Enactment Necessary.

The report says
 '"rhe enactment of the bill into law is necessary to give effect to the convention providing for reciprocal trade between this country and Cuba. This results not mere ly because the convention itself provides that 1t shall not take effect until the same shall have been approved by the con- gress but because the constitution gives no power to the President and the senate to make convention or a treaty changing the rates of revenue. That power is now expressly lodged in the congress. It Is not intended here to cite authorities Of advance resolutions on this proposition The records of congress abound with un- refuted arguments on the affirmative of this contention and the practice of con- gress has been uniformly in the same di- section.
 ''The President has deemed the subject of sufficient importance to convene an ex- traordinary session of congress in order that the treaty may become effective before the commencement of the harvest of the sugar crop in December.
 No Harm Will Result
 This legislation will result in no harm to any American industry. Articles, the product of this country, like the articles embraced in this convention now im- ported from Cuba, receive the very high est protection of any in the same sche- dule. The duty of sugar was placed above the protective point for the pur- pose of revenue. The house tariff bill reported expressly for a reduction in the interests of the reciprocal trade agree ment which it authorized the President to make The duty on tobacco has for years been much higher than any necessity re- quired, on account of the competition of Cuban tobacco. The reduction in this bill leaves 1t amply protected
 The report closes with an argument setting forth the advantages of both this country and Cuba which will result from a reciprocal arrangement provided for in the constitution.

Wild Roses

Rose setigera, our native prairie rose

the heart and has inspired since An
acreons time all great wrists to sing
its praises, says an authority, DR.. Dick,

teal Gartenbau,' and he calls them his
darlings and tells of his search in re-

is that the dwelling house should have
no more in it than is essential to com
fort and cleanliness The latter Is es-
peciaIly taken into consideration. for
the movement to throw off the rubbish
is in harmony with the modern view of
practical and improved hygiene in the
home.
Most houses occupied by the wealthy

things the majority of them entirely
unnecessary. The least furniture posi-

best the room filed with things can
not be kept any too clean and free from
dust. for the simple reason that it is
beyond the cleverness of the cleverest
servant to discover and renovate the

dust settles and where germs and mi
crobes hide The living room should
have a small number of the proper

aged to keep correspondents and en-

FIGHTING The TRUSTS.

The passage of the antitrust bill BY
Congress. the first step toward complete
regulation of great aggregations o.
capital for the monopoly of some line OF
trade, marks step toward the control
of the people over corporations whose
methods of doing business are opposed
to the best public policy. The weapon
which is to be used in this instance Is
publicity and with practically the same
provisions in the Littlefeld bill and the
Department of Commerce measure it
seems certain that the people viii know
just what the great companies are do
ing.
The Littlefield bill, which passed the
House a week ago without dissenting
voice represents the utmost in publicity
and is in fact the Knox bill. and so
must be taken as representing the adj
nninistration's views on that feature of
the campaign against monopolies.
The bill as passed requires corpora
lions hereafter organized to file re-
turns covering their articles of incor-
poration, financial composition, etc,
with the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion on penalty of being restrained
from, engaging in interstate commerce;
prescribes penalties for false returns |
etc. The Commission is given authority
in it's discretion to call for similar re-
turns from existing corporations doing
an interstate business. The Commission
is given power to compel the answer
TO questions and a fine of not to exceed
$4,000 is imposed for failure to obey the
Commission in this respect
Rebates by carriers is made punish
able with a fine of not less than $1,000,
and corporations violating the pro-
visions of this section are forbidden
the use of the instrumentalites of inter-
state commerce. Carriers are prohibit
ed from knowingly transporting articles
produced, manufactured or sold In Vlo-
lation of the Sherman act. In cases OF
no person is to be ex-
cused from testifying on the ground
tkat such testimony would tend to in
criminate him, but for such testimony
the witness is not to be prosecuted
The Circuit Courts are given jurisdic-
ton in cases of violation, and it is MADE
the duty of the district attorneys to IN .
stitute proceedings to prevent viola
tons, and individuals damaged by
vioiations are given authority to sue.
The success of the promoters of this

lition favorable to the completion OF

ROCKEFELLER TURNED DOWN.

1t has been favorite cry of the half
baked, unwashed political orator that
Republicans always are the friends of
capital as against labor interests. This
! has been made a slogan ever so often
and the presence behind the Democratic
band of such men as William NJ. Whit
ney and the late Senator Calvin Bryce,
certed leaders who seek a cry rather
than facts.
Now however comes a direct refuta-
tion, and with such facts beside it that
the people must recognize hereafter
that the dominant party of the nation
is not only the party of progress and
prosperity but also that of the people.
The passage of the antitrust bill is
one thing, the way in which it was
done a commentary on party integrity
and the sharp rebuke administered to
Trusts attempting to control or dictate
legislation must stand as conclusive
evidence as to the ranging of Repub-
Iicans on the side of the consuming
public.
John D. Rockefeller, the head of the
Standard Oil Company, made the direct
attempt to place his finger on the anti
Trust bill a week ago and the rebuke
came in the form of agreement to the
obnoxious publicity clause of the De-
partment of Commerce Law and unan-
inous passage of the Littlefield bill in
the House. The form of the attempt
at dietation is in itself insulting. Six
have received messages signed by
Rockefeller, of which the substance is
as follows:
I'VE are opposed to any antitrust
legislation. Our counsel, Mr.. ---, will
see you 1t must be stopped"
1t was not until Mr.. - arrived
that the Indignation of the Senators
was voiced and the frigidity of the re-
ception which awaited him was such
that he lost no time in getting back to
New York, and then came action. |
There may be even yet public ventila-
ton of the subject for some of the mem |
bers of Congress are righteously indig- |
nant. One Senator of long experience
said:
mo such formidable weapon ever has
been put into the hands OF one man by
another in any legislative contest as
was put in my hands by the sender of
that telegram. If necessary, will rise
in my place in the Senate and read it,
Then we will see whether any votes are
to be recorded against the legislation at
which these efforts are being directed"
