BRYAN CANNOT EXPLAIN.

Mr.. Bryan says that II he and HE

Illustration of the government they
sill tame the trusts and make them
armless. The people dislike the
trusts and wish to see them brought to
terms. but they are not ready to put
blind faith In everybody who for.
ward with what he advertises a. a
sure cure. Knowing, as they do, that
the trust problem Ia nc an easy one
to solve, they call for a detailed ex-
PLANTATION OF the proposed remedy. 81
that they may form some idea of It's
feasibility. They are not prepared to
elect a man president merely because
he says he can wipe out trusts with a
simple little system OF percentages.
Mr.. Bryan has been stamping the
country for a month and has not given
up one short half hour to the elucida-
ton OF his trust busting measure. 1t
has taken up much less OF his time
than the defense Of Gov. Haskell, who
is an unimportant issue. Mr.. Bryan
has said hat he would make every
manufacturing or trading corporation
| engaged In Interstate commerce take
| out a federal license before being per-
mitted to control more than 25 per
cent Of the product in which 1t deals.
A manufacturing corporation is not
necessarily engaged in Interstate COM
merce because its products are con-
| sumed in some other state than the
ona in which made. Mr.. Bryan ought

In a discussion of wool prices. the
Wyoming tribune says that the price
now Is fully 33 1-3 per cent higher than
it was during the last democratic ad
ministration. The Tribune is too mod

sales made by sheepmen during the
four years from Jan. 1, 1898 to Jan. l

Adulterated Foods.uffs.

at Chicago has been paying careful
attention 10 the purity of foods. Re.
Gently he made a statement that one
great spice company annually ground
up 600 tons OF cocoanut shells and fla
vored the same with essential oils and
then sold the powdered stun for pure
spices. He related about another con-
Germ which sold 100000 worth OF
spices annually, only i've per cent OF
which were pure. The common arti-
cles used for aduteration OF spices
are sawdust. brick dust. burnt grains.

shells and barks. II is the aim Of the
United States government TO put an
end to this adulteration OF foods

active In tracing down such frauds a

houses have been compelled TO go out

Ings OF the People Inevitably Fol-
Iowed-Growth Of Small Towns
and Communities Retarded.


During the last few months OF 1907
the people had a striking example OF
the effects OF too much Capitalization.
While all over the United States there
was prosperity, few embarrassed
concerns In Wall street. New York,
brought about a financial stringency
that became generally felt. For years
the agricultural sections have been
sending money by the millions 10 the
great financial centers. Here IL was
used for the building up OF great
trusts and combinations, which were
greatly overcapitalized. On this
watered capitalization the people have
been compelled TO pay ponderous divi.
dends.
One natural law is that OF concentral-
ization, segregation, and in these mat
tiers Nature carries on It's work we'll,
but unnatural concentration. like 9th
er attractions OF natural laws, bring
quick punishment The Capitalization
OF industries which has been going on
since the trust era started has
brought about an unequitable distri-
button of the earnings OF the people.
II has retarded the growth Of towns
and communities. II has brought In
its wake many evils that affect work
ers in every field. Yet for these evils
the masses OF people are TO blame.
Every man, woman and child who la
bors and who sends the products OF
that labor 10 other places than the
home community assists Just so much
In Capitalization OF business and
financial power. Every resident Of a
rural community who sends his dol
lars TO the large city helps along the
trust builders and the centralizers.
While the maiLorder evil ia one that
is serious. II Ia only 10 as II is a
means ~ Capitalization OF business.

The Marquette Mining Journal. in
commenting editorially upon the selec-
ton of judge of the supreme court
from the upper peninsula, urges Judge
Stone 10 set aside his personal inclin-
ations and honor the peninsula by ac-
cepting the nomination.
The Diamond Drill wishes 10 support
this suggestion and in doing 30 1t Is
impelIed only by desire 70 see the
peninsula offer the best Of It's talent
that it's present reputation for furnish
ing high class public servants may be
maintained and that the peninsula
may do its part.in upholding the high
honor of this great state, and do 1t
well.
Judge Stones personal inclinations
are TO remain in charge Of his present
duties where his abilities as jurist OF
the first magnitude shine out
brightly in the States constellation Of
jurists. II is natural with man who
has reached the stage in life that
Judge Stone has reached. loaded with
honors, political and private, and
worshiped by constituency that must
suffer to some degree should he remove
from us, that he should prefer to spend
the declining days Of busy and sue
cessful career amid surroundings that
shall not prove burdensome and among
neighbors and friends whom be has
known so long and so we'll. In this
choice Judge Stones personal wishes
should be consulted and his decision
should not be questioned but, IL he can
see any possible way to set aside that
decision and take up the burdens Of a
supreme Judge we. with the rest
OF his friends, would be highly pleased

and the consequent sapping nom COM
munities the wealth that should b 70
tanned In them.
The commercial enterprises are the
life elements of the rural towns.
when these enterprises are destroyed.
the town deteriorates. With tho dis
appearance OF the town goes the homo
markets, the good schools and the
churches and the other public CON
veniences that the town affords. With
the going down OF the town. real 60
tate values are deprecated. and de-
preston comes 10 all the community.
How would the farmers fare IL the
towns were wiped out and only the
large cities allowed To existy What
kind OF markets would the farmers
have for all their produce! How does
the average farmer find dealing with
city concerns at the present time?
When a shipment OF eggs is made TO
the city commission man, does the
farmer get as good returns as he does
from the home dealers? How about
other produce? II Is the home mar
kets that AFFORD the growers OF pro-
duce protection. When the calm
thinker who Is engaged In agriculture
considers all these little matters, he
will find that In home patronage lies
the keystone of his success. How
would the agricultural districts be as
living places were there no home
towns? But this is what the situation
would be II all the people OF a com
munity sent 10 some foreign place for
all the goods required.
Home Is a word dear 10 all good
citizens. That man lacks patriotism
whose inclination II is TO oppose the
progress OF the place where he re-
sides. By making better the home
town. we are improving the com
munity OF which we are a
part We cannot improve with
out benefiting ourselves. We
cannot give patronage to concerns
In the large cities without giving just
so much help to the trust builders
and the business centralizers. All
these things are worthy OF the most
serious consideration OF every citizen.

commereIal TraveIers Interested.

There are more than 100000 com.
mercial travellers In the United
States These men are trade mis-
sionaries. They are a very necessary
cog in the commercial wheel. While
there are some who take the view
that they are not producers. they are
nevertheless important In the system
OF distribution OF that which is pro-
duced. The successful travelling man
is close student OF human nature
His vocation Is such as calls for a
high class OF intelligence. particularly
as 10 trade conditions and the lines
which he represents. His keen OBJ
servation OF the trend of affairs has
made him a pronounced home-trader.
He realizes that his interest lies In
protecting the business of the small
city and town. Were trade In mer-
camille lines concentrated In the
large cities, the field for the traveller
would be narrowed. Thus we find
him strong combatant OF systems
that mean concentration. Circum-
stances have made him as equally in.
terested In protection OF local trade
OF merchants as the merchants them.
selves, and he is also interested on
this account in the welfare OF the peo
pie who are the customers OF the
merchants. The force and power OF
the great army OF travellers in the
United States Is not TO be considered
lightly. Their influence Is wide
spread. They will be found quite
willing to work most tremendously
with the townspeople and the real.
dents of rural districts In the matter
OF home protection.

comment on an item that appeared IN

that Supt w J. Richards of this city

that it was a free field and no promises
