THERE seems to be one serious diff
ficulty to be overcome before the fed
eral government can get after the
trusts as it should do. All this talk
about indictments against the trust
and fines, if found guilty, is very
good, but it will never accomplish the
purpose. Some one individual is re-
sponsible for violations of the law by
any trust and should be imprisoned
like ordinary law breakers. 1t may
be claimed that it is impossible to 10
cate the guilty party, but full in
vestigation will reveal the right one,
If the courts would hold the head of
corporation responsible, they would
mighty soon put an end to trust vic
lation of the laws.

world have come reports nearly every
day that Stensland was here, there,
and everywhere. But the newspaper
reporter had the right trail and fol-
lowed it true to the end, securing the
arrest of the great bank wrecker in
less than 30 days from the day the
bank closed.
The closing of the doors of the Mil
waukee Avenue State Bank. which oc
Cured on Aug. 6, probably caused
more anguish, suffering trouble than
any similar event in the west in many
years. 1t was followed by several
cases of suicide and number of peo-
pie were driven to insanity.
Stensland lived fast life, spent
money recklessly, speculated wildly
and in one way and another made
way with about Sl,0OO,0OO of the
money of the bank before the crash
came.
More than 22,OO0 families had mon
ey deposited in the bank and the
failure came as crushing blow to
them.
The vast majority of the depositors
were wage earners and the money
they had in the bank represented all
they had been able to save from the
earning of years.
1t is to be hoped that Stensland
will receive the "Iimit," and that it
will be for life. The fact is that he
is guilty of breach of faith with
the public, which caused several
deaths, and he is therefore as much
a murderer as any man who takes a
life without premeditation.
The capture of Stensland is only
another feather in the cap of the
metropolitan press. Some of the
greatest criminals of the day are cap
tured through this agency, while the
great detective forces of Chicago, New
York, London, and Paris fail. The
fact is that many captures by these
forces are due to information furnish
ed by press representatives.

time that he first introduced the bill
in the senate, the Senator has never
lost an opportunity to set forth in
forcible language the urgent need of
such a law. AT first the public
rather looked upon the measure
lightly and considered it simply as
a hobby of the Senator's. Public
opinion has rapidly changed, how
ever, during the past year on this
question and today the Senator is
receiving the hearty cooperation of
the leading newspapers of the cas-,
and also of a mum Der of magazines.
Late reports from Washington are
to the effect that the pure food bill
will pass both houses of congress a,
this session. An evidence of tho
need of this law was brought to
light in Montpelier the past week,
the particulars Of which are related
in another column Of this issue.

BY the death of Reese Davis,
which occurred unexpectedly at his
home in Caldwell last Sunday, the
newspaper fraternity has lost one of
its very brightest members. He was
recognized as the most versatile
editorial writer in the state and has
welded considerable influence in the
politics Of Idaho. He has been edi-
tor of the Caldwell Tribune since
1893, having purchased the paper
from the Steunenberg brothers. He
represented Oneida county in the
Legislature in 1887 and served as
commissioner of immigration and
labor during portion of Governor
Morrison's term.
Although endowed with intellect
which placed him in the rank of the
states brightest men and possessing
that kindly disposition which won
for him the friendship of all who
enjoyed his acquaintance, poor
Reese was the victim of a weakness
which it seemed impossible for him
to overcome. Had 1t not been for
this one failing of this noble and
lovable man, Reese Davis could
have held any political Office with
in the gift of the people of Ida
no. But now that he has passed to
that bourne from whence no traveller
ever returns, let us draw the mantle
Of charity over his shortcomings.
forget the dark side of his life and
cherish in our memory only the
many good and beautiful words he
wrote when he was his real self.

Consolidation Of School Districts.

The proposition to consolidate the two
school districts of Montpelier, is meeting
with but very little opposition. Only
two or three in the lower district refus-
ed to sign the petition, and in the upper
district at least two-thirds of those who
are qualified to do SO, will sign for the
consolidation. For the information of
all, we will say that it is not the inten-
ton of those pushing this movement to
ask the people to vote more bonds this
year to erect high school, as it will
take year or more to complete all the
preliminary steps leading up to that.
By that time the financial condition of
the one district will be such that the
voting Of $12, 900 or SIS, 600 more bonds
will not add any increased taxation on
the people.

There is an old saying that "what
J people don't know won't hurt Them .
That may be true in good many
cases, but it is far from being true
when it comes to not knowing the
purity of the foods they eat, es-
peclally of the canned and bottled
products. Up to year or SO ago,
when the crusade was started in this
and other states against the impure
and injurious foods that were sold
everywhere, people were daily eat
ing various kinds of canned and
bottle stuffs that were highly injurl-
GUS to their systems, because of the
poisonous substances used in color
ing and preserving the products.
Through the passage of pure food
laws in a number of the states, much
of these deleterious foods have been
banished from the markets. There
is still ample room for work along
this line, and Senator Hepburn is TO
be strongly commended for his eff
forts to secure the passage of ma
tional pure food bill. From the
