The Milk Trust.

It was charged in New York that
there was a milk trust. 1t didn't seem
possible that a combine could be form
ed to rob the consumers of milk, so
the investigation made was watched
with keen interest. According to Bob
La Follette's weekly publication, in
which he raps trusts of all sorts lin
Guiding the political oligarchy at Wash
ington) some pretty hard jolts, it is
said the states accountant engaged in
the milk probe has reported that out
of $20,00O,000 capital of one milk COM
bine more than S15,000,000 is water,
and that the company has been able,
by charging combination prices, to pay
dividends of and 10 per cent on its
entire capitalization, and to accumu-
late in addition a surplus of nearly
100000 in 10 years.
OF the capital of another large COM
pany the accountant reports more than
three-fifths is water on which dividends
of Is per cent have been paid hereto
fore and over % per cent during the
past year. and a surplus has been &C
cumulated nearly double the capital.
The facts show how the evil of mo-
nopoly has ramified through every
channel Of trade of this country.

The Word s;lbouatt..

The little black pictures called ISL
houettes' derive their name from Ell
enne de Silhouette. who was the
French minister Of finance in 1859
His extreme economy in matters of
fnance was caricatured by all classes,
and any cheap mode or fashion was
sarcastically called by his name.
About that time these profiles were
produced by casting the shadow OF n
face on the paper by the light of a
candle and tracing about it. Because
they were cheap they were called IN
ridicule at the minister "silhouettes.
and the name has ever since been re

Unique Campaign.
sake"

One of the interesting epitomes of
the principle for which the liberals
have been fighting in the British cleo
tions is the following which was sent
out in postal card form:
81. The land comes from the hands
of the Creator, and does not owe its
existence to man.
'2 1t is limited in quantity. You
can no more add to the area of the
country than you can add cubit to
your stature.
''3. 1t is necessary for our existence;
it is necessary for our production; it
is necessary to us when we wish to
exchange our products.
"a Land does not owe it's value to
anything which its owner chooses to
spend upon it.
90. Land owes it's value entirely to
the presence and activity and expend-
iture of the community.
sc. Land cannot be carried away,
and cannot be concealed.
yet they tell us that land is the
same as any other commodity What
a terrible mess men get themselves
into when they venture to make such
an assertioni It is a hopelessly falla-
cious assertion. I say that possessing
these characteristics land is peculiar
subject for special taxation"
Some of the friends of the Lloyd
George program are now almost as
pleased with the possibility of liberal
victory. They argue that if the budget
IS defeated. the result will be to all the
more forcibly show the nation that
some radical step of this kind must be
taken. They insist, also. that the re-
action from defeat of the liberals now
will bring overwhelming victory for the
land tax principle later on.
The friends of the Lloyd-George
budget principle have at least had the
satisfaction of knowing they have stir
red not only millions of people of Great
Britain to keen interest in these prin-
ciples, but they have forcibly attracted
the attention of the civilized world.
The British campaign and election
have caused more study of economics
as applied to government than any
event in history.

are believed to be seriously impaired

iron framework, in the Champ de
Mars, Paris, for the exposition of 1889.
The general form is that OF a concave
pyramid. The base consists of four
inclined piers set at the angles OF a
square of 33G feet. The piers are con-
nected on the sides of the square by
huge arches. After rising about 600
feet the four piers are merged In one.
There are three platforms at different
heights. The top one. more than 900
feet from the ground. is surrounded
by balcony and covered with a glass
pavilion fifty-four feet square. Above
this rises the lantern, which is fitted
for scientific observations. At the top
there is also a wireless station.

Change the Rulers.

1t is more necessary to change the
rulers than to change the rules of the
house. Bad rules may, indeed, facili-
tate the passage of bad legislation, but
good rules would not insure the pas
sage of good legislation. The disease,
says Senator Gore in the National
must go farther. Let US defeat alike
those who would adopt bad rules and
enact bad laws. Let US elect for the
gid congress a majority of progressive
democrats and as many progressive re-
publicans as possible.
Speaker Cannon in the house and
Senator A1drich in the senate are, in
deed, the Apollyon in the path of pro-
gross, the chosen champions Of privi-
lege, the guiding genius Of the new
administration, the friends and favor
ties of the king, perched upon the very
arms OF the throne.
Roosevelt was able to stand alone,
to run his administration without their
overshadowing domination. He re-
garded their advice and example
rather as a warning to ehun than a
guide to follow. Mr.. Taft, it seems,
surrendered at the first summons.
Roosevelt, in his way. was the friend
OF progress and the foe OF special priv
ilege. The new president is carrying
out tho policies of the ex-president-
on a stretcher. The people may yet
prefer the strenuosity Of Roosevelt TO
the sinuosity OF Taft. They may yet
conclude that "the hands are the hands
OF Esau. but the voice is Jacobs
voice"
Nob1y as has been said, IF rumor
speaks truth, the war against progress
and the progressives is to be fought
under black flag-'obedience or the
bowstring' was the sultan's decree.
Those who bow the knee are to enjoy
the smiles of favor. Those who stand
erect are to incur the frown OF Of

Must they surrender the convictions
OF lifetime for the high privilege of
appointing a fourth class postmaster
at Skedunk or a minister plenipoten-
tiary 70 the court of Dahomey?
Rather than this, 1t seems to me,
democrats should give aid and COM

The Argus Daily Short Story
Why Love st. Valetines Day-By Arthur Gray.
Copyrighted. 1919 by Associated Literary

A hundred years ago, when there
were but a few million people in the
United States, our progenitors fell in
love in the old fashioned natural way
and, being once in love, married as a
matter of course. very few of them
considering what they would live on
in the married state. One reason for
this, or cause, whichever one chooses
to consider it,. was that they fell in
love and married young.
The reason why l appreciate st. Val
entine's day is that 1t had a great deal
to do with my present domestic happi-
ness. A valentine began it, a valen-
tine furnished means of keeping it up,
and a valentine settled it.
Ef1e Winston at seventeen was at
the exact age her mother married
married for love-married without any
provision for the future. But Mrs.
Winston married much later than a
hundred years ago, when getting liv-
ing was easier and not so much was
required. Consequently she didn't find
married life as charming as it might
have been had Effie's father had a for
tune or at least an income common
surate with the requirements of an in
creasing family. Therefore, as might
be expected, the lady did not propose
that her sons should take wives until
they could support them or that her
daughters should marry men who were
not prosperous.
This was sensible, but when sersi-
Bile idea is carried too far it ceases to
be sensible. To come to the point,
Mrs. Winston determined that her
daughter Effie, in whom l came to be
interested. should marry none other
than a rich man. l wanted Efie, and
1 hadn't a cent. Ergo, Mrs. Winston
was a very stupid and a very obsti
nate woman. This was my boyhood
reasoning. and since 1 have grown to
middle age 1 have not, in my case,
seen any reason to change it. / con-
fess. however, that my daughter Fife
shall not marry a pauper.
l made Effie's acquaintance at dane
ing school. l asked her to dance with
me twice in one Of our afternoon dane
ing school meetings. st. Valentines
day came along soon afterward, and
she sent me a valentine. This was
the beginning of it. Indeed, the pretty
little missive was my first intimation

Small Consolation.

Thomas Edison, having focused his
long distance eye on the future. comes
down out Of the tree and reports with
some excitement that he sees a pink
Utopia with blue stripes on it for the
people of the world 200 years hence.
In the year 2110 there will not be
even so much as the photograph Of
work anywhere in sight The ma
chine will feed itself raw material and
turn out garments, rocking chairs and
Christmas presents, and doubtless
there Will be an endless belt attach
ment to carry them around to the ult-
mate consumer and dump them at bis
door. He will probably have to carry
them IN the house unless he feels that
his wife needs exercise.
The trouble with these hot Utopias
is that they are so far ahead that few
now living will be around enjoying
the scenery and kicking on the weather
when they arrive. Why can't the
world speed up and hand every one
his own vine and fg tree and auto
mobile while they will do us some
good?

Would you. were YOU a speckled hen.
Co forth and freeze your feet
When Peary weather was on tap
That other folks might eat?
Or would you hunt tie tallest perch
And say: "Ah. lackadayi
If you'll excuse my classic slang.
This is no time TO layr'
Just like the warbler on the stage
Who at the public sings.
A hen may. too. have temperament
And moods and all those things.
And for her reputation. too.
She may he some regard
When she's Ware she can't compete
With snowbalIs In the yard.
Then let US calmly bide our time

But meanwhile saving here and there
A dollar or a dime
In hopes that we viii have enough
To buy an egg some timo.
