The Express Monopoly.

Senator Tom PIatt's death has been
followed by an advance in United
States Express stock. Possibly the
shareholders are looking for the "cut-
ting of a melon" Two other express
companies have recently distributed
vast amounts of undivided profits, and
it would be very singular if the United
States Express were not as profitable
as its colleagues-we will not say COM
petitors, because the various concerns
own stock in each other until there
is no competition. The country is
parceled out between them, and they
have some way of making exceedingly
favorable contracts with the railroads
The minority in the United States
Express have been trying for years
to get at the books and to have a
meeting of shareholders called, but it
has been impossible to get two-thirds
Of the stock to call a meeting, and it
is said that none has been called in
more than 40 years 1t is about the
closest of all close corporations.

Jabez Chute Nudge was his name.
Considering that he was the homeliest
man In his state it would seem that
his parents might have helped him to
a more millihuous pair OF surnames.
Mr.. Nudge, however, came of good
enough stock, was fairly we'll edu-
Gated and was the possessor Of a
couple of thousand dollars a year. He
lived on his own place, where he grew
grapes, his only occupation. If he
had had anything else to do this story
would never have been written, for
nine-tenths Of his time was devoted to
incidents recounted therein.
On a neighboring hill lived Leonidas
Meredith, gentleman whose name
was as euphonius as Mr.. Mudge's was
discordant- Mr. Meredith possessed a
daughter. Leita. who was as comedy
as Mr.. Nudge was homely. This story
recounts the wooing Of Leita Meredith
by Chute Nudge.
When Nudge first saw Miss Mere
dith and how he happened to fall in
love with her doesn't matter. His first
move in the direction of possessing her
was made one morning when her ia
Their was getting into his carriage to
drive to a train on his daily journey
to the city. Nudge stepped up to him
and astonished him by asking for the
hand of his daughter
MY daughter exclaimed the gen.
tleman. opening his eyes very wide.
YES. Mt. Meredith; have loved her

which might be harmful to the party;
that failure to probe the 100000
custom house frauds in New York
may leave tho impression on the pub
lie mind that the sugar trust was able
TO avoid investigation simply because
1t had contributed freely of its stolen
millions to republican campaign funds.
>Furthermore, the republicans fear that
the fact that Henry w. Taft repre-
sented the sugar trust in one of the
most important suits that it was ever
forced to defend, and that he is de-
clared to have received from the trust
one OF the largest fees ever paid In
the United States for legal services,
might be connected in the minds or
extreme partisans with the action Of
the president in making a request in
message to congress that the under
weighing frauds be not investigated.
The most partisan democrat, however,
has never in any manner charged, nor
do they believe, that the president
would knowingly take any step to pro-
tect the heads of the sugar trust if he
thought them guilty. They maintain.
however, that the fact that the names
of the presidents brother and his at
torney general have been brought intS.
the controversy is a strong argument
why Mr.. Taft should withdraw further
opposition to congressional probe of
the sugar trust scandal. The situation
in regard to the holding up of q sugar
trust probe is something like the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy. The presi-
dents bitterest enemies do not for a
single moment question his motives
or good faith. They unhesitatingly
state the belief that Mr.. Taft made a
mistake in relying upon Ballinger in
stead of Pinchot, and that he is max
ing another mistake by relying wholly
upon partisan republicans for advice
in the sugar controversy.
President Taft is undoubtedly get
ting much blame that he does not de-
serve, in connection with the sugar
scandal gossip, and which he could
have avoided by allowing resolutions
introduced in congress providing for
an investigation TO have run their
natural course without executive op-
position.

Douglas Concentrates Foss.

1t appears that Ex-Governor William
L. Douglas sent a congratulatory mes
sage to Eugene N. Fess on his cleo
ton in the Fourteenth district, even
though the former governors private
secretary was the victim of that hap
pening. Whiting from Miami, Fla,
last week, Mr. Douglas said:
Il congratulate you upon your cleo
ton. You have accomplished a most
wonderful feat, which must BE- regard
ed as almosa political miracle. Your
election to congress from the Four
teenth district, which was overwhelm-
ingly republican, is a sledge hammer
blow against unwarranted and extreme
protection, which has made it possible
for great trusts to organize for the
purpose of controlling the food prod
ucts of the country, thus preventing
fair competition and enhancing the
cost of living
The democratic state committee,
having in view the fall campaign,

expressions with lively gratitude.
