COITOniAL SHAFT8.
The Independent newspaper* have

editors Into prison for much lees, and
It has been well said that -If Teddy

remark of a New York paper. In con
nection with r*tf White House labor

never Intended to ask all ths promi
nent labor leaders—only six or eight
—and, above all, the public will please
take notice that this Is In no sense

private one- The same newspaper
adds: -The truth la that the Presi
dent Is angry because John Mitchell,
James Duncan and Daniel J. Keefe
have declined to dine at the Wilt#
House by royal command. Mr. Roose
velt perceives that the whole dinner

percent greater than In 1107, and 2.4
per cent greater than the average of
the preceding five year*. In quality,
corn, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat,
flaxseed and hay are above the aver
age of last year.
HELP FROM THE ENEMY?
Announcement that Andrew
Carnegie will publish his views
on the tariff question and volun
teer his services as a champion of
tariff for revenue only. Instead of
a tariff for protection, has been
received with interest by revis
ionists. Mr. Carnegla has pre
pared for a magazine a histori
cal review of the subject, and in
cludes an expression of bis per
sonal views.—New York Dispatch
to the Philadelphia Press.
Although this will doubtless eauso
incredulous ejnlles, it may be perti
nently remarked that, after making
many millions by charging for steel
rails In this country a price nearly
double what he charges for the same
“°7j«rUel. «port«l to Eurot*-whlch
high tariff and monopoly permitted
at Mr. Gompers* control of the Fed
eration of Labor.” And It Is perfectly
well understood that the big stick Is
aimed at Gompers because he had the
brases assurance to declare publicly
his belief that the interests of labor
would be safer under Rryan as Pres
ident than under Toft. For this he
will never be forgiven by the august
President of the Republican party.
NOT “MERE PREJUDICE."
"Prejudice, mere prejudice, with
out the excuse of a valid reason.”
walla the New York Evening Post, In
discussing the Supreme Court’s decis
ion upholding the Kentucky law for
bidding the eo-eduoaUon of whites
end blacks at Berea College. In the
oourse of a long editorial, the Even
ing Pest says:
Ths Auprecne Court’s opinion
that the Kentucky law forbid

MOST PRONOUNCED RECOVERY IS
FOUND IN BUILDINO AND AL
LIED TRADES.
NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-One of the most
gratifying features of the day Is the un
mistakable revival of business in many
directions. Of course. Improvement Is
much more pronounced in some quarters
than others, but the recovery Is most cer
tainly genuine and not of tbe Imaginary
sort talked about by last summer's "pros
perity" boomers. There Is no extraordi
nary prosperity nor boom In sight and
none is desired; for the country has had
enough of such and their disastrous re
actions, and simply requires a gradual
and steady resumption of normal actlvl*
ties, such as It is now experiencing. All
that the.country needs for the present Is
to be let alone for a period In order to
recover Its nerve and wonted activities.
Where Recovery Is Found.
If we look for the quarters In which re
covery Is most pronounced we find It in
the building and engineering trades.
This was to be Arpcctcd. A great many
Important enterprises wsre in course of
construction or about to be Initiated
when tho panic came. Trmse works,
moreover, wero often very urgent In their
character owing to the npitl growth of
our great cities. Congestion of traffic
end the great demand for m w homes and
office buildings made many of these en
terprises Imperative. The groat pressure

chief shackles upon Industry have been
loosened.

growing demand for steel and nil other
building materials. The signs of recov
ery extend also to other lines of butlnets.

these disappointment* more seriously
than was Justified. The truth Is that
stocks had reached a level that made
profit-taking exceedingly tempting and
the Harrtman meetings slmplv marked
the turn which had been much delayed.
Stocks are now being quietly distributed,
and care should be exercised In all pur
chases. A very hopeful tons, however,
pervades tho entire market, whleh Is en
tirely Justified by Improvement fn busi
ness conditions and by the better railroad
outlook. Railroad traffic Is steadily re
covering. and gross earnings for October
thps far reported show a decrease of leas
than 4 per cent compared with « per cent
In September and IS to 22 per cent In
the previous months of the current year.
November returns will be much more
satisfactory as to gross earnings, for traf
fic will shortly return to the normal in

When lessened expenses "and better
rates are taken Into consldsratioi

Many practical difficulties presented

where throughout the country, ha«i

trust companies, had pac-sed from hand

were held in large and small amounts,
and the effort to g!v*» the trust certifi
cate holders a legal Interest in the
stock of the various companies that hod
formerly been in the trust waa one cf
great difficulty.
I had. I remember a long conversa

In connection with thla business. Cop
ies of the pleadings In th* contempt
^ase were shown you and the sub
stance of the evidence already taken
narrated, together with the action of
the certificate holders taken at the
meeting and the course of proceeding
of th* trustees carrying out tho pur
pose of th* resolution to dissolve the
trust, and a little later certified copies
of the voluminous pleadings In the four
cases above named, and the Interroga
tories annexed thereto, directed to the
officers of the four companies above
named, were furnished and the history
of each one of thoso companies and
the relation of each to the Standard
Oil Company of Ohio and of the oth^r
organizations alleged to be member* of
the trust (aome twenty In number) be
came the subject of investigation at
once by you. The importance of the
litigation could hardly, from the stand
point of the Standard, be overrated.
Company Couldn’t Afford to Defy Law.
The company In Ohio which had been
ordered to withdraw from the truat
agreement could not afford to permit
itself to be put. nor could the gentle
men who managed It permit themselves
to be put In the attitude of defying
the law. A heavy fine might have been
imposed, a receiver might have been
appointed, and the vast buslnese of the
organization Irreparably Injured.
Th* threo quo warranto case* then
pending and the fourth one threatened,
as already stated, and later begun,
called for most drastic action upon the
par? of the supreme court It Ita pudg-
ment should be adverse.
It was asked In each of the four quo
warranto cases and such was a proper
prayer that each of the four defendants
be adjudged to have forfeited and sur
rendered their corporate rights and fran
chises. that they be dissolved and that
the court appoint trustees to wind up
their affairs and distribute their property.
Why Foraker Wss 8ought.
It waa upon a realisation of these se
rious and disastrous consequences, well
knowing your ability as sn attorney and
the respect the lawyers and courts had
for you throughout the state that
sought your service. You entered at or
actively* upon th# employment, making
your own Investigations here In Ohio urn
In New York, holding frequent consulta
tions with myself and other counsel for
the company. In Columbus, Cincinnati.
New York and Washington. Your Judg
ment was sought not only as to what
had been dono ny the Standard OH Com-'
nany of Ohio In Its effort to withdraw
from the trust, but ntou ns to what form
of future organisation of the great Inter
ests of this company and of tho constitu
ent companies should be token that they
might not be open to any further attack.
For more than a year testimpny was
