AFTER THE TRUSTS.

Now comes the information that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has directed James A. Gar
field, commissioner of commerce, to begin
without delay an Investigation Of the Oil
Trust.
1t will be remembered that our Demo-
cratic friends and adversaries during the
Presidential campaign asserted that the
Republican candidate and party were in
intimate touch with the trusts; and that
Mr.. Cortelyou had been made National
Chairman for the express purpose OF
working the trusts for large campaign
contributions. They argued that if Mr..
Roosevelt was elected President he would
be SO hampered by obligations to the
trusts that he and the Republican party
would be estopped from making any
further war on them. Right at that time the
President had the officers and agents OF the
Government investigating in the most
thorough and fearless manner the meat
trust.
Now he has ordered the investigation Of
the most formidable trust, from finan-
cial standpoint, that exists in This country,
or, perhaps, in the world. He has given
the Meat Trust to understand that it must
90 out of business or that it must abide
the penalty of the law. Under the direc'
tions of Theodore Roosevelt, Armour,
Swift, Morris and the other magnates OF
that trust will be prosecuted and impris-
oned if they continue to violate the law.
So it will be with John Rockefeller and
his associates of the Oil Trust, if q case is
made against them by the coming invtsti-
cation.
The people now begin to realize more
fully that Roosevelt is a dangerous man
to evil doors.

The Kansas Oil Fight,
Pittsburg Post.

BlttSDuTB IOSl.
That is a most interesting contest that
is being waged in the Kansas Legislature
between the independent oil producers
and the Standard Oil company. The in
dications are said to be favorable to the
former winning the fght, as a great sentl-
ment has been aroused in their favor
among the people of The state generally
The trouble arose from the Standard OH
company attempting to limit the produc-
ton of Kansas OIL In order to effect this
the price of the article was repeatedly re-
duced until, whereas last year it was bring
ing 81 SO for high grade and 60 cents for
lower grade, now the figures are ~ and
20 cents. These great reductions the In
dependent oil producers claim were not
justified, and they have set above getting
legislation to limit the power Of the Stand
ard Oil company in the state and to i'm
prove their own condition.
Several bills relating to the oil industry
are NOW before the legislature, one of them
providing for the establishment of state
refinery, to be worked by convicis, and
another making pipe lines common car.
riers. Naturally these bills are being
strongly fought by the Standard Oil COM
pany, but the prospects are said to be
that they will pass.

The Panama Central Problem.

Representative Mann'5 bill to abolish
the Panama central commission and give
the president absolute authority over the
civil, judicial and military government of
the zone through which the canal is to be
built is more important that may appear
on the surface OF things. 1t is one of the
marks, which have been frequent in
recent, days of the tendency toward
an extension in the powers and inhuen' e
of Presidents. The bill has been reported
to the House by the unanimous vote Of
the committee on Interstate Commerce.
The existing law governing the canal zone
expires with the present Congress, so that
if the Mann bill or some other measure
on the same subject does not pass in the
next four weeks, the whole matter OF con-
control of the canal strip for the next year
or two, or until new legislation is enacted,
will devolve ON the President in any case.

MosquItoes And Sounds.

A doctor writing from port of Spain
Trinidad, to a medical Journal, tells of hi'
experiments with mosquitoes. He says
that one Of the childish amusements when
playing with his companions in the early
evening was 10 strike note that attracts
the insects. AS he remembers the most
alluring sound was a continuous "oog'
sound in medium key, which was quick
ly changed to "ah" in lower tone and
dwet on in the same way. The effect on
the mosquitoes was magical. Their sing.
Ing would quickly increase in volume, and
they would Immediately attack the faces
of the children, who strange to say enjoy
ed the sport. But the mosquitoes did not
enjoy it long for their love Of music afford
ed an excellent opportunity of killing
them,

The Value of Franchises.
Newport News Press.

Newport News Press.
Mayor Collins, of Boston, recently wrote
message in which be touched upon the
reprehensible habit of giving away valu-
able franchises. The message provoked
the following from the Boston Transcript;
ave are coming to large appreciation OF
the value of franchises and the fact that
the public should be co-partner in them.
We are beginning to appreciate the fact
that no franchise should be-granted with
out some contribution to the public bur-
den."
We are pleased to note that our clever
Yankee friends are reaching such logical
conclusion on such an important subject.
Now if they will follow Yirginia's example
and incorporate in their state law a pro-
vision calling for the advertisement and
sale by auction of all franchises there
would be no need for further utterances
along the line of Mayor Collins excellent
message.

The invitation given to Captain John S.
Wise by the Daughters of the Revolution
to lecture in Richmond, and the accep-
lance of that invitation, has afforded an
opportunity TO some of the partisans to
show their venom. Among them is num-
bered the mayor of that city. We feel sorry
for Captain Wise in that he has to face 30
much prejudice and hate as still rankIes
in the breast of the people of that city;
but it may be fortunate that an opportun-
ity has been given to show what narrow
minds are in control of the city, as is
evidenced by the conduct Of its mayor.
1t may serve to awaken broader spirit in
Richmond and break the shackles Of pre-
JUDGE that baye heretofore excluded

MANIcURED THE NEWsBOYS
Innovation Inaugurated by Street
Vender Was an Immediate
Success.

The nails of nearly every newsboy
on Park Row were neatly trimmed ant
clean at least one day last week, phe'
nomenon many noted with surprise, re-
lates the New York Tribune Of recent
date.
A vender with a patent manicuring
tool. clippers, file and pick, three in
one, and one for three cents, took up
his stand on the curb. He demon
strated the ease with which the tool
could be handled on the first newsboy
who came along. The boy marched
down the row, showing off his hands
proudly.
'T've been manicured," he declared.
'Did it hurt?" WAS she a blond
beaut?" "How much, Snickers?" were
some of the questions.
"Naw, it didn't hurt, an she amt a
blond, an it didn't cost nothing" he
answered.
They made a five-cent pool as the
price Of the secret, and the newsboys'
manicuring shop, the first in history,
was soon in operation.

A German View of Our Shortcomings
Chicago Tribune"

Chicago Tribune"
The German Engineers, scientists and
educators who came to this country during
the St. Louis Exposition are beginning to
to tell What they think Of American edu-
calional and industrial methods. The first
serious defect is the self-satisfaction OF Am
orleans, the feeling that everything done
and produced by them is the best. rhen
there is lack of special education for COM
merce, banking and foreign trade. Our
so.called commercial colleges, with their
three months course, are called a farce.
The general defect of our educational meth
DDS is described as their lack of special
lzed study. That 50 many lawyers, d)ct Drs
and professional men, and so few chem-
lists. engineers and educated craftsmen
should be educated ia short.sighted aud
improvident policy from German point
of view. The American nation is negec-
ting its severe trainingin industrial af1irs,
which is necessary if it wishes to secure in

The methods that the revolutionary or
ganization in Russia is now using to free
that country from the curse OF autocratiC
rule are cruel and horrible; but the rule
from which they are seeking to relieve
their country is no less brutal. The
murder of go many innocent people DIR
ing the recent strikes, by the orders of the
Cars advisers, only provoked the revolu-
tionists to more frequent violent acts. The
assassination of the Grand Duke Sergius,
uncle aud brother.in-law of Emperor
Nicholas, on last Friday evidences that
the terrorists will continue 10 perform such
bloody deeds until Russia is assured a
liberal, constitutional government.

Real Value Of college Education.

We are apt to overestimate the value
of an education gotten from books
alone. A large part Of the value Of a
college education comes from the So
cial intercourse Of the students, the
reinforcement, the buttressing Of char
acter by association. Their faculties
are sharpened and polished by the at
triton of mind with mind, and the pit
ting of brain against brain. which slim

knowledge which comes from mind in

SOUNDING AN ALARM.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch has
made the interview of COLONEL. S. Brown
ing a text for sounding warning to the
Virginia Democrats. Our Richmond con-
temporary seems to be alarmed at the
idea suggested by Colonel Browning that
the operation of the primary plan will pro-
duce discord in the Democratic party.
Referring to the primary our contempor-
airy Gays: "There should be no trickery;
should be no bitterness; there should be
no indulgence in disagreeable personali-
ties"
The Times-Dispatch directs its appeals
chiefly to the candidates who will be voted
forat the primary. They will represent
the two hostile factions that now compose
the Democratic party in Virginia. Both of
these have been thoroughly educated in
the school of trickery. bitterness and dis
agreeable personalities. They are either
graduates from or beneficiaries Of j. Tay-
lor Ellyson's training school for fraud.
While prscticing the methods OF that
school, for personal and party success, they
became SO thoroughly indoctrinated with
it's vices that they can hardly now reform
and be thoroughly good. AS well expect
the Ethiopian to change the color of his
skin or the leopord his spots as to antici-
pate change of methods by the average
Virginia Democratic politician.
