In response to inquiry from Professor
Harrison S. Smalley Of the University OF

barIassnent to the Minnesota state rail-

written the following letter:
This commission rather invites review OF
Its work in this line by the courts; and we dc
not feel that 1t in any way embarrasses us Oh
causes us to hesitate in making an order fixinl
what we deem to be reasonable rates.
On the other hand the fact that there is
tribunal provided to review the work of the com

to hesitate in this regard.
The length of time required to get fna

How Assassin. Increa.s

July 20 is the second anniversary of
the murder of King Humbert, of Italy,
the last of the IL chiefs of state
who were assassinated in the last cen
fury. 1t is noteworthy sign of the
growing tendency to these crimes that.
while in the first half of the nineteenth
century Gar Paul was the only vic
tim, in the third quarter rulers of Par
ma, Montenegro, the United States and
Servia were so removed" and in the
last quarter no less than seven thus
erished-rulers of Turkey, Russia,
the United States, France. Persia, Aus
tria and Italy. And this, be it OBJ
served, in spite OF the fact that the
number of states has dill inished con-
sidera bly,. Further, the first year of
the present century was marked by the
murder of President Mckinley, as was
1907, by that of Gar Paul.-London

Such are some of the vicissitudes

SURE DEATH TO wooDcHUcKs.
Canada's Department of Agriculture
Tells How. to Do Away with
the Pests,

in many parts of Canada good deal
of damage is annually done in grain,
hay and pasture fields by the common
woodehucil, or grounding. Not only
is a considerable amount of grain or
fodder consumed by these animals,
but much more is trampled upon and
destroy ed, while the open burrows are
occasionally responsible for accidents
to horses employed in harvesting.
Many ways of destroying these ami
mails have been devised, but ordinary
methods frequently fail to keep them
In check. Probably the simplest and
most satisfactory method is that of
the use Of bisulphide of carbon, an in
fammable liquid which, on exposure
to air, volatilizes into vapor that is
very destructive to animal life. A bull
letin has been issued by the depart
ment of agriculture, telling how to ap-
ply the remedy, reports the Toronto
Star. One special advantage of carbon
bisulphide is that it's vapor is more
than twice as heavy as air, so that in
woodchuck burrow it will follow
along the hole until it reaches the bot
tom, crowding the air above it to the
top. As the animal is likely to beFin
the lower part of the burrow, it is al
most certain to inhale the poisonous
vapor and be killed
The equipment necessary for this
sort of woodchuck hunt consists of a
bottle of carbon bisulphide, bundle
of old cotton or other cloth, a pail and a
spade. The pail is filled with dirt and
set near the hole ready to turnin; then
piece of cloth is held between thumb
and finger, saturated with about an
ounce of the liquid, and Immediately
thrown as far into the burrows as
possible. The pail of dirt is quickly
thrown into the hole, and the entrance
carefully closed. If there is more
than one entrance, all but one should
be filed in before the treatment. This
method not only kills the old wood
chuck, but destroys in humane man
ner the young in the burrow. 1t has,
too, the additional advantage that the
animal is not only killed but is buried,
and the hole is filled, so that consider
able time is thus saved.
1t should be distinctly understood
by everyone who uses carbon bisul
phide for any purpose that it is high
ly volatile, infiammable and poisonous,
and it is also highly explosive. With
any reasonable care in it's use, how
ever, out of doors, no ill results can
follow.

Is there anything to atop the accu-
mutation of these snow balls. Can
the same power and business abil-
ity and capital that controls all the
petroleum in the country by and by
control all the coal? Can it control
the railroad and the ocean-carrying
trade? Can it not buy up and hold
in one mass the agricultural and
the grazing lands of the new and
great states and the coal mines and
the silver mines and the copper
mines?"
But great as was the possibilities
of the accumulation of great wealth
by individuals, he did not fnd in
accumulations the same peril that
is found in corporate control ofsuch
wealth.
Mr. Hoar then took up the ques-
tod of trusts as they now exist,
pointing out what he conceived to
be their evils, as follows:
I. Destruction of competition.
2. The management of local in
dustries by absentees in the inter-
est of absentee capital.
8. Destruction of local public
spirit.
4. Fraudulent capitalization.
5. Secrecy.
6. Agreements for the private
benefit of the officials.
+ Z. The power to corrupt elections
and in some cases to corrupt the
courts.
8. The want Of personal respon.
sibility to public sentiment.
9. The absence of personal liza,
bility for contracts or wrong-doing.
70. The holding of vast proper
ties in mortmain, in the dead hand
if we may use the ancient phrase Of
the English language. But it has
life enough for all purposes of
power to serve the will that
YIELDS it. 1t is dead only to the
influence of any nerve which comes
from the brain or heart Of the peo-
pie.
