BANANA TRUST SQUEEZING
MINNEAPOLIS DEALERS ~ =, ! 4 COM ~
PLAIN OF THE TREATMENT
THEY ARE RECEIVING AT
| TRUSTS HANDS.

The banana trust is squeezing the doll
lars out of the pocketbooks Of Minneap-
oils fruit dealers.
The corporation commonly known as
'the banana trust Is the Fruit Dispatch
company of New York. 1t owns or con-
trolls the output, by contract, of all the
large banana plantations of Central Amer
lea, from which location all the best ba-
nanas are, secured. The fruit is sent to
Mobile and New Orleans for distribution
to points turnout the United States.
The trust this year manages to make 20
per cent more out Of the wholesale fruit
men Of Minneapolis than ever before. In
the first place, the price is now 10 per
cent higher than ever before; and second,
Minneapolis dealers are being made to
pay for fruit which becomes waste sjn
transit another 10 per cent.
The trust insists that all it's product
be sold by the hundredweight, free on
board New Orleans or Mobile, at which
points the fruit is weighed by represen-
tatives Of the trust. No matter what the
shortage in weight upon arrival in st.
Paul, the wholesale fruit dealer either
pays according to1the fruit trusts scales
or can't buy any more bananas until he
does.
Bananas for the Minneapolis trade are
to-day sold by the trust at 1910 per hum
dredweight. To this first cost the local
dealer adds SO cents for freight, and fig
ures on losing by waste at least 2,00l
pounds out Of every carload Of 10000
pounds. ss4

After graduation he began the study
of law in the Office of Hon. Albert>o
Charles of Seymour, where he remain
ed, spending the winters in teaching,
until April %, 1884, when he was ad-
mitted to the bar of Jackson county.
Immediately thereafter he formed a
partnership with his cousin, L. H Rey-
nolds of Greenfield, and entered upon
the practice of law in Hancock coun-
ty. This partnership continued until
February 1, 1885, when he returned to
Seymour and opened an Office alone,
where he has ever since practiced
without a partner From the time of
his return to Seymour he has been
fortunate in having large and con-
stantly increasing business, extending
over much of southern Indiana and
embracing litigation of every charac-
ter.
He has never held an elective Office
but was for ten years the city attorney
of Seymour, and has devoted himself
with great diligence to his chosen pro-
fession. At the same time he has
taken a reasonably active interest in
politics and received such recognition
of an honorary character as his party
locally had power to confer. He has
served as chairman of the county COM
mittee, and of the Fourth congression-
al district, and as delegate to the Re-
publican national convention in 1896
He is vice president of the Indiana
State Bar association. a member of the

The Dausman Ditch.

The Warsaw Times says the DauS-

the largest drainage scheme ever con-
templated in this part of the country.
1t reclaims thousands of acres of land
in KoSciuSko county and runs through
German and Bourbon townships in
Marshall county. About 1000 land
holders are interested.
The main ditch, which starts in
Jefferson township, Kosciusko county,
will be sixteen miles long. with one
arm three miles in length, beginning
near Clunette, and another arm mile
and one-half long. The terminus of
the big ditch is at point about eight
miles northeast of Plymouth at the
junction of the two forks of Yellow
river.
This is the ditch which it is pro.
posed to extend through Plymouth.

LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER

Let us once more impress upon the
citizen who hopes to vote that if he has
not yet registered he must do so today
if he would qualify as a voter at the
forthcoming election. Neither the fact
of having voted last spring, an affida-
Wit of residence nor anything else will
avail the man who has not registered
this fall A vote at the fall primary
election carried registration with it.
In this connection The GIob e
would urge upon the members of the
Democratic party the necessity for con-
tinuing the magnificent work done last
Tuesday in getting the vote registered.
On the last registration day the vote
registered was very largely Democrat
ic. This was proved easily by the re-
turns. There is still very consider
able number of Democrats not regis
tered. It is but necessary that they be
formance. Again we ask that every
Democrat who has registered eonsti-
tute himself a committee of one to pro-
cure the registration of another citizen
1t is obvious from the present regis
tration that the vote will be at least a.
large as at any election since the new
system requiring final papers was
made effective. This widespread inter-.
est in the campaign makes it the duty
of every citizen to qualify himself for
voting, to the end that the result of the
election may accurately represent the
sentiment of the community
Register today.

THE WAR AS AN x.RAY

War correspondents may continue
to make their moan and their employ
ers may continue to chafe at the Sc
crecy observed by the two fighting ma
tions in their military operations. but
the general public has no reason to
complain of the amount and the kind
Of information the war is furnishing.
1t is far more valuable information
than the war correspondents could fur
nish even if they were permitted to
disclose plans of battles and to de-
scribe those battles down to the small
est detail For the war has been as
an X-ray, turned, not on the two
armies, but on the nations themselves,
and both stand revealed today as the
outside world never expected to see
them.
But because Russia has succeeded
in concealing much from the eyes of
the world, the revelations that have
been made concerning her condition
have been the most startling and have
excited the most comment The skillfully
woven web of diplomatic lies which for
so long concealed the real Russia from
the world has finally been penetrated
and today every weakness stands pitt
lessly revealed. 1t is not surprising
that other nations should stand aghast
before this information which the war
has furnished. The bureaucracy has
heretofore been too canny to let even
hint escape of the real condition of
the Muscoyite empire and her bulk has
impressed as bulk always must i'm
press. But the war has demanded ac-
ton and action is the real test of
strength. Her efforts to meet the de-
mand would be ludicrous if they were
not both pathetic and menaeing. She
has moved blunderingly to avoid the
X-ray, but it is those blundering
movements that have permitted it to
penetrate.
So the public has no reason to conn
plain. 1t may not learn until long after
the war is over the exact number of
killed and wounded in each battle. It
may not be able to determine until
peace has been declared which is the
greater soldier, the Russian COM
mander-in-chief or the japanese. It
may not obtain the faintest inkling of
the strategicai Importance of the

Help From the Philippines


We cannot ina gine fair-minded Re-
publicans al proving the course of the
administration in calling upon the gov
ernor of the Philippines to help it in
the election. That government which,
was to. know no politics" we see now
that the Republican party regards as a
valuable political asset. Secretary
Taft's demand upon Gov. Wright, and
the latter's dutiful reply, have some
aspects that are comic, some that are
indecent. In one way, the exchange of
telegrams amounts to about this: Are
YOU making a mess of your work?
Taft" Il don't think I am. Wright" :"
But, in another sense, there is some
thing positively improper and offensive
in using several hundred dollars of the
-rblic money to pay for a Republican
campaign document. In other words.
what was predicted when we entered
upon our annexation of distant islands,

flung as a make-weight into the scales

ports are ordered so as to help the
party in power.-New York Evening
