THE BOSS BUSTER.

ON Harmon Wilson's Book Troubles Of v
Man,
He was worn and sad and weary,
And his face was marked by care;
He was looking tough and seedy-
Perfect picture of despair;
And he answered as asked him
OF his troubles on the way:
I'm a Buster of the Bosses
And haven't much to say"
'rm Buster of the Bosses,
l am hot upon their track;
can see their trail before me-,
And I never will turn back
I'm impelled by lofty motives,
AS hump from day to day;
I'm Buster of the Bosses,
But haven't much to say"
On he passed along his journey
Der the weary rugged path.
When tried to question further
l received glance Of wrath.
And straight on into the shadows
Shadows dim and drear and gray
Went the Buster CT the Bosses
Who had nothing much to say.

Washington. July 21.-Acting under
instructions from the President. Attor-
ney General Moody is preparing to
wage legal warfare against the beef
trust. There are conflicting reports in
administration circles as to when the
battle cry shall be sounded in the
courts. At the Department of JUS
tice it is said that the appealed case of
the beef trust will be called for hear
ing i'm the Supreme Court of the United
States next December. BY that time
the elections will have been held and
the result of the decision is not expect
ed to have any political effect.
On the other hand there is an under
ground impression that President
Roosevelt is contemplating a grand
stand play against the beef trust,
through the agency of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, which Is to
be pulled off just before the November
elections. 1t is contended that the
President, with the assistance of Com
missioner of Corporations Garfield. has
been at work for some time past gath
ering ammunition with which to attack
the beef trust. Just what the course of

Washington. July 31.-Maj. Gen. Cor
bin, who is to be in command of the
military forces during the coming ma
neuvers at Manassas, has been here
for several days giving personal super
vision to the arrangements of the pre-
liminary details. He expresses himself
as highly gratihed at the general in
terest in the maneuvers shown by the
state troops. which are to participate.
Gen. Corbin has more than a mill
tary pride in the outcome Of the ma
neuvers. IT Is his personal ambition
to show his critics that although he
has been frequently alluded to as The
man behind the desk" he has the mill
tary ability to conduct q great en-
gagement In the field.
At the War Department II is said
that there is a mistaken idea as to the
provisions regulating the participation
Of state troo3s. There have been
many applications to increase the num-
Der Of troops to take part in the ma
neuvers. There Is a limited appropri-
alton TO defray the expenses OF the
demonstration. and the Secretary Of

procedure will be is a profound secret.
1t is understood that Mr. Garfield has
been operating under the provisions of
a resolution calling for an investiga-
ton of the beef trust, introduced at the
last session of Congress by Represen-
tatibe II. d. Martin of South Dakota.
Such information as has been gath
cred during the investigation has from
time to time been handed to the Pres
tdent, so that up to date, he knows
what the investigation has revealed
He also knows whether it would be
good politics to spring the trap before
or after the election. Some of the
friends of the administration, who are
greatly troubled at the outlook, because
of the various labor agitations, are ad-
vising the President to withhold any
action he may have in contemplation
until the "Ides of November have
passed.
In the meantime the meat famine is
spreading and the general public is
looking to the President to give re-
lief by executive action or otherwise.
There are so many strikes in progress
at present that the President hesitates
to inaugurate what may develop into a
general crusade against organized la
Dor. and at the same time he is anx-
ious to display his absolute indifference
as to the interests Of the various
trusts and combinations involved.

beyond the limitations fixed by law.
There have been many requests, which
II would have been a pleasure to grant,
but Acting Secretary oliver and the
members of the general staff realize
that their hands are tied in the matter
of extending appropriations In several
instances concessions have been made
in behalf of states willing to bear the
additional expenses incurred by in
creasing the quota of troops TO be rep
resented.
The board of officers to assist Cen
Corbin I'm the maneuvers is this week
engaged In making a personal survey
Of the proposed battle ground. The
members OF the board will return to
Washington, go into executive session
ana prepare their report to be submit
ted to Commanding General Corbin.
All of the members of the board are as
enthusiastic on the subject as Gen.
Conbin. and the event promises to sur
pass anything of the kind ever before
attempted in this country.
1t will ibe remembered that Gen.
COrbin and Gen. Leonard Wood at
tended the military maneuvers Of the
German army a few years ago as the
representatives of the United States
army. That experience will doubtless
enable Gen. Corbin to originate some
new ideas In the mobilization and
handling Of large bodies Of troops.
