Independent with Limitations.

1t is clear that to speak of Cuba as
independent is not strictly correct;
she is dependent upon the good will
of the United States. Her so-called in
dependence is limited by the approval
and sanction of her conduct for the
future by the United States. She is
practically nothing but an experiment

she becomes derelict government the

Invoke the criminal Law.

Invoke the Criminal Law.
w. j. Bryan, in his paper, addresses
letter to President Roosevelt, urging
him to cause criminal proceedings to
be started against the alleged beef
trust. incidentally Mr.. Bryan declares
the President a courageous man. He
begins by quoting the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust law, and continues:
You are tile chief executive of this
nation, and as such are not only en-
powered but are required to enforce
the law. BY commencing civil action
against the members of the beef trust
you declared that the members of that
trust are, in your opinion, guilty of
violation of the law. Why do you hes
itate to commence criminal action?
The penalty fixed in the statute is in
significant compared with the penalty
prescribed for violation Of less I'M
portant statutes. If the members of
the beef trust have raised the price of
meat one cent per pound, they have laid
Il tax of millions of dollars upon the
people of the United States.
1t is publicly stated that some of tie
capitalists have condemned you for at
tempting to enforce the antitrust law
even by civil process; it Is even limited
that they threaten to oppose your re-
nomination If you show the strenu-
BUSINESS in this direction that you have
shown toward the Fllipinos, but can
you be scared by such threats? VIII
You fear to face concentrated wealth?
Civil suits may annoy the captains of
industry, but If you are going to
shackle cunning you will have to
shackle it with criminal laws. A
prison cell will prove more effective
in the prevention of monopoly than
judgments or DEGREES for the payment
of money. You have chance to show
that you were in earnest when you
made that Minneapolis speech"

The Democracy of Indiano.


The Indiana Democratic convention
was as harmonious and enthusiastic
as such gatherings ever are when they
address themselves solely to the prin-
ciples Of the Democracy. There are
but four Democratic members from
Indiana in the present Congress, the
total membership from that State be-
ing thirteen. Under the new Congress
sional superintendent it Is possible that
the Democrats may carry two or three
additional districts.

State lacked material elements Of
strength. In trying to make more

Republican philippine secrets,

SeCTetSs
Senator Culberson of Texas has
caused deal of tiuttering in and
around the War Department by his
revelation of official documents relat-
Ing to the Philippines which seem to
have been withheld from publicity with
the greatest care. These documents
contain, 1t is true. fresh evidence Of
revolving cruelties practiced upon the
natives by subordinate officers, doubt
less without the approval or knowl-
edge of their superiors. But what is
the occasion of all the official secrecy
and play of hide-and-seek with official
documents to which Congress Is en-
titled?
Secretary Root has apparently mani
Tested much frankness In submitting to
the Senate such official reports from
the islands as have come to his hands.
Yet Senator Culberson has several
times endeavored to secure the passage
of resolution calling upon the Secre-
tary for the papers in the Arnold Weir
case, and each time he has been baftled
by the Republican majority of the
Senate. But now, when he has secured
the documents by some leakage In the
War Department, the Indignation over
the matter In administration circles
goes far to encourage the suspicion OF
evil thinkers that there are other doc.
uments Of like character which are sed-
ulously kept from the light.

A little figuring shows that it will
take ll6 days work of 8 hours per
day to pay thessS35o railroad tax.
What the people of Riverdale are
trying to find out is how any man
can do l16 daySwork for S1.50 per
day, and take so per cent off for cash
in times like theSpresent, when work
is plenty. If the contractor got $3.50
for II days work, Cor about that, he
could afford to turn the receipts over
to the railroad company at half price
and still make rake off euough to

dence, which thes Republican is re-
quested to publish next week.

This week The Lamb Lumber COM

will have room here for about twenty
car loads of doors, sash, building

regular stock of lumber. New dry
ing sheds are to be built through the
center of the yard, 50 that lumber
can be taken oft from either side. In
the center of this shed will be rail-
road track, 50. that cars can be

ton is under the Supervision of Aud
itor Bacon, vino has fitted up fine

This making distributing point

of another year there will be num-
Der of other institutions who will also
use Oakes facilltief for wholesaling
in other lines of trade. There is no
better point in thes whole northwest,
nor one where more territory can be
reached locally for. distribution, or
one where the advantages for ship
ping in from the east are as good as

the bond set aside, and there is pros :
pcct that this will be done when proper
explanations are made. A hearing Will
be granted Nelson next Monday. Judge
Love will preside. In the meantime,
Nelson must remain in Jail. As hereto
fore stated the hearing in the case OF

Thursday, has been continued to the
August term of court, which meets the
fourth Monday of the month. Nelson
case will likely be taken up at the same
