poration or individual to control the
food which human beings must have,
the clothing they must wear, the fuel
they must burn, the implements they
must use and the prices the people
must pay for these essentials Of life.
More than this, it consists in the power
of a single corporation to control the
market of the great agricultural prod
ucts of our people and it's ability to fix
the price thereof. When this is per-
mitted, men are no longer free.
"The Republican party has shut off

why not remove the protection they
enjoy by reducing the tariff upon the
articles which they manufacture to
that point which will force them to sell

Publicity ana wolves, Teeth.

Publicity and Wolves Teeth.
II any of us lived in a region where
wolves abounded, we should laugh to.
scorn the suggestion, however high the
source from which 1t came, to appoint
a commission to go out and examine
the age, size and strength Of the
wolves teeth, and that would be more
farcical than the assertion that pub
licity" is the remedy for the trust evil.
If we do not desire to kill the wolves,
let us at least pull their teeth, so that
they can no longer ravage our focks.
And we shall pull their teeth the mo-
ment we deprive them Of their privi-
sleges.-Hon. Robert Baker.

GENESIS OF THE TRUSTS.
1t Is Found In Monopoly-The Four
Primary Causes.

1t Is Found In Monopoly-The Four
Primary Causes.
Seldom have the causes of trusts
gresham Elect Robert Baker of Brook
Ign in a speech at the Credit Mems as
ISOLATION dinner on Jan. 90. Mr.. Baker
said:
"The genesis Of the trust is found in
monopoly. There are four primary
causes which produce monopolies.
They are the tariff, railroad rebates or
determinations, patents, the private
ownership of natural resources. No
trust can exist without one Of these, it
Is Insecure unless it has the second or
fourth, but it reaches it's highest form
and becomes im%pregnable where all
four exist. Each Of these causes is an
abrogation of the principles upon
which this government is founded,
which asserts the existence Of inalien-
able rights, among them being equal
right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. Neither liberty nor happi-
ness is possible to those who are the
victims of a trust buttressed by all four
elements. If the people retain a part
Of their liberty and some Of their hap,
piness, it is because the trusts as yet
control but a part of the necessaries Of
life. The more the trusts are organized
and perfected the more the lives of the
people are menaced, their liberty re-
stricted and the less happiness is pos
sible to them. We may not fully dis
Germ all that is involved in the consum-
nation of the trust idea, but all who
study the subject are agreed that it
will gather force and momentum and
go on to it's logical conclusion, an all
powerful trust controlling other trusts,
unless the causes which create them
are removed, so that individual initia-
tive can again be exercised"

Purity In Politics.

The presidents appointment Of Ad-
dicks Byrne, with the recognition
Of the Addicks corruptionists which
this implies. is offensive to the Repub-
licans Of the United States senate, who
ordinarily can stand most things If
done in the name of the party. And
the president, who is thus rebuked by
a Republican senate committee, is the
anne man who was posing only a few
years ago as the champion Of purity in
politics and Of a n%onpartisan civil serv-
ice!-Louisville Courier-JournaI.

The Other side.

Republican papers and politicians
have taken especial delight in holding
up to condemnation and ridicule Sena.
tor Tillman of South Carolina, espec.
tally on the negro question. With all
that has been said and published along
this line it might be we'll to consider
another phase Of this man Tillman on
this same question. In a recent senate
speech wherein the South Carolina
senator was opposing the proposition
to place the southern negro OF an
equal with the white man, Tillman
said:
II want to cay to you-and l say it
with all the sincerity Of my nature
that l do not hate the negro.
II was nursed by a black nanny.
I have on my farm in South Carolina
today q negro man Of about my own
age, Joe Gibson, who has been with me
thirty years. He has charge Of nv
keys and Of everything I possess there
in the way OF q house, furniture, horses
and carriages and everything for a
farm Of 200 acres, worth some $4,000
or ] 5000.
II trust him implicitly. He cannot
read Or write. He has got a wife who
is as trustworthy Al he is"
Later on he said Of the proposition
of the African Methodist Bishop Turn
O that the negroes should be induced
to 60 to africa: "How many OF them
want TO 60? I do not know, n d.,
certainly, there is no law to make
them 60, and congress cannot pass one
Joe does not want to go-my Joe. I
do not know whether I belong to joe,
orsJoe belongs to me. Anyhow, We
have been together for thirty years,
and We have agreed to liye together
until one or both OF US die, and when l
go, II I go FIRST know that Joe will
shed az sincere q tear as anybody. I
would die to protect him from injus.
tice or wrong"

Coal Tarin

Why did the Republicans take the
duty of coal If, as they tell us, the for
eigneT= pays the tariff tax? And why,
IL the people pay the tariff tax, do the
Republicans wish the duty to go back

monster coal trust? Those are the two
horns of the coal tariff dilemma. Take

Gratis: are well pleased at the object

The Problem Of the Mississippi.

The Mississippi River is one of
Americas great problems. Upon
leyees and bank protection alone the
government and the states have spent
over $50, 900, 600, and the terror of the
floods is as great as ever From Mis-
Souri, to Louisiana men are now on
guard day and night TO protect their
homes, and in one at least Of the
states it has been necessary to release
the convicts and put them at work on
the leyees.
1T the great drainage area of the
Mississippi combined with the char
acter of the soil through which it
flows that makes 1T SO troublesome.
There are four large and well-defined
drainage systems, stretching from the
Rockies to the AlleghanieS, that find
their outlet through it. Any one of
them can flood the lower river at
freshet time. Two or three combined
bring ruin. The silt forever drifting
down from the mountains fills the
bed Of the stream, and as the bed rises
the leveeS must rise with it. New
high water marks are made, and the
pressure If the floods becomes great
and greater.
What shall be done for the river to
replace the hopeless leyee system?
Forestry reserves in the mountains,
impounding dams at the headwaters,
great reservoirs in the St. Francis
basin in Missouri and Arkansas to hold
the overflow, all have been suggested.
Efforts to develop complete system
of control are, however, yet to come.
1t has been truly said that the man
who masters the Mississippi will be
one of the great benefactors of his
Herald.

An Ominous Name.

Gov. JEFF Davis, of Arkansas, is in

the state. A committee from the
legislature has been appointed to in
vestlgate his conduct. The specific
charges against the governor have
been made public. Somehow the
name Of jeff Davis is the synonym of
disorder and disaster by whomSoever
it has been borne. 1t has made trou-
BILE for the country, for communities
and for individuals. The chief dis
unioniSt bore it, brave union general

commander, and now the governor of
Arkansas is in a condition Of decided
unrest. What's in a name?-South

This is all Right.

William Jennings Bryan delivered
his lecture on ga Conquering Nation"
to large, appreciative and delighted
audience in the College Auditorium at
Valparaiso on Thursday evening. He
was introduced by H. B. Brown, presi-
dent of the Valparaiso Normal school
"a democrat, by the way, who re-
fused to support Mr.. Bryan for the
presidency in 1896 and 1900. The
distinguished oraSor started out by
showing the value of an ideal and it's
power to alter for better the course OF
a human life. He said that a nation,
like an individual, should have high
and ennobling ideals and that nation
which aimed at the highest good need
not ever pass away. He thought
that honor and integrity and love of
ones neighbor constituted the meas
ure Of greatness in an individual. The
same rule, he said, should hold good
in regard to a nation. These views
are eminently sound and merit general
appro7al.-South Bend Times.

Vetoed ThIrty.Eisht Bills.

Governor Durbin has finished bis
part of the work of the legislature
and has gone to Anderson for a short
rest. He signed 24s bills and We
toed thirty-eight. The copy for the
acts Of 1908 is now being rnshed to
the state printer by Frank 1. Grubbs,
Deputy Secretary Of State, and will
probably be ready for publication
about the last of May or the first of
June. The acts OF 1901 contained 266
bills, but the acts this time will be
almost as voluminous.
The governor signed Senator Parks S
bill, providing that county commits
Sioners shall make an allowance of 30
cents day for care Of dependent chill
dren who are sent to orphans homes.
Representative Branch s bill, author
izing the school board of Martinsville
to issue bonds not to exceed $40, 900,
was vetoed, but afterward it was re-
called and signed.
