TILLMAN (N TEE ISSUES. Ihinks it Important to Combat Fei eral Usurpation-State Rights are Sacred-Corporations Must be Curbed With out Federal Inter ference. Houston Post. New York, September 23.-A di patch published in the Americs from San Francisco says: Senati Benjamin R. Tillman, after visitir thirty states since the adjournmei of Congress and meeting thousan< of people, gives his observations the vital questions of the hour at the issues that will predominate the coming campaign. He does not discuss candidates, n< politicians, because, he says, he doi -not know anything about what thE :are doing in the way of political con 1inations and tickets. He says: "The one significant transactic or fact that has come to the froi dinee the adjournment of congre flast 3arch is the apparent clash tithretened clash between state an mafional authority in the effort 1 contxdl corporations and railroads. 'Saeeretary Root; who has been coi da*d the brain of the Administr. tion, (and to a large degree its mouti -piece.) whose intellectual grasp < things is recognized by people wl know him, declared in substance i 1is New Lork speech that the pe< ple of this country would see to that the reforms and protection di -manded in - dealing with trusts an railroads are granted, that the N tional Government would be calle -upon to act if the state did not moi to correet the evils. "Immediately there came stron protests from high Republican .sou: <es against the tendency to centralih power in the Administration. Justic Uarlan, of the supreme court, utte ed a vigorous protest, and more r cently Samuel McCall, of Massachi setts, one of the big Republicans < the House of Representatives, pr< mounced against the Root doctrine. Took Root at his Word. "But the striking fact that follov ed the statement by Root was thi the legislatures in the middle wel and some of the Southern states se about doing just what Root said the aunust do to preserve their own powei :and authority intact. -"Oehio, Indiana, Missouri, Nebra: Tka, New York, Pennsylvania, Nort Varolina and Alabama passed 2-er Tare~bills and took other-prompt as ~tion ~in the direction of regulatin echarges for freight and passenge ttransportation. Governor Hugha wtoyei the New York bill. The Pent tsylvaniia Railroad, which owns Pent sylvania, set ah.ut annulling the i gent fare bill in that state. iCorpoi sations of other states feel grateful. "In North- Carolina and Alabame Tow::ver, United States Circuit Judg Pritchard and District Judge Jone issued sweeping injunctions restrair ing the state officials from enforcin the laws. "The situation in Alabama is nc as inteersting as in North Carolins -Judge Pritchard went further in usum pation of power than th:e Rooseve] administration seemed willing to fo] low him. This Judge undertook, b .decree, to 'annual a statute of Nort ~Carolina by reqiring the railroad -to attach a coupon to every ticket re -presenting the difference between th old and the new rate and which th passenger was to hold tifl litigatio dJetermined whether the law was valii -when it would be redeemed if th .courts sustained it. "The constitutionality of the la' -was not attacked. It could not be ai facked except upon the plea of cot fscation. Southern was Brought Under. "Governor Glenn caused the arres -of railroad officials, including Presii ~ent Finley, of the Southern, an .Judge Pritchard's interference sE -them free. But when Finley was al -rested and the Governor disregarde *he Federal court, the Southern rail w-ay decided to obey the law and lit gate afterward. -"While the matter was in the pul Xie mind, the plutocratic press teen 28 with editorials and cartoons, a intenided to direct the attention of th people to the ghost of state right which we were told was shot to deat .in 1861 to 1865. "The country was led to suppos that North Carolina [and Govern< SGlenn were attempting a revival < the old antebellum doctrine. I irath, these organs of Morgan, Harr mnan, Rockefeller et al have attemp -ed to mislead the people and bolste up the Root idea of national autho: ity upon absolutely false grounds. "When Judges Pritchard at Jones stand up and proclaim in thui -sen toe; 'We are the Nation: v . v Il- nIt dIe tr*,'y th pr0operQWIty Of thle rail1 roads,' they wave thleir arms franti eally and the ghost of Calhoun is con jured from under the bed, they bid it begone. "People who have eyes and who have examined this affair closely, saw looking over these Judges' shoulders s the grinning faces of the railroad magnates and the Judges are mere >r mannikins, obeying the orders of z their former employers. it People Won't be Bamboozled. "The American people never will d be bamboozled and deceived by fake , appeals to the national spirit, invok ed to protect the Harriman-Morgan Rockefeller gang in their efforts to compel producers of the country to pay tribute to them and dividends on y watered stock. "The usurpations of power by the Federal judiciary and the absolute subserviency by many Federal Jud Lt ges in the interests of the trusts and the necessity for congressional action in clearly defining and laying down the jurisdiction and power of Feder o al courts will attract more attention than the great question of regulating trusts themselves. "Judicial usurpation and trust abuses are correlative questions. The two are interlocked and one hinges o on the other, as President Roosevelt reeently recognized when he made the issue in 1904 and 1905 that the railroad rate fixed by the commis sion should go into effect immediate d ly and stick there till reversed by the d courts. e "Of course, we all know he surren dered on this important point, and that Aldrich came off victorious. This g bit of legislative history turns the I light on the striking fact that in e North Carolina the attempt was made e to do just what the president declar ed all railroads ought to be compell ed to do. But the Federal court but ted in and said they could not do it, but they did. Root Idea a Vital Issue. "The Root idea of centralization will be the vital issue in the next t Persidential campaign. The Root idea t will be pressed by the Republicans t and Roosevelt; the Democrats will, y nat-u:rally and inevitably, take the - other side. ''This nation must speak through -congress and define the powers of Fed h eral courts that are clutching states t and everything else by the throats. ' The real and proper method of ggovernment control and regulation of r trusts i.s the other important question s which must be determined in the next - campaign. '' Whenever our people give up lo cal self-government we shall lose the~ substance of liberty and nothing but the shadow will be left. When states 'are hampered by Federal interfer eence, when the people are harassed sand plundered by corporations, we~ must look ahead and steer away from disaster.'' I.Autumn Eat Lore. Philadelphia Record. t Yesterday marked the exit of the straw hat of 1907, an article of ap y parel which, in view of the weather, Shas had less opportunity to justify its existence this year than usual. -Wearers of the unfortunate and dis e carded article are henceforth to be e the victims of a public jest, which is a perhaps as unreasonable as it is l,j sometimes savage. There is no gen e unine ground for casting aside the straw hat, even in winter, if one's y comfort does not require a warmer -headeovering. In some countries, no .- tably in England, the straw hat may safely be worn all the year through. True, the climate of Great Britain ,t is less several than that of this coun -try, which makes a great difference. d But there are men, even in this coun t try, to whom a straw hat would be -agreeable in the coldest weather. d They dare not wear it, however, all -because of the so-called ''guns'' and -"''allings in'' to which the straw hat is supposed to be subject on Septem - ber 15. From now out the stiff-rim t- med, close-fitting, baldness-provok 1 iing felt will rule the land. It may e be in order to mention that many 3, women wear straw hats all the year h round in this as well as other coun tries. But men, for some reason, e are denied the privilege. f Love's Game. n Though love, they say, will find the t-way, t- The scheming lover's game. r Is just to have her papa pay - - The same. d Doubtless prudent Georgians will i- not negleet to stock up well on per GENTRY BROS'.

Gentry Brothers, whose name is known the world over in connection with their Famous Shows, more than t made good their promise this morning that the Grand street parade would I completedly eelispse any similar page ant seen here before. Thousands of . people of all age, viewed the parade along the line of M'arch, and were de lighted and amazed at the gorgeous and glittering free spectacle which must have cost the enterprising man- 4 agement many thousands of dollars. 1 The gilded band wagons with their I two magnificent military bands, the gold chariots, the magnificent cages filled with comical monkeys and oth- I er animals, the beautiful and eute t little Shetland ponies, over two hun dred in number, with the gorgeous ( trappings, the herd of monster per forming elephants caparisoned in the gorgeous barbaric splendor of crim son and gold, the beautiful trained dogs marching and riding along and plainly appreciating the applause which greeted them, the funny clown baby elephant, the comical ' monkey jockeys mounted on dogs and ponies, together with a long ai-ray of ~ talented and magnificently costumed performers, all combined to present the grandest parade ever seen here, and one which reached nearly a mile in length. When so much gran deur is displayed in .a free spetiige, it is safe to anticipate a grander and greater show at the performances which take plaee this afternoon and tonight at 2 and 8 p. m., and if the pinions of the press count for any thing in the great metropolitian eit ies, the Gentry Brothers have this year exceeded the lavish produetions ~ f former years which made them deservedly famous as public enter tainers and instructors-Exchange.
