Hot Words For Steel Trust.

Washington. hay.-Reierring d.
rectly 50 the United States Steel cor
porstion and charging that organi-
ration with violating the antitrust
laws OF the country, Senator Bailey,
In addressing the Senate on the tariff
bill, declared that II the officers OF
the Law do their duty the Steel trust
would be dissolved and said shat he
expected eventually TO see this done.
He added thst II the present ad-
ministrstion fails In les duty In that
respect, the people Of the country
would choose other officials to rep
resent shem and be declared his firm
beliefthst the officers Of the steel cor
porstiop would either be imprisoned
or made fugitive from justice.
"Just put one OF these maleiactors
OF great wealth In the penitentiary
and you will see the antitrust Law
enforced without any further VIOLA
tions," said Mr.. Bailey. "Send one
Of these men who may be found VIOLA
ting either the interstate commerce
law or the anti trust law to the PEN
itentiary and you will stop these
violations by Others. You cannot do
II with fines, because when the court
fines a trust the trust fines she peo-
pie, and as long as the punishment
is measured In dollars and cents they
will continue to violate the law.
"The millionaire" continued Mr..
Bailey, who was receiving the rapt
attention OF senators on both sides
OF the chamber, "values one thing
more than his fortune, and that is
his liberty. He does not love justice.
He does not love that peace Of mind
Tor which Others struggle. But be
loves his liberty"

Keep the Road
Drains Unobst ructed.

This Is the time OF the year for

the fence lines and roadsides. In my
travels over the state the fact is very
noticeable that many farmers per.

to the side bitches OF the roads or
else where they may be washed into
the bitches. This brush washes down
to the culverts and lodges across or
In the opening to choke the culvert
and thereby obstruct the free flow OF
water, forcing 1t onto or across the
roadbed. The result is q vast
amouns OF damage to the Travelled
roadway.
No man has q legal nor q moral
right to obstruct a road drain. The
LAWS plain upon this. But itshould
not be necessary to penslize any
body for this Infringement OF the
law. Good roads should be the desire
OF all and every man should lend his
efforts toward keeping the roads
passable, at least as far as not to
throw distractions In the bitches.
II is impossible to keep q firm road
bed without drainage and the bitches
must be kept open and unobstructed
In order to get the drainage.
I sincerely hope that every man
will give this matter some thought
and consideration. The road off,
cials cannot make the roads without
the aid and interest OF the citizenship
Of the state. Certainly not II the
citizens persist In ignoring the main
feature OF q good road-that is,
drainage.
Itcosts money to keep up the roads
and every property holder is paying

money to repair washout or water

Why Elsie Janis Had Stage
Fright.

From the New York Morning Telegraph.
Elsie Janis had the stage fright Of
her young life the other night when,
Just as she was finishing her imita.
ton Of Anna Held, she glanced to.
ward a lady who was applauding
vigorously In q stage box and recog.
nized the original Of her imitation
beating the air with delight at her
clever mimicry.
Miss Janis wss-vell, to use her
own expression, she was 30 "Aabber.
gasted" at the sight Of the artist.
With whom she was taking compli.
mentary liberties, shat she simply
topped of the stage, and When
enthusiastic encores recalled her she
hid her blushing cheeks behind her
hands and turned her flushed features
quite away from Miss Held's box.
Sand It was lucky l did, too," she
gasped, "ior 1 had II fixed up In my
mind to do an impromptu imitation
Of Blanche Ring, and, goodness
there sat Miss Ring herself in thu
box across from Miss Held's."

HOW ABOUT THE MILLEDGE-
WILLIE REFORMATORY?

Dear Sir:-I had a son, 16 years
of age, who was sent to the State
Reformatory at Milledgeville in
April, 1908, and some few days ago
he got away and was located at Ath-
ems, Ca, and before he was carried
back I paid him visit in person and
had physician to examine him, and
found he had very bad case of
syphilis and had been stabbed in the
side, and had not been sent to school
one day since he had been assigned
to the Reformatory. Don't think I
can submit to this treatment of my
child at their hands and wish to Sc
cure his release and at the same
time recover damages for their neg
lect of DUTY to my son since in their
care and under their Jurisdiction.
Please advise me what you would
take the case for and work it for all
there is in it,
Respectfully,

REFORM PAPERS.

[ see another reform paper had to
give up the ghost. 1t is sad indeed
to think that the people are so in
different to their own interests.
When I look back thirty years and
see the noble men and women who
have given their means and lives to
the cause of POpulism it seems
enough to discourage any one; but
I must say I tried to do my part and
have always had a reform paper,
though I was often hardly able to
raise the price. [ have followed to
their grave such papers as POmerOy's
Democrat, Chicago Sentinel and Ex-
press, Nonconformist, Nebraska In
dependent, Corning Nation, and Peo-
pies Party Paper, edited by Mr..
Watson. But I still had the Mis-
souri, World till it finally had to give
up the fight. I met the editor at
the st. Louis convention and he
looked as though his health was
gone. But we still have Watson and
his Jeffersonians. / watched him in
Congress and know how he was lied
about and cheated out of his seat
in Congress, but there is one thing
they can't cheat him out of and that
is every mail box on the rural route
stands as monument to his memory
for the short time he was allowed to
be in Congress.
Mr.. Watson, this may be taking
too much of your valuable time, but
l must congratulate you on the way
you have been stirring up the preach
ers and exposing the fallacies of For
eign Mission, and, as you say, every
dollar of missionary money should
be used at home.

Mems National Populist League, for
the purpose of aiding the Populist
party in it's great campaign for what
is right
That this league be a national or
ganization, with branches in every
State in the Union, and smaller
branches in each county in every
State.
Now, young man, do you want to
live all your life trampled on by the
corporations? I answer, one for all,
NO! So this league will be organ
lied to help the peoples party in it's
great fight for the common people VS..
corporations
Now, young man, it is your duty
to your country, to yourself, and to
generations not yet born, to aid in
helping the common people get out
from under the rule of corporations.
You ask how can this be done?
By organizing in your county imme-
diately a county branch of the Young
Mems Populist National League and
aid in this great fight.
Now, young men, think over this
suggestion, write your views to the
Jeffersonians, Thomson, Ca, or to me
personally at Oxford, Ca, if public
sentiment is favorable at the present
time.
I suppose you think I am asking
great deal of you, but I have one
more favor which I desire to ask, and
it is that you write constitution for
the League and publish in next

prove a great success and again
