BUSTING TRUSTS.

The New Bedford Standard wants to know .Just what Is going to happen when all the trusts are busted It would be about as sensible to ask what is going to happen when the millennium comes. We have heard much and read more bloviatfon of late about putting the trusts out of business and all of it is the brodest kind of farce, so far as results are concerned. It is fad. per- haps, to speak of any and all corpora. tions as trusts and to call on the gov ernment to suppress them, but so far as results are concerned it is the idlest kind of talk. The administration makes frequent promises and pretences of what 1t is going to do. but we should like to see list of those it has busted.
 In the first place we are far from be- Iieving that the administration and the Republican party want to put the op- pressive trusts out of business. These same agencies are too handy and lib- eral when campaign contributions are needed to help along the fight. and but for the large sums they pour into the Republican contribution box that party would probably not now be In control of the government. To roar loudly in denunciation of the trusts while hold ing out hand to receive their dona- tions is about the program of the Re- publican organization.
 In the second place how is the great work to be accomplished? Who is to draw the line between a really evil trust and a legitimate business enter priseg Every corporation of men or ganized to carry on any business, is 6 trust in one sense of the word. That there are greedy, grasping and merci- less trusts which deserve no mercy is true enough. They are born of the Re- publican tarifr and are nursed and sus- tained by it, and If that party will re- wise the tariff it will make 6 beginning towards accomplishing it's boasted pur- pose of suppressing the trusts. but that is what the party will not do. It pre- fers to continually preach a doctrine which it has no intention of practic- ing. If it really had the power to dis tinguish between legitimate corpora tions and what are really hurtfuI and malignant trusts 1t would make little difference. In short, trust busting sounds we'll to the powers that be. and sound is about all there is to it. There is nothing doing.

The New York Sun Is troubled by the :fear that the Presidents hunting trip in the wilds of Louisiana will not be as strenuous and interesting as he inn agines. It intimates that bears, pan thsrs, cougars. dinosaurs and other fierce mammals are not as plentiful down there as some have been claim ing Let not The Sun be Respondent. If the President doesn't make big bags of ferocious wild beasts the yellow re- porters will do the job for him. If he shoots a bob-cat they will tell how he stood up in the open and brought down panther, or bowled over bear. The accounts of "hairbreadth 'scapes by flood and field" will be good reading for lovers of Mayne Reid, Jules Verne and others Never fear that the Pres ident will not have good sport in the newspapers, at all events.

No Fee VIII Be Charged Surviving Con-
 federate veterans for Enreu-
 ment Under Census Law. Editor The Advertiser:
 In your issue of today. In giving the news item concerning the proposed census of Confederate soldiers now re- siding in the State of Alabama, the statement is made that leach applicant must pay fee of 10 cents for the en- rollment of his name." hasten to say that this statement wirh reference to tho payment of a fee is incorrect. No fee whatever is required. The State Is anxious to secure a complete and accurate enrolment of every surviving Confederate soldier who now resides in Alabama, and all that they are ask ed to do is to cooperate with the Tax Assessor upon whom is placed the duty of making the enumeration. The as- sessors are allowed fee of 10 cents for each name enrolled, the amount to be paid from the State Treasury.
 The blanks, have all been forwarded to the severaI covnties, and already the work has sbegun. In this coLnec- tion beg to publicly express the hope that all veterans and members of their families lend cooperation, looking to the execution of the work In the very best possible manner.
 Respectfully.
 Montgomery, Ala. Oct. 2, 1907.

ELEANORA DUsE.

According to most authorities Elea-- nora Duse, the great tragic actress of Italy, was born october 3, 1859, on a railroad train between Padua and Venice, though regarding the exact date there has been some dispute. She comes of Q race of noted actors. one of her ancestors was n famous come dian, and her grandfather was the founder of the Theatre Garibaldi at Padna. Eleanora made her first bow to the public at the age of years, and has been on the stage ever since At the age of IS she played Fran cesca da Rimini.' and at IA, at Verona, that gave her the first breath of fame. It was not, however, until 1879 that she first created a name for herself in other lands than her own. Tn that wear she appeared in Paris and Lon don and was hailed by the critics as one of the greatest ,actEessss of the tours of America and has been received with much favor.

Tariff Reform,

Judging the future by the past, 1t Is
almost impossible to expect tariff re
form from the Republicans. The Roose-
welt wing of the party shows but little
more intention Of taking from the
trusts their foster mother than the
most ardent standpatter. II the evils
of protecting trusts with the tariff
are so great, why should the revision
of the tariff be again postponed for,
sat least, two years? Congress vii.

Der, and even in presidential year
there is no good reason why 1t cannot
spare the time until the conventions
meet in June or July, 1907, to pass a
bill that would give our people a share
of the bargain prices which the trusts
now confine to foreigners There is
but little legislation on other issues
that Is imperative, and the Ways and
Means Committee Will have compara-
lively nothing to do, unless they are
put to work at compiling a tariff bill
Under the rules of the House, which
the majority Is certain to adopt, the
Republicans can limit debate to suit
themselves. So the Democrats Will be
powerless to hinder quick action IL
they wanted to.

Some friends came in at tea-time,
and soon after tea they left. The fog,
they had told her, was growing denser
still. Later, as she sat alone In her
cosy boudoir, a strange feeling began
to steal over her. She felt uneasy in
her mind. An odd sensation of rest
lessness took hold of her. She had
never before been like this, she reflect
ed, and the thought was disconcerting.
Twice she rose from her armchair, and
walked swiftly across the room to peer
out into the darkness. The square WINS

her still, and her thoughts wandered
and were confused. Suddenly she
started, then sat up. Something seem

dry and sticky. Quickly her bosom
rose and fell. A livid palor spread over
her face, but she did not faint.

SUDDEN SHOWER.
Cincinnati Post.

Barefooted boys scud up the street,
Or skurry under sheltering sheds;
And schoolgirl faces, pale and sweet,
Clean from the; shawls about their
heads.
Doors bang and mother voices call
From alien homes; and rusty gates
Are slammed; and high above It all
The thunder grim reverberates.
And then abrupt, the rain, the rain!
The earth lies gasping, and the eyes
Behind the steaming window-panes
Smile at the trouble Of the skies.
The highway smokes, sharp echoes ring I;
The cattle bawl and cow-bells clank ;
And into town comes galloping
The farmers horse, with steaming
flank.
The swallow dips beneath the caves.
And dirts his plumes and folds his
wings;
And under the cataba leaves
The caterpillar curls and clings.
The humble bee is pelted down
The wet stem of the hollyhock;
And suddenly, in spattered brown,
The cricket leaps the garden walk.
Within the baby claps his hands
And crows with rapture strange and
vague;
Without, beneath the rose-bush stands
A dripping rooster on one leg.
