railroad yards by two men, who asked

them the money, whereupon they
knocked him down, robbed him and

Mccain recovered consciousness

horrible predicament Weakened
from loss Of blood and the effects Of
the beating he had received, he was
scarcely able to move.
He shouted in frenzy, but In the roar
Of the oncoming train none heard.
Feebly he lifted his arms and waved
them, but In the darkness Of the rail-
road yards none saw. lie tried to ig-

his arms sank to his side-weakness

lied to be sold under the school land

Legislature to make an appropriation
to cover the expenses of the appraise-
ment 1t is estimated that it will cost
$125,O0 to appraise this land.
The school land lessees' Organiza-

and lend it to the state If the school
land commissioners will feel at liberty
to accept the offer. The only possible
way the land could be sold before an

land office, which is entirely under
their control. Some of the comms-
sioners also have expressed opposi-
tion to this plan. The law does not
become effective until June 8.

THERE IS 40 ALTERNATIVE.

IIR ate few days ago Senator Cummus ra.,
I'M voice to the conviction that either free au,

right to fix the price on an trasl-controca products
Other statesmen have expressed the same belief, while
the trust heads themselves the sclfsamc that sD
Indignantly rcpccd the idea OF government super
vision few years ago, not only endorse that view
but are at this moment udusriousy seeking TO bring
about governmental control OF the prices Of products
In order escape the awful alternative Of free and
fair competition
1t is the deliberate Judgment Of the world that
Senator Cummns should have offered alternative
that hc should have declared that free and fair COM
petition must be restored and stopped there. For no
more serious mistake is possible than for the law
makers to place in the hands Of the government the
discretionary power Of fixing prices for the trusts ia
The belief that they are working a real reform.
Such power must of necessity be discretionary,
because II is utterly impossible to fix by q hard and
fast law the price of any commodity, The govern
mental agency that win De clothed with the authority
to nx these prices Jc human Just as the private
individual that now fixes the prices. And as between
the discretionary Of the government agent with
responsibility and the discretionary power Of the
private individual with the responsibility attaching
to him, we prefer the private individual eyerytime.
Loot n you please how the discretionary powers
of the government are exercised now. Is It not a
