A3? EXPECTKI) REVERSAL.
THE REVERSAL of Judge
Landls' sensational judgment
against the Standard Oil com
, pany, recruiring it to pay a
fine of $29,400,000. was only what
t most well-informed people expected.
The appellate court gives reasons for
the reversal which, are presumably
sufficient. In brlof, the higher court
holds that the Statndard Oil com
pany ai denied throe rights which
re guaranteed by the constitution
to every defendant, even though it
fce a monopolistic- corporation that
exacts tens of millions of exhorbitant
profits yearly from ithe people. Judge
Landls is declared to have made
numerous errors, ospeciaiiy in as
suming the functions of a jury and
basing his sentence on facts ascer
tained to his own satisfaction, where
as a judge must be blind to facts.
The defendant, the ajpjpellate court
ays, was fined without-trial and
even without indictment; which can't
2e done. Besides, the appellate court
holds that Judge Landis was wrong
throughout. In everything he did.
He rejected proper evidence; he
should have allowed everything
asked for by the defendant, whereas
' he allowed nothing; and finally the
fines. If any, should haveKbeen nom
.. inal, or moderate.
This ends the great prosecution of
the glgrahtic octopus. Thftre is no
likelihood of this decision being re
versed, and under it there. Is not one
Chance in a thousand of ever con
victing the Standard Oil company
and inflicting any punishment worth
while! It appears that a nisi prius
Judge In any such case la. sure to go
wrong unless he decides all points
In favor of a defendant monopoly.
If he considers any facts they must
be such as are favorable to the cor
poration. 'The law has a thousand-
i and-one loopholes of escape for any
defendant like this. Besides, such a
corporation can wear-out the people,
the government; its forces can be
- better handled and ane stronger. And
the people cant change the laws,
because congress legislates, aa a rule,
for the corporations instead of for
the people.
This failure of the government
accentuates and emphasizes the
'paramount issue," which is the
necessity of the people regaining and
maintaining greater power, and se
curing better service from their of
ficials, including the courts. These
great combines, under the law, have
entirely too much power. They must
be regulated, restricted, controlled,
and if necessary for this purpose
laws must, be radically changed.
They are now alsuost supreme in
power, under our Saws, though they
are mere creatures of the law. The
people must gain the supremacy; the
creator must control the creature.
This will be the broad, central,
"paramount issue" until the people
get on top or become hopelessly and
supinely the vassals of the monopo
listic corporations.'

Aldrlch, Elktns, Dalzoll ami the rent
of them are not going to change
their policies and performances any
more than the Ethiopian is going to

Wo shall hope, and even venture
to expect, thilt the people will be
able to bring euch a pressure to
bear upon the next congress that It
will yield something to waterways,
but let nobody be so simple as to
believe that the people are going to
get anything of a congress like the
last that the railroads and trusts
oppose, except It be by herculean ef
forts. Without a great change in
its personnel and leadership, the
next congress. Just like the last and
Its predecessors, will be framed up
for the trusts and railroads and

latter get they will have to fight for.

said, was a guarantee against evils

Mr. Taft, then, while he might

ululates the New York Evening
Post. "The country needs a rest,"
yelps the whole chorus of mammon-
serving organs in the east, and al
ready several newspapers In Oregon
are cuckooing the refrain.
"Thank heaven Mr. Taft will. If
elected, understand the constitu
tional limitations of tho presidential
office," exclaimed Senator Spooner
in a speech at Yale, and comment
ing on this Jab at President Roose
velt, the New York Evening Post
adds, "a certain robust person In eye
glasses will please take notice."
Ex-Secretary Leslie M. Shaw, crea
ture of Wall street, jabbing at the
president's attempts to prosecute the
trusts, declared in a Taft ratification
meeting, "criminal prosecution is not
the object of government."
And so the chorus swells. Reac
tion thinks its turn has come to even
iid with the proslrent. They hail
Mr. Taft as their Moses, while pre
paring to drive a political poniard
through Mr. Roosevelt and his pol
icies. It matters not that the presl
dent has the support and approval
ot nine tenths of the American peo
ple. It matters not that since the
days of Lincoln. Mr. Roosevelt has
been the one president resolute In
the demand of equal justice for all
It matters not that he appealed from
the White House to congress for
remedial legislation that the country
clamored for and needed. It mat
ters not that he used the presiden
tial office and Its great prestige to
break up the unholy alliance of dis
honest "Interests" with the govern
ment. It matters not that more
than any other president he de
nounced "rich malefactors of
wealth" and went to great lengths
to awaken the public conscience
against those who amass swollen
fortunes through special favors from
government. Nothing matters now
in the game of politics that Is to be
played, in which Mammon proposes
that, for his pains in behalf of 5the
great American commonality, Mr.
Roosevelt shall bo punished, Roose-
veltlsm and Roosevelt policies are to
be discredited. The intrepid man
himself Is to be howled and hissed at
as a scapegoat. The people are to
be taught, if possible, that his meth
ods and his theories are wrong and
dangerous. The one presidential ef
fort that has been made to pull the j
government back into its old anchor
age is to be held up as a vain man's
folly, to be hooted at, howled at and
jeered at by the hyenas of Wall
street.

the World. "The country needs a

UK slaughter of the Innocents Is
not confined to Kislilneff or
Teheran. True, we do not see
such vivid reports of the fatali
ties, but they are entered on city
and county records. The slaughter of
the Innocents has reached such alarm
ing proportions In New York during
the heated term that a plan has been
put Into execution by the .health de
partments in conference with the de
partment of education, and a plan form
ulated for reaching Ignoriint mothers
who through carelessness let their
babies die in the hot weather, not by
ones or even by tens, but by hundreds.
The conference on the summer care
of babies Is the result of this scheme
Tor reaching the tenement mothers, and
the organization has been working
through the children of these families
who attend the public schools. A large
number of printed cards were sent to
every teacher of every school room.
These cards, which may be had for the
asking, are printed In bright inks and
have a picture of u tenement baby done

tions on the care und feeding of babies

the gist of the advice must, It would
seem, penetrate every mother's brain.
These cards of Instruction would be
of little use. however. If it were not

to her death July 20, following three
criminal operations by Dr. J. S. Court
ney, now a delegate to the national con
vention of the Ancient Order of Hiber
nians at Indianapolis, was tha verdict
of the coroner's Jury this morning. Dr.
Courtney left for the east July 14. He
is expected home August 4.
I'r. J. AV. Morrow was wining; to
perform the operation, but was not
willing to extend credit, testified the
dead girl's older sister.
Tho sister, Lillian Bennett, aged 24,
a waitress, together with Dr. Courtney,
will In all probability face the grand
Jury. The district attorney's office now
has the matter under investigation,
though no formal charges have yet been
laid.
Louis Bowen. an employe of the Wells
Fargo Express company, was arrested
last evening In connection with the
case. He Is now In the cltv Jail.
At the Inquest Bowen swore that
Stella would not marry him. Under
pressure from the older sister he gave
her $30 with which to pay the doctor's
bill. In this he was corroborated by
the testimony of Lillian Bennett.
The unfortunate girl's parents knew
nothing of her illness until she was
taken to St. Vincent's hospital.
W. p. Bennett, living at 869 Kast
Glisan street, the girl's home, is vice
president of the American Mining syn
dicate, a company handling a gold-saving
machine. He testified that he had
heen absent from the city and knew
nothing of the girl's Illness until his
return, July 10.
The mother. Mrs. Alice Bennett, the
mother of nine children, testified that
she knew nothing about the matter, that
Bowen told he he wanted to marry
Stella, but that the girl would not marry
him, as she was "mad" at Bowen.
As I'r. Courtney Is absent from the
city, having left here July 14. his side
was not presented at the lnquept which
was held at tho Holman establishment
and continued for two hours. Dr. Nor
rien had forbidden the burial of Stella
Bennett until the case could be Investi
gated, his suspicions being aroused at
the time of the girl's death at the hos
pital, where Dr. E. H. Parker found the
girl was In the last stages of septlce-mla.
According to the story told the coro

girl's sister, and the most Important wit
ness, she returned from Baker City to

Fred Hamilton, now In the county
Jail for the robbery of three Jewelry
stores, is an acquaintance or Miss Ben
nett, and she asked him what doctor to
go to, though she did not tell him It
was her sister whom she wished treat
ed, she testified. Hamilton directed
hor to Dr. Knima M. Linden, but Dr.
Linden declined the case.
The two girls then visited Dr. J. XV.
Morrow In the Oregonlan building. He
demanded $50 In advance. From this
office they went to Dr. Courtney who
accepted the case and performed three
operations, one on June 28 another on
July 2 and the third July t.

Twenty Hindus, more or less, have
been causing much excitement In the
new county of Hood river In the last
few days, ail because they cut Into one
of the main ditches of the Hood River
Irrigation district and spilled the water
Into a creek before It could reach the
verdant fields of alfalfa and apple
groves below. One thing that ad dad to
the excitement was that a wtfilte man
In command of the dusky contingent
was preventing any repairs of the break,
thereby threatening a lopg drouth.
The Hindus wera amplftyed by Charles
lyee who has a contract with G. XV.
McCoy of Vancouver, owner of the land,
for riearlna a Dortlnn of his holdings.
In the work of clearing, the Hindus ln

land. H. H. Rlddell. his attorney, says
that McCoy has been seeking to get a
settlement ever since the ditch was
built, but his requests were Ignored.
The policy of Ignoring him changed
when the Hindus opened the ditch. Tel
egrams and letters began to pour Into
Riddell's office and papers In the con
demnation suit were sent to Sheriff
Stevens to serve. Today Rlddell sent
a telegram to tha foreman of the Hin
