viii Attack Paper Trust.

Attorney General Moody has given
out the following statement regarding
the suit instituted at st. Paul Decem-
ber 9th by the federal government
against the paper manufacturing COM
panies:
"On the complaint of many newspa-
per publishers, iast spring. that a COM
bination in the restraint of commerce
existed among manufacturers of paper
to control the distribution and sale of
their products among the states of the
Union, the department of justice be-
gan an investigation of that subject
and to further the department in that
respect the attorney general appointed
F. b. Kellogg of the st. Paul bar and
j. M. Beck Of the New York bar as
special attorneys to collect the evil
dence and make report thereon.
These gentlemen. after an exhaus-
tive examination of the matter, stimuli
taneously with that conducted by the
department of justice, have reported
to the attorney general that in their
opinion the facts ascertained support
the complaint and justify in the public
interests, the fling of petition to en-
join the operations of the General Pa
per Company, a corporation Of Wiscon-
sin, which Is the instrumentality
through which the alleged combination
to control the prices and distribution
of those products In the western
states is conducted. In this opinion
the department of justice concurs.
1.-The attorney general to-day direct
ed that a petition be filed against the
General Paper Company and the twen-
ty-four paper manufacturing companies
located in the states of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan, which it rep
resents, to have such combination de-
clared to be an unlawful restraint upon
interstate commerce and a monopoly.
"The petition will De filed in the
United States Circuit Court for the
district of Minnesota as soon as the
necessary papers can be prepared"

Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
who has been seriously Ill with pleu-
risy, was thought to be convalescent,
but later suffered relapse and was

by his physician that he will not be

place January 9th.
Announcement was made at the War
Department recently of the names of
various sea coast batteries on the At
lantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts. The
batteries are named after officers who
distinguished themselves in the Revo-
lutionary War, the War of 1912, the

President Gompers and Secretary
Morrison of the American Federation
OF Labor, called on Secretary Taft and
as far as possible in the construction
of the Panama canal. The matter was
discussed at some length and Mr.. Com
pers will confer with Governor Win
throp of Porto Rico in New York City
next week.
Secretary Taft, who is engrossed
with matters pertaining to the Philip
pines, had a conference with the Pres
ident regarding questions relating to
the archipelago. The secretary desires
that the proposed reduction in the tar
III on Philippine sugar and tobacco
should be provided for at this session
of Congress. and he is urging his views
strongly with all members of Congress
to whom he has opportunity to talk.
He hopes to obtain a rate on sugar and
tobacco imported from the Philippines
Of twenty-five per cent. of the regular
Dingley rate. He intimated to-day that
negotiations had been initiated looking
to possible compromise on Philip
pine tariff rate, but 1t wsis too early
to predict what the result OF tine nego.
tiations might be.
Congress may economIze on sala-
ries, as the disposition now seems to
be, but there is one item in that line
Whcit oil ihCltdot Cdu nol .Jc dFOlueu.
The Senate now has one man doing
two mems work and getting only $4,000
in extra money therefor. Soon here
after there will be two men to do the
same work. and 1t will cost the govern
ment $4,000 more than at present. AS
will be readily OWNED. the present
saving is in the vice presidents office.
Senator Frye. the president pro tenn
pore, Is the man doing double work
He receives therefor his salary of $5,-
900 annually as senator and $1,000 ad-
ditional for being president pro tenn
pore. But the legislative bill, which
the House is considering, carries an
item of $4,000 for the new vice pres
ident, which will become available
March 4th next. So 1t is that Senator
Frye will lose $4,000 annually and the
government will be at an extra annual
expense Of $1,000.

LATEST WASHINGTON NEWS AND
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
Office of Vice President.

When Senator Fairbanks Is sworn
into office as vice president it will
have been more than three years since
the Senate was presided over by a vice
president. In the last forty years the
mortality among vice presidents has
been remarkable. For more than six
teen years during that period the pre-
siding officer of the Senate has been a
president pro tempore-a senator
elected for the position from the body
of senator's
Vice President Andrew Johnson be-
came President but little more than a
month after Lincoln's second Inaugural
uon in 1865, and during the interim be-
tween his leaving the Senate chair and
the qualification of Vice President Col
fax in 1863, the presidents pro tempore
of the Senate were Lafayette S. Foster
of Connecticut and Benjamin F. Wade
of Ohio.
Vice President Wilson, who had
been elected with Grant in 1872, died
in Office in 1876, and until Vice Presi-
dent Wheeler took up the duties of
presiding officer in 1877 the place was
filled by Thomas w. Ferry, senator
from Michigan.
The vacancy caused by the elevation
OF Arthur to the presidency on the
death of Garfield in 1881 was filled by
David Davis of Illinois and George F..
Edmunds of Vermont. The latter was
followed by Vice President Hendricks,
who had been elected with Cleveland
in 1884, and was sworn into Office in
1885. But he died before the year was
out, and until Vice President Morton
qualified in 1883. the presidents pro
tempore were John Sherman and John
]. ingalls,. the Republicans being in
the majority in the Senate. and there
fore electing d senator of that party
as presiding officer.
Vice President Hobart presided over
the Senate until 1899, and upon his
death in that year Senator Frye of
Maine was elected president pro tenn

Colorado Dairy Products.

Colorado creameries have paid out
S3,000.000 for dairy products the past
year.
They have made 100000 pounds of
butter.
They have bought the milk from
100000 cows.
They have distributed cash among
10000 dairy farmers.
They have shipped 100000 pounds
of butter out Of the state.
The Littleton creamery, on lower
Nineteenth street. In Denver. alone has
paid out 81 ,000,G00 to dairy farmers for
their products In the year just closed.
The Littleton has made 100000
pounds of butter and has shipped o.
100000 pounds of 1t to New York. San
Francisco and Seattle.
1t has taken 100000 gallons of
milk to make this butter and $4,000
cows have been MIXED morning and
evening every day of the year to fur
nish the milk and 10000 people on
farms have been handling the milk.
The creamery has fifteen special cars
which 1t sends out on fast passenger
trains to gather up the cream and
bring 1t to Denver, and the railroads
get 5000 a day for freight charges.
II 10 ciaiiheu tidt iof the hist eiHe
in the history of the state the amount
of dairy products were this year equal
to the home consumption. This does
not mean that products were not
shipped in from other states, but it
means that the exchange was equal,
and soon Colorado will begin to have a
balance of trade to her credit in her
commerce with the outside world in
these lines instead of having to be SUD-
piled.

GERMANY WANTS MORE CANALS.

Extensive Program, Involving Large
Sums, Is Laid Out.
Recently most extensive program
of canal building has been sanctioned
by the Prussian government, involving
an expenditure of e16,728,750. The
greater portion of this money is allo
Gated to the building of canal from
the Rhine to the Weser, including the
canalization of the Lippe. The water
way from Stettin to Berlin is to be
rendered navigable for large vessels:
at a cost of two millions, and smaller
sums are to be spent on improving the
waterway between the Oder and the
Vistula, and on the canalization Of
part of the Oder. This does not mark
the end of the canal development OF
the Moselle-Saar, the connection of
Leipzig with Rrisa, Qn the Elbe, and e
canal from SchweFin to the Baltic
are to be taken in hand For some
years past the Wurtemburg govern

Equality Between the Sexes.

Equality Between the Sexes.
The progress toward perfect equal.
ity for women is more rapid than ap.
pears on the surface. The ladies, bless
'em, are no longer standing back in
anything. They are in all lines OF
industry, competing with the tyrant
man. and the university professors
and sociologists are beginning to take
notice and butchers and bakers and
candlest1ck-makers are on the run.
Man has no sure grip on the monop.
oily of anything any more. He dare
not let go to spit on his hands, lest
his place be taken by sister woman
and he lose his job. Heretofore the
trousered tyrant has had burglary and
stage-robbing to himself, but now he
is in danger of losing both. 1t is an.
nounced from Oakland that lady
