Independence Day is Fittingly

SOME NOTABLE UTTERANCES
New York Governor and Princeton
President Address Thousands at
Joint Independence Day Celebra

Lineal Descendants of Singers of
Declaration of Independence.
Norfolk, Va., Special. Governor
Hughes, of New York, and Woodrow
Wilson, president of Princeton Uni
versity, Avere the orators of the day
at the joint Independence Day cele
bration and first annual reunion of
the lineal descendants of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence
July 4th. The reunion was held un
der the auspices of the Thomas Jef
ferson Memorial Associaition, of
which former Secretary of the Navy
Hilary A. Herbert, is the acting pres
ident. "One really responsible man in
jail," he said, "one real originator
of the schemes and transactions
which are contrary -to the public in
terst legally lodged in the pen, would
be worth more than a thousand cor
porations mulcted in fines, if the re
form is to be genuine."
What this country needs, Mr. Wil
son set, forth, is not government own
ership of railroads, etc., but laws
that will attack and punish presi
dents and general managers of rail
roads, for evasions and violations of
the statutes. Stock manulipators he
calls "sheer thefts'' and says they
should be punished as such. Failure
to do so, in his mind, is "like over
looking highway robberies.'
"Every corporation," the educa
tor stated, " is personally directed
either by some one dominant person
or by some group of persons. Some
body in particular is responsible for
ordering or sanctioning every illegal
act committed by its agents or of
ficers; but neither our law of per
sonal damage nor our criminal law
lias sought to seek the responsible
persons out and hold them individu
ally accountable for the - acts com
plained of. We have never attempt
ed such statutes. We indict corpora
tions themselves, find them guilty of
illegal practices, fine them and leave
the individuals who devise and exe
cute the illegal acts free to discover
new evasions."
Such acts could be passed and
should be if we are to better our in
dustrial conditions, Mi. Wilson be
lieves. Unless something of this na
ture is done and done quicly, he fears
Socialism will result.
It is just as absurd, he said, to in
dict or dissolve corporations for of
fenses against the public as it would
be to arrest and confiscate automo
biles because their owners killed pe
destrians. Former Governor Roberts, of Con
necticut, vice president of the Jeff
erson Memorial Association from

list of vice presidents representing

the respective Governors of these

Montclair, N. J., Special. Former
Governor W. J. North en, of Georgia,
was the orator at the Fourth of July
celebration here, speaking to a large
audience on the relation of the races
in the South,
(It is a great mistake," he said,
"to believe that there is no kind of
harmony between the better elements
ef the races in Georgia and at the
South, Quite the contrary is true,"
"The good class of negroes is in

Its religion is not a sham. Its educa
tion has not spoiled it and its devo
tion to duty is not inspired by the
'loaves and fishes.' Its ideals are good,
"It will be best for all parties if
wholesome and elevating. If all
American negroes were of this class,
there would be no 'negro problem.'
"It will be best for all pities if
the white man, strong and dominant,
will look seriously and sympatheti
cally at the weaker and the depen

he is, intelligently set about aiding
him."
"This is just what we have begun
to do in Georgia upon a plan based
entirely upon our local conditions,
as, in my judgement, all other people
must be allowed to do.

showed symptoms of willingness to
meet the wishes of the Moroccan au
thorities, with the result that Gen
eral Maclean was entrusted with the
task of taking some presents from the
Sultan to Raisuli, in the hope of
finally persuading him to come to
terms. These gifts consisted of hors
es and tents, and to escort them to
his stronghold Raisuli sent 15 of his
banditti to the general to act as a
body-guard. Accompanied by these
men General Maclean journeyed for
wards Rouina, where he Avas to meet
Raisuli. But on arriving there the
