THE PASSING OF SENATOR
ELKINS

BY the death of Senator Stephen B.
Elkins, of West Virginia, which oc-
Cured at Washington Thursday night,
another national figure passes into
history.
Geniality and practicability were
the predominating traits in Senator
Elkins' character. He seldom was
without a smile, and his prevailing
manner was courteous and sympa-
thetic. A man of vast affairs outside
the senate, and responsible there for
important legislation, he always had
time to give attention to the wants of
his constituents or his friends.
During q large part of his service in
the senate Mr.. Elkins was chairman
Of the important committee on inter
state commerce. AS head of this com
mittee, he had charge of the Hepburn
rate regulation bill of 1907 and of the
administration bill of 1910.
A railroad builder and owner him
self, Mr.. Elkins had intimate knowl-
. edge Of all questions affected by this
legislation.
He wal the outspoken champion Of
the bill of 1910 and as such fought for
its passage night and day for months
Probably thelongest speech ever de-
livered by the West Virginia senator
was made in it's support.
He was one of the first movers for
an investigation into the high cost of
living, which was inaugurated in the
second session Of the Sixty-frst con-
gress, and when the controlling pow
ers in the senate decreed he should
not be chairman of the special com
mittee appointed. to make the inquiry,
he was deeply chagrined.
He aspired to a place on the commit
tee on finance and his failure to at
tain that position probably was the
greatest disappointment of his sena
torial career.
The committee on finance deals with
the tariff and Mr.. Elkins made oper
protest against the action of the sen
ate in overlooking the Republicans OF
the south in filing the committee.
Among the achievements standing tx
Senator Elkins' credit is the passage
of the Elkins nti-rebate bill soon af
ter he entered the senate, Legislation
providing for many important improve
ments of the Ohio, Kanawha and Big
Sandy rivers; innumerable materia
amendments to the railroad bills OF
1907 and 1910 and many notifications
of the tariff. He was the first to sug
gest the use Of army engineers il
building the Panama canal.
Mr.. Elkins was born in Ohio il
1S4l. While still very young he went
with his fathers family to Missouri
He Was one Of the first graduates from
the University of Missouri and al
early as 1864 went to New Mexico
where he lived for several years, be
coming in succession encouragement
United States district attorney, terri
torial senator and delegate to congress-
from that territory.

Over Tubercuiin Test Law.

Madison.-Dr. A. H. Hartwig of
Watertown has resigned as state vet
erinarian, following a hearing before
the governor, on charges preferred
against him by the live stock sani-
tary board. The substance of the

PROPOSE MAKING TEST CASE
PRISONERS Taken From Ashland to

Ashland.-The United States gov

state courts here against two Indians,
members of the Bad river tribe at
Odanah, who had been arrested by

Since the Indians were arrested
TWO months ago, the United States

to make test cases, and establish the
right of the Indians to hunt and fish
on their own reservations. The state
game warden has been insistent that
the state laws should cover Indian
reservations and his deputies were

PACKERS CASE UP
TO SUPREME COURT
Stay Sought to Postpone Criminal
Trial-"light of Reason"
Invoked.

Washington. = Accusing the in
dicted meat packers of dilatory tao
tics, the government attorneys urged
the Supreme court of the United States
not to issue a stay order delaying the
trial set before Judge Carpenter
in Chicago. A brief signed by Attor-
Gey General Wickersham and William
R. Harr assistant attorney general,
setting forth the governments posi-
ton was filed with the court following
the filing of a brief by counsel for the
packers.
John S. Miller and Levy Mayer ap-
peared for the beef barons. They re-
Quested such stay as will postpone
the trial, and urged the court to pass
upon the constitutionality of the penal
clause of the Sherman act before the
case Isl heard.
In the motion made by Messrs Mil
Ter and Mayer the future of all Grim
inal prosecutions brought under the
Sherman antitrust statute are placed
in jeopardy. The petitioners declare
the law to be void. They assert the
federal district court has no pow
er to try them, and say they are being
detained without authority of law
They aver the Sherman act does not
create or define any offense or crime
The light or reason" as outlined
in the Standard Oil and Tobacco de-
cisions, is invoked by counsel for the
meat packers. They allege that off,
GERS of corporations are now in per-
petual jeopardy, subject to the shift
ing views of different juries. with
the shadow of the penitentiary for
ever over them
The declared intention of Presiden
Taft to prosecute the trusts is cited
by the packers as an additional rea-
son why the criminal sections of the
Sherman law should be given an early
Interpretation.
Solicitor General Lehman an
nounced that objections would be Of
fered by the government to the peti.
ton of the packers

STATE STRONG BOX BULGES
Unexpected Receipts Bring Million
More Than Wisconsin Treasury
Held Year Ago.

Madison.-State Treasurer Dahl
reported to Gov. McGovern that at
the opening of business on Dec. l
there was $2,596, 62S19 in the state
treasury. Of that amount $2,146,-
9O1.39 was in the general fund. Spe-
cial appropriations by the Legislature
and current expenses of the state
government come out of the general
fund. The big balance in the gen
eral fund is largely due to the fact
that the revenues from inheritance
taxes, settlement of back tax suits
against the railroads and other
sources were larger than was ex-
pected. The balance in the state
treasury on Dec. 1, 1910, was ST.
5O3,392.62, or $1,093,235.57 less
than that of this year The balance
in the general fund on Dec /, 1910,
was 1912, 726.G1, or $1,234,17
less than that of this year The
cash on hand in the treasury on Dec
L, 1911, was s26,252.S1, the remain
der of the funds being out at inter-
est in various banks

NOT MISLEADING TO ANYONE
Ithaca Boy Decided to Omit the Year
in Stamping the Stale
Eggs.

Assemblyman Brennan, author Of
the Brennan cold-storage law, was
talking in Albany about dealer who
objected to the labelling Of cold-5tor-
age products.
This mans objection to the words
'cold-storage' on cold-storage goods"
said Mr. Brennan, recall wildly to
my mind an Ithaca boy.
"The boy had gone in for chicken
raising, and had done well. He pos
sessed an egg-dating stamp. You could
always tell, when you bought an egg
from him, whether it would be best to
eat it soft boiled or to use it as a
political missile.
But the football season came on,
eggs got high and scarce, and the boy
began to waver IN his virtue.
"And one day, while he was stiI wa
vering he found under hedge a
whole nestful of eggs. He took them
home and showed them to his mother.
81 don't know what to date thcm.'
he said doubtfully.
Well, break one, said his mother.
That VIII give you some idea of their
date
so the boy broke one of the eggs,
and the odor was as though a sewer
had burst
LETS see,' said his mother. This
is November 10. Date them Novem-
Der 10, 1870
But the boy, as he got out his egg
dating machine, answered:
No; they might have been laid
in 1909 or even in 1908. I'll just date
them November 10, without the year.
Then I'll mislead nobody"

Clothes and The Sun.

Study of animals seems to show that
near the equator is needed the kind
of clothing that will keep the sun
from the body, while in colder coun-
tries the body needs clothing which
does not tend to keep SO much sun
out. In hot climates the natives seek
the shade and stop work during the
heat of the day, and animals also keep
under cover; even the monkeys, at
home in the tropics, goes into the
depths of the forest, where the sun
hottest rays cannot penetrate to any
extent. DR.. Aron states that the mon.
key, native of the tropics, is worse
hurt by the suns rays than any other
animal, not excluding the white mar
himself.

LESS CHEESE is NOW MADE

Price, Declaration of Prominent
Oairyman at Sheboygan.

Sheboygan.-"Not half the cheese
is being manufactured this fall that
was made year ago." declared A. D..
De Land, leading local cheese
dealer. 1.-THE reason is the high
price of feeds. Farmers simply will
not buy them and consequently the
milk yield is much decreased. Bran
is selling at SGT and $2S a ton,
whereas last year the price was $40.
Prices are now up quarter to a half
cent over two weeks ago, but this
price is one and a half cents below
last year The cheese dealers have
very small stocks on hand compared
