is sore to say that he knows less
other. Bombastic demagogues Of both
parties have lied so much concerning
the tariff, and their lies have been SO
faithfully stereotyped, printed and
circulated from ocean to ocean and
from border to gulf that 1t is with
difficulty one discerns the truth. Yet
above the mass of contradicting
statements and statistics the one
fact stands out prominent and I'M
challenged that this country has en-
joyed it's most abundant prosperity
when protective duties have been
the most vigorously maintained and
that any actual or proposed tinker
ing with existing tariff rates, with a
view to abolish or lower the same,
has invariably brought about finan'
cial depression with it's ever accom-.
panying and consequent hardships for
the laboring class. The easiest way
to bring about a panic is to remove
the foundation Of our prosperity
protection. Reciprocity advocates,
no matter what political party appel
lation they lay claim to, are, in the
main, merely free traders disguised.
And the free trade pill, though coated
with reciprocity, will, If taken, have
the same bad effect as if such coat
ing were not there This reciprocity
covering which the free trade theory
has assumed makes an excellent
showing, but we should not forget the
fact that it merely hides a skeleton

M0RGan'S BRIEF
Argument Filed in the Northern
Securities Case.

Washington, Dec. 10.-A brief in behalf
of Messrs. J. Pierpont Morgan. Robert
Bacon and Daniel S. Lamont, appellants,
with others, in the case of the United
States versus the Northern Securities
company, was filed in the United States
supreme court today by Attorneys Fran
els Lynde Stetson and David Wilcox.
They declare that the so-called merger
was entirely lawful. and say:
These transactions have consisted
merely in the organization @ OF a lawful 1ll
sale and the purchase by it of property
lawfully salable. All acts done in relation
tiles company and to the purchase by it
of the shares of stock of the railway COM
panies and to the sale thereof by the
1.-The legal eect of the transaction has
been that the owner of stock In one of
the railway companies has sold the same
to the securities company and has re-
ceived therefor stock of the securities
company, which company owns the stock
not merely of one of the railways, hut
the stock of both. 50 that each individual
who has transferred his property to the
for something entirely different, namely:
an interest in a company holding stock of
the other railway company as wen; well II Is
this constituted sale of the property.
Other reasons for this position are the
following: No indirect or remote effect
of these lawful transactions upon COM
petition between the railway company
could bring them within the federal anti
make the statute unconstitutional, be-
cause it would deprive the securities COM
pany of it's property without due pro-
cess of law.
"As construed and applied by the cir
cult court the antitrust act is unconsti-
tutional in that it discriminates between
persons in the matter of property rights
and privileges on grounds that are purely
arbitrary and without justification in rea-

cended the authority of court under the
statute"
A brief in behalf of the Great Northern
road was fled by NJ. D. Glover, who says
that the stock of the Burlington railway
was acquired in order to give the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific access
to important productive centers, neces-
sary to place them on the proper footing
with other transcontinental lines. He as
serts that good service at low rates is as
sured by the arrangements. The unity
of ownership of their shares has not he
said restrained the commerce of either
and the extent to which such unity can
restrain It is as nothing compared with
the great increase in volume of interstate
and international commerce which was
intended and which will result from the
carrying out of the enterprise of the two
companies in the purchase of the Burling-
ton stock and the preservation Of the

TALKING IRRIGATION.
The Meeting at Garden City Is
Well Attended.

Garden City, Kan, Dec. 1o.-The West
ern Kansas Irrigation association con-
vened here Wednesday morning for two
days session with a large number of del
egates representing a goodly number of
counties of western Kansas. The morn
ing session was given to the organization
and the reading of reports and various
communications.
A very strong paper by Elwood Mead.
chief of the, bureau of irrigation investi
cation, was read, with his regrets at not
being able to be present. His paper was
regarded being very encouraging for
irrigation developments in western Kan
sas by the government. An address of
welcome was responded to by Captain
John H. Church of Dodge City and pres
1dent OF the state board of agriculture
A telegram from Gov. Bailey announced
that he would be present today. Senator

HAS MONEY AND LAW.
All Irrigation Scheme Now
Needs Is Time and Work.

Washington, Dec 10-Secretary Hitch
cock has transmitted to the house a
report Of the reclamation service show
ing the work done and in progress to-
ward reclai1ling arid lands during "the
season of 1902
The secretary says:
The director has stated that a prac-
teal application of the provisions of
the laws during the one and one-half
years of its existence has shown them
effective, and that SO far as can be fore
seen at the present time no further leg
islation is required, the present law hav-
ing been found to be of such scope as
to accomplish its purpose of reclama-
tion.
The report shows that while examina-
tions and surveys have been made in
all sections of the arid regions, Nevada
is the only state where actual construc-
ton has begun and Arizona the only
territory. In other states and territories
plans and specifications are in various
stages of progress and the work is be-
ing pushed. Criticism has arisen in
some quarters because the law is not
sufficiently elastic to authorize various
small projects of individual interests
and to permit more general distribu-
ton of funds throughout certain states.
What appears to be the slow progress
of work is also stated to be a matter
of criticism
The irrigation fund, accumulated from
the sale of public lands in thirteen
states and three territories to which the
irrigation act applies, now amounts to
a total of $16191,836 This fund has
been accommodating in the treasury since
1901.
The question of drilling artesian wells
has been one of considerable moment In
view of the fact that many persons have
impOrtuned for such work simply, says
the report, to develop the mineral re-
sources beneath the surface. A ruling
precluding such experiments has been
made on the ground that information
possessed by the geological survey on
penditure of the irrigation funds for
that purpose.
Large areas of the public lands have
been withdrawn from entry under the
pending further developments.
Contracts have been let for three Sec
tions of the work on the Truckee canal
in Nevada, and also on the Salt river
dam in Arizona The policy has been.
the report says, to divide the work into
small units, so as to engage a large
number of contractors and encourage
competition.
In many states radical changes in the
water right laws will have to be made
before irrigation projects can be under
taken under the act. Nevada already
has changed her laws in conformity
with the act. 1t has developed, con-
tinues the report, that the states hav-
ing the largest fund are those in which
irrigation is least important. A detailed
report of the field operations in pro-
gress is included in the report.

ments were voted upon and several OF
them adopted but just what they are
is not known. When asked if they had
anything to do with the rumor of
merger between the Santa F'e and Rock
Island, Mr.. Ripley said:
mo, they haven't. The only amend
ment of interest to the public was the
change in the date of the annual meet
ing of the stockholders. This meeting
will hereafter be held on october in
stead of in December. The amendments
had nothing to do with the operation
of the road. In your report of this
meeting you might also say that Price,
Waterhouse & Co. of New York have as
usual been selected as the independent
accounts of the company at the close
of the fiscal year. We also ratified the
purchase by the Santa Fe of the stock
and fthe Oakland & East Side Railway
company, of the San Francisco &
Northwestern Railway company, OF the
Phoenix & Eastern Railway company
and of the Oakland & Eastern Railway
company"
1t took the directors only about 20
minutes to dispense with the business
on hand. and P. l. Bonebrake and John
r. Mulvane, of Topeka, and w. H.
Diehl, of New York, were then appoint
ed tellsrS to inspect the proxies and
canvass the vote. These gentlemen re.
tired to another room and in about 80
minutes they returned their report, the
principal part of which is given above

bers.
Professor Robertson asserted that the
theory that the closing of the pores of
the skin would result in death is false.
He said that all physiOlogies which
made such an assertion were wrong.
The habit of taking dry baths was
rough towel over the skin. according
to DR.. Robertson, removed the natural
scales of the skin or the false skin.
This, he said, conduced to the growth
of bacteria upon the skin.
The doctor concluded with a touching
incident of a poor Eskimo brought
from Greenland to Boston, who had
never been i'll in his life. He was given
a bath, contracted pneumonia and died
in two days.

or Without Union Button.
Car Was Stopped and the
Trouble Followed.

Chicago Dec. 10.-In riot today
growing out of the recent strike on the
Chicago City railway. car was wrecked
by a mob of union sympathiztrs rs, who
furiously attacked the non-union. con-
ductor and motorman, badly injuring
both. The crew of the car escaped into
a nearby building where they were
guarded by the police. The riot oc-
CURED on the Halstead street line, near
Archer avenue
The riot was participated in by hun
dreds of men and boys. Forced to flee
from the car the nonunion men were
knocked off their feet and severely
pummelled. Struggling up again, the
victims fled in different directions, ,pur-
sued by the crowd. The mob. failing
to recapture the fugitives, returned to
the car and partially wrecked it. A pa
troll wagon load of police meantime res
cued the two nonunionfsts.
Traffic on the line was suspended for
nearly an hour and hundreds of passen-
gers were delayed. The non-union con-
ductor probably owes his life to Police
man John OHara who quickly grasped
the situation and in the nick of time
threw open the front door leading to a
private residence. O'Hara shouted to the
man to take refuge within Then the
policeman appeared at a window and
with revolver drawn, threatened to
shoot anyone who attempted to enter.
The trouble started when several of
the passengers, among them some wo-
men, refused to pay fares to the con-
ductor, who wore no union button.
The conductor announced that the car
would stop unless the money was paid.
At this several of the passengers
seized him while proceeding to the
front platform and ordered the motor
man to start the car. At first the
motorman refused but when one of the
passengers exhibited a revolver he
started the car.
He die not stop until Archer avenue
was reached when he leaDed from the

Mediterranean Squadron viii
Await Further Developments.

Washington, Dec. 1O.-Unless the state
department receives further advices from
Consul Davis. who had some trouble
with the police of A1exandretta, Asiatic
Turkey, which would place the matter in
a more serious light it is not the inten-
ton of the navy department to send a
vessel to that port. The Mediterranean
squadron at Beirut is now under orders
to proceed with its target practice as
originally planned, but the movement of
the fleet toward the West Indies will be
deferred for brief period. This is in
terpreted here to mean that while the
present understanding is not to have
one of the ships go to Alexandrettas it
has been deemed advisable to keep the
squadron in eastern Mediterranean wa
tiers, a short time longer for any ener-
gency that may arise, growing, out OF
the Davis affair. The San Francisco and
Brooklyn soon will leave Beirut for Port
Said where they viii take on a quantity
of stores. the supply ship Alexander hay
ing already arrived there with them.

al information concerning him was re-
ceived he was dismissed.

and a column of water six inches in
diameter spouted out to a height of 40
feet Sounding were made which failed
to find bottom. The flow is so great
that it is more than ample to supply
the entire needs of the city of Cheyenne
and it is possible a pipe line will be
