Representative Gandrud of this
county has introduced an anti merger
bill in the house. The dailies give the
text of the bill as follows:
''The consolidation of the capital
stock, lines, property, franchises, con-
troll or power of control of two or more
parallel and competing lines of rail
road in the hands Of any corporation,
trustee, agent Or representative of any
corporation, wheresoever located, is
hereby prohibited and made unlaw-
full "
If there is all there is to the bill the
railroads will have little to fear, as
there is no penalty attached for viola
ting the law.
The papers state that the intention
of the bill is to "reach the alleged
merger of the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern railroads." They
have evidently never heard that the
constitution of this country forbids the
passing of any ex post facto laws. If
the consolidation was not violation
of the law at the time it was made it
cannot be made so now.

While the republican newspapers
are going into OBSTACLES over the so
called Senator Nelson antitrust meas
ure, there is not sincere anti trust
congressman in the whole aggrega CATION
who does not pronounce the measure
mere pretext and snare, aud the re-
port that John D. Rockefeller has been
sending kilograms protesting against
the measure is publicly ridiculed by
republicans and democrats alike who
are sincere in their antitrust profess
sions. The Rockefeller Telegram" is
no doubt q fake, placed in circulation
for the sole purpose of making the peo-
pie believe that the Nelson bill is
feared by the trusts, and should en-
dear the Minnesota senator to the
hearts Of the voters. Again the Re-
view wishes to rise and remark that
our representatives in congress are
truly fine aggregation of frauds aud
fakirs-i. e., a large majority of them.

The Constitution In fraCtice

The theory of the constitution is that
the three departments Of the govern
ment-the legislative, the executive and
the judicialy-are independent of one
another. In practice the government
is not carried on in harmony With this
theory. The system Of checks and bal
ances does not operate us it's inventors
intended The president was to have
had the power of selecting his subordi-
mates; the senate, through the exercise
of the power Of confirmation, was to
prevent the appointment Of unworthy
men, especially Of men who might con-
nive with the president to usurp pow
er. In practice most of the presidents
subordinates are forced upon him. He
usually selects after consultation with
senator, who stands for the whole
senate, for he has it's power behind
him through custom which has grown
to be rule Of conduct, known as the
courtesy of the enate."-Century.

Fruit Seeds and ADDendicitis,

''Many very Intelligent people are
deferred from swallowing the seeds of
berries, grapes and other fruits lest the
Judgment of these small bits of indiges-
tibleness may induce til at dreadful &C.
cident appendicitis" says the Dietetic
Gazette.
''This fear is utterly baseless since
the healthy appendix is protected by
a valvular arrangement which pre-
vents even the smallest seeds from en-
tering it. It is only after Inflammation
has already destroyed it's normal pro-
lection thai any foreign substance can
gain access to it.
ITO feel compelled to eschew all
seedy berries and fruits is to seriously
curtail ones dietary, and it is entirely
unnecessary. In fact, the free and con-
slant use of ripe berries and fruits of
all kinds is one of the best preventives
Of this dangerous disease"

Judge Grosscup OF Chicago does not
trust legislation. He says:
''The measures before congress make
no change in the basis of corporate Or
ganizatior, nor do they provide
against over capitalization.
They serve no purpose to widen the
proprietorship of the country.
The publicity proposed is confined
to the gathering aud public alton Of
statistics, valuable possibly to the
speculator or the trained investor, but

Rafting at the window pane.

Like some plundering sprfte Of sin!
How he snarls when held at bay,

election in Appleton next month and
the Tribune says with bonded indebt-
edness of Sic, 900, outstanding orders
of "a 600, and 81, 600 to become due, is
amatter for serious consideration and
adds, ''If license is voted out this
spring, where is the village going to
get the money to pay the obligations?"

Appleton has always been q license
town. 1t has had the "help" from
saloon money every year of its his
tory. Yet it finds itself in such de-
plorable financial position. It is the
same old story-extravagance always
follows money that comes easy. Town
ships can do business without license
money; school districts can do it,;
counties can do it; the state can do it.
Why should it be impossible to so
conduct city or village affairs as to

the debt has been incurred for water
or light plants those plants should be
80 operated as to pay expenses and
leave q sinking fund to pay the debt.

Her face all tubbling over

A FEW WHY'S.

Why do many employers say their
clerks are a stupid lot and unworthy Of
their consideration!
Why do many clerks look with envy
on their employers and rage over every
correction or sharp word?
Why Go many perso II behave more
~cOurteously and kindly to outsiders
than they do to the oIacs they really
love the best of all?
Why do many men laugh at women's
lack of business ability and yet sheer
and rather look down on the woman
who shows she has some?
Why do many children resent any
thing their parents say and look on
them as bores and long to be grown up
70 al to escape from them?
Why do many rich folk look on their
poor relatives as being always on the
lookout for favors and 20 prevent the
poor relatives from giving them little
presents or being natural with them?
Why do many husbands work hard
for their wives and family, but never
think how the wife would appreciate
an invitation to the theater, a little din.
