CHIEF OFFENDER ATTACKED
President Roosevelt's Method of Deal
ing with Enemies Of
the People.

1t Is characteristic Of President
Roosevelt's courage that in leading
the peoples attack against the law
less he has selected the offender that
is chief in power and in pernicious in
huence. 1t is characteristic OF the
presidents directness that he has
mentioned that offender by name, and
II Is characteristic OF his fidelity that
he proposes to use all the available
power of the government to undo the
misdoing and to punish the misdoer
1t has been the general belief, says
the Troy Times, that the Standard
Oil company has been amassing great
wealth by crushing out competition
and by the employment for this end of
illegal combinations and agreements
The thorough and untiring investiga-
ton made by Commissioner Garfield
or the bureau OF corporations. has
amassed facts which prove that secret
rebates granted by the Standard Oil
company and oppressive discrimina-
tlon In open rates have given to that
enormous corporation a decisive and
overwhelming advantage over com
that rates only one-third of what was
charged to other shippers were given
to the Standard Oil company jim this
state.
President Roosevelt has informed
congress of the facts and Justly de-
scribed the situation as n character
lstic example of the numerous evils
which are inevitable under a system
In which the big shipper and the rail
road are left free to crush out all in
dividual initiative and all power of
independent action because of the abb
sence of adequate and thorough-g going
governmental control"
The president rightly holds that so
outrageous a breach of equity in the
entertainment upon popular right and
so gross a violation of the principles
or business fairness constitute a blow
at the people and menace to the pur-
poses which the American govern
ment was established to maintain and
defend. The president suggests, there
fore, that to an administrative agency
be given power to control and check
the treacherous abuses of such a cor
poration as the one under review. and
plainly indicates his willingness to
use all the means open to the execu-
tive to attack this organized injustice
and to protect its victims among the
business interests and the individual
consumers of the country.
Great offenses deserve heroic RENE
dies, and, as the president says. any
Injustice which NAV ne nredicted of
an administrative commission would
not begin to be so outrageously cruel
as what has already been proved
against one of the big corporations of
this country.

DEMAND NOT POPULAR.
Change Of the Dingley Schedules Nov
Called for by the People
in General.

No Republican from Wisconsin.
Massachusetts, Iowa or anywhere else
who has assailed the tariff this year
has voiced the view of the Republican
party. The Dingley act has been in
operation nine years. 1t has had a
longer life than the Wilson German
law which it displaced. Also it has
lived longer than did the Mckinley
act, which the Democrats repealed
when they put the Wilson German
law on the statute book. So, likewise.
it has been with us for more years
than was the act OF 1888, which the
Mckinley law succeeded. Dingley's
tariff has had n longer career than
any other law in it's field since Nor
rilIs, which was passed in 1861. But
the Dingley act continues to give a
good account of itself, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. 1t furnishes
both revenue and protection, and the
Wilson act provided neither the one
nor the other. Nothing that any DEM
ocrat has ever said against the Ding
ley law has been as severe as Cleve..
lands denunciation Of the Democratic
Wilson-Gorman act. the party per-
fidy and party dlshonor law" which
Cleveland CONTEMPORARY refused 10
sign. but let it get on the statute book
through the expiration of the ten
days time limit. There is no popular
demand among the Republicans for
the repeal or material modification of
the Dingley tariff. On the contrary.
any tampering with that act at this
time would arouse Republican hostil-
ity all over the country. No Repub
lican who assails &c can long main
tain his standing I'm the party. A
Democratic assault on either the tar
in or the flag in the Philippines I'm the
congressional canvass of 1906 woult
insure a Republican majority I'm the
elections which would make all the

1894 look narrow.

DIR. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-

act on the bowels but they actually make

Williams Pink Pills cure rheuma-
tism because they make rich, red blood
and no man or woman can have healthy

They have also cured many cases of

TARIFF REPEAL NOT NEEDED
San Francisco Should Not Be Re
built with Steel from
Abroad.

We do not believe San Francisco Is
party to the cry for repeal of the
tarin on structural steel while the city
is rebuilding. There is no occasion
for such repeal. says the Pittsburg Ga
zette. American manufacturers can
supply the demand. Pittsburg mills
can do 1t and would set other work
aside II necessary that rebuilding
should not be retarded This at
prices hardly greater than would be
paid for foreign material IL the tariff
should be removed. In a recent hear
ing before the committee on merchant
marine and fisheries, Judge Gary,
chairman of the United States Steel
corporation, quoted the prices in this
country and abroad. BY that state
ment II may seen the export prices Of
Great Britain. Germany, France. Aus
tria and Belgium on structural shapes
range from $1.25 to s1.45, while the
American price is about $3.50 Add
ing freight. the price, delivered, would
give no appreciable advantage to the
San Francisco builders, but might
take much money from this country.
president Roosevelt rejected foreign
contributions to the relief fund and It
would be a remarkable exhibit on the
part or contress to extend an invita-
ton to foreign manufacturers to sup
ply the material for rebuilding the
city. While Germany is building it's
tariff wall higher and is paying a
bounty on steel exports, to enable her
manufacturers to quote low prices.
there is no call for the United States
to open the door even in the face OF
calamity Great Britain is not in DO
sition to furnish the material more
promptly than this country can. and
having a higher production cost and
no bounty, could not compete with
Germany in the bidding.
Should material be brought from
abroad 1t would benefit neither the
railroads nor the industrial concerns
which have given so literally to the
sufferers. All would come direct by
water in foreign bottoms. San Fran
cisco would be ashamed to rebuild
with foreign steel The members of
congress who introduced the bills de-
clare that they did so under the ms
apprehension that American mills
could not supply the demand. That
impression having been corrected,
there is just one proper course to take
That Is to withdraw the bills and let
the matter drop. No hardship will be
imposed thereby on the San Francisco
rebuilders.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.

The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
tects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested

Up under the shell of the wheat berry

This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape-
sugar, which is the next form: but that
part Of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best 1t can, without the help that ma.
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis. peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts OF
trouble exist when we go so contrary

these facts. made use in their experi-
ments OF the entire wheat and barle =

In this way the starchy part IS trans.

The little sparkling crystaIo of crane

A LIVE ISSUE CERTAINLY.
rom Present Indications the Tariff
Will Be Much in Evil
dence.

II saying so would only make it so.
there would be much cause for gratifi-
cation in the opinion expressed by the
Pittsburg Press.
THE tariff involves at most no
fundamental principle. 1t is merely
an administrative question, within
certain lines. Not even the most en-
phatic revisionists have the temeritv
to demand free trade. All they want
Is readjustment of schedules. They
admit that the country is prosperous
and that the protective principle I'M
derlying our tariff policy should NOT
be disturbed. Manifestly, then. the
tariff is a question which can and
will wait There are a dozen other
matters more pressingly in need of
regulation. Tariff revision talk now
would induce sleep anywhere. from a
crossroads political meeting to the
presidents cabinet"
Nevertheless, says the American

vision talk going on right now. and
