FOUGHT TRUST AND WON.

In a letter to the Omaha Bee from
Solomon, Kansas, the story Is told Of
how by the cooperation OF the farmers
an elevator syndicate was made TO va
cate the field For two years the syn
dictate had kept the price Of wheat in
that locality "A cents below that at
Kansas City. In vain the farmers at
tempted relief through legislation, and
then they organized their cooperative
association. and put competent men in
charge Of their common interests.
As soon as the farmers elevator
opened, 80 per cent Of the wheat mar
keted at Solomon was deposited there,
while the syndicate elevators received
less than 10 per cent, The farmers
elevator paid 81 cents a bushel, four
cents more than the syndicate Then
the trust offered IS cents bushel The
cooperating farmers, however. had an
agreement that they should be at lib
erty to sell their wheat wherever they
wanted, provided they contributed one
cent bushe to their own elevator on
wheat sold elsewhere. The effect Of
this was decisive. The farmers went
to the syndicate and received SO cents
for their wheat They paid one cent
10 their own association. and still net
ted good price above the actual mar
ket value. For several days the syn
dictate not only bought wheat at a loss
but virtually paid a profit to the peo-
pies institution, which 1t was trying
TO drive from the field. In less than
three weeks the syndicate gave up the
fight, locked its elevator and withdrew
It's agent from that field. Is there not
in this story a hint to the people ey-
erywhere, that intelligent cooperation
il the best remedy against obnoxious
combinations against popular interests?

The news Of the transfer OF the Salt
Lake Tribune to other hands than
those that have manipulated 1t for so
many years, VIII cause the public to
exclaim, This is so student" The old
proprietors are to be congratulated on
the profitable conclusion Of their finan-
cial enterprise, and the new manage

influence in this region, through the
medium Of an up-to-date popular jour

greet to the many admirers Of the ven
cradle editor OF the Tribune, that its
columns viii no longer be graced by
the brilliant sentences that flowed
from his fertile pen. And the friends
Of the vigorous manager will wonder
what new field he viii find for his ever
active energies. The News" wishes
rest and prosperity to the departing
workers. and profit and success to the
new hands. that win take up the re-
sponsiblllty OF usherng in what we re.

Is ARBITRATION TOO LATE =?

Appeals are being made, II seems, 10
President Roosevelt to do something in
behalf Of the Beers. One suggestion
Is that our government in some mild
way protest against the manner In
which the war Is conducted by Lord
Kitchener. It should be evident. how
ever. that the methods OF warfare are
beyond official criticism. whatever prl-
yote opinion may hold as to that The
experience Of the allied nations during

has had It's peculiar features before
which civilization must blush. When
a war Il admitted 70 be justified, the
world must Of necessity close IT'S eyes
to a great many horrors that are I'M
ayoidable.
But there is one thing neutral gov
ernments with sufficient influence could
DO in the present conflict. II they chose
to be governed by the agreements Of
the Hague convention. They could
sound the British government az TO the
possibility Of submitting the unfortu-

the past six months shown by

indicate a condition In the iron
trade which is not only without prece-

believed that by the end OF the year
the boom" would have passed and a
period OF reaction set in which might
carry the pendulum the full length

Well, the year is in its last quarter

realized. Indeed there Is now talk In

prising than that through which we

mediation even during the course OF
hostilities. The exercise Of this right
can never be considered by either OF
the disputing parties as an unfriendy
act" Under this agreement. the Unit
ed States. either alone. or conformity
with other powers could very properly
breach the subject Of arbitration with
out giving oflense and without finding
itself IN any way in an embarrassed
position.
1t is true Great Britain has
from the first claimed suzerainty
over the Transyaal and might properly
point out that the Hague convention
never was attended to cover disputes
between sovereign states and Deepen
denotes, but that objection does not
hold good as to what was, at the begin
ming OF the conflict, the Orange Free
State. OF course that principally has
now by proclamation been declared a
British colony, but as long as 1t has not
been generally recognized as such, ana
as long as it has armies in the field and
a government Of its own, such as 1t is,
that point could be waived ia the in
terest OF civilization and peace, par
tlcularly as It takes more than a pro-
clamation to actually annex an inde.
pendent state.
We believe an effort at the establish
ment Of peace on honorable terms
would meet with the approval Of q
large part Of the British people too
And an easy way Of approaching that
goal would be through the discreet
suggestions Of friendly neutral pow
er. Great Britain cannot be expected
TO take the initiative. But she might
be willing TO change policy whenever
that can be done without humiliation
