WITH THE BARK ON.

President Mckinley is reported
to have sent the following dispatch
to General Otis at Manila:
Force the fighting. Penetrate
far into the interior and capture or
destroy every warning Filipino. F"
This, or similar message,
should have been sent at the in
slant of the ratification of the peace
treaty with SPAN.
1t was the hesitation. the mac
tivity, the halting and the wait
for r-something-to-turn-up on the
part of the war officials at Wash
ington that encouraged and aided
the Aguinaldo junta in its desper-
ate attempt to defy the rightful au-
thority of the United States.
Had the word gone forth at the
first attack on our forces, as the
word was given to Dewey. to pur-
sue and destroy every vestige of
armed opposition to our authority,
the affair there would have ended
long ago
The delays have only encOurag-
ed the plotters against the best in
terests of the Filipino people, to
levy more troops, to gather great
er stores and to supply their un-
willing soldiery with more arms.
This order is better late than
never, however. 1t will put new
heart into our troops, it will con-
vince the powers that We mean to
firmly establish our authority
there, and it will notify the dis
turbing elements among the Filipi-
nos that they must yield to the
supremacy of this government or
suffer the consequences. - Fort

ARDMoRE, MONDAY. MAY 15.
INSULT TO INTELLIGENCE.

Unless they are ignorant apollo
gists for trusts are the benefci-
aries of these monopolies in di-
rect or related way. If the ratio
of trust formation is kept up the
capitalization of these combina-
tions will aggregate by the end of
the current year Sc, 900, 100000.
The pretense of these concerns
have at heart the benefit of the
consumer by reducing prices is the
boldest insult ever offered to pub
lie intelligence.
One of the first action of most
of the trusts after their formation
was to advance prices and they
have given the screw an additional
turn several times since. Prices
have advanced again and again
because the trust has the power to
exact whatever price it chooses.
The manufacturer whose plant has
been bought up by the trust or
who has been taken into member
ship is benefited, but where does
the consumer come in?
Whenever trust greed pushes up
prices to a point whore cOnsump-
ton is checked, trust charity does
not reduce prices, but trust rapac-
itv proceeds to restrict production
so as to make it conform to the
demand of those able to stand the
exaction. Reduced production
throws more workers out of en-
ployment. This is beneficial neither
to the consumer nor to the wage
Garner.
For another reason the consumer
is not benefited. 2 Every trust is
over capitalized. To pay divi-
dends on this over capitalization
there must be large percentage
of profits on gross earnings. That
increase must be supplied by the
high prices exacted of the con
sumer and the low wages paid the
wage Garner.

THE Chicago Daily News says:
THE man behind the plow is to
be compelled to pay - per cent
more for his implements hereafter,
owing to the fact that the plOw-
makers have combined against
him. The manufacturers say there
is no trust, but this is one of the
cases in which there doesn't seem
TO be much in name.

Allotment of Lands.

South McAlester. l. T., May 13.
If the determination of the chief
men of the Choctaw nation will
avail anything the allotment of
lands in the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw nations will begin about next
November. Since allotment has
to be begun it seems to be the de-
sire to have it began as speedily
as possible and get through with
it. There can be nothing done be-
fore Sept. l in this line, however,
as the Dawes commission will not
be through with taking the census
before September. 1t is safe to say
however, that allotment will begin
in the Choctaw nation before the
end of the year.

Pnstnrlns sorghum.

Some trouble is reported in Nebraska
in regard to pasturing sorghum. DR..
Peters of the experiment station of
that state reports considerable num-
Der of deaths occurring from this cause,
but sufficient Investigation has not yet
been made to ascertain positively
whether the trouble is impaction, pois-
on or a germ disease. Investigation is
to be made, however, and in the mean
time the caution is published for the
guidance of cattlemen who use sor-
ghum. Commenting upon this matter,
the Iowa Homestead remarks that
the frequent evil effects that follow
the use of second growth sorghum
have often been mentioned, but it does
not understand that it is the second
growth crop that Is now complained Of.

A Russian woman Editor.

An accomplished young Russian,
Anna Evremoff, is now in this country.
She was at first an editor in her own
country; but, committing the fatal mis-
take of having original opinions, her
paper was suppressed, and she betook
herself to the University Of Heidel-
berg and was the first woman ever
granted a diploma in law at Leipsic.
The story of her degree is that she
was refused for the sufficient reason
that she was woman. One day the
king Of Saxony visited the university
and, noticing this one woman among
the many men, accosted her and, find
ing that she was Russian, asked her
If she was happy in his country, on
which she told her story, with the ef-
feet that the king ordered that she Inn
mediately have her examination. She
was able to prove her right to q d.
ploma and received it.-Argonaut.

Convenient In Apple Picking.

In picking apples a good sack spread
is very convenient, says an Ohio Farm
er writer. When picking winter APP
pies, as rule. we take mill sack
and put an apple in a corner in the bot.
tom of the sack and a string through
the corner at the top. Then, tying the
string around above the apple, one has
a shoulder basket. as Illustrated.
In order to have both hands free.
many apple pickers will cut short
stick and by sharpening both ends
push each end through the sack. as
shown at the top of the dotted line in
