Where pnhlioitu WAC Needed.

Had big business been under the
necessity of complying with certain
publicity laws in 1900, 1901 and
1902, the meat packers might not
now be on trial for alleged violation
of antitrust statutes, for they might
have observed the publicity laws.
They might not have entered into a
secret combine to fix and control
prices, to apportion the country in
districts and to abolish competition.
The right sort of regulations re-
curing certain amount Of publicity
of their conduct of affairs might
have saved them much annoyance
and the consumers of meat much
money. This suit in Chicago, there
fore, serves as additional emphasis, If
any we're needed, OF the Importance
of large corporations OF this charac-
ter doing in the open those things
vitality affecting the government and
the ultimate consumer.
It is astonishing what ignorance
one of the chief attorneys of
the packers displays concerning
what went on when these secret
prices and combines were being
arranged. lie can remember moth
ing about the details OF any mer-
ger or combination. He just barely
can recall that such a thing as an
association of these packers existed
and that It now and then held meet
ings, but what was done at these
meetings or even what was the name
OF this association, he is utterly un-
able to remember, even though his
own son was the secretary OF the or
ganization. The government has
sought to refresh Mr.. veeder's mind
by recalling that IL was at these
meetings OF this association that
prices of meat were fixed and plans
for destroying competition laid.
All this trouble, complicated by
treacherous memories. would have
been precluded with the right sort OF
limelight to turn on these mid
night" meetings. The country has
fiddled long enough; II is time now
for some real music.

Senatorial Perquisites.
il Senator Kenyon OF Iowa can pur-
suade a majority OF his associates to
practice economy on their own perquisites,
the United state senate will lose the
distinction OF being the finest club in
America" The senator has introduced
bill that requires senators hereafter to
pay for shaves and hair cuts. and other
tonsorial attention. Heretofore these
privileges have been extended to senators
free Of cost
The bill also abolishes the free baths
and provides that hereafter members Of
the senate shall pay for such service.
The senator from Iowa estimates that he
will save $4,000 year TO the govern
ment by requiring senators to pay for
baths and barber shop service. The SEN
ate baths have accessories for free mas
sage, and these too, will disappear II
the Kenyon bill is passed
But the senator from Iowa does not
stop with these economies. In another
bill submitted today he proposes to re-
duce the allowance for mileage from %
cents a mile to 10 cents
Since the newspapers Of the country
commenced to call attention to some of
the expenditures set out in the annual re.
port OF the secretary of the senate for
the luxury and comfort of senator's there
has been an unmistakable tendency to-
ward reform. For example, during the
extra session Of the senate last summer
the usual supply OF apollinaris lemonade
was absent. Inquiry ELECTED the fact that
the committee on rules had abolished
this comfort in the interest Of economy.
Later II was discovered that the phar-
macy maintained by the sergeant-at-Arms
had reduced its stock of headache mix
lures, duinine pills and other drugs OF
which It had carried a large stock for
many years.
Another disappointment confronted
some Of the older senators when they
dropped into the stationary room OF the
senate TO follow the annual custom Of
laying in a stock of Christmas presents
For many years the stationary room has
carried, in addition to the regular stock
OF routine supplies, paper, pencils, pens,
etc, complete line Of leather goods, in
Guiding handbags, pocketbooks, card
cases, ornamental ink stands and many
little articles that were appropriate for
presents. All supplies were offered at
actual cost, but nobody is permitted to
buy except senators and their clerks and
the officers OF the senate.

Richard Jarvis. the big. good.natured
secret service operator who accompanies
President Taft on all OF hts travels,
recently underwent an operation for APP
pendicitls. Before going on the operat-
ing table he insisted on seeing the sur
geon try his hand on another patient.
Jarvis was III and feeling bad when

answered Jarvis, and he refused to go
to the hospital.
The next morning the physician called
again. lie felt Jarvis pulse and looked
at his tongue. without word he went
to the telephone and got the Walter
Reed Hospital.
Send an ambulance and four soldiers
over here for a patient" he said to the
surgeon in charge.
AN hour later" says Jarvis, "a sol
der knocked on my door and walked in,
followed by three other soldiers. Where
are your clothes?' he asked. He packed
up my clothes. went to the hospital"

though his case goes against him and

the 1850 regular annual pay.
In the days OF Tom Reed, when con-
gress was so solidly republican you
couldn't crack 1t with an ak. Southern
men used 10 make quite a business OF
contests. For example, no less than
three contests In Mississippi were
brought TO congress at the same time.
The unfortunates would hand over 81 200

sent them before the elections committee
and take the other thousand and have

the case was decided. Congress. how
ever. shut down on this practice an hard

have been fewer and more genuine.

BIonds or Brunettes.

Blends or Brunettes.
There is no difference between blends
and brunettes. except that the former
are harder drinkers This is, In effect,
the sum and substance OF the findings
OF the military board which some time
ago undertook an investigation to de-
termlne which of these types could best
resist the hardships of a tropical CHM
ate. Some time ago, IL may be re-
called, Colonel Woodruff, OF the army
medical corps, advanced the theory that
brunettes were better protected against
a tropical climate, and especially against
the sun, than blends. An investigation
was ordered to determine the correctness
of this theory, and 1t has been found
untenable. An important finding OF the
investigators, however. is that the sick
ness which afflicted officers and men
In the earlier period of the Philippine
occupation has been almost eliminated
with improved sanitary and hygienic con-
ditions which the medical corps has been
able to procure. Some OF the experts
assert that now a residence Of five years
in the Philippines will be attended with
no untoward results IL proper precautions
against infection are observed 1t is
found that there has been more sickness
among blends. but that this is offset
by the fact that a greater number OF
brunettes have had to be invaded home.
II Is also found that blends are more
addicted to alcoholism.
