PLAYING AT WAR.
Political Trust HmntinG Has Had NJ
Eject on High Prices.


Effect on High Prices.
The injunction that President Roose
welt and his attorney general Q43tt4ii7ied
about two years agpa gainst the beer
trust Scans to have had just tie op
-g0ste effect intended. ut was suppoS
ed at the time that President Roose
welt was Lunting with intent to kill
the most conspicuous bad trust" be
had discovered It is impossible to
fathom upon what theory President
Roosevelt selected the beef trust us tie
sole bad industrial trust be could find
to prosecute, for the coal trust, the
Standard Oil trust, the steel trust and
dozens OF others were culpabie In the
same degree. Tie profits Of tie Stand
ard Oil trust were larger and the diyi-
dends paid much greater and the mo-
nopoly even more grinding than the
beef trust for it had advanced it's
prices 100 per cont IN a year. The
coal trust was equally guilty and quite
as oppressive The steel trust was
more gigantic and as a monopoly spar
ed neither high nor low why were
none of these selected as the horrible
exampleT
The reason WAS plain They were
all too strong politically and had been
in the past and were expected to be in
the near future large contributors to
the Republican campaign fund. 1t
would never do TO run amuck" against
such good friends, with their Wall
street connections that controlled
banks, trust companies, railroads and
other industrial combjGas, with half
the capital Of the cQrntry at their
back Tie beef combine men were
small potatoes compared TO the other
trust magnates, and as public opinion
was. centered ON beef in consequence Of
the extraordinary increase in price the
packers combination was selected for
Knox to slaughter
But the packers combine people
were no noyices in the legal game Of
bluff and being advised by their at
torneys that an injunction restraining
them from combining in restraint of
trade cid not hinder them from a gen
tlemen's agreement to all sell at the
same price ANA not bid against each
other tor cattle and hoss left the in
junction obtained by the administra-
tion 'up in the air." in the language Of
the street"
SO President Roosevelt got all the
credit for his war on the trust, but the
beef consumers have profted nothing,
for the price Of beef is stil high.
But even the Republican congress
could not justify state OF affairs that
kept UP the price Of beef and reduced
the price Of cattle, so last winter Sec
rotary Cortelyou Of the department Of
commerce and labor was ordered to in
vestlgate the packers combine. 1t is
presumed that for months this ipvesti-
cation has been going on, but it does
not seem TO woGy the packers and GER
tainly has had no restraining effect on
the other trusts, for they are all still
charging "all the traffic will bear" If
the voters of the country are satisfied
with this playing at war against the
trusts and vote to indorse such namby
PANTY operations they deserve to pay
trust prices for the balance of their
lives and will probably do So

The JOLLY GIRLS"
AT The SPOKANE

"An Honest Politician" Is the
title of the first musical offering
presented by "The Jolly Girls"
which attraction will ne seen at
the Spokane Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights. The title suggests the
many uproarious and ridiculously
funny situations that are intro
duced, for where in all the world
can be found such a parsonage as
described by the title? The audi
ence is kept laughing from the rise
to the fall of the curtain.

HAD FUN WITH THE "RUBE"

Charley Dexter, once Of Chicago,
and later with Louisville in the
American association, is credited
with this one:
"Waddell was pitching for the
Colonies when I was playing the
outfield," said Dexter. Nov,
'Rube' had never seen a boat in
his life until he left Louisville for
Cincinnati. The players forced
him to wear a life preserver during
the night and after RUDE was wrap
ped in slumber they began throw
ing water against his stateroom
door. Some one shouted that the
boat was sinking and RUDE bolted
out of the state room clad only in
his night gown and life pre-
server. If some or the boys hadn't
been quick about it, RUDE would
have been over the side of the boat
and into the water.

Fire in the Boarding House.

Mr.. Forsyth.
A propitious mishad interposed
its aid in the most unexpected man
ner.
Fire broke out in the house one
day and in the general excitement
Mrs. Denman could do nothing but
cry out for someone to help her
save her jewels and other valu-
ables. Three large trunks and sew
eral immense bundles standing in
the outer hall bore witness to her
energy and industry, while Ger
trude could hardly find an article
in her wardrobe not soaked with
water or ruined by the smoke and
flames. This was largely due to
her care for her invalid mother,
who had claimed the daughters at
tention when the first alarm of fire
was given.
Now | appreciate the wisdom
of your choice" said Mr.. Forsyth
to Henry Porter. as they stood by
Mrs. Denman's collection after the
fire had been extinguished. "a
| woman who can take such good
care OF herself will save a hus-
band a great deal of anxiety. But
she really might have been a lit
tie more careful about getting that
pink coating on both sides of her
| face"
Porter's only reply was sickly
smile, but he was too stubborn to
admit that he had been thoroughly
, disillusioned.
When the heat of the summer
drove all those who could possibly
get away from the city to seek
cooler spots, Henry Porter ventur-
ed to tell Gertrude Murray that it
depended on her whether he
should return the following autumn
to pursue his studies. That her
answer was encouraging might be
inferred from September's bring
ing him to his old place. When he
left next 1t was with a diploma and
a bride.

OUTBREAKS OF SOCIALISTS

BERLIN, Dec. 11.-Since the out
break of revolutionary disturbance
es in Russia there have been many
indications that the remarkable re-
suits have encouraged the socialist
parties of other continental coun-
tries. The Austrian socialists
have initiated a vigorous campaign
to obtain manhood suffrage, and
threaten to enforce their demand
by general strike.
Similar signs have been observed
in Germany. The Breslau branch
OF the German socialist party has
proposed a semi-revolutionary agi-
tatlon for radical reform of the

that he had the money and went to

Or the Story Might Be Termed tn
DisiIlusionment Of Henry
Clay Porter.

Henry Clay Porter had grown up
in the backwoods Of North Caro-
lima. He was tall and slender, like
the pines of his fatherland under
whose shade his life had been
spent. At the age of 81 he had
never been a score of miles from
home. He was quite contented,
however, with his lot. But what
he asked not for himself the fates
cast upon him.
A near relative died and left his
fortune to the possessor of his own
honored name. With an income of
$500 900, Henry Clay Porter began
to show symptoms of restlessness.
He decided to go to Philadelphia
and study medicine.
In that city he became acquaint-
ed with a widow, Mrs. Denman,
not very young, but very pretty.
and even brilliant, with remarkably
easy and ingratiating manners. She
belonged to that class of women
who are called fascinating, and
those whom they choose to please
cannot remain Indifferent to their
attractions. Young Porter had
never seen anyone half so bewitch-
ing or interesting, She had a de-
lightful way of saying flattering
things and that kept him in good
humor. The result was that be-
fore three months had passed he
became an open and devoted ad-
mirer of Mrs. Denman.
Meanwhile it is not to be sup
posed that such a state of affairs
could be allowed to go on without
provoking discussion throughout
the boarding house. Also there
was general disapprovavl. One old
fellow. ELI Forsyth, was so moved
by the impending misfortune a
marriage With Mrs. Denman would
prove to the unsuspecting youth
that he could no longer resist his
desire TO demonstrate with him.
That interview did not prove salts
actory on either side. but seemed
to strengthen the rich young mans
determination to win the widow.
Gertrude Murray, another of the
the boarders, had failed to attract
more than passing notice from
young Porter, and this nettled old

1t is interesting % learn that
the authorities in Berlin have made
complete arrangements for the
suppression of any popular rising.
1t is assumed that the insurgents
would advance towards the center
of the city where the emperor's
palace and all the government of.
fees are situated. The police plan
has been rehearsed so often as
festive occasions attract immense
crowds. as for instance at the Ger
man crown princes wedding in
June, and on the recent arrival of
the king of Spain. The police
show extraordinary skill in gradu-
ally disposing of the crowds which
they drive block by block out into
tn esuburbs.
In accomplishing this task they
divide the city up into squares.
One side of each square is left
open, always the side facing the
suburbs, so that the crowd may
drift in that direction. In the case
OF popular uprising, II 1t became
necessary to use the most severe
measures, the fourth side of each
square could be closed. so that the
rebels within 1t would be inclosed
within impenetrable lines of fire
and steel, and could be shot down
or bayonetted to the last man.
