ONLY CURE FOR TRUSTS.
Senator George G. Vest Says ii is
Tariff Reduction.

Below is brief synopsis ofSenatol
Vest remarks in the senate on the
trust evil and his argument that the
tariff revision is the only cure;
The greatest menace that threat
ems this country to-day is in combi
nations OF capital that have monop'
oily for their object.
The argument OF theprotectionists
that equally great trusts exist in Tree
trade England is false, absolutely.
No monopoly can exist in great
staple OF commerce where COMPETE
ton is open to the world.
The first step in an honest attempt
to correct the evils from which we
suffer is to remove the protection
the tariff gives the monopolies and
force them into world competition.
The protective tariff is intemutual'
ity OF greed. Let any attempt be
made to remove the protection afford,
ed one industry that leeds on protec'
ton will cry out in pain.
The accredited author OF the Ding
lev law admitted the rates were
unnecessarily high, yet the Dingley
rates are now held sacred and their
continuance is demanded by the inter
ests that have CAUTIONED on them,
Refusal to reduce the tariff rates
leaves congress with but weak weap-
ons with which to fight monopoly,
The act Of 1850 represents the
limit of constitutional authority OF
congress to regulate trade between
the states.
Resort to the simple subteriuge OF
selling goods to second party and
discovering knowledge of what became
OF them after they left the factories
will at any time render the so-called
Sherman act insufficient to cope with
trust.
The Attorney General may have
resources Of which | know nothing
but, as one of the authors of the act
do not see how he can conduct sue
cessful prosecutions under the law.
The difficulty, il not impossibility
OF dealing with trusts through rem
edial legislation being established
does it not seem reasonable that thu
wisest course would be to cut off thu
nourishment that has enabled then
to grow to such ungovernable size

At the meeting of the committee it
Is said that in the last three months
20 eases have been discovered where
men have been working under assumed
names and using cards that had been
given to them by the original EN-

the men caught had only been in the
country a short time. Indication

be noticed the color of the mans
hair and eyes, his stature, the length
of his feet, forearms and thumbs,
the size of his head and ears and any
distinguishing marks or blemishes

The decision of the commission was
reached after the street cleaning de-
partmcnt officials had conducted a
rigid inquiry into several cases where

of these man working under an as

the magistrate holding that no law

Washing on Sunday Illegal.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec 31.-lt has
been definitely decided that it is de.
cidedly against the law in South
Scranton to wash or hang out
clothes to dry on Sunday. Miss
Belinda Welsh discovered an unre-
pealed law dating back to 1894 for
bidding manual labor on Sunday.
She has as neighbors Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Harowitz. On Sunday Mrs.
Harowitz washed and hung out the
clothes. Miss Welsh last night had
her before Magistrate Howe, who
fined Mrs. Harowitz and warned her
not to offend again.
Mrs. Harowitz said in her defense
that she did not see the distinction
between running the trains and keep
ing stores open On Sunday and doing
ones own laundry work.

plain that the strongest sentiment Is
in favor OF free text books.
Prof j. L. White. OF Brookiield,
said: "The only solution OF the ques.
ton is to do as all progressive states
and cities have already done, give
free books to every child in the estate.
1t was evidently the intention of the
trainers OF our state constitution to
make education in Missouri as free
as the air We breathe. Education in
our state is free in name only. Alaw
that forces poor, helpless children tc

very inferior book is vicious The
logic of the free school system CALI
Just as much for free books as foI
free teachers, free blackboards Gl
other necessary equipment
This is the whole argument III {;
nutshell.
The case for free books is strength
ened by the experience of ten states
the most progressive in the country
where the system has been adopted
and in every on. OF them the expert
ment is an acknowledged success
No community that has ever tried i
