LITTLEFIELD's LITTLE BILL.

Maine is out doing his favorite
stunt by framing his new anti
trust bill for the next session of
congress" For campaign pur-
poses, an outline Of the bill has
been given the, press. That the
proposed bill will not meet the sit
uation nor abolish the trusts goes
without saying. 1t IS not intend
ed to do anything Of the kind. Lit
tlefleld knows it, the trusts them
selves know it,, and the people
ought to have sense enough to
know it. The entire play is sup
posed to allay public indignation
sufficiently to enable the republi-
can party to retain its prestige in
congress when the elections occur
this fall.
L~ittlefield proposes to compel
every corporation 10 make a state
ment of it's authorized capital stock,
amount issued and outstanding, a
statement of assets, earnings and
incomes, net earnings and divi-
denls, salaries of officials and rate
of wages paid employees. This fea-
ture of the bill is simply an embod-
iment of President Roosevelt's
publicity cure, which is no cure
at all, 1t is like the enactment CT
a law compelling horse thieves and
sneak thieves to ply their vocation
in broad daylight instead Of doing
their pilfering under cover of dark
ness.
But Littleield goes farther. He
proposes to compel every officer
of atrust combination to go on the
stand AMI testify against his.broth-
er officers when an action is
brought--in # ct to turn states
evidence against his willard in
case the action goes against the
corporation against which it is
brought, the injured party is to re-
ceive three times the amount of
actual damage suffered, besides all
the cost Of the action.
Thus does this man L~ittlefeld
propose to beard the lion III his
den, as it were.
That the enactment Of any such
q law would prove wholly mad
equate is plain to anyone. SINH
lar state laws have been passed
and the corporations. attacked
under them have not paid any at
tention to the prosecutions.
Such an act fails to strike at the
root Of the trust evil-the tariff
policy which has bred the trusts
and behind which they find their
protection. The failure Of Little
field and others like him to get at
the bottom Of the difficulty disclos-
es the plain fact that he. nor the
republican party have any serious
intention el1ttiio Of hindering Or abolish
ing the trusts. That much is
plain.
The trusts may thrive, flourish
and grow fat On their robbery ot
the people, but no republican, big
Or little, has advocated attaching kllt,
the one policy which is responsible
for the existence u these monopso-
ORGANIZATIONS. Ne will they

German a Candidate For
The 1904 Nomination

The washington correspondent of the
St Louis Republic sends his paper the
following:
The statement that Senator Bailey, of
Texas, favors Arthur F. German. OF
Maryland. for the Democratic nomination
for president in 1904 was received with
much interest by politicians in Washing
ton.
Mr.. German apparently is a candidate,
and the fact that he is Endorsed by the dis
tinguished Texas senator shows how far
reaching is his strength even at this early
day.
Mr.. German will be elected senator and
take his seat March 4. 1909. with the expi-
ration of, the present congress. His Wash
ington friends say that ne will be found
soon afterward conducting a vigorous
campaign for the presidential nomination,
and that he will cut deeply into many
southern delegations which ex-senator
Hill probably counted upon. Hill already
is at work, as Senator Bailey states. and
from time to time evidences of his cam
paign are cropping out in Washington.
Hills present efforts, II is said, are con-
fined mainly to the southern states. The
publication of Senator Bailey's views IS
timely reminder to the people of that sec
ton that there are two eastern candidates
in the field. The knowledge that German
who led the fight against the Force BILL
is one, will make prospective delegates to
the next convention withhold their pledges
of Hill support.
The fact that such adroit managers as
Hill and German are working thus early

DR.. Alonzo Monk preached Sunday at
the regular afternoon service Of st.
Marks Methodist church. whose congre-
cation is now worshiping at North avenue
PRESBYTERIAN church. The congregation
was very large. The subject of the hour
was the crowns of the faithful.
Among other things he said:

that we must die. The world is an I'M

Neither do we need the. bible to con-
vince us that we will live forever Man

ton. Nobody dies. Since here we can not
stay, and live forever we must, where
shalt we go?
Why did the Savior exhort US to lay
up treasures only in heaven? Because
life begins and continues there. We do
not have TO die to get to heaven. Some
people in this house are already there,
because their desires, ambitions, purpo-
ses are all heavenly. They are not on

He will build up. II his worthy character
is grounded In responsibility. honesty.
virtue and fair dealing.
II he Is lacking in these essentials, he
will pull down. No matter how much
money he inherits. or how exalted the
station to which his predecessors lifted
him. he must be sterling In truth, honest
integrity and clean life. or he will undo
what others have done for him and for
those connected with him. In time he will
destroy and disintegrate in decay.
Every young man must be a force for
good or for evil. There is no standing
still in human progress. For him there is
no spot where he can stand and wait.
The crowd must move along with him or
the herd will trample him down. II he is
rich he will haye splendid opportunities
along with appalling temptations. with
crowds ready to help him spend his
money. IL he Is poor. he will not ind him

finger his money but he will either dwin-
die into apathetic nothingness or ind
himself nerved and strengthened by his
ambitions.
The history Of our country goes to show
that the immense majority Of those who
have been successful in business, In liter
allure, I'm art. in religious prominence ana
statesmanship. have been young men
thrown on their own resources, and who
started with nothing at all, except good
character and unaagging Industry. as
their stock In trade.
II the young man Is what he ought to be

YOU find him. II will be because he has
within himself the elements Of upright
ness. the fear of God and love for man
kind. with proper respect for himself.
In the words Of the great commandment
he will love the Lord. his God, with all
his heart and his neighbor as himself.
The best and most wholesome education
that a young man can receive in this life
lies I'm the near vicinity of this command
ment, for all the other things can be safe
~ added unto 1t. no matter In what direc-
ton individual effort may be inclined, or
the openings which may develop.
With the peace of mind which attends a
good conscience the young man has the
opportunity for making a good husband,
a good father. a good citizen and good
Christian.
As my mind goes over the many umsolv-
ell problems that now menace our state
and nation. would. II I could, urge our
young men 10 take a higher and better
view Of life from the standpoint Of pru-
dence sobriety. clean living. honest pur-
pose. exact justice and uprightness in life
and character. Compromise is always
surrender when It involves character.
How this nation does need men who will
dare TO do right!

III STAMPS

Since the establishment OF the postal

the rule OF the department that the face
Of no living man shall appear upon post
age stamps and, no matter how popular

disregarded Now that Mr.. Mckinley has
passed from this life, ne at once becomes
eligible to a place upon the postal issues
OF the government.
Il the face of President Mckinley shall
supersede that of Franklin. which has
had place upon the one-cent stamp for
exactly fifty years. 1t is quite likely that
Franklin would in turn supersede Daniel
Webster. who has had a place upon the
ten-cent stamp since 1890. In case Mr..
Mckinley should appear on the two-cent
stamp. Washington might take Franklin's
place on the one-cent and Franklin sue

have been accorded the presidents of the
United States. yet presidents have been
sidetracked for army and naval heroes
and statesmen. OF the dead presidents
the faces Of Washington. Jefferson, Mad
isOn, Jackson, Taylor, Lincoln, Grant and
Garfield have had places upon United
States postage stamps. while those not so
honored were both of the Adamses, Mon

Tyler Polk. Fillmore. Pierce, Buchanan,
Johnson, Hayes, Arthur, and Benjamin
Harrison. AS the last named has been
dead but comparatively a brief time and
no changes in postage stamps have oc-
Cured since his death. his name should
really not appear among those who have
not been honored by the postoffice depart

There have been numerous changes dur
ing the fifty years since the first real Sc
ries OF postage stamps was issued by this
government. in the profiles upon stamps.
Presidents have been shifted here and
there as the department deemed expedi-

and others temporarily. but there is one
