SUGAR Trust Favored.

1.-THE attorney general reports to me
that the investigation now going on
as to the shipments by the sugar trust
over the trunk lines running out OF
New York city tends to show that the
sugar trust rarely If ever pays the law
full rate for transportation, and is thus
improperly and probably unlawfully'
favored at the expense OF It's compet-
tors and Of the general public.
"In the effort to prevent the rail
roads from uniting for improper pur-
poses we have very unwisely prohib
tied them from uniting for proper pur-
poses; that is, for purposes Of protec-
ton to themselves and TO the general
public as against the power Of the
great corporations They should Ger.
tainly be given power thus to unite on
conditions laid down By congress. such
conditions to include the specific ap-
proyal of the interstate commerce
commission of any agreement to which
the railroads may come. In addition
to this, the government must interfere
through its agents to deprive the. rail
road of the ability to make to the big
corporations the concessions which
otherwise it is powerless to refuse.

Bio Profits in Secret Rates.

But in addition to these secret rates
the Standard Oil profits immensely by
open rates. which are so arranged as
to give it an overwhelming advantage
over its Independent competitors. The
refusal of the railroads in certain cases
to prorate produces analogous effects.
Thus. in New England the refusal OF
certain railway systems to prorate has
resulted in keeping the Standard Oil
in absolute monopolistic control of the
field. enabling it to charge 100000 to
$500 600 a year more to the consumers
of oil in New England than they would
have had to pay had the price paid
been that obtained in the competitive
fields

Presidents Message.

In his message the president eN-
presses the view that the report is OF
great importance because of the effort
now being made to secure such en-
lareement of the powers of the inter
state commerce commission as will
confer upon the commission power 10
meet the clearly demonstrated needs
OF the situation. The statement IS
added that the department Of justice
VIII take up the question of instituting
prosecutions in at least certain of the
ca SEES. and the hope is expressed that
congress- will enact into law bill Of
Senator Knox 10 correct the interpre-
tation of the immunity provision rem
dored in Judge Humphreys decision
Continuing, the president says:
"The report shows that the Standard
Oil company has benefited enormously
up almost to the present moment by
secret rates. many of these secret
rates being clearly unlawful The ben
eft amounts to at least $3.50. O00a year
This $3.50 900 represents the profit that
the Standard Oil company obtains at
the expense of the railroads; but Of
course the ultimate result is that 1t
obtains a much larger profit at the ex-
pcnse Of the public.

l am fifteen years Of age, and yet
my parents insist on me going to bed
at O'Clock each evening. Won't you
tell them through your columns what
you think about Urinary.
Poor distressed little lamb, your
parents should permit you to remain
up until midnight If you want to do
so. They have forgotten that they
were young once. Girls Of fifteen are
old enough to take care of themselves
and there is no sense in your parents
objection to your taking nightly
buggy ride with your gentlemen
friends. OF course, some OF the
neighbors who note that you do not
get in until eleven or twelve O'Clock
may talk a little, and after awhile say
real bad things about you, but you
can live that down. A nightly buggy
ride is very nealtnlul TOT girls Ol your
age, but if you can not take the ride
each night, you certainly ought to
have the privilege of sitting up until
one o'clock reading some OF Laura
Jane Libby's or Bertha NJ. Clay's fine
books. You ought to have an oppor-
/ tunity to cultivate your mind, If not
your gentlemen friends. THE RE.
PUBLICAN doesn't want TO appear to

they must be mean old things" but

that no girl who goes to bed regularly

Delight Of Children Originated In
Worlds Toyshop.
Marbles got their name from the
fact that originally little bits of mar.
bles were rolled down the hills and
rounded and pounded by other stones
until they become toys for children to
play with.
1t is said that the Dutchman ex.
ported them 10 England from where
we got them. Whether they did or not
makes little difference to the boys and
girls of to-day. No matter who intro.
duced the world to marbles as TOYS,
they are with us, and always will be.
Some of you win them from other
children-some of you trade postage
stamps for them; but some person or
iginally bought them from the little
store around the corner. whose owner
got them from that greatest toy shop
In the world-Germany
In the beginning marbles were call.
ed bowls, and men and women played
with them, as well as children. Hun
dreds of millions OF commies and
agates and classics and sinners are
sent to America and the children get
more pleasure out of these cheap lit
tie toys than almos. anything else
