patch in cotton, and by fertilizing and
cultivating intelligently realized a net
profit of $42.60 per acre.

A Word for Parents

In an article in the April Delinea-
tor on Growing up with one's Chill
dren, which is filed with sensible
advice to mothers. Mrs. Theodore
W. Birney has some excellent re-
marks about the treatment of chill
dren that are grown. Many parents
will do we'll to take to heart the
following paragraph
"There isone thing parents should
recognize: that their children are
growing up and that their authority
as such grows weaker every day,
while their influence wakes stronger
in proportion as their government
has been wise, tender and just.
Many a household is discordant
because parents insist upon treating
their grown sons and daughters as
though they were still children.
They issue commands, criticize and
find fault, forgetting apparently
that the season for training is prac.
tically ended, and, we're it not, such
methods would result in more harm
than good. 1 know a family in
which are two daughters, both past
twenty-five, and a son in bis
thirties they seldom, if ever, leave
the house without being questioned
as TO where they are going, wheE
they will return. why they go, why
they wear such a garment instead Of
some other, wouldn't they best TAX
umbrellass are they warmly oi
ooolly enough dressed, as the easl
may be, etc., etc. Personal liberty
is such a precious possession, AMI
life is 80 much sweeter and happier
in households when there is mutua
confidence and where trivial persona
questions are regarded almost as 4
discourtesy."

Every one will be interested in
watching the progress of the Russo
Japanese warand also in the political
campaign about to open for the cleo
ton of a President. In order to
accommodate the opinions of those
holding with either of the great
parties we have arranged TO furnish
with the PRESS either the New York
Tri- Weekly Tribune for So %, OF the
Tri- Weekly New York World for
$500. With the PRESS and either of
above named papers you can keep
yourself fully informed in both local
and national and world news. 1t is
a good thing to inculcate the reading
habit in children and to have them
interested in and informed of current
topics. The world is now forming
history which they viii find useful
to know in the years to come and it
would be of great advantage to have
them learn it cotemporaneous with
the making.

The Antitrust Laws Altogether the
Work Of Republicans

49, - -"
II the following statement Of
facts had originated in a republican
newspaper they would probably be
characterized BY the democrats as
political clap trap gotten up for
campaign purposes. but, coming
from such an eminent democratic
paper as the New York World they
must be accepted by the party as
true and the credit given where it
properly belongs. That organ Of
democracy says:
/. The antitrust law was framed
by a republican, was passed by o
republican House and a republican
Senate. was signed by a republican
President.
2. The law remained a dead letter
on the statute books during the
entire second term Of Grover Cleve-
land, a democratic President
Through those four years Of demo-
cratic administration all appeals an,
all efforts of the World to have th,
law enforced were met with sneers.
ieers and open contempt from q
democratic attorney general, Rioh-
ard Olney, who pretended that the
law was unconstitutional, and who
would do nothing toward prosecut-
ing violators of it.
3. The first effort to enforce the
law was made by Theodore Roose-
welt, a Republican President. The
first attorney general to vigorously
prosecute offenders and to test the
law was a republican attorney
general, Philander c. Knox.
4. The decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, given as
finality from which there is nc
appeal, upholding the law as per-
fectly constitutional and absolutely
impregnable in every respect, as the
Word for twelve pears constantly
insisted, was due to FIVE Judges
every one of whom is a republican.
8. The dissenting minority of the
court included every democratic
Judge of that tribunal to wit: Chiei
Justice Fuller of Illinois, Mr.. Justice
White of Louisiana, and Mr.. Justice
Peckham of New York. All these
distinguished democrats not only
voted against the constitutionalitJ
OF the law but denounced it as {
danger to the republic.
6. Under these circumstances i
does not seem probable that thu
democrats can make great capital il
seeking to monopolize the anti-trus
issue and charging the republican
party with the crime of being owneC
body and soul by the trusts.
It.is just as we'll to record SOM
plain truths, however unpleasant o
surprising.

THE aUARIEs BILL
A Non-Pertisan Measure to Protect
Government Timber Lands

a NOn-Pertlsan measure 70 FroCecC
Government Timber Lands
A sharp fight marked the opening
OF the campaign in Congress to Sc
cure the passage of the Qaarles bill
which provides for the repeal Of the
timber and stone act. Senator Glib.
son called the bill up in the Public
Lands committee and moved that
the committee report the bill to the
Senate. The battle was on inan in
stant, the members of the committee
lining up sharply for and against
the blll The chairman, Senator
Hansbrough, Immediately assumed
vigorous opposition to the consider
alton of the measure and refused to
bring the question to vote. This
unprecedented action caused ex-
treme bitter feeling. It quickly be-
came apparent that a majority of
the committee favored the reporting
of the bill.
Several senators characterized the
chairman's 8 position as most unusual,
arbitrary and unparlimentary and
Senator Berry threatened to take
the bill in onto the floor of the Senate
and ask the committee be discharged
and that the bill be placed before
the Senate.
Such bitter fight over a strictly
partisan measure is regarded as
most singular and it is freely as
serted that there must be some
strong incentive to warrant men in
going to such unusual lengths in
their efforts to prevent any action
whatever upon or even discussion Of
a measure recognized as one which
will save the public lands of the
west from private absorption. A
majority of the committee favors
the Quarles bill and will undoubted.
ly insist upon getting it before the
Senate. Even should any compro
mise measure develop majority in
the Public Lands committee, the
minority will bring in a report which
as one senator stated, will be an eye
opener to the Senate and to th'
country as to the legalized lanC
frauds and land grabbing practices
now in operation in the western
states under these three laws.
