children took whooping cough last
summer, our baby boy being only
three months old, but owing to our

The Trusts.

The defense of trusts, on the as
sumption that they are necessary to
the existence of business, to the pro-
motion of industry, is wholly illogical.
There is widespread complaint of
these combinations because they are
doing incalculable harm in various
ways. That the popular feeling
against the trusts in al parts of the
country is very strong there is album
dant evidence. This opposition tg
not confined to those who merely cry
out against unpleasant conditions,
without stopping to inquire carefully
who is responsible for them. 1T is
fully shared by the most careful stu
dents of economic law and tenden-
cies.-Louisville Courier Journal.

Secretary Shaw's Queer Doc
fYine,

Secretary Shaw's doctrine Of rota-
ton in Office might have standing as a
measure of party expediency. Tt is
hopelessly absurd as a rule of practi-
cal business.
A bank directorate which should
change its working staff every five
years, on the ground that tellers,
cashiers and bookkeepers "outlive
their official usefulness" in that time,
would be regarded as cranky, and
would destroy the standing and bust
ness of the bank. Yet it would &C.
cupy position as sound and logical
as that of the secretary Of the treas
ury, who makes five year limit for
government employees.
There is no more routine about the
conduct of public than of private
concerns. There is at least no less
call for the services of trained, e1
pcrienced and competent men who
are not disturbed by the thought thai
the eccentric conceit of one over then
in authority or the demand of aspoils
monger for place may at any time
put them out.

The scientists are the scouts on the

to the prairies, and when the new
ground is thoroughly explored comes
the mass of mankind to make a new
starting point for the never ending
march OF progress. Chicago American

THE TARIFF REFORM ISSUE.
One That Should BE Pressed by the
Democracy with Vigor and
RESPONSIVENESS.

One of the most significant devel-
opments bearing upon the issue of
tariff reform as that issue is being
pressed by the national democracy
is the fact of increasing republican
Impotence with the radical minority
of that party which insists upon the
view that the Dingley tariff is too sa-
cred to be changed in the slightest
degree.
There are now but two or three
republican organs in the United
States which stubbornly forbid their
party to entertain any other view
save that which absolutely prohibits
tariff reduction, says the st. Louis
Republic. The majority sentiment of
the republican party is against this
radicalism of spirit. The late Presi-
dent Mckinley saw plainly that tar
iff revision was inevitable. Himself
the apostle of protection, he clearly
sounded to his party the note OF
tariff reform. To his utterances as
much as to any other one influence
is due the fact that the republican
majority is to-day contemplating an
abandonment of the Dingley tariff.
From the republican standpoint,
the embarrassment of the existing
situation is found in the difficulty
of making a graceful retreat from
the high tariff citadel. The extreme
high protectionists contend that this
retreat means surrender of the
whole republican position on the tar
iff issue. THIS argument is having
its effect. Uncertainty of purpose,
accompanied by an apprehension
which amounts almost to dismay, is
apparent in republican movements.
The near approach of the congress
sionat ea4nisHfgns seems to add to the
republican eanfusion. Whatever is
to be done by that party with re-
gard 10 the tariff issue must be done
quickly. And the party is not pre-
pared to act quickly.
The national democracy must press
the issue of tariff reform with all
she vigor and aggressiveness possible
TO a harmonious party spirit and an
excellent Organization. Upon the
democratic party fails .he duty of
arousing the people to full realiza-
ton of the bunlso nature of high pro-
lection which protects manufacture
ers who ata selling their manufac-
tured products ct,ea4er in Europe
than in this country, thereby l,nder-
selling the European competitors
against whom the Dingley tariff is
supposed to afford them needed
projections The time is near when
the protection Issue must be settled
from the peoples viewpoint, not from
that of the protected trusts. Yhe
democratic party must bring about
THIS settlement.

FEDERAL AID COMING.
National Government May Soon Take
Hand in Promoting Building
of Good Roads.

While the good roads movement
has yielded tangible and practical re-
suits in few states the necessity
OF federal aid and cooperation in the
building of state highways has long
been recognized. The fact that each
state concerns itself with it's own
rural highways does not destroy the
enterprise, for these highways, to be
OF permanent value must not only
reach across state boundary lines in
many instances but must ultimately
form parts of a great connected in
terstate system of country roads.
Its close and vital relation to in
terstate commerce therefore makes
the good roads movement question
of as much national interest as the
improvement of rivers and harbors,
for which congress has appropriated,
since the establishment of the gov-
ernmcnt, nearly half billion dollars.
Ii the millions that have been ex-
pended in the Improvement" of an
heard-of creeks and boys to further
the interests of rural congressman
had been expended in the building of
Interstate country highways the benz
eft to commerce and to agriculture
would have been far greater.
To secure action that will lead to
the adoption of definite and prac-
tical national policy in this direction
is the purpose of the bill now pend.
ing in congress, introduced by Repre-.
sentative Beidler, of Ohio. 1t provides
for the assembling of convention
representing the war department,
post Office department, agricultural
department, interior department of
the federal government, as well as
every state and territory in the
union. AS this assembly will natu.
rally be largely composed of good
roads experts it is expected that it
will be able to formulate legislative
recommendations to congress looking
to national aid that will be practical
and that will form the basis for a ma.
tional policy upon which the federal
government can enter actively
and aggressively.-Chicago Record.

Debts That Must BE Paid.

The up-to-date farmer pays his
debts. One,of the debts which he does
not forget is the one he owes to the
soil. He knows that each crop which
the soil yields takes from it some
thing of its fertility, and that, unless
this fertility is returned to the soil, it
soon can yield only diminished crop.
So he is very careful, year by year, to
pay back to his land that fertility
which the crops have taken from it..
He will keep his hired help all the
year, and year after year, for the
longer they are kept in his employ the
more valuable they are to him.-Jo.

Wire Fence Telephoncs.

We have a telephone line six miles
long, using a wire on fences. To
cross highways we raise the wire on
poles high enough to serve the pur-
pose. 1nsulators must be used, 12O to
the mile we use, and they cost one cent
each. We have had no trouble with
breaking of wires by climbing fences,
but we post notices along warming
people not to do any damage. Each
farmer inspects the line on his own
farm occasionally, to see that every
thing is all right. We started with
secondhand phones that cost eight
dollars each, but now buy new ones
for $12. With new phones and fence
wire it costs about $3.50 to install a
phone in the house, and it will cost
about so cents year for maintenance.
We expect to have much more line
by fall.-Farm, Stock and Home.

Why Reciprocity Failed,

Stung by the protests Of his con-
stituents against his course in oppos-
ing reciprocity with Cuba, Senator
Burton, of Kansas, thus defends him
self in a speech at his home:
1 deny that the beet sugar senators
were in the minority. If any one
says anything else he falsities. II
thirty-tive republican senators had
come to us and said, 1--WE are going
to pass that BILL" they could have
done so. They never came to us with
such q declaration. On the other
hand, they came and encouraged us
to keep up the fight. There are not
fifteen republican senators out of the
tifty-four who are in favor of the
present bill at heart. Beet sugar is a
republican question by authority.
This bold revelation of the true in
wardness of the situation in the SEN
ate shows why reciprocity failed. 1t
is likewise striking confirmation of
the "true word spoken in jest" by
the Worlds Washington correspond
ent in his famous serio comic drama,
Reciprocity Routed; the Tragedy Of
the White House." published in the
World of June "a.
After reciting the Presidents mes
sages, appeals and ultimatums in sup
port of justice to Cuba the voracious
dramatic histories made the President
say to Senatorial visitor:
iAnd my feaders-what of Aldrich
and Hanna and Spooner and Allison?
Can they not force this through?
They have neyer~failed BEFORE"
''Son" said the sad Senator, rising
and putting his hand on the Presi-
dents touseled hair, ''you are young
in politics. You have much to learn.
Has it never occurred to you that per-
haps they didaa t rant to scia this fight
perhaps they had no desire to force it
through.?"
A great light seemed to illumine
the room.
Then came the short and sad clos
ing scene:
81 shall do nothing further at this
time to secure reciprocity for Cuba. :"
said the President early the next day.
Senator Burton's disclosures of a
Republican majority in the Senate against
Justice to Cuba through fear of the
Sugar Trust and favor to the beet-su-
gar baby shows the accuracy Of The
World information. 1t is now entire
ly clear why reciprocity failed.-Ner
