AFTER SUGAR TRUST MEN.

Individuals connected with the su-
gar trust are going to be prosecuted
criminally for their participation in
the fraud which has been perpetrated
against the government by this cor
poration and which has resulted al
ready in the filming of the company for
a considerable sum. There has also
been restitution by the company of
some 100000 to the federal auth
critics on back duties which accrued
from the false weighing of raw sugar
that was practiced by the company.
To defraud the government this great
corporation went SO far as to tamper
with scales in order to cut down the
weight of all the raw sugar it import
ed to the extent of about five per cent
and the operations of this fraudulent
pursuit covered a period of no less
than six years.
1t assuredly ought not to be any
harder to convict the officers of this
company who were responsible for
this fraud than it was to convict the
company, which, as stated, has al
ready been accomplished. Therefore,
it is reasonable to suppose that some
of the men higher up in this rapacious
concern will have an opportunity of
passing some leisure hours behind
Jail bars.
If the government is successful in
the prosecution of these criminal cases
against the officers of the sugar trust,
as there is every reason to believe that
it will be. lesson of the right sort
will be taught to offending trust
magnates. The imposition OF Jail SEN
fences ON few of them will do more
to compel their respect for the laws
of the land than the assessing of
heavy fines against them on every day
of the week. The trouble is that most
of the laws on the statute books which
seek to curb the gigantic and monop-
olostic corporations are so framed
that it il not possible to proceed Grim
inally against their officials. About
the only thing that can be done is to
put the corporation out of business or
fine it a sum of money If it is found
guilty of violating these laws. Such
fines as it is possible to assess do not
mean much to large corporations
whose means are almost unlimited.
These fines are charged up to profit
and loss and are forgotten. If all of
the laws were so framed that the Of
ficers and agents of law breaking cor
porations could be proceeded against
criminally there would be a good deal
more respect for them and there
would not be so much temerity shown
in their repeated violation. This
criminal proceeding in the sugar trust
case, though. ought to have a most
salutary effect in the premises.

KANSAS COANENT
WORKING GIRLS AS WIVES.

"OINh1N6 GIRLS AO WIVES.
college education seems to insure
reduction of progeny among college
bred fathers and mothers. Not two
thirds of the men graduates have
children. Not SO per cent of the girl
graduates ever wed. Those who be-
come wives seldom or never bring
large families of children into the
world.
In this dilemma President Mary E.
Woodley. head of Mount Holyoke col
lege, a Massachusetts institution, ac-
knowledged to be one of the leading
girls colleges of the English-speaking
world, comes to the rescue with the
admission that working girls make
better wives than college graduates
or girls reared in idleness-
The working girl appreciates the
difference between homework at her
own convenience and toll for fixed
number of hours six days week in
from someone else. The college grad
uate or the girl reared in idleness
condemns her husband to life In
apartment hotels and boarding houses
because she thinks homework bur-
den.
The working girl wife is seldom
seen in the divorce court. She does
not taunt her husband with his in
adequate income or moan because she
has fewer dresses than her rather
used to provide. She leaves recrim-
ination and divorce to wives who read
novels and primped while their moth
ers did the homework.
The business girl makes housekeep-
ing business and her home Is sue
cess. She is a helpmate and not a
drawback, and the man who weds her
may well consider himself in luck.

Burn pyrethrum powder in the house
to kill the flies.

HIS HoNoRED NAME.

A dozen years or more ago,

And fancied he was doing so;
He thought of those who stayed behind
To toll unseen and die unknown,
While he, more fortunate than they,

And claiming laurels as his own.
He went back, when he thought his fame
Had spread to every land and cline,
When he supposed his honored name
Had been exalted for all time

PROGRESS OF TARIFF BILL.

SOuCh SlOW DIOCN-S Is D6lIiB mace
with the discussion and consideration
of the tariff bill in the senate that it
does not seem likely that the ex-
pressed hopes of the congressional
leaders for a final disposition of this
most important matter by the first of
June will bear fruit. AS matter of
fact, while the bill has been under
debate in the senate for more than
a week it is not in complete form
and Mr.. Aldrich's finance committee
has yet to make its final report on
many of essential features of this
legislation. But precedents in the
handling of tariff measures in con-
gress are all against such a speedy
settlement of this vexed question as
the prominent members of the ma
tional assemblage originally planned.
In 1894, the Wilson tariff bill went
over from the house of representa-
tives and into the hands of the sem
ate finance committee on February 2.
1t was July before the senate had
passed the bill as amended. The mid
die of August arrived before there
was any signs of agreement between
the conference committees of the
house and the senate and the bill did
not become law until August 81,
and then without either the approval
or veto of President Cleveland. The
Dingley bill, which was enacted at a
special session beginning on March Is.
the same date as the present session
began, was passed by the house on
March 80. 1t came out of the
finance committee to the senate on
May 4 and was not passed with
amendments by the senate until July
Z. 1t then took twelve days for the
conference committees to agree on
the final form of the bill and it be-
came law with President Mckinley IS
signature on July "a.
Better time than this has been
| made, in one respect. by the senate in
the consideration of the present bill
1t has already been reported out by
the finance committee and has been
| discussed for some little time, but, as
stated, the finance committee has not
made its final report yet on many oil
the most important matters connected
with the tariff legislation. The rub
will come. though when the bill goes
| into the hands of the conference
committees of both branches of con-
gress. Indications are that the mem
bers of the house will not be able tc
recognize their own child after the
senate gets through with the Payne
bill, that is, if Mr.. Aldrich and his
cronies have their way. This will
mean that the fight in conference
over the bill will be a prolonged one.
