TILLMAN ON THE ISSUES.
Thinks it Important to Combat Federal
Usurpation?Stato Rights
aro Sacred?Corporations
Must bo Curbed Without
Federal Interference.
Houston Post.
Now York, September 23.?A dispatch
published in the American
?) oni San I4 raticisco says ; Senator
Benjamin R. Tillman, after visiting
vtliiriy states since the adjournment
of Congress and meeting thousands
of people, gives his observations on
the vital <iuestions of the hour and
tiie issues thai will predominate in
the coming campaign.
He does not discuss candidates, nor
politicians, because, lie says, he does
not know anything about what they
are doing in (he way of political combinations
and tickets, lie says:
I he one significant transaction
or fad that has come to the front
:sinee iin* adjournment of congress
i aM March is the apparent clash or
tihivitteried clash between state and
national authority in the effort, to
r*.oiu?ul 'corporalions and railroads.
"Secretary Hoot, who has been conwide.wd
(be brain ot the Administration,
land lo a large degree its mouthpiece.1
whose intellectual grasp of
tilings is reco-j ni/.ed by people who
know 11i11', derlared in substance in
bis New l.ork speech I hat the people
ul 1 his country would see to it
that I he rclonns and protection demanded
in dealing with trusts and
railroads are granted, thai I he National
(Joverninent would be called
upon to act il the state did not move
"to correct the evils.
"Immediately there came strong
protests I nun high Republican sources
against the tendency to centralize
power in (lie Administration. Justice
Harlan, ol the supreme court, uttered
a vigorous protest, and more recently
Samuel Met 'all, of Massachusetts,
one ol the big Republicans of
the House of Representatives, pronounced
again-! the Root doctrine.
Took Root at his Word.
But the striking fact Unit followed
the statement by Root was that
she legislatures in the middle west
sind some of (he Soul hern stales set
about doing just what Root said they
must do lo preserve their own powers
:Aiid authority intact.
""Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska,
New York, Pennsylvania, North
fffjiroTinn and Alabama passed 2-eeiit
fare bills and took other,prompt action
in the direction ol regulating
<eha)ges for freight and passenger
' transportation. (iovernor Hughes
wetocd the New ork bill. The Pcnu'1\auia
Railroad, which owns Peuu*syIv,uriia,
scl about annulling I he 2vein
fare bill in thai slate. tCorpor.ntions
of other stales feel grateful.
"In North ('arolina and Alabama,
1owj?ver, United Stales Circuil .Judge
iVitchard and District Judge .Tones
Issued sweeping injunctions restraining
the state ollicials from enforcing
the laws.
I he situation mi Alabama is not
as inteersiing as in North Carolina,
tliidve l'i itciiar.l went further in usurpation
ul power than the Roosevelt i
administration seemed willing to follow
him. This Judge undertook, by
decree, to annual a statute of North
Carolina by requiring the railroads
to attach a coupon to every ticket representing
the difference between the
old and the new rate and which the
passenger was to hold till litigation'
^determined whether the law was valid,!
when it would be redeemed if the'
courts sustained il,
"The constitutionality of the law
was not attacked. It could not be attacked
except upon the plea of eonliscal
ion.
Southern was Brought Under,
"(iovernor (ileun caused the arrest
railroad ollicials. including Presid cnt
Pin ley. of the Southern, and
Judge l'ritchard's interference set
them tree. Hut when Finley was arrested
and the (Iovernor disregarded
the I'ederal court, the Southern railway
decided lo obey I lie law and litigate
afterward.
""While tlie mailer was in the pubVic
mind, the plutocratic press teeni'Oti
with editorials and cartoons, all
intended to direct Ihe attention of the
people to the ghost of slate rights,
which we were told was shot to death
in IStil to 18(55.
"The country was led to suppose
that North Carolina [and (Iovernor
<Glenn were attempting a revival of
the old antebellum doctrine. In
truth, these organs of Morgan, ITarriman,
Rockefeller et al have attempted
to mislead the people and bolster
up the Root idea of national authority
upon absolutely false grounds.
"When Judges Pritchard and
Jones stand up and proclaim in thundering
tones, 'We arc the Nationj wo
1
I J J
j.iave tiic power and authority to proled
voted right* ;i)i<I the stsilt* shall
not destroy the property ol' tin: railroads,'
tliey wave their arms frantieally
and the ghost of Calhoun is conjured
from under the bed, they bid I
it begone.
"People who have eyes and who
have examined this affair closely, saw
looking over these Judges' shoulders
the grinning laces of the railroad
magnates and the Judges are mere
mannikins, obeying the orders of
their former employers.
People Won't be Bamboozled.
"The American people never will
be bamboozled and deceived by fake
appeals to the national spirit, invoked
to protect ihe Harriman-MorganIfockel'eller
gang in their efforts to
compel producers of the country to
pay tribute to them and dividends on
watered stock.
" I he usurpations of power by the
I'Vderal judiciary and tiie absolute '
subserviency by many federal Judges
in the interests of the trusts and
the necessity for congressional action '
in clearly defining and laying down
the jurisdiction and power of Federal
courts will attract more attention
than the great <|ucstion of regulating ^
trusts themselves. 1
" Judicial usurpation and trust 1
abuses are correlative questions. The
two are interlocked and one hinges (
oil the other, as President lioosevelt
reecnily reco<j'iii/.eil when he made '
the i-sue in MM) I :ind that the '
railroad rale fixed by the commis- '
sioii should go into effect immediate- '
ly and slick there till reversed by the 1
courts. '
"Of course, we all know he surron- j
de.red on this important point, and
that Aldrich came off victorious. This ?
bit of legislative history turns the
light on the striking fact that in i
[North Carolina the attempt was made
to do just what the president declar- .
ed all railroads ought to be compel!
ed lo do. lint trie Federal court but- (
ted in and said they could not do it,
j but I hey did.
Root Idea a Vital Issue. .
"The Wool idea of centralization \
will be the vital issue in the next c
Persidential campaign. The Hoot idea i:
will be pressed by the Republicans j
a nd lioosevelt; the Democrats will, t
naturally and inevitably, take the f
other side. t
"This nation must speak through 1
congress and define the powers of Fed- 11
era I courts that are clutching states <
and everything else by the throats. i
"The real and proper method of ^
government control and regulation of x
trusts is the other important question
which must be determined in the next "
campaign.
"Whenever our people give up local
self-government we shall lose th?? *
substance of liberty and nothing but
the shadow will he left. When slates *
are hampered by Federal interference,
when the people are harassed
and plundered by corporations, we
must look ahead and steer away from "
disaster." v t
Autumn Hat Lore.
I Mr. hotel ph in Keeord.
\ estcrday marked the exit of the
straw hat of 1!)07, an article of apparel
which, in view of the weather,
has had less opportunity to justify
ils existence this year than usual.
Wearers of the unfortunate and discarded
article are henceforth to he.
the victims of a public jesl, which is
perhaps as unreasonable as it is
sometimes savage. There is no gen- v
nnine ground for casting aside the g
straw hat, even in winter, if one's
comfort does not require a warmer ^
iieadcovering. In some countries, no- ^
I ably in Fngland, the straw hat may
salely he worn all the year through. ^
True, the climate of (Ireat Britain *
is los several than that of litis conn- 11
try, which makes a great difference. (1
Put there are men, even in this conn- ^
try, to whom a straw hat would he ?
agreeable in the coldest weather. ?,
I hey dare not wear it. however, all
because of the so-called "guns" and '
"callings in" lo which the straw hat 1
is supposed to be subject on Seplem- '
ber 1.*). From now out the stiff-rim- C
tned, close-fit ting, haldness-provok- [
ing felt will rule the land. 11 may ^
be in order to mention that many
women wear straw hats all the year *
round in this as well as other conn- 1
tries. Put men, for some reason, ^
are denied I he privilege. f

there's scarcely a faculty or an emotion

will be, by far, the best tonic you
could use?for instance "I'm Crazy 'Rout

"split your sides," or if you prefer Grand

or the late Tatnagno. Anything 011 the
