THE TRUST AS AN ISSUE.

The President is doing what he can
to deprive the Democratic party of
great issue in the coming presiden-
tial campaign-an issue of which he
is very much afraid. He is discuss
Ing trusts temporarily and is appar-
emily trying to be just to the trusts
and. the people. His view is that the
national government will have to su-
pervise and control trusts, and that
a constitutional amendment may be
necessary to enable it to do so.
But is the Presidents, party going
to be guided by him in the matter of
trusts? 1t is doubtful. 1t will become
apparent at the next session of Con-
gress whether it will or not If it
amends the antitrust law so as to
make it effective, or If, finding it neces-
sary, it submits to the states an
amendment to the constitution giving
Congress power to supervise and con-
troll trusts, then trusts will not be
very much of an issue in the next
presidential campaign, but if it does
none OF these things-and the chances
are that it will not do any of them
the probabilities are that the people
will flock to the standard of the DEM
ocratic party and give it possession
of the government
One of the tests that will be made
next winter that will show whether
or not the Republican party will do
anything to repreSs the evils that
are in trusts will be the movement
to SO revise the tariff that it will not
afford trusts the means to rob the peo-
pie. 1t is practically certain that the
Republican leaders will resist any at
tempt to disturb the tariff. And yet
there is no other way in which the
efforts of trusts to take advantage of
the people can be so effectively check
ed.
1t must be admitted that the Presi-
dent is showing himself to be an ex-
cellent politician. In fact, he is sur
prising some of those of his own party
who have been expressing the opinion
that he lacks Judgment and is too i'm
pulsive for successful campaign work
OF course he has only begun his
swing around the circle" and there
is plenty of time for him to make blum
ders.

Fate of the Wise Youth.

One of Memphis brightest young
men left on his vacation up North
some three weeks ago, says the Mem
phis Scimitar
Look out for the bunco steerers in
the big Cities" his friends advised
him. Don't form any new acuuaint-
ances on the cars or at the hotels.
Don't buy any gold bricks, and when
anybody offers to sell you any green
goods at tempting discount. avoid
him."
But such advice was not necessary
for the bright young man referred to
oh, I'm wise,' he assured his So
hcitous friends. They've got to get
up early to get ahead of Willie. When
ever anybody" and SO on, spoke the
young man, with look of almost
human intelligence.
Well, he went forth His vacation
is about at an end. He is due home
in a day or two. Maybe he won't ar
rive on time, for this morning his en-
ployer received a dispatch from him as
follows:

TIE STATE tax RATE.

The Governor and Controller Cen
eral have fixed the state tax rate at
$500 on the 81 900. Last year the rate
was $544. No doubt there wiYrbe much
satisfaction throughout the state over
the fact that in the opinion of these
two officials a less rate than was lev
led last year will yield sufficient rev.
enue to meet all the appropriations
the Legislature ought to make.
The state has been gradually getting
into debt. Last year a large sum
from the public property fund was
transferred to the general fund, and
yet there was not sufficient to pay the
school teachers. Are we to understand
that the rate which has been fixed will
yield a revenue sufficient to meet all
Of the obligations of the state which
are definitely known or can be approx
imately estimated. and at the same
time pay the salaries of the school
teachers when they are due?
If it will not pay the school teachers
would it not have been better to have
made the rate higher in order that
the school teachers would not have to
wait for their money? We have time
and time called attention to the injus-
tice of making the school teachers wait
for their pay or forcing them to dis
pose of their warrants at a ruinous
discount.
The salaries of the teachers are
small--barely enough to get the neces-
saries of life. We refer of course to
the teachers in the rural districts.
These teachers are never paid in full
0ntil all of the state house officers have
received their money. Would it be
more than just If the Legislature
should provide that the school teachers
be paid before pensioners or state
house officers?
1t is safe proposition that the APP
peal of the Normal School for assist
ance will not be listened to and that
there will be nothing appropriated for
an exhibit at the ST. Louis. fair. 1t
is certain that If a $5.44 rate did not
come anywhere near meeting the APP
preparations last year a $3.50 rate will
not afford any margin for the prompt
payment of the school teachers, aid to
the Normal School and an exhibit at
the st. Louis fair even though there
is an increase in the total of property
values of between $4,000, 900 and SILL
nO0 600

THE AVONDALE EVENT

The gathering of military rifemen
from half a dozen states to compete
in the Interstate Shoot on the splen-
did Avondale range is an occasion that
should be productive of much good. 1t
will strengthen the friendship be-
tween the sections represented. bring
the states and communities into closer
touch with each other, and encourage
the military spirits in them all. Tar
get practice at long range with mill
tary rifles is wholesome sport. for
strong men with steady nerves. clear
brains and keen eyes. 1t is not a pas
time for weddings who cannot bear
the smell of powder or the fatigue of
handling nine-pound piece. 1t is a
mans game, and it takes men to play
az 1t successfully. And it's practice in
culcates manly qualities-pluck, deter
mination, judgment, hopefulness, ac-
curacy, unselfishness, etc The nerv-
Gus, irascible, mean man cannot be a
successful rifle shooter, though even
that sort of man can be improved
some by trying to be one The best
Aidi Will TIE IIile are those Dig
hearted fellows who know not nerves
or ill-temper but who meet the world
with a smile and firm hand-grasp
The Avondale shoot starts under most
suspicious circumstances. There is no
finer shooting ground in the United
States, and few better in the world
Avondale is far better than Sea Girt,
and it should speedily become more
important. The meeting which is now
in progress should prove the forerun-
ner of many of its kind, each, how
ever. larger than its predecessor for a
number of years to come. The Avon
dale shoot should grow to be a ma
tional event. looked forward to ca
serly each season by the worlds best
marksmen, the Americans.

A Phoenix gentleman who recently
returned from California relates an in
cident that occurred to him which
may be of benefit to Phoenix women
who cannot go to the coast, but who
desire to avoid the effects of the ex-
cessive heat as much as possible, says
the Arizona Republican. The gentle
man in question is an extremely mod
est married man. and it was only an
overwhelming curiosity that helped
him into the secret about to be i'm
parted.
On the way home he occupied a seat
toward the rear of the coach, and a
lady, who also had a ticket for &hoe-
nix, sat opposite him and one seat
ahead. He noticed that the further
they Travelled the more uneasy the
lady became. First she tried flaming
herself vigorously, but finally gave
that up in despair, and resorted to her
handkerchief. with which she inces-
sanity mopped her face, removing per-
SEPARATION, paint, complexion and ev-
erything else that was not rooted in
the cuticle
Just before reaching Maricopa the
lady squirmed around a great DEAL
looked out of the corner of her eyes
to see If any one was watching land
there was but she didn't know it,,
then pulling off her shoes she removed
her stockings, turned them inside. out
put them on again.
BY this time the modest Phoenix
man was mostly eyes, and what wasn't
eyes was curiosity. He felt that he had
to have an explanation of the wo-
mans conduct, and there was no one
who could give it but the woman her
self. He approached her, therefore,
begged her pardon, and said that he
seldom took the liberty of inquiring
INTO other peoples business. How
ever. he continued, II just witnessed
the lightning change act you perform
ed, and curiosity has prompted me to
inquire the reason of it,
The woman blushed a little on dis
covering that she had been watched
and then said: You see / am going
through to Phoenix and it's very hot
down there. In fact, it's been getting
hotter every mile for the last three
hours and my feet were literally
burning up, when 1 decided that re-
CARELESS of conventionality, would
have to turn the hose on them"

King Alexander of Servia. being
childless, will, 1t is said. adopt a peas
ant boy and educate him to be his
successor to the throne 1t cannot be
said that Servia's. experience with
peasants on the throne has been a
happy one. 1t has been only seventy
two years since peasant, a swine
herd of the name of Milosh Obreno-
witch, who had proved himself a
good fighter, was raised to the throne.
But no sooner had Milosh become
King that he became a tyrant, and
after reigning nine years he was
forced to abdicate. From him sprang
the present dynasty, which is appar-
emily to end with his grandson Alex
ander, and which has been marked
throughout by beastiality and scandal.
However, since Servia could not pos
slbly have a worse refining house than
that of Obrenovitch, as it has been I'M
der Milosh, Milan and Alexander, she
can lose nothing by having another
peasant on the throne and she may
gain greatly.

Trust your Connecticut yankee for
getting out of tight place! The
Connecticut Tobacco Company is
growing a large crop of wrapper to-
bacco under cloth cover at Tarifville
The crop is ready for harvesting, but
labor is very scarce. Girls are the
best harvesters. Mr.. Nicholson, sec
rotary of the company, tried several
plans of securing girls, without sue
cess. Last week. however, he went to
New York. and upon his return to
Tariffville he was accompanied by as
many girls as he wanted. And.
strange to say. pretty nearly all of
them were chorus girlsl The artful
MIR. Nicholson had gone to the New
York theatrical agencies where girls
are employed for the burlesque shows.
and had solemnly averred that the af-
feet Of the sun beating through the
cloth over the tobacco plants had the
effect OF wonderfully improving the
complexion After that there was no
lack Of girls. they all wanted to go
at once 70 Connecticut and help har-

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
IF the Filipinos are to be educated
up to the highest ideals of American
citizenship it will not be through rev.
dictionary utterances like those of
Gov. Taft, who exhorts them to till
the soil and let politics alone. In such
a deplorable condition of affairs who
would fill the fourth-class postmaster
ships, to say nothing of other posts
of honor and emolument?"
"Mr. Morgan has heretofore shown a
consciousness of the unalterable and
unacceptable fact that obligation goes
with power-that responsibilities A.
pose duties. He had the power to end
the coal strike in 1900. and he exer-
cised it-wisely and justifiably--in aid
of MI. McKinley's election. Will he
refuse to do for the whole public what
he then did for a party?''
The Nashville American (Dem1
says: LAS an evidence of how thor
oughly the negro has been eliminated
from Alabama politics by the new con-
stitution the total number of regis
tered voters in Alabama is 1S3S1S. of
which 1882 are colored. The total
number of white voters in the state
according to the last census is 232, 294
which indicates that, after allowing for
aliens in the mining and manufactur-
ing districts, a considerable number
of whites also lost the right to vote
But many of these viii probably be
registered later"
