The present session of the leg
islature will be one of usual i'm
portance, judging from the good
beginning. On the second day
the Republicans, over De- mocrat-
lc protest, voted each member a
copy or the Code of West Virgin
Ia. These books cost five dolla rs
apiece to manufacture, and the
Wheeling Register calculates
that the little grab will cost the
State twelve hundred dollars. OF
course this isn't much, but we
should remember that this took
place on the second day. What
the other 43 days will bring forth
remains to be seen. In the
meantime the legislators should
in no wise be bashful when it
comes to delving in the public
eXchecquer, The much promis-
ed pledge of curbing expendi-
lures has been fulfilled CD There
are more attaches than at any
former session and the appropri
atoms will no doubt be greater
than even the eXtravagant ses-
sion of 1907.

While the principal product OF the
tarin revision experiment is n failure,
some Of the by.products are valuable.
one Of these is the demonstration OF
the worthlessncas of platform pledges

tie to choose between the shameless.
ness with which certain Republican
senators have repudiated the cam
paign promises of revision downward,
and the nudacity with which certain
Democratic senators have ignored the
oft.repcated declarations of their
party against class legislation and in
favor of tariff for revenue only. These
two factions. each Incorporating

INCREASE IN COST OF LIVING
HAS BEEN CONSTANT.
Fact Known to Every Housewife and
Corroborated by Bradstreet's Fig.
ures, and the PIundering
is TO Go On.

Every housewife knows that in the
last few years there has been rapid
increase in the cost of living. II has
been the cause of general complaint.
To the families OF men of small
means, day laborers, mechanics,
clerks and employees on limited salar'
les. high prices have made the daily
problems of existence more and moro
difficult
Few women, however, even the
most careful housekeepors, have kept
account OF the rate of increase in
prices beyond noting steady ad
vance In domestic expenses. They
have kept no figures for proofs. Bat
Bradstrccts figures. which no sensi.
bic person will deny, furnish ths
proofs.
According to Bradstrect's, between
July /, 1896. and July /. 1909, bread.
stuffs and live stock have more than
doubled in price. provisions, fruits,
hides and leather have increased over
80 per cent. and textiles 60 per cent

President Taft estimates that the
government can lop at least $50,O00,-
600 off the original estimates for next
years expenditures without impalring
the efficiency of any department.

PORK PROFITABLE
IN THE HAWAIIANS

vail as extensively as it does in the
corn belt. and can easily be avoided
entirely by exercising care in the i'm
portation of breeding stock, and by the
observance OF ordinary sanitary pre-
cautions
The breeds which have thrived best
are Berkshire and Duroc Jerseys; but
other breeds may perhaps prove equal
Iy we'll adapted to our climate. On all
of the islands there are considerable
number of hogs which have escaped
domesticatfon, and which have de-
veloped a very hardy type of razor
back; but these wild hogs do not pro-
duce pork so economically as pure
breeds or grades.
There is a great abundance of feeds
suitable for pork production from
which to make a choice. In most To-
calities, alfalfa thrives well, producing
ten or twelve crops per year, and may
be fed green or grazed by the pigs. In
addition to alfalfa, we have soy beans,
COW peas, corn, and untold quantities
of algaroba beans. On Algaroba beans
alone, hogs make a very rapid. increase
OF weight at a cost of about IL cents
per pound These beans may be pur-
chased at present for $3.50 per ton,
which is far under their actual feeding
value. Furthermore, papaias, taro and
cassava may be grown in unlimited
quantities, and furnish highly desfr-
able and economic feed for pigs.
With the present demand, far in ex-
cess of the local supply ana with the
constant increase in this demand
there SENS to be a better opportunity
than in any locality on the mainland
for considerable number Of farmers
to engage in the business of pork pro-
dUctiOn.

ILLINOIS VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
EXPOSES UNDERWORLD

Hits at Champions of Chicago's Curse
Who Are Opposing Legislation
In Illinois.

CHICAGO, March, 13.-Skulking OPP

clared to be in j ehalf OF the under
world, was vigorously denounced by

Recommendations of the National Wig

advocating fourth measure, proposed
by the Woman's World and side
stepped by legislators, designed to
hold property good for offenses of the
white slavery.
The two bills recently introduced
into the Illinois state legislature by
Representative Lederer relating to the
white slave traffic, one making it a
felony to secure support il whole or
in part from the earnings Of q prosti-
tute. the other .nakin:, it a felony to
detain any woman III 4 diSOrderly
house for any claim or debt, are very
necessary pieces of legislation" de-
clared the Illinois Vigilance associa-
ton. illinois is behind other states
in laws of this character Holding as
she does the gigantic city Of Chicago
with her varied nj complicated popr-
lations, IllipGi, ought 10 rank first in
laws that make possible the stamping
out of the white slave traffic. 1t was to
be expected tat the undec- world and
its champions would skiNfuily and
cautiously Oppose the enactment ,,t
such laws. Such opposers are either
