CASE OF THE BEEF TRUSTS
Extortion Goes Right On Notwith-
standing That Careful"
Investigation.

1t is reported from Chicago that the
investigation of the beef trust is 60
ing to prove a fizzle. The investigation
is said to have cost $125, 900 thusf ar. and
it's failure is attributable to the inves-
tigators' want of familiarity with the
packing business and their consequent
inability to summon the proper persons
and to ask the right questions. II,
therefore, there is anything in this re-
port, says the Birmingham (N. "
Leader, the beef trust is at liberty to go
right on with its hold-up, undeterred by
the smallest fear OF punishment or OF
check.
AS q matter Of fact, of course, the
combine has been going right on with
it's extortionate practices, as the On
sumers of meat are in a position to
know; and this directly in the face OF
an investigation which not long ago was
sending valuable witnesses out OF the
country to escape calls from the grand
Jury. This is another reminder that II
the people would have relief from the
oppression to which they are subjected
by the protected interests, they must
look for it through an o%verhauling OF
the tariff. which delivers the people
over to the none too tender mercy OIL
those interests. Nothing but the over
throw ofsthe vicious protective system
can afford the people the fair field and
the freedom from favor they need in
their terrible struggle with the pro-
tected plunderers.

THEIR FEET IN THE o U
Tariff Bloated Manufacturers Howl
ing Over the Presidents
Policy.

''To sum UP the presidents sentiments
in the case, he is determined that the
hogs shall take their feet out of the
trough" says "a+close friend" Of Mr..
Roosevelt to the Washington corre-
spondent of the Tribune, in commenting
on the Panama open-market order.
HE believes it little short Of criminal
for the big manufacturers to charse the
home a third more or double
the price for goods than is charged the
people of Europe Is it any wonder
the tariff bloated manufacturers are
'howling'' over such heresy?
Congress will soon stop this open
market business" threatens Mr.. Dali
zell. He is as cocksure about it as 1t
duties affecting the steel trust were his
personal affair. But will congress or
even the republican majority in the
house rebuke President Roosevelt? Do
Messrs. Dalzell and Grosvenor, for in
stance, imagine that they cdn command
a stronger following than the admins
tration?
How will they go about 1t TO prove,
when the deficit is rolling up into the
tens of millions and new taxes are pro-
posed. that the taxpayers do no care
if the Panama canal costs an extra $780,
900, 900 so long as, a few tariff favorites
are enriched? And If they are beaten,
what then? Will there not be danger
that all the tariff .revisionists, with the
president at their head, will come down
on the fold of Dingleyism?
If the outraged" manufacturers are
wise they will call off their spokesman
in congress and grade their prices to
meet the governments needs without
more ado. If they prefer a fight, they
may feel to their lasting regret the tenn
per Of this new big stick which Mr..
Roosevelt has imported from Panama.
If President Roosevelt really sets to
work to make 'the hogs take their feet
out of the trough" a revision of the
Dingley schedules in the interests of the
domestic consumer is likely to become
as much of a live issue as railroad rate
regulation.

REPUBLICAN IMBRocLIo.
Members Of the Party Who Are MOT
in Sympathy with Govern
mental Policies.

The threat to purchase Panama canal
supplies in the cheapest market may be
said to constitute the cap-sheaf of the
administrations grain cock of offense
to the sensibilities of the republican
statesmen who are not in sympathy
with the new drift in governmental
policies; and it is said that three cab
met officers, Secretaries Shaw, Wilson
and Metcalf, are SO d~ispleased with this
latest turn of affairs that there is a
possibility that they will cease to be
members of the presidents official
family. Secretary Shaw, stanch stand
patter" that he is. is said to be uncom-
promisingly hostile to this cheapest
market proposition, and it is thought
possible that his attitude may lead to
his early retirement from the cabinet.
AS to the question of CONGRESSES TAX
ing action to compel the purchase of
supplies in the American market, it is
thought that the matter will be per-
mitted to rest where it is, in view of
the certainty that any attempt to force
the procurement of supplies in this
country would lead to a revisionist agi-
tation that. might prejudicially affect
the case Of the high protectionists. 1t
is said that, as a rule, callers at the
white house are in expression of APP
proval of the presidents policy, not
only in respect to the tariff question,
but also as regards the matter of rail-
way-rate regulation. Representative
Charles R. Davis, of the Third Minne-
sofa district, who is a pronounced ad'
vocate of the presidents rebate and ca
nal-purchase policies, is quoted as say.
ing, after a visit to the white house:
Congress will have to wrestle with
this (the canal-purchase) problem, and
it will have a big thing on hand. 1t
may open the door for revision OF the
tariff, both for increased revenue and
for other purposes. There is a senti-
ment for tariff revision along certain
lines, and this may afford the oppor-
tunity that has so long been sought.
las to the rebate proposition, the
president is right, and our section OF
Lie COuLtly Will uPhOlu Hill ~ the
fullest sense. 1t is a dead-sure thing
that we are not going to let the senate
committee or interstate commerce fix
this thing for us. We propose to have
a suitable law covering this question
and it will not be unfair to the rail-
roads. If the roads are not violating
laws they need not be afraid OF legtsla-
ton that will protect the country"
1t looks, therefore, says the Albany
Argus, as if congress would have
enough on it's hands at the next ses-
sion without essaying action that will
lead to an agitation of the tariff ques-
ton and provoke a popular demonstra-
ton in. demand for revision. The ad-
ministration has got the reactionlst
statesmen in that state of mind that is
described as guessing.

Trouble in Sight.

The New Orleans Picayune thinks
the republicans are going to have a
good deal Of trouble dealing with the
deficit. "There is nothing it says,
like a deficit to set men to thinking
seriously, and, however much Mr.. Shaw
may pooh-pooh adverse criticism, the
tariff revisionists are likely soon to ex-
hibit an increase Of strength But
meanwhile:
"Of course, no ono dreams now OF
an abandonment Of the policy Of pro-
lection. Even were every practicable
retrenchment promptly effected, the
cost Of carrying on the government
would still render 1t out of the cues
ton to cut down the duties on imports
below the level Of protection. The real
issue is between high and moderate
protection. The government. certainly
can go ahead running behind a few
millions annually for some time to
come, but then 1t will have to be ad.
mitted that its revenue system Is de.
fective. The republican party long age
made protection the chief end Of tax
alton, but 1t can hardly vet afford tx
take the position that the government
may be lawfully and justly run intt
debt for the benefit of the protested in
terests."

Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's

Se6gwick, Ark, June 19.-The case of w.

those interested in medical matters as one
of the most wonderful on record. In this
connection his father makes the following
statement
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen
to. such an extent that he could not walk
or put his shoes on. The treatment that
the doctors were giving him seemed to
do him no good, and two or three people
said his days were short, ever the doctors,
two of the best in the country told me he
would not get better. I stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. | gave him three Pills a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth day
the swelling was all gone, but to give
the medicine justice, / gave him eleven
more Pills. l used thirty-fve Pills in all
and he was entirely cured. / consider

the thirty-five Pills were given him, he
could run, dance and sing, whereas before
he was an invalid in his mothers arms

UNIQUE FIGURE IN HISTORY
Mark Twain Says Joan of Arc
Stands Alone in Story of
World.

In Harper's Magazine for December
Mark Twain. who has recently made a
thorough study of the original docu-
ments bearing on the life of Joan OF Arc,
pays a wonderful tribute to this slight
girl. whom he calls by far the most ex-
traordinary person the human race has
ever produced
GAN the rules fail in this girls case.
In the worlds history she stands alone
quite alone. Others have been great in
thei- hrs. public exhibitions of general
ship, valor, legal talent, diplomacy, for
titude; but always .heir previous years
and associations haG Saen in a larger
and smaller degree a preparation for
these things, There have been no ex-
ceptions to the rule. But Joan wa: COM
petent in a law case at 16. without eyer
having seen a law book or a courthouse
before; she had no training in soldier
ship and no associations with it, yet
she was a competent general in her first
campaign: she was brave in her first
battle, yet her courage had had no edn-
cation-not even the education which a
| boys courage gets from never-ceasing
reminders that 1t is not permissible in a
boy to be a coward, but only in a girl;
f~riendless, alone, ignorant, in the bosom
Of her youth, she sat week after week a
prisoner in chains, before her assem-
blage OF judges, enemies hunting her to
her death, the ablest minds of France,
and answered them out Of an untaught
wisdom which overmatched their learn
ing, bafied their tricks and treacheries
with a native sagacity which compelled
their wonder, and scored every day a
victory against these incredible odds
and camped nnchallenged on the field
In the history of the human intellect
unframed, inexperienced, and using
only its ~birthright equipment Of untriee
capacity, there is nothing which ap.
proaches this. Joan of Arc stands alone
and must continue to stand alone, bJ
reason Of the unfellowed fact that Iii Tn
things wherein she was great she was *
without shade or suggestion d help from
preparatory teaching, practice on on
vironment."

KYLE SLEPT PRETTY WELL
But the Drummers in Neighboring
Rooms Could Not Say
as Much.

Representative Kyle, of Ohio, has .
high, sweet tenor voice. and is known to
his colleagues as THE sweet singer from
Ohio" He is in great demand at din
ners, where he sings old Scotch songs
melodiously, says a Washington paper.
When he was out campaigning in his dis
trict last fall he arrived at a country no.
tel where half a dozen drummers were to
put up for the night also. Kyle told the
landlord he wanted a quiet room where he
could sleep undisturbed, as he was very
tired.
Next morning at breakfast the drum
mers were protesting loudly because their
rest had been disturbed by the snoring
of the man in room 10. They variously
described the snoring as the worst they
had ever heard. Most of them said they
had not slept a wink.
How did you sleeps' asked one Of the
drummers Of Kyle.
Fine" said Kyle; never heard a thing
from the time | struck the bed until this
morning. / got a great nights rest"
I'm heavens name, where did you
sleep?" asked the drummers.
