session it becomes more difficult to
control and whip into line the un-
wieldy republican majority of the
senate
In recent years there has been a
great influx of young men, and these
refuse to recognize any boss but their
own ambitions. Aldrich realizes that
his power as the great and only tao
tlcal leader of the senate is wan
ing.
Senator Aldrich was born in Fos-
ter, R. L., November 6, 1S41, and af-
ter receiving an academic education,
engaged in mercantile pursuits. He
became a member of the Rhode Is
land legislature in 1875 and its
speaker in the following year. He
was elected to congress for the term
1S79-1SS3, but resigned to take his
seat in the senate, where he has
since been prominent and of late
years the admitted leader. He is
the father-in-law of John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr., son of the head of the
oil trust" and this family connec-
ton has often led to charges that
he has unduly favored the Stan
dard Oil Company and other big
corporations,

New Hearst Newspaper.

New York, Nov. 6.-According to
an apparently reliable report current
here, William Randolph Hearst is
completing arrangements to add an
other to his string of newspapers
by establishing daily journal in
Atlanta. 1t is alleged that John
Temple Graves, who was the vice
presidential candidate on the indie
pendence party ticket will have edi-
torial charge Of the new sheet. Mr.
Graves was editor of the Atlanta
Georgian before he came to New
York to accept $4,000 position
with Mr.. Hearst's morning metro
politan paper, The American. He
is said to be anxious to return to
the Georgia capital, and the new pa
per will give him an opportunity to
do so without severing his relations
with Mr.. Hearst.

Our System of Meat Inspcction


The people of the United States
consume over $4,000, 100000 pounds
of meat annually, per capita con-
sumption of nearly 200 pounds a
year. This is considerably more
meat for each man, woman and child
than the weight of the average full
grown man. The Notwithstanding
units of the American family eat ev-
cry year more than double their
weight Of edible flesh and over three
times their own weight Of what may
be termed meat on the hoof. 1t is
calculated by the Bureau of Animal
Industry at Washington that meat
constitutes fully one-thrd of the ma
tons food bill, a proportion which
makes the average European work
ngman scratch his head in amaze
ment that there should be such a
vast meat supply, and wonder if per-
haps we are not cannibals. The ma
jority of fairly prosperous foreigners
never see meat on their tables Of
tener than once week. Think of
it! Only fifty two good meals Of
meat in a year! Where would the
Beef Trust" be with such a mar
ket in America?
The condition being as it is in
the United States, and the fact be-
ing that the average family eats
meat more than once day, the wis
dom Of an adequate meat-inspection
law, strictly enforced, is more than
apparent. Our system of meat in
spection is the result of series of
laws, the latest enactment, which re-
lates principally to canned and pre-
served meats, being the outcome of
the tremendous popular uprising of
1906. This question now presents
itself: ''Is the present law adequate
and effective, and, now that the fur
ry of popular Indignation on the sub
ject has subsidized, is it we'll admin
istered?" To this query the an
swer can be made that the govern
ment meat inspection of today is sat
isfactory to the consumer, however,
closely he may inspect its operation.
Despite, too, the direful prophesies to
the contrary, it has proved to be
an absolute advantage to the packers
and manufacturers, for it has given
their products standing which they
never before enjoyed. The law is
comprehensive, it is working vel
and it is being strictly enforced. Il

The charge against Pierce grew
out Of alleged false statements made
by him in securing the re-admission
of the WatersPierce Oil Company
to Texas. after it had been evisted
as a criminal trust. United States
Senator Joseph w. Bailey was in
volved in the matter, and was al
legged to have received large sums
from Pierce in return for legal SER
vices in aiding the oil company to
evade the provisions of the Texas
antitrust law. Bailey was sub
jected to a legislative investigation
and eXhonerated, but the democratic
split caused by the affair has not
yet been entirely healed.

Pierce To Be Tried.

Austin, Tex, Nov. Arrange

the trial of H. Clay Pierce, head of
the Waters-Pierce Oil Co., Stand
ard auxiliary, who was indicted in
this county on the charge of false
swearing. The case will be called
before Judge Calhoun of the Fifty
third court, but it is believed that
an effort will be made to get a
change of venue.
Pierce's promise to voluntarily re-
turn to Texas for trial ended the
efforts of the Texas authorities t.!
secure his extradition from Massa-
chusetts, where the oil magnate has

five-year-old daughter of John NJ. Ell
lis of this city, kidnapped by Mrs.
Bowman and taken to Butte, Mont,
where Sheriff Trathen made an in
effectual attempt to land the child
and the woman in the case, has been
restored to her father
1t was learned Monday evening
that the husband of Mrs. Bowman
restored the child to her father Sun
day evening Hr. Ellis gave the girl
into the keeping of Mrs. Peter Cop
pc, Of Lead City, where she is now
being cared for. Although the
child had been restored to her faith
err, as stated above, Sheriff Trathen
was not notified of this part of the
proceedings and only learned it Mon
day night by accident, while con-
versing with a friend in Lead. 1t
seems that Mr.. Ellis did not think it
worth while to inform the officer,
giving as an excuse that he thought
the sheriff knew all about the Incl
dent and the return Of the girl.
When Sheriff Trathen returned
from Butte he traced Mrs. Bowman
as far as Edgemont ana was satisfied
that she was in hiding in the Hills
and expected to accomplish her ar
rest at any time. Mrs. Bowman has
contended that she did not kidnap
the child, but simply took her up
to Montana on visit. The sheriff
has not been able up to the present
time to find Mrs. Bowman. but it is
expected that Developments Wal fol-
low within day or two. despite the
