THE PAPER TRUsT.
TFrom the Post-Dispatch.l

LFrOm the POst-Dispatch.l
In his testimony before the house
judiciary committee Mr.. c. w. Lyman,
vice president of the paper trust, ad-
mitted that his company represented
to the ways and means committee
while the Dingley bill was under con-
sideration, that if the industry were
protected a combination would be
formed which would cheaper the price
of paper.
But instead, the price was raised.
Explaining, Mr.. Lyman makes this re-
markable statement: I'VE did not an
ticipate the boom in business and the
conditions which have increased the
cost of producing paper
In other words, they did not antici-
pate an opportunity to raise prices.
They got all the advantages in the way
of tariff protection a benevolent gov
eminent would give, and then com
bined to get the further advantage of
Economics That is to say with the
help of the government they obtained
a monopoly, and really, they didn't
think business would ever be so good
that they would be tempted to charge
monopoly prices.

For January 1, 1904, the length of
the entire Russian railway system,
exclusive of 1914 miles of railroads
in Finland and 1855 miles of the

stated as 36.673 miles. OF this total

railways the government operates 49,

ways of general interest and 1912
miles of railways of local interest
were operated by private corpora

track roads was $3.50 miles. The

ANOTHER HOLD UP.

A. e. McCollum. who is acting as
the chief of police for the city of To-
peka, has brought a libel suit against
this paper for $37.O0O.OO. This is one
of the penalties for running a live,
successful newspaper No one would
have thought of bringing a suit of
such magnitude against any other
periodical published here
Mr.. McConum does not base his ac-
tions upon any one article. but he
spreads his case over a large number
of issues. which tends to show that
the State Journal is not only interest
ing one day. but generally has some
good lively reading for every day.
That probably accounts in measure
why practically everybody in Topeka
takes it. not single copies, but all the
time from the regular carrier.
Mr.. McCollum recently gave up a
position which paid him over $4,000
a month for his present place, the sal
airy of which is 1888 per month. He
is evidently getting tired of making
such paltry sum. HG wants. to get
rich-quick and in this connection we
would warn him of the chances he
takes. We have figured it out that for
Mr. McCollum to make the S37, 0OOO 90
which he hopes to derive from US,
would require him to serve in his pres
ent office at the present salary thirty
seven years. And then he takes
chances of removal during that time
While the office does not pay a large
salary, it must be remembered that he
is not responsible for his actions, or at
least that he does not file any bond
that he will well and duly perform the
duties of his office"
Among the articles to which Mr. Nc
Collum naturally objects and values a.
$1,000 and over are: Secret Is Out"
Turn On the Lights "Hazen Favors
Grand Jury" and May be Stahl."
This paper has not played any game Of
Keep It Dark with its readers and does
not wonder that McCollum opposes a
grand jury and efforts to let him run
things under cover.
Mr.. McCollum has been hanging on
the ragged edge of the Office for some
time and in seeking to tie himself to
his present job he appears to have hap
PLY struck upon the scheme of bring
ing a libel suit, which, says one of his
friends, lis pretty good evidence of his
innocence" This paper has had exper-
fence in this kind of a suit heretofore
when a boodling councilman sued the
paper for $4,000 damages. He did not
get the $4,000. nor any part of it, nor
establish his innocence.
Inasmuch as Mr.. McCoIlum does
not demand this money at once and
inasmuch as the case cannot possibly
be tried for some months, the state
Journal meanwhile Will continue to
do business at the old stand and CON
tinue to have some "racy'' reading
about Mr.. McCollum and a few other
frauds. 4

WHAT CONSTITUTES BEAUTY.

Ask any one to explain why GER
tain girl is regarded as pretty and see
if you get a direct answer. Probably
you viii hear that fshe certainly is
pretty, but really I don't know why.
for she has not a good feature in her
face, and, now come to think Of it, 1
have seen prettier complexions." She
may have a good figure, but that does
not alone make a girl worth looking at
twice and certainly does not gain her
a reputation for prettiness.
Now leave off questioning and sift
the matter for yourself, and If you are
wise you will learn a useful lesson
Your pretty girl" you will find, is
Immediately fresh and neat looking.
Her hair looks well brushed and is well
and becomingiy arranged; her dress IS
Wen chosen in color. and. however sim
pie in style. it is thoroughly trim at the
neck, and there is never a suspicion Of
rags or untidiness about her skirt braid
or her pettfcoat-
The little things" of that girls toilet
are not slurred over. and her hands and
feet are as dainty as care can make
hem. for her innate refinement makes
her abhor the dictum of the sloven that

look at her we'll and see if her irreg-
Ilar features do not form part OF a
bright and animated face that makes
you feel glad when you look at it. Or
maybe the face is sad. but then it is
not the dull melancholy Of the stupid
person, but you see that real grief is
there, and you are interested and long

The attractive girl who without

reason why ugly girls are less often

MANY NEW BANKS.
More Evidence OF Prosperity of
Kansas.

Judging from the number of new
banks which are being established
over the state, people with money evil
IDENTIFY think that the banking BUSH
vest money. Last week the state
bank examiners instituted six new
banks, and today three more will be
started. In addition to this many
old state banks are increasing their
capital
The bank which were Instituted last
week. and the capital stock of each,
were as follows:
Citizens State bank of Jewell; capt.
State Bank of Edmond; capital,
Frontenae State bank; capital. s1O.-
600.
Farmers State bank Of Walnut;
capital 10000.
GoodIand state bank; capital. $1O,-
600.
Farmers and Merchants bank of
Delphos; capital. 10000
The banks to be started in business
today are as follows:
Citizens State bank of Clifton; cap
ital, $4,000.
Farmers State bank of Lenexa;
capital, $4,000.
Hinsboro State bank; capital. s1O,-
600.
Bank Commissioner Albaugh also
received notice today of the following
increases in capital:
Peoples State bank of Latham,
from $4,000 to $4,000.
State Bank of Herndon, from 5000
to $4,000.
state Bank Of Lehigh. from $500
to $4,000.
In the meantime no banks are fall
ing or going out of business. The
reason for the increase, as near as
can be told is that there is capital to
be invested and the people who have
it believe that the opening of banks
in the places mentioned would furnish
good returns upon the investments.

L. E. Myers. of the city railway, says
that his company is not emitting the
rock ballast from the Washburn COL
dirt under the ties to hold them up
while the rocks were being put in,
said Mr.. Myers today. But we had
no intention of not putting in rock
ballast. When we can get rails to re-
place the light rails on the college line,
our roadbed will all be in readiness
for the change. All we will have to do
will be to pull the spikes and put down
the heavy rails.
There are only two concerns which
make the kind of rails which we use in
Topeka. Special rollers have to be put
in to make that kind of rails, and as
we only need a comparatively small
amount, our order has to wait until
enough similar orders have been ac-
cumulated to make it worth while for
the steel company to change its roll

St Paul Dispatch: Mr.. Lyman is
the president of the International Pa
per company, the other one of the two
who control the supply of print paper.
He was before the committee of the
house. He denied that print paper
was sold abroad 80 per cent cheaper
than here. The trust makes per cent
more profit on its foreign than its
home sales, he said He would not
advise" removal of the tariff on pulp
and paper. Why not? If he can ex-
port paper and make a better profit
than on home sales his infant is so
well established that it needs no more
pap. If he can underselI foreigners in
their own market and make profit,
why can he not meet them on equal
terms here? We suspect that his real
reason is that given by the New York
papermakers: 20. because we are
hogs
