GRAHAM, N. C„ Nov. », 1911.
All Came Back.
That the three young men, J. E.
Terrell, Dock Bass and Cicero
Stephens, who were turned loose
at September Term of the Superior
Court of this county, took a good
many people by surprise. Terrell
plead guilty of forgery and came
back from Winston. He has been
at work and brought splendid tes
timonials of his good behavior.
Stephens resisted an officer and
the head of his school certified
handsomely as to bfc* conduct. He
has been in school every day.
Bass could have done better.
He has attended school a
part of the time. He had
so much of the mischievous
in him that it will take some time
to regenerate him. Judge Allen
naturally feels good over the ex
periment, and all good people
should help to hold these young
men up, that they may become
good and worthy citizens.
Tuesday's elections in MasaachuMts
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva
nia, Kentucky, Rhode Island, and
several other states. Massachusetts
and Kentucky went Democratic,
while the Republicans won in the
other States. That New Jersey
went against Gov. Woodrow Wilson
has caused the belief that his chances
for the Democratic nomination for
President are lessened. ™t is certain
they were not augmented. In another
issue wo will publish some of the al
leged cautes for the turn matters

The Beard adjourned to meet on
MORGAN ORGANIZED STEEL
TRUST.
Will the Government Prosecute Him
w or Not?
Washington, NOT. C.—Coinci
dent with the belief that exists in
many quarters that the Wicker
sham suit against the steel trust
is not sincere, and that it will
never be prosecuted in a way that
will worry the trust, is. the grow
ing conviction that the sait was
started to avert attention from
the fact that as yet no individual
trust magnate has been prosecuted
by Wickersham. The query:
"Why not put one guilty trust
magnate in jail?" became so in
sistent that Attorney General
Wickersham grew thoroughly
frightened about the record of in
activity he has made, and lor that
reason, say those who are familiar
with the condition of semi-panic
that now prevails in administra
tion circles, he started the steel
suit as a stop to those who are Int
iinpatiently demanding action
against the guilty magnates.
The anti-trust law is » criminal
statute, and provides that those
who violate it may be sentr> jail,
just as a common citizen maybe
sent to jail for carrying off his
neighbor's coaL Yet there has
been no mention, by Mr. Wicker
sham, ot prosecution for J»,P.
Morgan, organizer of the trust,
and its guiding spirit. It was in
his house that the meeting was
held at which it was decided to
take over .the Tennessee Coal and
Irou Company, which action, so it
has been given out at Mr. Wicker
sham's office, constitutes the back
bone of the government's case. Jt
WRH Mr. Morgan who seut Judge
Gary aud Mr. Frick to Washing
ton to obtain President Roose
velt's cousent to the merger.
Therefore, if the government
has a ease against the trust, as
Mr, Wickeraiiam's suit would in
dicate, why hasn't it a cane also
against Mr. Morgan? The gov
ernment has indicated individuals
in connection with the prosecu
tion of the Turpentine Trust, and
the indicted Beef barons are
ftwuitirig trial 011 indictments
which the government obtained
against them. These prosecutions
were exactly similar to the new
jone against the steel trust, and
yet no mentiou has been made of
making Morgan explain, person
ally. No hint has come from the
Attorney General's office of any
intention to send the master of
Wnll street to jail.
The Sherman law provides a
jail sentence for conspiracy to w
ptraiu trade, if it shall be proven
against any individual that he in
spired or helped to inspire such
restraint. The government suit
ngaiust the steel corporation al
leges conspiracy, but the allega
tions Is not made against Mr.
Morgan. The organization is
aimed at; not the individual.
Democratic members of Con
gress have frequently pointed out
in speeches, both In and out of
Cony roes, that the people will
never be convinced that the party
in power Is sincere in ita purpose
to prosecute the trusts until a
movo is made to prosecute the
men who control the trusts.
They have made It plain that to
long as the individuals escape,
the peoole will be convinced that
either the law is Inadequate or
under the present arrangements
there is one law for the rich and
another law for the poor.
In his Western tour, according
to Secretary Hlllls, President
Taft spoke to 5,000,000 people.
Democratic leaders have aince
pointed out that he didn't accom
pllsh as much in all his speech
making and explaining and prom
ising as he would have done had
be ina true ted his Attorney-Gener
al to st*rt action against one
single trust magnate.

Federal Control of All Railroad*
Foreshadowed.
Washington IHipttch. Oct. M.
Complete control of all the rail
roads .of the country by the Inter-
State Commerce Commission and
virtual i limination of State com
missions from such control, is
foreshadowed in an opinion hand
ed down today by the Supreme
Court of the United States. The
court held that hereafter all loco
motives, cars or other equipment
used on any railroad whioh is a
highway of inter-State commerce,
must comply with the Federal
safety appliance act.
In ita opinion the court held
that compliance with Federal law
is compulsory on all railroads
Which are engaged in the trans
portation of persons or freight
from one State to another. Elab
orating this, however, it held that
the cars or equipment of such
roads, even if engaged in such
transportation within the confines
of a State, must be considered as
part and parcel of the road and,
therefore, completely under the
jurisdiction of the Federal com
mission.
Members of the Inter-State Com
merce Commission, who have been
embarrassed on numerous occa
sions by clashes of authority with
State commissions, are jubilant
st tho ruling of the Supreme
Court which wss unanimous. Re
ferring to the court's opinion,
Commissioner Franklin K. Lane
declared "it meant, eventually,
that thero is to be no dual oontral
of inter-State carriers."
