SHARP STICKS ALONG TRAIL.
How Philippine Head Hunters Retard
an Enemy's Advance.

Capt. c. E. Nathorst. chief of con-
stabulary in Lepanto- Bontoc, in re-
port to the War department tells the
methods of warfare practiced by the
Philippine head hunters.
Capt Nathorst headed an expedition
in search of five Igorotte criminals.
The way led through dense forests,
and as they al preached Barlig they
encountered thousands of sharpened
bamboo sticks, which the savages had
stuck in the ground at an angle Of As
degrees. The sticks were the thick.
est where the trails were down hill.
They were hidden in the thick grass,
and the feet and legs of the officers
were badly lacerated.
The head hunters fled and the town
was burned, while the savages threw
spears at the soldiers, but without re-
suit. Capt. Nathorst got his little
force out with much difficulty, for the
natives studded all the trails with
more of the sharpened sticks.

ISLANDER OVER THE WIRE.
II Folks Listen, Is That "the Presence
and Hearing of Others"

A new point is raised by suit filed
in the circuit court of Macon. Mo.
u. S. Farmer of Hart, treasurer of the
Lunday and Zion Telephone company,
demands of B. F. Jenkins, stockhold-
er, $500 damages for slandering
him over the wire. He expects to
make his case on the testimony of a
number of patrons along the line who
had their telephone receivers down to
hear what was going on.
This is the language the treasurer
accuses Jenkins of addressing to him
over the wire:
"You have squandered 5000 or $500
of the company's money, and l will
make you account for it at the next
meeting or will go after your bonds
men,"
He took pains to write the message
down. The petitioner says the Ian
guage was slanderous in that it
charged him in the hearing of many
of the patrons of the line with embez-
zllng or stealing the funds OF the tele-
phone company.
Under the law of SANDER the often
sive language must be used ''in the
presence and hearing of Others" In
this case it can only be charged that
it was "in the hearing of others" as
those who heard it were admittedly
not present. Farmers lawyers will
contend that the effect was the same.

Austrian sugar at three cents per

Fighting and Dying.

In the course of one of his numerous
speeches aboard ship at the naval
maneuvers off Oyster Bay President
Roosevelt said:
Il do not praise you for being
brave; that is expected The coward
is to be condemned rather than the
brave man to be praised. | expect
everyone to show a perfect willing
hess to die rather than to see the
slightest stain put upon the American
flag, but in addition you must know
how to fight as well as know how to
die; then you will be what / believe
you are, the most efficient fighting
force in the world"
This has the flavor of flag-presen-
tation speech to regiment or ship
about to depart for the wars, whereas
ii is known that the last thing the
sailor men who now enter the navy
think of is fighting or dying.
If the President of the United States
could see warship, a cannon. or
soldier occasionally without shaking
his fists in the face of the world Il
might be sign of i'll health, but it
would be refreshing change.

dow Glass Company predicting higher

Here are two trusts boldly plying
their illegal business under the nose

ney-General as well as in front of the
new Department of Commerce which
was to kill all bad trusts by publish
ing the facts about them. Is 1t not
high time for these functionaries to
get busy and to wipe some OF these
thousands of Illegal combinations off
the map Of this once free country?
When can we expect results? The
trusts are not sleeping even II the Of
icials are. they are making hay
while the Republican sun is shining
for them. They are standing pat"
under the Republican tariff umbrella
and are playing their game of hold-up
without losing trick. The people are
the victims. VIII these victims of
trust robbery again vote for the party
of trusts and for officials who habitu-
ally vioiate their oath of Office and
who apparently can neither smell,

TALK, BUT NO ACTION
ANTITRUST PROCEEDINGS CON.
TlNUE TO LAG.
Department of Justice Officials Give
Out Vague Hints Of Something
Which May Happen in the Future,
But the Public Is Skeptical.

The antitrust measures adopted by
the late Congress to which some of our
spellbinders have been pointing with
pride have thus far borne no fruit OF
which anyone can be proud.
One of the measures appropriated
100000 as special fund to be used
in the prosecution of trusts which the
administration may regard as objec'
tionable. or this sum only 100000
has been expended, and half of that
went in one fee to a Pittsburg attor
ney in the Northern Securities case,
which originated, it will be remember
ed, before the late Congress did any
thing about the trusts.
The Department of Justice would
have us believe, nevertheless that ii
is not idle and that the new legisla'
ton is really of some value. 1t gives
out information that number of anti
trust cases are in course of prepare
ton and that there will be great
commotion one of these days. Like
. the revision of the tariff. however, it
must be postponed until after the fall
elections, and the people must be en-
tertained meantime by mysterious
outgivings as to the extremely eau
tious activity of the department in
setting good and ready to make
things happen when the time comes.
Among these encouraging outgivings
e. 30, thn of hat OFF io1c - m
department ARE almost unanimous IN
the opinion that a good case" against
the anthracite trust "can be made un-
der the new antitrust legislation"
Before going into ecstasies over this
almost unanimous official opinion we
may as we'll recall the fact that long
ago the industrial commission was
almost unanimously of the opinion
that a good case could be made
against that most audacious of trusts
under the antitrust law of 1890. Also
that the interstate commerce COM
mission long ago was almost or quite
unanimously of the opinion that a
good case could be made against that
impudent trust under the interstate
commerce law.
As not thing has been done by the
officials under the laws which have
been so long on the statute book, only
very sanguine people will be confident
that they will make out good case
under the new legislation or that
they will seriously attempt to make
out good case. The anthracite trust
is merely good one to which to adj
minister stuffed club punishment be-

for the sake of booming summer re-
sorts, to have one of its best ships run
upon the rocky New England coast
each year? We do not believe the
people will reply to that question in
the affirmative They are interested
ir the summer resorts, but they are
rot interested in them to the extent
of helping make them popular by sac
rificing a ship season and going into
their pockets to pay the cost to the
tune of half Il million or more.
