1T IS NOT A SHAM FIGHT.
The Battle Agaiast the Trusts IL q
Very Real Struggle NJ
Washipgton.

There is humorous side to this
trust battle in congress. The re-
sponsibility being with the republi-
cans, the democrats are on the alert
Tor any party capital the contest
may afford. Their first proposition
was that no action of any kind would
be taken. The trusts were declared
TO be masters of the situation. They
would be able to put a stop to what
ever might threaten them with
trouble. Now the tune is changed.
The republicans having moved
against the trusts their measures are
ridiculed. We are told that if all
OF them were rolled into one the
trusts would have nothing to fear
1t is n sham battle. No trust is in
danger. No trust really is alarmed
The present clutter is mere stage
play. When the curtain descends
trusts and politicians walk off to-
gether arm in arm, both sides might
lily pleased with the entertainments
From another quarter comes the
gestion-with distinctly the trust
tang to it-that the president is be-
ing played upon by enemies within
his party; that he il being cheered
ON against the trusts by men who
seek his overthrow; that they would
enjoy nothing so much as seeing him
continue to grid at men who control
millions of capital and who are Ger
tain to resent it next year. either at
the republican national convention.
or later, at the polls. Which, of
course, is to represent the president
as Il mere tool, and these republi-
can friends of the trusts as prepar-
ing to go over openly or secretly to
the democracy next year.
These little humors- entertaining
in their way-are of no serious con
sequence. says the Washington Star
Qnd). They agree with those who
see nc force in the measures under
consideration. They do. Their activ-
ity here j. not bogus. They are
most earnestly trying to defeat the
presidents recommendation to con-
gress by every means in their power
As for those republicans who may he
playing the game Of the trusts now,
and are displeased with the prCsi-
dents course, they Will be forced
next year, so far as trust interests
are concerned, to choose, as it were,
between the devil ana the deep sea.
Both parties will declare against
trusts, and both candidates for the
presidency will commit themselves
unequivocally on that subject. What
will il profit trust republican,
therefore, to leave his own party, or
sulk in his tent. when the other party
Will be appealing for votes on anti
trust lines?
The situation upon tie whole is
promising for Legislation that will
count. 1t may not cover the case
as thoroughly as could be desired,
but il should help materially TO
strengthen the hands of the govern
ment in dealing with a very difficult
problem.

Problem With the Farmers.

In the opinion of The Waseca Journal
Radical farmers must use more labor
saving machinery to take the place of
farm help whenever it is possible to do
so. The problem of getting competent
farm help is becoming more perpleXing
each year. Ten years ago good farm
hands could be had for SIS per month,
while at present S25 and even as high as
$50 is being paid. And at some seasons
help cannot be had at any price. 1t would
appear that the price now paid for farm
labor with board, lodging and washing
added would attract plenty of help, but
such is not the case. The country boys
who ninety times out of hundred are
better off on the farm are leaving coun
try life for the railroad and factories
and city work and the worst of it is that
when they get taste of city life they
seldom return to rural life. Thousands
of able bodied young men in our great
cities are making a bare living, while
they could at farm labor save enough in
few years to begin farming for them
selves.
The farmer is confronted with his
troubles the same as the balance of the
human family.

ACUTE INDIGESTION

PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE.
Every Sufferer will Recognize the Symp-
toms Described by Miss Rolling,
Former Sufferer.

,
Former Sufferer.
Healthy and rosy checked, looking as
though she had never known a sick day,
Miss Helen Rolling has nevertheless
passed through intense suffering. To
reporter who called at her home, No 267
South Washington street, Columbus,
Ohio, she said:
"Two years ago 1 had an attack of
acute indigestion, accompanied by ner-
vous troubles and dizzy spells. 1 lost in
weight, my complexion became pale and
Sallow, slight eXertion made me breathe
hard and could not walk any distance
without getting all tired out. I became
alarmed and sought medical aid, but the
doctors gave me no lasting benefit and /
continued to grow worse. My stomach
could not digest even the simplest and
most wholesome food, and dieting did
not seem to help me. And was so tired
and worn out all the while
cit was DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People that cured me. read all
article somewhere telling what these
pills had done and began taking them.
Relief came almost Immediately. kept
on taking them and my color came back,
/ could eat again with relish and with
no fear of distressing consequences. 1
began to feel strong and active and in
short time was restored to perfect
health"
What DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People did for Miss Rolling they
will do for others similarly afflicted as is
proved by thousands of cases ON file
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure stomach
trouble by their tonic action, building
up the digestive organs and enabling
them to do the work that nature in
tended them to do. Artificial ferments
and predigested foods weaken the stom-
ach in many cases. Medicines should
not do the stomach's work but should
put it in condition to perform its natural
functions. A diet book giving useful
information will be sent free OH request
by writing to the address below.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are sold at fifty centsa box or six
boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, and

Welcome the Decision.

That merger decision meets with not
only the approval of the general pub,
lie, but in railway circles the opinion
is hailed with delight. This expression is
found in The Railway Age, an authority
which is unquestioned. 1--WE violate no
confidence in saying that, in railway
circles generally, as distinguished from
financial circles, the decision Of the court
is welcome" says The Age. Among
them there is a conviction that ''the
steady unifcation of railway properties,
while it may have served the ends of
economy has served to limit also reason
able ambitions, to check improvements
in practice and advances in scientific
achievement" 1t has checked a move
ment whose end would have been "a
holding company to take over all the
railways in the United States. At the
same time the decision has postponed
indefinitely the growing agitation for
government ownership of railways"
Here is a strong statement from The
New York Financier: ''The country has
been brought to the point of nervous APP
prehension by reason of the unchecked
issue of securities that are such in name
only. :. =. The debauch of the last
several years is ending. Let us hope
it viii bring nothing more serious than
financial headache. The antitrust act
may be heroic remedy, but the excuses
INDUCED in since 1897 demand its USE
The majority of railroad men welcome
view with Mr.. Williams, president of the
Seaboard Air Line system, who express
ed himself as being satisfied that when
they come to study the matter careful
ly railraid men and men of all classes,
not only in the south but in the coun-
try generally, except those whose ambi-
tious schemes are directly hindered, will
be united in the opinion that the decision
is good law, good sense and for the adj
vantage of all legitimate interests and
the country's welfare. 1t could
not have been healthy or safe situation
if a few men could have sat in their
offices in New York city and controlled
the railway systems of the entire coun-
try" And he welcomed ''the promise
of continued fair competition"

Concentration of Responsibility.

Discussion of municipal government is
always an interesting topic, and just at
p present MAYORS of cities and others who
have to do with municipal affairs are in
session in Detroit talking matters over:
Among others who had something to
offer was c. G. Brown of Indianapolis,
who spoke of the government of his
own city Mr.. Brown said:
'The government of the city of Indian
apolis, since 1891, has been an excellent
example of the concentration of respon-
sibility in one person. The municipality
is business proposition and has moth
inc in common with political parties OF
either state or nation, whatever may be
the necessities of practical politics. As
such it should be administered on bust
ness principles 1t is a very common
business principle that there must be no
division of responsibility The theory
of the government of the city of Indian
apolis varies little from this. The stock
holders (voters) elect once in two years,
instead of once year, as in the ordinary
stock company, the city council as the
legislative authority and the mayor as
the executive head. The council does not
have all the power of the ordinary board
of directors, since it does not elect the
MAYOR and does not determine the policy
of the administration nor the method of
carrying it out.
''The ordinary political administration
of a municipality desires the greatest
possible division of responsibility.
Its safety under the too common ma
nipulation ow public office Tor private
ends is in this division, for the consequent
ces OF ineOmpetency and dishonesty can
seldom be placed exactly where they
belong, and those who are shrewd enough
can retain their control This is not
possible in Indianapolis. The response
bility for failure, either from incom
potency or dishonesty, is definitely fixed
The autocracy of one man power has not
developed in Indianapolis. The political
boss seems to have even less hold than
in the cities with greater division of re-
sponsibility, and the size of the indie.
pendent vote is such that ne must APP
proXimate very closely to the ideals OF
the better class of citizens, or his adj
ministration is displaced at the next
election. The voters are very free in
their choice of candidates and vote very
largely with reference to municipal condi-
tions and without thought of political
party lines"

Front street, where there are none for
two blocks.
Aid. Coy said that some lights are
needed on Glenwood avenue.
Both requests were referred to the
lighting committee.
Superintendent Seeger of The Ameri-
can Development company said that he
had prepared list of places where more
lights are needed. The lights on Front
street are too far apart, and he would
put up and maintain three or four lights
free of cost until such time as the COUP
Gil was satisfied that the additional
lights are needed. 1t was agreed that
the lighting committee meet with Mr..
Seeger
AID. Kleinschmidt said that more lights
are needed in various parts of the city,
namely Sixth street. The city should
be better lighted, but he would like to
know the cost. There are lights out in
the country that could be moved
Aid. Mckinley said that two lights
are needed in Columbia park addition
Before other parts of the city could be
named the council adjourned. The ex-
pense of lighting the city is now greater
than it ever was before, and if the
council is going to have money for bet
teringith streets it will have to 90 slow
about adding to the large lighting con-
tract.l The council could put in an end
less number of lights if it was to try
to satisfy everybody.
