Springfield Republican.
One of the many private pension bulls
which passed the House last week pro-
vided for increasing the pension of Ed
mund g. Ross from Sl2 to $50 a month.
No one recognized the name, and the bill
went through with the mass of others. But
the man was once Senator of the United
States and one of the nineteen who voted
against the conviction of Andrew John
son in the impeachment proceedings.
He served in the war as an officer in a
Kansas cavalry regiment. Of late years
Mr.. Ross has lived in poverty, working as
best lie could at the printers trade in
New Mexico.

ANOTHER TRUST
Effect on the Market of the Proposed
Southern Merger.
Iron Age

Rumors credit the sharp rise in the
shares of Southern iron companies to
another consolidation project. The COM
panies whose names are connected with the
scheme are the Tennessee Coal, Iron u
Railroad Company, the SlossShefield
Steel & Iron Company, the Republic Iron
& Steel Company and the Alabama Con-
solidated Coal & Iron Company. The Re-
public is not strictly Southern company,
but it has large interests IN the South
through its ownership of the Pioneer prop
erty, which makes it factor of consider
able importance in the Birmingham dis
trict. The great rise in the prices of the
stocks of the companies involved would
certainly seem to be due to other causes
than the prospect of dividends. Tennessee
common stock has paid no dividend for
several years, yet ls now selling in the sos.
Sloss-Sheffield common has never paid a
dividend, and Republic preferred has paid
no dividend for two years, but these two
tocks have recently sold above IS. Last
year they all sold down in the 3Os. All
three of these companies are now doing a
profitable business, it is true, and their
stocks are worth much more than year
ago, but the mere possibility of dividend
declarations would not justify such level
of values as the present, which must be
due to other considerations. Should a con-
solidation of these properties be accom-
plished it would mean much to the iron
trade.

they should have it. The rate bill passed

Knock out for a Farmers's Trust.
Mobile Register.

MODlle Register
A farmers's trust, contrary to the laws
of Kansas, has just received the condem-
nation Of the United States supreme court.
In rendering the decision the court once
more announced its support Of the princi-
pie that the state is supreme in the con-
troll of its own affairs.
1t appears that the wheat dealers OF
Bison, a Kansas town, united to hold
wheat and raise prices, thus creating a
trust or combination in restraint of trade.
The state prosecuted the secretary of the
combination as organizer of it and got a
decision against him. Heappealed to the
United States supreme court, and the
court says in effect that the state of Kan
sas has full power to control such opera
tons in the state, and the United States
supreme court will not interfere, because
the state law is not in this matter antagon-
istic to the fed sral constitution.

The Purpose of CsnltaI Punishment


Harpers Weekly.
1t is not claimed that hanging is ever bene-
fetal to the person hanged. When muir
derers aud others suffer capital punish
ment, it is done in the interest of the COM
munity, to make capital crimes unpopular,
and so to protect human life. To get rid
of the cost and trouble of maintaining a
murderer in confinement is good economy
but that is not much considered in rich
communities which have reached an ad-
vanced state of civilization. The great
purpose of capital punishmentis not even
to make guilt get its due. 1t is to make
life more secure. TO that end something
over 100 persons are put out of existence
by process of law in the United States
every year. There is no great cutlery in
the cases of men, but the disinclination to
execute women is widespread and deep.
Pei haps a wholesale murderess of the type
of Jane Toppan might haye been suffered
to pass out of life without much distur-
bance to the feelings of the public, but to
execute any ordinary murderess has come
TO involve so much distress to the instru-
ments of justice, and such protracted wor-
riment to whoever holds the power of
pardon or Communication Of sentence, that
the effort seems likely to be abandoned
even in States where capital punishment
for women is not abolished by law.

The School Book Issue.
Newport News Press.

Newport News Press.
A dispatch from Richmond indicates
that the school book question will play an
important part in the forthcoming guber-
material campaign. 1t is recalled that the
state school board some time ago, in ar
ranging for the adoption of new book
for the public schools, provided the mults
ple list-Chat is, ndorsed number from
which the local boards were empowered
to select. This, it is claimed, has resulted
in a state of confusion in efforts on the
port of the big book concerns to control
the local boards and in an increase Of cost
TO the patrons of the schools. All this, it
is asserted, would have been avoided had
the single list been adopted.
Governor Montague is said to have been
the only member of the board who IA
vored the single list. 1t was his desire to
have plan adopted by which school pa
irons would be able to secure good books
for their children at the lowest cost.
Hon. Joseph E. Willard already has an
nounced his position in regard to this i'm
portant matter, but neither Of his oppo.
ponents has done so. All of the predlc-
tions regarding the unsatisfactory results
which would follow as q result of the null
tple list have been more than verified.
There have been scandals and suspicious
in many sections. We believe that one
dispute growing out of the State boards
failure to do lis duty resulted in murder.
Tie people of the State should insist
upon being protected against the sort of
school methods which are considered de-
sirable by agents who have been known to
debauch State officials

PEACE NOT IN SIGHT.

A few days ago the civilized world was
led to hope that there was good prospect
for peace being made between Russia and
Japan. For more than year desperate
war has been waged between these two
countries, and hundreds of thousands of
lives have been lost in the conflict. Japan
was compelled to begin the war to stop
the aggressions of of Russia in the Orient,
and astounded the world by her success
both on land sea over what has been COT
sidered the greatest World Power. Since
the total destruction of the fleet of Russia
at Port Arthur and the surrender of that
stronghold TO the Japanese army, thee
has been but one opinion as to what the
Iesult will be if the war is fought to Bit
ter end.
After meeting with such a series of re-
verses and disasters in the war 1t would
have been wise for Russia to haye absn-
doned the contest, which was purely one
of greed on her part, and sue for an hon
orable peace. The wisdom of such
course would haye been heartily applaud
ed by other civilized peoples, and would
not have detracted seriously from the
standing of Russia among the strong ma
tons of the world. Russia, however. was
restrained from taking any steps for peace
by her pride and desire for conquest
Then came the internal troubles that are
now not only threatening but seem almost
certain to overthrow autocratic control in
Russia and bring constitutional govern
ment 10 the long-suferiDg people of that
country. But with bis own people in Ie-
volt and threatening to not only destroy
the presen6 form of government but to
take their rulers life, the situation has
become so serious that further prosecu-
Of the war against Japan is desperately
foolish. This the Emperor of Russia, or
rather bis advisers, has decided to do.
They still hope that General Kuropatkin
will be able to defeat Field Marshal
Oyalna and that the tide will turn in ia
vor of Russia. Thus the Russian EN-
pire has elected to trust its fortunes to the
hazard Of single battle. If Russia
wins 10 such battle the benefits it will
derive will be only temporary. 1t cannot
be made crushing enough to drive the
Japauefe from the Liotung Peninsula and
will not furnish the Russian army any
means for receiving supplies by water.
That army will still haye to rely upon the
Trans-Sberian railroad as means for Sc
curing reinforcements and supplies. Then,
if the great battle which is to be fought
should result in victory for the japanese,
the power of Russia will not only be over
thrown in Manchuria, but fresh impulse
will be given to the revolutionary spirit
that is now about to dominate the masses
in Russia.
The beginning of the war on the part
of Russia was unwise and the resolve Of
its rulers TO prolong the conflict under ex-
listing conditions is desperately foolish.

ISAAC w. ANDERSON SAID TO ee
NEGOTIATING FOR EUGENE.
OREGON, PLANT.
Also Has His Eye on a Gas Plant AZ
Eusene-Proposed Deal Will
Probably. Go Through. i,

II reports coming from Eugene, Or,
are true, Isaacs W.. Anderson, president
of the Northwestern Gas & Electric
company, and the man VINO will build
Walla Walla's street car system, will
soon be in control of the Lane County
Electric company, which owns and op-
Springfield, Ore.
According to the report that comes
from Eugene, I. w. Anderson, who rep
resents a big Philadelphia syndicate,
which is acquiring many electric light
plants in Washington and Oregon,
was in Eugene Friday, and while he
did not make public the object of his
visit there, it is reliably reported that
he is figuring with the Lane County
Electric company, which furnishes the
lights for Eugene and Springfield, to
purchase the company's big plant at
the latter place. Mr.. Anderson looked
over the valley in the vicinity of Eu-
gene and expressed himself as conf
dent that the proposed trolley line, if
extended south to Eugene, would be a
paying proposition.
1t is stated that Mr.. Anderson is the
promoter of the proposed gas plant in
Eugene, franchise for which has re-
Gently been granted by the city coun-
Gil. 1t is said that if the purchase of
the electric plant is made ne would OPP
crate both, and have a monopoly of
the lighting business, giving the people
their choice of the kind of light de-
sired by them.
The Philadelphia people represented
by Mr. Anderson will soon have a net

west. They already own the Walla
Walla, Pendleton, Baker City, Salem
and Boise, and last fall spent over a
quarter of a million dollars on new
power plant on the south fork Of the

while a big figure was paid for the Ba-
ker City plant.
