that it be enjoined from interstate
commerce until the dissolution is COM
plete.'
Attorney Wilkerson then related
the history of the growth of the con-
isolidated oat meal company from

Oats company. Then in 1901, he said,

The first good news that has come
from South Carolina concerning COLE
BLEAsE Is that in which the defeat Of
majority OF his candidates for the
State convention Is recorded. This con.
vention will write the rules for the
primaries In which Democratic can
didate for United States Senator will
be chosen. Those regulations will be
drawn by the political opponents IT
BLEAsE and they promise to eliminate
him as serious factor from the con-
test.
Probably South Carolina, like the
rest Of the country. Is tired OF BLEAsE.
His fellow citizens had TO endure him
twelve months In the year. The people
OF the other States got him in compar.
atively small doses, only when some
particularly outrageous piece OF dema-
gogism projected his fame beyond the
borders Of his Jurisdiction. At nrst
his ranting and posturlng were mildly
amusing. But they soon ceased to be
other than boresome. A fire eating
mountebank pals quickly. BLEAsE fell
easily into his appropriate place in
the national gallery. He must have
recognized the waning Of interest in
him and in his doings when his curious
outglvings on the attitude Of the War
Department toward his State military
forces failed TO attract serious atten-
ton beyond the borders of South Car
olina. Nobody remembers now what
BIEAsE said and threatened when the
Secretary Of War had the tcmerity TO
announce that noncompliance with the
statute would forfeit the States share
Of the benefits IL confers. BLEAsE was
going 10 secede. or demolish the United
States. or do something else equally
desperate. Tine WAS when such talk
IN South Carolina meant something
coming from BLEAsE II aroused only
vearied smilea
BIEAsE is not typical OF South Caro-
lima. He represents merely a small
group OF politicians In whom great en-
ergy replaces intelligence. He belongs
politically In North Carolina. where
Buncombe county lies. but the South
Carollniaus are too generous TO inf'ict
him on their neighbors. In spite Of the
Appropriateness Of translating him 10

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Str:
desire to commend the attitude which
THE SrN and THE EVENING SUN have
taken toward the treatment by the police
Of Upton Sinclair and his followers in
their demonstration against the Rookie
fellers.
They are clearly violating the pro-
visions OF the Penal Law and should be
arrested for the misdemeanor Of commit
ting a public nuisance.
l suppose the authorities would say In
excuse Of their failure to execute the law
that they are unwilling to give these dis
turbers OF the peace any occasion to ap-
pear as martyrs. and that II left alone
their activities will cease.
I do not agree with such a view OF
the situation and do not admit the suffi-
cheney Of such an excuse for non-en-
forcement OF the law.
I submit that II half a dozen ordinary
citizens should conduct themselves on
the public streets as these pestiient fell
lows are now doing. even without any
expressed purpose therefor. they would
very speedily be arrested. a. they would
deserve to be.

Ex-Governor Brown OF Georgia..

As Governor Of Georgia the Hon.
JOSEPH NJ. BRowN dealt fearlessly and
vigorously with riotous Italian strikers
at the Durham mines in Walker county
four years ago this month. The strik-
ers threatened TO kill some Of the resi-
dent Georgians and to dynamite the
town. The Governor sent militia in
sufficient force to overpower and disarm
the Italians. who were then released
upon their agreement 10 leave the
State. The Italian mbassador CON-
planned through the State Department
that the Governor had deprived certain
subjects Of the King Of Italy Of their
legal rights. Governor BRowN replied
with spirit that the legal rights In
Georgia Of these non-naturalized for
eieners did not include the right to
kill citizens Of Georgia and destroy by
dynamite. That ended the interna tional
incident.
This same energetic gentleman Is
now discussing. In u remarkable series
Of articles in the Georgia newspa pers
the general question of the discrimi-
mating foreign element in our labor
organizations in Its relation TO public
law and order. Ex-Governor BRowy
speaks very plainly and without the
slightest regard for the risceptiblities
Of any politician whatever: as. for
example:
"a word OF caution to our Democratic
PARTY friends in Congress. The commit
tees you have sent TO investigate the
strikes by these foreign born miners IN
West Virginia Michigan and Colorado
can accomplish nothing practical
IL warn you that you are Ignoring the
native American majority to pander to
this foreign minority of minority, ignor-
ing American reverence for law and Amer,
lean efforts to uphold the law and tenn
porixng with foreign elements Of anarchy
And warn you that although there are
said 10 be forty languages IN the United
States. the majority Of the people. foreign
born as well As native. are going to force
the speakers OF each OF those languages
to obey one code OF laws that code which
they enacted to govern not only all but
each.
"rhey are not going 10 see their public
utilities crippled. their commerce para
lyzed. themselves forced to remain at
home or walk. their building development
stayed. their factories shut down. their
homes and other structures dynamited and
some of their brothers assassinated at the
within OF this foreign organisation which
has about two millions out of nearly
thirty million men. and then to be sneer-
ingly asked: How can you help your
selves""
Mr.. Browns discussion Of the labor
situation In relation to the impartial
and fearless enforcement OF the law Is
attracting much attention in Georgia
and elsewhere in the South. His ideas
are vigorous enough to command a
nationwide audience.

ham, Ala. Is spoken Of in the banking
community as hard headed. practical
minded citizen. and probably as excel
lent Southern banker as could be
named for the board.
1t Is the appointment Of Mr.. WAS.
BuRe which will win the widest com.
mendatlon. Nobody has done more
than he to promote the cause Of sound
banking reform. The Federal Reserve
act falls short Of giving the country
the measure Of reform 1t should have.
but one Of the merits Of the act Is that
IL leaves So much to the possibilities Of
wise administration. The Federal Re
serve Board will have a wonderful OPP
portunity TO make the new banking law
an instrument Of tremendous benefit.
and there Is nobody better qualified
than Mr.. WARBrRa to undertake the
work Of educating the board itself to
the possibilities confronting 1t.
The banking system for which the
Federal Reserve act provides IL very
much an adaptation Of foreign systems;
and man like Mr.. wARBURG. trained
In the European school Of finance and
equipped with a large experience Of
American affairs. IL almost indispen-
sable at this time Of change. 1t will
take such man TO assist In the appli-
cation Of imported ideas and practices
to domestic conditions and customs.
Also the appointment Of Mr.. WARBuRG
will confer on the country the advan-
tage accruing from his high rank In
foreign esteem. Europe considers that
the United States has committed itself
TO critical experiment In banking.
and 1t will help the country abroad
to have foreign confidence rcposed in
the conduct OF the experiment.
Furthermore, a man like Mr.. WAR
BURG will be solid obstacle in the
way Of scheming to urge the Federal
Reserve Board In political directions
against the interests Of business and
the general welfare. A man Of Mr..
WAABrIG's calibre 10 assured Of the
support Of the most influential public
opinion, and that will avail nightly
against political banking.
