All the milk of human kind

roborating this contention was
given at Union Station in ST.
Louis the other day. A poor
man travelling in company with
his wife and their five children
was relating, to one of the station
police that he had been robbed
of all his money while asleep in

Your Uncle Samuel refuses to

undertaken to try the issue as

legal department Of the govern

Of this trust under the Sherman
law for its dissolution. This. af-

President Taft boldly says
that since we have statute for
the restraint of the trusts, the
trusts shall be restrained. Very
good, but We also still have the
laws that protect the rights of
private property. which allow
the citizen to do with what is his
own as he pleases. The physi-
cal property of the trusts is pri-
vate property, as much so when
owned collectively by a number
of shareholders as though it
were owned entirely by an in
dividual holder, Any attempt
on the part of the government to
interfere with this right of pri-
vate property would be cOntisca-
tory, revolutionary and altogeth-
er socialistic. The supreme
has the constitutional check for
anything along that line SO.
although the trusts may be re
strained" it is our opinion they
will continue to control their
private property pretty much as
of yore, unless we are really be-
coming socialitic and are about
to exchange private ownership
of the highly organized and trusc-
flied industries for collective
ownership by the people, even if
it necessitates including the
recall of the supreme judges.

The Democratic papers are
still prating of the awful reg
tration frauds" committed by
the Republican party in ST,
Louis last year They contend
that 1900 negroes were Illegal
ly registered in that city pre-
vious to the election of 1910.
which is about as near the truth
as our Democratic friends get
in their efforts to create senti-
ment in support Of their attempt
to steal three state offices by
contest from the Republicans
The actual facts are. that the
whole negro registration in St.
Louis in 1910 was only about
Is. ZOO, or about half the mum ber
that the Democrats say were
registered fraudulently. Most
of these negro voters are known
to the registration officers of
their respective wards, and sev-
eral hundred Of them are known
to vote the Democratic ticket
these Democratic negro voters
are honest, of course; only those
who voted the Republican ticket
are ''black rascals.' What the
Democrats of this state will do
to the negro vote. if their party
party should be restored to full
power next year, is clearly fore
shadowed in their assault upon
the negro registration in St,
Louis. Complete disfranchise-
ment is what would be in store
for the colOred voter.

gress in this district, stated that
ex-Congressman NJ. +. Rhodes
was looking over the field as well

we desire to say that Washington

didate for the Republican NOM
ination for Congress in this dis
trict, and that candidate will be
Mr.. S. G. Nipper, as stated IN
these columns heretofore, and
every Republican in Washington

port him. Mr.. Nipper has done
valuable service for the Republi-
can party in this district for sev-
eral campaigns, and we have no
doubt that his many friends in
all parts of the district will be
glad to see him announce his
candidacy for the nomination for
Congress. Mr.. Rhodes is not a
candidate and will not be.

Tungsten A Remarkable Mineral.

The mineral tungsten (the
name meaning heavy stone, has
been known for many years, but
only comparatively recently has
it become of economic import
ance. The most important use,
according to Frank L. Hess, of
he United States Geological
Survey, and the one who makes
tungsten mining on an extensive
scale possible, is an alloy for
tool steel. LatheS using tools
made from tungsten steel may
be Speeded up until the chips
leaving the tool are so hot that
they turn blue, an operation
which would ruin the temper of
high carbon steel. It is stated
that about five times as much
can be done with lathes built for
such speed and work as can be
done by the same lathes with
carbon -steeltoOls. From 16 to 70
per cent Of tungsten is ordinarily
used In lath tools. The melting
point IS exceedingly high-5.27e
degrees Fahrenheit.
Tungsten also has an import
ant use in making incandescent
electric lamps, crucibles for elec-
tTlc furnaces, and various other
articles.

How To Keep A Hero

No young lady ever lost her
Hero because her hands happen
ed to be little calloused from
welding the broom or stained
from dipping them in the dish
water, says an exchange. No
girl ever fell down an iota in the
estimation of Her Hero because
she stayed at home all afternoon
and helped her mother with the
work. instead of coming down
town and putting on a parade of
eight miles. No girl ever lost
Her Hero because she made life
more pleasant for dad and
smoOthed the wrinkles from his
brow and caused him to look
forward to the evening at home
with pleasure. No girl ever lost
Her Hero because she wasn't
apt at using all the latest and
most popular slang of the day.
No girl ever lost Her Hero be-
cause she was rafting good
cook, swell house keeper and a
stemwinder to work.
If she did lose Her Hero be-
cause Of any of those things she
should thank her lucky stars. He
was in disguise. Instead of Her
Hero, he was a common. cheap
old tinhorn sport and she had
better be a kitchen queen for
dad and mother than a broken
hearted drudge of slave for
such brainless bat a single day.
Just because girl arrives at
gray hairs and faded cheeks in
single blessedness is no sign she
didn't have "a chance. MoreI
likely it is because she keptl
posted on market values and re-
fused to sell her heart and hap
piness for mess of pOttage.
