"Might Makes Right"

"Might Makes Right"
Something happened in the
National House Of Representa-
tives last MONDAY the signifc-
ance of which is too important
to be allowed to go unheeded.
When Mr.. Richard Bird, Rep
resentative-eIect from the State
of Kansas, presented himself be-
fore the Speaker to be sworn in,
Representative Flood, of Virginia
offered a resolution that the
question of his eligibility to a
seat be determined by a commit
tee of the House charged to in
vestigate his statement of cam
paign expenditures it being al
legged that over $4,000 had been
expended in his behalf to insure
his election. $1,000 is the limit
allowed by law.
The resolution was voted down
by a strict party vote and the
Republican Representative from
Kansas was sworn in despite the
fact that he mad violated the law
of the land by condoning if not
actually approving an eXpendi-
ture of 100 per cent in excess OF
the amount \ candidate for Con-
gress may legitimately eXpend
under the Federal Corrupt Prac-
tice Act 81 Stat. L. 1907.
1t was perfectly obvious that
Mr.. Bird had not only "c0nstruc-
tive" knowledge but actual
knowledge of the detailed ex-
penditures made in behalf of his
election and duly sworn to by his
campaign manager. Surely the
only conclusion which in logic
and common sense can be drawn
from this very significant Incl
dent, occurring as it did on the
first day of the new Administra-
ton. is that, flushed with victory
at the polls, drunk with power,
the majority party in Congress
has decided to ride rough shod
over the minority regardless of
the merits Of the issues involved
and apparently careless of the
consequences either to the coun-
try or to themselves.
The downfall Of the nation that
invaded Belgium against the
plain terms Of international law
and morality should not be with
out warning to the republicans.
Their leaders would do well to
consult DR.. Bethman-IolIWeg or
the disillusioned exile at Doom.

SLAVERY FLOURISHES
IN MOROCCO Still
CBy Associated Press)

cry and trading in slaves still
flourish in the unconquercd dis
!tricts of both the French and
Spanish zones of Morocco. There
have been stories that some OF
THE slaves are white people, but
these reports are not borne out
by inquiry.
Threats by the turbulent Moors
! of the Riff coast to sell into slaV-
Jerry a Spanish sailor boy, Fran
cisco Sallud unless his father with
whom he had been wrecked and
captured, paid a ransom OF 400
Ipesetas, led the Associated Press
correspondent to make an i'll
lquiry into the question of the ex-
iistence of enslaved white people
in northern Africa.
The result Of inquiries shows
that of recent years instances Of
white people being sold into slav-
cry have been very rare, but
there are slave markets for the
sale and purchase of colored peo-
Iple in the districts to which the
French and Spanish rule have not
preached. The traffic varies &C
cording to the economic situation
of the tradesmcn who, when they
are II funds, do not hesitate 10
! give high prices for slaves to be
used as servants. Slaves so pur-
chased become the personal prop
, erty of the family into which
they are bought and are disposed
Of by testament when the propri-
etor dies.
However, it is customary for
the purchaser to make a formal
agreement before a competent
legal authority to grant his slave
his freedom on his masters death
when the lleirs have to give up
all claim and at the same time to
allow te liberated slave to live on
and cultivate any portion of his
dead masters land which may
have been left to him as one of
the family.
A slave owner may give his
slave a wife from among his 9th
er slaves bought in the same way
and the children of these MARI
ages become slaves of the same
owner unless he has signed the
agreement already mentioned in
connection with their parents.
The prices paid for slaves vary
considerably Generally the age
is the chief consideration. but,
girl slaves, beauty calls, for the
highest prices. Seven hundred
and fifty pesetas (about S;l00 at
| the present rate Of exchanged IS
about the maximum figure ever
Ipaid-and this only in the case Of
! a very handsome and young girl.
Should the human merchandise
have passed the age of IS or 40,
the price paid is round about 400
ipesetas, never more.
AL purchases are made condi-
Itionally on the slave S proving
satisfactory. A close examination
is made of the servants mouth to
see whether he or she possesses
a complete set Of teeth. Proofs
are required that the slave is mel
Their weak sighted nor deaf and
dumb, while limbs are tested and
muscles tried and every part OF
the body subjected to minute in
ispection in order to discover any
physical defects.
For women slaves three days
trial OF their domestic aptitude is
demanded before the purchase is
completed.
Such are the conditions of the
Slave trade-~in Morocco at the
present day, and this is the fate
from which Francisco Sallud es-
capped, probably by the payment
of part of the ransom demanded,
although exact information as to
the transaction S unavailable.

THE PROPOSED SALES TAX.

The proposed "overturn sales. tax
according to its opponents, would give
big business an unfair advantage over
small manufacturers.
Take the case of small concern
making steel products. Here's what
would happen to it,:
Mine sells iron ore to jobber-and
pays a sales tax.
Jobber sells ore to blast furnace.
Secgond sales tax.
Furnace sells pig iron to jobber.
Third sales tax.
Jobber sells pig iron to small steel
mill. Fourth sales tax.
Mill sells billets to small manufac-
turer of steel products. Fifth sales
tax.
Mine sells coal to jobber. Sixth
sales tax.
,Tobber sells coal to coke oven. Sew
enth sales tax.
Oven sells coke to blast furnace,
steel billet maker 'and manufacturer
of finished products. Three more sales
taxes. 3
fen sales taxes in all!
/ They are passed on to the small
manufacturer OF steel sheets, cold
rolled shafting, etc. While he in turn
passes them on to his customers, still
these 10 sales taxes become part of
his production costs and increase the
minimum price at which he can sell.
| On the other hand, take an outfit
like the u. S. Steel Corporation. In
lai ge part. it owns and mines its own
coal and iron ore, makes its own coke,
pig iron, steel billets and finished pro
ducts.
No sales tax would appear in U. S.
Steels production costs.
Result: U. S. Steel could undersell
the small manufacturer whose costs
would include at least 10 sales taxes.

AN EXAMPLE FOR GEORGIA.

A striking instance of speedy jus
,tice, which cannot fail to be impress
sive, comes from Greenville, S. c.,
where negro who, on Friday at 8
O'Clock fatally shot city policeman,
and fired two shots at the pursuing
posse of civilians and officers, was
tried, convicted and sentenced in sew
entytwo hours.
He is to be hanged on May 81.
The shooting of the policeman was
one of extreme provocation and might
very easily have resulted in one of
these lynchings which are all too fire.
quent all over the country when mey
are wrought to high pitch The
fusillade in the streets which might
have resulted in the death of any
number of innocent persons was well
calculated to intensity the excitement
But the sale appeal was. to the law
was arraigned as soon as he was cap
tured. Counsel to defend him was ap-
pointed by the court, and his every
legal right was studiodsly protected
But there was no waste of time. Tho
arguments, which began at s S'o'clock
Monday night, occupied eight minutes
fer the defense and six minutes for
the state. The Judge charged the jury
Tor eighteen minutes. The jury re-
turned a verdict of guilty in eleven
minutes, and nine minutes thereafter
the murderer had been sentenced to
pay the extreme penalty.
Best Of all it is stated that there
were no dilatory pleas and no motion
for new trial.
If the administration of justice
could always be SO swift and certain
there would be far less crime in this
country. When the average man
knows from observation. that in the
Ievent he commits a crime his case
may be dragged through the courts for
years and finally go free there is little
restraint upon him. And when the
general public sees such perversions
of justice we can at least understand
the mentality which leads to mob vio-
| lence, however unfortunate it may
be.
| In certain instances there may be
reasonable grounds for an appeal, but
in many other instances the attorneys
for the defense are not quite fair with
their own consciences in offering it,
and therein lies a grave abuse.
1t is hoped that the Greenville in
cident will be heralded throughout the
country as an offset to the bad name
that has been given the South and as
an inducement for the courts every
where to speed up the wheel Of JUS
tice SO far as is compatible with the
fundamental rights of the defendant.
