WHEN CONSUMERS COMBINE.
Webster City Fleeman- Tribune.

Sf't'SNA
The time will proba bly, come when
the consumers will combine as those
who now sell have combined When
the consumers do this they can con-
troll the price in large measure. Sup
spose the consumers of fruit or vege-
tables agree to pay a certain price and
no more? If they stick to 1t they will
win. How long would the price of to-
matoes remain at 10 cents pound
if the consumer would pay but cents :?
They would rot on the market unless
sold. The producer Would not permit
that. They would sell them for what
they could get. The same principle
would hold good as to manufactured
articles OF course the price which the
CONSUMER decided to pay would have
to be remunerative, else the manu-
facture of the article would cease. But
the consumer would be absolute mas
ter of the situation if he were to insist
upon exercising his power 1t may
come to that

The holder of liquor license was
adJudged bankrupt. and defendant in
Barnard VS.. State, As Southern Re-
porter, 4S3, became the purchaser of
the liquor at a sale under direction of
the bankruptcy court. After the pur-
chase, defendant sold the liquors to
the licensee, taking a mortgage to Sc
cure the purchase money. 1t was
agreed that defendant should manage
the business for his own security, I'M
til the purchase price was paid. De-
PENDANT was indicted for selling liquors
Without license. The license being
personal permit and unassignable. of
course could not afford protection to
another than the licensee or his per-
sonal representative. The bankruptcy.
it was said. had no effect to cancel the
license, and it was proper for the Ii
cens@e to carry on his business under
the license subsequent to the ad-
judication of his bankruptcy. Consid-
ering the entire transaction, it was
held by the Alabama supreme court
that defendant was. in effect, an en-
ploye of the licensee to conduct the
business under the license until the
purchase price was paid.

STOP THE DISTRIBUTION.
ECedar Rapids Gazette.l !

lStudI ftap1QS SIaZeCte.I
The Gazette has said before, and re-
peats 1t now, that the distribution of
patent medicine samples ought to be
prohibited by legislative enactment. In
the last few years many children have
been made very seriously ill by par
taking of medicine samples, and occa-
slonally death has been reported
from some city in the state from that
cause. The city ordinance requires
that no medicine samples be distrib-
uted unless they be given direct to a
grown person; hut even that ordinance
can be made easily ineffective, for the
distributor finding no one at home may
be tempted to leave sample on the
porch.
The distribution of medicine samples
should be stopped, once for ALL The
life of one child is of more value than
all the medicine samples that could be
piled together.

AIaska,s Varied Resources.

What does Alaska stand for? Or
this point there is a wide divergence
of opinion. To the tourist it means
magnificent fiords. heavily forested isl.
ands, high snowclad mountains. glac-
iers, and picturesque Indian villages.
To the whaler, Arctic foes bordering
fat treeless coast, with here anc
there an Eskimo sod house. To the
merchant, field for exploitation, the
source of salmon, cod and halibut To
the hunter, the best game tract on the
continent, with its huge bear, moose,
countless herds of caribou, and white
big horn. To the pioneer farmer, a
region of some agricultural promise
To the prospector, long. weary jour
neys, lonesome camps, disappoint-
ments, ncessant toll, and substantial
rewards, if he be the lucky one To the
capitalist and engineer, AN empire to be
opened up by railroads, highways.
cities. and the development of gold,
copper and coal mines. While 30 the
average man, it must be confessed,
Alaska is but as mall spot on the map
somewhere near the pole. where the
snow lies deep and men grow sudden
by fabusouslv wealthy,-the source of
sealskins and an endless stream of
gold.
OF these varied impressions each is
in part correct, but composite of all
would best represent the Alaska of to-
day. Yet it is no easy task to blend
such discordant elements. Even Alas
kans, accustomed by long residence to
think of their country in terms of its
great magnitude, seldom do it justice.
The Alaskan fisherman has as little in
common with the inland prospector as
has his prototype of Gloucester with
the Colorado miner. :. The life of the
Whaler, again., is outside the expert
ence of either ,prospector or fisherman.
The lode miner of Juneau is apt to de-
spise the placer miner of Fairbanks as
little more than a rowing adventurer
The pioneer prospector who has won
his gold from the auriferous gravels
unaidedsby capital or machinery views
the advent of the trained engineer with
suspicion. Those who have spent their
lives among the sonber rocky fiords
and heavily forested islands of south
eastern Alaska evince great skepticism
regarding the possibility of any agri-
cultural development. On the other
nand, the resident OF inland Alaska,
familiar with broad fertile valleys
luxuriant grass. and long, bright days,
realizes that some farming is possible
! The small fur trader in isolated posts
has still another point of view, for he

tons as did the voyageur of the great
lakes two centuries ago. At Nome and

WILL WORK OUT ALL RIGHT.


Mr.. Taft has given voice to an old
old argument that protection should
be given in a moderate-very moder-
ate-degree to the manufacturer, but
that the miner, the farmer, the original
producer generally, should be required
to PUT his product upon the open mar
ket without any advantage or favor
from the protective system Some
how or other we have faith that the
Industries affected are sufficiently in
trenched in congress and in the coun-
try so that they will be able to with
stand with measurable success this
latest assault. There may be consider
able confusion While the tangle is be-
ing Strengthened out, but the republic
can party has never yet made any such
partial application of the protective
policy as is now suggested, and in the
ultimate the original producer and the
manufacturer will stand or fall to-
gether.

show symptoms There are Burrows

that disturbs. still the serious thing is
that the president may become the big

DISCOVERING IT OVER.

In a news dispatch from San An
btonio the correspondent asserts that
city ehas discovered that a chance at
real work is wonderful remedy for
hhoboism. vagrancy and similar all
sments. There was a time when Weary

the nape Of the neck and escorted
themsto the basement of the city hall,
for there it was cool and cosy, and
tsthree meals per day came with de-
lightful regularity Likewise was there
much choice company.
But all this has been changed. From
early morn till late at night on the
rockpile with the chain gang is any
thing but pleasant diversion TO the

gospel of work has as yet not been

If San, Antonio has but now "discov-
lered" the efficiency of labor as a de-
terrent to vagrancy some light is thus
I.shed on the causes of southern back
