A FINE OBJECT LESSON.

NO more perfect example of the work
ings OF a monopoly could be imagined
than the story told in court of the pow
der trusts operations First was the
combination Of several large concerns:
then the systematic oppression of COM
petitors by what is best known as pred
atory competition. Then, the competi-
tors having been driven out of BUSH
ness or absorbed, prices We're immedi-
ately advanced to an exorbitant figure
and the consumers were compelled to
pay tremendous profits as well as the
cost Of destroying competition. The ev-
idence showed that the trust not only
cut prices to kill its rival. but en-
ployed men secretly TO stir up the mine
employees ard destroy the business OF
stores handling competitive products.
In effect. the scheme was as destruc-
tive of any independent trade as if the
venturesome rival had been blown up
or his business destroyed by fire.
Now. the beauty of the exposure at
this time is. that il shows how Mr.. Du-
pont. the head of the trust, United
States senator from Delaware and. IN
til recently. the head of the Republi
can speakers bureau. has come into
political power. Mr.. Dupont was the
choice of Chairman Hitchcock, but with
the knowledge of Mr.. Taft and with
the tacit approval OF the president. Not

THE METALS
THE ORPHEUM VOTE.

We invite the serious attention of the
Republican machine to the very sig
nihcant poll taken of the audience at
the Orpheum theatre on Thursday
evening. The vote was taken under
the supervision Of The Herald and OF
the secretary of the Republican city
committee. No intimation had been
given In advance that a poll would be
taken, so there could be no chance for
packing the house for any party. The
people who voted are a representative
class. neither rich nor poor. all capable
of forming intelligent opinions on pO-
ltical subjects, and evidently indepen-
dent enough 10 scratch tickets freely.
The figures showed that Mr.. Bryan
leads Mr.. Taft by small margin, and
with a very heavy Sain over the vote
for Judge Parker four years ago. They
show further-and this was a surprise
that a great many Republicans who
viii vote for Taft viii not vote for
Spry. but choose knight instead. Mr..
Knight got over twice as many votes
twenty-six votes in a total of 514. One
hundred and fourteen who mean to
support Taft are going to vote for
knight.
Only one conclusion can be drawn
from that result. Bryan viii have a
very much heavier vote than Parker,
With every probability that hes will
carry the state. Knight stands a very
much better show of election than Spry
who will run so far behind his ticket
in the towns and cities that he cannot
possibly hope to avert defeat by such
strength as he has in the country dis
tricts. Not only will Knight poll the
full Democratic strength, but he Will
draw thousands of straight Republicans
from that party and almost all the
Americans" who normally would vote
the Republican ticket. OF course part
of this advantage for Knight and Bry-
an is due 70 the action of the Smoot
machine in refusing to permit the Taft
electors to go on an american" ticket;
and the combination of factors against
the machine is gathering such momen-
tum that their Generalization now will
be rout by the day of election.
The whole trend of public sentiment
is for knight and peace in this state
1t is helped by Mr. Bryan's unques-
toned popularity. by the hostility which
the Republican machine has engendered
and by the confidence the Democrats
have in their nominees. So strong is
this trend that even the Republican
managers recognize it. but they can
not hope to stem the tide that has set
in against them. The people OF Utah
are determined TO settle their great
question now; and they see their OPP
portunity in the election of Mr.. Knight
as governor. and in the success of the
presidential ticket here.

TAMMANY WILL STICK.

The desperate condition in which
the Republicans find themselves in
these closing days of the campaign for
the presidency is evidenced by the fact
that in the west they are pinning their
hopes to an alleged deal with Tam
many. under the terms of which
Hughes is to be ditched and New York
given to Taft. This is the only way
out according to Walter Wellman, the
Chicago Times-Herald political prophet
and weathercock.
While the virtue of the Tammany
leaders may not be above suspicion,
there doesn't seem to be any good rea-
son why they should enter into any
such disreputable scheme as proposed
by the Republicans, for the simple rea-
son that the Democratic candidate for
governor, Mr.. Chanler, is sure of cleo
nothing to gain by throwing votes to
Taft. That the administration Repub-
licans would enter into any kind of a
deal to defeat Bryan, even involving
the slaughter of Hughes, goes without
saying. The brother-in-law of Roose-
Welt and the brother of Taft must be
saved from exposure at all hazards
Bryan and a Democratic congress
would certainly look into the rotten
Panama canal conspiracy, and it is
quite possible that other scandals of
great magnitude remain to be uncov-
cred.
The avidity with which this Wellman
idea has been seized upon by some of
the western Republicans is a sad COM
mentary upon political morality The
Minneapolis Journal goes so far as to
suggest that while the Taft strikers
have made a bargain with Tammany,
they do not intend 10 tote fair, and that
while the Democratic votes will be de-
livered to Taft the Republicans will
vote for Hughes, and that both will
carry New York. This view of the case
is probably based upon the assumption
that the Tammany leaders are idiots
as well as scoundrels. That the Repub-
hCans are capable of attempting such
a game is true; that in their hour of
desperation they are willing to cross
the borderland of crime is also doubt
less true, but there must be two par
ties TO such a rascally bargain as the
one limited at by Mr.. Wellman, and
isn't in the habit of giving
for nothing or going against
a she'll game operated by its enemies.
The man who is going to discover the
north pole will have to guess again.
1t would be a fine thing now, wouldn't
It, to throw Hughes down, in view of
the fact that he left his own state and
the west for Taft, and is said
to be the only man on that side of the
political fence who made any impress
sion upon the voters in the agricultural
states But such is the Republican
idea OF political honesty
AS to Tammany, when the votes be-
low the bridge are counted this year
il Will be found that there will be
enough of them for Bryan to overcome
the upstate plurality. with many thou
sands TO spare.

The Profitable Brood Sow.

For fall pigs breed the SOW In
April or May. Early pigs bring the
best prices. Breeding stock should
not be fat, but should be In thrifty
condition. If the SOW is thin and
poor the litter will be a disappoint-
mcnt. Such pigs will prove hard
feeders and slow to make profit. The
period of CESSATION is normally 116
days, but frequently less. 1t is a
good rule to expect the young In
week less than four months. Choose
a thoroughbred boar If one is obtain
able. Do not let yourself be beguiled
into the belief that scrub or grade
is of anything of like as great value.
Choose good stock every time, and
you will invariably have better pigs
and better prices for them. Expert
enced swine raisers think nothing OF
carrying a SOW ten or fifteen miles to
a choice male. The second day OF
heat is better than the first. The
period of heat lasts three days. After
single service the SOW should be re-
moved at once, and kept alone for
two days, where she cannot even hear
other swine.
When driving a distance, see that
the SOW has comfortable ed in the
wagon and is not hungry. Small
ropes may be tied to her forward
feet and passed through holes in the
bottom of the wagon body to keep her
from making trouble and requiring a
rack. In severe cold weather she
should have a blanket thrown over
her At the end of twenty-one days
watch the SOW and know whether she
has been successfully bred. To breed
and rear swine is not difficult, but
care and watchfulness are necessary
parts of the work. Let no beginner
be discouraged at few losses, If he
will but learn from experience. A
few litters of plump, rollicking pigs
at good prices will make 1t all up tc

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1t is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. II deem
1t my duty to let you know how
Grape-Nuts food has cured me Of indi-
gestion.
IT had been troubled with 1t for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. 1 followed instruc-
lions and now am entirely we'll.
"The whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see 1T"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food is that 1t
is predigested by natural processes,
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using;
II also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
II that part of the human body is In
perfect working order there can be
no dyspepsia, for nervous energy rep
resents the steam that drives the en-
CINE.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery Of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food car
be used by small children as well AZ
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

Animal Sounds.

Not only, writes a correspondent,
are we particular as to the right word
for expressing the sound Of an anil
NAL, but, If the language of the
sportsman of the middle ages had
not been allowed to become obsolete,
we should be equally rich in our di-
rections. Thus. in mentioning COM
panies of animals, we should speak of
a pride of lions, herd Of deer (but
a bevy of roes), sloth Of bears, and
many others. When our quarry re-
tired to rest, we should say that the
hart was harbored, the buck lodged,
the hare formed, and the rabbit set
and so on.
These picturesque descriptive nouns
were not contined to animals, but
were also applied to human beings.
A number of princes was a state, OF
hermits an observance, Of porters a
safeguard, of buffers draught and of
cooks temperance; but while a COM
pany of harpers was melody, one OF
pipers was poverty, and, oddly
enough, a skulk might be either a
collection of thieves or friars.-Lon-
