 You men can all go to h-l. I'd like to see this nigger hung as much as you would. but you fellers are not going to hang him."
 Although the mob was infuriated to a high pitch and although Fowler's tone and words were not calculated to pour oil on troubled waters, the men stood there quietly, although armed with shotguns and pistols, and after time dispersed. The negro was hanged the next afternoon. but 1t was only after he was tried at spe- cial term of the district court con- vened by the district judge and legal ly convicted

BARTENDER AS AN AUTOCRAT
In the Philippines the Drink Mixer Is Parsonage of Some Con-
 sequence.

In the olden days, the city of the Don. every merchant in the islands was at times his own money maker. If he was short of cash to meet a pressing demand, he simply sent his "chit" Gan American expression) :, called in Spanish a vale, which was nothing more nor less than penciled I. O. U.. to his neighbor for any sum from one peso up into the thousands. However, much to our discredit, Americans as a rule so much abused the "chit" system that this crude form of currency is now rarely accepted, excepting at bars and restaurants Re- ferring to barrooms, one naturally re- calls the American bartender as he Is in the islands. There he is very much an autocrat: and like the Span iard. he will not wet or soil his jew eled hands. An unsavory calling here at home, it Is a dignified one in Ma nila There the barkeeper sits in front of the bar bedecked usually in spotless white from head to foot. with a diamond or two of awkward size glittering above his cravat.

SECRETARY WILSON SAYS FAULT
Is IN TRUSTS AND LOCAL
COMBINES.
EXACT UNDUE PROFITS
HINTS AT SENSATIONAL iNDicT-
MENT OF THE MEN WHO
ARE RESPONSIBLE.

Washington.-"It's the trusts and
the measly little combination in every
town and city in the United States
that keeps the price OF food SO high,
declared Secretary Wilson of the De-
partment Of Agriculture when asked
by the district committee of the house
to put his finger on the men respons-
ible for the present high price of food
stuffs.
The secretary declared that the
dealers in every city are organized
and that they take from so to rs per
cent. as their profit after the meat
comes through several hands from the
farmer to them. Shreveport and Mo-
bile. he declared. top the list. demand
ing 60 per cent profit. while many
cities take only Is per cent.
New York and Philadelphia mer-
chants are Statistic !. he declared. with
20 per cent, while the merchants of
the national capital take 42 per cent.
Some of the statements relating to
the food situation made to the COM
mittee by Secretary Wilson were:
I'VE have been conducting an ex-
haustive inquiry and are still working.
We have found that the farmer does
not get any more for his two-year-old
steer than he did twelve years ago.
Il haven't the facts at hand, but am
gathering them, and expect to show
that the food products Of the Ameri-
can farmer are being sold cheaper in
foreign countries than they are in the
United States.
Fewer farmers are feeding their
grain this winter than for years be-
cause they got their fingers burned
last year feeding 60-cent grain to q
steer that they could not get return
out Of.
Until comparatively recently the
American people enjoyed the cheap
tinued Wilson. But one of the rea-
sons why meat is SO high is because
there are not enough people farming
profitably in America; they are not
making an acre produce enough; they
are not getting enough out of days
work.
"The worst farming in this country
is done east of the Allegheny noun
tains and agricultural land is cheapest
in that locality. In consequence"
continued Secretary Wilson, "the boys
have left the farm and the scarcity of
labor is now the greatest concern of
the agriculturalist."
The secretary went into the high
prices of food exhaustively and indi-
Gated his department would shortly
make public sensational indictment
Of the very men who are responsible
for the enormous increase in prices.
In the old countries of the world
this has been done for hundreds of
years. Why could it not be done here?
You have the power to summon wit
nesses and compel their attendance.
Find out. You have a great opportu-
nifty before you. This should teach all
American cities how to govern them
selves. l believe the situation here in
the capital is typical of the situation
in every city in America"
Wilson analyses the situation on the
| American farm as badly in need of
betterment. I'VE can't import farm
laborers from the old country because
| 1t is against the law. The farmer
cannot get help at any price. In the
| corn belt three-fourths of the fodder
| is going to waste because labor cannot
be obtained to put it up for feeding"

In the twentieth century The bulls have been sub

fights and gambling. LOTTERIES they conduct in the

in name-though that time looks far off at present.

Noah Webster (author of Webster's

Halleys comet is now nearer to the or
