Republicans and Trusts.

How easy it Is for member of the
official family of Il Republican presi-
dent to nowadays drop into the service
of the trusts directly lie leaves the
cabinet Attorney General Griggs did
so, and there is no doubt that the pres
ent attorney general will do the same
They both have similar trust leanings.
The Iatcst member of the cabinet to
Join the trust brigade is ex-Secretary
Elihu Root He left President ROOse-
veIt's cabinet Feb. !. and on April
the New York Journal of Commerce
records him as appearing for the
Northern Securities company the day
before That newspaper also quotes
him as saying in court that he had TO
appear in the federal circuit court at
ST Paul next Tuesday" and on being
questioned he said: Il am going 10 OPP
pose Mr. Harriman'S application. /
am counsel for the Northern Securi-
lies company" That company is the
railroad merger that the supreme court
has just decided is Illegal, and the APP
pcarance OF Mr.. Root for the merger
so soon after leaving the cabinet shows
how near President RoOScycltS cabi-
net are To the trusts and corporations
the moment they are severed from
their official duties 1t would hardly
be expected for the ordinary man TO
believe they were not inScnSble to
trust and corporation influences while
still officially employed and paid by the
people 10 look after their interests.
What Il hard game the people are up
against in their fight against the trusts
and corporations when their own serv-
ants, whom they. or Il Republican pres
ident, have selected, are such favOriteS
of the trusts that Immediately these
servants are foot loose the great cor
pOratiCns have them at enormous sal
aries, If your servant in private life
suddenly left you and took service
with your adversary you would justly
conclude he had been all the time
friendly with those who were your en-
emies and very probably had been in
their pay before he left your service.
There are others in the presidents
cabinet whose antcccdents if employed
in private life would lead their en-
ploycr To keep his weather eye open.
Attorney General Knox was Il steel
trust lawyer before the president dis
covered him. Postmaster General
Payne was Il railroad president and
charged with all kinds of miSdoings
when receiver for the Northern Pacific
railroad. Then there is Money Loancr
Shaw. who for some inScrutablc rca-
son was made secretary Of the treas
ury. He has caught on 10 the Wall
street game and thinks he is now one
of the biggest tOads I'm the puddle. lie
is first class fIkir. and the president
should keep him under close obscrva-
ton. 1t used To be different wht
these highest officers Of the govern
ment were selected for their watchful-

i asserted that this man. although he
has not kept an honest bee i'm seven
years. regularly sells more honey than
any other bee man in the Delaware

No doubt these allegations Will sur

commonly looked upon rs iuccrrupti-

of industry. Indeed. il was from the
bee that. man first learned that indus

hand in hand: that without honesty
there would be little industry. and
without industry there could be- no

several months under professional
treatments, but the remedies prescribed
were of no avail, and l was gradually
becoming worse, my face was dread

hair. At last, my wife prevailed upon
me TO try the Cuticura Remedies and l
gave them a thorough trial with the
most satisfactory results. The disease
soon began TO disappear and my hair
commenced 70 grow again. A fresh
growth of hair Is covering my head,
and my limb (althOugh not yet quite
Curcd) is gradually improving. My wife
thinks so highly of your remedies that
size has been purchasing them in order
to make presents to other persons suf-
fering from similar complaints, and,
as President of the Bible Women's
Society, has told the Bible women TO
report if any case should come under

Sam Keller, who was known to near. ly every body in this end of Mohave county, died at his home on Beale street last Thursday morning. He had been ill about two weeks, but no one thought his illness would have a ser. ious termination until Wednesday af- ternoon, when he collapsed and re. mained in a semi unconscious condi. tion until death came at 4:3O Thursday morning.

E. church yesterday morn ing at ten o'clock, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, of which or, der he was a mem Der, his home lodz ze being at Gaylord, Kansas.

A cowboy known as "Kid" Brooks

A cowboy known as "Kid" Brooks was mangled by the cars in the King. man yards last night and when found was dead. The man told com panion that he was going to catch freight out and it is supposed that in attem pt- ing to get on the train fell and the wheels passed over his legs, cutting them off close to the body. His cries of agony were heard by those living in the vicinity, but they mistook them for those of drunken Indians. The re. mains were taken in charge by the coroner and inferred in the public cemetery. George Davis stated that he knew deceased since childhood and that he was an inoffensive fellow, but very noisy when drinking. He had been drinking quite heavily yesterday and probably to this is due his death. His parents are supposed to be living at San Saba, Texas, where message was sent notifying them of his death. Three years ago Brooks rode in the cowboy tournament at Dallas and was con. n.idered one of the best riders in the event.
