THERE are three industries, or
trusts, outside of transportation, that
need the attention of congress. viz:
the sugar refners, cotton manufacture
ers, and manufacturers of woolen
stuifs Each is protected by an al
most prohibi,ive tariff and each is
thereby given the Opportunity to put
the price of the finished product to
the consumer at all the traffic will
bear. These things the people must
have at any cost aud the trusts put
the price up way beyond reason. The
price paid the producer seems to bear
no relation whatever to the price ask
ed of the consumer. In the case OF
the textile manufacturers, especially
there is no such thing as the law of
supply and demand, except the sup
ply as controlled by themselves. II
is given out as reason for the low
price OF wool, some five cents under
last year. that nearly the entire crop
of 1909 is still in the warehouses
Practically the same thing can be
said of cotton. In March of this year
nearly every warehouse from Mem,
phis to New Oreleans was full Of cot
ton, And to the ordinary man there

A CARGO of 1000 carcasses of pork
recently arrived at Seattle from China
and was disposed of to retailers at
3 to 5 cents per pound less than Am.
erican packers asked for dress
ed pork in the same city, The quail
ity of the pork was in every way
equal to our best. It is said the cost
of transportation from China to Sc
attic is even less than the price from
the Twin Cities to Seattle by rail.
In this, as in almost all necessities of
life, it is not the price paid to the
producer that governs the price re-
quired of the consumer.

IT is reported that Sioux Falls is to
have the third daily paper, and that
ii is to he under the editorial guidance
of Geo w. Egan. If this be true it
is an indication that Egan contem
plates getting into the campaign two
years hence. And, by the way, Egan
is liable to be factor in that cam.
paign. 1t is true, we believe, that a
part of his vote this year came from
democrats who went into the republi-
can primary, but allowing reason
able deduction for such votes and you
still leave Egan with an astonishingly
large vote. He is taking the wise
course now, abiding by the primary
result, and that will put him in a
stronger position than ever, if he does
not "slop over" on something else in
the next eighteen months. We do
not say that Egan can win the gov
ernorship two years hence, but it is our
opinion that he will be a factor that
must be reckoned with, and it will be
no child's play either.

The drouth of 1910 has by no means
been confined to the Northwest. From
the Gulf of Mexico north into the
Canadian wheat fields there has been
much less rainfall than usual, and in
some places practically none. As
early as the first part OF March the
drouth was felt in Louisiana almost
on the shores of the gulf At Ham
mond, La, no rain fell for two months
from the first week in March, a time
of the year when heavy and frequent
rains are the rule. The central por-
tion of the United States from north
to South has experienced the drouth.
Eastern Minnesota and Wisconsin
seem to have been affected the most
of any of the northern states, unless
it may be North Dakota. 1t has been
a season when crops were spotted,
good aud bad in the same locality,
showing that the method of farming
has something to do in raising crops.

seems to be no necessity for an in
vestigation as to the difference in the
cost of manufacturing between this
country and abroad when wool sells
at seventeen cents from the producer
and has to be bought back by the
consumer at anywhere from Sl.00 to
$500 per yard for about two pounds
of the raw material.

SOCIETY YOUTH
Held FOR THEFT
Thomas R. Wilson, Son of For
mer Mayor OF Belfast, Ire=
land, Under Arrest

Thomas f. Wilson, son of former
mayor of Belfast, Ireland, now dead, is.
according to the police and special of
ficers of the Pacific telephone and tele-
graph company, a petty thief Accord
ing to people who know him here, he
is of irreproachable character and the
last person to commit a crime.
Complaints had been made to the
telephone company that telephone boxes
had been opened and their contents
stolen. One of the boxes rified on Sun
day night was at Graney's billiard par
lors. 92S Market street. The police say
that Wilson was seen entering the tea
covery was made that the box was
rifled. Suspicion fell upon him and it
was decided to lay trap for him. The
following night marked coins were put
in the telephone box and Wilson was
seen to enter the booth. Detective
Frank McGrayan and Special Officers
Mahany and Mcguire of the telephone
company were on watch and they
searched Wilson after he came out of
the booth, and found, they say, the
ma rked coins on him. Wilson was
taken to the city prison and yesterday
he was booked on a charge of burg
larry.
Special Off1cers Mahany and Mcguire
say that Wilson came from Canada in
1906 and secured employment with the
telephone company as an installer. He
worked about three years and was dis
charged, according to the officers.
Wilson has mixed in society dircles
here. He has a brother in Berkeley.
another in Mill Valley and another in
Spokane. He denied taking money
from the telephone box at Graney's or
anywhere else. Attorney Osgood Put
nam said that Wilson held two prom
issory notes, each for $500, given by
two of his clients who died, and when
he represented to him that the widows
were poor and unable to pay the notes
Wilson tore them up. He could not
believe that Wilson would commit any
offense and was sure he had a clean
character. Wilson lived at Sutter and
Polk streets. 1t is said he got $4,000
from his fathers estate and loaned the
half of it as already stated and lost the
other half buying stocks He is 27
years of age.
