and indebted to the machine for his
job. He is attempting to mislead
the people when he uses the term
"anti republican" As a matter OF
fact, the "anti republicans" in this
state are those comp osing the state
machine, with Kittredge at the head.
Roosevelt is the standard bearer of
all true republicans. Kittredge and
Gamble in the senate are doing their
best to defeat Roosevelt policies in
regard to tariff revision, regulation
of railroad rates, the work On the
Panama canal, and other matters,
which makes those gentlemen "anti-
republican, and all those who sup
port and help to keep them in power
are ''anti republicans The board
of regents are using the state institu-
tions to help perpetrate this "anti-
republican machine, and the Head
light is their obedient servant.

The following dispatch was sent
from Washington March 3D., the day
before the end of the session of con
gress.
The senate to day, so to O. agreed to a
resolution offered by Mr.. Kittridge extend
ing until the end of the Fifty-ninth con-
gress the provisions of the Spooner law
providing for the temporary government
of the Panama canal zone and for the
prosecution of work on the canal.
This is only another instance in
which the senate has refused to act
in accord with President Roosevelt,
and to help carry out the policies en-
dorsed by the people in the election
of the president.
The people have endorsed scLeme
to build this canal and anything
which hinders in any way the accom-
plishment of that purpose is indirect
opposition TO the wish of the people.
The present canal commission has
been sitting around drawing TAI
salary for two years and has done
nothing in the way Of pushing the
work for which they are paid.
Roosevelt wanted change in man
agement whereby little life could
be put into the business but how well
he succeeded is shown in the above
when every mothers son voted to re.
tain the old do nothing commission. 1t
is direct slap at the president, and
an action that is equivalent to telling
the people to "go to the devil" /"
This leads to Volga Tribune to make
the following pat remarks:
AS body the United States Senate will
not care rap what the country thinks,
but in each state the republican papers
will have to decide whether they stand
with Roosevelt or with their senators.
This fight on the president by the Senate
Is getting little too raw around the edges
to be ignored, and unless the party papers
of each state have the courage TO
tell their senators that their chief
attitude towards the president is not
approved at all, there will be more of the
same thing in the future and Roosevelt
will be further huniiiated. 1t will not
answer to scoid the United States SEN
ate.n That does not mean anything to
the Senate, for like a corporation it has
no soul of feelings, apparently. But it is
to the point to say something to Senators
Kittredge and Gamble. They are wits
the rest in the above mentioned action
and Kittredge himself suggested the
action. The Tribune is for Roosevelt
first last and all the time, and believes
that the people of this state are too When
our senators are not with Roosevelt in
this canal business they are not in az
good company as they might be-"
But it is likely that the senators
will care as little for what few
Stree" papers says as they do for the
sentiment of the people. Kittredge
and Gamble, like senators from
nearly all the other states, rest in
| fancied security because Of the
| knowledge that they either control
or they themselges form greater

That bill passed by the legis
lature which admits Kansas oil into
this state on lower test is in re-
ality victory for the Standard Oil
company, which has been fighting
the old law. 1t is claimed that Kan

the eastern oils. That may be true,
but all oils look alike to the Stan

BEEF TRUST CHARITY.

The report of Commissioner Gar
field on the beef trust has led great
many people to review mentally that
wellknown saying that figures won't
lie in connection with the Yankee
appendix thereto, which says "some
great liars will figure. 1t would seem
as though Mr.. Garfield in going
down to Jericho had fallen among
expert bookeepers. They made it
appear to him that the beef trust
magnates were doing business on
such small percentage of profit that
there was really no cause for the
public to cavil at their prices. Ninety
nine cents head is all they make
on the animals killed for the delec.
tation OF the American appetite.
When one thinks OF these poor men
toiling TO provide him with meat for
such dnll profit, he is tempted to
foreswear flesh and become vege-
tartan. LII it were not for the fear
of becoming too strong and too good

Meanwhile the country is not inn
pressed with the fear that the beef
trust has fooled anybody. Commits.
sioner Garfield knew a great deal more
about the beef trust before he start
ed in on his examination than it re-
vealed in this report. He knew for
example that the beef trust does not
sell its agencies and that the agency,
which is merely the trust under an
other name, takes down an extra
profit which does not appear on the
books of the packers, but which finds
its way directly in their pockets.
He knew that the beef trust is also
a transportation trust and he knew
that this is where it principally
gouges the consumer The beef
trust owns over 10000 refrigerator
cars, and on each and every one Of
these it exacts mileage from the
the railroads of three-fourths of a
cent mile both in and out. 1t also
exacts an icing charge, which has
more than quadrupled in the past
four years, since the trust was per-
fected, although the cost of ice has
not gone up cent. 1t compels the
railroads to collect these sums ara
