CHICAGO & ALTON
RECEIVERSHIP

1t is unfair and incorrect to place
the blame for the receiverShip of the
Chicago & Alton railway on the strik-
ing railway shopmen, as some chronic
enemies of organized labor are malic-
iously attempting to do. The receiver
ship is the logical and inevitable re-
suit of the reckless exploitation of
that company by Wall street stock
jugglers a score years ago.
Before the property was acquired
by the Hartman syndicate in 1899,
its capital stock was about twenty
two million dollars and its outstanding
securities amounted to about twenty
two million dollars. Under the direc-
tion of the financial wizards of Wall
street, two reorganization" were
carried out in less than eight years.
When it was finally placed on "high
finance" basis its capital stock was
about forty million dollars and its
securities had been piled up to more
than seventy-three million dollars,
although not more than eighteen mil
lion had been actually added to the
value of the property. 1t was loaded
with debt of nearly $175,000 a mile,
which is more than any single-track
road could hope to sustain. With
such load put on it, there was moth
ing but failure ahead. Any special
test put on it would force the failure,
and only the absence of any such test
permitted it to stand for years. No
railway could earn returns on a
burden of securities like that, and no
freight could be secured at rates that
would pay dividends. To demand
rates that would promise dividends
would be to commit new crime to
pay premium on a previous crime.
The road simply could not earn divi-
dends and interest on the flood of
securities issued so recklessly and dis
tributed so joyously when the big
melon cutting was under way.
1t is such exploitation of transpor-
tation lines as the Alton in the West,
and the New Haven in the East, that
has almost destroyed the public serv-
ice character Of the country's rail
ways, because of the high freight
rates required to pay interest on their
pyramided debts, and that has made
Wall street specially unpopular with
the public, because the people know
Iue w dill SlIeeI SdInDleIS are re-
sponsible for the present condition
Of the railways.
The Chicapo & Alton had been ex-
plotted and left waterlogged, and it
went down. That is all there is to
the receivership. The blame is on
Wall street sharks, who took out the
money and then unloaded the debt
burdened property on others. In no
other way can the blame for the re-
ceivership be put on the striking shop
men.-Exchange.

LA TOILETTE FOR PRESIDENT

Robert M. La Toilette, of Wiscon-
sin, has been renominated for the
senate from his state by handsome
margin. La Toilette is a progressive
of the most pronounced type and has
long been a thorn in the side of the
"old guard" at the capital. His re-
election will be generally indorsed b
organized labor in all parts of the
country. There has even been
launched, by leaders in the American
Federation of Labor, movement to
run him for president.
We believe, however, that Bob" can
never become the presidential candi-
date of the Republican party as that
party is now organized. He has made
too many stinging attacks on the big
business interests which own the poll
ticians at present in control of its
policies. If serious boom" for La
Toilette should develop, either his
party would have to come to La Fol
lette or La Toilette would have to get
out of his party, for it is hardly think
able that he could be made to knuckle
down to the "old guard" Indeed,
without doubt there are hundreds of
thousands of his fellow Republicans
who would go with La Toilette in case
of a break in party lines. and also,
without doubt, there are very many
dissatisfied Democrats who would
join with them to form a new organ
ization more in accord with progress
sive and truly democratic ideals.
Should such a situation evolve
from the somewhat strained allegi
ance of members in both the old poll
tical parties, labor people probably
would not find it hard to support the
kind of men and policies such new
political party would bring co the foe.

FEDERAL COURTS
By John Bush

The Federal Courts inclination anC
attitude in regards to laws enacted
bv the legislative and executive branch
of our government has placed the ma
ton in apparent proximity to al
autocracy.
The recent actions of the courts are
illustrations that make APPARENT the
logic of Lord Byron's view of the
laws when he said that claws grinC
the poor and the rich men rule the
law"
The annulling of the child labor law
and the granting of injunctions, sucf
as those in connection with the rail
road strike, are glaring examples, in
asmuch as in each instance the rich
man was catered to. When anyone
of the three branches of government
shows an inclination to favor any one
class, then the ruthless hand Of autoc-
racy holds the balance of power.
There are three branches of govern
ment; the legislative department
which makes the laws; the executive
department, which enforces the laws
and the judicial department which in
terprets the laws.
It is a fundamental principle of
American government that these
great powers Tor any of them) should
not be confded to the same person OF
body, but that they should be given
to separate departments, each inde-
pendent of the other, and forbidden
to encroach upon the rights and
powers of the others. But certain
blending of governmental powers per-
mits each branch of the government
to act as a restraint upon any arbl-
trary or unwise action of the others.
In this way our Constitution estab-
fishes what is called a system OF
checks and balances. For instance,
the President appoints the princinle
officers of the government, but they
must be confirmed bv the Senate. So
also he negotiates treaties, but they
cannot become effective without the
consent of the Senate. On the other
hand Congress makes the laws, but
the President may veto them. The
Judges act as check on both the
other departments through their
power to restrain unlawful official ac-
tion and to refuse to give effect to
laws which are contrary to the Con-
stitution.
The Constitution is an open book,
the words and the meaning are "lain
to every citizen, and it is the. peoples
Constitution. Therefore if any depart
ment of the Federal Government en-
acts or supports the enactment of
any laws conflicting with the Con-
stitution, which they pledge them
selves to support, it is the duty OF the
people to remove them from office.
The Constitution allows every man
to speak, and write or print whatever
he pleases, provided by so doing. he
does not unjustly injure others.
In such case the injured has
remedy in the laws against SANDER
and libel, that is malicious and untrue
statements concerning ones life and
character. This constitutional guar
antee also secures to the citizen the
right freely to criticize the nature,
operations, institutions, plans or meas
ures of the government or the conduct
of public officers as such, provided
only that such criticisms are not made
with a purpose of overthrowing the
government or stirring up treason or
revolution.

MORGAN HOME AGAIN

Congress having adjourned, our
Representative William M. Morgan
has returned to his home in Newark,

looking after his political fences in
the 17th District. His headquarters
are on West Main street in the build
ing occupied by the Newark Business
College, directly opposite the Trades
Assembly hall, where he will gladly
welcome his friends at any time.

FARMERS AND WORKERS UNITE

The organized workers and farmers
of the State of Washington are plan
ming to elect Senator Miles Poindexter
to stay at home for the next six years
and send a real representative of the
people to the Senate in his stead.
James A. Duncan, Secretary of the
Seattle Central Labor Council, is op-
posing him on the Farmer-Labor
ticket, while Republican voters are
backing an aggressive woman candi-
date to defeat him in the primaries.
The best boost you can give the
Leader is to patronize it's advertisers.
