Have Trusts all the Constitutional Right.2

When the Hepburn rate bin was I'M
der consideration in the senate an at
tempt was made to strike the anthra-
cite coal trust death blow. The
trust is composed of railway corpora
tions that own the larger part of the
anthracite coal lands of Pennsylvania
and West Virginia. BY keeping down
the price Of coal at the mines and by
putting up freight rates on coal, the
railways have been able to monopolize
the anthracite coal industry. The indie
pendent operator is at their mercy.
To meet this situation, various
amendments were offered to the rate
bill. but the one offered by Senator Ell
kins, who, by the way, is one of the
coal trust magnates, that it was pur-
posed to put out of business, was
adopted.
At Philadelphia last week, the
United States circuit court of appeals
decided that the Elkins amendment
is unconstitutional, as it was pro
nounced by Senators Bailey and Spoon
err when it was offered to the senate.
If the decision Of said court is sound
law, does it not mean that the coal
trust, for it's own profit, can continue
taking the lives of hundreds and posi-
bly, thousands, Of the poor, who, but
! for the trusts eXtortion. might be able
to provide themselves with sufficient
fuel each winter to save themselves
from disease and death?

The Birth of a National Party.

The rapidity with which the Socialist
movement has evolved into national
political party astonishes even the
close observer Only a few years ago
the Socialists were a small sect. inSy
were little known outside their own
circle. and inside of that circle they
spent much of their time quarreling
over their economic theories and po-
litical tactics. They were too few in
number TO have to be concerned with
what they should do when they began
to elect representatives to public
bodies, and, consequently, most of their
time was spent in flaying the existing
order. In 1900 they polled only about
90, 600 votes Their press was insight
licant, their funds merger, and their
organization hardly formed.
To-day all this is quite different.
They have a weil-developed organiza-
ton, extending to every state in the
union. Their dues-paying membership
numbers over 10000. Thousands of
speakers are at work carrying on their
propaganda. Scores of weekly papers
are published, one Of them reaching at
times as many as 1000. zoo persons. In
New York and Chicago daily papers
have been started, with a circulation
between them Of perhaps 20, 600. Ger
tainly the Socialists are no longer a
little sect. Many of them now serve
on municipal councils and in state leg
islatures. Everywhere they have a
creditable following, and in some places
they are on the eve of victory. With
growth in number they have grown in
confidence. in ability. and in a sense of
their immediate responsibility. From

No Freak Clothes.

1t is refreshing to learn that tailors
have set their faces firmly against freak
clothes, that they will have nothing to
do with the directoire overcoat and 9TH
er monstrosities.
A well dressed man is pleasing to be-
hold; an overdressed man gives one a
pain. 1t may be that clothes do not make
the man, but some clothes can unmake
a man.
Gratifying it is to know that the ten
dency toward effeminacy in mems dress
is being checked. AS one satorial artist
puts it, mems clothes for the winter
will be of plain design. The cuff has
been tabooed; the peg top sleeve has
been relegated to the scrap pile; corset
fitting wastcoats are a thing of the
past; simplicity and elegance are in de-
mand.
Modesty in dress is as desirable as it
is in conversation.

Game" Horse Dead.

GAINESVILLE Gazette.
"The Rat" nigh horse on the big
bay team which drew the fire depart
ment's No. ? wagon, died Monday
night, and Patrick Gallagher, the driv-
er, who went without his dinner and
supper that day in order to devote
every moment to the hopeless task OF
saving the dying steed, cannot be com
forted. The animal was taken Violent
ly i'll about eleven O'Clock in the morn
ing and was lying on an improvised bed
of straw when an alarm was sounded
at six o'clock that evening. Though
the end was near, the faithful creature
got to its feet and had to be forcibly
prevented from staggering to its place
before the wagon.
The story of 1.-THE RAJ" is the his
tory of the best horse that ever stood
in the fire department stalls. He was
raised by Jerry Humbert at Waldwick,
Wis, town located about ten miles
from Mineral Point. Humbert sold the
equine to Nicholas GRADER of Mineral
Point and Chief Klein made the pur-
chase from the latter in August, 1906,
paying Sl70, the smallest sum paid for
good animal in recent years. At
| that time The Rat" was four years
old and apparently untamable. An eff
! fort had been made to break him to
| single and double harness when he was
three years old, but the trainers had
been unable to master him. While one
of these attempts was in progress he
ran away with an empty wagon,
traversing the ten intervening miles
between Mineral Point and his old
stamping ground at Waldwick. AS a
last resort the owner tried to track"
him for running horse. He could go
half mile in 81, which was trihe too
slow for first money.
While test of his wind was being
made for Chief Klein. he ran away
with his driver. The same thing
happened again when he had been
rounded up for a second exhibition
and 1.-TWO corn-fed farmers were on
the reins. No trial heat wound up
with The Rat" almost hopelessly
tangled up in a barb-wire fence. Il
don't suppose you want him after
this, said the owner mournfully.
con the contrary, retorted the Chief,
81 will take him as soon as you can get
the present encumbrances removed. 3"
That was the last time the horse
ever ran away. The GAINESVILLE trainers
found him dOcile and kind in the stall,
though up and coming" the moment
a piece of harness was laid upon his
back. When he started for any point
the driver knew he was going to get
there. Yet, in repose, the horse was
one of the most unpromising, dispirited
looking creatures in the stables and his
character, together with the sudden
transformation in him when the leather
trappings were brought in and his ever
lasting endurance, won for him
the affectionate title Of "The Rat. F"
Mr.. Gallagher is amply justified in his
obituary quotation from Shakespeare,
1--WE ne'er shall see his like again.
