Jerome Takes Personal Charge.


District Attorney Jerome. who ar

woods after a short vacation. has taken
personal charge Of the case.
He has indicated that he Will push the
murder charge against Thaw relentlessly
and will fight the contention OF the law
yers that the young man was suffering
from temporary mania when he com
mitted the crime. To combat this de-
fense he today began accommodating all
evidence possible to show that Thaw
had for a long time kept White under
a strict espionage through detectives.
District Attorney jerome says that to
keep a man under such surveillance is
nothing less than persecution.

New Zealand's plan of dealing with
trusts has more weight than the publicity
bluff put up by the United States. which
seldom amounts to anything worse than
an investigation" when things go on as
before.
A milling trust was formed in New
Zealand several years ago. with the re-
suit that the heads of the -four combine
were promptly notified by the govern
ment of that little country that unless
the prices came down law would be en-
acted removing the duty on flour. Tn
price came down and there is no milling
trust in New Zealand today.
Sir Joseph George Ward. New Zea-
lands new Premier. who is on visit to
the United States, when asked what his
country would do if an ice trust put the
price of ice beyond all reason, as it has
in this country, said his government
would build ice factories and enter into
competition with the trust. selling the
product at fair profit. That's the only
method known in New Zealand to Sc
cure absolute fairness in the distribution
of public necessities, and it beats pub
licity' and the regulation of prices by
legislative enactment all to pieces.

With the admission of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory to joint statehood the
last of the Louisiana Purchase has been
incorporated into the union of States.
Thirteen other States, the number of the
original union, have been created wholly
or in part from the Louisiana Purchase
tract. Oklahoma early in its history
gave careful attention to its educational
system, setting aside two sections of land
in every township for public school pur-
poses, founding an agricultural college,
and later normal school.

Calamity HoWIers.

Only few years ago men who com.
planned of the tendency in this country
towards corporation domination and in
justice generally to the masses, were de-
nounced as calamity howlers." But
all the complaints made by democrats,
populists or independent in 1896 would
not compare with the complaints now
registered by men of all political parties
against the grave conditions with which
the people are confronted, conditions
everywhere recognized as a menace 10
popular government.
From every source where the American
system is respected. comes words OF
warning to the American people that
they must arouse themselves if they
would not lose all that is worth having
in republic. 1t is noticeable, too, that
some of the strongest notes of warning
are sounded in this day by men who only
a few years ago we're denouncing as
calamity howlers" those men who fore
saw conditions with which America is
now face to face.-The Commoner.

A practical demonstration of the bene-
fit OF a government owned railway is had
in the operation of the Panama railroad.
Chairman Shonts of the Panama canal
commission is authority for the statement
that since the government has acquired
control of the road the rates have been
reduced one-half, the policy of the road
being to make its freight charge only
high enough to cover operating expenses,
to meet fixed charges and to allow a
reasonable profit.

The report of the United States geo.

following in regard to the coal out-put :
"E. W. Parker, statistician of the United
States geological survey, has recently
made three weeks tour of the coal.pro-
ducing states of the Middle West, to
secure data on the production of coal in
1905. 1t is probable that the return will
show an unusual output of coal during
the last calendar year, as most of the
operators worked their mines to their ut
most capacity in anticipation of coming
strike"

to cover up the graft blotch, which has SO

They are also instructed to divest them

very determined effort has been
made, chiefly under the patronage Of
Representative w. R. Hearst, to organize
third party move ment, with the labor
organizations, the referendum advocates,
the Socialists and the unattached extrem-
lists of all man ner of convictions as a
basis, the idea being to establish balance
of power between the two great parties in
the next Congress, if possible, and to in
fuence the election of the next Speaker,
if not actually to name him from their
own membership.
The effect of the agitation is felt in the
premature development of the President
ial campaign. The Endorsements of Mr..
Bryan and the purpose to make his NOM
nation assured long in advance of the
national convention comes as guarantee
from the Democrats that Criminal cor
porations" are not to control the Demo
cratic party, and Mr.. Hearst's unexpected
declaration that he does not intend to be
candidate in 1908 is recognition of this
situation.
Running along with this Democratic
move comes a revival of the talk of
Roosevelt for the Republicans, in spite of
himself and in spite of the disfavor in
which he is held in his own party. The
repeated announcements that he will not
accept the nomination do not silence this
talk, though, strangely enough, it is not
uncommon for Republicans to add that,
being nominated he will be badly beaten
by Bryan.

Speaker Cannon is going to take an
active part in the fight for the Sixtieth
Congress, and he has been fairly deluged
with invitations to speak all over the
Union.
The Speaker believes he should lead the
fight because it is his Congress which is
on trial. Two years ago the presidency
was the main thing and Congress minor
issue. This year the national campaign
is to be for Congress, and both parties be-
lieve that in this campaign as never be-
fore the record of Congress is going to be
the issue.

Ac- cordins to. the policy of Speaker Can nun op the statehood bill the election 0i .ariff revisionists by the people , would not bring the desired result. When the statehood bill came up for disposition in the House the speaker declared that it was a party measure, notwithstanding the fact that no party convention had ever declared in its favor, and then proceeded to whip the republicans into line for its. sup, pert. It is a well known fact that q majority of the present House are in favor Of concurring in the statehood bill as amended in the Senate, still under the arbitrary rules of Speaker Cannon there has been no concur renee and is not likely to be.

Surveying the whole field of repub. lican possibilities, and there is not a well known or familiar name in sight that would at all meet the require, ments of the republican situation save possibly one. That one is Attor. ney General Hadley of Missouri. His personality is unknown. People are not yet familiar with him, and there may be reasons why he should not be pushed into the doubtful honor of . republican presidential nomination. At the same time, he is in the public eye as a possibility-the only one in sight.
 The democratic party is. after all, in far better condition than the re- publican party. We have at least one candidate who stands out prominently and with whom the people are fan fl. far.

 The above is a mention of the more important buildings and enterprises which are assured for Douglas this year. Certainly this should be a suf- ficient guarantee of the prosperity of the city for the present, at least.
 The estimate of s100,0O0 for build ings not specifically mentioned above would only cover those already under way or contracted for. While the growth of Douglas has been marvel ous since the townsite was surveyed. five years ago, it is the prevailing opin- ion now that during the next five years the growth of this city will be equal if not greater than during the period of its existence.

of the late Charles McIver, perhaps the

by r. 3. Womack and G. NJ. Keys. who
tell of the failure of state ownership in
North Carolina, Missouri and Pennsyl-
vanla. DR.. Julian Thomas, the daring
balloonist, tells vividly of "An Aero

Meikeljohn, with the aid of a group Of
unusual pictures, shows "The Conquest

notably clever and amusing are, Ro-

Ing the seed comes in after the grown
cucumbers have turned yellow. They
are left in the field, and then pulled
from the vine by boys and girls, who
go into the field with a sort of spoon
shaped trowel and cut open the cucum-
bers and scoop out the seeds into
sacks.
The sacks are dragged until they are
too heavy, then tied securely. The seed
Is hauled to the house and poured into
large tanks filled with soap and soft
water. This mixture cuts the slimy
substance from the Seed leaving them
pure and white. The seeds are dricd
IN kilns in shallow baskets and then
sorted and packed. The placing i'm
the small paper packages is done in the
wholesale and retail establishments.
The farmers who have been doing
this exclusive class of farming say II IS
profitable, and they have become ex-
pert in the growing of this particular
seed.
