The return of Col. Hooker to Con
gress, which he first entered near thir-
ty years ago, will signally illustrate the
political possibilities the ups and
downs of the wooer of the Congress-
ional bee 1t will be triumph upon
which the old veteran may well be
complimented rising from defeat of
six years ago which seemed to write
fms upon long and honorable career,
is proper cause for pride. He will. too,
have won over one of the most popu-
lar men and best all-around mixers"
in the State.
The defeat of so genial and popular
a man as Major Pat Henry would be
far more deeply and generally regret
ted if it carried condemnation of his
record in Congress any rebuke to
him personally. But there seems to
be no issue involved in the contest
save that of McLaurin and anti Nc
Laurin. The Major is being opposed
on the ground of his identity with the
clan, and Col. Hooker was brought
forth from his retirement to champion
the opposition. 1t is clear case of a
vicarious victim. FickSbarg Herald.

Alaska will probably be the theatre
of the next gold war. $4,000 men are
preparing to go there to join the TO-
900 already on the ground. Much of
the gold lies along the shore and as it
has been officially decided that Their e
is no title to any of the tidal water
shores, the American capitalist has de
cided to take hand in the grab game.
He has built fleet with huge suction
pipes, that will easily take the wind
out of the poor miner with his shovel
and dish as he, single handed, scoops
the nuggets from the gravelly sand.
However, these, latter, are in no mood to
see their prospective fortunes dredged
away before their own eyes, and will
not hesitate to shoot the rifles that ac
company them On the other hand the
dredgers are plated with iron and
equipped with the latest machine guns,
that can sweep the shore with deadly
hail of bullets. "Shylock, we would
have monies the capitalists will
doubtless come out on top as in the
South African war.

cred with growing corn The new crop
is now six feet high. Last year it av-

weather does not affect it; it is very
rich and spongy and retains moisture
well, and was purchased at 81 and 81. %

part of it was sold to Springfield cap

aud successful efforts at drainage that

THE @. o. P. ANTITRUST PLANK.

If you are inclined to relish a politi.
cal joke, read the following antitrust
plank in the republican national plat
form:
''Wo recognize the necessity and propriety
OF the honest cooperation of capital to meet
new business conditions and especially to ex-
tend our rapidly increasing foreign trade but
we condemn all conspiracies and combina-
tions intended to restrict business, to create
monopolies, to limit production or to control
prices and favor such legislation as will effect
ually restrain and prevent all such abuses
protect and promote competition and secure
the rights Of producers, laborers and all who
are engaged in industry and commerce."
Notice how trusts are complimented
in the beginning and how the people
are treated to liberal dose of taffy in
the last. 1t requires more than an Or
dinary amount of gall for the republi-
can party to say that 1t favors ''such
legislation as will effectually restrain
and prevent all such abuses" etc. The
absurdity Is very plain when it is re-
membered that the party has been in
power nearly a half century during
which time practically all of our insti-
tutions OF combined wealth have grown
up. II they are in favor of "such leg
islation" ETC., why haYe they not enact.
cd law to bring relief to the people or
"preyent" this robbery? And il they
are now in favor of doing something
along these lines, why don't they name
the measure 30 that the people can pass
upon 1t? The plank is the weakest
promise made by party with its record
Delieing 1t, that has ever been seen in
political history. If the voters are
caught by such flimsiness, they deserve
to be taxed into bankruptcy. Will you
be caughtp

Wherein lies the difference

Wherein lies the difference
between our supreme court
and a king. A king is a life
time fixture; so is a judge of
the supreme court. A king is
enthroned by heritage;a judge
by a president who is not
himself elected by the people.
The people cannot remove a
king; neither can they a
Judge. The king is the SUI
preme power of the land and
from him there is no appeal.
So with the supreme court.
Yes, you are living under a
ldespotisn, even though yon

A great argument and a
particular hobby for> those
who are opposed to govern.
ment ownership Of railroads
is that railroads pay taxes
under private ownership but
would not pay a dollar under
government ownership. They
overlook the fact, however,
that the people pay the rail
roads more than double COM
pound interest on the paltry
sums they pay in the way of
taxes, in the shape of bonds,
interest on bonds, land
grants and excessive rates.
If the railroads today would
cancel the bonds they hold
against the people through.
out the United States, the
people could we'll afford to
exempt them from taxation.
The people have paid enough
bonded indebtedness to build
every mile of railroad in the
United States, saying, moth
ing of the millions they have
spent in the way of land
grants, donated labor and ex-
cessive transportation rates.
The taxes paid into the pub
lie treasury by the transpor-
tation monopoly compared
with the money paid to the
monopoly by the people, are
as drop to an ocean.
