THE SECOND TRUST CONFER
ENCE.

If the speeches at the Civic Fed
Grafton S two trust conferences may
be taken as rejecting public thought
upon the subject, about all that the
people have discovered concerning
the trust in the last seven or eight
years is that it has come to stay
And that discovery, we think, is a
highly important and valuable one.
At the conference Of nearly a
decade ago, following the big indus
trial promotions, the debate was
largely between those who wanted
the consultations dissolved by law
and those who thought they should
be permitted to exist-at least dur
ing reasonably good behavior. But
at this last conference trust-busting
was evidently little in favor, and
the speeches that carried most
weight practically all began with
the premise that the big unit Is "a
permanent fact. While opinion
was omewhat vague as to what we
can do with the trust, it was toler-
ably clear upon the proposition that
one thing we can't do with it is to
destroy it.
This strikes us as hopeful. II
the point has been as firmly estab-
lished as the speeches might be tax
en- to indicate, to have got that far
with the problem, in seven years is
really encouraging. When the
trust is recognized as a permanent
control staple article of consump-
tion-we shall say again that en-
fact we shall probably begin to find
out what to do with it. When the
antitrust. clause of the Sherman
act is repealed the way will be. OPEN
at least for useful legislation. Ii
the next seven years develop any
major leaning as to what that leg
islation should beAas to just how
the country may safely and profit
ably undertake the very intricate
problem of dealing with some in
stances of private monopoly which
couraging progress has been made.

ISSUE IN THE NEXT POLITl-
CAL CAMPAIGN.

Next summer will come another
political campaign. A new leglsla'
ture and State officers are to be
elected. By common courtesy the
Governor is always reelected SC
that his term is in fact four years
snstead of two Governor Camp
hell will be reelected without OPP
position, unless
And this brings up the question
of the real issue before the people
of Texas next summer. The hos
tility of Senator Bailey to Attor-
ney General Davidson IS well
known. Mr.. Davidson is part OF
the present administration. His
acts meet the approval of Govern
or Campbell, who has repeatedly
commended the work Of the de
partment in its fight against the
Standard Oil Company, Waters
Pierce Oil Company and other
trusts, The Governor also says
emphatically that all the resources
at his command will be used to vim
dictate the laws Of the State.
Then how soon will it resolve
itself into a fight between the
present administration and Senator
Bailey and his supporters. There
is no doubt Of the attitude Of the
administration on the matters that
have come up and are still pending.
That Governor Campbell is an hon
est man, and a courageous man for
what he believes to be right and for
the common good, no man doubts.
That the things which he stands
for are Numerically opposed to
the things that Waters-Pierce and
its friends stand for is equally well
known. 1t remains for Senator
Bailey to declare himself for or
against these things. On this mat
ter he has been silent. 1t remains,
then, for Governor Campbell to de-
clare himself in regard to support
ing Bailey men when the question
comes of electing a legislature
which will undoubtedly find its
most interesting topic in the action
of the junior Senator.
Campbell will be reelected, then,
unless by opposition to Bailey
the latter can so command the De
mocracy of Texas that they will do
his will and repudiate the admin
istration that has really accomplish
cd something in breaking up the
dominant trusts in Teras.

LABOR WOULD AFFILIATE
WITH FARMERS.

-
Norfolk, Va. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor today rejected an
amendment to its laws providing
that in the future no arbitration
upon a jurisdicional dispute be-
tween two or more international
unions shall be considered by the
Federation or by the executive
council between sessions, unless all
parties interested, by convention or
referendum or in some other prop
er way agree before the question
is taken up to be bound by the de-
cision given,
The treasurer was directed to de-
post on interest bearing certificates

poinment of two special commit
tees to confer with the farmers of

the farmers fully cooperate with
the trades union by refusing to

AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT
REPCBLICAN NATIONAL
CAMPAIGN FUND.

Interesting facts came to light
Yesterday regarding the much,dis-
cussed Republican campaign fund in
the last national election.
It appears that Chairman Cortel-
YOU and Treasurer Bliss, of the Re-
publican National Committee, were
notified at the beginning of the
campaign that they ould draw on
j. P. Morgan & CO. for $25O.OOO, and
that George w. Perkins and other
members Of that firm would under
take to raise the money. That sum
was raised from various sources
and of this quota $4,000 was OBJ
tanned from the New York Life in
surancc Company.
1t is said by friends Of Mr.. Cor
teIyou, now Secretary of the Treas
ury. and Cornelius n. Bliss that the
facts as to the origin of subscriptions
were not known to them until long
after the election OF Mr.. Roosevelt
to the Presidency.

MODERN BARBARISM

In the middle ages there was what
as called trial by ordeal" An
accused man was invited to plunge
mis- arm into boiling water or to
walk blindfolded over red hot plow-
shares, and unless he could do one
or the other without harm he was
hanged. In New York another kind
of ordeal has been invented. A man
who was accused OF numbering a
woman was taken to where her de-
caying corpse was and compelled TO
PINT his hand on her forehead and
answer whether he killed her. It is
said that he swooned which was not
remarkable, and that when he came
to he confessed that another man
did it. The twentieth century is
not so much ahead of the dark ages
after all-Chicago Chronicle.

OFFICERS LOOKING
 FOR ". R. MIREE
AFTER SECURING ALL THE CASH HE COULD GET HOLD OF HE LEAVES COUNTRY WITH HIS ADOPTED DAUGHTER.

Selma. December 1s.-(speclaL)-The au- thorties at the request of a number of business houses and individuals are trying to locate w. R. Miree, a well known cit- izen, who has been engaged in the farm ing and mercantile business at Burnsvillc and who has been running public gin at that place. Last Saturday Mir Miree came to Selma and secured all the ready cash he could get hold of. He also bor- rowed different sums from relatives and friends He returned to Evansville, and since Tuesday night he has not been seen. His adopted daughter, about IS years of age, is also missing, and it is known that they left together.
 Mree is said to be indebted to a num- Der of merchants, and it is alleged that he has disposed of mortgaged property. Telegrams were sent out last night trying to locate him, but up to this time he has not been heard from. He is said to have told some friends that he was going to Panama and begin life anew.
 Mree about a year ago was brought be- fore Judge Miller of the circuit court on the charge of contempt. A negro witness who had testified against him was way laid by him and beaten. and Judge Miller, hearing of it, had the man brought before him and sent him to jail for few hours besides nflicting fine punishment The affair has created considerable of a sensation as Miree is married and is well connected. Mrs. Miree was in the city Wednesday seeking information of the whereabouts of her husband.

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word dys- pepsia means literally bad cook 1t will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook if they begin the Christmas dinner with little appetite and end 1t with distress or nausea. It may not be fair for any to do that--let us hope so for the sake of the cook The disease dyspepsia indicates bad stomach, that is a weak stomach, rather than bad cook, and for weak stomach there is nothing else equal to Hoods Sarsaparila. It gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia, creates appetite, and makes eating the pleasure 1t should be.
