THE STANDARD

THE ACTION OF THE UNITED STATES Court of Appeals in reversing the Judgment of Judge Landis, wherein the Standard Oil company of Indiana was fined upwards of $29,000,000, will give almost universal satisfaction.

Not that there is any pronounced feeling against the prosecution, nor that j

there is any sentiment that the company is innocent of wrong doing, but because of the manner in which the case was tried the apparently cheap hid for public applause and the revolutionary principle involved in the enormity of the fine. It Is a matter of sincere congratulation that there are still in this country judicial bodies who cannot be swerved or influenced by the excited ebullitons of thoughtless, hasty public opinion. The opinion of the Court of Appeal does not deal with the guilt or innocence of the defendant company but does deal with a question of vastly more importance and that is the question of the right of any individual or corporation, charged with the violation of a law, to a fair impartial sane and sober trial acoordingto recognized rules of practice. It is also a salutary v,.araing that the bench is a poor place to seek popular applause. It is refreshing to realize that the maxim that in the eyes of the law there are no rich, no poor is soberly upheld. If it is a dangerous situation wherein a poor man on account of his poverty cannot set justice it is fully, if not more, a dangerous situation wherein the rich man on account of his wealth is also deprived of justice, for the reason there is the temptation to punish the rich and thus win the applause of the unthinking. The opinion declares the defendant was not fairly tried, the punishment unusual and confiscatory, that laws for centuries designed to protect people in securing them a fair trial and no punishment without trial was ignored. In this respect the opinion is wholesome and encouraging. Encouraging in the reflection that if a court through mistake, zeal or foolish enthusiasm overstep the lines that mark the sacred rights of the people, rich or poor, that the judiciary of the country is big enough and brave enough to rectify the wrong. It is another marked manifestation that the courts are the safe guards of the people's liberties, and in those sacred precincts the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the influential and the despised may seek and receive equal rights and equal and exact justice. A "CRACKING GOOD" ORGANIZATION.

THE MEMBERS OF THE GARY

members of the Hammond Business Men's association many things about conducting an organization of the kind and especially in the planning and opening of the Gary harbor. One of the reasons for the success of the Gary club is shown by the fact that when the Gary Commercial club undertook to make the opening of the harbor one of the biggest events of its kind that was ever held in Indiana, it had $750 in tho treasury. This amount had been accumulated after the salary of a secretary had been paid regularly and a great many other expenses were met. Consequently when tho Gary Commercial club found an opportunity to advertise the city the length and bredth of the land it had the money to do so. There were no subscription lists circulated by long faced money extractors who had to tell an ancient mariner's tale before the merchant could bo induced to loosen up and help a good thing along. There was not the usual spectacle cf a few merchants, the liberal few, paying the expenses while the many, the sponging many, enjoyed the benefits without the expense. Over two hundred of the merchants of Gary find It an advantage to belong to a commercial club which costs them $10 for an initiation fee and $20 a year dues. These two hundred merchants by paying their dues have contributed to a general fend which is spent as wisely as the club knows how for the advancement and advertisement of the city. When the expensive celebration of yesterday was over with, there were 200 Gary business men with clear conciences who could say, "My money helped to make that celebration a success. I gave not only by money but my time and I am amply rewarded." Had that member of the Commercial clnb been outside of the organization he would probably have been picking flaws in the celebration and persuading himself that such things do not help the city much after all. Another advantage of an organization which collect from its members an annual assessment sufficient make a showing is that it Interests the outsider. In Gary there were tightwads who were reluctant to part with the $10 Initiation fee but when they saw that the present members were putting on a show that was alone worth the Initiation fee they began to scramble aboard the band wagon. Some time ago the matter of dues came up in the Hammond Business Men's association and when some one suggested $15 a year or $5 less, that the members of the Gary club have to pay there was a wail which could be heard a block away. One man actually got up in the meeting and said that he did not know what the association would do with bo much money. He said that it would simply accumulate until it would actually be a problem to know what to do with it. That man's Ideas of the possibilities of a commercial club do not need to be explained. The upshot of the whole argument was that the association voted to make the fee BO cents a month. ABk the average member of tho association If it ha been "worth" fifty cents a month and eee what he Bays.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye. WHY? WHY? WHY? Why does a baseball pitcher receive $10,000 a year for his work and a settlement worker only $000 a year? Why Is the president of a life Insurance company paid $100,000 In salary and perquisites, while the hard worked head of a school draws a meager wage? Why do we pay the iighest price to the man who saves our dollars and the lowest price to the man who saves our souls? Why does the world offer fortunes to the man who shows us how to make money and starvation wages to the man who shows us how to make beautiful lives? Why do we accord highest piace to money mongers and lowest place to teachers Tf ideals? Why do men fuse body and soul, brain and conscience. Into a frenzied money madness? Simply because the fullness of time has not yet come for a people to discard false standards of civilization, because onr people have not held the right estimates of human life. We have stumbled over the definition of the supreme good. Here and there noble men have pointed ns to higher ideals, but we have not heeded. But Thank goodness, a change is coming over the spirit of American dreams. We are beginning to raise right standards. It Is this way: Heretofore only the material things have concerned us. We must master a continent. We must girdle the globe with our commerce. In this accom plishment we have grasped the occult forces of nature and 6olved, as no oth er people have solved, the problem of the production of wealth. Now we must stop! We are up against a greater prob-lera-the EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION of wealth. Ah, tlrst Is different! When yon start to study TnAT problem yon run against all sorts of moral laws humnnitarianism, justice, righteousness. Yon begin to see how false is the standard that pays the MOST to him who ministers to the LOWEST and the LEAST to him who ministers to the HIGHEST. And so We are beginning to see that MEX and not MONET, are the supreme good; that the greatest wealth Is CHARACTER; that the only real things worth producing are MANHOOD and WOMANHOOD.

PROHIBITIONISTS ARE BUSY White Ribboners Say That They Will Poll More Votes Than Ever.

Indianapolis, J uly 25. The prohibi-j tlonists of the state are expecting to do some business next fall. The party managers Insist that they will poll more votes than ever before. They do not expect to elect any of their candidates but they confidently predict that in various communities they will hold the balance of power. The "white ribboners" declare that prohibition is more popular now than ever before. They say that the action of the southern states in forbidding the manufacture and sale of liquor has done worlds toward popularizing their cause. They admit that they formerly were regarded as fanatics now, they say t.hey are looked upon as saviors. Don't Expert Relief. The prohis also point out that the temperance movement has led people, after all, to think that the third party is the only one that is sincere and honest concerning the drink evil. The public has come to think, they say. that hope for relief from either of the two dominant parties is futile. They rejoice that the temperance question is to the front as the voters will, in the end, they declare, abandon both the republican and democratic parties, which they argue, are controlled in whole or part by the brewers and liquor deajers, and give their support to the prohibition ticket. It may be true that temperance is more popular now than heretofore and that the drink evil is forging to the front for solution, but it is hardly true that prohibition is stronger now in Indiana than in former years. The anti-saloon sentiment, however, and the belief that brewers and liquor dealers ought to keep out of politics are strong. Unfortunately, the prohibitionists and the workers of the antisaloon league do not get along together. In fact, the two branches of the temperance camp fight each other in season and out. The prohis accuse the leaguers of compromising with sin and the league workers laugh at the white ribboners as being theorists who talk anil pray without getting in a.y licks on the drink monster, who is the common enemy of both branches. A Strange State of Affairs. It would not be surprising to find the brewers and liquor dealers supporting the prohibition candidates for the legislature in certain counties this fall. This seems astounding, but here are the facts that lead to this conclusion: The prohis will not vote for county local option or any other kind of local option. They think that any legislation recognizing the saloon or the sale F.mlg, a young attorney of this city, who is seeking the republican nomination for representative, went to Azalla this week in search of votes, but found work Instead. When he reached the farm of Lewis Davis he saw Oscar Newsom and his thrashers busy. Tin thrashers gave Emig a fork and tolT him to go to work. The candidate was not to be bluffed, so he pitched wheat all morning, ate a hearty dinner with the thrashers and pitched wheat aga'n all afternoon. Never a word did he say about politics, but kept right at his task. In the evening he ate supper with the men, then boarded a car and came back to Columbus. As he left the scene he informed the men that he wou'd come down some other time and talk pclltlcs. Congressman James Lloyd of Mis souri, chairman of the democratic con gressional committee, expects to opea the headquarters for his committee in Chicago about August 15. Dr. James B. Bradley of Eaton Rap ids Is making a whirlwind campaign for the nomination for governor of Michigan. The matter la to be settled at a general primary the first of Sep tember. Barratt O'Hara, who is a candldato for the democratic nomination for representative in congress from the tenth district in Illinois, is a well known writer and authority on matters per taining to pugilism. The democratic, the republican an! the socialist parties will have complete tickets In the general primary election to be held In Oklahoma early in August. About 350,000 ballots will be required for the primary. The socialist national committee Is arranging to send a special train, painted a bright red ,on a sixty-day tour of the country, beginning August 30, with Eugene V. Debs, the presidential candidate, aboard. Debs is scheduled to speak from three to five t'mea a day. Announcement has been made by CoL Cecil Lyon, head of the republican party In Texas, that Judge Taft has promised to make a number of speeches In Texas between now and election time In the interest of the Texas republican ticket, which Is soon to be chosen. Four candidates are now In the field for the presidential nomination on the independence party ticket, which Is to be named at a national convention in Chicago next week. They are Thomas L. Hisgen of Massachusetts, Charles A. Walsh of Iowa, N. W. Howard of Alabama, and Howard S. Taylor of Illinois.

of liquor is wrong. Nothing but total prohibition will suffice. All else is criminal, inasmuch as it Is a compromise with crime. Take a county, where the prohis are relatively strong and for speculative purposes assume that the republicans are slightly in tho majority. The republican candidate, standing on his party platform, will be for county local option the one thing most dreaded by the brewers. Now then what is Mr. Brewer and Mr. Liquor Dealer going to do? He can't let the republican get himself elected. He can't swing the prohis to the democrats because they are fighting for principle and could not be swung In a thousand years. What then can he do but seek to swing the riff raff of both the republican and democratic parties to the prohibition candidate? It is the riff raff that is swingahle by the liquor element and it would Just as leave vote for a prohi as for any one else if hu knew that it was a vote for booze. The prohi, if elected, could not vote for prohibition because no bill of that kind would be in existence; he would not vote for county local option because that would be selling himself to the devil: he would vote his principles and find himself lined up with the scalawags, etc., elected by the liquor forces to prevent temperance legislation. Brewers In Politics. The brewer is in politics for results this year and he does not care how results are obtained. With him the election Is a matter of life and death. Gradual Inroads have been made by the anti-saloon and temperance forces until he can stand it no longer. The brewer is preparing to make one final stand. If he loses he loses; if he wins, he knocks in the head everything that has preceded. The brewers and liquor dealers think that the time is ripe for a ten-strike. They think that the public is disposed to believe that

things have gone too far. They are telling themselves that If they can win this time they can swing the pendulum back and undo all that has been done and in addition to this give the temperance movement a body blow from which it will never recover. Money will be spent, as the brewers have unlimited resources and allied businesses of all kinds will be dragged Into the fray. For the most part the democrats will be the beneficiaries of the brewers' aid, but in some localities the republican candidates will be supported. It is not republicanism or democracy with the brewers, but a plain, simple, commercial proposition, devoid of politics and free of morals and sentiment.
