Korbley of Marion county looks like the choice and the queer part of it. and one that republican papers will not like perhaps, he is a friend of both Governor Marshall and Tom Taggart. The farther the LaFollette boom goes, the weaker it seems to grow’. Governor Osborn, in introducing the famous Wisconsin 'Tuesday, advised him to go home and let Roosevelt or Beveridge do the running. Mr. Taft’s campaign does not seem to be going as smooth as grease either, and his secretary, Mr. Hilles, is now on a line, which will probably make Teddy show his hand. It’s an awful mix-up, and the fellow who can straighten it out may himself receive the nomination. United States Circuit Court .Judge Peter S. Grosscup of Chicago has managed to make a millionaire out of himself while sitting upon the federal bench. Besides getting rich himself he appointed Marshal E. Sampsell, his court clerk, receiver for a traction-com-pany that was in litigation in his court, at a salary of $25,000 a year. John M. Harlan, one of the really great jurists in this nation’s history, and one of the best friends the common people ever had on the supreme bench, a few weeks ago passed away. His daughter recently accepted a position as secretary to earn her living. Louis D. Brandeis, the famous Boston lawyer, who looks, acts, walks and talks like Abraham Lincoln, while testifying before the senate trust investigating committee, showed how the trusts receiving the greatest protection have destroyed trades unionism, reduced wages, increased working hours, and driven out and brought foreign emigrant labor into their mills. He exposed the injustice and futility of the Tobacco Trust settlement, effected by the supreme court, and said the rule laid down amounted to this- “What man has illegaly joined together, let no court put asunder.” In contract with the treatment the eonzumers and workingmen iiave received at the hands of the tariff-pro-tected trusts, Mr. Brandeis presented instances where prices have been reduced, and wages raised, in industries operated under free competition. Yet the standpatters would have the workingmen believe that the Payne-Aldrich high protection wall was put up exclusively for their benefit.
