AFTER BIG TRUST
Trust Busters Seeking to De-
mo|ish American To-
bacco Company.
COMPETITOR FILES SUIT.

Louisville. August 1.-The American
Tobacco company, known as the To-
bacco Trust, is now the target for
the guns of the trust busters Suit
for million and a half dollars have
been brought in the Federal courts
here against the American Tobacco
company by the Monarch Tobacco
company in which an infringement of
the Sherman antitrust law is alleged
The papers in the case allege that
the so-caled trust through operations
in restraint of sale, has restricted
the manufacture and sale of tobacco
to such an extent that the Monarch
company has been crowded out of
profitable selling fields.
Half a million dollar damages are
alleged but three times that amount
is asked for as the Sherman antitrust
law allows that amount.

hat! We have seen farmers in hats
just like it before, but alas, there was
never farmer off the stage who wore
that beautiful fedora until the real
farmer Bryan set the fashion as ex
hibited in our ladies' fashion papers

of harm to the motor boats respecta-
bility.
Strict legislation on all these points
Is not only necessary but imperative.
And such legislation will do the com
petent man no harm and will raise
the estimation of the motor boat in
the eyes of the public as like laws
have done for the automobiles.
Motor boat legislation and automo-
bile legislation making it necessary
all over the country that the person
running them be a licensed and COM
petent person Of mature age and
sense will do much to solve all the
difficulties above mentioned. The or
dinances in every large town which
is up to date in the East make it nee
essary for the person running an au-
tomobile to show a certificate of ex-
animation in proficiency, the chauf-
feur must be Of an age not less than
eighteen and must give bond. While
such legislation may seem unfair it
Is none the less undeniable that there
have been fewer accidents in the com
munities in which such is the rule.

THE NEW YORK BAROMETER.

There is a panic among the ma
chine politicians in New York state.
Alarmed by Gov. Hughes announce
ment that the place would suit him
again If the people wanted him the
politicians hurried their emissaries to
Taft, Roosevelt and Hitchcock seek
ing comfort. They desired a hands
off, policy. And this is what they
got. AS a measure Of diplomatic
phraseology there is little that could
have been bettered; the message
would keep hands off, but with the
distinct understanding that the poll
t1cians must put up a candidate who
must be stronger than Hughes. There
was hands off indeed. The machine
Will have some difficulty in finding a
man who is as popular with the peo-
pie as is Mr.. Hughes and it is now
up tree. What applies to New York
applies to the whole country. II is
not easy to judge whet our wave
OF reform is emotional or whether
1t really means a distinct advance in
the quickening conscience of the pop
ulation. The coming election will es-
pecially in the larger cities be turn
ing point in a movement, either of re-
action or continuation A reaction
will mean an emotional and spas
modic influence at work With a me-
tropo1is such as New York City
the tendency is always toward the live
and let live policy. The agricultural
districts are in the rank of reform.
To the student of politics, then the
nomination of the candidate for gov
ernor will be in a great measure sig
nificant of the temper of the whole
country. BY a juxtaposition of the
West for the upstate in New York
and the East for the city of New
York, We will have a very fair bar
ometer Of the situation. Eyes should
be kept on New York then, if one
wants to see which way the national
cat is going to jump.

PENNSYLVANIA LEADS
Is Now the Greatest Coal Pro-
ducing State in the
Union.
STATES ORDER CHANGED.

Chicago, August Increased pro-
duction of coal in the United States
has caused a change in the order of
the coal producing states, according to
statistics which have just been COM
piled by the government geological
survey. Illinois. which in 1906 was
third in production, is now second and
West Virginia has dropped to third
place. Pennsylvania is still first on
the list. Illinois production for 1907
as given in the report, was 81, 317 146
short tons, having a spot value of S54.-
6Sl.3S2. Export of coal from this
country to Canada. Cuba and else
where has been steadily growing and
this year promises to break all exist
ing records. Latest government re-
ports show total exports of coal for
period of eleven months as II ,565. 242
tons, with value of $50, 100, 637.
Corresponding figures for 1907 showed
a total of only 2OO99, 947 tons and 1906
was still less. The change in Illinois
position recalls the big coal strike of
two years ago, as the increased pro-
duction for 1907 was due to the re-
newed activity in mining after the re-
covery from the effects of the. suspen-
sion on April 1, 1906. During this
suspension practically all the import
ant mines of Illinois were idle and 40,
1872 out of a total of 81, 1888 miners
were unemployed for 50 days Be
cause of the conditions the production
of West Virginia in 1906 exceeded that
of Illinois by 1,S10,246 short tons, as
the suspension there affected only a
small number of the mines for about
30 days.

EMPLOYEES WAGES CAN
NOT Be ASSIGNED
Baltimore & Ohio Makes New
Ruling.

Baltimore, Aug. Assignment of
wages by Baltimore & Ohio employees
has been officially prohibited under
penalty of immediate suspension or
dismissal. The object is to prevent
loan sharks extorting usurious rates
of interest, an instance having been
found where $25 was demanded in ad-
dition TO interest on a loan. The
Pennsylvania and the Reading, it is
stated, will take like action and the
armies of employees on these three
roads will be protected from further
imposition.

College of Idaho.

The College of Idaho will open for
the eighteenth consecutive school year
Tuesday, Sept. Is.
A large attendance is expected. The
incoming freshman class will be the
largest in the history of the school.
Most of the old teachers will be there.
Miss Firney, after her extended trip
and stay in Europe; Miss Franklin,
from her special work for her doctors
degree in Columbia, and Prof. GIBSON,
fresh from his summers outing, who
has refused several most inviting Of
fers from more favored schools, stays
with the College of Idaho because of
the heroic and self-sacrificing spirit
that dominates him.
Among the new teachers may be
mentioned Miss Abrams, B. A., of the
Iowa State University, special in Eng
fish and Latin; Ralph B. Kyle, B. A.,
Monmouth, special in mathematics
and athletics. Prof George H. Aller,
B. NJ Doane, will have charge of all
the musical activities in the school.
Prof. Aller not only graduated from
Doane Conservatory of Music, but
studied under such instructors in this
county as Gates, Redfeld, Root and
Gleason. Later he studied in Europe
under Lamperti of Berlin and Sbriglia
of Paris. 1t is expected that Prof.
Paul Murphy, B. A. Park, Greek spe-
cial of Harvard, will have charge of
the Department of Greek.
Students will be on hand the first
day if possible, for classification,
bringing their old text books for ex-
change, or cash.

ever, probably the best examnIe Of
what the college is capable of doing.
"nen called upon, is found in the
Renaissance" handsomely bound
book which was issued at the close of
the school term. 1t is no exaggeration
10 say that no book of similar quality
ana merit has been issued by any ed
ucational Institution in the state.
In fact, the College of Idaho feels
that it is giving an education which
truly educates, and a glance at the LIST
or graduates is a sufficient proof of
this. Each year the standard of excel
lence is being raised and according to
lists printed in this summers cata-
logue a certain number of students
whose work was not of a standard tn
satisfy the instructors, have been de-
prlVed of their class standing. The
policy that is being carried out is in
accord with the determination of the
school to remain the first educational
institution of Southern Idaho.
1t will be of interest to friends of
the school to mention the fact that
Harry Sabin of Parma, who passed
the best Eighth grade county exami-
nation outside the Independent dis
tricts, has been awarded the academic
alumni scholarship. Miss Grace Paul
has received the Latin prize scholar
ship; Miss Helen Sterling the Greek
prize scholarship and Mr.. Volney Car
ringer the botany prize.

Chicago Stock Market.

Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Aug.
3f.-With about 10000 more sheep and
lambs on sale this week than last,
prices are not SO bad as a good many
people would imagine, the bulk of the
lambs selling fully as high as last
week; good, choice, Idaho lambs be-
ing quotable at to 6 IA cents per
pound.
The demand for feeding lambs is
much better, the bulk selling at 1-2
cents to $3.50 today. This makes COM
petition between the packers and
feeders and helps out the situation.
Would not be surprised to see some
advance in feeding lambs, as the corn
crop is pretty wei assured and looks
to be heavy one both east and west
of here. With a couple of weeks more
of good weather, it will be fine.
Sheep show an advance of 10 cents
to 10 cents over last week, choice
wethers selling up to 1-2 cents to-
day. Yearlings are about the only
class of sheep showing a decline, the
bulk being Is to 20 cents lower than
last week. For the first time this sea-
son, there seems to be an oversupply
of yearlings this week. The bulk are
tat, and killers are taking advantage
of this foot, but a great many more
could be sold for feeders if here. We
sold both fat and feeding yearlings to-
day at 1-2 cents, with the best year.
lings selling at $4.65 per hundred.
We see nothing in the situation to
warrant anything but fairly good,
active trade, and believe present
prices of mutton are low enough to
make the packers a profit. We also
believe the demand for feeders is 60
ing to increase as the season ad-
vances. Less feeders have gone out
of this market this month thai any
August in many years, This will

Keep Up With Your Mule.

San Francisco, Aug. 25.-William
Randolph Hearst last night gave out
| The contents of letter he today ad-
dressed to the Iroquois club Of San
Francisco, a democratic political Or
ganization, replying to the request of
the club that he tender his resignation
as a member.
Mr.. Hearst says, in his letter, that
| he is both pleased and surprised to
receive the letter from the club
pleased that he has been asked to re-
sign and surprised to learn that the
club is still in existence.
Mr.. Hearst continues: "You i'm
ply that l am not a democrat, and l
strongly suspect that l am not, &C
cording to democratic standards of to-
day. You imply, further, that you are
democrats, and l can not help wonder
ing what kind of democrats you think
you are
Are you 1892 democrats, or 1896
uNiAioSl aus, VI I5Oo ueulOCTdJS, OF lJU4
democrats, or 1908 democrats?
Are you Cleveland democrats be-
lieving in tariff reform that we did
not get, and the military suppression
OF labor unions that we did get?
Are you Parker democrats, sup
porting the trusts if they contribute.
and opposing them if they do not?
Are you Bryan democrats, believ-
Ing in free silver sometimes and gov
eminent ownership sometimes and
initiative and referendum sometimes?
If you are Bryan democrats, do you
also believe in Bryan platform that
contains none of these things?
Friends and ex-brethren of the Iro-
quois club, there is no democratic
party; there is only a Bryan party.
and the followers of that party don't
know when they go to bed at night
what they will be called upon to be-
lieve when they wake up in the morn
ing.
And so l received your commu-
nication with qualification and graft
tude, and so l withdraw from your
club with pleasure, and without the
slightest hard feeling. Good luck and
God bless you, and may you be able to
keep up with your mule"
