AsPERsING THE PURlTANs.
An English Clergyman lntimates They
Were No Better Than Should Be.

London.-For aspersing the memory
of the Pilgrim Fathers and putting
them in the same category as the con-
victs of Botany Bay, rector Of the
Church of England is getting some I'M
commonly sharp criticism here in his
own country, where the fame OF the
Puritans is naturally less great than
it is in the land which they helped to
settle. The churchman whose name
is Hay, and who is in charge OF the
parish of Plymptree, has published in
a local magazine an article on the
beginnings of nations. In the course
of it he says:
Experience shows that the seed of
progress lay hidded even in the refuse
heaps of the past; those who found
the laws of England too strict for their
love of license and left their country
for their own country's good in the
Mayflower had large share in the
making of the great American nation,
and in the same way it was chiefly
from the convict settlements OF
Botany Bay that there sprang the
great Australian commonwealth which
the Mother Country now proudly vel
comes as an equal in the empire"
Commenting on this announcement
a London newspaper says:
"The association of the Pilgrim
Fathers with the convicts of latter
day by this clergyman is either
specimen of how far ignorance will
carry ignorance, or if it cannot be
screened by ignorance, it is a speci-
men of something worse"

KNOX ON TRUSTS
HIGHLY GRATlFIED WITH THE
WORK OF CONGRESS.
SATISFACTORY TO The ADMINISTRATION
Enough Has Been Done, He Thinks, to
Test Thoroughly the Formation of
Combines-A Long Stride in
Advance Accomplished.

Washington. Attorney General
Knox, who is known to have prepared
the important features of the anti
trust bills now enacted into Jaw, on be-
ing asked how they were regarded by
the administration, said:
The legislation affecting the trusts
passed at this session of Congress, is
satisfactory to the administration and
the prompt responses to the Presidents
requests is highly gratifying. A long
stride in advance has been. accom-
plished and the promises of last fall
have been made good.
"The giving and taking of railroad
rebates is now prohibited by a law
capable of effective enforcement
against corporations as we'll as indi-
viduals, and the courts of the United
States are clothed with jurisdiction to
restrain and punish violations.
"The act creating the department G.
commerce vests in that department
complete authority to investigate the
organization and business methods OF
corporations engaged in interstate and
foreign commerce, and to that end 10
compel the testimony of persons hav-
ing the desired knowledge. The legis-
lation is concise in its terms but COM
prehensive in its scope. Under its pro-
visions fair opportunity will be af-
forded to test the effect upon the tell
dency towards industrial monopoly Of
its guarantees Of no favors for the
great producer as against the small
one.
Discretion is lodged in the President
as to the publication of facts useful to
be publicly known and wise admin
istration of the law promises that
which is helpful and nothing that is
harmful.
"The law to expedite the hearing Of
cases and giving an appeal directly to
the supreme court from the court of
first instance assures within a reason
able time authoritative decisions upon
important impending questions, in the
knowledge of which future legislation.
if necessary, can be confidently framed.
Upon the whole the situation is
eminently satisfactory and is the re-
suit of concessions, notifications of
views and forms of expressions upon
the part of many earnest and thought
full men who have endeavored within
a brief session to meet rational pub.
lie demand in a rational and effective
way"

MONARCHY is IN DANGER,
Mr.. Waterson Foresees the Downfall
of Germany and Grtat Britain.

Binghampton, N. Y.-Colonel Henry
Watterson, speaking at a dinner given
him by the Binghampton Press club,
said:
Fifty years from to-day Germany
will bear the same relative position to
the United States that Holland does
now. Fifty years from to-day, unless
the United States places sustaining
hands under John Bulls arms, God
knows what will become of him.
"The Monroe doctrine or republican
ism are no longer on trial; it is mon
archy that is in danger. The President
Of the United States has to-day ten
fold more power than the king Of Eng
land or the emperor Of Germany.
Accordingly it may be well for us to
sit down and see what the Monroe
doctrine is. We have said that no
European power shall acquire territory
on this continent.
IF we are going to protect every
little mongrel nation in order to up
hold the Monroe doctrine, why let's
pay Germany her debt and tell her to
get out. But If we start on this
course we Will need an enlarged navy
and large army. II owned this
government would take the Isthmus
OF Panama and blow out a canal a mile
wide, so as to let the two oceans flow
together. Then would say to Eng
land, Take all Of Central America
that you want would greatly pre-
fer to have England and Germany in
those countries than the mongrel gov
ernments that are there now"

THEY AGGREGATE s165,oOO.
Forgerles of His Name Not Agtatlng
Mr.. Morgan Any.

New York.-Additiona details con-
corning the forgeries of ]. P. Morgan's
name, alleged to have done by De
Bosdari, the London art dealer, have
been made public. Mr.. Morgan, when
abroad last year, purchased Of De Bos-
dari large bronze figure for $4,000.
Mr.. Morgan gave his personal check,
drawn on the London banking house
Of ]. s. Morgan & Co. The check was
duly presented and paid. 1t seems,
however, that Mr.. Morgan's name was
forged to letter in which the banker
was made to say that he had given his
note for the bronze figure and other
objects of art. 1t was the existence Of
this letter that caused De Bosdari's
downfall. So far as known here the
amount of the forged Morgan notes
exceeds $165,OOO. Mr.. Morgan is not
acting in the matter, which concerns
only the banks that accepted the notes
and some of the forger's friends, who
indorsed the notes to make them
more readily negotiable.

1t is well understood that Mr.. George

the existing bureaus will not take

CREAMERY PROFIT
A STEADY INCREASE IN THE IN
COME FROM THE HERDS.
PROFITABLE BUSINESS FOR FARMERS
Improved Methods of Handling Milk
onFarms and Of Transporting to
Swimming Stations Makes
Them More Permanent.

Abilene, Kas.-The owners of the
creameries in the central and western
part of the state, which includes the
larger number of stations, are making
the largest profits from their cows in
the history Of the industry in Kansas.
Owing to the cheap food for the cattle,
the large demand for the product, and
the improved processes in manufacture
they are receiving a generous return
from their herds. A short time age
the creamery was merely a resource
for the farmers who had been suffering
losses of crops and were in financial
straits. They considered the COW as a
makeshift to tide them over the hard
years. That time has passed for Kan
sas and Nebraska. The creamery has
become a permanent institution and is
common part of the development Of
progressive communities. There are,
including the skimming stations, al
most as many creameries In some
parts of the state as schoolhouses.
The greatest test Of the creamery in
dustry in this state was in July, 1901.
The milk supply, which had been up to
the usual standard in June, fell sud
denly to one-third or one-fourth, and
the creamery managers who were de-
pending upon their sales to pay The
the milk bills and to keep up the ex-
penses of the creameries were in diff
culties. But better times came and
the industry is again in healthy con-
dition, with the largest demand for
material, butter and cheese that has
been known in years.
In the sos milk was paid for by the
weight. The farmers took the big cans
to market and they were weighed On
the creamery scales. The price then
ranged from fifty cents to $l.4O a hun
dred pounds. Then came the test
and the payment by the amount of but
ter fat in the milk. The percentage is
approximately per cent of butter fat
and is found by instruments which are
constructed for the purpose. Many
farmers have a tester at home to de-
termine which cows give the best milk,
The cow that gives large quantity of
poor milk is not profitable. The low
point for butter fat was reached in
June, 1897, when the farmers received
only twelve cents a pound for it. 1t
has never reached that point since.
Last month the price in this county
was twenty-nine cents, the highest for
December milk in sixteen years. One
creamery paid $4,000 in cash for it's
milk, and another half as much more,
giving the farmers of this county $685.
600 in cash from this source alone in
midwinter. The products of the dairy
cows in the last ten years have been
remarkable. The totals for the state
are:

1902 900. ....... ...... 16,275,O6O
Last years product was $S,545, 296,
the largest in the states history. With
the increasing acreage of alfalfa and
kindred forage crops and the better
ment of the herds there is every indi-
cation that the improvement will con-
tlnue. There has been much change
in the farmers end Of the industry IN
the last three or four years. The
wagons with rows of milk cans are sell
dom seen in town and in a short time
will be a thing of the past. The cream
alone is now brought to the creamery
by most of the farmers. They own
hand separators, machines that are run
by small treadmills. A large dog or
calf furnishes the motive power. The
cream alone is easy to handle and in
stead Of taking team and driving
slowly to the station. the cans of
cream are put in buggy and the trip
made in a short time. Then the skim
med milk 1t at home for feeding
calves.
Agents are finding the selling Of
hand separators a very profitable bus
mess now and are travelling in every
county east Of the Tooth meridian. Last
year one company sold 1000 separa-
tors at an average price Of $780, This
year it expects to sell 1900. Other
companies are doing as we'll and the
farmers of the state probably paid in
the last twelve months fully x million
dollars for these implements. They
are reyolutionizing The business and
are making It much more pleasant and
satisfactory for farmers. The rail-
roads are running refrigerator cars on
their passenger trains to carry the milk
and cream to the central stations, 50

short grass country may sell his
cream In Topeka or St Joseph. One
family pastures its cows in Colorado,
milks them in Kansas and sells the
cream in Topeka.
