NEW TRUST WILL FIGHT PACKERS.

A Chicago dispatch says plans for the organ
izatlon of a stock-raisers' combine, to embrace
the farms and ranches in the central and west
ern country have been launched in Chicago.
The COW man and the sheepman are to dwell
together in unity, and the hog man contented
third. A prime aim will be to see that the
packers do not continue to carry off the lions
share of the profits on meats. A central CON-
mittee representing the various livestock in
terests will introduce that harmony which is
understood to be euphonism for trust.
James Hagenbarth, the president of the Ma
tional Livestock Association elaborated the
plans, which, he says, conform to scientific
latter.day lines"
''Friction costs money in economics as we'll

In all forms of forgetting God, there is no

lover of God who is not lover of man. We

we stand for all that will uplift and ennoble.
If we stand for men, we will stand for universal

stand for honest men and truthful men in poll

These are some of the things to stand for, and
standing for men is good enough for platform
to live on, and good enough for an epitaph
when we are dead. And it pays.

George was for the laborng man. Wendell
Phillips stood for the black man. Jesus and
Luther stood for all men. If we can't stand
for all men, we can stand for some men; we
can stand for our own manhood; we can stand
for our own community-our own s:ate-our
own nation. The greater the action, the
greater the growth; and little acorns grew
great oaks.

How much had Charles Reade accom-
plshed at the time when Mrs. Seymour
came into his life? He had devoted eighteen
years to the study and practice Of dramatic
art and OF literature. The net return for
this outlay had been the play Of Ladies'

the close Of 1852, he met once more Laura
Alison (now Mrs. SEYMOUR. who thence
forward reigned alone for more than a
quarter Of a century, until her death in
1879, which was quickly followed by his own.
Before relating the incident which-began
the most important epoch of his life, or
indicating the remarkable influence which
Mrs. Seymours profound bat stainless
attachment exercised on his career as a
dramatst and a novelist, we may do well
to pause for a moment and reproduce some
OF Reade's opinions concerning contem-
porary men of letters-opinions expressed
with discrimination; but. for the most part,
with sympathy. instead Of with the pun
gency that might have been expected,
The authenticity of these comments is
vouched for by the author Of this volume,
whose tr,lstworthiness no reader is likely
to doubt. We are told that OF all his con-
temporaries Reade yielded the palm TO

acknowledged as his master. Next, for

1909. No man who unquali6dly
disbeliey es in bounties ought &c
pretend to be Republican.
The Pocatello Tribune's next
proposition is that whatsoever the
legislature promises, the people are
morally bound to fulfill. Shade oil
Daniel Webster! The Pocatello
Tribune does not put it in exactly
that language, but that is what it
means if it means anything. 1t
says: 1.-THE State promised" How,
when or where did the State prom
Use? Through the legislature, at
Boise, last winter, is the only ans
wer. The last expression OF the
sovereign people Of Idaho will be
found in their constitution. The
editor of the Pocatello Tribune is
probably one of the sovereigns who
promulgated and ratified that Con-
stitution. He now declares that
he never took much stock in boun-
ties,-does not believe in them.
Will he please tell us what he
thought he was doing when he vot-
ed on Section of Art VIII of the
State constitution? Did he think
he was voting to authorize the leg
islature to give bounties or did he
think he was voting to prohibit the
legislature from doing so? He says;
"We hardly think that it will be
argued that the State has no author
ity to give a bounty" Why, bless
your soul, no. Nobody ever limited
such an absurd thing. That is not
the point at all. The question is,
Has the legislature authority to
give bounty? It is the answer to
that question that is shrouded in
doubt, and the supreme court alone
can remove that doubt. Or, to
be more accurate, the supreme court
is authorized to interpret the con-
stitution and its Interpretation must
stand until the people shall other
wise declare.
We are fully in accord with the
Pocatello Tribune in cherishing the
hope that the bounty law will not
be nullifed by the discovery of some
technical defect. Already, one of
the most wholesome laws ever en-
acted by the Idaho legislature has
been assassinated by legal bubble
and it is to be hoped no more will
meet the same fate.

the SUGAR BOUNTY.

THE question of the payment of
the sugar bounty, under the act of
the last legislature, is exciting con-
siderable interest just now and many
arguments both pro and con are
being advanced. The Tribune has
never taken much stock in bounties
it does not believe in them. The
question of opposition to or support
OF bounties, however, does not en-
ter into this case and we can scarce
ly see how there can be any but
one position on the matter at issue,
The state promised. It is just as es-
Sential for the state to persue an
honorable business course as it
is for an individual. We hardly
think that it will be argued that the
state has no authority to give a
bounty and, if it has such authority.
we cannot regard any attempt to
evade such payment through some
technical defect in the law as other
than dishonorable. The State of
Idaho is too big to stoop to any
such business methods. "-Pocatello
Tribune.
There, the whole matter is bum
died up and dispatched in two stick
fulls. Now stop your fussin'. The
only fault that anybody can find in
the Pocatello Tribune's position is
that it is un-Republican, un-Amer-
iean and misleading, otherwise, it
Is without flaw. Bounty has been

ism since its organization in 1886,

priations for rivers and harbors,
