IN FIELD OF LITERATURE

The Red Book for January.-The
January issue of the Red Book Maya
zine, most popular of all the distinctly
short fiction publications, has appeared
and sustains the earlier announcement
that the issues for 1907 would surpass
in interest all that have gone before.
The number opens with 50 art por-
traits of American actresses whose
beauty and talent have won them their
places on the American stage; and
closes with a timely dramatic article
| by Louis V. De Foe, in which the we'll
known critic tells the stories of the
newest plays. Between these two ad-
mirable features are grouped a num-
Der of the best and most diversified
short tales the Red Book Magazine has
ever published. when Genius Awoke"
is charming story with a musical
motif by Ella Middleton Tybout; Gag
ler's Clean Record" is very signifi-
cant political tale by Elliott Flower;
''The Chevalier of the Golden Coin" by
Leo Crane, presents a soldier of Ma
poleon in the guise of matchmaker:
For the AdOmment of a Napa Wall"
by Lefa Field Hubbell, is a story of a
schOOlma'am in the Philippines; 1.-The
Golden Chalice" is a tender little story
of an old French cure by Alice and
Claude Askew; THE Fly in the Oint-
ment' is another of William Hamilton
Osborne's fascinating legal-political
stories. Among the other leading short
story writer's whose latest work APP
pears in the January issue of the Red
Book Magazine are George Bronson
Howard, Eloise Lee Sherman. F. l..
Stealey, Forrest Crissey, Katherine
Perry, Owen Oliver Roland Ashford
Phillips, and Barton Wood Currie.

The Mother ofTrusts.

The National Civic Federation has
been in session in New York this week,
and among the speakers was Melville
E. Ingals of Cincinnati, chairman of
the board of directors of the Big Four
railroad
1t could naturally be expected that
Mr.. ingalls,, connected as he is with
one of the big corporations of the
country, would be in favor of laws
and practices which made the over
grown corporations and trusts possible
and immensely profitable. Strange to
say, however, he aligned himself on
the side of those who are seeking to
reform and correct existing evils and
struck right to the heart of the diff
Guilty in his forceful address
''It is no use to talk he said,
against large fortunes derived from
large corporations, and how to prevent
them when you keep the mother tariff
that breeds and nurses them in full
force
The stand-patter, of course, denies
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-12-22

that this is true. They refuse TO ad
NIT that the tariff fosters the trusts
and they do this in the face of evi
dence that seems conclusive.
AS an instance, how long would the
great steel trust last if all tariff was
removed from its products? Take steel
rails as a sample. The trust has sold
rails in Europe for $40 ton less than
in this country and made profit on
the business. How is it enabled TO
charge more here? Simply because of
the tariff.
The trust is capitalized for many
times more than its actual value. 1t
pays big dividends on this false value.
Without a tariff it could not do this.
Remove the tariff and it would still
make money on its products, but could
not pay profits on its inflated valua-
ton. The water would be squeezed
out and the big trust would probably
disintegrate of its own accord.
But whether it would or not it is
certain that it would not be able to
extort excessive prices for its products
from home consumers. We have the
HOiu VI AuuIGN SdIhSSlS anu SHdIIeS
Schwab that steel rails can be pro-
duced and sold at fair profit for SIS
and less a ton.
What is true of steel rails is true
of all the products of this great trust
and what is true of this trust is true
of them all
Remove the tariff from the products
of the trusts and you will probably re-
move the trusts or will at least so
curtail their powers to extort that they
will cease to be a great national men.

THINK WHITE MAY HAVE
KILLED SARAH SCHAEFER
Bedford, Ind, Police Admit They Fol-
lowed Him to New Orleans
Three Years Ago.

Bedford, Ind, Dec. 22-The police
of Bedford now believe there is some
thing in the confession of the man Ber-
ger, in Jail at Goshen, that he killed
Sarah Schaefer, and that a man named
White paid him $500 for doing it. 1t
is admitted for the first time that the
detectives searched for White three
years ago, following him to New Or
leans and other cities, but losing all
trace of him. The clew upon which
the detectives worked came in a letter
saying that White had paid $500 to
have the Schaefer girl murdered. No
hint of the pursuit of White was ever
given to the public.

Currency legislation at the presen,

considerable time in talking OF the
necessity of currency legislation, bu'
did not have before it any bills advo

A DREADFUL POSSIBILITY.

Not long since the Houston Post
remarked that if there were but one
potato in the world q careful cult.
vator might produce 10000, 600, 600
from it in ten years and thus supply
the world with seed again. This led
Henry Watterson of the Louisville
Courier.Journal to say:
"Again the devil has found work
for the idle hands of the statistician
to do. 1t is all very we'll to work out
this problem in the abstract, but let
US see to it that nobody hampers with
the fate of the humble, homely, but
useful spud by attempting a practical
demonstration. Let the experimental
practice upon something upon which
the happiness of the teeming millions
OF the earth is less dependent. There
Is, for tx ample, the English sparrow,
an entirely useless bird except for pur.
poses of demonstrating problems in
multiplication which stagger the con-
templating mind. Two English spar.
rows, not in the hands of a careful
bird fancier, but merely turned loose
upon an unoffending world, would
produce something like 10, 1000, 600
sparrows in a decade. And if they
didn't, it would matter to none except
the demonstrators. But our happiness,
and the happiness of the %uncounted
millions yet unborn, who in their ap.
pointed time must abide upon the
earth for a little hour or two "like
now upon the deserts dust face" is
inextricably entangled with the fate OF
the Irish potato.
"The land would be awash with
tears if mankind should be bereft of
the consolation Of shoestring potatoes,
baked potatoes, German fried,
French fried, prepared au gratin,
made into pies, served a la Bernhard,
u la Nethersolc and in a hundred
other ways. Suppose, through the
pernicious activity of the statistician,
one lone potato were left in the world
to testify to the vigor Of a mighty but
fallen race, and suppose that hal lit.
tie vegetable should prove a race sui
eide potato, what them
