Parker gives extracts from speeches
made by Roosevelt and of Mr. Hoot
In the last seven years, ouq extract
being from Mr. Root's speech on cen
tralization before the Pennsylvania
society. He adds:
"The frankness of these two gteat
leaders In announcing an intention to
secure what they deemed needed pow
er for tho federal government through
other sources than the people must
be commended. But their purpose
cannot bo commended by those who
would protect the constitutional
right of the people to grant or with
hold additional power to the federal
government
"The leading purpose of tho pro
posed federal license and of the pro
posed corporation tax nre central
ized federal control over tho business
of the country. Both plans seek to
accomplish by Indirection that which
the federal government cannot do by
direct action.''
In support of his assertion that some
of the large corporations welcome the
tax, the judge refers to the fight made
by four large insurance companies to
get a national insurance law and to
the approval of the tariff by Presi
dent Corey of the steel corporation.

SunrJ,Uendent Ejl Boyer of tho

practice of paiohng prisoners on tho
wholesale plan Inaugurated in Cleve
land several years ago
He is Inclined to question the mo
tives of the parties issuing the pa
roles In such casBS and attributes
their clemency to political chicanery,
ratht'r than to a desire to assist the
prisoner.
Only two or three tlmesa year are
paroles issued from the local work
house, and then only on the strong
recommendation of the committing"
court. The case must be a very ,
strong one In favor of parole before
the directors here will grant one.
' The practice simply annuls the law

Washington, Aug 18. That Lieu
tenant James N. Sutton, Jr., of the
marine corp3 came to his death by
his own hand, either intentionally or
while trying to kill another, lb the
decision reached by the coutt of In

did not commit suicide but was killed
while fighting with a number of his
