This Plan Should Work,

1t has been aScertained by an esti-
mate that the s24, 900 to be raised by
the sale of bonds for the construction
of water works will lack several
thousand dollars for that purpose, now
the water must be brought from the
river. a plan is now being consider
ed and perfected by which an auxilia-
ry company can furnish the needed
funds. Many more of our citizens are
anxious to assist in this scheme upon
which the City Attorney, Mr.. Swine
broad, assisted by Messrs TOmlinson,
ROthwell and HerndOn are busily at
work. The plan may be such that the
Courts must pass on its legality but if
sustained there will be no trouble, it
is believed, to get all the money need.
ed. Such a sum could be raised by
donation, but not enough for the pur.
pose, and the citv wants each one who
furnishes money for this laudable pur.
pose to be safe.

"Nig| Has Troubles.

Will Spencer, the cOlOred boy known
as mig" had all kind of troubles
last week. Mig chad been trafficing
in Battle Row liquor, and was fined
and placed in the work house last fall.
He worked faithfully all winter and
was released Thursday. He Immediate
ly hired horse and buggy and, he says,
went after minnOwS. In attempting
to cross the river near TraylOr's diStil-
lery, horse, buggy and Mig were swept
away by the swollen stream. The
horse was drowned and the buggy
washed away. BY a close shave, Mig
escaped, but the fact that he was SO
near the distillery aroused the suspi-
cions of the City Council, and Mig is
again in Jail to serve out his entire
sentence. The boy is almost totally
blind, and really unfit for manual la
Dor.

Ten Thousand Thanks.

Lancaster has an excellent Record
in the one published by Louis Lam

fourteenth year. The Record is up to
date, lively, and thoroughly devoted
to the interests of Garrard county, land
the little city in which it is published.
If the people of Garrard, in matters
of public enterprise and policy, follow
the leadership of The Record for the
future, or at least as long as the pres
ent management continues, they will

Twas Ever Thus.

The writer of the following para
graph has evidently been up against
the real thing. At any rate he speaks
correctly: men are Just like hogs,
however distasteful this may sound to
the hogs. When hog gets an ear of
corn, every hog will trot along behind
him, sQueal and whine and beg for a
bite, but just let the front hog get his
head fast in crack and every one will
jump on him and tear him to pieces.
Just so with men. AS long as a man
is prosperous and has plenty of money
he can't keep friends off with club.
But the minute his wealth is gone, he
is not only snubbed by his former
friends, but they at once begin to do
him all the harm possible. When a
man starts up grade the world falls
behind and pushes. but when he starts
down grade the world steps to one side
and greaSes the track"

ANNALS OF IOWA

For many years the historical depart
ment of the state government at Des
Moines has issued quarterly magazine
called annals of Iowa. which is a Won
derfully interesting publication. The old
est inhabitant'' from every section of the
state has contributed his recollections of
what happened in the early days to enrich
the growing library of Iowa history. The
latest issue contains an article written by
a pioneer who lived in Burlington when
that city contained but four hundred
people. many of whom made a living sell
ing whisky to the Sac and Fox Indians.
1t hardly seems possible that man now
living and in the full enjoyment of unim-
paired mental faculties can remember the
time when the great state of Iowa was
comparatively a wilderness and nothing
doing west of what isSnow the beautiful
city OF independence. But this man can
remember when the Indians came down
the Des Moines river in log canoes, bring
ing the furs of wild animals which they
exchanged for calicoes, sugar and whisky.

but as to his parliamentary position he at
least stands on as firm ground as his OPP
ponents. In fact, to an impartial mind it
appears that they are the obstructionists.
Quay claims to have a majority in favor
of his bill and demands vote. The OPP
ponents of the bill, fearing they are a
minority, refuse to bring the measure to
a vote. We are generally in the habit of
denouncing parliamentary minority that
stubbornly resfsts the will of the majority

Trust Legislation Taking Definite
Enrno

With the smooth passage of the Elkins
bill through the senate yesterday after
noon without dissenting vote, anti
trust legislation by this session of con-
gress comes near to being certain.
From the account Mr.. Jermane gives
Of the bill in another column, it appears
that it Is really a measure which has the
approval of the administration, and not
an antitrust dummy passed by the
enemies of effective legislation. The
Elkins bill as it stands is aimed at rail-
way trusts and at the trusts that depend
on railway favor. It regulates the trans
portation trusts under severe penalties,
and by making them adhere to published
rates prevents the other trusts from get
ting special transportation privileges.
Nor is this all of the anti-trus legis-
lation. A'special bureau is to be created
in the new department of commerce
charged with the investigation Of trusts
and the collection Of information which
may pave the way for further legisla-
ton.
Yet for the present the only substantial
part OF the ANTITRUST leSlSldJlOn Will Oe
that designed to increase the powers OF
the interstate commerce commission and
prevent rebates. No one who has studied
the trust question will deny that if the
railways can be forced to refuse specia
privileges, one Of the greatest advantages
| of the trusts over their competitors will
| be elm mated. The effect of such a meas
ure seems plain. AS much cannot be sale
of some of the more radical measures
proposed, much as their avowed purpose
accords with the views of those who fee
the need Of strong antitrust legislation
I We all know the evils of local discrim:
| ination, but we are not sure that a strin
gent measure prohibiting it might no
plunge us into worse evils.
Unless the interstate commerce com
mission is added to the department o
comm cree, instead Of being left, as al
appanage of congress, we fear the bes
possible results will not be obtained from
the Elkins bill enacted into law. Tn
commission is to have more power, an
it ought to be put where it will have t
use that power.
