NO WAY TO STOP THIS TRUST.

For years and years the sugar
trust Is known 10 have stolen from
the government. By means OF false
weights and tricky springs to cheat
the scales, and by bribery Of govern
ment officials, this rapacious trust
diverted into It's own Golfers millions
OF dollars that should have gone to
che government in revenue. The
trust was caught red handed 10 the
thAevey, yet nobody was punished;
aobodV went to Jail.
The government finally put a stop
10 the revenue stealing. The doctor.
ed springs were taken away, and the
coTupt customs collectors we're dr.
charged. This forced the trust to
adopt new methods, In order 10 main.
tain Its inflated dividends, 90 recent
ly 1t sent out a vail shout a short
crop and now sugar prices are al
most as high as they were during. tht
civil war. The sugar trust is deter
mined to get it's.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

What becomes of all the money the
big trusts extort annually from the
American people? Everybody knows
they exact millions In tribute each
year, and a stranger from Mars, were
he to read the newspapers Of this
country, would wonder how the
trusts could get strong boxes big
enough to store away all the money
they take from the people. ~ =,
Recently an enterprishg staticis1
figured It out that American helress-
es-the majority Of whom are the
daughters Of American Trust mag.
nates-pemit their broken down ii.
tied foreign husbands 10 enjoy the
income from one and threeqmrter
billions Of dollars. .1.. o..
This money u spent by parents
In America by whom It Is earned,
would educate approximately a mil.
hon children each year. Or dt would
give employment TO two hundred
thousand American workmen at good
wages.

FOUR COMPANIES CONSOLIDATED

The public utilities commission
made an order this week permitting
the consolidation of the Stafford,
Great Bend and Larned telephone
companies with the Arkansas Valley
Telephone company. This is the frs
consolidation under the law permit
ing the commission to supervise the
deals. The valuation Of the proper
ties Of the four companies merged
was fixed at two hundred thousand
dollars and This is the limit of the
capital stock which the Arkansas Val
icy company may issue. Under a rul.
ing of the commission when compan-
les are consolidated the combined
capital cannot exceed the fair value
If the properties. The commission
gave the Arkansas Valley Telephone
company permission to issue one
hundred thousand dollars additional
capital later to carry on its extension
and Improvement work already con
templated.

THE DAY OF RECKONING.

The House of Governors appoint
ed a committee of three of it's mem
bers to argue against the Sanbou in,
terstate rate decision when the case
reaches the Supreme Court. The com
mittee was appointed because the
governors feared the rights of the
states were in danger of being violat
ed by the highest court of the land.
Each member of the supreme court
when he takes his oath, solemnly
promises ito protect the nights of
the states as well as those of the ma.
ton. Why, then, should the govern
ors be apprehensiNe? Why should
The consider it necessary to tell the
highest court what its duty IS? a
The. very fact that governors rec
ognized the necessity for such action
indicates that it isn't. really "agis
tators' and "demagogues who have
become suspicious of the Supreme
Court, and of the whole judiciary sys
tenn.

ABOUT cHINcH BUGS.

Manhattan, Sept. 25.-"Win the
chmch bugs damage the new wheat
this fall?' Farmers are asking that
question Of the agricultural college.
Wheat sOwn on corn or ON grassy or
weedy plowed land, where bugs are
now present in large numbers is very
likely to be damaged and may be de-
stnoyed, says T. ]. Headlee. state en-
tomologist. Wheat sown eanly Is In
the most danger. Corn, grass and
weeds, if allowed to grow, will keep
the bugs alive until the wheat Is larg,
enough. Under such conditions crops
have been absolutely Destroyed, says
Mr.. Headlee.
Wheat Sown in fields free from all
growth, and therefore, completely
free fnOm bugs is very likely to ex-
perience no fall INJURY. II would be
wen to avoid the buggy field unless
all vegetation can be destroyed and
the bugs killed or driven out before
wheat is sown. a..

that he will go before the grand jury
