CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: Senator Smoot, of Utah. has
only to plead, with Senator Dietrich,
of Nebraska, that at the time he is
accused of having been a Mormon he
had not yet taken his oath as a sena-
tor of the United States. That ought
to confound all his enemies"
The Norfolk Landmark Dem) says:
1.-THE late Herbert Spencer in his will
inveighs against the metric system,
and no laughter is heard. Yet there
was great uproar over the Missouri
man who insisted upon having an ex-
preston of his confidence in Mr.. Bry-

The New York Times (Dem.) says:
There is no very good story that does
not carry a moral. The story which a
correspondent told I'm our columns yes
terday was a very good one. setting
forth how a friendly Indian brought a
gift of deer to the Pilgrim Fathers,
and how the Pilgrim Fathers, ascer-
tanning that he had killed the animal
on Sunday, proceeded to give him a
fiogging. after which they discussed
and enjoyed his venison. The tale has
more marks of interest than authen-
ticity, and carries. indeed. a strong
suggestion of being the handiwork Of
that famous Italian. Ben Trovato. But

joins to it rs excellent If the Demo-

Facts About the American Indians
Healthy Hair.

The American Indian, accustomed
from time immemorial to go bare
headed in all kinds Of weather is
never troubled with falling hair or
badness.
The close atmosphere caused by our
Civilized" headgear is Conducive to
the breeding of infnitesimal germs
which dig into the scalp and thrive
on the sap of the hair root.
The true cause of badness is Of re-
cent discovery and explains the nom
success of all hair-vigors which
treated badness as a functional dis
order.
Newbro's Herpicide is a direct ex-
terminator of the germ. 1t destroys
the cause and permits the hair to
grow as nature intended.

The Northwestern Railroad has Is
sued an order to its train crews forbid
ding the running of trains in faster
than schedule time, no matter what
the circumstances. If the train is be-
bind at a leaving point, it must stay
behind until 1t reaches its destination;
there must be no bursts of extraordi-
ped earlier in the run or lost by con-
meeting train. The order is based on
the theory that regular schedule time
is safest, ana that accidents due to
extra speeding are too costly in lives
and property. The order seems to be
based on common sense and a proper
regard for the safety Of passengers.

Jonathan Byrd, of Webb City, Mo-.
is convinced that there is much virtue
in abstinence from food. His physi-
clans had given him up to die from
rheumatism and dropsy. Byrd re-
solved that he wouldn't die, and
that his ills really grew out of indi-
gestion. In order to get the better of
the indigestion he concluded that he
would not bother his stomach by Civ
ing it anything to digest, so he quit
eating. For thirty-eight days no morseI
of food passed his lips. then he began
to take a little cruel, just to fatter
his stomach and tempt 1t along to
good behavior. And now he is getting
well. In addition to improving his
health, Byrd has found that cutting
off meals also saves grocer's bills. so
that both physically and financially
he has been benefited.

Senator Frye wants to know why
the United States government is ship
ping army and navy supplies to the
Philippines in foreign bottoms. Sec
rotary Root replies that it is because
foreign ship owners always underbid
American ship owners, and that it
would cost the government lot of
money if it were compelled to patron
lie American ships exclusively. And
yet, after next July, private American
shippers will not be able to send
goods to the Philippines except in
American vessels. After that date
there can be no competition, and the
American owners will be in position
to charge whatever freight rates they
please.

PUBLICITY AND TRUST EVILS.

The law provides that trusts doing
an interstate business shall make re-
ports of its affairs to the Department
of Commerce and Labor. The reason
of this requirement is that publicity
is believed to be a remedy for trust
evils.
1t is stated that the Standard Oil
Company has refused to make a report
of its business, and proposes to test
in the courts the right of Congress to
require such a report to be made.
1t isn't stated whether or not the
sugar trust has refused to comply with
the law, but it is known that the Of
ficials of that corporation believe that
publicity would be against its interests.
The president of it refused a few days
ago to give information about the
corporations affairs which some of its
stockholders desired. He said that
one stakeholder ought not to have in
formation that the others haven't.
In some remarks on this subject,
he said: mo better illustration of the
bad effects that come from making the
affairs of the corporation public can
be furnished than by the history of
the past few weeks or months. The
public has invested largely in stocks
of recently organized corporations, I'M
der the belief that they were possess
ed of property corresponding to the
amount of their capitalization, and has
awakened to realize that the items
making up such capitalization are in
essential respects so over-valued as to
wary"
From this it would seem that the
only protection the public has against
securities which are not worth what
they are selling for in the market is to
let such stocks alone. There is no
doubt that very full and frank reports
of the affairs of the United States Steel
Corporation have been published, and
yet, IL accounts are 20 be credited,
thousands of people have been practi-
cally beggared by purchasing it's stock.
At one time the stock sold above so
cents on the dollar, and it can hard
ly be sold for 10 cents now.
And while the steel trust was Civ
ing the public all it wanted to know
about it's business the sugar trust and
the Standard Oil Company were keep
ing their affairs as secret as the grave.
These secret trusts are paying their
dividends regularly and are in a -four
ishing condition. Hence it is being
urged that in corporation management
secrecy is better than publicity.

Chicago strikers are going to obey
the law in the matter of picketing
factories and other plants at which
there are Strikes that is, there will
be no more picketihg of such places
But another means TO the same end
will be employed; individual non-union
men are to be picketed. In other
words, according to the declaration of
a Chicago labor leader. the non-union
men will be annoyed in every manner
possible, until they join the union or
leave the city. His instructions to his
men embody the following: Make it
unpleasant for those outside the
unions; let them know that there is no
place in Chicago where they can rest"
He further advised that non-union
men be jeered, their wives tainted and
their children teased.
