ana OUner trusts DO not line well
with theory; the practice is to
reveal to the public only such
transactions as each individual
trust deem expedient to itself.
Our President may be able to
lay bare some of the secret sins
of the Standard Oil crowd and of
the Hartman gang of law break
ers, but if the President believes
he can break either the Standard
or Hartman combination he will
in all probability find in the end
that he has been just as unwise
il the premises as the tobacco
farmers and English workmen,
mentioned above, were foolish.
The President will in all prob
ability find himself unable to get
these law breakers before any
u. S. court, and find a jury which
will impose a prison sentence,
and in the case of Standard Oil,
the price would advance to meet
the cost, and in the Hartman
case rates would be raised a lit
tie, all of which the people
would pay as an admission fee
for seeing the show.
Among certain persons it is
believed that these combinations
are too powerful for Theodore,
and these certain persons believe
that Theodore begins to think so
himself; believe that he has lost
cast with the railroads and is
trying to do something to re-
instdte himself in their good
graces. The reason for this be-
lief is found in the Presidents s
message delivered to a delega-
tion of Oklahoma citizens who
recently went down to Washing
ton and was introduced to the
President. And it appears a
committee of the Constitutional
Convention of Oklahoma had
favorably reported a clause pro
hibiting railroad companies from
employing an armed force in
time of strike. The Constitu
tion as whole had not at this
time been acted upon. The mes
sage referred to is as follows
L never have posed as a par
ticular friend of the railroads
but 1 wish you would convey {
message to the trainers of your
Constitution. Tell them that il
they do not take out that clause
which prevents the railroad:
within the borders of the Stat,
from protecting themselves,
will do my best to secure the re
lection of the instrument. YoI
may take that home with you a:
a personal and official message.

EDITOR MESSENGER
DEAR FRIEND:-Plesse correct your
statement in the MESSENGER of Feb. IL
in regard to Water Commissioner
Frank Ribblett, that he has drawn a
good salary from Custer county for the
last fou= years. In the last two years
he has not. The last Board did the
same thing with Frank Ribblett. near
ly two years ago, as the Lemhi Board
did last month. But you did not give
us a good word for doing so at the
time like you do the Lemhi Board If
you will look up the reeoId you will
find that the bill of $50 the present
Board allowed is the same bill that
was disallowed by us long ago. Last
October Mr.. Ribblett put in bill of
$50 for corresponding with water mas
ter and water users We thought that
was a small graft, and it would cover
all the bills that were disallowed, so
we paid 1t. Remember it was only $50.
Ii the present Board has been caught
with some of the grafters, my opinion
is they will come to know them by
next session and will cut them off. Let
as do all we can to help them. The
last session was their first meeting.
JOHN STEPHENS.
We are always glad to make cor
rections when ia error. We have the
files of this paper before us of the Off
cial proceedings of the Board for two
years, at which time Mr.. Stephens was
diligent and faithful member of said
Board, and we find only one session
Jan. sth, 1906-that the bill of Frank
Ribblett was disallowed. This time it
was for $50 and was disallowed for the
reason that it was not properly item
lied. But at the sessions of that Board
| for Jan. 9Th, 1905, April 10th, 1905, Oct.
9Th, 1905 and April 9TH, 1906, there is
nothing of record of bills presented by
Mr.. Ribblett, at least the Board took
no action. Had he presented bills for
these four sessions above mentioned
the minutes ought to show that the
bills were either allowed or disallowed
and the conclusion is that Mr.. Rib
blett presented no bills during these
four sessions. Mr.. Stephens is evident
ly mistaken, and we are not altogeth-
er out Uf the way. The record shows
the following bills paid to said Frank
Ribblett

The Fool in the Auto.

Individuals whose circumstances are
not such al, will allow them to own or
even hire automobiles and who conse-
quently are obliged to get what recrea-
ton they can from riding behind the
plodding horse and catching glimpses of
the landscape through riffs in the clouds
of dust made by the honking motor ve-
hicles are, of course persons of little i'm
portance, in these days of rapid transit.
And yet they may be pardoned for think
ing they have some rights on the high
ways. Horses were created before mo-
torcars, and the man who through force
of circumstances clings to the ancient
method of travel is not yet reduced to
the status of an obstacle that can be
ordered at will from the path of the
new-fangled conveyance-at least not in
Vermont Brattleboro Reformer.
