She Hrgus Daily Short Story
Pate and the Lemon Pie''-By Emile Lovett
LConxright NJ.

All his life long Dick Hadley had
looked forward to the time when, all
alone and unmoleSted, in luxurious
ease, with calm oblivion to the world
at large. he could sit with undisturbed
satisfaction and devour an entire lem
on pie
And now, at the age of twenty-four
athletically broad shpuldered and tall
with n face capable of inspiring botl
trust and respect, fact which meG
admired and women loved, he had
boarded the fast train at Washing

and his destination, Laurel, Nd. will

voted in the affirmative.
Thus, by the action of the senate
combine, the Economy Light & Power
company has been able to have from
May, 1907, until July, 1908, to COM
plete it's work, and as it is now work
ing a force of three shifts of about 100
men each day and night, it will likely
get through with it in due time.
It's vested rights, with its franchise,
will be easily worth $10,000,000, and
with the deep waterway from the lake
to the mouth of the Illinois, in opera
ton. this dam would have to be torn
lout, and the state would have to buy
the plant.
The main valhe-will be in the water
power which will be generated by the
17-foot fall, and which will be trans
mitted to Chicago and other cities at
will.
With this fact in mind, the PROPOSE
ton TO submit to the voters of the state
the plan to bond the state for $20,000,-
600 to build the deep waterway will
never carry, as half of the amount
would have to be paid over to this
corporation for its franchise and other
rights.
In the ordinance of 1888, which doc
ument gave the northwest territory to
the United States, Virginia, making the
concession, it was provided that all
G. int hn
sippi and the st. Lawrence should al
ways remain unObstructed to naviga-
ton, and it is said that this will be
the strong lever on which the courts
will find the power company's dam an
Illegal obstruction.
Should it be impossible for the state
to dislodge the power company, it is
suggested that the water from the Chi
cago sanitary canal be diverted from
where the big ditch enters Joliet, con
Quoted across to the Illinois and Midi
/ igan canal. and this ditch then be
widened and deepened till the Illinois
river is reached, thus Obviating the
, necessity of crossing the dam at Ores
den Heights, which spans the Des-
PLANES. But it is bad state of affairs
when Illinois and the deep water plan
can and will be blocked by a corpora
ton, which has such men as Berry
Gardner and others as hackers.
! While Berry voted for the bill with
the emergency clause, it is said that
he simply paired with another senator
who is not a grandstander, nor poser
| but who votes as he is directed.

The Senate Graft Bill.

The committee which the lower
house has appointed to investigate
the conditions in relation to the leases
made by the commissioners of the Hi
nOis and Michigan canal to favored
corporations has been in session a
week at the Great Northern. Chicago.
The committee visited the site of
the dam which is being built athwart
the Desplaines river, at it's juncture
with the Kankakee near where the
two unite to form the Illinois, and
find that this company has been leased
the 80 feet of abutting ground on the
east side of the canal, and that it has
purchased from private parties the
land Immediately east of this land
which is owned by the state, and which
makes a natural basin or reservoir
with low range of bluffs on the eX
tremo east side.
The dam will be II feet high, and
when completed will develop horse
power of an almost untold magnitude
which will yield to the Economy Light
& Power company an almost fabulous
sum in the 20 years of the lease which
is granted for the nominal sum Of
81 900 per annum.
The Allen-LentZ bill, which declared
the Desplaines navigable stream
was passed unanimously by the house
and was designed to stop the work o
this company, which has been pushed

adjournment of the legislature las

Republican Responsibility.

There are those who wish to place
at the door of President Roosevelt, in

attitude toward the trusts" has caus-
ed the trouble.
Such conclusions are not only unfair
to Roosevelt, but are silly and lack
foundation in fact. Mr.. Roosevelt has
made some fuss about corporations
but he Is not setting any prairie grass

done little more than make threats, anC

thrive upon them. Roosevelt has done

rests the responsibility. The Chicago
Public succinctly puts it thus:
while, however, the republicans
are not responsible for the present de-
preston as a matter of administration,
they are responsible for it to the ex-
tent that they have stood for the pro-
lection policy, and they will continue
TO be responsible for the depressions
that succeed this one so long as they
are responsible for that policy. Pro-
lection restricts trade. and slack trade
is nothing but trade restricted. A lit
tie trade restriction may makeSpros-
perity for some but only at the ex-
pense of some adversely for others; a
good deal of trade restriction may
make a good deal of prosperity for
some, but at the expense of a good
deal of adversely for others; the eX-
tremes of trade restriction make trade
stagnation, with prosperity only for a
very few, and adversely for nearly all
the rest. Protection is legal privilege,
and legal privilege leads to industrial
disaster, no matter what party is in
power"
AS a matter of administration, the
Rooseveltian administration is not re-
sponsible for the present depression.
Analyze the present monopoly-pro-
lection policy and you'll find the prime
cause of the trouble. OF course, some
allowance must be made for stock jug
