Hut the time has come whe H Is Impera

"The' substantive part of the antl-trust

foreign nations should continue to be de
clared Illegal; provided, however, that some
proper governmental authority (such as the
commissioner of corporations acting under
ihe secretary f commerce and labor) be
allowed to pass on any such contract.
Probably the best method of providing for
this would be to enact that any contraot,
subject to the prohibition contained In the
tntl-trust law, Into which it was desired to

unreasonable restraint of trade. Whenever
the period of filing had; passed without any
such prohibition, the contracts or combina
tions could be disapproved or forbidden
only after notice and hearing with a rea
sonable provision for summary review on
appeal by the courts. Labor organisations,
farmers' organisations and other organisa
tions not organised for purposes Of profit,
should b allowed to register under the
law by giving the location of tho head
office, the charter and bylaws, and the
names and addresses of their principal of
ficers. In the Interest of all these or
ganisationsbusiness, labor and farmers'
organisations alike the present provision
permitting the recovery of threefold dam
ages should be abolished, and as a substi
tute therefor the right of recovery-allowed
for should be only the damages sustained
by the plaintiff and the cost of the suit.
Including a reasonable attorney's fee.
Unreasonable Contracts.
"The law should not affect pending suits;
a short statute of limitations should be pro
vided, so far as the past is concerned, not
to exceed a year. Moreover, and even more
In the lntereet of labor than of business
combinations, all such suits brought for
causes of action heretofore occurred should
be brought only If the contract or com
bination complained of was unfair or un
reasonable. It may be well to remember
that all of the suits hitherto brought by
the government under the anti-trust law
have been In cases where the combination
or contract waa In fact unfair, unreason
abls and against the public Interest.
Tra.de Agreements Eaeeertsei.
"It Is Important that We should encour
age trade agreements between employer
and employe where they are Just and fair.
A strike Is a clumsy weapon for righting
wrongs done to labor, and we should ex
tend, so far as possible, the process of
conciliation and arbitration as a substitute
for strikes. Moreover, violence, disorder
and coercion, when committed In connec
tion With strikes, ' should be as promptly
and as sternly rep'ressed as when commit,
ted In any other connection. But strikes
themselves arc. and should be, recognized
to be entirely legal. Combinations of work
Ingmen have a peculiar reason for their
existence. The very wealthy individual
employer, and still more the very wealthy
corporation, stand at an enormous advan
tage when compared to the individual
worklnsnan; and while there are many
cases where It may not be necessary for
laborers to form a union, In many other
cases it is Indispensable, for otherwise the
thousands of small units, the thousands of
Individual worklngmen, will be left help
less in their dealings with the one big unit,
the big Individual or corporate employer.
"Twenty-two years ago, by the act of
June 29, 18S4, trades unions were recognised
by law. and the right of laboring people to
combine' for- all 'lawful purposes' was
formerly recognised, this right including
combination for mutual protection and ben
efits, the regulation of wages, hours and
conditions of labor, and the protection of
the Individual rights of the workmen In the
prosecution of their trade or trades; and in
the act of JuA L 1898, strikes were recog
nised as legal in the same proylslon. that

force or violence against pers6ns or prop-
' "A friend recommended Cooper's New
Discovery medicine to me, but I had been
disappointed so often that I was skeptical
Bhe waa so persistent, however, that I
finally consented to give It a trial as a
last resort. Accordingly, I purchased a
bottle of the Cooper preparation at the
Beaton Drug Store and began using It.
"To my surprise, results were lmm.dlate.
and after having used one bottle I feel
perfectly well. My stomach has been put
Into splendid condition, and the catarrh
In my head has disappeared. I have good
reason to be thankful to Mr. Cooper for
the benefit I have derived from his medi

erty, or the attempt to prevent others from
working. ' by violence, threat or Intimida
tion. The business men must be protetced
In person and property, and so must the
fsrmer and the wageworker; and as re
gards all alike, the right of peaceful com
bination for all lawful purposes should be
explicitly recognised.
, The Riant of Contract.
"The right of employers to combine and
contract with one another and with their
employes should be explicitly recognised;
and so should the right of the employes to
combine and to contract with one another
and with the employers, and to seek peace
ably to persuade others to accept their
views and to strike for the purpose of
peaceably obtaining from employers satis
factory terms for their labor. Nothing
should be done to legalise either a black
list or a boycott that would be Illegal at
common law, this being the type of boycott
defined and condemned by the Anthracite
Strike commission.
"The question of financial leglsaltlon Is
now receiving such sttentlon In both houses
that we have a right to expect action be
fore the close of the session. It Is urgently
necessary that there should be such action.
Moreover, action should be taken to estab
lish postal savings banka. These postal
savings banks are imperatively needed for
thf benefit of the wageworkers and men
of small means, and will be a valuable ad.
Junct to our whole financial system.
Tariff Revision Next rail.
'The time has come when we should pre
pare for a revision of the tariff. This
should be, and Indeed must be, preceded
by careful Investigation. It Is . peculiarly
the province of the congress and not of
the president, and Indeed peculiarly the
province of the house of representatives,
to originate a tariff bill and to determine
upon vlts terms; and this I fully realise.
Tet it seems to me that before the close of
this session provision should be m-He tnr
collecting full material which will enable
tne congress elected next fall to act imme
diately after It comes Into existence. This
would necessitate some action, by the con
gress at its present session, perhaps In the
shape of directing the proDer committee tn
gather the necessary information, both
mrougn tne committee Itself and through
government agents who should report to
the committee and should lay before It the
facts which would nermlt It to a. t oitn
prompt and Intelligent fairness. These gov
eminent agents, If It Is not deemed wise to
appoint Individuals from outside the public
service, might with advantage be members
of the executivoepartments, designated
by the president, on his own motion or on
the request of the comlmttee, to act with It.
I am of the opinion, however, thet
change in the tariff -could with advantage
De maae rortnwith. Our forests need every
protection, and one method of protecting
them would be to put upon the free list
wood pulp, with a corresponding reduction
upon paper made from wood pulp, when
they come from any country that does not
put an export duty upon them.
Water-re ys Commission.
"Ample provision should be m r.,r .
permanent waterways commission, with
wnaiever power is required to make it ef
fective. The reasonable exDertetinn r h
people will not be met unless the congress
provides at this session for the beginning
and prosecution of the actual work of
waterway Improvement and control. The
congress should recognise In fullest fash
Ion the fact that the subject of the con
servation of our natural mnnma --i.t.
which the commission deals. Is literally
vuai ior xne ruture or the nation. -"Numeroua
bills granting water nw.
rights on navigable streams have been In
troduced. None of them give the govern
ment the right to m,ake,a'reasqnable charge
for the valuable privileges so granted, In
spite of the fact that these Water power
privileges are equivalent to many thoxX
sands of acres of the best coal lands for
their production of power. Nor Is any
definite time limit set, ss should slways
be done In such cases. I shall be nhii-
hereafter. In accordance with the policy
stated In a recent message, to veto any
water power bill which does not provide
for a time limit and for the right of the
president or of the secretary concerned
to fix and collect such a charge as he may
find to be Just and reasonable in each
case."

fields with their plows snd are already
breaking for the firat crop of the spring.
There Is plenty of mototure in the ground,

Tennessee Republicans Engage la
Warfare at Convention.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March S. The re
publican state convention to elect presiden
tial electors for the state and delegates for
the state st large to the Chicago conven
tion which was called to order at 10 o'clock
thla morning was the stormiest In years.
A fight on between the Evans and Brown-
low factions seemed to make a Serious
split Inevitable. Two conventions will prob
ably result. W. J. Oliver, ths contractor,
la a candidate for national committeeman,
A special Oliver train from east Tennessee
arrived this morning with 800 men and two
brass bands on board. The Oliver crowd
had sicurtd the capltol and every public
hall In the city.
The Evens people are In control, but ths
Brownlow faction attempted to dominate?
No sooner had the convention been called
to order at the capltol than pandemonium
broke loose, resulting In a dosen fist fights
between members of the Evans-Brownlow
factions. Order was restored In a few
minutes by the police. A negro and a
whits man later had a set to. They were
arrested and sent to the police station.
After order had been restored the Oliver
people organised by electing State Senator
W. T. Davis of Claiborne county as chair
man. The convention got down to business
In a very greatly confused manner. The
following were elected delegates from ths
state at large to the national republican
convention:
Daniel Cooper Swab of Claiborne county,
Jesse I Rogers of Knox county, H. C.
Anderson of Shelby county, Jesse M. Little
ton of Franklin county.
W. J. Oliver was endorsed for national
committeeman.
The convention commended Taft, Hughes,
Fairbanks, Cannon and ' Foraker, making
no specific endorsement for president.
The policies of President -Roosevelt were
endorsed snd the "pernicious activity of
federal officeholders" wss strongly con
demned. The convention adopted a resolution pro
viding that the delegates to the national
convention, botn from the state at large
and from the congressional districts, shall
submit their claims as delegates to a legal
ised primary If the delegates from the
"bolters" will do the same.
The statement was made from the chair
that W. J. Oliver would put up a certified
check, for $5,000 to pay the expenses of
such a primary election. It was also de
clared that Mr. Oliver will submit his
claims to endorsement for national com
mitteeman to a primary If the candidate
for the opposing faction will do the same.
He proposed, too, to pay the expenses of
such a primary election.
The Evans faction met In the hsll where"
the Oliver crowd was holding forth, called
the roll Of the districts, appointed a ere-
dontlals committee snd adjourned until to
morrow morning.
