FREE TRADE NOT
1 OF WILSON,
HE ASSERTS
We Must Weed Out Industrial
Garden That We tyave Been
Cultivating. He Says.
*
* CLEVELAND, OHIO, Oct. 12. —Gov-
ernor Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic
candidate for president., in a speech
IPI r denied that he was an advocate of
fee trade. He said there can not be
free trade in the United States so long
fi , the established fiscal policy of the
federal government is maintained.
The Federal government,” said the
governor, “has chosen throughout the
srcnerations that have preceded us to
maintain itself chiefly on indirect in
terest of direct taxation. I dare say we
.hall never see a time when it can alter
that policy in any substantial degree,
nn<i there is no Democrat of prudence,
or thoughtfulness, that J have met who
contemplates a program of free trade.”
The candidate devoted most of his
thought to what has now become known
as his pet theme—special privilege.
He spoke with more than usual ear
nestness and eloquence on this subject
an 1 roused his hearers to a high state
of enthusiasm.
In a burst of generous spirit, not al
ways encountered in candidates, Gov
e nor Wilson declared that he yielded
t- no man in his.personal admiration
o f President Taft. This sentiment elic
ited rounds of applause. He also paid
s warm tribute to Senator LaFollette,
tgain applying to him the term of “The
Little Giant of Wisconsin” —the candi
date declaring that he felt a kindred
spirit t< all those in the ranks of pro-
K '-c.-«ive Democracy, regardless of their
labels
In outlining the tariff policy of the
Democratic’ party,* Governor. Wilson
spoke in part as follows:
Weed the Garden of Industry.
What we intend to do. what the
house of rep'esentatlves has been at
tempting to do and will attempt to do
again, and succeed, is to weed this
garden of industry that we have been
cultivating, ft we have been laying at
the roots of our industrial enterprises
this fertilization of protection we have
found that the stimulation was not
equal In respect of all the. growths in
the garden, and that there are some
growths which every man can distin
guish with the naked eye, which have
so overtopped the rest, which have so
thrown the rest Into destroying shadow,
that it is impossible for the industries
of the United States as a whole to pros
per under their desolating obstruction.
In other words, we have found out that
this that professes to be a process- of
protection has become a process of
favoritisnj, and that the favorites of
this policy have flourished at. the ex
pense of all the rest. We are going into
our garden, therefore, and weed it. »We
are going to give the little plants air
and light in which to grow. We are
going to pull up every root that has so
spread itself as to draw' all the nutri
ment of the soil from the other plants
"'■ are going to see to it that fertiliza
lion of intelligence, of invention, of
o'igination. Is once more applied to a
«-t of industries now threatening to be
f'agnant. because threatening to be too
much concent:ated. That is the policy
n f the Democratic party in regard to
the protective tariff, as I understand it.”
About Taft’s Vetoes.
In speaking of the present condition
of the government, Governor Wilson
said that it was neither flesh, fish nor
f°" so far as parly control is con
cerned. He said that in the senate, a
union of Democrats and so-called Re
nans have been sending a Repub
president. measu,ies which are
consistently vetoed, and arguing, from

"ANANIAS CLUB"
Assails Governor for “Willful
Perversion of Truth”—Calls
Him Lorimer Ally.
• 'HK’AGO, Oct. 12. —Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt today assailed Govern
or Charles S. Deneen for “deliberate
and willful perversion of the truth” sh
a recent speech In which the governor
charged the colonel admitted that only
34 of the contests brought before the
Chicago convention were mdde in good
faith. Roosevelt also denounced De
neen as a friend and ally of ex-Senator
Lorimer.
Roosevelt declined to address the
Italian societies engaged in the celebra
tion of Columbus day, in conjunction
with the Knights of Columbus. The
colonel had been invited by Thomas
O'Shaughnessy to take part in the
pageant and make an address. Presi
dent Brown, of the Knights of Colum
bus, objected on the ground that the
Knights took no part in politics and
that O'Shaughnessy was the artist in
charge of the pageant, I -it had no au
thority to invite any one o make an
address. When he learned the facts,
the colonel said he could not consider
the invitation.
Tile attack on Governor Deneen was
made in a statement issued after a
conference with local leaders.
The colonel spoke to a crowd jam
med around the LaSalle hotel when he
arrived from th«- station.
"This fight is the fight of the peo
ple,” he began.
An enormous crowd greeted tlie colo
nel and cheered him as he motored
from the station to the hotel.
Democratic and the Republican parties,
or rather between the Democratic party
and those various other groups and
parts of parties that are masquerading
under all sorts of names, is that they
are willing to accept the discretionary
power of individuals, and we are not
willing t<f accept anything except the
certainty of law. That is the only
thing that has ever afforded salvation
or safety.”
Governor Wilson affirmed that the
problem confronting the American peo
ple was not one of revolution, bus of
readjustment.
“And what I want to suggest.” said
he. “is that the only basis, the only
standard of readjustment, proposed or
suggested by our opponents is the
standard of principle. The expediency
of the situation is merely to see to it
that those who receive speciaFxprivi
leges behave themselves, whereas our
principle is that nobody ought to re
ceive or retain special privileges at all;
that every special privilege shall be de

“If I thought that the American peo

rests upon the fact that each interest Is

After outlining the conditions of mo

candidate said:

RAGTIME WINS
WORLD VICTORY
English Press Concludes That
What Is Scoffed at Is a
Fascinating Craze.
LONDON. Oct. 12.—Ragtime music,
which some hold first flowed brokenly
out from the darkies' cabins in Amer
ica’*- Southern states, seems about to
conquer the world.
This fitusic of the syncopated time
has already captured England.
It has been said truly that “the hard
est thing in the world is to persuade a
Briton to do anything he never did
before and the next hardest is to get
him to quit doing that thing after he
has once started."
The Briton scoffed at ragtime for
years; now it has become a craze, a
passion with- him. Most gravely the
London newspapers are discussing
analyzing this nervous brand of mu
sic.
Heading them, an American brought
up on ragtime has a mental picture of
an old man dissecting a butterfly. ■*
The London Daily Standard prints a
column story, headed “The Psychology
of Ragtime." and gives interviews with
many London musicians on the “fas
cination of this new and wonderful lilt.
America has again turned a trick and
the whole busy world is humming its
new music, which rushed just as fast
as its modern hustling life.”
The Daily Mall in a column article
on its editorial page refers to it as
“the musical ideal of American life,”
and goes on saying: “A craze, a boom
if you will, but nevertheless a force in
our social life. Every tune is like a
live current switched on to the emo
tions and, with all its eccentricities and
novelties, it contains the virtue of vi
tality.” •
The ability to sing and play ragtime
has cost the British army a fine sol
dier—Captain Arthur Wood, son of
Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood and
nephew’ of Mrs. Charles Stewart Par
nell. who was known as Kitty O'Shea'
before she married the famous Irish
leader. The stage has won him from
the army.
Captain Wood, who has a good voice
and plays the piano well, used to revive
his fellow officers by singing to them
around the camp fires of Cole-nso and
Spion Kop during the Boer war.
He accompanies himself on the piano
and is loudly applauded. His salary is
five or six times the amount he drew
as a captain.

masters, a nation who will originate
their own processes of industry and of
life, and we shall never see the day. I
confidently predict, where America
will allow itself to be employed and
patronized and taken care of."
Must Redeem Our Trust.
After declaring that the people of the
old world had realized their dreams of
liberty in America, mentioning particu
larly Hungary and Italy, the governor
concluded with the following eloquent
words:
"We are trustees of the confidence of
mankind in liberty. If we do not re
deem th* trust, if we do not fulfill the
pledge, then we are of ail nations the
most to be pitied, for the more high
you: aim, the more disastrous your fail
ure to reach It; the more glorisus your
program, the more contemptible your
failure.
"Why did we lift this vision of peace
before mankind if we did not know the
terms on which peace could be realized'.'

FITE GRILLED FOR
CONTEMPT; 'DID
NOT MEAN IT
Judge Adams, in Powerful Ar
raignment. Scores Conduct
of Accused Jurist.
Judge Augustus W. Fite, of the
Cherokee circuit, came to the bar of
the court of appeals today, in answer to
a rule for contempt, and entered a con
fession and plea in evidence.
The judge admitted the things the
court charged him with saying, but de
nied that he meant to be contemptuous
in saying them.
During the morning session by far
the most impressive feature of the
healing was Judge Samuel B. Adams’
plea in behaif of the court.
In that plea he unmercifully scored
Fite, charging him with criminal con
tempt against the court, and vehement
ly protesting his attempt to saddle upon
the court of appeals presumption of
sympathy for a negro would-be assail
ant of a white woman.
Judge Adams address was listened
to atnid breathless silence, and evi
dently impressed the crowded court
room tremendously.
Judge Fite listened to it, pale of face
and plainly nervous.
Fite Late in Appearing.
1 he respondent was not in court at the
hour set for a hearing, because of a late
train, and postponement was made for
one hour and thirty minutes in order that
he might be heard in order and in full.
Judge Kite was present in court, but
responded through his attorneys, T. W.
Milner. George W Gober. Sam P. Mau
dox and .1. M. Neel.
The court, of its.own motion, was rep
resented by Judge Andrew .1. Cobh and
SAmuel B. Adams.
Judge Fite's newspaper card, to which
the court of appeals took exception, was
read in full.
1 he court of appeals, in its rule against.
Fite, set up that Fite’s newspaper card
was contemptuous, and calculated to
bring the court into disrepute and to em
barrass it and impede it in the adminis
tration of justice.
A second newspaper article from Judge
Fite was then introduced by the court's
attorneys, and which appeared several
days after the first card appeared, to show
the deliberate intent upon the part of
Fite to be disrespectful and contemptu
ous.
“No Direct Contempt.”
Fite's attorneys, after the introduction
of this evidence, asked time to amend
their answer to meet it, but this was de
nied by the court.
Respondent’s counsel argued that there
was, at least, no direct contempt of the
court, but that it was constructive and
indirect, and not a proper case for the
court’s indignant attention.
It was contended that any man. judge
or private, has a right to criticise courts,
and that Kite's card was well within that
rule -that he had the right as a man to
criticise the court through the newspaper,
and that he did that, and that only, with
in reasonable lines, and tiiat he had dis
claimed any intent to be contemptuous or
disrespectful in his articles.
Adams Grills Fite.
Judge Milner insisted that any citizen
has the right to criticise any court, save
in pending cases, but not to insult it, and
that Fite positively denied in his answer
all intent to insult.
Judge Samuel B. Adams, for the court,
contended that Ihe contempt was not only
well defined but positive or criminal
He said it was not a question of con
tempt against persons, nor was it any
thing in the nature of a civil contempt,
which was a much less serious offense,
and that it was particularly outrageous
in that it raised the race issue and the
sanctity of womanhood to the prejudice
of the court and its malicious embarrass
ment.
Judge Adams said that no more repre
hensible case of criminal contempt could
hardly be imagined. He denied the con
tention of respondent's counsel that, at
the time of Fite's contempt, the McCul
lough case still was pending in courts, and
that the defendant s case was not legally
concluded.
Judge Adams quoted numerous rulings
of other courts to show that Fite's not
only was direct and not constructive, but,
criminal and subject to the court s au
thority. He said that Fite’s assault upon
the court of appeals was particularly vi
cious in view of the fact that he himself
is a judge and charged above all men.
therefore, with maintaining the dignity of
the courts. Judge Adams said that no
man had a .right to call a court corrupt
and dishonest, and then say he "didn’t
mean it" and that that was all Fite did.
Emphasizes Contempt.
He particularly emphasized the con
tempt of Fite's attempt to raise a pre
sumption of sympathj upon the part of
the court for a negio assailant of a white
woman, and said that was the most in
s„,ir)g !in ' l contemptuous utterance of
all 1-ite said.
Judge Adams' address was delivered
with extreme dignity and listened to iv
breathless silence by an evidently pro
foundly Impressed audience
At the conclusion of Judge Adams' ad
dress. the court adjourned until 3 o'cloel
this afternoon.
Retracts “Pitiful.”
Judge Fite, in his reply, said that he
intended no injustice in not having the
jurx polled, but wanted to expedite mat
ters to appease mob passions tmong
other things, he said:
"It is probable that this honorable
court did not recognize, as did your re
spondent, the necessity for prompt ami
immediate action upon the rendition of
the verdict, or the existence of such ne
cessity as a reason why this respondent
overlooked the right in defendant of hav
ing the jury in that case polled If he so
desired. It will be recalled that this de
cision was quoted at length in the dallt
papers of the state, with various criti
cisms of the same, not all of which were
calculated to engender in the public mind
that respect for your respondent as a
court, so essential to everv trial court
who directly seeks to administer justice
to the litigants in his circuit.
"In the decision rendered bv this hon

charge and the refusal of the couri to

LONDON, Oct. 12. —It is now pretty
definitely arranged that the Prince of

grandfather, King Edward, did when he,
too, was Prince of Wales,
Should the young prince set foot on
American soil he will be the guest of

The prince went to Paris as the guest
of Marquis De Breuteulle, whose wife
was a Miss Garner, of New York.
Mrs. Whitelaw Reid will be his host
ess in New York.
In Ottawa he will be under the ma
tronly eye of his grand-aunt, the Duch

It wias arranged within the last few
days that the prince will visit Canada
during 1914. On condition that he goes
there, the Duke of Connaught is ready
to remain longer as governor general.
Accompanying the prince will be his
brolhet . Prime Albert, not yet 17 years
of age.
It was Queen Alexandra, always so
gracious and friendly to Americans, who
suggested that the heir to the throne go
to New York. Or, as the queen mother
expressed -it. laughingly: “It would be
discourteous for Dave to call next door
and not to drop in on New York."
With all his high sounding titles, the
Prince of Wales is “Dave" in tlie inti
macy of his family.
Queen Alexandra thinks he should
have a free foot; she strongly disap

MEMPHIS. TENN., Oct. 12 —Thieves

Falls on Bellevue boulevard and stole
$12,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry,
court has excited much comment in so
ciety. The Earl of Antrem’s brother,
long principal secretary to the Earl of
Salisbury. Sir Schomberg, is in the
prime of life and ambitious. But King
George and Queen Mary will have no
one near them or even serving them in
directly in the government whose moral
character has been impugned.
Sir Schomberg lias been cited as co
respondent by Major Harrison in his
pending divorce suit. Mrs. Harrison, a
pretty little woman, is well known in
society; her father, Henry^Davies, has a
villa at Naples, where many Americans
have enjoyed his hospitality. Major
Harrison, w ho was devoted to his wife,
is in the depths of grief and shame.
Tlie fact that their majesties should
so punish a government official is caus
ing agitation. Rabid Tories are scruti
nizing' the private life of Lloyd George,
chancellor of the exchequer, and other
men they hate, in the hope that they
may be compelled to resign office.
