SUPREME court DEF|ED

The Beef Trust defles the Supreme
Court of the United States every day
Of its existence.
1t defles and violates the permanent
injunction granted against 1t by the
highest court Of the country January
30, 1905.
And such is Its power for harm. that
no official can be found who will stand
up for what the United States Supreme
Court decreed on behalf Of the people.

trade and commerce.
1t continues to fix and to maintain
throughout the country uniform and
cxorbitant price for meat In defiance
Of the mandate Of the highest court

The temporary injunction issued by
Judge Peter 8. GrOsscup May 20. 1909,
against the Beef Trust was made per-
nancnt by the United States Supreme
Court IN decision announced Janu-
airy 30, 1905. The decision establishes
these points:
Traffic In live stock transported from
State to State Is Interstate commerce
and persons engaged In buying aud
selling such live stock IRE engaged In
interstate commerce.
The combination between dealers to
suppress all competition In the pur-
chase of live stock Is IN unlawful re-

The combination between dealers to

Ex-PREsiDENT OF MANUFACTURE
ERs' ASSOCIATION OPPOSED
TO PROSPERITY PLAcARos.
LETTER TO Mr.. KERN
SAYS NO MANS BREAD AND But.
TER SHOULD DEPEND ON
HOW HE VOTES.

Indianapolis, Ind.-D. NJ. Parry, ex-
president of the National Association
Of Manufacturers and a prominent Re
publican and manufacturer in Indiana,
in reply to letter from John w. Kern,
Democratic nominee for vice presi-
dent. has announced himself as OPP
posed to the posting of so-called pros
perity placards" in factories.
Mr.. Parry's letter in part follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Kern:-I have your
very interesting letter concerning the
prosperity placards, and to disabuse
your mind at once of any doubt as to
where l stand on this matter will say
that no such placards will be posted at
the plant of the Parry Manufacturing
COMPANY.
Il have had good deal to say in tho
past about the abuse of power by the
labor unions-some people tell me l
have said too much on the subject-bM
I have yet to say word in favor of
any abuse OF power by the employer
And 1t is an abuse of the power of the
employer to intimate to the employe
that his services will not be needed If
he does not vote a certain way. When
man is made to believe that his bread
and butter depend on how he votes. he
ment-he is deprived of the most i'm
portant Of his citizenship rights. be-
lieve 1t is our duty to frown down upon
all efforts to sway the Judgment Of
men other than by methods of proper
argument and persuasion untinctured
with coercion.
Il am sure that the great majority
of the manufacturers of the country
will refrain from posting of the objec-
tionable rlacards, and that mainly be-
cause it would be taking an unjust and
distressing advantage of the emplOye.
There Is the further reason also that
most manufacturers run their business
In accordance with the demand for
their products and not In accordance
with the political barometer. 1t is
poor business judgment, on the face
OF 1t, to post promise TO run factory
full time il the event of any ones cleo
tion, for there is chance, you know.
that The promise may have to be made
good In the face of adverse conditions.
"Shouli the promise for any reason
not be made good the employer would
be guilty of bad faith with his men,
and II the employer does not keep faith
with his men he cannot expect his men
to keep faith with him.
"As for the tariff, l think the coun-
try is to be congratulated in that both
parties promise its readjustment: am
free to say that the Parry Manufactur-
ing Company is willing to see any du-
ties imposed for the protection of the
buggy business go on the trading list
in negotiating with foreign countries
for reciprocity, and there are other
manufacturers in similarly generous
mood"

A Dainty for Children,

This Is the time of year when the
appetite of most children becomes
capricious and mothers find 1t hard
to find things which tempt youthful
palates. Very often when this is the
case novelty of appearance will induce
a child to eat something which in its
familiar guise he has scorned. Among
the dainties that one mother construct
ed for a child whose appetite fell off in
the summer was achieved by half
toasting cubes Of fresh bread which
were then turned into dish, covered
generously with maple sugar and
topped with whipped cream. Besides
being delicious to the taste this dish
contains many nutritious elements.

Wyoming Coal Miners Strike.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-A strike of all
tnioniled coal miners of Wyoming be-
gan Monday evening at 6 o'clock, when
the night shifts in every camp Of the
state in which the United Mine Work
ers of America is organized refused to
go to work. Ten thousand miners are
involved in the strike, which is the
result of the action of the Mine Own
ers' Association in reducing wages
from 10 to is cents day.
Not pound Of coal will be mined
in Wyoming except In few small
camps where the miners are not or
ganized, and one of the principal In
dustries of the state is at stand
still.
The principal mines affected by the
strike are those of the Union Pacific
Coal Company at Rock Springs, Cum.
berland, Hanna and Superior, employ
Ing 5000 men, and those Of other com.
Danies at Kemmerer, Oakley, Dia.
mondville, Dietz, Kooi, Carneyville,
Monarch and smaller camps, employ
ing an additional 5000 men. The
amount of wages involved is about
100000 daily.

Roots Seek Moisture.

It Is demonstrated fact that roots
seek moisture and having found it go
no deeper. A comparison has been
made of the tendency of roots of
plants in humid regions and in dry
regions. In the humid regions, the
roots spread out much more than in
dry regions. where they go more d.
rectly downward. This is difference
that must be understood by the farm
er who must grow plants both In wet
seasons and in dry seasons. Thus, in
a dry season, for farmer to sprinkle
any crop from above means that the
roots will turn upward in search of
the moisture and the sprinkling will
have to be continued if good results
are to be secured.

Home

II comforts and quilts are dried in a
good stiff breeze they will be as light
and fluffy as when new.
Colored French handkerchiefs will
not fade II they are dipped In salt
water before the usual washing.
Salts Of ammonia mixed with lime
will take out stains OF wine from silks.
Spirits of turpentine is equally good
for the same purpose.
Gum arabic starch is obtained by
pouring boiling water over the gum
arabic, then diluting it to the right con-
sistency. 1t is an excellent starch for
pieces that are starched to dry and
must not be ironed.
Instead Of trying to cream" sugar
and butter for cake with a tiresome
spoon or knife blade, try using wire
potato masher This chops the butter
finely and blends the two with little
trouble in a comparatively short time.
Japanned trays should never be
touched with boiling water, for that
would cause the varnish to crack and
peel off. To clean these trays rub
them over with little olive oil and
then polish with piece OF flannel,
which will absorb the superfluous oil.

HAND PICKED.

The amateur pear planter should
stick to the tried varieties.
Asparagus culture has been revolu-
tionized. Gardeners now SOW the seed
in rows in rich. well prepared land
and cultivate 1t like other garden
crops.
The export Of fruit offers much to
be hoped for in the future; as the
foreign markets are often willing to
pay very high price for American
fruits.
The soil of the orchard needs man.
agement just as surely as does the
soil of the field in which vegetables
are growing. 1t needs to be kept sup
piled with the elements of plant food
