EXPRESS COMPANIES DENY
THEY CONSTITUTE A TRUST

James Manihan a lawyer from Mime
apolis. opposed the combined legal forces
of the American. the United States and
the Wells Fargo Express companies In
proceeding against the companies be-
fore the interstate commerce commission.
The hearing was before Frank Lyons an
examiner for the commission, at No. Ga
Wall street The complainant was State
Senator B. l.. Sundbere Of Kennedy,
MINI.
The senator received at his farm near
Minneapolis n casting for farm imnle-
ment The casting was worth about So
and the senator got bin for $36 for
and lodged a complaint He charged
that the American. the United states,
the Adams and the Wells Fargo arc not
competing in the strict sense of the word.
and that under a working agreement
they have raised rates and maintained
them at an eXorbtant level
While, the formal charge relates solely
to the rate charged. the senator's lawyer
intended to find out all he could about
the alleged combination OF the express
companies, II was this phase OF the In
quiry to which the companies lawyers
objected. and In most instances they
were sustained by the referee.
Il. I. Platt treasurer OF the United
States Express company; Chauncey \;
Crosby, vice president secretary and
general manager OF the same company,
and James +, Fargo, treasurer OF the
American Express company, were the
witnesses examined. y question by
salary brought n volley OF objections from
the United States company's lawyers,
What Is the purpose OF the ques-
tion?' asked Referee Lyon.
II want to show" replied the Minnie
apoIls attorney. 'that every officer OF the
United States Express company Is get
up enormous revenues in huge salaries.
Why. the salary list of this company is
thirty times as great as that of the Great
Northern company.

shot out this question:
Your company ,ras paid out a good
deal OF money for campaign purposes

Plat. family.
'Or for lohbying?"
Il certainly have no knowledge OF
such third"
In reply to another storm Of objections,
Mr.. Manihan said: Il mean TO prove by
press companv spends large sums annu-
ally resisting unfavorable legislation I'm
the various states. Now | ask you. Mr.:
Platt. II the company does not pay out
large sums for this purpose?
II decline To answer Oh advice of coun-
sell" said Mr.. Platt. and the referee
sustained the objection.
Plat said the United States company
now has twelve shares of stock In the
Wells Fargo company.
Does the United States Express COM
pany hold any Adams or American EN-
press company stock?'
No" replied the witness.
Mr.. Fargo testified that the American
Express company had sold the stock II
owned In the United States Express COM
pany to Frank III, Patt. Mr.. Manihan
tried toi show that the American kept It's
enormous assets for the purpose of ac-
quiring an interest in transportation
and then compelling them to
make lucrative contracts with the OK
press companies. The line of objections
also was blocked with objections.

$50, while Ham received but Is
majority. Reeder used to live in
Mitchell county and has always
been strong there. Stubbs car
ried Mitchell by 213, while Ham
had but IA majority. White will
undoubtedly receive a big vote
in Jewell county, but Reeder
will run second. In Mitchell

Hits Most of Us.

When [ was a kid we used to
play ball a great deal and [ re-
member that there were several
of US who would not play unless
we could be the pitcher. Since |
have grown up [ find that many
of US have not got over the habit
If we can't be the whole works,
we won't play. 1t crops out in
church, in the lodge, in politics
and in public enterprises.
AS long as we can run and boss
things, we still stay in the game.
When some other fellow gets
hold of the lines, its different.
The trouble is, too many of us
i'm agine we are out for generals,
when our Lord intended US to be
privates. Some time the wrong
man gets to be a general, but it
rarely occurs that the wrong
man is private. In every town
you will find men sulking in their
tents, like Achilles of old. But
just inquire into the thing and
you will find out their grievance
is because they cannot run every
thing. The only consolation sui
kers get is seeing some other
fellow take his place and do work
little better than he could.
Don't be a sulker. If you can't
pitch, get out and play right field
and if you can't do that, carry
bats. If you are the best pitcher
in town the people will soon find
it out and you won't lave to
carry bats any longer. Caldwell

The prediction is freely made
that in a three cornered fight in
the Sixth district Congressman
Reeder will be renominated. So
far, no figures have been produc-
ed to show why this would be
the case An analysis of the fig
ures of the primary of 1908 be-
tween Reeder and Ham may Of
fer some enlightenment In
that contest Reeder received q
511 votes and Ham 1925, a ma
jority of 1856 for Reeder Ham
received a majority of 598 in his
home county of Rocks, while
Reeder's biggest majority was
also in his home county of Phil
lips, 232. Reeder carried fifteen
and Ham seven of the twenty
two counties of the district. The
Reederites CLAIM that in the east
ern end of the district, where
the populous counties are locat-
ed, hundreds of Democrats call
ed for Republican ballots just to
vote for Ham. In Osborne coun-
ty alone but 119 democrat votes
were cast at the primary, while
at the November election the
figures jumped up to LILO. But
that condition need not be taken

of present conditions. The Off

No Use for a Gutter.

For concentrated wisdom and
truth it would be a difficult mat
ter to improve on the following
editorial from the Tribune pub
lished at Sycamore, Ills. The
world has little use for a gutter
the fellow who starts out and
backs out because the creek is
mp: the fellow who starts to trim
the hedge, blisters his hands and
decides to let it 81 until spring;
the boy who goes racing through
his school books until he strikes
principles and compound frac-
tions, then wants to quit school
to get a job; the girl who starts
to be a great musician and learns
just enough to play rag time to
beguile the fancies of some young
Sap-head. There is big family
of these cutters. but they are
sorry lot. They never want a
job that takes time and patience.
With the qualifications of bill
poster they would like to earn
the salary of a railroad president.
Their ideal is a job that requires
two hours of easy labor a day
with the Saturday and holidays
off. You will find them scattered
up and down the road of human
failure, turning back from the
handle of the pillow, complaining
of their lot and of the world.
They are clogs in the wheels.
broken rails in the road, time
killers, forever wanting what
they have not. The people who
accomplish things in this world
qualify themselves in spite of
bad crops, high water and meas
les: who have hung unto their
work until failure turns to vic
tors; whose courage rises as the
difficulties thicken: and whose
faces are forever turning to-
wards the rising sun. 1t is not
a bad plan, that of the Indians
throwing their boys into the
river, where they either had to
swim or drown. The best thing
any parent can do for child is
to compel him to finish what he
has undertaken. Keep him at it,
no matter how much he cries
and objects; make him do the
thing he starts to do. And the
very best thing boy or girl can
do is to do this very thing with
out being made to do it. Success
is a good deal like a habit. There
is not much difference between
failure and success. One quits
