ated with algebra that they cannot
wait until $3.50 to begin their pleas
ures. Consequently they meet at

compelled to miss. 1t is needless to
say that we all greatly envy them.

dreams are quite frequent in some of
the classes. One boy tells the fol-
lowing tale. "I had passed away: ]

Suddenly I was started by stern
voice which said Can you explain

That Antitrust Amendment.

From the Commoner.
A reader asks whether it is
true that the republicans have
proposed a constitutional
amendment on the trust ques.
ton? Yes. Just before the
campaign of 1900 they propos.
ed a constitutional amendment
ostensibly for the purpose of
destroying the trusts. but real.
ly for the purpose of taking
from the states the power whic h
they now have The democrats
opposed the amendment be,
cause it was in the interests of
the trusts rather than against
them. They joined, however,
in an antitrust bill proposed
by the republicans Immediately
afterwards, but when the cleo.
tion was over the bill died in
the senate. If the republicans
in the senate would not pass an
antitrust bill which was sup.
ported almost unanimously in
the house, what reason is there
to believe that they would fav,
or any amendment to the con,
stitution that was really in

We agree with 4 sensible ex-
change that pointedly and
truthfully observes: That
there never was a newspaper
published iE any locality that
gave all the local news. 1t is
often that some people come
and go that the reporters do
not see or even hear of. 1t
may be thai he same family is
missed sever" times, and they
get the impression that the pa.
pers don't care to mention
hem. 1t is a mistake. The
ale paper has no i'll feeling,
nifty nor spite against any
oue so do not be afraid to tell
the reporters when you have
returned from a trip or are con
templating a visit. If YOU
think the paper shows partial
ity. try to sc if 1t does not
treat you as well if you give it
