John L. Sullivan C0minu.

The famous John l.. Sullivan, who Is
starring at the head of one OF the best
vaudeville companies on the road, will
be here on Friday evening. Speaking
of the show, the Fall River Gazette SAYS:
John L. Sullivan, the king of all the
prize fighters, drew two, good houses
at Rich's theatre yesterday in the after
noon and evening. Nearly every body
wanted to see the famous John l.. and
all that the house could accommodate
were on hand. He appears with George
Ii. Downing's big vaudeville company.
There are eight speciaties q nd then the
"big fellow" makes his debut. The
turns are all good and are as follows:
The Sharkeys in a triple horizontal act:
Billy O'Day, monologue artist; Williams
and Melburne, comedy artists; May
Yvonne, a creole songster; Bummel and
Kimberly in a musical sketch; Mabel
Delberry, vocalist; Doody and Wright
and Russell and Dunbar In clever
sketches.
John L. Sullivan winds up the per-
formance and he got an ovation here
equal to that elsewhere He is seen in
the act Of "Uncle Toms Cabin" and
makes big hit as Simon Legree, a
part most uncoDgenial to a man like
John l.. He makes the most of it and
works hard. The ex-champion's work
is followed with much interest and
everybody seems pleased to have an
other look at the big fellow"

Not an ImprobabiIity.


What mean these rumors of COM
promise in the federal suit against the
Northern Securities merger? asks the
st, Louis Republic. Within the past
week correspondents in Washington
have been busy preparing the way for
an authorized announcement from the
officials having charge of the suit. If
their guesses are right, the interests
affected by this suit have little
cause to fear the outcome.
These reports do not harmonic
with the high-sounding expressions of
the Indiana republicans, who de-
clared that the party believes in the
enforcement of the law. No one has
limited that the statutes are too strin-
gent for any monopoly. 1t is con-
fessed that during the past there has
been too much laxity in applying the
provisions of the laws.
Have the republican managers be-
come alarmed over the increasing
GOODNESS Of the men who have con-
tributed so literally to their campaign
funds? President Roosevelt did not
indicate so much respect to the men
who have conspired to restrain trade
when he assumed the presidency.
The tim has come when repub-
licans must either get busy or give
room to those who intend to fulfill
pledges given to the people. If the
suit against the railroad merger is to
be dropped, what hope for relief is
there in the threatened proceedings
against the ~so-called beef trust2
There has been enough Of shilly-
shallying. Republican anti-monoply
platforms have been for campaign
purposes only. 1t is only when pub
lie sentiment has been aroused
to an unusual extent that a show
of resistance has been made. A
compromise of the Northern Securities
suit would not be surprising in view
of the republican record. Consistency
would leave no other course open for
a party which has always been with
the s~yndicates.

Judge walker Osborn.

In this issue of the INTELLIeENcER
will be found the announcement Of
Judge Walker Osborn as a candidate
for denomination and reelection to
the office Of presiding Judge of the
Lafayette county court, which posi-
tion he has filled SO a~cceptably to
the people for the past three years.
Judge Osborn's zealousness in behalf
of the people has so popularized him
that he has become very strong in
Lafayette county. The thousands of
dollars saved to the taxpayers by
Judge Osborn and his associates on
the bench in refunding six per cent.
bonds at three and a half per cent,
with a premium Of S14, 900 on the
total issue Of $571, 900, was a piece of
fnanciering for which we all have
cause to feel truly thankful. 1t is
computed now by Judge Osborn that
the last dollar of this debt will be
wiped out in the next twenty-three
years. Interest on these bonds will
Of course grow lighter as the debt
decreases and the burden from now on
will grow less hard to bear as the
years roll by. This interest, it might
also be added, is now much less than
would appear on the face of the con-
conditions under which the refunding
took place, for the money collected
annually as a sinking fund with which
to meet the outstanding bonds as
they mature is deposited in bank and
the county is paid one and a fourth
per cent. for its use. Thus it will be
seen that we are really paying interest
on these bonds at the rate of only two
and a fourth per cent.
Under the management Of the
present court, of which Judge Osborn
is the head, the county is in splendid
financial condition. Warrants are
worth dollar for dollar and there is a
balance in the county contingent fund
OF something like $50, 900.
Judge Osborn meets all the require
ments exacted of a p~ainstaking, con-
scientious county Judge, along with
thorough qualification for the place,
and is entitled to the full confidence
and high esteem of his people. In
addition, he is an answering demo-
GRAFT and his party will make no
mistake in renominating him, nor
viii the people in r~e-electing him.

Ex-Governor Stone is sweeping
everything in his race for the senate
and the expression Of popular opinion
in his favor at primary elections in
the various counties that have spoken
shows the esteem in which he is held
by the people Of Missouri. Mr.. Wal

county he has stumped has given
pronounced maiorlties against him,
holds on with a tenaclty born OF seem
ing desperation. He OF course sees
that he is leading a forlorn hope and

none Of him as its representative in

The necesstv for the study of housekeeping as a science may be
ooorecatcd mon the statistical statement that one-nat OF the women
IN America are married. ELEVEN MILLION AXE THEIR
IIoITSEKFFpERS and over a million are in domestic service. It
is said by women most prominent IN the new movement ina a gen
csl education is essential to thoroughly comprehend a course in do
rosfc science. The charge that has been made against our women
that thew are Indifferent b~ousekeepers is said to be due to the fact that
s,ca work has never been regarded seriously. To become interested
or proficient in any subject the average American girl must be ap
nealed to through her intellect. 1t is therefore the object OF teachers
Of the new science to make housekeeping a profession of as much i'm
portance in the education Of young woman as is any chosen avoca.
ton in the preparation OF a man for his life work.
When girls come to believe this, the mothers OF the next genera
ton will cooperate with the schools, and it is only when this is done
that the education of women will be complete.
Young women are not at present taught in their homes regard
ing such essential, in everyday life as sanitation, ventilation and the
Importance of good plumbing in their houses. They are not led to
think of the possibility Of sickness resulting from leaking gas pipes
and poor drainage of sinks. IT is SELDOM that a young house
keeper in the selection Of a home thinks first OF LOCATION
EXCEPT AS A SOCIAL VANTAGE POINT. The view and the
sunlight are often secondary and even sacrificed to the amount Of
wealth represented by surrounding residences.
In matters OF decoration, too, the first law Of good taste-hat
Of 6tness-is coming to be d~isregarded, and the teaching of Mr.. Nor
rs, the great benefactor of home life, is seldom manifest in the aver
age home.

M EaniYoestion, -.

No E~quiyocsnon, Please.
Attorney General Knox should take
full advantage Of the fact that the
Retail Butchers and Meat Dealers
Protective Association of America is
in a position to supply him with
evidence of the monopolistlc nature
of the beef trusts organization, and
that the retailers are entirely willing
to thus assist him, says the Republic.
There is excellent reason for this
willingness. According to their own
story, these small dealers in meats
are made to feel keenly the absolute
control of their business by the COM
bine of great packers. Their opera
tions must be conducted according to
the trusts dictates. The second vice
president of the retailers national
association declares that any retailer
who fails to comply with certain rules
is promptly blacklisted by the trust
and instantly finds it impossible to
buy meat from any of the great houses
in that trade. In other words, the
trust has a monopoly of the field.
All the facts in the possession Of
the Retail Butchers and Meat Dealers
Protective Association of America
should be brought out in the course
of the proceedings against the beef
trust ordered by President Roosevelt.
The attorney general will fail in his
duty to the people if he neglects to
profit by utilizing this source of in
formation to the fullest. There will
be a skillful and capable effort made
to prove that the great packing-h houses
of this country are not in a combine
and do not exercise a control of prices
in restraint of trade. The retailers
have practical knowledge of the
methods of these packers. That
knowledge must be made public in
the course of the investigation now
about to begin.
AS matters now stand, the Amer
lean people look to the administration
for relief from the %exactions of the
beef trust. President Roosevelt is
opposing a powerful element Of his
in instituting proceedings
the trust, and there will be a
secret republican willingness to so
shape affairs that the proceedings
against the beef trust shall come to
naught. Much quiet and crafty work
will be done to this end. The pres
ident and his attorney general should
see to it that they are not made to
figure as bunko-steerers for the fool
Of the people by a mock inveStiga-
the real intent of which is to
prevent genuine investigation and
thus to strengthen the beef trust in
It's control of the situation.

Should Work Both WAYS.

The Kansas City Journal refers to
the cowardice of attacking a man
when he is down and intimates that
those who criticise Funston after
President Roosevelt has closed the
Kansan's mouth by a peremptory
order to quit talking, are guilty of
that deteStable trait of character. for
the very good reason that Funston
cannot defend himself.
If we remember correctly the Jour
nal commended the action of Pres
ident Roosevelt in Offering to Senator
Tillman an open insult when at the
same time Tillman's hands were as
securely tied as is the tongue Of
Funston. R~oosevelt's position was
sufficient guarantee that in giving
offense the possibility of resentment
was cut off, hence the cowardice
of his action.
The Journal should remember that
tits a poor rule that won't work both
ways.

Lei Us Have Action.

Let Us Have Action.
The continued explanations OF
Attorney General Knox that he is
"havinP Investigations made" to see
whether the beet trust is violating
the law, says the Indianapolis
Sentinel, and the assurance OF Senator
Beyeridge that President Roosevelt's
efforts are concentrated on establish
ing a department of commerce to
make further Investigations, are not
very encouraging indications OF any
attitude Of hostility to the trusts.
There has been Investigation after
Investigation heretofore, and nothing
has come Of them.
There is no room to question the
existence Of combination in the beef
business. For months the combine
has issued uniform rate lists, and
rules for conduct Of retail business
with which it enforced compliance
on pain of boycott. For months it
has received discriminating rates
from railroads. This was conceded
by all the railroads ~centering at Chi
cago before the industrial commission.
Mr.. B. B. Mitchell, general manager
Of the Michigan Central, testified
that the annual rebates from regular
rates allowed by his road to n Of
the combine firms amounted to $780,
900 to $50, 900 annually. There is no
question that the price of meat has
been raised. Everybody knows that.
What is wanted is relief, and there
can be no relief without action. II
President Roosevelt and Attorney
General Knox mean to do anything
they should proceed. There can be
no doubt that Attorney General Knox
knows all the ms and outs of the
Sherman antitrust law. His former
position as counsel for the steel trust
guarantees that. And it is note
worthy that In none of his commu-
nications does he express an opinion
that anything can be done by pro-
ceeding under that law. At the
same time, investigation and possibly
the bringing of a suit under that law
will serve the purpose of delaying
effective action and furnishing a
bridge for the republican party to
stand on until after the fall elections.
There can be no question that the
democratic party, and for that matter
the mass Of the republican party,
would enthusiastically support any
antitrust proceedings, and especially
any proceedings against this beef
trust. And why should there not be
some criminal proceedings? There
were admissions publicly made before
the industrial commission of viola
tions Of the interstate commerce law.
There are penal provisions in every
section Of the antitrust law. Why
not enforce some Of them? Or are
the captains of industry too high up
for criminal proceedings9 There is
talk that this may be done. Let us
have action.
