worried About Mr.. Carnegie.

Say, young man." said the nice looking
gentleman, who admitted that he had social
istic tendencies, where is Andrew Carnegie
going to come out in this steel strike? You
see, there has been so much written and said
about the $3.50 900 that is a burden to the
steel king, and the disgrace connected with
dying rich. OF course, there is no doubt
about the disgrace end of it. Therefore 1t is
only natural that Mr.. Carnegie should try to
get rid Of this burden But did it ever strike
you that possibly he may get rid of 1t in
different way than he expected? This strike
is going to raise trouble particularly in steel
stocks Probably before 1t Is over Mr.. Car
negie Will not have all of that $3.50, ,O0O 600
that he is trying so hard to dispose of; but
then, reckon, he will still have enough 10
build the libraries that he has contracted for
and be able to keep the wolf from the door
as long as he lives"

The British empire is still to be an en-
pire without an emperor and must strug-
gle along with an ordinary king. But
that king is to be given an imperial title
In addition to his other designations a
bill now in parliament makes him ''king
of British dominions beyond the seas
The title has an impressive sound, and
when added to Emperor of India,'' ''De-
fender of the Faith" and few like felici-
tous and sonorous phrases, ought to sat
isfy the most jingoistic Greater Britain

A GOOD BUSINESS YEAR

The northwest will not only have good
crop Of wheat, but it is well distributed
Every locality has some wheat. Some sec
have been no failures over any consider
able area. This, of course, is much more
favorable for general business than if the
crop had been large in some sections and
failure in others, as was the case last
year,
This indicates a good business year. All
sections will have something to sell and
trade will be more evenly distributed on
that account.

Some day strong and able man will
come along and win fame by undertaking
the redemption of Montana. Sooner or
later there must rise in that state pub
lie sentiment which, loathing the cor
ruption Of the legislature, the depravity Of
politics, the dishonor Of judges and the
oligarchy of money, will sustain the man
who will lead campaign Of reformation.
The good people of Montana cannot longer
afford the reputation the state now has.

The Austrian manufacturers have just
received their final blow, the coup-de-
grace, from American competitors. For
want, in India and far Japan, the Austrian
tack has dominated the market for that
small but exceedingly useful article.
American manufacturers, says Charles
Bailey Hurst American consul at Vienna,
now offer them at price that almost
excludes further business in that line
for Austria. The American peril ad-
vances upon poor Austria! To the rescue,
Goluchowski, ere your people perish!

IN THE HIGHWAY

Two men gazed at the self-same star
That cleaned out through the night;
One saw wondrous world afar,
One saw a point Of light.
The wind blew through the swaying trees
And stirred the grasses there:
Ana one heard wondrous melodies,
One but the swish of air.
And one of them was rich and proud,
Whom people served for bread,
And one pale-featured, whom the crowd

be expected to lose no time-not an hour

the public expectation and make all pos

Grave Republican, Responsibility.
Philadelphia Press.

FnIIaueIphla Press.
The republican party cannot count on odds
In its favor In 1904. It's record must be as
good on the issues of the day as on those
of the past. The demand for the adequate
taxation and regulation of trusts must be
fully met. No suspicion must exist of cor
porate control within the party. Exactly as
the republican party has solved the bank
problem, the currency problem and the rail-
road problem, so that in all this federal
control commands public confidence, so it
must meet the problem presented by the
trusfs

They are similar to those other ideas of
his regarding the relation of the Omaha
to the North Western system. The suave
lawyer should get out that geometry he
studied when a boy and learn that a
straight line is the shortest path between
two points and that two sides of a trian-
gle are longer than one. The judge might
with profit go into the attic, take down
the mental arithmetic of his childhood
and do a few sums. After he has posted
up bit he may try to prove" the fol-
lowing easy examples:
Merriam Junction to Minneapolis,
Twenty-Seven Miles.
Merriam Junction to St. Paul,
Thirty-fOur Miles.
St. Paul to Minneapolis, Ten
Ten Miles.
Merriam Junction to Minneapolis,
via st. Paul, FOrty-fOur Miles.
Merriam junction to Minneapolis.
via Omaha's Leased Line, Twenty
seven Miles.
Minneapolis to ST. Paul, Ten
Miles.
Merriam Junction to ST. Paul,
via minneapolis, Thirty-seven Miles.
If the judge should prove a really bright
student he will easily follow these deduc-
tions from the above
What the judge describes as ''out of their
way'-that is, to run trains to Minneapolis
FIRST and then to st. Paul-is seven miles
shorter than his "direct" way-from Merriam
Junction to Minneapolis via st. Paul.
1t is seventeen miles farther from Merriam
Junction to Minneapolis by way Of ST. Paul
than from Merriam Junction directly to Min
neapolis.
1t is only three miles farther from Merriam
junction to St. Paul via Minneapolis than
from the junction to St. Paul directly
When it is remembered that the Omaha
has long lease of this Merriam juno
tion line to Minneapolis, and that it actu-
ally hauls freight over it now, it becomes
impossible for any one not afflicted with
that obscurity Of vision which so troubles
the Omaha officials, to declare that Min
neapolis' demand for what the geography
OF the situation entities it to is not just.
They have not, and say they will not,
do anything to make it possible for their
Sioux City division west Of Merriam juno
out Of Minneapolis, which is seven miles
nearer to them than to st. Paul, without
travelling seventeen miles farther than by
the direct railroad connection controlled
by the Omoha.
This unreasonable attitude is an out
rage both on Minneapolis and travellers
whose destination is Minneapolis. Those
seventeen miles mean two hours wasted
in every round trip by those who have to
come to Minneapolis anyway, and it COM
pels many others to refrain from visiting
Minneapolis, which, we repeat, is seven
miles nearer to all points on the Omaha s
Sioux City division west of Merriam juno
tion than is st. Paul
Whatever may be said Of other requests
made by Minneapolis, the one for direct
train service cannot be disputed by any
fair-minded person (this excludes the
Omaha oficials). A city that is so delib-
erately injured, even insuIted, by rail-
road which pays dividends through its
patronage, is justified in taking the most
extreme measures to force concessions or
to punish an avowed enemy. The Omaha
may yet learn that the ''whims' of even
zone city" are deserving of respectful
consideration.

Southern Suffrage Legislation.
New Orleans Times-Democrat

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Perhaps it is wise for the several southern
states to vary their suffrage laws so greatly,
for then decision of the courts in one
case will not affect the others, the condi-
tions being so different. At the same time we
believe 1t would save worry and vexation
If some general plan Of suffrage could be
agreed on in the southern states where, be-
cause of the large number OF illiterate
negroes, II is desired to cut down their vote
as much as possible

A New Atheism.

Rev. G. Campbell Morgan preached his first
sermon in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church. and commented on the reports con-
corning small church attendance. 81 am told
that all the people In Brooklyn and New York
are away" he said. when in Brooklyn two
weeks ago 1 was told that this church was
closed, that half OF those in the city had
been shut up, because the people were away
/ tell you this is lie. On Sunday evenings
thousands OF people sit on their doorsteps and
on the benches in the parks. The trouble is
that there is a new atheism abroad, strange
and subtle. Let it go no further. or It will
work your own destruction"

"THE WHIMs OF ONE CITY"

Judge Wilson, the attorney of the Oma-

way to satisfy the whims of one city"

object Lesson in Coal Prices,
Cleveland Leader,

Trust promoters may talk all they please
about the benign effects Of business monopo-
lies, but few men of ordinary sense In the
United States doubt that the sharp rise in the
price Of hard coal which has been decided
upon, to take effect in midsummer can be
charged to the understanding among gentle
men, which stiles competition in anthracite
coal mining One such object lesson is more
weighty than unlimited theorizing.

To Keep the Irish at Home
Michael Davitt, the Irish agitator, who
landed here yesterday, will join with Bishop
Scalabrini in. investigating the two important
factors Of immigration to the United Statea
the Irish and the Italian. 1.-The most impor-
tant problem in Ireland to-day is its emigra-
tion TO America" says Mr. Davitt. This
country has too many Irish. 1t is safe to say
that 10000 of our people come here every
year. You are draining US Of our population
IN 1916 Ireland had population Of 5000 900;
now she has barely 100000" This new
movement to keep the Irish at home was
started by a sermon delivered by Archbishop
Keane Of Dubuque, Iowa, at the dedication
of the cathedral in his native town, Letter
kenny, Ireland, last month. This is MT.
Davitt's eighteenth trip to America He says
that he will be here two months, and during
that time he will speak before Irish societies
in eight or ten Of the large cities He will
address no gathering before the large one
announced at Chicago on Aug. Is. Mr.. Davitt
says that he will make his greatest appeal
for curtailing OF Irish immigration when ne
speaks at Boston.

A TRUE AND UPRIGHT MAN

When the people of Florence
awoke this morning and can e
down town it was to be met with
the startling announcement that
J. NJ. Hanks was dead. The news
came with a shock for very few
knew that he had been i'll
Death occurred at midnight at
the hospital in Canon. Last Mon
day he became i'll with what ap-
peared to be an attack of indiges-
ton. 1t later developed that the
patient WAS suffering from appen-
dicitis and an operation was adj
vised. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hanks
were averse to this however. Late
last evening, however, the physi-
clans informed him that he could
dot live until morning, and Mrs.
Hanks begged for an operation.
he Phg oiSiuuS NoioVuASb dut dd-
vised his removal to the hospi-
tai for that purpose. When he
arrived there the pulse had ceased,
he was unconscious, and in few
moments all that remained of j.
M Hanks was the cold and lifeless
clay.
Deceased was born in Quincy,
Illinois, and at the time of his
death was 81 years of age. He
came from the old Hanks stock of
the Lincoln family, md he was
always a republican of the Lincoln
type.
For twenty-five years Mr.. Hanks
had been resident of Colorado,
the last sixteen of which was
spent in Florence For several
years he WAS a justice of the peace
in the San Juan country and he
served a term rs postmaster at
Silverton. He then removed TO
Canon City and shortly afterward
became a resident of Florence
After coming to Florence he
was elected to the office of county
surveyor. For ten years he acted
as confidential secretary to Hon.
James A McCaudless, and only
resigned that position two years
ago when he was elected to the
office of county superintendent of
schools the durirs of which he
performed faithfully and well up
to the time of his demise
We presume that in this day
and age the highest tribute that
could be paid to the deceased
would be to say } M Hanks was
an honest man HIS integrity and
his veracity were never questioned.
he was upright IN ALI his dealings
and he never went back on a
friend

aged mother and three sisters, all

the dead.

cording to the ritualistic services

vices will be held at the Presby-

But oat hay it where the Salt River valley shines. Mention was made a day or two ago of a sample of oats brought into the board of trade. Yesterday MT. Austin Starkweather who is farming quarter-section belonging to T. K. Elvey, and which for private reasons he has been trying to dispose of, yes- terday brought him in a bunch of oats that was really surprising. The straw measured seven feet and one inch in length. and off a little distance looks more like bamboo poles than like oat straw. Still it Is tender and nutritious and makes just as good hay as the little weakly straw that grows in some countries where oat hay is made a speciality.
