JUDGES AND CORPORATIONS. Just how far the Republican protection of corporations has extended may be seen in the recent decision of the supreme court of the United States in the North Carolina and Minnesota Railroad cases. The court has decided, practically, that a state has no right to make legislation governing corporations within her boundaries. It decided - hat tke twocont fare law of North Carolina was Illegal because of the severity of the punishment for violation. The court seems to hold that laws are not made to be enforced, and that punishment, therefore, ought to be so mild that a law could be broken and the breaker not suffer particularly. This Is illustrated in a minor way by the autoniobilist and the police court. To fire an owner of a $10.000 automobile $10 for fast driving has never -topped the speeding nor given safety to the public. Light fines for violation of a liquor law never drove a '’rug store out of the liquor business. To fine a corporation a small sum for robbing the public has never given any protection. Now it is understood that J. D. Rockefeller and Standard Oil •will hide behind this decision, claiming the fine imposed by Landis was excessive. The Judges of the supreme court have been appointed by Republicans, have Republican Ideals and prejudices, and like most of the leading Republicans believe In protecting the "interests” at the expense of the people. Railroad conditions in North Carolina and the South lhave been rotten. J. P. Morgan has openly and boldly robbed the shippers of that section, and now the court declares the state has no right to protect its citizens. It surrenders the public to the greed of the "Saver of His Country,’’ Mr. Morgan. It is time that this tendency to interfere with the rights of the states should be seen in Its true light, and the states take measures % through the ballot to protect themselves.

has discovered. Public opinion will usually make law effective or noneffective. Mr. Marshall was right when he said that he believed that public opinion was awaVoThlng, and that in the future we would tolerate less law violation, less technical defeat of law's purposes and aims. Mr. Marshall is a true Democrat, believing in the rule of the peoplet Lawshould represent the wishes of the people in so far as it may without transgressing moral standards. What the people want badly, sooner or later they will have, and our concern Is not so much with the laws that are framed as with the public opinion that demands their framing.

OUR PLATFORM.
The Democrats In state convention at Indianapolis have adopted a platform that we believe well rep-
resents the beliefs and desires of the , entering class,
majority, perhaps all, of the party. His father was Immediately sumOf course it Is not startlingly new. j moned and arrlved from hla hom c-
that Miller touched this piece of bare wire as he went to turn off the lamp. He was standing on the register at the time and In his bare feet. His hands probably were damp as he*had washed them just previous to the accident. Under such conditions it does not take many volts of electricity to kill a man and especially if a man has a weak heart. Mr. Miller was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and of the Freshman class. He had worked as assistant secretary to President Hughes. He was considered one of the most brilliant students of the
MARSHALL FOR GOVERNOR. Tbit Thomas R. Marshall of Columbia City should be the nominee for governor on the Democratic ticket was little suspected by any Democrat in Putnam County. Mr. Marshall Is not well-known here. He comes to<the party, however, with a record for cleanness, strength and ability. In some ways the watcher of the state convention can but re member the national convention of 189C whefi an unknown man from Nebraska won his way to the nomination for president, and became thereafter the most beloved individual in the United States. Like Bryan, Marshall is a man <of pure life. Like Bryan again, he is' a scholar and a thinker, originating his ideas of policy and expediency for himself, taking th<|pi from no man. Like Bryan, too, he is an orator. No man In Indiana, it is asserted can surpass him for clear, logical, forceful, moving speech. As the delegates came to know more of Marshall, as they learned of his record, saw his personality, heard his voice, they fell In love with the man, until, when the last ballot had been cast and he was nominated, all were willing to follow him wherever he proposed to lead. And when he stood before the convention, and In a voice that trembled, declared that he would give

NVe have heard so much of j
the trusts, the tariff and of extrava- [ gance, that it seems at first glance, as we note them again in our plat-
form. that they are old and hackney°d. That they are old. and yet unreformed shows how badly the Democratic party Is needed In power. These things have been crying evils for many years. The Republicans have cried out against them, have pretended to take measures to reform them, and have only added to their strength. There Is not one of us that does not suffer from one of these evils—from all of them. Each man contributes no small part of his yearly earnings to swell the already swollen bank account of trusts that base their power to do us harm upon a protective tariff. It is no idle threat that appears in our platform calling fo^ immediate reform. It is a forceful and powerful statement of What is to do, and what must be done. Nor is the plank touching federal court injunctions ^ither uncalled for nor anarchistic. The federal co.urt has often, of late, overstepped its powers. They have enjoined states from controlling railroads and corporations, and enjoined governors of states from enforcing the laws of the states, and have brought about a condition of affairs bordering closely on monarchistic government, something undemocratic and hated by American people. The temperance plank too, is not radical, though a step In advance of former laws, and the demand for direct election of senators Is but flic voicing of general demand. As a whole it Is a sane and safe and Dem-
ocratic platform.

\S TO LAW.
T. R. Marshall, candidate for Governor on the Democratic ticket, has been saying some things since his nomination ihat show his calibre as a thinker. These sayings make plain that he is a safe man to place at the head of state affairs. Especially is his attitude toward legislation worthy of note. He declares that we do not need more laws, but bet'er enforcement of the laws we have This is hackneyed but true. At the present time there is too much defeating the law through technicality and misconstruction. In many Instances the law has been forgotten entirely. We read often of some attorney digging up a law still upon the statute books that few lawyers, even, were aware of. After all law accomplishes little. In reality It is public opinion that counts. Even rt pure food law cannot be enforced in a community where public opinion is against it, as the state board
