The provisions of this bill are just as
broad, sweeping and explicit as the
English language can make them to
express the rover of Congress on the
subject, under the Constitution OF
the United States.
But Roosevelt was never in favor
Of enforcing the law to destroy the
trusts and combinations. In his first
message to Congress dealing with the
subject he said, Combination and con
ccntration should not be prohibited,
supervised and within reasonable Inn
it's controlled.
The law declared that the trusts
ond combinations should be prohibit
cd: Roosevelt declared that they
should not be prohibited but that they
should be controlled, and he softened
this declaration by declaring that the
control must be kept within reason
able limits.
The above is matter Of history.

AUTOMOBILE TAX

T. b. Slade, secretary of the Good
Chamber of Commerce. and a son Of
Representative J. ]. Slade, of Mus
cogee County, is in Atlanta to attend
a meeting of the committee at 8
Hotel Ansley. Concerning published
reports that Representative Slade was
preparing a bill providing a graded
tax on motor driven vehicles, to be
presented to the next legislature. Mr..
Slade entered an emphatic denial that
either his father or himself was con-
nected with it.
MY father has nothing to do with
such a BILL" said Mr.. Slade. "and l,
personally, do not approve of It, We
members of the good roads commit
tee are very friendly to motor car
owners, and we do not believe they
ought to be subjected to any special
tax Of this nature"
Mr.. Slade said he understood that
Charles L. Davis, State Game War
den, was preparing such bill
He has some good points in It,
Mr.. Slade said, especially with ref
erence to the use of the convicts on
the roads But l do not approve OF
the graded tax which the bill seeks
to impose on motor vehicles"
The meeting of the good roads
committee is to consider principally
a bill for the formation of State
highway commission, similar to that
having charge of the roads in other
States

NEW YORK. Feb. 26-That the
United States is entering on a new
era of prosperity; that the tariff had
nothing to do with the period of bust
ness depression the country has OK
perienced, and that he is in accord
with President Wilson's policy in the
Mexican situation are the high spots
in an interview given to-day by AnS
drew Carnegie.
You must remember" he said,
that no country travels ahead at a
uniform pace. Every nation must
have its period of activity and times
when commerce moves at slow
pace
Il do not believe the new tariff
has had anything to do with the busi-
ness depression. / believe that in time

benefit for the American exporter.
II wish we never had anything 10
do with Mexico" he continued. But
while there is life there is hope. We
should not interfere with the Mexican
people in their choice for President
Hands off is my idea.
Experience proves that when u
stranger interferes in a quarrel he
gets the worst of it. Our President
is doing his best We must not say oI

HIGH COURT
Startling Charges Filed Against
Justice Daniel Wright Of Dis
trict of Columbia.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Sensa-
tional charges against Daniel Thew
Wright, of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, were filed to-
day with President Wilson by Wade
II. Cooper, president of the Union
Savings Bank and the United Saw
ings Bank, of this city.
Justice Wright, who is nationally
known because he sentenced Presi-
dent Gompers, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, to a term in prison
for contempt of court, is accused of
frequenting resorts of bad character
in Washington; that he accepts
favors from various attorneys prac-
ticing before him and is notoriously
partial to them; that the general
counsel of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company indorsed notes
of his, and many notes given him by
attorneys have been allowed to go
10 banks for discount; that his rela-
tions with a female litigant in a GER
tain case before him were so noto-
fOuS IndI the case ndQ TO be taken
out of his hands and given to another
Judge; that he practices law in Wash
ington in violation of a statute of the
United States; that he is a member
IF the board of directors of a New

money for work on this board.
In addressing his letter to the Pres
ident Mr.. Cooper says:
Il don't hesitate to say that JUS
tice Wright's conduct is a disgrace to
the judiciary of the nation and that
he should be impeached."
Cooper states he knows of several
Representatives in Congress who are
willing to introduce resolutions i'm
peaching Justice Wright with the
support of his evidence. but that he
deems the proper course to be to
bring the matter to the attention OF
the President.
The charges will be referred by
President Wilson to the Department
of Justice for investigation.
