SENATE COMMITTEE
STRIKES A BUMP

Washington, Feb. 23.-Friends of
President Roosevelt in congress are
quietly laughing today at predica-
ment which the presidents enemies
have placed themselves by their
eagerness to prove him guilty of a
violation of the law.
The senators on the committee on
judiciary, after having found the
president guilty to their satisfaction
of countenancing a violation of the
antitrust law by sanctioning mer-
ger of the United States Steel Cor
poration and the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company. have suddenly acquir-
ed cold feet. They wrote report
to that effect, and It has been print
ed. II was to be submitted to the
senate today, but last night the at
tack of cold feet came on and no
report was made. The senators CON
fidentially explained the matter this
way TO their colleagues:
1--WE have found the president
guilty in this report. Now, II we sub
init the report, the president may
charge us with finding >he president
guilty before he is tried. II he is
guilty of any violation OF law, It is
the duty OF the house to impeach
him. The public will ask why we
don't go ahead and impeach the
president, IL we believe him guilty.
but the members OF the house Will
not bring impeachment proceedings
They say the president is about
to go out of office, but they would
not impeach him. even II he were at
the beginning of the term Where
will we stand II we submit this re-
port7 The public is likely to taunt
us with cowardice in not getting aft
er the president after we have de-
clared him to be a law-breaker. So
we don't know what to do"

THE BEEF TRUST AND THE PRICE OF
MEAT

We defend neither monopoly nor extortion
ate prices; but we do love logic like a seldom
welcomed friend. Those, who still find it con
venient to assai national administration be-
cause it does not "bust trusts, have discov-
cred an argument with which to contradict the
statement that high prices of meat are due
principally to natural causes, such as disap-
pearance of the cattle ranges, increasing urban
population without increasing the meat supply,
and greater consumption during prosperous
years. They point out the enormous profits of
the big packing houses and declare such earn
ings could be predicated on nothing, excepting
extraordinary profits.
No doubt the packing houses-the "beef
trust", if you please-take all the profit they
can yet the fact remains that the majority of
butchers prefer buying their beef from Chicago
to Strengthening it themselves. They would not
do that if there was much greater profit to them
in doing their own butchering.
Moreover, the great earnings can be predicat-
ed on extensive sales as well as extraordinary
profits, and the big packing houses have almost
a monopoly on the butchering. They waste
nothing. They make probably more on by
products than on the dressed meats. They put
the price as high, of course, as the trade will
stand; but there are fixed limitations on retail
prices.
The farmer certainly makes money on his
stock, and the middleman takes out his per
centage before the stock reaches the beef trust.
Then the trust wants a moiety and the butcher
must live. We contribute to the prosperity,
long life and happiness of quite a number of
families when we Fletcherize our porterhouse.
Take that home as Christmas thought.
We are not fearful of industrial concentra-
ton on closer acquaintance, if it can be regu-
lated in the interest of the public. We wish that
l.
to be killed in a municipal abattoir and ex-
amined for tuberculosis before being slaughter
ed; and we wish that all the milk sold in Padu-
cab were first assembled at central milk de-
pot to be properly tested. 1t would save much
life and heartache and civic waste.

To CONFIRM LURTON.
Effort VIII BE Made 20 Have u Done
Before Christmas.

Washington. Dec. 15.--In its wish
TO have Judge Lurton confirmed be-
fore congress adjourns for the hob
day recess. the administration has an
ally In the business necessities OF the
supreme court, which make that trib-
unals full working strength very de-
slrable.
Since last winter the court has
been short handed and with the to-
bacco trust case coming up January
3, the attendance OF every member
OF the court Is earnestly desired. The
situation contributed strongly to the
probability OF the senate confirming
Judge Lurton before the holiday ad-
journment IN order for his services
to be available for the tobacco trust
and other big cases soon TO come mp.
In the hope OF favorable report on
his nomination there will be a special
meeting Of the judiciary committee
Several members OF the committee
while not contemplating a bitter fight
on Judge Lurton's confirmation want
a delay until after the holidays.

The Magazines
For Christmas
Japan Rack OF Crane Removal.

That Mr.. Cranes recall was made
by the secretary of state out of due
consideration for the characteristic
suspicious and sensitive feelings Of
and a deep sense of profound respect
for the government of Japan. is the
assertion of Orville II. Stewart, In
the December Van NOrden Magazine.
The state department will not ad-
NIT this. the writer declares, and per
haps II is well. The government au-
thorities would no more than wills
per it among themselves. Neverthe-
less, this, the real reason, is known
TO Japan--who discovered II first OF
ALTO China and many nations OF
Europe. This does not necessarily
imply that the American govern
ment actually fears Japan. II fears
neither Japan nor any other country,
for that matter. yet a lack OF fear
does not preclude strict observance
Of all diplomatic Considerations which
might be expected by government
and people that exhale distrust and
lnhale ambitious determination.

is no accident. II is the inevitable
result of a political discomfort that is
struggling to find a voice. Mr.. Bryan
expressed it in a way; Mr.. Roosevelt
expressed Il in a way; but neither of
them ever got to the heart OF things.
Neither of them ever succeeded In
framing a clear-cut definition OF the
issue or in demonstrating his capacity
for true leadership. Each has been
a political opportunist who capital
lied popular unrest for his own politi-
cal profit without looking very far
beyond his own immediate advantage.
As the World sees Il. to find the
genesis OF this present-day discomfort
we must go back nearly 90 years,
when public opinion, inflamed by the
aggressions of great combinations of
capital, compelled the enactment OF
the sherman antitrust law.
What The country most needs po-
litically Is a new alignment OF parties
in order that they may again repre-
sent the principles and ideals of their
members; but this Is too much to
hope for at present. There are thou
sands of Republicans who are really
Democrats, and thousands of Demo-
Gratis who are really Republicans: but
they are held TO their ancient party
allegiance by habit, sentiment, tradi-
ton and prejudice. Instead of seek
ing a party that better expresses their
views, they are seeking to mould
their own party over to their chang
ing principles. and the growing spirit
of independence makes the issues
only the more confusing.
This is the situation that confronts
party leadership everywhere. in con-
gress and out OF congress. The lead
ers that try to shut their eyes to IL
must take the consequences OF their
own folly and stupidity. This Is no
struggle OF opposing organizations.
Democrat against Republican. but a
radical movement common TO both
parties.
The old battle-eries fall on deaf
ears. The old standards arouse little
enthusiasm. The old prophecies ex-
cite no reverence. A new order Is
seeking to establish itself politically.
This Is the twilight OF the gods

OPENING AN OLD BOTTLE.

No sentiment in the old man, you sayl
Well, you never can tell. Many queer look
ing old bottle is uncorked this holiday season,
and some mighty good cheer poured out of it..
Men are much like bottles The uninitiated
reach for the most attractively shaped bottles
with the elegant labels. Dispensers know it..
That kind is kept on the front shelf. Then
there are promising bottles that are opened too
soon, and the liquor is found to be raw, unpal-
atable and bad for the digestion. Still others,
poorly cOrked, sizz and simmer and their good
cheer sours and becomes rank poison. Once

But about this time of the year, you reach
away back among the forgotten bottles, that
have been standing on a shelf in dark corner
a generation or so, and take out one all covered
with dust and cobwebs. Maybe it has been
there so long the label is rubbed off. For your
life, you couldn't tell by looking at it whether
1t contains anything, so coated is it with the
CRIME around it; but you can tell by the heft
Of it.
If the cork fits in tight and the bottle is
sound, you take that one up, and rub the cob
webs and dust from around the neck so they
won't fall in the liquor when you pull the
cork. Then carefully open the bottle-youll
find those old fellows hard to open-and pour

Death Chair For Gallows.

A bill to substitute the electric chair for the
gallows in Kentucky and providing that all ex-
ecutions shall take place in the state prison at
Frankfort, instead of the county jails has been
drawn by Jailer-elect John II. Pfanz, of Louis
vile, and will be introduced at the next session
of the legislation by State Senator Herman ID.
Newcomb of Louisville.-Cadiz Record.
1t would be a good change which ought to be
made. The gallows has had its day as "A means
for the legal execution of person convicted of
crime punishable by death. There was a time
when it was the most humane method of inflict-
ing the death penalty, but it is not now. The
electric chair affords death so instantaneous
as to be painless or as near to it as it is possible
to make it. There is nothing quicker than cleo
tricty except thought-Owensboro Inquirer

THE PUBLIC FORUM.
The Twilight Of the Gods.

Not since Mr.. Cleveland's second
administration have party lines at
Washington been so broken as they
are now when the sixty-flrst congress
meets for its first regular session.
Democrats and Republicans alike
are divided. In the house, Speaker
Cannon faces an insurgent revolt;
but Champ Clark, the opposition
leader. cannot command the unani-
nous support OF the Democratic rep
resentatives. Senator Culberson has
resigned the thankless task of lead
ing the Democratic minority in the
senate. and Senator Aldrich finds his
own leadership sharply challenged by
radical senator's from the west. Re-
publican senators and representatives
can be found who are no less radical
than Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Clark, and
there are Democratic senators who
no less conservative than Mr.. Adrich
and Mr.. Cannon.
