly string halted in right
hind leg, and was hitched to a
red wheel top buggy.

Young Corn and Cotton
Should be Narrowed.

The beneficial effect of a we'll
prepared seed bed and the use OF
good seed may be wholly or
partially offset by improper or
insufficient cultivation. is the ad'
vice of crop specialists of the
Department of Agriculture.
Proper cultivation is an I'M
porlant factor in crop produc-
ton. Cultivation should begin
Immediately after planting by
running once or twice across the
rows with weeder or section
harrow. Alter the plants come
up at least two additional cul-
tlvations should be given with
either the weeder or harrow in
the case of either corn or cotton
before the regular cultivalors
are used. Run diagonally across
the rows with either of these i'm
plements, using the section har-
row with the teeth slanted back
ward with an angle OF As de-
grees and repeat week later at
right angles with the frs culti-
vatlOn.'
The use of the weeder or Sec
lion harrow is strongly advised
for the early cultivation Of corn,
cotton and many other crops.
1t is best to use the weeder on
very loose or sandy soils while
the section harrow is preferable
on clay or buckshot soils. This
early cultivation of with the
weeder or borrow destroys all
young grass and weeds and
leaves the soil in fine condition
and the cotton ready for chop
ping or thinning. The use OF
the section harrow for the early
cultivation of corn and cotton in
the South is comparatively re.
cent but is rapidly becoming
general. One of the great ad-
yantages in It's use, in addition
to the excellent work done, is
the extra amount of land that
can be cultivated in given
time.

The following was written by

"Newspapers are made of

nothing about editors and l nev-

press package from a city mail
order house. was accosted by
local merchant: why didn't you
buy that bill of goods from me?
| could have saved you the ex-
press and besides you would
have been patronlzing a home

and help build up this locality"
With characteristic frankness,
the farmer asked: Why don't
you patronize your home paper

didn't know that you had the
goods that haye here, nor do I
ever see your name In the paper
inviting one to come 10 your
