time since the trust question has been
acute, the House of Representatives,
has an antitrust majority.
The result is that the big commit
tees are manned by men who are free
to 60 ahead and investigate and if the
evidence warrants, to take the proper
steps toward bringing about the prose-
cution of illegal combinations in ex-
istance in restraint of trade.
For the first time in a good many
years the Capitol of the United States
will be the scene of honest investiga-
tons of the big industrial trusts.
Heretofore it has been impossible
for the government to control the
trusts because the trusts controlled
the government. Now it is to be de-
termined whether the government of
the people or special privilege shall
occupy the saddle.

Austin Wins Suit for Subscription

A decision in the case of O. D.
Austin VS.. Chas. Burge, was handed
down in the Kansas City Court of
Appeals Monday reversing the de-
cision of the circuit court and remand
ing the case for new trial. The opin-
ion was written by Judge Ellison.
The case grew out of an attempt
made by Mr.. Austin, publisher of the
Bates County Record, to collect bill
which he alleged Mr.. Burpe owed for
several years subscription to his
paper. Mr.. Burge commended that he
had ordered the paper stopped but
took it from the post -eeffffice. Conn

City Journal says:
Taking the paper out Of the post
office makes the recipient liable for
the bill. O. D. Austin, a Butler, NO.,
publisher, sent his paper to Charles
Burge. The latter paid for it twice
and then refused to pay again. He
said he had ordered it stopped. But
the Court of Appeals holds that mere
acceptance Of the paper created a
liability. 1t adds:

however, do nothing but grumble
and oppose, apparently incapable Of
understanding that the public cannot
be deceived by unintelligent partisan
action, which has no higher purpose
than that of public deception in the
interest Of political organization al
ready in public disfavor.
Inconsistent Action.
Most of the Republican members of
the House of Representatives who
voted against reciprocity sought to
defend their votes by declaring the
measure was against the best inter-
ests of the farmers, and that as they
prided themselves upon being friends
of the farmers at every turn in the
road, they could not bring themselves
to vote for the reciprocity BILL.
Then came the farmers free list
bill, which untaxed agricultural i i'm
plements and nearly everything the
farmer uses. Here was a golden op-
portunity for the friends of the far
mers.
But, 10 and behold, when it came
time to vote, 100 Republicans who
had been SO loud in procaiming their
affection for the farmers, voted
against the farmers free list BILL
A remarkable. vote for the United
States Senate was recorded when the
resolution to bring about the direct
election Of senator's was made the un-
finished business and thereby given
precedence over all other measures.
Sixty-five senator's voted on the side
of the general proposition to five
against. Every Democrat and every
progressive Republican present voted
in the Affirmative. This does not
mean that the fight over direct elec-
lions has been won outright But it
does mean that the great majority of
the tory senators have learned that
they cannot persistently resist public
sentiment and hope TO retain their
eeats. No ono believes that the great
majority 0f tory senatoFs who voted

What Free List Bill Is.

Upon close view, the farmers"
free list bill becomes mighty inter-
esting measure. It INTAKES many
articles the farmers use, but it means
about as much to all other consumers.
It puts 100 articles of common use on
the free list and it is estimated that it
will save the buying public some
100000. The measure won't hit the
revenues hard, either. The tariff is
nearly prohibitive on the 100 articles
concerned, so that the custom houses
get only 81, SOC, 600 from this source.
Republicans Forlorn.
Dismayed at the reverses sustained
the last election, discouraged over the
outlook for the future, and realizing
that they can take no stand against
the progressive Democratic legisla-
ton that win be backed up by popu-
lar sentiment, the Republican minor
ity insthe House Of Representatives
presents sorry spectacle.
