Hit the Food Trust Through
he Tariff, Mr., Roosevelt!

against the Republican President were
ne to send in a special message urging
| the repeal of the duties on the foods
| concerned in the trust.
| In the House there are many Republi-
cans who would be glad to give their
votes for the Free Meat bill, and three
Republican Senators-For of Ohio;
Elkins of West Virginia, and Depew of
New York-have declared to the Ameri-
can and Journel their readiness to sun
port repeal. Not a few other Repubii-
car Senators, less bold in speech, SYM
pathize with the position of Foraker.
Elkins and Depew.
why should President Roosevelt hest
tate to take the American and Journals
advice and send in a special message?
Inc reason that will be pleaded is that
the Republican party is committed to the
maintenance of the protective system.
But president Roc sevelt asked Con-
gress to lower the duties as an act of
justice to the people of Cuba.
AS an act of justice to the people of
the United States he can consistently ask
congress to place on the free LIST the
meats monopolized by the food trust.
iaKing even the narrow view of party
policy the President could do no wiser
thing than to adopt the course pressed
upon him in the public interest by the
American and Journal

geous Tor the Republican party IN the

From the New York Journal.
The food trust is scared. 1t has re
Taxed its grip a little.
The more the food trust is scared the
more its grip will relax.
What has scared the meat nonopolists
into the letting the prices of the necessa-
ries of life come down?
The peoples anger.
That anger has found expression
In the press, and its voice has reached the
White House.
The presidents command to the at
torney-general to proceed in the courts
against the combined monopolists in or
der to break up the agreement under
which they regulate the supply of meats,
and so control prices. does not in itself
alarm them for II their trust is not le-
gal in form they can easily do what the
Standard Oil trust, the Sugar trust, the
Steel trust and other combinations have
done-reorganize in conformity with law.
That does not help the people any, for
the trusts, whatever their form, continue
their extortions.
But the spirit behind the presidents
order is what frightened the Meat mono
polsts
Let the American people once rouse
themselves on the trust question, let
them be goaded to the point OF resisting
trust robbery in the spirit that they
would resist foreign invasion-and in time
1t is oound to come to that-and the
American people will find a way to SUBJ
jugate the trusts
They Will find a way to convert the
trusts now national robbers, into pub
lie servants.
The meat trusts and all other trusts
dread the coming of the predestined pop
ular revolt. and at any real sign of It's
approach they seek in terror to postpone
il.
The Food trust realizes that it has
passed the danger line. and the order to
,etreat has been sounded.
But If President Roosevelt is a patri-
,tto statesman and not a maneuvering
politician he will not be satisfied merely
with attacking the form of the combine
he will assail the trust at every point
where its monopoly is vulnerable.
The leaders of his party IN Congress
Tor the most part are opposed to interior
ance with the tariff duties which pro-
tect the Food trust from competition.
But these leaders could not stand out

Literary Notes

The history of the expedition under the command of Captains Lewis and Clark is an unabridged reprint of the edition of 1874 to which all the mem bers of the expedition contributed. The edition of 1914, published in Philadel- phia, was the first complete history of the expedition. This was contributed to by all the members of the expedition and contained the appendix and the life of Lewis by President Jefferson. The previous editions and those issued later were incomplete in one way or another with the exception Cf Dr. Coues' work. published by Francis r. Harper in 1893 as q limited edition at high price and now lout of print. The importance of the work the extreme rarity of copies of the 1914 edition, together with the fact that the Centennial of the Louis jana purchase will soon be celebrated. have induced the New Amsterdam book company of New York to publish an unabridged reprint of the 1874 edition at a popular price. In addition to the maps there are portraits in photogra- vure of both Lewis and Clark, from plates especially made for the present edition. The work is printed on a spec ially made paper from clear, easily read type Three volumes. cloth, gilt tops. Price is $1 net per volume.
 
 Sir Alexander Mackenzie's journey to the unknown regions of the wild north and his exploration of the great Mac kenzie river from it's sources to the Arctic ocean may easily rank first among the many daring achievements of our race on this continent. His mod est account will be followed very eager ly by all readers who care for the stir ring adventures and hair-breadth es- capes of the early pioneers in North America. In his story he includes an account Of the early American fur trade as it existed in 17S9 and 1793. The book was issued a century ago and again in 1874, but has never been re- printed since then. In view of the fact that the opening of the territory west of the Rocky mountains followed quick ly after Mackenzie's voyages. and the great Hudson Bay company immediate ly started to stud the whole northern country with small trading posts. whence have been drawn since incalcul- able riches in the furs of the north. the quiet, unimpassioned story of the sturdy Scotchman's victory over almost incredible privations and obstacles, is invaluable as a contribution to our knowledge of early American explora- tion.

given a unanimous verdict in favor of the new s. H. & M. velvet braid skirt protector, especially in regard to its use on drop skirts, that hitherto have been vexatious on account of an easy fraying. The new braid Is the more liked also, because requiring only one sewing to attach it to the skirt.
 In new millinery the prevalence of white or very light shades is novel feature. Flowers, too. are now seen in abundance, but almost exclusively in velvet, while richly or delicately toned velvet leaves are in marked favor. Nothing can be more stylish than 2 broad white felt in rough texture, en- circied by a wreath of pond lilies, pale dahlias or rich white roses. The use of silk, plain or moire, is likewise a special feature. Not a few new hats are covered wholly by narrow rows of pinked silk and some hats are plainly overlaid by silk. Chenille Is much used in trimming and a startling innovation Is the use of squirrel fur. This hitherto despised fur composes entire hats; it is seen throughout dress in general. entire Jackets. muffs or neck pieces being no- , ticeable. ROSALlND MAI.
