The present issue of THE REFORMEI marks
its hepinuing under Encouragement of Ullery
& Co. and a brief statement of the aims and
purposes of the new proprietorsis here given.
TIL REFORMER will he published as Al in
dependent paper and will be edited in the
same able manner as heretofore. 1t Will be
devoted to the great fundamental principles
on which it believes the republicsi life to de-
pend, never a slave to any party or organiza-
ton, always presenting the truth as it sees 1t
and never knowingly preferring a dishonest
sympathizer to an honest opponent.
First of all it will be a newspaper
sparing no effort to handle completely and
promptly the events of town, county and
state, and endeavoring in every issue to pro-
vide a well digested resume of the worlds
news. In the treatment of local issues and
controversies, candor, fairness and good TEN
per will be combined with devotion to al that
works for local growth and upbuilding.
In appearance the paper will be i'm
proved by the use of a better grade Of pa
per, new type and modern machinery.

The chapter is now being opened as
sardonlcally predicted by Ex-Attor-
ney General Griggs when he re-
marked that the worst sufferers from the
trusts would be the people who had
been green enough to buy their stock
and bonds. The Republic Iron and Steel
Co, itself a combination Of smaller con-
Germs and the largest one outside the big
trust, operating mostly in the middle
south and west, has Just made its annual
report. 1t shows for this year of re-
markable prosperity a net profit OF only
1909, 099, about one-seventh of that of
the previous year and not o%ne-fourth
enough to pay the dividend on its
3d., 100000 common stock further back.
Like all the trusts, it paid fancy prices
for old plants and antiquated machinery
and is now taking the consequences.
The Linseed OIL trust has also made its
report, aud admits a loss OF 81 ,402,i ADJ
and further that a loss of 81, 100000 in
the first and previous seven months of
the company's existence was covered up
in the balance-sheet by increasing the
inventory value of the plants. Such div
idends as have been paid must there
fore have come out Of capital.

Under the law as changed in 1856 in
case of President Roosevelt's death, the
succession would fall to the secretary of
state and then TO the different cabinet
officers through the treasury, war law,
postofice, navy and interior departments.
Prior to 1856 the succession was placed
with the speaker of the House and then
stopped. The change was made because
the provision did no. seem sufficient
against all contingencies, and besides 1t
was Objectionable because the speaker
might lot be easily accessible in case OF
a vacancy, and still further he might be
of the party opposed to the administra-
ton aud so a reversal be wrought Of the
governments whole policy without &C.
tiou by the people. The objection to the
present system is that by it men may be
elevated to the presidency who have
never been voted for by the people.
