my native state"
one OF the first principles which had
served TO make the state what II Is was
the right acquired by the people 10 gov
ern themselves. In the great BATTLES OF

THOSE STALWART INFANTS
A. Question That Will Keep the "stand-
Patters" Busy Till
Settled.

The bul1etin-maker of the bureau OF
statistics points with pride to the re-
markable increase of our exports OF
manufactured products. He says that
the exports of this class for the year
which closes to-day will probably ex-
eeed $500, 000, 900. This an increase of
about $50, 000, 900 over the exports of last
year, and exceeds the record of 1894 by
1922, 900, 900. That is, our exports OF
manufactures have increased nearly
threefold in ten years.
This is indeed a gratifying record says
the New York World. But the question
presents itself to the inquiring mind
why, with such an export trade to their
credit, our infant industries"-now
grown ii many cases to hoary-headed
monopolies--should any longer need or
receive the protection of a so per cent.
tariff? Especially when, as has been
often shown, they frequently sell their
products in foreign markets at lower
prices than are given to home consum-
ers?
This is a question that will persist to
trouble the "stand-patters" until the
wrong is righted.

Subsidy by any other name will

If Roosevelt does any trust-bust-
ing he will surprise both democrats and
republicans. The democrats are willing
to be surprised, but the republicans are
not.-Houston Post.
If President Roosevelt proposes to

The deficit last month was a little
over $4,000, 900 and the demand for gold

-Editorially, the leading repub-
lican organs are silent. Not a word OF
advice or protest, not even a line of ex-
pository comment do they print. For
them, the bitter party warfare does not
exist. The reason is, Of course, that the
tyrannical government of the party has
robbed them Of freedom Of speech. Not

sENDswoRD BY KITE EXPRESS
Russian. Told of the Fall of Port
Arthur by Means of Letters At
tached to Kites by Japs.

Huanchan, Jan. IOWA Mukden.)
The news of the fall of Port Arthur
was received here first un~officially
from the japanese, who let loo nu-
merous paper kites bearing letters
and triumphal inscriptions. These
kites were picked UP by Russian sol
diers long before the telegraph gave
them the news. The army received
the announcement doggedly, regret
being expressed that the troops had
been unable to relieve the garrison;
but confidence is felt that, ultimately,
the Russians will be able to push back
the Japanese and reach the fortress
from the north.
Russian artillery is steadily pound
ing the section of the Japanese lines
west of Sinchinpu and about the vii
lagos of Baitoshan and Sintingun.
The Japanese are using balloons and
searchlights in efforts to locate Rus
sian batteries which have been caus-
ing them great annoyance.
The past two days the Japanese
have made two unsuccessful attempts
to break through the Russian advance
lines.
Gen. Stakelberg, who has been Ill,
has recovered sufficiently to return to
the front.
The weather has been warm and
s%pringlike for some days, and owe

Tariff Fosters Monopoly.

A trust that has M monopoly or spe-
cial privilege will do but little damage
to the public. Some trusts have the pro-
lection that the tariff gives them as
their mainstay; others are fostered by
special rates from railroads; others have
secured patents that are kept alive for
long terms by ways that are dark and
devious; the transportation combina-
tons are entrenched with franchises and
the right of eminent domain, which
gives them a monopoly of the territory
they traverse. But in all cases there will
be found to be some monopoly that pre-
vents competition. 1t is difficult to
uproot such vested interests and the
most feasible way is to control them by
state and national supervision and take
from them advantages to which they
have no vested right, such as the pro-
lection the tariff gives to many Of then,
and tax them as the general public are
taxed.-Indianapolis Sentinel.
