THE HMERlGAN FREEMAN.

An examination of the "full dinner
pail' that the Republican leaders
claim to be providing for the wealth
makers of the country, reveals some
highly interesting facts. The free
born citizen gets up these mornings
when the frosty dew is on the grass
and sees himself reflected in trust
made looking glass. A trust confronts
the soap he finds upon the wash stand,
and through the favor of some trust
he takes his comb in hand.
His shoes, suspenders, shirt and
socks the buttons on his coat, his
handkerCniefs, his necktie, and the
collar round his throat all come from
factories that trusts permit to operate
and a trust also allows him to have
a little coal to put in his stove or
crate.
BY yielding to the sugar trust he
makes his coffee sweet, by bowing to
the beef trust he may have steak to
eat; the cracker trust, the -four trust.
the coffee trust, likewise take tribute
from the man who boasts bofore all
the world that he is the freest on
earth.
He rises from the table which the
lumber and furniture trusts leave IN
his care, and on the trust-made hall
tree finds a trust made hat to wear.
Now. see the free born citizen mount
a trust made bicycle and ride to his
daily toll.
He sits before a trust made desk,
or handles a trust-made piece of steel
with a trust made tool-and being
free and equal in nine cases out Of &
dozen he tolls for trust all day. Al
night if he lives in a large city, 6
trust provides his light, and when
tits prayer time the American sover-
eign deyoutly kneels beside a trust
made bed.
Thus all his trusts bound up il
trusts that treat him as they please
He lives through favor of the trusts
to them he bends his knees or he will
be blacklisted. When he dies he
will be encasd in a trust made
coffin; but let us hope that his sub
lime trust in One will watt him to
the skies and give him glory there.
The trusts are possible because OF
the protective tariff, and President
Roosevelt wants the tariff revised by
its friends"

What of it? The rich man who
spends his money can be ranked as
somewhat of public benefactor. He
may not care a tinkers dam for the
public His heart may not contain an
atom of sympathy for poverty and
misery. He may even put every dollar
Of his income into personal gratifica-
tion and selfish pleasure. But he gets
it into circulation. 1t doesn't go far
before it is exchanged for honest toll.
becomes the spur for endeavor; the
price for ambition.
The idle dollar, locked UP in a vault,
represents greed and selfishness. The
money, that moves and travels; that
never rests; that is in the rich mans
pocket today and in the poor mans
pay envelope tomorrow is the measure
of prosperity Mr. Schwab may be
wasting his fortune so far as he is
personally coocerned, but the public is
the gamer. The intresests of the masses
must always be of vastly greater
moment than those of one or doz-
en- millonaires. Let him plunge.

Noises In Your Chest.

The doctor hears some curious noises
when he places the stethoscope against
your chest. When the lungs are in a
healthy condition. the medical gentle
man hears pleasant, breezy sound,
soft in tone, as you draw in the breath
and expel it. Should the instrument
convey to his ear Il gurgling or bub-
bling sound he makes a mental EaAe of
the fact that you are in what is known
as the moist stage of bronchitis In
the dry stage Of the same complaint
the sound is a whistling. wheezy one.
One of the signs of pneumonia is the
cracking note that comes through the
stethoscope. 1t is not unlike the sound
that can be heard when your finger
and thumb have touched a sticky sub
stance and you first place them to-
gether and then part them, holding
them close to your ear.
Doctors occasionally hear a dripping
sound, and that indicates that air and
Wsaer have got into some part of the
chest where they have no right to be-
Blow across bottle, and you will pro-
duce a sound which is actually to be
heard in your chest. 1t is caused in
the same way-that is, by air passing
over a cavity.

girl born within their bounds, or that
come to them from surrounding farms
or ranches. Until the Anglo Saxon
village is brought up to the Latin
or German standard, village dreariness
will no doubt remain a distemper
that will affiict and finally drive away
many boy and girl from a pleasant
home to an attic or at least cramped
quarters in a city. The social prob
lem involved cuts very deep, with no
cure in plain sight.

The convention that will be sum-
moned to frame constitution for the
State of Arizona should be non-par-
tisan body. The people should select
their ablest and best men irrespective
of party. Arizona is not a. confeder-
alton of counties, bur a political unit,
and it makes little difference wheth-
er one county has slight advantage
over another in the apportionment OF
delegates.

In free trade England the industrial
combinations called trusts afford little
cause for complaint, for the moment
any of them should undertake to raise
prices above the normal level, for
eign competitors would flow in to re-
dress the balance in favor Of British
consumers. In the United States, on
the other hand, the tariff enables the
trusts to plunder consumers by ward
ing off competition.

A WITTY ReDIy.

At a London dinner General Horace
Porter was once referred to by the
chairman in the following way: 1--WE
have here tonight General Horace Por-
ter, and | call upon him for speech.
The gentleman is like slot machine
you put in a dinner, and out comes a
speech" The witty general rose and
replied with quick fire of satire: ''The
chairman has thought fit to liken me
to a slot machine May | return the
compliment and say that he is like
one also? He puts in speech, and
up comes your dinner"

EXTENT OF TRUST CONTROL.

The Hon. Charles Emory Smith, late
Postmaster General of the United
States, and now back at his old job of
editing the Philadelphia Press, told a
Baltimore audience engaged in cele-
brating a Republican victory few
nights ago that there were only 1856
trusts or combinations, employing al
together only about 100000 wage
earners.
Mr.. Smiths authority was the cen
sus of 1900, taken two years and half
ago. So alert a newspaper man as Mr..
Smith. does not often use figures that
in no way cover the facts of today.
Mr.. John Moody, publisher of the
Manual of Corporation Securities, a
standard reference book with no poll
tical bias, gives list of 287 industrial
trusts actually incorporated. This list
does not include unincorporated COM
bines, many of which are among the
largest and most oppressive monop-
| olies.
The anthracite coal t1tlst, for in
stance, is not in Mr.. Moody's list,
though it employs 10000 men and alb
solutely controls the supply and price
of hard coal. Neither are the great
railroad mergers and pools, though
they fix freight rates, and by discrim-
mating charges are really the most
potent combines and partners of other
combines.
Mr.. Smiths 100000 wage earners de
pendent upon trusts, combines and
monopolies of one kind or another
may be safely multiplied by ten and
and still be well within the mark.

Even in this day of tremendous un-
dertakings there is cause for aston
ishment at the plans of President Har-
riman's surveyors for a tunnel route
for the Central Pacific railroad
through the Sierra Nevada. The route
laid out, it is said, provides for a
tunnel $4,000 feet long, Or nearly sew
en- miles The estimated cost is $14,-
100000. 1t will cut down the summit
grade 1900 feet, and enable the COM
,pany to get rio of all but three miles
of the forty-two miles of snowsheds.
The proposed tunnel will pierce the
mountain at an elevation of about $500
feet. The tunnel is part of Hartman S

Newspaper Expenses and Profits.

Kansas City Star. N
The recent census bulletin on Printing

fact that the great newspaper develop
ment of the last decade has resulted IN
an important gain to the nublic at the ex-
pense Of the publishers. In the words OF
Mr. w. 8. Rossitef, expert agent Of the
Census Bureau: AT the close OF tpe qe-
cade the daily newspaper was more OF
public institution than ever before, De-
cause 1t sacrifices an Increased snare OF
ing no compromising financial return from
either purchaser or advertiser.
This Is a phase of the newspaper busi-
ness that the public finds difficult TO UNI
derstand. Because the size of the city
newspaper, has increased because 1t car
ries more advertising than a decade ago
and because its circulation has steadiiy
risen. people jump at the conclusion that
it must be making excessive profits. They
fail to take into account the enormous
increase Of expense involved in this de-
velopment. The elaborate news service OF
today is possible only through lavish ex-
spondent's salaries American newspa-
pers gave six lines to the battle of Maui
ba Hin two decades ago, while they gave
columns to accounts Of the recent battles

"confronts the necessity Of securing from

white paper occupied threatens to exceed
the return from the advertiser.
The impression that the returns from
advertising have kept pace with the
newspaners' increased expenses Mr.. Rds-
sitter finds incorrect. Advertising in the
decade, he says, shows no marked in

did not compensate for the multitude OF
smaller retailers whom 1t supplanted."
AS an illustration of the financial con-
dition of newspapers in the decade, the
Philadelphia Record. Its proportion Of
e. penditure for news gathering rose from
