THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1913. 3 4 LAW IS UPHELD BY COURT U. S, Supreme Court Holds Newspapers Must Publish Sworn Statements (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 12.—As inter preted by it, the supreme court today upheld the constitutionality of the newspaper publicity law enacted as a part of the postal appropriation act of 1912. The particular section attacked was to bar every newspaper and periodical from the mails unless the editors or owners filed with the postal authorities cemi-annual sworn statements giving the names of the editors, owners, stock holders and bondholders and the aver age daily circulation and thereafter im mediately published the statement. It also forbade publication of the paid-for articles without marking them “adver tisements.” . The Journal of Commerce and Com mercial Bulletin, of New York, sought to have the United States district court for southern New York enjoin the post master general from enforcing the act on the ground that it was unconstitu tional. The objection then raised was that the law abridged the freedom of the press. The government defended the law as a regulation of the use of the second-class mail privileges. The New York court sustained the validity of the law in this case, as it did in that brought *by the Lewis Publishing company of New York. It is said the law affects more than 25,000 publications in the United States. Chief Justice White interpreted the regulation objected to as being not a restriction of the freedom of the press but merely as affixing additional con ditions for admission of newspapers to the mails.* In the course of his opinion he said: “Was the provision intended simply to supplement the existing legislation relative to second-class mail matter, or was it enacted as an exertion of leg islative power to regulate the press, to curtail its freedom and under the as sumption that there was a right to compel obedience to. the comand of legislation that object in view to deprive one who refused to obey, of all right to use the mail service? “When the question is thus defined, its solution is free from difficulty, since by its terms the provision only regulates second-class mail .and the exclusion from the mails for which ir provides is not an exclusion from the mails generally, but only from the right to participate in and enjoin the privileges accorded by the second-class classification.” RECALCITRANT SENATORS ARE DRIVEN TO READ!

Complaints are coming from all sections of this county, 'espe daily from the melon growers. Quite a number of formers, assem bled here today, state It is conservative to estimate that the melon crop has been cut off at least 20 per cent by the unfavorable weather. E. R. Whaley, a large farmer of this section, states that the corn crop has been damaged inestimably by the wind and rains. Farmers were just ready to “lay by” corn when the rains began; but the effect pf the wind has made it prac ticably impossible to plow the corn the last and most important time. Cotton is also suffering from the cool and rainy weather. STRIKE THREATENED IN W. VIRGINIA MINES (Bv Associated Press.) CHARLESTON, W.

WASHINGTON, June 12.—President Wilson has maneuvered the senate into a corner. He has-created a background calculated to reveal recalcitrant Dem ocratic senators as tools of an “insid ious” lobby. If Democratic senators waver on the Underwood bill, the infer ence is that the lobby has “got” them. The Democratic senators know this and the tariff will not be revised upward. They do not dare take the risk, especial ly In these days of /direct elections. The president’s charges of an “in sidious” lobby was one of the most ef fective strokes of practical statesman ship which Washington has witnessed in years. Faced with a critical situa tion in, the. senate, the president built a backfire upbn the senate’s reputation. During the past ten or fifteen years the senate has been known the country over as the milionaires’ club and the citadel of the interests, under Republican con trol. Popular distrust has grown even faster than the senate’s bad reputation. The president struck at the senate’s weakest spot and said, in effect: “If you do what the Interests want rather than what the consumers want, you prove the accuracy of the country’s suspicion. Re vise this bill upward, and you will be branded as a lobby-directed, interest- controlled club of legislative free booters.” The mood of some senators is now Becoming almost the same as it was in the old Roosevelt days. They do not yet hate Wilson as they hated Roose velt, but they are quite as strongly op posed to Wilson’s policies. The presi dent’s tact, however, has made personal animosity out of the question. But if the president puts weak-kneed senators into one or two more disagreeable holes such as this one, Mr. Wilson may be come to some senators one; of the best- hated presidents the country has ever had. Quite likely Mr. Wilson has dis counted this possibility and is willing to take the chance. From the standpoint of popularity it was found in the Roose velt administration that the hostility of the senate was a splendid asset. PLAN RETALIATION. Senators in the privacy of the cloak room discussed methods of getting back at the president. One proposal was that a senator, in testifying at the lobby inquiry, should define a lobbyist as a man who influences legislators to do what they know not to be right; then to declare that a number of Democratic senators are being forced to do what they believe to be wrong and to charge that the pressure influencing them comes from the White House itself. The tes timony of Senator Townsend, of Michi gan, was along the line of this cloak room gossip. The indication is that the country at large is with the president, and that it is taking delight in the strong hand with which he is directing legislative affairs. The people have always en joyed having a president who knows what he wants and knows how to get it. Woodrow Wilson is proving himself just about that kind of a president. So even if this program, started by Townsend, is fully carried out, the sen ate can count upon the gun recoiling in accordance with that law of physics which says that the force in each direc tion is equal. The only question in this case is whether the law of physics will not be smashed by the schoolmaster- president, who shows an inclination to make reaction stronger than action, un less he is the man behind the action. Another proposal which is receiving quiet consideration is to put a crimp into the power of the president. Many senators agree that the president has too much power. This belief has always prevailed in the senate when the White House has contained a determined and brainy president. So now the proposal is renewed to curb the presidential pow er. For instance, the senate would be willing to relieve the president of the power of making many appointments which are confirmed by the senate. This would do away with the opportunity of the White House to coerce senators by withholding .patronage. WITHHOLDING PATRONAGE. Now it is true that President Wilson, whether for effect upon legislation or not, has been going slowly with the distribution of patronage. But it is not at all true that the power of the president is gauged by the dispensing of patronage or by any actual legal rights or limitations. Usually the use of patronage has been a boomerang. Mr. Taft tried it on the insurgents, made them angry and lost power by it. His course was an important step to ward the party smash. The power of the president rests chiefly, if not altogether, upon his own wisdom, his skill as a strategist and the popular approval behind him. If the senators do what the president wants done with the tariff, it is be cause they defy popular disapproval if they do not follow the presidential wish. In the event of opposition from them the president will, of course, use against them the influence of the presidency and will try to retire them to private life. But in this attempt the people will be the jury and the withholding of patronage will only gain sympathy for recalcitrants, in the event that the people consider them right and the president wrong. Mr. Taft had just as much power as either Roosevelt -or Wilson, and used the patronage power in a fashion as striking as is known in modern poli tics. But he was not a powerful presi dent, because he lacked strategical ability, determination and popular ap proval. No legislative enactment or constitutional amendment can head off the sort of power which Mr. Wlson is now exercising, unless perchance the president should be relegated to the same innocuous aloofness as the kings in the exceedingly limited monarchies of Europe. THE SENATE’S ATTITUDE. Senators have tried to take the teeth out of the lobby inquiry. They have de fined a lobbyist as a professional so licitor who uses undue influence and perhaps money. Having pictured the lobbyist as an individual so dark, most of the senators have said that they knew nobody of that sort in Washing ton. This attitude has tended to free the senate of the imputation of harbor ing a lot of hirelings of the interests— which is what the senators were prob ably after. Had the definition been fex tended by all to cover lobbying in tne sense set forth by the average diction ary, the committee would have been provided with a choice assortment of subjects into whose operations they plight inquire. The impression in and out of con gress, however, is that the lobby in Washington is not disreputable in the sense that it formerly was. Washing ton no longer knows the stout railroad agent with passes sticking out of every pocket. When there used to be eight or ten former members of congress lob bying with their one-time colleagues, now there is hardly one. But two former senators are now recognized in Washington as professional lobbyists, Faulkner and Thurston. Nor is there in evidence a lobby of anything like the proportions which haunted the capitol Majority Members of Finance Committee of Senate Considering Reports (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 12.—Majority members of the senate finance commit tee continued today to consider changes in the Underwood tariff bill proposed by the sub-committees. Under discussion today was the met al schedule reduced by Senator Stone's sub-committee, duties on pig iron and ferro manganese having been removed and reductions proposed in structural steel and other rates. The pottery schedule, in which there have been some changes, including increases, also was taken up and the committee ex pected to reach the cotton schedule. With regard to print paper. Senator Johnson’s sub-committee has under consideration a plan to leave paper valued at not more than 2 1-2 cents a pound on the free list, but, in lieu of a proposed countervailing duty, to in sert a clause which would provide for a duty of $2 a ton should restrictions on exports of wood and pulp in the Canadian tariff not be removed within a stated period, probably a year. The provision would not specify Can ada. but that would be the only coun try affected. ANTI-TRUST SUIT FILED Decisive Fight Will Be Made Against Rebellious Moros Entrenched at Bagdad Un der Sultan of Jolo (By Associated Press.) MANILA, P. I., June 12.—Brigadier General John Pershing, commander of the department of Mindanao, has made arrangements to engage in a decisive fight against the rebellious Moros en trenched at Bagdad, under the Sultan of Jolo. A stubborn resistance to the advance of the American troops was expected, and a strong force had therefore been assembled, consisting of a company of regular infantry, a troop of cavalry, seven companies of scouts, two com panies of constabulary with a battery of four mountain guns, and a machine gun platoon. Such precautions had been taken that it -was belieevd the American casualties in the fight would be few. T I Government Charges Quaker People With Controlling Oatmeal Products (By A.soeiftted Pres,.)

STAMFORD, Conn., June 12.—Jere Knode Cooke and Floretta Whaley were married by a justice of the peace in the parlors of a local hotel this morning. The witnesses were a party of friends who came here with the couple last evening. The unfrocked Episcopal clergyman and his bride came here late last even ing after, a trip to Willimantic to get a certified copy of decree of divorce in favor of Mrs. Marinda Clarke Cooke. The certified copy was a necessary pre liminary to the application for a mar riage license in this state. This morning Cooke and Miss Whaley obtained marriage license as soon as the. license clerk’s office opened, and shortly after 9 o’clock the marriage service was read. Mr. and Mrs. Cooke then returned to their home in New York. The divorce decree granted to the former Mrs. Cooke named as co-respond ent Floretta Whaley, with whom Cooke eloped'from Hempstead, L. I., six years ago. Two children have been born to the pair since that time. Since his expul sion from the ministry, Cooke has been working as a house painter in New York. Child In Ohio Has Nine Grandparents Who Are Living Yet (By Associated Press.) * ASHTABULA, O., June 12.—Miss Jean Elisabeth Porter, aged ten months, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Por ter, of Conneaut, is believed to be the luckiest child in the world in the matter of grandparents. She has nine of thorn. They are divided as follows: Grandparents: Her father’s father and mother, Mr.*and Mrs. E. D. Porter, of Cageville, O., and her mother’s father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Peck, of Kingsville, O. Great-grandparents: Her father’s grandmother, Mrs. Mary Jane Swat, of Wanetta, Pa.; her mother’s paternal grandmother and grandfather, Mr. and Mrs. Anson S. Peck, of Kingsville, O., and her mother’s maternal grandmother and grandfather, Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Morrio, of Charleston, O. Long and Bitter Fight Likely to Ensue, Intimates Man Examining Organs (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) BALTIMORE, Md., June 12.—That a long and bitter fight will ensue between the heirs of the late E. O. Painter, the millionaire fertilizer manufacturer, and the combination of insurance companies before the $1,178,000 in policies are paid, is the intimation made' by Dr. C. Glazer, the Baltimore chemist, who is now analyzing the internal organs of the dead man to decide whether death was caused by an accident or poison. Dr. Glazer has not completed his re port. In fact, he says it will be some time before the chemical analysis of the stomach, liver and kidneys of the wealthy Florida man can .be made. As soon as it is completed it will be for warded to the coroner of Jacksonville, who ordered the examination made. The chemist would give no specific in formation as to what he had already •found, but he hinted that some trace of poison had been detected. Should it be found that Mr. Painter died from the effects of poisoning instead of drowning, as first reported, the bula of insurance money will cause a legal battle. Painter was on a ferry boat in the St. Johns river when he was taken, it is said, with a violent coughing spell arid fell into the water. Redmond Stewart, of Barton, Wilmer & Stewart, representing one of the in surance companies’ interest, has super vised the investigation here. It is ex pected that Dr. Glazer will make a formal report within a few days.

NEGRO ESCAPES GALLOWS FOR KILLING ANOTHER Governor Brown Tuesday morning commuted the sentence of Wash Dean, a negro, scheduled to hang Friday at Perry. Houston county, to life impris onment; In doing so the governor act ed upon the recommendation of the prison commission, the trial judge and the solicitor general who prosecuted Dean. The negro was convicted at the Oc tober term of the Houston superior court for the murder of Tom Johnson, another negro. According to the rec ord, the killing occurred in an alter cation and there was great provoca tion. Had the governor not interfered Dean would have been hanged on Friday, the 13th, in the year 1913. Quite a hoo doo combination, that. during the pendency of the Payne- Aldrich bill. Then all kinds of interests were heavily represented, while now few interests are represented in force save sugar and, wool. The lobby .for these interests is evidently what the president had in mind when he issued »his statement. I Some few of the Democratic senators believe that the administration tariff program is too drastic. They would not stand in line at all were it not for constant and heavy pressure. But the pressure is there and the senators have to stand by. For instance, while a committee was investigating the “in sidious” lobby, a subcommittee of the senate equalized a schedule by putting flour and meat on the dutiable list. Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, visited the president, secured a few “suggestions,” reported to his colleagues and another method of equalization was adopted. Wheat and cattle were put on the free list, instead. Prevision upward, it appears, is out of the question, in the face of this “insidious” lobby. President Wil son does not propose that the senate shall do to his tariff legislation what it did to the tariff bills of Cleveland and Taft. NATION-WIDE ORDER FOR BOYS IS PLANNED WASHINGTON, June 12.—Through the incorporation of the Boys’ league of ths District of Columbia a number of men prominent in public life hope to establish a nationwide organization for bays which will combine the features or the Boy Scout, the Y.
