Wharton Barker On Trusts.

Trusts shelter under tariff protection.
freight discrimination and franchises.
To talk of licensing trusts is to trifle with
evil. The trusts have come-some as the
product of industrial evolution, from the
fact that great combinations have made
possible the introduction of economies
in production; some as the product Of
special legislation. largely the granting
of franchises exclusive by their nature;
some as the result of railroad discrimina-
tions forbidden by the law. but which
the law has been powerless to prevent
And so arising. the trusts must be treated
with some regard to the manner by
which they have risen. Those that have
come in the third way. in railroad dis
examinations, can be dealt with effect
ually, properly, by the government
taking possession of the railroads and
putting an end to the evil Of freight dis
elimination, so destructive of the first
right of the American people to an equal
ity of opportunity. Those that have
arisen in the second way. can be
successfully treated only by the national
state, ald municipal governments TAX
ing back the public franchises they have
given away and which they have a
common law right to do; those that have
arisen in the FIRST way, and that abuse
their power, the power that comes with
concentration, and that ought to benefit
the general public. must be taken by the
people as they see the necessity, and
that they may enjoy the benefits of the
industrial evolution going on around
them.
Where trusts and monopolies are the
growth of natural conditions, are, and
must continue to be, monopolies because
of the very nature of their being; then
the nation, the state. the municipality.
must be the monopolist in order that
the people may be protected in their
rights. Where monopoly can not be
destroyed, or where. being of natural
growth, it is not to the interest of the
people to destroy it. the government
must be the monopoliss. Private monop.
oily of natural monopolies must be bane,
government monopoly must be blessing.

DEAR EDIToRs:-It has been affirmed
by quite number of the citizens of the
9th District that three of the best known
men in that District were responsible for
delaying action by the County Commits
sioners in opening up the blocked
roads, last week. If this were true these
men surely made a mistake,-for the
roads in many places. are in dangerous
condition and getting worse. and nothing
but opening up these snow blockades
would remedy the evil.
1t would be in order then. in our
humble judgement, for the three men
upon whom rests the reported blame, to
come out and publicly deny the charge
if not guilty-that the impression may be
removed and they reinstated to their for
mer high places in the esteem of the
public.

Fate Of Greedy Rather.

In Ozark county. Missouri, the other
day a large rattlesnake was found i'm
prisoned between two rails of fence.
The snake had come upon a flock Of
young quail. caught one Of the birds
and swallowed 1t. The survivors ran
to the other side Of the fence. where.
upon the snake crawled between the
rails until II caught another bird,
which II swallowed. The result was
that the snake. owing to the bulge
made by the first morsel. was unable
to move forward and because Of the
second protuberance was unable to 20
back. Thus It's greed led to its death.

THE STORM TRIAL
The Testimony So Far a Repetition
 of What Had Been Heard.

Ed. s. Wright former deputy under defendant, J. P. Storm, former county treasurer and at present county trea- surer, himself, was on the stand all of today at the trial of his former chief for the alleged embezzlement of $15,362 from the vaults of the county treasury, says the Prescott Herald.
 Storm has been accompanied by his wife and daughter, Miss Hattie Storm, today. This is the third | ay of his hearing for a serious offence, and he appears to be in better spirits than he did at the end of the third day of his former trial.
 Wright's testimony has been much the same as it was when he told much of a sensational interest that came near convicting Storm when tried be- fore. He has gone even more deeply into the machinations of his super iors under the skiIlful questioning of the attorneys.
 The witness has told how Storm borrowed several thousand dollars from A. J. Head at different quarter ly accountings with the board of su- pervisors in order to square his ac- count and cover up deficits.
 Wright has admitted that he was in several iIlSldIlCeS lLS IIldil WHO the money to the treasurer's office and returned it.
 The matter of Storm holding con- trary to law. the checks of several we'll known citizens for taxes among them being those of A. J. Head, w. w. Ross. M. J. Hickey, D. A. Burke, H. Blum berg and others. was gone into thor oughly.
 Wright was this afternoon put to a rigid cross examination by Attorney Henry Ross for the defense, in which he admitted that at least one of the checks was held at his request.
 He told of how the office was found immediately after the robbery, and described the workings of the vault in which Storm was locked.
 Thus far the case presents no thrill ing features that were not brought out at the former hearing.
