AFTER THE SUGAR TRUST
ConWctins Evidence Given The In.
terState Commerce Commits.
ston by ". R. Hearst.

William Randolph Hearst is at
ter the Sugar Trust. He has
placed in the hands of the Inter
state Commerce Commission doc
umentary and other evidence con-
elusive that the Sugar Trust has
been getting rebates from the rail
roads. These rebates on freight
are such that no competitor can
secure.
Convictions under the Inter-
state Commerce Act will subject
the corporations to fines only.
But upon the facts put in pos
session of the Attorney General
by Mr.. Hearst there is every
likelihood that the Sherman Anti
Trust Act can be brought to bear,
in which case the penalty of i'm
prisonment will be inflicted upon
the conspiritors in restraint of
trade.
The spectacle of a few million
aire railroad men and trust GRIM
inals, in stripes and covering,
startling at the aroused American
people from behind the barred
windows of a Jail would be of in
finite value in putting curb up
on the constituencies and insolent
piracy which steals the honest
name of business wherewith to
cloak itself.
Toward the end, toward the
high cause of stopping the pillage
of the people through degradation
of the Nations highways to the
service of highway robbers, Mr..
Hearst does his part by filing his
complaint and placing his proofs
with the Attorney General of the
United States. 1t now lies with
the Department of Justice and
President Roosevelt to bring into
court the men of corporations I'M

the law without fear of their

The GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The record of the regular ses-
sion of the General Assembly,
which ended at midnight, is to be
credited with the passage of some
excellent measures and the de-
feat of others that would have
worked injury to the State. Some
of the best bills before the AS
sembly, however, were defeated
because majority of the mem
bers failed to make use of the op-
portunity for disinterested and
patriotic service.
Louisville, however has little
cause for complaint, the meas
ures in which she was especially
interested meeting with favora-
BILE consideration and prompt &C
ton. The enabling acts, under
which the Mayor has already ap-
pointed the Sewer and Water
Commissions; the bill providing
the tax levy for the erection of
a sanatarium for consumptives;
the bill for a uniform system of
streets and the Juvenile Court
bill represent legislation certain
to prove of material benefit to the
city. The Louisville delegation
in both Houses has worked con-
sistently and successfully in Louis
ville's behalf, and to them the
city owes in chief measues the
chief fact that she Jared so well.

THEORY vs., PRACTICE.

During the College days of Elk
Mayor Bessom, Of Lynn, Mass,
he had two of the college profess
ors as guests at hunting camp
in the Maine woods. When they
entered the camp their attention
was attracted by the unusual po-
sition of the stove, which was set
on posts about four feet high.
One of the professors began to
comment upon the knowledge
woodmen gain by observation.
Now" said he, this man has
discovered that the heat radiat-
ing from the stove stikes the roof
and the circulation is so quicken
ed that the camp is warmed in
much less time than would be re-
quired if the stove was in it's reg
ular place on the floor"
The other professor was of the
opinion that she stove was elevat-
ed to be above the window, in
order that pure air could be had
at night.
Mr.. Bessom, being more prac-
teal, contended that the stove
was elevated in order that a good
supply of green wood could be
placed beneath it to dry.
After considerable argument
each man placed a silver dollar
on the table and it was agreed
that the one whose opinion was
nearest the guides reason for
elevating the stove should take
the pool. The guide was called
and asked why he had placed the
stove in such an unusual position.
''Well' said he when l brought
the stove up the river / lost most
of the stovepipe overheard and
had to set the stove up there sc
as to have the pipe reach through
the roof"
He got the money.

"PRINCE OF PEACE"

The Manila Times. referring to
Mr.. Bryan's lecture, THE
Prince of Peace" says:
1.-The lecture of last night re-
vealed Mr.. Bryan in a new role,
a role with which he is not gen
orally associated that of preach
er.
Somehow it seems so foreign
for a man whose life has been
devoted mostly to politics to deal
with Christianity that in spite of
his explanatory prologue and In
spite of the harmonious and, may
it be said, inoffensive manner in
which he presented his subject,
the element of surprise was not
entirely overcome.
Nevertheless it is we and our
ideals rather than Mr.. Bryan
and his ideals that are mostly at
fault. 1t is to our shame thai
we have allowed the method by
which we choose as our national
representation the best man or
the man who represents or is be-
lieved by most of his fellow citi-
zens to reresent the best or most.
advantageous measures or prin-
ciples, to degenerate so that it
seems homogeneous to mention
politics and religion in the same
breath.
by soaring above this arbi-
trary and degrading limitation
and Obliterating the false lines
which have been raised, MIR.
Bryan again showed himself the
large man that he is.
HE also showed that he is
better than great-that he is
good; and, however far astray
the American people may some
times go and however lenient
they may at times appear toward
those public men who transgress
national ideas of decency, vet in
the end they may be trusted to
see true and cast out him who In
his private life is believed to be
unworthy of public honor.
Whether Mr.. Bryan will ever
gain the proud distiction of being
elected the first citizen of the
United States is a question which
no man can now answer. But,
as many of those who heard him
last night remarked, he has
achieved more than that, he has
made himself worthy of it. -

FOR DISTRIBUTING sILAeE.
Continuance In SiIo Which Facilitates
the Filling Operations.

Many farmers sustain more or less
loss each year because. of the uneven
settling of material in the silo. This
is due to the uneven distribution of
the silage as it falls from the blower
1t results in an uneven packing, and
consequently settling. Either one or
two extremes is generally noted; the
silage Is either packed too hard in the
center, and not enough about the
walls. or vice versa The latter re-
suits in an uneven settling that is
ruinous to a part of the silage, says
Montreal Herald. No matter how hard
one man may work, or how careful
he may try to be in spreading out
the cut stuff, there is always a posi-.
bility that there will be extremes OF
tight or loose packed places Where
the blower is used, a device for even.

ESTIMATING A cows VALUE.
The High-Priced Animal ls Generally
the More Profitable.

In increasing herd so in replac-
ing those that have been culled out.
the average productiveness is often
kept down by our strong inclination to
buy cheap cows instead of good ones.
For example, a COW that will give on
an average, q gallon of milk the year
round will cost. we will say, $50; one
that will give one and half gallons
will cost $50, and one that will give
two gallons will cost 500. We know
that the expense of keeping each OF
these three cows Is practically the
same, and for the purpose OF illustraSs
ing this point we will say that 1t costs
S41.20 to keep each a year. We find.
therefore, that II the milk tests As
per cent. butterfat, the one-gallon COW
will produce about 1913 pounds OF
butter, which at rs cents per pound
will bring $41.20. The one-gallon COW,
therefore, pays expenses exactly, but
not one cent interest on the invest
ment. The one and half gallon
cow, which cost $50 to begin with,
makes profit of 5000 year, while
the $40 cow, giving two gallons per
day, makes profit OF $4120 year.
Therefore, which would you prefer to
do? Invest 500 In one COW that will
produce profit of $41.60 year. or
invest 500 in three cows, all of which
will not produce one cent profit in the
year? This Is an illustration of the
exact condition that exists in many
of our herds to-day, and until we dis
pose of those $50 boarders we can
never make the dairy pay, no matter
ow we feed them.
