Asks Why Steel Case Suit
Was Not Criminal.

LINCOLN, Nebraska, Nov. A.
William J. Bryan demands criminal
prosecution of the trusts and calls
cn President Taft to start some
thing" In the CommOner yesterday Mr..
Bryan places the following open letter
before the President:
M: President-Why do you begin
a suit of equity instead of criminal
prosecution against the officials OF the
steel trust? In your attorney-generaIs s
yetition thc defendants are charged
with violation Of criminal statute,
Why do you hesitate to ask for a con
viction and imprisonment? Is it be-
cause the antitrust law is now worth
less as a criminal statute, since the
supreme court has. by judicial legis-
lation, put he word unreasonable
into it? Or is it because you are
afraid tc punish big criminals as Sc
verify as you do little criminals?
You ask ne to name Il trust thar
cannot be punished under the present
law. ! name three: the Standard
Oil trust, the tobacco trust aHd the
steel trust, and | cali you as a witness
to prove that the law as amended by
your judges, IS worthless as a Grim

YOU prefer to take the position that
big criminals should not be sent to
the penitentiary? Explain why YOU

number of States affected.

in legislation in eight states. Import

Mining Communities

The current issue of the Mining
World magazine, published in Chi
cage, contains an editorial which
reads, in part, as follows:
Large mining companies of the
United States, especially those en-
gagged in the production of metal
bearing ores. are demonstrating
that their interest in the welfare of
their employees does not cease when
the men leave the company's prem
ises after their days work is done.
1t is being recognized more and
more that the mems home and
social life has a marked influence
over their efficiency as employees.
In most industries other than
mining, employees reside in estab-
1ished communities, the inhabitants
of which obtain their livelihood in
various and diverse lines of work,
and no one company or industry
feels the responsibility for the well

County Schools

Friday was the last day of school
in many country districts where the
school year is of but eight months.
About so schools in St. Louis
county closed until next fall.
In many of the sparsely settled
districts the pupils are so few and
the financial condition of the
parents is such that it amounts to
something of a hardship to have to
pay the salary of a teacher for eight
months. A man prominent IN
school affairs makes the statement
that were it not for the state bonus
that goes to rural schools, there
would be a large number of them
that would be in session only six
months in the year. The bonus
averages about $3.50 per school for
the year or enough to pay the salary
of teacher for two months.
County Superintendent N. A.
Young and Lewis A. Ink have
recently been visiting the country
districts and by the time all in the
county close for the wear they will
have visited almost everyone.
Some have been reached by long
drives and cross country walks and
in other cases by canoe and row
boat. The trips of the superin-
tendents on their annual or semi
annual visits have to be made in
the fall, winter and spring, when
the roads are in poor conditions.
