Before Noon.
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 17.—Called
two hours earlier than the usual time
for convening, jurors in the trial of
Clarence S. Darrow, charged with jury
bribing, were ready today for the final
chapter in the ease. Judge George
Hutton summoned court to open at R

begin reading the instructions he has
prepared in the ease. By 10 o'clock It
was expected the reading would be
completed and the fate of the famous
labor attorney be In the hands of the
juroors.
The indictment on which the ease
rests charged that Darrow bribed a
juror in the trial of James B. McNama
ra. and charges further that he at
tempted to influence a man drawn for
jury service in that ease. It was on the
legal phases involved in these charges
ami on special points in the mass of
evidence that lias been heard that the
judge's instructions were bas’d.
Although attorneys on lg>th sides ex
pressed the hope that a verdict would
be reached today, arrangements have
been made for a long drawn out argu
ment among the jurors. Cots have been
provided for their rooms above the
court room and arrangements have
been made to furnish them with meals.
Should Darrow be convicted of jury
bribing, he faces a prison term of one
to ten years-, and if convicted of at
tempting to influence a man draw n for
ini'- service a fine not exceeding s.’>ooo

GULF STEAMSHIP LINE
PLANNED BY COLUMBUS
COLUMBUS. GA.. Aug. 17.—A move
ment has been launched by the Co
lumbus Board of Trade providing fo>-
the owning and operating of a steam
ship line on the Gulf of Mexico when
the Panama and St. Andrews bay ca
nals are opened b. traffic.
There are five boats on the Chatta
hoochee river, and it is the contention
of the trade organization that if a
steamship line is established on the gulf
it will enable Columbus to get cheaper
transportatioi facilities, because het
own steamers could bring goods to the
St. Andrews bay ports and the freight
could be loaded on river steamers at
that point and brought to the city at a
very low rate.

BOSTON. MASS.. Aug. 17.—Dr. Hu

to the Ninth Intern itional Congress of
the Ear Specialists at Harvard uni

help to the ear.
"Too many old-fashioned remedies
like hot onions," says Dr. Hamilton,
"have made people deaf. Trust science
to give her best. Stick nothing in youi
ear except your elbow. The telephone
vibrations help father than hinder the
ear.”

TAFT PROGRESSIVE IN

SAYS CHAS, D, HILLES

Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
NEW YORK. Aug. 17.—The question

an d referendum
and the recall? It
i lieeanse ITrsi
<h nt Taft is :•
genuine progres
sive that he op
poses these things
and m a i n t a i n
that so far as bu
rn a n experience
has disclosed, th.
Republican form
of government is
the most effective
a n<l satisfactory,
the one w hich w ill
come nearest to
securing for ah
men the rights of
lite, liberty am 1
the pursuit of
happiness.
\ i..., rr,.«
A Republican government, a distin
guished from a pure Democracy, I- the
government of thought and delibera
tion That radicalism which, in both
tile Democratic party and tlie Third
Term party.’i: masquerading as pro
gressive is opposed to thought and de
liberation. is antagonistic to efficiency.
In mu modern civilization no man
thinks of being his own carpenter. Ills
own doctm. his own stone mason. liis
own lawyer. Why not'.’ Because lie
has found by experience that he gets
better service when he employs men
who ate expert in those lines to serve
him than he would if lie tried to do
ill thosi things himself. He know
that they liavc both time and opportu
nity to study and to think, and tints
perfect themselv -s in tin peeullai line
of sei vice of which he is in need. He
prefers a specialist to a novice.
Experts in Legislation, Too.
So, too, in the ease of government.
We select na n for our legislatures not
because we believe they have more abil
ity than ourselves. Put because we ex
pect them to give thought and study
to the subjects with which they are to
ded, and we pay them for tlie time
tin.' devote to such thought anti study.
Were we to-devotc th" same time ami
study to the same subjects perhaps we
could do equally well, often we could do
better, but in out coni' ! x civilization
men do not have time to think and con
sider aqd deliberate on all the subjects
which concern their welfare. They
must economize time by employing one
set of men to render one set of serv
ices, and another set of men to render
I another.
Why is President Taft opposed to
like initiative, tin r> lereudutn and the
lee ill? The recall, as applied to the
judiciary, is so laige a subject that 1
prefer to discuss it by myself. But
what I have said applies especially to
the first two named. The real pro
gressive opposes the initiative and tile
referendum because he does not believe
they will make Im progress, because he
is convined they impose on the voter
responsibilities which he is not pre
pared to dlsehargi not because he
lacks the ability, but because he has
not the time.
We have universal male -uffiage in
this country, and al men should be
prepared to vote on t , urn stions which
are submitted to them with Intelli
gence and with knowledge, and after
7
due deliberation This is essential to
the welfare of the nation.
But if all laws are to be submitted
to tin' voter under the referendum sys
tem, it will be impossible for him to
giii- to them, before he votes upon
them, that deliberation and thought
which are essential to intelligent de
cision.
Applies Also to Initiative.
What I have said about the recall ap
pll, st in only slightly less degree to the
initiative. Even now, without the Ini
tiative, the demand for new laws is in
a large part created by the newspa
pers. Your newspaper suggests to you
j a law. and on its face it seems plausi
■ file and desirable. But have you time
I and opportunity to investigate the sub
jeet ? I have seen President Taft de
vote days--yes. ami nights—reading,
thinking, examining the effect of simi
lar statutes, to the consideration of a
single, comparatively simple law. Have
you the time to do that? Certainly I
have not, and i know of thousands who
have not. Nor are the newspapers al
ways a safe guide.
It you will watch the deliberations of
any legislative body you will observe
men of absolute honesty, long experi
ence and wide knowledge of their pro
fession making serious blunders, enact
ing laws which serve a desired purpose
only to find that the statute they have
d. VI- d has failed utterly of its pur
pose Or, again, you will find these
•a ' ■ m< n opposing laws which time
pro' - s would have been most benefl
i :al, and opposing them not because of
in, improper motive, hut because they
,n not perceive the benefits of the
proposed measure.
I’he tact that men choose certain of
their members' to make their laws is no
more a reflection of their own Intelli
gence and good sense and ability than
is the tact that men choose other men
to conduct their lawsuits, heal their
ills, build their houses or construct
their railroads.
As you charge your son tn learn to
do one thing well before he attempts to
do many things, so the voters must
charge themselves with the task of do
ing the one tiling, the selection of com
petent representatives, well before they
undertake great variety of task-, most
of lii, m fa- more difficult than the se
■ lei tion of i single honest and able rep
resentative.
These are the reasons that President
Tift ■ opposed to the initiative and
tin- r. fe ■ ndum. He opposes them he
lause i;, j do not constitute progress,
Im in. i, ad are speejous makeshifts.
