Whisky Seized By Uncle Sam. -

Three barrels of whisky were seized
in this city Tuesday by Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector Wyatt Insko and is
now being held for investigation. The
whisky was sold to L. Saloshin by the
wholesale whisky house of Heyn &
Son, of Cincinnati. When the whisky
arrived here one barrel appeared to
have been tempered with and Mr..
Saloshin called J. P. Hutchcraft, a
government gauger, and had 1t regaug-
ed the proof showing below the stan
dard. Mr.. SaIoshin then notified Heyn
q Son, who in turn notified the Col
lector's office at Lexington.
The matter was turned over to Mr..
Insko, who came to Paris Tuesday
and having the whisky tested and re-
gagged found it as above stated and
seized upon it as property Of the gov
eminent. No blame is attached to
either Mr.. Saioshin or the wholesale
firm of Heyn & Son. Only two Of the
three barrels were affected. See adj
vertisement in regard to it in another
column in this issue.

One of the astounding features of
our present industrial system is the
growth and persistency of vagrancy.
Recent statistics show that during the
years 1901-l905. there were %, 964 tres
passers killed by the railroads of this
country, and that %, 236 more were in
iured nearly all of them being tramps
The tramp question has become a
national problem. But how shall it be
death with? Tramps and trusts have
been bred in such numbers of late years
that they seem to have the same origin
and very much the same nature. They
reap where they have not sown, and
flourish in the same jungle created
by unjust legislation. To reform the
tariff would be in a large measure to
reform the trusts and the tramps.

The optimistic view of Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate Commence
Commission that an era of peace be-
tween the corporations and the people
is dawning is all nonsense. Mr.. Knapp
says the railroads are accepting the
situation and that, ''any further legis-
latiOn will have the approval of rail
road men as well as the public" If
Chairman Knapp really believes what
he says, he evidently does not under
stand the railroad tactics, which at
present are to lie low and take what
small knocks are coming to them from
the Commission by virtue of the very
imperfect law passed by the last Con-
gress. The coming Congress is not ex-
pecting to add any drastic legislation,
for President Roosevelt mas decided to
rest upon the laurels, except to try 20
take from the states their present
power to control common carriers with
in their borders and so make the
general government supreme, and in
that the railroads agree with him, but
the majority of the people never should
acquiesce for they would lose the only
power they possess of real railroad con-
troll.

Congressman Hull, Of Iowa, was in
the city last week and at once proceed
ed to give out an interview in which he
said that eff President Roosevelt
should be nominated next year he
would get about 30 per cent. of the
Democratic vote in the Northern
States. Such an absurd statement is
Of course untrue, and if the feeling Of
those VINO visit Washington is any
criterion Of the trend of Democrats for
or against the President in the North
ern States, he would not get one per
cent. Of their votes. At present every
Democrat | meet, and they come here
from all over the country, is anxious
to know who the Democrats should
nominate to beat Mr.. Roosevelt. Some
think MIR. Bryan can defeat him on ac-
count of the number of Republicans
secretly opposed to the President, but
by far the greater number declare they
want candidate upon whom the whole
party can unite The great fear seems
to be that If Mr.. Bryan is renominated
for the third time, he cannot come any
nearer being elected than in 1896 or
1900, and some go so far as to say that
many voters, who are ardent friends of
Mr.. Bryan. believe he is one of those
leaders like Calhoun, Clay and Blaine
who are unable to reach their ambition
of being president of the United
States.

Our Special From Washington.
[ Special Correspondence.l


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 3, 1907
Good old farmer Wilson, who by the
grace Of Mckinley and Roosevelt has
run sne Agricultural Department for
the last ten years, and as some claim.
run 1t into the ground. has become a
laughing stock in Washington and
Kansas. 1t appears that when the
green bug YVES devastating the Kansas
wheat fields farmer Wilson, out
of the goodness Of his heart decided
to give the Kansas farmers some ad-
vice how to beat the bugs in the
future. Plant turkey red wheat.
said farmer Wilson, for in 1907, | made
experiments and found that turkey
red spread out and withstands the
raVages of bugs better than any other
variety. But the Millers and Wheat
growers all over Kansas began to poke
fun at farmer Wilson for making ex-
perlments in 1897, with turkey red
wheat, as for ten years previously
Kansas farmers had grown that
variety almost exclusively.
This shows how behind the times
the Agricultural Department is I'm
many things and how much it REQUIRES
reforming. Its statistics are rotten
and have been the sport of grafters ::
many OF its so-called scientists are far
behind the times as the turkey red
wheat episode indicates; the scientists
OF the Weather Bureau, which is part
Of the Agricultural Department, are
still working on the erroneous plan
and theory of the Winds and weather
adopted sc years ago and the weather
forecasts are spoken of as not as re-
liable as Hicks predictions published
month ahead. The Department of
Agricultural, as well as other depart
ments of the government, is suffering
from dry rot grating brought about
by so many years of control by Repub-
llcans, who that party cannot, if it
would, get rid of from the party neces-
slty OF providing for its camp follow
ers, who if not furnished with what
they have, or something equally as
good, would turn and rend it. 1t is not
the clerks who are to blame, though
some of them are worthless, but the
Republican politicians who are in
charge Of them. If the voters knew
one half of the partisan and grating
conditions in most of the departments
they would join in the cry of turn the
rascals out.

STANDARD OIL TRUTHS.

The report OF the interstate conner
CO commission, covering the business
operations and methods OF the Stand
ard OH company, Is an Official coDfir-
nation of the gravest OF the charges
made against the company In recent
years.by the unofficial investigators.
Matters OF detail remain to be PROV
ed but to all intents and purposes
the case Is made.
Notwithstanding the commission
ers' modest disclaimer, their inquiry
seems to have been more thorough
than was that made short time ago

field. Between the two, the indict.
ment OF this great interest" before
the bar of public opinion Is complete.
Practically every material point In
the Standards published defense Of
It's methods is fatty controverted by
the government inquiry. The com
missioners declare the Standard OIL
company to be, In effect and In fact,
the greatest Of all industrial monopo-
lies, whose control OF many indust-
lies. and particularly Of the oil trade,
has been acquired by means utterly
constituencies,
Especially notable Is the commits
sion's complete destruction OF the
Stan 1ard's favorite plea OF defense
that It's control OF the markets Is
chiefly due to It's economical" con-
duct of business, enabling II to un'
dersell competitors. The commits
sion's evidence shows that the Stand
ard has acquired Its control through
compulsory eAaction Of railroad re-
bates, by bribery Of inspectors anc
other public officials, by perjury ane
fraud OF many sorts-by method:
which aiefrankly characterized as "in
decent, "disreputable" and ''cor
rupt. The Standards plan OF oper
ations has been that Of the deliberate
criminal; hon EST economy and bus
iness thrift have had no considerably
part In it, compared with this out
lawery.
The facts In the case are known
oleraly enough 10 the pulic. Appar
antly the Standard does not Intent
trying To defend itself In an opel
light on the facts In all preliminar
skirmishes, In cases where indict
meuts have been returned, the com
pany's defense has been based upo

considering the present state OF tn

tlonal.
II Is an elementary proposition In
business that an enterprise that can.
not stand on Its own bottom Is not
worth promoting. Idaho has had
some experience In granting bounty
to a-priyate enterprise, when 1t un-
dertook to provide bounty for sugar
beets. This case Is not yet settled,
and the time.may come when the tax
payers may have to dig up two or
there hundred thousand dollars to put
Into the Golfers of the sugar trust, as
represented by the Salt Lake heirar-
cny. 1t Is still hanging tie because
the interests IL will benefit are walt
Ing TO get a Supreme court OF such
a nature that the law will not be I'M
constitutional. The arguments urged
by President Roosevelt for ship
subsidy are practically the same AS
presented by the paid hiIelings OF the
sugar trust In this state. The con-
tention that all the polple should be
mulcted to make make profits for the
ship owners because iii will promote
trade 10 American products" will not
bear close examination. In the first
place we are not a~are that trade In
American products is languishing.
Rather we have been led TO believe
that our foreign commerce Is enjoy
Ing unprecedented prosperity and Is
making phenomenal inroads on the
markets OF all the world. The com
plant, indeed, Is common, that sc
great is the demand, both domestic
aud foreign, for our wares, that labor
cannot be found TO meet the emer
gency.
by an analogous line Of reasoning
the people should be taxed to provide
bonnties for the statesmen OF the stee
trust aud the Standard OH compan,
who are making markets for Ameri
can steel and oil In foreign countries
Yet even Mr.. Roosevelt would hardl,
have the temerity to make tiiat suR
gestlon.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY.

The fact that President Roosevelt
comes out and recommends a ship
subsidy does bot remove the odium
from the measure. From his stand
point Of viewing things no doubt he
is honest 10 believing that paying a
bounty to the shipping trade Is the
best thing for the country. The
principle is wrong. whether IL is the

policy. Many OF the states have tried

and the regular freight rates.. The
railroad men make no bones about
saving the government will get no
more cheap rates. These corpora
lions are simply driving nail into
their own coffin. They will carry
matters with such high hand that
the country will become so incensed
that the demand will grow for a
more stringent national supervision,
If not national ownership.

The trouble with some Of these cor.
porations seems to be that they have
mad their own way so long without
government interference that 1t Is
equal to les majestic to attempt to
criticise their methods, much less
dictate. The railway magnates have
been permitted to form consolida-
tions of trunk lines OF railways, and
thus cut out con petit ton; they have
been permitted to water their stock.
and charge the people freight rates
sufficient to pay dividends on this
stock of ficticiou value until they
think that they own the country and
the government is imposing upon their
right SO demand that they shall no
longer rob the country. It Is trite
saving that the pendulum Can never
swing so far that 1t will not swing
back. The railway companies have
m posed upon the people SO long that
their Indignation has become so
great that it is possible that retail
ations may reach such stage that 1t
will be harmful to the country as
we'll as to the railroad companies.
If this is the result, the only consola-
tion they are entitled to is that they
have brought it upon themselves.

III the author of prosperity wagon"
can enlighten us upon this subject
and tell us how high protection en-
abled the farmer and cotton raiser to
evade selling the surplus products In
competition with the rest of the
world. we will be under lasting obli-
cations to bin.
High protection has permitted the
manufacturers to combine and charge
the home consumer almost their own
price for the product OF the factory.
II he has a SUI plus he does like the
farmer. takes 1t to foreign market
and enters the markets of the world.
The trusts largely regulate the price
OF the farmers products and most
emphatically regulates the price OF
his necessities; and when the farmer
sells his products abroad, he natural.
Iy enters the markets of the world.
High protection does not help him 10
this case. We may be very obtuse,
but we cannot see where 1t Is bene-
lit In any particular If the author
of prosperity wagon" can aoduce
logical argument why a farmer or

like most republican editors who al

them, at once comes to the conclusion
that the fetch of high protection Is
responsible for the farmer raising
more than the country can consume,
and that he exports what he does not
want is entirely due to the republican
idea of high protection. The facts
are that the country is prosperous

In looking over past history 1t will
be seen that the greater strides the
human race made In civilization and
progress was when the production OF
the two valuable metals was the
greatest. The long night of the dark
ages which settled over Europe was
caused by the disappearance of silver
and gold, The dawning OF the new
day began when Columbus discovered

English, Holland and French free
