From McCures for September,
In SanFrancisco, Ruef, Schmltz and
their allies took toll everywhere, from
everybody and in almost every imagin-
able way. They went into partnership
with dishonest contractors; sold permits
and privileges to business men; extort-
ed money from restaurants and saloons;
levied assessments on municipal en-
ployes; shared the profits of houses OF
prostitution forced beer, whiskey,
champagne and cigars into restaurants;
black mailed gamblers, booksellers and
promoters of prize fights; sold fran
cnises to wealthy corporations; created
such municipal bureaus as the commits
sary department and the City CONNER
cial Company in order to make robbery
of the city more easy; leased rooms and
buildings for municipal Offices at ex-
orbitant rates and compelled the les
sors to share profits; held up milk-men,
kite-advertisers, junk-dealers and even
street sweepers; and took brides from
everybody who wanted an illegal privi-
lege or exemption and who was willing
TO pay for it. The motto of the admins
tration seemed to be- Encourage dis
honesty, and then let no dishonest dol
lar escape.

The Presidents fairness.

Although some of President Roose-
velt's critics have endeavored to create
the impression that he is endangering the
present prosperity of the country by
''going after" the law breaking trusts
and corporations, the people in general
have implicit confidence in his wisdom,
discernment and honest intentions to do
no more than is absolutely right in cor
recting existing abuses and safeguard
ing the best interests of the people and
the nation, and also in his honest i'm
partially and fairness to all. The presi-
dent himself has given repeated assur-
ances Of such intentions, and his whole
career and record justify the impression
that he can be depended on to keep his
word. In his latest public address he
again repeats his policy of fairness, and
it is worth while to carefully study his
words. He says:
81 desire no less emphatcaliy to have
it understood that we have undertaken
and viii undertake no action of vim
dictiVe type, and, above all, no action
which shall inflict great or unmerited
suffering upon the innocent stockholders
and upon the public as a whole. Our
purpose is to act with the minimum of
harshness compatible with obtaining our
| ends.

western, an active opponent of Sena-
tor LaFollette, yet there is not a word
uttered in this praise of Roosevelt but
what would fit the Senator's case to a

across the Mediterranean unattended

High Prices of food,

BY Ex-Goy. Hoard.
The Milwaukee Free Press publishes
the following list of foods and their
present market price in that city:
Potatoes, 81 per bushel.
Fresh eggs, 30 cents per dozen.
Creamery butter, SOC per pound.
Milk, &c per quart,
Corn meal, 3 cents per pound.
Honey, 25c per pound.
Wheat -four, So per hundred
Pork chops, 16c per pound.
Steak, choice cuts, 35c per pound.
Steak, round, lSc per pound
Bacon, pc per pound.
Cucumbers, loo each.
Green corn, l5c per dozen.
A survey Of the list sets us to think
ing as to a choice of these articles that
shall bring US the largest amount of
nutriment for the least money. OF all
the articles named milk is the cheapest.
for quart of good milk contains by
actual analysis as much nutriment as a
pound of the best steak From the list
we would select the following as afford
ing the highest economy in price and
the best support Of the body: Milk,
eggs. flour, corn meal, butter, bacon.
A quart of milk. 8 eggs, pound of
corn meal, pound of flour and 3 +, cents
worth of bacon, the whole costing Is
cents, would make more than an ample
ration for the day for a working man,
if he only thought SO.

war, with the addition Of an ounce of

CUNNING OF MUSKRATS.
Foresight With Which These Animals
Build Winter Homes.

Build Winter Homes.
In the month of March, before the
rivers have opened, on the snow around
the heads of the creeks and about the
airholes In the thick ice may be seen
the curious trail of the muskrat. 1t
can readily be recognized by the firmly
planted footmarks, heavily and slowly
impressed, and the sharp after drag Of
the long, scaly, bladclke tail All
through the cold winter months these
heavily furred animals have lived
warm and comfortable In their well
constructed houses, rearing their third
and last litter. One house erected
about September seemed planned with
almost human foresight Here. with
their long sharp teeth and strong, inch
long claws. they had cut and cleared
wide paths through all the marshes
paths so deer. that three feet of ice did
not close them. SO wide that we have
often padded along them, marveling
ut the great floating masses of torn up
aquatic vegetation, These paths were
hundred yards long and four feet
wide and were cut through mass of
tangled cover high enough In most
places to thoroughly conceal duck
hunter and his canoe. In the winter
months the muskrats can easily dive
from their houses into these under ice
channels, and the whole marsh is be-
fore them to choose their meal from

THE American farmers earnings are
81 900, 900, 900 greater this year than
last, according to preliminary report
on crops which will be published in the
next issue of the American Agricultur-
aist. This big gain will be entirely due
to the increased prices of farm pro-
ducts, as the production in general will
be fully 10 per cent less in quantity
than in 1906, which was the bumper
year.

CHAPTER 500 of the laws of 1907 will
be of interest to many land owners, if
they have not read it. Owners of land
in the state of Wisconsin now have in
ducements to plant portion of their
holdings to forest trees In considera-
ton of the public benefit to be derived
from the planting and cultivation of
timber or forest trees, this law was re-
Gently enacted and permits the owner
of any tract of land in the state to set
apart portion, not exceeding forty
acres, for forest culture, and to be OK
einpted from taxation on that portion
of land for a period of thirty years
from the time of planting. This privll-
ege extends to corporations and co-part-
nerships as well as to individuals.

recent sharp and heavy advance IN
meats in the East was explained by the
packers as a result Of the condemna-
ton of mary animals and the distribu-
ton of the loss upon the salable pro-
duct. They declared that if they had to
pay for the condemned meat they would
be compelled to recoup by asking high
er prices for the remaining good meat.
This is equivalent to saying that the
consumer will have to pay for the con
demned meat in any event.
