The st. Paul Pioneer Press gives the
following summary of the more impor-
TAM antitrust proceedings:
The government has begun general
prosecution of the Standard Oil Com
pany wherever grounds for legal action
against the so-called oil trust can be
found. Involved in this federal prose
cution are various great railways, IN
Guiding the Pennsylvania, the Lake
Shore and others. Attorney General
Moody is making vigorous attempt to
prove the giving of secret rebates TO
the Standard Oil company by certain
railroads. 1t is hoped by the govern
ment that criminal indictments can be
brought.
In the fall the government will con-
tinue it's prosecution OF the beef trust
as a combination in restraint Of trade.
The decision of Judge Humphrey that
the officials could not be prosecuted in
diyidually defeated the effort of the
government to land some of the big
beef men in Jail.
Prosecutions Of ice trusts are in pro-
gress, and in Toledo heads Of five ice
companies have been sent to Jail. War
rants have also been issued in Pennsyl-
vania.
For the first time in this country men
accused Of rebating have been sentenc-
ed to Jail, l.. b. Taggart and George l..
Thomas of New York having been con
victed in Kansas City. Four meat
packing companies and the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroad, found
guilty in connection with the same
charges, were heavily fined.
The Chicago and Alton has been
found guilty of.giving rebates and fined
$4,000, while two former officials Of
the road were also heavily fined
Eighty heads Of companies belonging
to what is known as the fertilizer trust
have ben indicted in the federal courts.
The so-called elevator trust west Of
the Rocky mountains has been perpetu-
ally eDjoined from violation of the Sher-
man antitrust laws.
Two officials of the New York Cen
trail have been indicted in connection
with rebates alleged to have been given
to the sugar combine.
What was known as the Northwest
paper trust has been ordered dissolved
in federal court at st. Paul.

National Republican Ticket.

The attorney general has decided that
the National Republican ticket must be
included among those necessary to com
plete the primary ballot. This. same
National Republican" ticket had its
origin with the boilers from the Repub-
hcan state convention of two years ago.
Congressman Babcoek, contrary to the
practically unanimous sentiment of the
representation of his district in said
memorable state convention. was a
wheel-horse of the boilers. Hence, if
Mr. Babcock desires to again seek re-
nomination, the decision of the attorney
general should prove of special conyen-
fence to him and others of the new par
ty; otherwise the individual route to of
flee would be the only one left them.
In order to refresh the memory of
the people, and to prove the Tribune S
correctness in it prem SEES, Mr.. Bah
cocks address approving the acts of
the boilers, made ut their so-called con
vention. held at the Fuller opera house,
Madison, on the 10Th of May, 1904, is
here republished, as follows;
Il want to say here, that my best
efforts, and every moment of time
that is possible to devote to the
state of Wisconsin, will be given,
that the ticket National Repubi-
can, rcmembcrl you represent may
he successful and that your efforts
las bolters) may be crowned with
glory. Gentlemen, thank you for
your kind attention.
With all this, like nearly everything
else, there's a funny side The supreme
court, as all know, rendered an opinion
to the effect that the boilers were not
the legal Republicans, that they had
left that party Yet Mr.. Babcock. af-
ter said decision, fled his nomination
papers in such way that he might be
pulled through with the real Repuhli-
cans. And it was awful hard pulling.
Judge Mahoney is the only Republi-
can who has announced his candidacy.
notwithstanding nomination papers are
being circulated in the interest Of Mr..
Babcock.

THE reception given Senator La Fol
lette in Milwaukee last Friday evening,
the occasion being his first appearance
in that city since his return from Wash
ington, was far out Of the ordinary,
and one which no doubt will ever be
kept green in the memory of the sena-
tor United States senator's have come
and gone before, but none ever received
such hearty reception in the state
metropolis He simply landed there for
supper enroute to another state to full
fill lecture engagements. His coming
being heralded, over three hundred per-
sons awaited his exit from the dining
room, to extend greeting and shout
heartily, Three cheers for Bob" The
senator was pressed for an impromptu
speech and was found ready. His re-
marks were confined mainly to state af-
fairs and the front rank position Wis
consin has taken among all states as a
leader for what is wholesome, for what
is right. His pleadngs to not only hole
the fort, but for an advancement of the
battle lines, We're delivered in that Wig
orous, fearless, convincing style so
characteristic of LaFollette. The ad-
dress was a gem, pronounced by those
present, irrespective of party ailila-
tons, masterpiece from statesman
ship standpoint. In the course of his
remarks the senator declared himself
in favor of Lenroot for governor, stat
ing clearly and frankly his reasons.

FIFTY-slx railways report TO the
Wall Street Journal the receipts of
1902, 7l3, $50 in the past eleven months.
This is sos, ST, 206 over their receipts in
the same time last year, which is more
than IL per cent gain. After deducting
expenses the net gain is over Is per
cent. This shows that notwithstanding
the apparent hard fighting that has
been made on the railroads they are
prospecting more than ever. And that
is entirely natural consequence. The
fighting cut off thousands upon thou
sands Of free passes. The free pass
men have had to pay fare. Rebates to
favorite shippers have been prevented.
The railroads gain the amount of the
rebates.

A Famous Newspaper Man.

William f. Curtis, the famous cor
respondent of The Chicago Record Her
aid writes two-column letter for his
paper every day in the year without
intermission. His powers of sustained
work are as great marvel as his fac
ulty of always making his matter in
teresting.
Probably no other newspaper cores
pondent in the country is read so reg
ularly and eagerly by SO many
thousands of men and women as Mr..
Curtis. Mr.. Curtis has travelled sever
al times around the world, visiting ev-
/ cry country under the sun, and writing
larger number of brilliant and inter
esting letters of travel than were ever
before produced by a single hand.
Many of these have later been reprint
ed in book form. One of his latest ex-
petitions for The Record Herald was
through Mexico, resulting in series
of letters as entertaining as those he
wrote few years from India, Turkey,
and the Holy Land. His forthcoming
letters from Ireland, Russia and Ger
many will rival in Importance and in
terest any of his previous contributions.
Mr., Curtis is a member of almost
every learned organization in Washing
ton and many in Europe. 1t is not
strange that The Record-Herald prints
Mr.. Curtis letter every day in the first
column of the front page, ard that
nothing but a California earthquake
can displace it from that station of
homer
1t has caused re molaughs and dried
more tears, wiped away diseases and
driven away more fears than any other
medicine in the world. HOLSTER S

the face of the fact that il was a nom

Davis asserts that the State cX-
penditures on account Of fish and game

not tell the whole story and admit the
fact that the actual expenditure is no

pagation and that the game protection

plains that the State is paying more in

years ago why does he not give credit
to the fact that a considerable part of
this increase comes from the abolition

One Issue Which They Cling to.
(SomcrSet Reportcr.)

tsopllltTSet reporter
In the last Presidential campaign the
Democrats declared imperialism" as
the paramount issue. and that a change
of administration was necessary to
save this country from the dangers Of
such policy. But the statcsmanlike
policy of the Republican party never
shown brighter than at the present
time. We have been setting up a
stable government in the islands of the
sea that belong to us, giving
guarantees of life and property and
freedom of trade. There is nothing in
this that looks like Imperialism or
greed for expansion Of territory and
this issue they will drop in future
campaigns along with the silver issue.
And for heavens sake tell us what
measure the Democratic party ever
advocated that it has not abandoned.
The rum issue is the only one we can
remember that they have held closely
to. On that they stand pat
