the donations which come from this

POWERS WISE ACTI

Judge Powers at Ida Grove seems to
be IL man considerable of his fellows.
The spring term of court was ad-
journed and all cases not to be tried
to the court have gone over to the fan
term. because each and every member
of the jury asked to be excused. 1t
was seeding time on the farms, and
the men who had been drawn could not
afford to waste their time in the court
room, listening to endless discussions
of matters that in themselves were OF
little Importance. And the judge read
lily perceived the harvests were more
important than litigation. and ne
solved the problem by adjourning the

SOME REASONS FOR oIs1Rusr.

SOME REASONS FUR OlSIkUST.
Senator Tillman was probably sin
cere when he flew to the defense of the
senate the other day and there neet
be no doubt that his encomiums O
good men in the senate were worthily
earned and well deserved. Neverthe-
less. neither Tillman nor any other car
allay the widespread, almost universe
8 distrust with which, not the body OF
the American senate, but very strong
and important faction of that body, is
nnhlicls-re Regarded Neither Mr.. Till
man nor an angel from heaven, and
there are many and fundamental diff
ferances between the twain, can re-
store the Depews and Platts, the AL
respect and trust Of the American
people. And there are others quite as
much discredited if not so we'll known.
The United States senate as a whole
is suffering for the crimes of the few,
deservedly suffering because the many,
having the power of numerical superb
ority. have submitted to such leader
ship.
There is sufficient reason for the
: general distrust of which Mr. Tillman
complains. Tillman, the president says,
is an honest man. He knows as every
one else knows that certain leaders in
the senate are the plain agents Of
special interests. He knows that his
prominence as sponsor of rate regula-
ton was forced by Aldrich to discredit
and possibly defeat universally pop
ular demand by connecting republic
can measure, backed by ninetenths of
the republican voters with the dem
ocratic party and an unpopular and
blatant democratic senator.
It has come to this: No one ex-
poets righteous law to pass the SEN
ate without desperate fight when
that measure conflicts or interferes
with the monopolistic interests. Does
a bill threaten the special interest of
the sugar trust? 1t dies in commit
tee. The tobacco trust? Killed in COM
n1ittee Is there treaty for recip-
rocal trade with Cuba offered? The
sugar interests fought it thru two SEES
sions. Is it bill to regulate railroad
rates? 1t passes the house unanimous
-. 49, i,, ha a thu
fight of his life to keep Aldrich and the
railroad contingent from strangling it
in committee. The protests of ten
million voters have no effect. Is it
q measure to denaturize alcohol and
offer an inexhaustible supply of cheap
material for light and fuel and power,
alcohol producing farm products? The
welfare and wishes of the millions are
opposed because free alcohol would
supply competition against the Stand
ard Oil and wood alcohol monopolies
Aldrich opposes this bill as he does
the rate bill. He and his represent
not the interests of the many but the
profits of the few 1t is impossible to
dodge this conclusion. 1t is not to be
otherwise explained. Aldrich and Ell
kins are dominant senators. Their
leadership is the domination of the
they represent.
Distrust? Yes not only distrust but
