YOUTHFUL RIVAL OF AUTHOR-SOCIALIST
(Continued from rage One.) IPM.IWIHI II III B M ..I II .HI! Ithe traditions of our free American republics to find language properly to characterize this radical Intrusion. It Is an assault on the citadel of law and order. It Is an attempt to destroy the independence of the Judiciary, without which true liberty the liberty which I Is regulated by law, enforced with rea(son and deliberation, cannot exist, and to substantiate the opinion and the .passions of the mob. It draga down the Goddess and sets the hydraheaded Demos on the throne of justice, and enables the Ignorant suffragan to ostracise a Judicial Astrldew, because She is tired of hearing his judgments i called Just. It Is more than probable jthat this proposed legislation is one tof the symptoms of the political, bo'cial and economic unrest that pervades Ithe whole nation. The burring ueqs'tion that now agitates the rafnd of the i American people is how to control the ) corporations; how to break up those i great aggregations which seem to be (almost as powerful as the government tatself, and how to prevent their forma ftion in the future. . Both Seek These Ends, i These ends are sought both by radijcals and conservatives. The radicals 'of course propose to destroy things i generally, regardless of consequences. The conservatives read the signs of : the times, realize the danger of the growing excitement among the masses of the people, and are seeking an exit from the situation that will conserve political liberty and industrial ' prosperity. The stock corporation is now an abiaolutely essential piece of machinery ! In commerce. Without It the great affairs of modern times would not have I been undertaken, and if undertaken would not have been accomplished. In spite of all the enormous corporate development that has taken place in this country and in England in the last half century, and in spite of the reckless throwing down by the states of this Union of all the barriers anciently maintained against. the indiscriminate organization of business corporations there has always been among the masses of the people a strong bias against corporations, manifentlng it
self in the verdicts of juries, and sometimes In the opinion of the courts. This bias has now passed over '-to politics, and the favorite ground c attack by the demagogue cn anybody is public life, or on anyone who desires to en- : ter public life, 1b that he represents corporate Interest, or that he is a corporation lawyer. The people themselves are responsible for the conditions of which they now complain; if there are Frankenj steins in corporate from stalking over the land, spreading terror and threatJcnlng destruction, the people themelves have created them by their 'duly accredited representatives in the ; legislature of the states. Greed for Revenue.
During the last ten years there seems to have been a competition between the states as to which of them would be able to invent and adopt the most unrestricted corporation laws. The spur to this competition has been a greed for Vevenue, and the encouragement lay in the success of the state of New JerBey, which was the pioneer in this legislation. Out of her bosom have come the great trusts, the holding companies and the gigantio monopolies, all with their water-log
ged capital stocks. But there are now f eight other states prepared to compete with her in the launching of similar piratical craft upon the sea of com1 t merce. ' Whether these enormous corpora-
tions are formed by original incorpora- ' tlon, or by consolidations or merger, ! or by the holding of the capital stocks of other corporations, the economic , result is the same. Each of these ! forms spells practical monopoly. The result reached rather than the method of reaching the result is what concerns 'the public, and no amount of technlcal reasoning will convince the peoypl that a monopoly produced by one i of these methods is any different from a monopoly produced by any other of Uhem. Hence all these large corporajtlona are popularly regarded as public enemies, and there Is a general be

Harry Kemp, the young poet, whom Upton Sinclair, the famous author and social colonizer, names in his suit for divorce which he says he is soon to institute against his wife. Mr. Sinclair objected to the attention the young poet paid to Mrs. Sinclair while he was on a visit to the author's summer home at Arden, Delaware. According to Mr. Sinclair, his wife then went to New York to go on the "stage p.nd be independent" and Kemp soon followed, also with a stage career in view. In a statement which he gave out in New York, Mr. Sinclair declares that he has received a letter from his wife which so clearly indicates her affection for the young poet that he has nd hope for a reconciliation and further says that he believes it contains sufficient grounds for a divorce under the laws of New York state.
lief that if the republic does not slay them, they will slay the republic. Suggests a Remedy. The economic advantages, if any, that flow from these vast aggregations of capital, are drowned in the firm belief that they exercise too much political power, that they exercise such power selfishly and unscrupulously, that they bar the door to private enterprises, blight local industries, cramp the industrial freedom of individuals, destroy equality of opportunity and extinguish all hope and hence all ambition for industrial independence and autonomy. Is there a remedy for all these evils? Manifestly, there is, and it lies in the source from which the evils
have Bprung, that is, in modifying the corporation laws of the various states. Concerted action among the states will end all, the trouble. If every state in the Union will purge its corporation laws of all objectionable features, then the breeding places of industrial monr stroslties are destroyed. If every state under whose laws these montrositics have been brought into being will exercise its reserved power over
corporations and compel them either to
conform to the new regime or to dissolve and liquidate, then the existing crop will be destroyed without hope of successors.
OVER mil DEED Plight of Charles Price in Eaton Jail, Pitiful Victim Buried Today.
(Palladium Special) EATON, O., Aug. 29. A retrospection of events leading up to the moment he committed a crime that has branded him a murderer has brought Charles Price into a full realization of the seriousness of the charge with which he is now confronted. He has weakened and his plight is truly pitiful. Confined within the dismal walls of the county jail the seemingly long hours to him are spent in a continuous worry and repentance. He has admitted to Sheriff William S. Boner his repentance. He directly attributes his crime to drink. Price was taken from the jail Monday morning and arraigned before Police Magistrate Joseph A. Kennel, who designated Wednesday as the day upon which he would be given a preliminary hearing on the charge of murder in the first degree. He was remanded to the county Jail. It is probable,
however, that he will waive the right
for an examination and plead not guilty, and go to jail to await the action of the grand jury, summoned to report Monday, September 11. , . Funeral of Avery. The body of Frank Avery, killed by a blow from an ax handle wielded by Price in a fit of drunken frenzy, was taken from the home of Al. H. Boomershine Monday and taken to his home in the Mutton ville neighborhood, where funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. Clarke Li. Gowdy, pastor of the Camden Methodist church. His body was interred in Fairmount cemetery at Camden. The services were attended ' by hundreds of Avery's friends and many relatives, whose presence was prompted by a desire to pay a last sad tribute and not for the sake of curiosity. He was universally liked and his death is mourned more than any occurring in the Muttonville neighborhood in recent years. Upon order of the court Sheriff William S. Boner went to Avery's home Monday and made an examination for valuables and to take charge of his chattels. A search through the house brought to light an insurance policy Avery had carried on . his life. The policy was in the amount of $200, but had become invalidated by reason of non-payment of the premium. The only money found was taken from the
clothing ATery wore, aad totaled $53.01- ' ; V . The predicament into which Price has lodged himself has caused almost unbearable anguish on the part of his young wife and mother, both of whom are grief -striken. Neither have visited him since his arrest. His wife is at the home of her mother, Mrs. Alice
Harshman, East Spring street, while his mother has remained at the country home of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Price, 9 miles north of Eaton on the
Gimlet road.
Price is the possessor of many friends, and the outcome of the case against him is watched with considerable anxiety. His neighbors were shocked to hear of the crime, as Charles has always been an energetic and thrifty farmer, and not at all given to quarrelsome traits. Coroner James L. Quinn held an examination Monday afternoon at the city hall and questioned a number of witnesses and several who in a direct way knew something of the affair. His finding has not yet been filed, but it will probably hold that Avery came to his death by a blow inflicted by an ax handle in Price's hands. It is thought the coroner's verdict, whatever it may be, will have a considerable bearing in the decision of the case in the courts.
RELATIVES DEIIY SUICIDE: THEORY But Coroner Finds that Fred Hasemeier DeliberatelyPlanned His Death.
THREATENJOL, OTIS Blackmailer Wants $10,000 Promised a Bomb.
(National News Association) LOS ANGELES. Cal., Aug. 29. On
the eve of the trial of John J. and James McNamara, who are charged with blowing up the Los Angeles Times building, Col. Harrison Grey Otis, owner of the newspaper, has received threats of another bomb. According to the publisher an unidentified person telephoned that unless he left $10,000 at an appointed place he either would be shot or his home destroyed by dynamite. The police placed a guard about the house.
Brides Who Perch In Trees. Among the Lolos of western China it Is customary for the bride on the wedding morning to perch herself on the highest branch of a large tree while the elder female members of her family cluster on the lower limbs armed with sticks. When all are duly statioued the bridegroom clambers up the tree, assailed on all sides by blows, pushes and pinches from the dowagers, and it is not until he has broken through their fence and captured the bride that he is allowed to carry her ol.
Relatives of the late Frederick Hasemeier disagree with Coroner R. J. Pierce that the decedent committed suicide by drowning in Glen Miller lake early last Thursday morning, but are inclined to the belief that his death was entirely accidental and that he would have been revived had his body been removed from the water as soon as it was discovered. Coroner Pierce filed his report with county clerk, George Matthews Tuesday and in it declares that death was due to deliberate and willful suicide. Viewing all the circumstances in the case the relatives affirm their opinion that he went to the edge of the lake to
wash his hands and being in poor health, became dizzy and fell in. As he was revived by the cold water, he floundered around and his fee became imbedded in the mud which held him fast until he could fight no longer to free himself, and also they contended the mud held him in the up
right' and partly submerged position in which he was found by W. E. Ross, the eight-year-old son of Dr. Paul Ross. Went to Park Daily. The relatives say -that Mr. Hasemeier was accustomed to go to the Glen very early almost every morning. His visits there were nothing unusual. They believe that had he deliberately planned to commit suicide he would have addressed a note to someone, but nothing of such a character has since been found. On the morning of his death, it had been raining and
they believe that he had taken off his coat and folded it on the bank waere it was found and went to the edge of the lake to wash his hands and that In stooping over he became dizzy. It has not been announced whether there will be an attempt to have the verdict set aside, and the case reopened. Relatives allege that If the body had been removed by the fishermen as soon as their attention, was called to its discovery, and attempts at resuscitation made, these would have been successful. Relatives hold Hasemeier was not dead but merely unconscious when first discovered and that he drowned in the interim between the time of discovery and the time the coroner reached the lake. In reference to the finding of his hat and coat, both dry, and laying on the bank, the coroner says: "The hat and coat were found on the lake bank as if taken off deliberately and purposely before said Hasemeier deliberately and willfully entered the water for the purpose of taking his own life." George T. Brady, a railroader, living at 2021 North C street, who was fishing at the south end of the lake said he had been at the lake a half to threequarters of an hour before his atten
tion was called to the finding of the' body. He said he had neither seen Hasemeier nor heard anything to draw his attention to the northern part of the pond. The coroner declares also there was nothing to indicate death, had been due to violence.
POSSE OF TEXANS -SEEK NEGRO LECHER
DCRANT, Okla., Aug. 29. Another burning at the stake is feared should a posse of angry farmers capture a negro man. disguised as a woman, who attempted to attack Mrs. A. Wllkersonat Colbert, fifteen miles from here. The chase, originally led by Sheriff Hamilton, was reported early today to have led across the Texas line. Hamilton gave up pursuit when he reached Denison. The negro used Mrs. Wllkerson's 3 year-old daughter for a shield when he escaped.
Between 1900 and 1910 the value of lands in farms in the south more than doubled, increasing from $2,3SS,592,0O0 to $5,207,200,000, or by $2,818,608,000, equal to 11S per cent.
CHILDREN'S ILLS IM SULIHER The hardest period of a child's life is during the heated term. It is then that the little men and women become so subject to stomach and bowel troubles. With one it manifests itself in the form of obstinate constipation, with another USE tne very reversc diarrhea. One is as bad and pp cai nufri lie as dangerous as the other. Constipation makes CWBIIB de'dciVi the Cn'' 'ose aPPet'te and sleep, makes it SYRUP PEPSIN languid and sickly-looking. Diarrhea weakens it and destroys appetite and energy. Piles, pimples, eruptions, itch, worms, etc., follow in the train until many a mother feels that her child is indeed very ill. But these are all troubles that can be easily cured. The child needs a few doses of a remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the grand laxative and tonic. Parents can make no possible mistake by giving it Syrup Pepsin, as the chances are always in favor of the child needing a laxative. It is sold in two sizes, 50 cents and $1.00, and any druggist can supply you. It cannot be mentioned too strongly that parents should look closely after the welfare of the children during the hot months.
