This is joke on Mr.. Edwin Warfield

friendly interest.

THE WAYS of A TRUST.

Reports from Omaha, Chicago, KAN
sas City and New York tell OF another
advance in the price of meats, order
ed by the beef trust. Within the past
few weeks the prices have advanced
l to 3 cents a pound, until at present
the level is as high as it was when
the wave of Indignation against the
trust swept over the country year
or so ago. Indeed. some of the prices
are higher than for years. In New
York and Chicago hotels and restau-
rants are cutting down the size of the
steaks served or raising the prices
charged for them, and boarding houses
are advancing the price of board.
An Omaha report, meanwhile, let's
in food of light on the operations
of the trust. To consumers the trust
says prices must be advanced be-
cause of unfavorable conditions on the
ranches and grazing grounds while to
the producers it is asserted that there
must be a reduction because the sup
ply is greater than the demand. For
beef steers the trust is now paying
the producer 35 per cent. less than
last year. while for pork the price
paid is 40 per cent. less. At the same
time the trusts selling prices have
been advanced 10 per cent. for beef
and Is per cent for pork. On the
one kind of meat, therefore, the profit
has been increased 35 per cent. and
on the other IS per cent. The trust
squeezes at both ends. 1t forces
larger profits out of both the produc-
er and the consumer. 1t is in a posi-
ton to say must" to both parties,
and 1t says the word mercilessly. There
has been much talk about the forma-
ton of Independent organizations to
combat the trust and of the taking
of legal steps against it. How much
the octopus fears antagonism is seen
in the facts to which we have referred.

SUBMARINE sEARCHLIGHTs.

An invention is in its experimental
stages that, it is said will perhaps
eventuate in perfection that will rem
der vessels equipped with it proof
against the attacks of torpedoes or
submarine torpedo boats. A Hunga-
rian scientist is the inventor and
British naval experts are assisting
him in his experiments.
In many respects the scientists in
vention is said to resemble a search
light, but it's rays are projected be-
meath the surface of the water
Stranger even than this projection of
strong light beneath the surface is
the statement that the rays are capa-
pable of transmitting a pulsating cur
rent of electricity of such strength as
to explode the magazine of a hostile
ship or to stop in it's own destruction
the flight of a torpedo.
This story of so wonderful a discov-
cry is a challenge to the credulity of
scientific minds. Many will not accept
it. They may admit that experiments
are being conducted, but they will re-
gard the idea as but the fantasy of a
dreamer incapable of application to
the problem with which the navies of
the world are confronted-that of in
terposing some safeguard against tor
pedoes and submarine craft. Yet there
are many scientists whom the history
Of science has taught to scott at no
project that may seem strange and
impossible. 1t is declared that the
Hungarian has actually projected his
powerful light and sought out objects
beneath the surface, and that torpe-
does have been exploded by currents of
electricity transmitted a distance of
300 feet over the rays. There has been
no comprehensive explanation given of
the mechanism employed, however, and
scientists would seem justified in with
holding credence until they have some
demonstration of the truth of the
story. tft.i.
If the Hungarian is right and his in
vention is a success, he will cause a
| revolution in the worlds navies quite
as great as that which followed the
battle between the Merrimac and the
Monitor. AS much upon the range OF
| it's submarine searchlights and their
power to transmit the destroying bolts
as upon the range and caliber of its
guns would the efficiency of a war ves-
sci depend. Such a truth would rivaI

Boise City. was on a certain occasion
sternly reprimanded by the judge of a
court in that city because of alleged
contempt of court and in addition was
fined in the sum of $50, says the Sat

The next day, according to- custom
followed in the Idaho courts the judge
called upon Mr.. Dubois to occupy the
bench for him during the transaction
of some comparatively unimportant
business. After the Judges departure
from the court room Mr.. Dubois eXhib-
tied an instance of remarkable pres

been noted. The future senator said to
the clerk of the court:

NOT THE BAGGAGEMAN's FAULT.

Since the advent of railroads, trav-
elers have been swearing at the wrong
men, 1t is not the fault of the bag
gagemen that trunks are busted
and their contents spilled all over the
station floor, however strongly ocular
and circumstantial evidence may point
to that conclusion. 1t is true that
the baggagemen. are the agent that
do the smashing, but they are no more
responsible for that than for
the transportation of the trunk from
one point to another. General Baggage
Agent bearing of the Michigan Central
says so, and he is in a position to
know.
Having relieved the baggagemen of
the onus of the responsibility for
smashing, Mr.. bearing kindly indi-
Gates the shoulders on which it ought
to be placed. The presidents, direc-
tors and general managers of the
roads, he says, are the people really
responsible; they are the baggage
smashers in chief, and the people ought
to know it. Thus. if your trunk comes
back from a trip with lid off, the sides
caved in and contents mixed up
as with a hay fork, Chaun-
cey Depew, William K. Wander
bilt, James J. Hill, John Skel-
ton Williams, John NJ. Egan or
some other high official did it. How
does it come about? Well, it is this
way: Mr.. bearing says that if the
baggagemen had a better chance Of
promotion, if they were paid more
wages, if they didn't have to work so
hard, if there were more baggagemen,
if they were given more comfortable
cars, if they didn't have to work so
fast, and few more ifs, they would
be more careful in handling trunks
and traps. The railroad officials, be-
ing responsible for all of those ifs, are
logically responsible for the conse-
quences and therefore for the smashed
baggage. Isn't that plain?

Ohio veterans of the Union army
seem DESTROYS of re-opening the Civil
War. While veterans of other states
in the North and of all the states in
the South have evinced a disposition
to forget all bitterness, Ohio veterans
have shown by their attitude in the
Confederate grave decorating matter
and their protest against statue of
Gen. Robert e. Lee appearing in the
Hall of Fame that they do not recog-
nize that the war is over. Ohio soldiers
of the Union army were noted for no
patriotism and courage of a brand so
superior to that of the soldiers of other
Northern states as to justify them in
being an authority unto themselves as
to whether the time for the burial of
all animosity has arrived. other
Northern soldiers have forgotten; why
cannot those of Ohio?

CONTENDING FOR A PRINCIPLE.

EOL n Il liz
Mr.. Smith-John Smith of Rome, Ga.
finds himself much-discussed man
these days, all because of the fact, as
he claims, that he is contending for a
fundamental laws of the federal and
state governments guarantee to Amer
lean citizens the rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. In the
pursuit of liberty and happiness. and
in the exercise of the right of owner
ship of property, Mr.. Smith feels that
he is hampered by an ordinance of the
city of Rome, which provides that pigs
shall be excluded from the corporate
limits. Now Mr.. Smith has a nigh
regard for the gentleman that pays
the rent" Love me, love my hog"
may not be one of his notices, but he
insists that there shall be no discriIn-
ination against his pig because for
sooth it walks on four legs and grunts,
while other pigs on two legs ride on
street cars and occupy choice seats at
the theaters. Mr.. Smith can see
neither reason nor justice in forcing
the porker to be a suburbanite. He
holds that it is the privilege of the
so pleases and the swine has no OBJ
lection. Therefore he is contending ct
law for the right to keep his pigs
within the city limits, or anywhere
else he pleases. 1t is a matter of per-
sonal privilege, he says, a principle
that is worth fighting for, and he pur-
poses to fight it to the last ditch.
A stick1er for principle is always to
be admired. The man who is willing
to give up time and money for principle
has something in him that is worth
while, and he is worth arguing with.
But Mr.. Smiths principle, it seems to
us, is a little warped. 1t doesn't fit
the situation. There are rules of
health and hygiene that must be OBJ
served in civilized communities. and
these taboo close association with pig
sites. The domiciles of the creatures
may not be offensive to Mr.. Smith, but
they are to a very great number of per-
sons, and in this country we must bow
to majority rule. In denying Mr..
Smiths pigs the right of urban resi-
dence, therefore, the authorities of
Rome are also contending for a prin-
ciple, high and righteous one. Were
the pig privilege granted to Mr.. Smith,
another man would demand a COW
privilege. a third a goat privilege. a
fourth a sheep privilege, and so on,
until the city would be turned into a
stock yard and the people would have
to move into the country. Majority
rule is a fine principle. and the anti
piggers are in the great ma jority in
Rome.

Ex-Governor. DO you ever read that
