Editor Miller's Lost Opportunity.

In an interview published in a
Des Moines newspaper, Editor Mil
Ter Of Waverly tells some things
about his connection with the recent
invasion Of this county by anti
Hearst emissaries. He failed how
ever, to make his interview very
interesting reading, by failing to
tell whose money he and his as
sociates used in their futile attempt
to defeat Hearst instructions in
Delaware county. Some contend
that the money was contributed by
the republican national committee,
while others insist that it came di-
rectly from the trusts.

the country.
It was conceded that the New York
representative and editor had accom-
plished more to enforce the antitrust
and interstate commerce laws than
the entire staff of the department.
With but one dissenting opinion
Mr.. Justice Brewer-the supreme court
reversed the United States circuit
court for the southern district of New
York and ruled that the coal oper-
ators must bring their contracts with
the railroads before the Interstate COM
merce commission VIXEN ordered to do
SO. Recalcitrant witnesses. members
of the coal trrst. who deiied the au-
to testify. can MISC he compelled by
this decision TO so upon the witness
stand and answer ft'cs4iai:s
President Bner and his trus. ussoci
ntes have been brought within the OPP
Grafton Of the federal laws which they
repeatedly and insoIently dete,. hy the
unrelenting persistence of w r
Hearst, who instituted proceedings I'm
der the interstate commerce lars iii
behalf of the people. who were com
PEELED to pay unjust aXactions in pur-
chasing fuel.
Following the big coal strike of 1902
w. r. Hearst brought the now famous
coal trust case before the interstate
commerce commission on a complaint
alleging that the coal companies and
their allied railroads were unjustly
discriminating against consumers. Dur
ing the hearings trust witnesses re-
fused to produce their contracts and
also declined to answer questions by
Clarence ]. Shearn, attorney for the
complainant, w. r. Hearst.
Hiding behind the great power Of
their wealth and depending upon off,
cial friendliness. the magnates and
their agents obdurately Haunted the
authority of the commerce commits
sion. The commission carried the mat
ter to the United States district court
Of New York, and Judge Lacombe sus-
tanned the trust magnutes in their de-
NAL to let any light be thrown upon
their unlawful methods.
The effect of the Hearst victory can
not be overestimatcd. for under the
| opinion of the court the interstate COM
merce commission can now proceed
| with its investigation of the GOAL trust.
When during the investigation OF the
coal carrying roads before the inter-
state commerce commission the coal
trust magnates refused to answer ques.
Il tons and produce certain books and
contracts called for by counsel for Mr.
Hearst, the commission carried the mat
ter before Judge Lacombe of the Unit.
ed States circuit court of the southern
district of New York, and Judge In.
combe sustained the contention Of the
coal trust magnates, holding that the
questions asked by counsel for Mr.
Hearst were Irrelevant" and were moi
permissible under the interstate com
merce act, but would be under the
Sherman antitrust law, and with this
latter act the commission has no juris
diction.
From this decision the interstate
commerce commission appealed to the
supreme court of the United States
and the supreme court has now decided
in Mr.. Hearsts favor. Not in many
years has case so important to the
people been decided by the supreme
court of the United States SO soon aftel

There is a Russian proyerh that.

There is Russian proverb that,
God is good, but the car is far
off" meaning that the emperor does
not know the miseries of his people.
AS a matter of fact, he does not know
what goes on in his own residence.
1t is said to be actually true that in
the huge winter palace, which is as
big as a pyramid, the minor officials
turn penny by letting out the top
rooms and attics to colonies of
moujiks and their families. The
car never goes to the attics. No
official is likely to peach" about
another's populations for fear of be-
ing reported in turn himself.

"see how they grow DER field and heather.
Your lives to bless. your hearts to cheer"
A lily grew Of rarest beauty,
1t bloomed from early morn til late;
For blooming seemed o pleasant duty,
The lily's name was Anna Kate.
Our dewy morn 10 SYLVAN bower,
While blooming In this vale below,
An angel came and plucked the flower,
An Easter lily white as snow.
Thong now she blooms by Gods good pleasure
In his Celestial garden fair,
Her memories cheer us without measure.
And fragrance fingers on the air.

William A. Wiley has been reflect
ed to his fortieth annual term as sup
erintendent of schools in Terre
Haute. When he first took charge
there were sixteen teachers; now
there are 2l2. For thirty-nine
years, through all the many exciting
contests for political party supre-
macy in the school board, which is
chosen by the city council, Mr..
Wiley has never failed of reelection.
He says that perhaps he will retire
at the end Of the present term.
Grandchildren Of former pupils are

W. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner of Minnesota, has
decided to make war on such summer
drinks as are tinted with harmful
coloring matter. This action is the
result Of a special investigation OF
soft drinks on sale in the twin cities.
The department found that much of
the strawberry, pineapple, cherry,
raspberry and other fruits sold with
ice cream and soda water were high
ly colored with coal tar and aniline
dyes.

Cleveland a Hoodoo.

Judge Parker was having nearly
everything his own way in Indiana
up until Cleveland came out in an
interview in the Judges favor.
Since then the Hoosier democrats
have been tumbling over each other
to get out Of the Parker camp. The
Indiana county conventions up to
last Saturday had instructed 1O2
delegates for Hearst and 6G for Par.
ker. Hearst made his great gains
on Saturday.

Every republican naner !,

Every republican paper in the
country is badly disturbed on ac-
count of Mr.. Hearst's increasing
prospects Of success. Some of them
have already passed the disturbed
condition and commenced to purify.
If these enemies of the democratic
party believed that Mr.. Hearst could
be easily beaten, they would do all
in their power to help him. But
they know that such is not the case,
and their fears are making them
frantic.
