MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1906. TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican

Congress.

The Congressional campaign must

be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and,

that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central

thought in the campaign.

We desire to maintain the work of

this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Repufr

licans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents

issued by the Committee.

Help us achieve a great victory.

At First Its Object Were Laudable, bat It Sabaeqaently Brrame m Cruel and Vnjnat Power Some of Ita Oat-

ragrani Penalties.

When the Earl of Richmond had defeated Richard III. at Bosworth and

had been crowned king as Henry VIL, he found the times in tso troubled a state that men whose rights were infringed upon or denied them dared not

apply for justice to the ordinary courts. The unblushing manner in which

bribes and threats were resorted to by those that had influence over the pro

ceedings of these courts denied to them

the security of a juror's oath.

To reach a mischief that had grown

so intolerable Henry, feeling himself strong enough with his second parliament, created a court made up of

the highest officers of the kingdom,

embracing, tbeoretieally the king himself, who was considered the author of all justice, to which were confided

unlimited power and discretion over a large, undefined class of offenses, many of which were of a political character, without the restraint of a jury and

subject to no revision by appeal.

This was afterward known as the court of the star chamber, so called

because the ceiling of the room In

which it met was studded with stars

or because Ju this apartment prior to

the time of Edward I. the contracts of the Jews, called starrs, were de

posited in boxes or chests.

This scheme had good results at first. Wealthy landowners who had op

pressed their neighbors with lnpunity

were brought before this court, where neither fear nor favor could avail, and tried for their offenses. The greatest merit of the court was that it was not

dependent on a jury, for juries were

unable or unwilling to render a verdict

In keeping with their consciences.

One said, "A court thus constituted, with powers so broad and a discretion

unlimited by prescribed rules, though

called into existence for wise and salu

tary purposes, was in the end like in

voking the spirit of mischief without

a corresponding power m reserve to

lay it or check its excesses If inclined

to abuse its authority.

Instead of losing power as the neces

sity for its existence passed away it

drew to itself new elements of strength

and enlarged the extent of its jurisdic

tion. It became, after successive administrations under the hands of am

bitious leaders such as flourished in

the time of Henry VIII., Elizabeth and the two Stuarts, a most potent engine

of despotic rule and intolerance. Tor-

tore, intimidation and other devices

were used to compel the accused to in

criminate himself.

Charles I., through the star chamber.

filled his coffers. During his reign such

enormous fines were imposed or triv

ial offenses that the audience gathered

about the courtroom at 3 o'clock in the

morning to secure seats to hear the

proceedings. The discretionary power

of the court In the way of punishment

made It a means of cruel injustice in

the hands of bad men, instances of which disgrace the history of its administration during the reigns of

James I. and Charles L

One of the most remarkable cases

was that of Bishop Williams, who had

been lord keeper of the seal, a popular

prelate and a man of learning and spirit and at one time a special favor

ite of James. While enjoying his pat

ronage he exerted his influence in be

half of Laud, afterward archbishop, who owed his first promotion to his

good offices. Some disagreement arose

between them. Nothing would satisfy

Laud but the ruin of the man who

had befriended him.

On some slight pretext the bishop

was brought before the star chamber

and fined 10,000, committed to the

Tower during, the king's pleasure and

suspended from office. His furniture

apd books wer levied upon to pay the fine. Among some refuse papers were found some letters from Obaldiston, a

schoolmaster, directed to the bishop. In

tbese letters the writer spoke of a "little great man" and in one place of

a ' little urchin." As Laud was small of stature, it was conjectured that these terms referred to him. They were both tried, one for receiving such scandalous letters and the other for writing them. Williams paid a fine of

8,000 and Obaldiston 5,000, and he

had his ears nailed to the pillory.

Prynne, a barrister at law, of Lin

coln's Inn, a Puritan of the strictest

sect, published his famous "Ilistrio

Mastix, a huge volume of 1,000 quarto

pages, aimeu at stage plays, music

Mr. Prynne. in his general sweep for

his historical illustration of the mischief of frequenting plays, referred to

Nero and spoke of Flavius and others who conspired against him for his bad

example upon the magistrates, and the people. The chief justice from this in

ferred that the author intended to in

stigate the people to murder the king, and Prynne was deprived of his right

of practice as a barrister, condemned

to stand iu the pillory at Westminster and Cneapside. to lose his ears,, one at each of these places, to pay a fine of 3.000 and to be Imprisoned for life.
