The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1901-08-29

LETTERS have this week been
exchanged by the joint committee
representing the Antitrust
League and the Knights of Labor
and the Attorney General Of the
United States, but it cannot be
truthfully said that the trust
situation has been cleared by
them to any extent. The com
mittee asked the Attorney
General for any information con-
corning the steel trust that might
be in his possession, acquired by
him officially as lawyer. II the
Attorney General considered the
request either insolent or un-
usual he did not show it in his
reply, in which he said he had no
information about the trust and
was never consulted in any
manner about the formation of
the trust or the transfer to it OF
the Carnegie Steel Company, of
which he was for a time one OF
the legal advisers. He minated,
however, when he said that the
Department of Justice was not
called in to begin to furnish in
formation to private litigants,
that he would not nave furnished
the information if he had had it.
Following the Attorney Gen
erals letter the committe issued
statement declining to accept
Mr.. Knox's denial as final and
challenging him to offer a reward
in the name of the Department
of Justice, for the production OF
evidence that will convict any
person or persons OF having
violated the Federal Antitrust
law. And there the matter
stands now, and is most likely to
stand if a change can only be
brought about by official action
of the Attorney General.

Endurance OF California;. Trees.

Astonishing as the figures Of heights
and circumference of the big trees of
California may seem, one is still more
surprised at the age of some of the
trees, which cannot be less than $500
to 5000 years old, says an English
magazine. Think of it! When Saul
was anointed King of Israel these vast
columns began to break their way
through the soil. Yet they have en-
dured while Israel fell before Babylon.
Babylon before Persia, Persia before
Alexander the Great; Greece and
Rome rose and fell, and the building

TENDENCY TOWARD BIENNIAL
ECTIONS

The completely Of American politics
offhand a simple question that came to
this office a few days ago. The in
quirer wanted to know how many
states had elections next Tuesday
Some have elections of minor offices
that hardly count.
Two Boston papers yesterday at
tempted to give a list of the states
holding elections on Nov. 5. One of
them gave eight states and the other
gave ten, showing that even in Boston
there is some uncertainty on the sub
ject.
State officers are to be chosen next
Tuesday in Iowa, Massachusetts,,
Maryland Mississippi, Nebraska,
New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island and Virginia. Legisla-
lures are to be chosen in Iowa, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Ohio, Massachusetts,
Nebraska, New Jersey. New York and
Virginia; and the first four in the list
are to elect United States Senator's In
South Carolina and Texas, Congress-
men are to be elected to fill vacancies
Connecticut is to elect delegates to the
Constitutional Convention which is to
meet in January in accordance with the
vote at the October election.
The only state where there is any
real contest this year is Maryland
where German is attempting to carry
the Legislature in order to win back his
seat in the senate. Mr.. Bryan is at
tempting ito keep Nebraska in the Dem
ocratic column, and possibly there is a
chance for Democratic success. But the
great struggle in New York City is the
chief political attraction of the year.
The tendency everywhere in recent
years has been to eliminate the annual
state elections, giving the legislators
two years of service, and in most cases
entirely eliminating state elections in
odd years.
We believe that eventually municipal
elections will be held in this country
pretty uniformly in the odd years on
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November; while in the even
years the election Of state officers and
of congressman will be made. In this
way the municipal affairs are not in
extricably untangled partisan issues.
elections are reduced to a minimum
number so that large vote may be
polled without serious disturbance or
loss Of time.

The Great Fruit State

Last years crop of California rails
ms is estimated at about $1,000 tons.
The prunes grown in the same state
weighed about $4,000 tons. The oranges
and lemons made $4,000 carloads. They
may have weighed 100000 tons
Iurn these figures into pounds, and
the total run so far up into the mill
lions that it is seen that the one state
OF California produces enough fruit to
give every man, woman and child in
the United States several pounds
apiece Including the peaches, the
grapes used, in the fresh form, the
lemons, the apples, the plums, the
cherries, the pears, the apricots, and
all the rest of the orchard products,
there must have been at least ten
pounds apiece for all the inhabitants
of the American republic.
That is the true gold of the Golden
state. The sunshine which makes it's
oranges and peaches yellow and gives
all its fruit fine color and abundant
flavor is the greatest gold mine ever
discovered in the great state that
stretches along the Pacific Ocean from
Mexico to Oregon. The grain helps.
and so does the wool, and the minerals
Will long be of great Importance, but
it seems probable that California is
destined to be rich and famous, most
of all, for its fruit and it's charms of
climate and scenery.-Cleveland

EDITORIAL COMMENT

1t is much to the credit of the young
men of America that the news of a
battle in the Philippines is always
marked by an immediate increase in
the number of applicants for enlist
ment. The officer in charge of the To-
cal recruiting station pays this tribute
to the patriotism of the young men of
this part of the country, and he de-
clares it to be the fact at other sta
tons, that the prospect Of danger al
ways causes a revival of interest in the
army. This is not a mere daredevil,
adventurous spirit which is manifested,
but an evidence of the tremendous Ia
tent patriotism of the American peo-
ple.-Kansas City Journal.
News comes that the "home rule"
party at Hawaii-made up of Kanakas,
half-br and a few morally off-color
white men-has nominated the mis-
chief making half-breed Wilcox for the
goVernorship. President Roosevelt has
seen Wilcox in Washington, and is
probably familiar with his record. We
hope the President will acquaint him
self with the condition of things in
the islands. He's an adopted Yale man
now, and there are several good Yale
men out there who will gladly furnish
him all the information he wants, and
on whose word he can rely implicitly
