Whether the ultimate limit Of the
"refundings" of stolen money by the
sugar trust proves to be 5000, 900 or
$S,500,000 Is Of comparatively small
importance. The trust is too rich to
feel the difference seriously. and the
government does business on so vast
a scale that the treasury will not be
much affected, one way or the other.
The main thing to be kept in mind
is the evidence which every dollar
Of plumber thus disgorged affords that
the American Sugar Refining company
confesses w~ide-reaching and shame
less thieving. It is not a case Of "dif'
fculty in adapting established bust.
ness customs to new standards Of pub
lie ethics" or Of artificial criminality
created to meet the demands Of popu
lar clamor." There IL no room fol
question as to the nature of the trans
actions from any point of view, ethical
or legal. The whole case IL plain
vulgar stealing.
There is nc fraud older than cheat
ing in weights and measures. There
are few forms Of thieving as NEAR
and contemplate. The sugar trust ha,
ben caught doing exactly that kind o.
stealing, on a wide scale and fol
many years in succession. The coun
try will not forget this revelation of
criminal trusts methods.

President Goes to Top of Monument

and then said to Secretary Norton, II
think we'll ride up, Norton" 1t was
MIR. Taft's first visit to the top of the
monument, although he had lived in
Washington than ten years.
The president walked to each OF the
windows in turn. 1T must be fine up
here on a clear day" he said, as he
turned away at last to enter the ele-
vator on the trip down. At the en-
trance to the shaft the president
paused a minute undecided. and then
went away.
The witness with the green macaw
feather exclaimed: "Oh, John, dear.
I'm glad we've seen the president, but
we mustn't miss the view. Well 70
up again tomorrow"
The president strolled to the senate
wing of the capitol. The elevator man
took him down In the basement and

With only a few weeks remaining Of
the present session Of congress. which
marks the end Of Republican control
for at least two years, It looks as II 1t
were going to be. in effect, a do-noth-
ing congress. just as the political man
ayers predicted. With each day the
chances grow less for the legislation
that was demanded at the polls and
for the program that the president
submitted for congressional considera-
ton. Thus personal ~selnshness and
party policy absorb the attention Of
our statesmen. and they fail to give
the business Of the state precedence
over the ambitions Of men," This has
always been NOR or less SO. and prob
ably always will be more or less SO;
but It must be much less so In the
near future or there will be subse.
quent effects which no statesmanlike
explanatory eloQuence can prevent.
Statesmen have been In the habit Of
running the country as they please,
The demand now is that the country
be run as the people please.-New

One cannot tell what force IL going

story may be told. or pretty we'll fore
told. by the conventions and the gen

CHANGES IN THE SENATE
Recent Happenings Seem to Promise
Body More Responsive to
Popular Opinion.

The death Of Senator Elkins further
reduces the Republican control Of the
senate. not only in numbers but In
influence. The West Virginia senator,
the Unexpectedly sudden fatal termina-
ton Of whose illness shocked his col.
leagues, had had a picturesque career,
and during his service In the senate
had been . powerful factor In the
framing of legislation. especially that
dealing with the railroads and the
tariff. The landslide which restored
the Mountain state to the Democratic
column had already made certain the
retirement Of the other Republican
senator. Nathan Bay Scott. and the
Republicans there now find themselves
doubly stricken by the assurance Of
the election Of another Democrat in
place Of Senator Elkins.
The long list Of veterans who have
retired or have been retired by polit.
ical reverses or death within the past
year or two leaves few of the old
guard in the senate. Aldrich, Hale.
Burrows, Carter, Dolliver, Flint, Kean.
Depew, Dick, Scott, and now Elkins,
on the Republican side. Daniels. Nc
Emery. Clay and McLaurin ON the
Democratic. Their successors. so far
as indicated, are az q rule men Of
whom little ID known outside Of their
states. as Johnston IN Maine and Pom
creme IN Ohio. The effect Of these
changes upon the senate and upon the
popular attitude toward that body
must be interesting. The retirement
of senators who held their places by
dominance OF state organizations. and
through that control. Of state legisla'
lures, and the election OF new man
without the authority. and influence o.
the old-timers. coming at a time wher
the demand for popular election II
sweeping to the front. should mean .
senate more responsive to popular
opinion. Then, too, the narrow bal
ance Of power in the chamber itseli
must be an even more powerful factor
to that end.

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land Of cot.
ton of the results of a four years use
Of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since l can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. 1t had
. more or less injurious effect upon
rs all, and l myself suffered almost
death from Indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.
Il know 1t was that, because when
would leave it off for a few days I
would feel better. But 1t was hard to
give it up, even though l realized how
harmful 1t was to me.
AT last l found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago / abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and l also In
fiuenced the rest of the family to do
The same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink 1t freely as they do
water. And 1t has done us all great
good.
Il no longer suffer from indigestion.

LINCOLN ACADEMY GRADUATION
Hundred and Fifty students Enrol
and Nine Graduate.


and Mine Graduate.
LINCOLN, June 5.-(Special. 1.-The an
nual commencement Of Lincoln academy
was held at the First Congregational
church, Lincoln, Saturday evening. The ad-
dress upon Some Elements OF Successful
Living" was delivered by the principal
elect, Or. Ernest A. Baloh. The lines of
thought presented In the address were:
First Having q Definite Purpose in
LIFE" second, Making Use of the Mar
gins Of Life" and, third, Adjustment of
Life TO Its Material Equipment, SO as to
Develop the Highest Type Of Manhood"
The meeting was presided over by Prin-
cipal l., M. oberkotter. who has accepted
for the coming year the superintendency
of the public schools at Madison. Diplomas
were given to nine graduates.
The last year has been a very successful
one, there having been an enrolment Of
about $50 students. The prospects for the
coming year are very good. The school is
q fitting school for the State university
being on the approved list Of high schools
both of the State university and of the
North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools. 1t is especially
equipped to meet the needs of students who
have graduated from ten or eleven-grade
nigh schools and need additional work to
enter the university and OF those who
come from schools without university ac-
creditment- Inasmuch as the academy
graduates classes twice each year a grad
uate from an eleven-grade high school
can attend there for one semester and then
enter the university conditioned in only two
studies, which can be worked off in con-
nection with his regular university work.
The new principal is a man Of consider
able experience, having graduated from
kalamazoo college in 1888, receiving his
masters degree from the University of
Michigan in 1850 and his Phi. d. from the
University Of Chicago in 1898. His range of
experience lie from village school to uni
versity. The last year he was head master
Of the Nebraska military academy and was
instrumental in materially improving the
scholastic tone and efficiency OF that in
stitution,
