CHARGES AGAINST COURTS Two charges made against the courts of this country in the last fo’v days are worthy of special attention. The first charge is by Samuel Gonip ers. and declares that the courts of tin- country are too readily swayed by corporate influence. The second charge was made in good faitli by a clergyman of Indiana, who said that tin- supreme court of the state would rule on the constitutionality of tin county local option law in accordance with the weight of public opinion The first of these charges was mad as an attack upon the courts, the second charge in the nature of praise of the courts. Each charge is very serious. If the courls- are interpreting the law and the constitution, not in accordance with the law itself, but at • he dictation of outside influences, whether of the people or of corporations, then our courts indeed are worthless. Laws are made for tilprotection of all persons. If laws arinterpreted at the dictation of any interest and not in accordance with Hie law itself, then law’ becomes a farce, a tool In I he hands of schem ers and those having a pull, and not a protection. If n law i» bad should be repealed, not broken. One clergyman has said that lie had no doubt that under a strict Interpretation of the constitution local option was unconstitutional, but the judges, listening to public opinion, woui 1 make a ruling in harmony with righteousness. We submit that if the judges should do tills they are not fit to sit upon the bench. They are there not to make law but to interpret it. If the law and the constitution are wrong, let there be an amendment through tin- proper sources. Over-riding law to accomplish good, is nevertheless over-riding law, and establishes a dangerous precedent. Interpretation through the di tation of public opinion is not far from socialism. The charge of Mr. Oompers and the charge of the Indiana clergyman are the same In sub-

* LEM0CRATIO | NEWS 1 : i Bryan's Election Means End of Re* pnhlicitn I'anic From a Taft organ the New York Evening Post, we quote the following: “We agree with Mr. Bryan that for the Republicans to predict that i his election will bring on panic am. hard times is the height of impudence. That cry w as raised again it the Democrats in 1S9<!. 1900, and 1901. But after more than ten years of undisputed Republican ascendancy, we had one of the worst panics in our history, and lh<- hard times are still upon us. Under these circumstances tlie Republican orators might Interest their hearers more by explaining why the miraculous intelligence and administrative skill of the Republicans failed to save us.” And yet the cry that Mr. Bryan will bring hard times is the one the Republican orators are relying on most as their campaign argument. li is rather ludicrous for a par*.' under whose administration hard times at present exist to ask the peo pie to vote against a rival on the ground that the rival would cause hard times. As a matter of fad it is Mr. Bryan's Interest to see that prosperity be restored as soon as possible. First of all, he would try to restore good times because that is the part of the wisdom and patriotism. But, in the second place, he is a good politician and he knows that the best thing ho could do to strengthen himself and his party in popular favor would be to put business on its feet once more that is, so far as it is in the power of a president to bring about such ,i revival.”

Taft I’apers \lmost Ready to Bolt. Many of the papers that have been supporting Taft are having a hard time keeping themselves in line. The Springfield Republican is putting in a good deal of time attacking th>> Republican party. The Chicago Tn-ter-Oeenn whacks Roosevelt every day, and the Chicago News is also dissatisfied. In New York the Times criticizes Taft’s foolish speeches and the Sun finds Roosevelt intolerable. And the Post, which started out bravely for Taft, now ..speaks of Taft’s tariff arguments as “vagaries" and “silly'’ and “shocking.” In the course of an editorial it says: “Tha panic of 1907 and the hard times which followed, coming at the height of tbat (the Republican) party’s ascendancy and with its tariff in full vigor, disposed at once of the ‘workingman's full dinner pail' as a campaign argument, and that nothing was left except to tell the farmer, who is fortunately still prosperous, that the Republican party makes the wheat grow and the foreign markets bid for it. whereas the Democrats with their Wilson bill in 1S91. blighted the corn crop and prevente.-, the buying of wheat. This was per haps the origin of Dir. Taft’s vagar les; the talk about the tariff bill 'Which sent wheat below B0 cents a bushel is not a whit more specious irrelevant and altogether silly than the argument to the factory hands four and eight years ago. But It was not for Mr. Taft to drag the pitiful stuff to light again. We need not speak of the shock which his use of it lias caused the people whose support of him had been based on belief in his wisdom and good sense.’ —Bluffton Banner.

WIDOW’S WAGES ARE CUT Uncle Sam's Pay for Their Needlework

Is Reduced.

New York. Sept. Ifi.—Their small wages already cut in half by the competition of labor-saving machinery, the needlewomen in the clothing factory in the Brooklyn navy yard have learned with dismay that a further reduction of their earnings is threatened. The women are widows and daughters of Union veterans, and for thirty years they have sewed on by hand the white braid and stars for all the jaekits’ uniforms, numbering from 30,000 to 60.000 a month. Last week the navy department ordered a reduction from 10 cents to 5 cents a garment for

the braiding.

These women cannot vote. They are widows and daughters of old soldiers. They are working under a Republican administration, sewing stars and stripes on the uniforms of Uncle Sam’s

Sherman, spent a great deal of his time today reading from the various newspapers of the country references to iiis speech at Rock Island. 111., Friday, in which he declared Taft ought to he elect) d president for four years and then returned for another four years, and at the end of that time give way to Roosevelt for two more terms. Congressman Longworth said he made the statement in all seriousness and he was delighted that most of the papers "played up” the story on their first page. Congiessman Longworth cut out all dispatches on the Rock Island address he could find and especially those that had been run on the first page of the various papers, and said he would send them to Mr. Roosevelt. The congressman smiled, and as ho tucked the elippings into his vest pocket, replied: “There is another one for ‘Teddy.’ I will have a raft of them to send him and I feel certain he will be delighted.”

DEMOCRATS, BE ON YOUR GUARD. I From the Marion Leader.] On last Monday evening the Chrnn icle of tills city printed alleged interviews with about fifty saloon keepers of Marion and Grant county, in which it made these said liquor dealers say in substance that they were all opposed to th) election of ’’.Tim” Watson for governor, as it would mean the ruination of their business. They were also made to say that they favored the election of Tom Marshall for governor, as it meant the salvation of their business. On Tuesday the Leader called upon these saloon keepers and in every instance the interviews In the Chronicle were pronounced as forgeries. Not one liquor di aler In Marion could be found who had uttered one word to that paper or any other paper on the subject of state politic*. The object of the Chronicle in printing these bogus Interviews with liquor dealers is very plain. It is expected that temperance Democrats of the state can be reached by such deception. Seventy-five per cent of the saloon keepers misquoted are Republicans and are loud in their denunciation of such dirty politics. On Tuesday of this week this same Chronicle had printed 2r>,0O0 copies of their issue of last Monday containing the bogus interviews. These were shipped to the Republican state head quarters at Indianapolis for distribution over the state of Indiana. Not satisfied by trying to betray their own party workers in Grant county, the Chronicle, with the assistance of the state Republican organization, now desires to fool the people of Indiana. Democrats everywhere in the state should he on their guard. Watch for the Marion Chronicle of last Monday with the bogus interviews from saloon keepers. Crush this deception wherever it shows itself.

It was n Canadian newspaper which printed nn advertisement of a nursing I bottle concluding with *lie following: | When the baby is done drinking it must lie unscrewed and laid in a cool place under a tap. If the baby does not thrive on fresh milk It should be boiled.”

Mr. Taft said that he would not kick a man when he was down—meaning Foraker. He just stepped to one side and let Roosevelt do the job. ♦ FILE CERTIFICATES. ♦ ♦ All Certificates of Nominations ♦ ♦ must be filed not later than Oc- ♦ ♦ tober 17th. ^

Springfield Republican is putting in a good deal of time attacking the Re publican party. The Chicago Inter Ocean whacks Roosevelt every day, and the Chicago News Is also dissatisfied. In New York the Times criticizes Taft's foolish speeches and the Sun finds Roosevelt Intolerable. And the Post, which started out bravely for Taft, now speaks of Taft's tariff arguments as “vagaries” and as “silly” and "shocking.” In the course of an

editorial it says:

“The panic of 1907 and the hard times which followed, coining at the height of that I the Republican] party’s ascendancy and with its tariff in full vigor, disposed at once of the ‘workingman’s full dinner pall' as a campaign argument, and that nothing was left except to tell the farmer, who is fortunately still prosperous, that the Republican party makes the wheat grow and the foreign markets bid for it, whereas the Democrats, with their Wilson bill in 1894, blighted the com crop and prevented the buying of wheat. This was, perhaps, the origin of Mr. Taft's vagaries; the talk about ‘the tariff bill which sent wheat below 50 cents n bushel’ is not a whit more specious, irrelevant and altogether silly than the argument to the factory hands four and eight years ago. But it was not for Mr. Taft to drag the pitiful stuff to light again. We need not speak of the shock which his use of it has caused to people whose support of him had been based on belief in his wisdom and good sense.” THE PANAMA CANAL SCANDAL. Everyone remembers the secrecy with which the Roosevelt administration carried through the negotiations which resulted in the purchase of the interests in the old French company. The United States paid for the French rights $10,000,000 It was announced that the payment of that sum was a great boon to the thousands of French

The Hannei- I’lease Answer.

Greencastle, Ind., Oct. 13. Editor Herald: I read in a local Republican paper that the election of William J. Bryan would "level” the industries of the country and “prostrate” all manner of trade. I would call the editor’s attention to the fact that on the outer edge othe city is a magnificent tin plate plant, a costly affair, that stands there day after day in solitude and quiet, a monument to man’s faith In the prosperity that “walks hand in hand with the Republican party.” The editor of the local Republican paper has always been deeply interested In this great plant, and h,ir pretended to be on the ‘‘inside”'’’in regard to its affair;. I would like for him to tell us who ‘’levelled” this industry and “prostrated” the tin plate trade in Greencastle. Was it William Jennings Bryan, or was it the steel trust that Mr. Bryan it so courageously fighting; the steel trust that is financing the Taft campaign? Will the Republican business men of this town think over this question carefully, and if they decide that the steel trust is responsible for the "prostration” of this industry, we will ask them: Under whose administration was the condition conceived and nurtured that made it possible for the steel trust to “level" it? Was it. Mr. Bryan’s or was it the administration of the man who lias devoted all the vast power of his office to have Mr. Taft and the steel trust to succeed in this campaign. Yours truly, ANTI-TAFT.
