or course this is merely campaign
thunder, but some may be foolish
enough to be misled by it.
There may be beef trust" but is
there?
Do these big competitive firms,
each striving for business, really en-
ter into daily agreement on prices
Is 1t feasible, is it possible? Do the
farmers, the brokers or the dealers
agree ON the price OF wheat, corn,
oats and whst-not every day, and fix
the uniform quotations in the daily
reports? Has the Democratic party
ever become hystericsl over wheat
trust hallucination or an oat combine
Aren't -four, eggs. butter. poultry
and such things quoted ct uniform
prices every day just as beef, bacon,
ham and lard? Has the Democratic
party ever flung any fits over an egg
trustl
As to the "beef trust" controlling a
universal necessity of life" is beef
a necessity? II it is, is the particular
beef sold by the so-cslled "beef trust"
necessity? Can't people get it else,
where?
Do the packers raise their beef? IL
they don't, they must buy it, From
whom do they buy it! Are those per-
sons compelled TO sell Can't any one
who has the price buy live stock,
slaughter it, and go on the market
with beef, bacon, ct al?
If the packers, by reason of their
greater facilities provided wits their
greater capital, are able to undersell,
who Is the worse for it? Certainly
not the vast army Of consumers. Who
is it that raises all the howl about

The HUMAN SIDE
An Estimate of Theodore Roosevelt.

From The Reader Magazine for June
Mr.. Roosevelt thinks, but he thinks
quickly. And he is patriotic to such
all extent that every drop of blood
III his veins elows with love of coun-
try. If he has made mistakes in mat
ters Of great moment, those mistakes
have been the result of zeal for his
cOuntry's interests: and he has many
defenders among the most conserva-
tive men in the nation, who affirm
that he has not made any serious mis-
takes. While not egotist, he is ex-
tremely SOLICITORS to deserve the good
opinion Of those whose favorable
thought is worth having. At the
time Of the Spanish War his friends
urged him to stay at home. The coun-
try was in no danger; he had large
family to support, and his income
was not great.
~ met him on Pennsylvania Ave
nue. said one of these friends, "and
asked him if he were really going to
the war;
"Ges.' he replied; "I've talked
about fighting so much that if
didn't seize this opportunity of life
time, I should make myself ridiculous
for ever after.'

ANTlSPOONlNG SOCIETY.
Kisses Rated at So Each at Cornell
University.

University.
An "antispoOning society" is the lat
est creation of the women of Cornell
university at Ithaca, says the New
York World. The new coed Organiza-
ton aims to discipline the Cornell men
and to teach them the rights of a CO.
ed. The provisions of the bylaws
provide for system of fines for viO-
lations Of the principles of the society.
If a Cornell man calls at Sage col
lege-thc dormitory whore the goods
liye-the girl whom he asks for is fined
25 cents. If she permits him to see
her the punishment is increased to so
cents. The next step is that from
which the society derives it's name,
for if she is caught "spOOning" with
her caller the fine is doubled and
amounts to 81. If she should be so
indiscreet as to allow him to kiss her
and so unskillful as to not conceal
that happening an underlined bylaw
provides for a fine of 81.
There are many quiet forest walks
about the Cornell campus, and for en-
joying one of these with a Cornell
man the unhappy member Of the anti
spooning society is fined 81. For q
country drive the same punishment is

TRACTION line
NORTH Of Us
MR.. CASSATT ENGAGED IN Sc
CURING RIGHT OF WAY
BETWEEN
WILLIAMSBURG
AND RICHMOND
He is Not Out to Fool the People
But to Build a Road.

The williamsburg Independent of
this week says:
The people throughout this Sec
ton are becoming deeply interested in
the present traction line project
which is being so successfully worked
by Mr.. Cassatt. He is now engaged
on the right of way between this
place and Richmond. Those who are
So anxious to know when the road
will be built, must take into consider
alton the fact that it requires consid-
cradle time and labor to build a rail
road. At this season Of the year, it
would be utterly impossible to secure
an adequate force of men and teams
to do the work. Most of the common
labor must be secured in a city like
Cincinnati or Chicago, and about the
only time this labor is open for con-
tract, is in the early spring or winter.
Of course the farmer with his team
and other teamsters will be called in
to service as soon as the season ar
rives when they can leave their pres
ent duties and take up other work.
1t is possible that some grading may
be done this year, but to think Of the
road being completed is absurd. We
have the best of assurances that the
road will be built as soon as the rea-
sonable conditions and circumstances
will permit. The promoter Of this
line is not working any OF the fake
rieht-of-way rackets, such as "blue
print' delays. etc, but is giving the
people solid business proposition

PlayinE bridge by Mail.

An innovation in the game of bridge
is to play it by mail. Partners in diff
ferent cities having been arranged, the
four select an umpire, who deals four
hands and mails one to each. The
game then proceeds in the usual way,
each player communicating his play to
the others through the umpire. 1t is
not necessary that the players should
be aware of each others identity until
the contest has been ended.
