The donkey who edits the Salina

quoting republican officers denounc-
ing the declaration of Independence,
and says the Appeal does the denounc

that they fail to comprehend the sar-

an U. S. official who said the declara-

BEEF AND OTHER TRUSTS.

The remedy very generally advanced
las to the extortions of the beet trust
was that consumers should refrain from
meats and use poultry, eggs, fish, etc.
But it seems that, at least as regards
poultry and eggs, the beef trust has
made all its arrangements that the law
Of extortion should apply to them as
well as to dressed beef or beef on the
hoof. There is also heavy tariff tax
on poultry and eggs that helps the beef
trust on these articles, as it does on the
main product involved.

put TOM JOHNSON AT THE
FRONT.

With Tom L. johnson at the head of
! the democratic congressional campaign
committee, the capture of the next
house would be practically foregone
conclusion. He would put up such a
fight as the democrats haye never been
able to make. and he would put the re-
publicans on the defensive from the
word go. Mr.. johnson is by all odds
the best campaigner in the democratic
party. His hold upon the common peo-
pie is phenomenal. Mark Hanna, with
all his Vaccinations, is no match for
the doughty single-taxer. The whole
monopoly interest was combined against
him in his race for mayor, and yet he
carried republican Cleveland by a ma.
jority SO big that the republicans have
been dizzy ever since. Nor did he stop
at upsetting a big republican majority
in Cleveland. He went in hammer and
tongs with sing!e-tax legislative ticket
and elected every man on it in rock
ribbed Cuyahoga. 1t was the first time
in 40 years that the county had chosen
a democratic legislative delegation. Mr..
johnson does not depend on money or
on fnesse in winning victories. His re.
lance is solely on the strength of his
cause and his appeal lies to the enlight-
ened self.interest of the voters. He
puts his case plainly, and he wears no
gum shoes in seeking what he wants.
No one is permitted to be in any doubt,
either, about what he wants or how he
means to get it. And if he were put at
the head Of the democratic congression-
al campaign committee he would carry
practically every doubtful district in the
United States.-J ohnstown Democrat.

ls TO DISPLAY SIGNALS.
Plans on Foot Whereby Every
Township In the State Will Re-
CelVe the Service.

Doctor Chapel, forecast official in
charge of the Des Moines weather bu.
reau, is perfecting plans which it is ex.
pected will result, oy the end of the
year, in the display Of weather forecast
bulletins and signal flags in every town
ship in the state.
Rural mail delivery routes will assist
very materially in the work. Arrange.
ments were perfected some time ago by
which forecast cards are delivered each
day to every person residing on or re.
ceiving his mail over the rural delivery
routes and the local bureau is now send
ing out 5000, 900 forecasts of this char
acter each year. In addition to the
card service it has been arranged that
the carriers shall display the signal
flags from their mail wagons as they
pass through the country, and num-
ber of farmers along each Of the routes
have been supplied with sets Of signals,
instructions as to how to display them,
flag stats, etc., and have put the stats
up on their barns so that as soon as
they receive the forecast they display
the signals from the stats. To supple.
ment this service codes OF weather fore.
cast signals are being distributed broad
cast through the country so that per-
sons seeing the signals may be informed
as to their meaning.
Recently the work Of arranging with
telephone companies having rural sub.
scribers for the distribution Of forecasts
has been commenced and within the
next month it is expected Thousands of
forecasts will be distributed throughout
the state each day by telephone. The
bureau will telegraph the forecast as
soon as made each day to managers of
exchanges having rural subscribers who
will agree to send the forecast over their
lines to them. 1t is the plan of the bu.
reau to place itself in correspondence
with farmers who receive forecasts in
this manner with the purpose of induc-
ing them to make displays Of signal
flags after the same manner as farmers
residing along the rural routes. In ad-
dltion to this all postmasters who will
forward the names of rural patrons Of
their Office who receive their mail each
day will be supplied with card forecasts,
where the number is sufficient to war.
rant the sending of dispatch, and sig-
nails will be displayed by them.
1t is expected that with the extension
of the service in this manner practically
every community in the state will be
supplied with the forecasts each day

THE BEEF TRUSTS LOGICAL
TEACHING.

From New York comes the news an.
nouncement that, owing to the high
price Of beef, horse meat is being sold in
many instances to take its place. The
board of aldermen of that city have
passed resolution calling on the gov
ernment to restrain the beef trust from
maintaining the present prices for its
products.
This condition is assuredly typical
and illuminating development of the
operation Of the trust idea carried to
its logical conclusion. There is nc short
age of the meat supply sufficient to ac-
count for the increased cost. Consum.
ers are compelled to pay this increased
cost or go without meat, because the
beef trust has an absolute monopoly of
the market. There is no competition.
With consumers utterly at it's mercy
the beef trust is dealing with these con.
sumers mercilessly.
Surely the time has come when the
American people must face the trust
problem with determination upon its
final and definite settlement along lines
properly safeguarding the general good.
The resolution adopted by the New York
board of aldermen declares that Amerl-
can workingmeu are now being obliged
to deny themselves meat, thus losing
the energy which can be maintained
only by their customary food. This Of
fetal charge, be it remembered, is pre-.
ferred in a land of plenty, the trouble
being that the plenty is in the hands of
monopolists, who are Withholding it
from the people to whom it belongs of
right. The trusts are forcing very
ominous issue upon the American peo-
pie.
The republican party, which created
and fostered these monopolistic organi-
cations at the sacrifice of the peoples
rights, is owned body and soul by the
combines which it has created. No
honest or effective antitrust action is to
be expected from republicanism. The
democratic party must make the fight
in the peoples behalf. If the evil work
Ing in the trust system is to be remedied
the remedy must come from democratic
action. The duty of the democratic
party is plain, and has been accepted
with determination to reach results
1t is now for the people to say whether
that party shall be effectively empow-
cred to fight and overcome the trusts
and restore to the people the rights of
which they have been deprived by re-
publican surrender to the trust monopo-
lies.-St. Louis Republic.
