Attorney General Replies to Letter
of Democratic Chairman Jo>
sephus Daniels.
Washitigton, D. C.,Oet. 2.—At
torney-General J^rmaparte today
made public his reply to a letter he
had received from Jo; iphus Daniels,
chairman of the Democratic press
committee, at Chicago, asking for
facts connected witii trust prosecu-
tion.s by the department of justice,
including the presnt standing of
litigation against the trusts.
The reply gives a summary of
the cases prosecuted substantially
as furnished in a report made public
two days ago, a copy of which the
attorney-general forwards to Mr.
Daniels. The attorney-general says
tiiat his department has prosecuted
all cases under the Sherraan anti
trust or interstate commerce laws
that have been brought to its atten
tion from responsible sources, where
the facta disclosed warranted such
action.
The attorney-generaPs letter .says:
“There have been instituted, dur
ing the administration of President
Roosevelt 228 proceeoings, civil
and ci'iminal, under these statutes.
Of these 73 have been concluded
successflilly, 40 have been con
cluded unu(!cessfully aiil 115 are
pending. The various fines im
posed in criminal cases amount, iu
the aggregu,te, to ^1,260,325. Un
der previous Republican adminis-
tratii'-ns there were in.stituted under
thes(^ lawi’ 74 orimina! and civil pro
ceedings of which 13 were conclud
ed .successfully, 6 were concluded
ansuccessfully, and one is yet pend
ing. The amount of fines impo.«ed
in these proceedings was $8,501.
“ITnder previous Democratic ad
ministrations, there were jjistituttd.
under these laws fifty proceedings,
civil aiid (srimiDal, of which four
teen were concluded successfully,
thirty five were concluded uusuc-
ce.ssfully, and ;ne is now pending.
Tile tines impos(xl in these ]>roceed-
ings amoiinted in the aggregate to
|lb,00{). ' I could not inform you
how mawy corporations, in tlie ag-
grcji^ate, have been»defendants in
these cases, w'ithout an iu(|uiry,
which would be attended with con-
sideralbe delay. The ntmiber is
undoubU'dly quits large, since in
most of the proceedings ther-'. have
been numerous defendants of this
character, i'or example, in the suit
of equity against Standard Oil Com
pany, of New Jersey, and others,
tlu-re are some seventy corporations,
as Well as a number of individuals,
among the defendants.
“It is, of course, needless for me
to say that the mere fact that a
corporation or association is called
a ‘trust’ by John Moody in his
manual, does not prove, or even
lead to prove that the organization
in question or its members Lave
been guilty of any violation of feder
al law; neither is such guilt suggest
ed by the fact that such organisation
may do a laige and apparently pro
fitable business. The criminal pro
visions of the statute generally
known as the Sherman antitrust
law apply only, to those who enter
into contracts, combinatioB or con
spiracies in restraint of trade, and,
although the statute provides that
such contract, or conspiracy shall
be none the less criminal because it
takes the form of a trust, this does
not, of course, make trusts of them
selves criminal.
“Since I have been attorney-
general, this department has prose
cuted, either civily or criminally,
all cases of alleged misconduct un
der the statues above mentioned,
which have been brought its atten
tion from a dependable source, and
in which the results of a careful in
quiry by competent and impartial
officers disclosed the existence of-
such facts and such obtainable legal
evidence to prove them as afforded
a reasonable hope of success in such
prosecution. The policy of the de-
par.tment will be the' same during
the remainder of my term in office.”
WHEliE THE DEMO-
CRATIC RRE STM1B
NO. 21.
Col. W. R. Henry, Addresses
An Enthusiastic Crowd.
It appears that at the July, 1907,
meeting—more than a year ago—of
the Board of Education of Durham
county, C. W. Massey, Supe.inten-
dentofthat county, made report
that there was somethiHg “rotten in
Denmark”. And thereupon said
Board proceeded to adopt a certain
preamble and resolution, and in said
resolution occurs the following
language;
“If said Superintendent finds it
necessary or advisable he is autho
rized to obtain the services ot a
competent attorney to aid and as
sist iu coJlecfcirg all fines, forfeitures,
judgq3t':nts a”d other sums of money
if any, w'hich should be placed to
the credit of the school funu, and to
that end said attorney shall examine
the records of the courts of this
county and make diligent effort to
ascertain what sums, if any, are due
or should be paid to the schooil
fund; and any and all acte perform
ed by him under the direction of
said Superintendent are hereby ex
pressly confirajed anl ratified by
this Board.
“For the services of said attorney
rendered hereunder he shall be al
lowed the sura of 20 per centum on
all sums collected on any docketed
judgment, and the sura of ten per
centum on all other sums due said
school fund winch be may be in
strumental in collecting.”
It further appears that said. Su
perintendent found it necessary “to
obtain the services of a competent
(Democratic) attorney,” who was
duly employed and aft^r nearly
a year liad expired and after all
other plans had failed, the said
Board t!irough said attorney carried
the matter by petitution to the
Sujjerior court. Among the allega-
jtiops^ia ' inj«:
Subscribe fbrjthe Dispatch.
the following, in section sixoF said
petition:
“That A, L, Brooks, Solicitor,
instead of being diligent in the
pro.secution of forfeited bonds and
recognizances, and instead of col
lecting the same and requiring the
collections to he turned into the
school f'lod of Durham county, as
required by law, has carelessly neg
lected and failed in a large number
of sci fa cases to collect judgments
rendered on forfeited bonds and re-
cognixauoe,s, and has neglected iu
many cases to require the deposits
made in lieu of bond to be disposed
of according to law. That by rea
son of his negl^'ct in this respect the
school authorities, your petitioners,
deemed it advisable to employ an
attorney to collect any uusatisfied
judgments in which the school fund
had an intere.st, and to require the
propei appHcatian of deposits matle
iu lieu of bond and to collect any
other moneys that were fitund to be
di>e the school fund. That said
attorney lias collected on judgments
and deposits and caused to be paid
to the School Treasurer of Durham
county the sum of $939.55 realized
from said sources; that in retaxing
the Clerk’s fees in sundry bil^s of
costs he struck out fees irapvoperly
taxed aggregating$64.97 and caused
this fund to be paid into the scnool
fund: that in many cases of torf#^it-
ures all the costs in the original
action were paid out of the forfeit
ures and this attorney caused be
refunded k) the school fund by the
Board of County Commissioners of
Durham county the sura of $348.10
costs for which the County of Dur
ham was primarily liable. That
the aggregate of said sum so col
lected is |1,352.10, costs for which
the County of Durham was primar
ily liable. That the aggregate of
aaid sum so collected is $1,352.62
and as compensation for the said
services rendered to date the said
attorney has been paid the sum of
$154.65. That bad the said solici
tor properly performed the duties
impostd upon him by law this out
lay and anditional expense would
not have been incurred and the
school authorities would have had
the use and benefit of this mcj^ey
from the time it would have been
collected according to law.”
Tf the voter desir*\s morelis'ht on
Col. W. R. Henry, of Charlotte,
spoke to the Republicans of Bur
lington Saturday night, Otjt. 3rd.,
iu the Republican Club Room.
Quite an enthusiastic crowd was
present to hear the vital questions
of the day discussed. Col. Henry’s
usual proposal had been made to
divide time with the Democrats,
but this was refused when a young
Democrat by the name of Glidewell,
of Reidsville, ot whom the politi(tal
world had never heard, and who
was a stranger to Col. Henry him
self, was present.
Col. Henry said it was below his
dignity to enter a discussion with
this class of politicians, as he spoke
in.society with, and classified him
self with such men as Aycok, Glenn,
O verman and Kitchen. He said he
would glad to meet any of these at
any place and time as might be ar
ranged by the Republican and
Democratic Committees.
To make bad matters worse W.
H. Carroll rolled up his sleeves and
wanted to speak, when Uol. Henry
wanted to know who he was.
Col. Henry delivered a fine politi
cal speech which appealed to ev&ry
Republican to support the Republi
can ticket as he demonstrated very
plainly that our nation can only be
most successful and properous under
Republican Government.

Colored Teachers to Meet.
There will be a meeting of the
colored teachers (/f Alamance coun
ty, in the Court House at Graham,
October 24, 1908. The meeting
will b(^gin at 11 oclock, a. m. The
object of the meeting being to re or
ganize the County Teachers A.sso-
ciation, and to transact any other
busine.'ss coming before the body.
All colored teachers of the county
are earnestly requested to be present
as the law requires that all teachers
shall attend the County Teachers
Association.
W. R. Hall.
Pretty big c»'op of
crat” this fall.
‘Taft Demo-
the subject or ca ces to verify any of
these iX'mocfatic allegations, he can
easily do so by going to the public
records at the Court House in the
County of Durham. It is to be re
membered and not forgotten that all
of these charges and allegations are
Democratic and that all of the public
records in the counties composing
the Ninth Judicial District are kept
by Democratic officials. Not a
single charge has been originated or
made by a Republican. Not a sin
gle record has been kept by a Re
publican attorney has been employ
ed to prosecute in the matter. It
cannot, therefore, be said that these
are campaign charges trumped up
by Republican politicians. They
were made or started in July, 1907,
as appears from the foregoing when
there was no campaign on, by Dera-
ocratio officials. They are submitted
to the voter who is the juror and
the judge in the case. It is for the
voter to decide whether Mr. Brooks’
inordinate ambition and love of
money and his record entitle him to
a seat in Congress in preference to
Mr. Morehead, who is without pol
itical ambition and who is closely
identified with the, farming and
businc.--t3 interests of this District.

Henocratlc Sheriff of Tyr
rell County a Eefaulter.
W. B. Cooper who was Sheriflf
of Tyrrell county,, died at his home
in Coinmbus last Saturday. Upon
investigation it was found that he
was short in his ao(!onnt $2,507.40.
He having appeared before the £k)ard
of CtHinty Comiiii.ssioners the first
Monday in May and made full set
tlement th(^n, but failed to proiluce
his receipts from tIfe State Treasurer.
The County commissioners tixhi-
biting their skill business discre
tion settled with the sheriff without
securing the vouchers from the
State Treasurer. State Treasurer
Lacy wrote the Sheriff a few days
prior to his fWath stating that he
had brought suit for settlement in
February 1908, Upon examina^
tiod of the Sheriff’s private papers,
tax receipts were found in his pock
et book covering an agregate »f
$500 for S(dvent citizens who had
paid no tax during the past three
yeyrs. Yet all these parties against
whom these receipts are outstanding
w^ere returned at the proper time to
the regi.'^trar as having paid their
poll tax thereby entitling them tO
vote. This is a vivid illustration
of daily Democratic rule and their
political tactics as practiced in
North Cafolina.
