Photographic the Baby.

A young photographer, when asked
what sort of subjects presented the
greatest difficulties to him, replied
without moments hesitation, "Ba-
bies: don't mean the babies them
selves" he added. 1T is not so hard
to get what I consider satisfactory
negatives of them. It's the relatives
that make all the trouble.
For instance" he continued. Il
took photographs of little ten-month-
old fellow the other day in six differ
ent positions. Yesterday sent proofs
to his mother, and today she brought
them In.
I'm sorry she said, without any
obvious grief, but none of these mega
tives. will do

though I was prepared for what was to
follow.
"'No.' she said, I'm afraid not. You
see, like this one very well, though,
OF course, 1t does"'t do the baby JUS
tice; but his aunt Ellen says it's an
absolute caricature of the dear little
fellow. The one she likes I don't care
for at all, and his papa says he should
never know for whom it was intended;
it looks so cross, and baby is such a
sunshiny child s,. =, lax ..:s,...
The one he likes, this smiling one,
I shouldn't consider for a moment, for
1t makes baby's mouth look so much
larger than it really is.
His grandmother chose that one.
but as Cousin Fanny said, there's a
very queer look in the child's eyes in
livery queer! However, she likes
that one where he's almost crying, that
sober one. You ought to have heard
baby's grandfather when she said she
liked it.
He really decided the thing, for
what he said seemed so sensible. He
asked me why didn't have some more
taken, and see if there wouldn't be at
least one that would look like baby.
Now, when can he sit again? It's
hard for me to spare the time, but you
see it is the only thing to be done"-

TRUSTS abound in free trade
England as well as in the tariff
protected United States. They are
also cropping out in Germany,
France and other European coun-
tries. Therefore, it is evident that
trusts are not the peculiar product
of our own political system. Be-
yond doubt, trusts arc ruinous to
the competitive system, but it has
not yet been clearly demonstrated
that they are injurious to the ac-
tual producers and consumers;
in many respects they have proven
beneficial to both the latter classes
The chief opposition to the trusts
arises from the fact that they cause
a ccntralization of wealth, giving
the great power that money gives
to few. This is the most serious
side of the trust question. Still.
it is Il matter of great doubt in oul
mind whether to break them up (i1
they can be broken up) wouI(
bring any benefits to the masses 0!

Strike at the Roots.

Representative Bohart's charges
Of lobby influence and the conse-
quent difficulty Of securing equit-
able legislation were, perhaps, de-
livered in somewhat exaggerated
strain, but it is not the less unfortu-
nate that there should be any basis
whatever for such charges in the
Missouri Legislature.
In the opening days of the For
tieth General Assembly it was con
cedcd that one of the first and
most important tasks awaiting that
body was the correction Of the lob
by evil. The work Of preceding
legislatures had been sorely imped-
ed and in many cases nullificd SC
far as beneficial legislation was
concerned, through the malignan
influence of the lobby. 1t was con
fidently expected that the Forfeit
General Assembly would do mucl
to free the State from the reproacl
caused by lobby domination in Jcf
ferson City.

a Disastrous Game OF FreeZe-Out.

There seems to be something
wrong with the computation of the
Filipino leaders, as it is telegraph
ed to us all the way from Hong
Kong. The computation is that
the American Army will be dimin-
ished by wounds and disease, at
the rate of twenty a day. That
would be, say, 1000 a year. But
twenty American casualties seemed
to be regularly Offset by from 100
to 500 Filipino casualties. Say
only 100, and we have $4,000 Ia
gals accounted for in Il year. In
view of the facts the Filipino ex-
pcctation seems to be as fallacious
as that of the legendary Irishman
who was found in his nightshirt i'll
a snowdrift holding a dog, and ex-
planned to the wondering stranger
that he was going 10 freeze the
basic to death.
