AN OBJECT LESSON.

What may be expected by the peo-
pie when trusts generally get the upper
hand of them, as the Steel trust al
ready has done, may be seen by the
following statement, recently publisli-,
ed in the New York Sun.
'"The syndicate headed by John G..
Coombs, of Boston, which Is TO build
the Omaha Northern railroad from
Sioux City to Omaha, will, it is an
nounced, be compelled to buy its steel
rails in Europe because of the refusal
of the Steel trust to sell rails without
knowing the significance of the rail-
road.
"a buyer for the railroad wrote to
six houses owned by the United
States Steel corporation, asking quo
tations on 0,40O tons of steel rails or
enough to build seventy miles Of rail
road. Five of the houses replied thai
the quotation could not be made until
it was known who the purchaser was
and what was his project. The sixth
house gave quotation, but another
letter came the next day withdra wing
the quotation and stating that none
could be made till the real interest be-
hind the road was made known.
"The Omaha Northern expressed its
intention to pay cash f. o. B. at Chi
cago. ,t
"The promoters of the railroad have
concluded that the Steel trust will not
allow the building Of n road that will
conflict with the allied railroad In.
terests and have abandoned the effort
to buy rails In America. Quotations
have been asked from steel manufac-
turers in Great Britain, Belgium and
Germany"
Here we have this situation: as a
pretense of protecting the home mar
ket against the "pauper labor of
Europe," bounty in the shape of
tariff duties is paid to the Steel cor.
poration to enable 1t to manufacture
rails here and so give employment to
the American workingman. But as
soon as this American workingman's
work Is likely to interfere with Mr.
]. p, Morgan's railroad combine, he
is not allowed to furnish at all, and
the would-be purchaser Is compelled
to patronize that same "pauper labor
of Europe" Or else go without thu
commodity thnt he wants.
Was Havemeyer right when he said
the tariff is the mother of all the
trusts? Sure.

I'm GOD WE TRUST" BUT THE
DEVIL Is TO PAY.

The President having returned from
his tour through the Sonth, and being
tired out with his fighting the wind
mills Of trusts with his mythical
weapons of longdistnnce effects, at
once sent for his trained nurse, Mark
Hanna, to come to Oyster Bay to
comfort and hearten him.
1t must make Roosevelt feel like
the typical 30 cents to meet Hanna,
after all his long-range talk about
trust evils. For Hanna says there are
no trusts.
In order to get braced up for this
trust-no-trust meeting at Oyster Bay,
Hanna stopped by the wayside at New
York, and partook of the frugal hospi-
tally OF Mr.. Clement A. Grlscom, the
president of the international Navi-
cation company, which Is the other
name for the steamship trust,--or, to
be more exact about it,-these two
WORTHLESS of trust and notrust met on
the yacht of Mr.. Grlscom,
Now this man Grlscom is so poor
that he has bill before Congress ask
Ing for little subsidy of nine mil
lions year for term of years, to be
levied upon the people Of the country,
and Hanna Is the champion of the
measure in the Senate.
The man Of no trusts, having been
refreshed at the board of the one who
thinks the people ought to be taxed for
the support of things which his guest
says do not exist, kept OH his shining
way to the Oyster Bay home of the
man who has been fighting trusts for
tho past few weeks with all his
mouth.
1t Is understood that the President
has thus sought the counsel of Mr.,
No-Trust Hanna as to the best means
or replenlshipg his ammunition wa
gons with antitrust missiles that are
guaranteed not to hit for use In his
coming Western trip.
II Is said that Hanna will advise
him to advocate constitutional
amendment, allowing Congress to pass
law-to be effective on the 30th OF
some February, or at the Greek
Kalends, PEI mitting the President tc
charge on the trusts at the head OF q
squadron of horse-marines.
This idea Of constitutional amend
ment is not patented 1t lacks the ele
ment Of novelty, and seems to have
been borrowed from the physician
who said he did not know what allet
his patient, but that he could cur,
him II he could only first throw him
into fit; because he was hi on fits

NEXT MORNING PHILOSOPHER,

Greed is the exaggerated form Of
thrift
The clam has no ill-chosen remarks
to answer for.
Indecision is the reef on which enter
prise is wrecked.
The man who is his own conscience
keeper knows where to find it at the
right moment.
People who persist in voting for a
given policy have no right to complain
when it Is being enforced.
Many people in blaming others for
their shortcomings are apt to throw
in their own for good measure.
If there were neither debtors nor
creditors in this world, by far the
largest part Of, its troubles would be
eliminated
The public judgment is generally
right in the end, but it takes SO long
to reach It, and the end often comes
too late to be benificial.

If PA COULD BE A BOY.

I've often heard my papa say
He wisht he was boy;
That life would be one grand sweet
song,
With nuthin' left but JOY.
If that is what he really thinks,
wish he'd take try,
An if he had to keep it up
bet that pa would die.
He couldn't wallow round in bed
Till it was after eight,
An then get up as mad as hops
Cause ma had called him late.
He couldn't spit the coffee out
An call it pizoned slush,
An say the eggs weren't fit to eat,
An ask who burnt the mush.
Fer If he tried such things as these
Mad yank him by the hair,
An fix him so he'd rather stand
Than sit upon chair.
He couldn't come home late at night
| An then begin to scold
Because he'd made us wait so long
! The grub had gotten cold
He couldn't shove his plate away
| An say he warn't no hog;
He couldn't swear, he couldn't smoke,
He couldn't kick the dog.
He couldn't rush out to the club,
An have a little game,
An then come home in such a way
lie didn't know his name.
He couldn't knock off work mex day
An lie around in bed,
While ma cracked up great chunks of
| ice s--.
| An'packed 1t round his head.
If he could be boy again
think 1t might suit ma,
But you can bet your button boots
1t wouldn't do for pa!
