Feed in Colorado, Shear in Utah.

While George Kindel, the freight
fighter. was over on the Western Slope
the other day he got onto a thing that
amused him very much. He discovered
something we have known all along and
it is that some of the sheep owners
over there drive their fiocks into Utah
to shear because the Salt Lake rate on
wool to Boston is lower than the Colo
RADIO rate. A longer distance for less
money, and this is the point that
amuses Brother Kindel as all such
idiosyncracies always do. AS usual,
Colorado gets the worst of it. Our
fiockmasters do all the work in Colo
RADIO but have to emigrate out of the
state to get square deal as shippers

least, the accusations are plausible. On
other charges the government, few
months ago. recovered 81, $4,000 in
duties and penalties. and there may be
enough evidence found to sustain the
present ones. This point is now engag-
ing the attention of the president and
the attorney general.
1t must be borne in mind that charges
against have come up under Democratic
as well as under Republican admins
trations. The sugar provisions of the
Mills tariff bill of 1888. it was said at
the time, were drawn up by the head
of the trust, with the consent of the
Democratic Ways and Means Com
mittee. That bill was halted in the
Republican Senate. A like accusation
was brought against the Democratic
tariff act of 1894. Except the Standard
Oil combine. the sugar aggregation was
the first of the trusts, and was the
most active of all of them in politics,
at the outset. 1t was the sugar trust
which the Republican National Conven-
platform. it made this announcement:
I'VE declare our opposition to all
combinations of capital. organized in
trusts or otherwise. to control arbi-
trarily the condition of trade among
our citizens: and we recommend to
Congress and the state legislatures in
heir respective jurisdiction. such
legislation rs will prevent the execu-
tion of all schemes to oppress the peo-
pile by undue charges on their supplies,
or by unjust rates for the transporta-
tion of their products to market"
Here, in the convention which nomi-
mated Harrison for president the first
time. the first mention of trusts was
made which appeared in any represen-
tatlve partisan body. The Republican
party's attitude toward the trusts was
declared at that time. and. in the
years which have passed
since then. il has not changed. As
result of the stand taken by the Re-
publicans in lsss the Republican Con-
gress passed the Sherman antitrust
bill in 1890. and President Harrison
signed it. On many occasions since
then Republican presidents have in
voked that statute. and sometimes
with success, II proof can be obtained
that the sugar combine has violated
the law. the country may proceed
against il with all the resources at its
Globe Democrat.

Cleaning Hints.

Use clear water, without soap, to
wash windows, and when rubbed with
paper they will be perfectly clear.
To clean graniteware when mixtures
have burned on. Half fill the pan with
cold water, add washing soda and heat
gradually to the boiling point. when
the dish may be easily washed.
Water bottles or carares. are hard to
keep looking bright, especially if the
water used leaves deposit of lime.
One method is to fill the bottle half full
with soapsuds, add bits of newspaper
and let stand. shaking occasionally.
Another method: Save the peeling
from potatoes, add to soapsuds and
shake occasionally until clean.

and never will. 1t would be the ex-
treme of folly for the next congress or
any congress in the near future to

ton put before a member of congress

The Charges against the Trust.

| 1t is easy to believe the report that
Mr.. Taft will proceed against the su-
gar trust with nll the power Mt the
command of the government if suffi-
cient evidence can be obtained to give
chance of conviction. Ii is presi-
dents business to enforce the laws,
and every president does this, or at
tempts to do it. The charges which
are brought against the sugar combine
are serious. and the law officers of the
government are inquiring into them.
They have been at their work of ihves-
tigation for several months. although in
u quiet way. and unknown to the coun-
try. AS result of the work several
officials of the trust. it is said. resigned
through fear of exposure and punish
ment. One high official of the trust
has just been indicted of accusations of
fraud in connection with false entries
connected with cargo of sugar from
Cuba. Other indictments are said to
be pending. Ii is unnerstood that with
in day or two the country will learn
just what course the government is to
pursue. The recent case which was de-
cided adversely to the Department of
Justice is to be appealed. The possibil-
ity that new suits will be brought on
other charges is still in doubt.
The country may rest assured that
the law officers of the government will
proceed vigorously if proof be secured
that the law has been violated. Ii is
noticed that. from the collectors Of
tees in Philadelphia. Boston and other
places. dcnia.s are made of certain
charges of sugar frauds on the customs
at those ports. The accusations of
eollusions between the agents of the
trust and customs officials are serious
matters, but the people will not accept
them unless proof is furnished. 1t is
nolds. formerly assistant secretary of
the treasury. and now member of the

trust, in his days. had never attempted
10 influence the treasury officials in
their action toward it. This was in

CABBAGE FROM NEW YORK
IS NOT In REAL DEMAND

New York cabbage, which generally
is popular at this time of the year, is
meeting with little demand.
The reason is not to be found in the
quality of the cabbage, but rather in
the fact the supply of the homegrown
vegetable has not been exhausted.
AS far as quality goes, the New
York product this year is up to the
average of former years, and con-
sumers have had no occasion to find
fault with it. 1t simply is a ques-
tion Of how long the local supply will
hold out, and dealers are Of the opin-
ion that it will not last more than a
week or two longer at the most.
Cranberries are being received In
regular shipments. and the berries are
showing a gradual Improvement, not
withstanding early indications were
they would be small all season.
