in the closing days of the SiXty-first

him in voting for the ratification or
the Arizona constitution.
While Bailey was a member of the
house and for some years after he
had been elected to the senate he re-

later acquired the habit
One peculiar thing about Bailey's
record is that he has never been the
author of q great piece of legislation
or even of a great and lasting amend
ment to a memorable piece of legisla-
ton. This is remarkable when II Is
remembered how often and at what
length he has debated great bills. In
fact, he introduced very few bills of
public character while in the senate.
Nevertheless he will be missed.
Senator Bailey was born in Copiah
county, Miss. on Oct. @, 1868. and was
admitted to the bar just twenty years
later. He served as a district elector
on the Cleveland and Hendricks ticket
In 1884. In 1885 he removed to Texas

state at large on the Democratic tick

Steel Trust to Divide Into Three Com
panies-Pan of Harvester Combine
Is to Split Into the Four Original
Companies.

Following conferences in which j. Z.
Morgan, Jacob ii. Schiff, George w.
Perkins and Ebert II. Gary took part,
it was announced that the steel trust
and the harvester trust would like to
avoid federal prosecution by dissolv-
ing
The steel trust is said to be prac-
tically ready now TO break up, but the
tive until the next meeting of the di-
rectors. which is set for Oct. 81 in
Chicago.
The dissolution plans tacitly agreed
on are as follows:
The United States Steel corporation
the steel trusts to separate into
three companies. one controlling the
steelmaking business, another the rail
road and boat lines and the third ore
lands
The government insists that the en-
tire steel trade be given a right to BY
ore on the same terms as the United.
States Steel corporation and that the
railroads transport all character of
merchandise. including steel products,
without any discrimination whatever
in favor of the United States Steel cor
poration. 1t is said that this plan has
been very reluctantly accepted by the
directors of the United States Steel
corporation.
As to the International Harvester
company-the harve ter trust-the pro-
gram is for il TO split up into the orig
inal four corporations-th Mccormick
Harvesting Machine company, the
Deering Harvester company. the Mil
waukee Harvester company and the
Plano Manufacturing company.
They were joined in 1902 In New
Jersey with $1200C0,000 capital, OF

Following its acquisition of the four
companies the corporation took over
works and mills at Akron, o.; Rock
Falls, H.; Newark Valley, n. Y; Au-
burn, n. Y; st. Paul and Chicago.
The United States Steel corporation,
with 81, lO0.OOO.O00 capital, controls less
than 80 per cent or the steel business
of the country, according to its own
claims. Ii, however, controls prac-
tically 70 per cent OF the steel ore re-
naming in the United States, and II
is said that both the Stanley committee
and the attorney general regard this as
the greatest menace 10 the steel indus
fry of the country.
The United States Steel corporation
owns in the United States railroad
mileage of 0fS miles. with 10 miles OF
branches and spurs and 020 miles of
sldings. Its railroads have 1,lOS loco
motives and 47,025 freight cars. Its

- ENAToR JOSEPH W. BAILEY
OF Texas, who will retire at
~ the close of his present term,
March 3, 1913, has been in the
foremost ranks of the Democratic
party for fifteen years. He first en-

More recently his influence suffered
because of his enthusiastic espousal

an uncle to the deceased, which was re-
plete with beautiful thoughts and illus

of man and his spiritual relation to the
Infinite. His application of wireless
telegraphy, the messages sent out from
God to man, which are lost to majority
OF men because through sin they fail to
catch the message, was beautiful in the
extreme. The speakers reference to the
family was touching and appropo, for
such an occasion and also, mans respon-
sibility to his God. The feeling, refer
ence to Frank not being in the casket,
only the mortal FROM which the real and
indestructible man had been separated
by the transition that mortals call death.
and the real man not being dead but
but alive and with the Father who gave
the life which is eternal, gives glori-
Gus hope to mankind.
The sermon was departure from the
usual expressions on such occasions,
and gave hope and comfort to the rela
tives and friends of the departed, who
although absent mortally, is still with
us in memory and will not be forgotten.
After the sermon, the Masons, the de-

read its burial service for the departed

the Immortality of man and the burial
honors were given the departed brother.

Condition Should be Changed

Members OF the Watertown-Portage
Branch of Railway Mail Clerks met in
quarterly meeting in the Masonic Tenn
pie, Tuesday evening, Dec. 5. A good
ly number were present and the discus
sions were of sufficient Importance to
keep them busy until midnight. The
scope of the talk covered wide range
of technical character with NJ O. Gray
and E. B. Shanks of Portage, acting
president and secretary respectively.
Formerly, that is, two or three years
ago, these meetings were rather tame
affairs, frequently a mere handful of
men would gather every three months
to comply with the requirements of the
constitution, have good meal and
smoke at the expense of the association
and 60 home. But of late, in fact since
the "slack' order of Postmaster General
Hitchcock has been tried on the men,
considerable lively action is noticeable.
Petitions, remonstrances and various
other forms of protests have been SUBJ
mitted to their immediate superiors
with no apparent success, except in so
far, that it has stopped further curtail-
ing of expenses on the main lines.
The story of the turmoil is long one
and cannot be taken up at this time,
but some time during the winter, the
writer will endeavor to give detailed
account of the parsimonious character
of the officials at the head of the great
est department in the government. An
inkling to the situation can be gathered
by relating one contention and that is,
the amount of unworked mail that is
being taken to the terminous owing to
the lack of sufficient number of clerks
naming the different trains passing
through our city. Cities and towns
along this main line of road, do not suf-
fer to any noticeable extent, but patrons
in the states of Washington, Montana,
North and South Dakota, and Minnesota
have frequently had their mails delayed
usually, anyw h ere from "a

certain months of the year, as many
as 800 sacks of papers and 80 pouchs
of letter mail have found a resting
place in the Minneapolis postoffice m1-
til bunch of tired postal clerks could
be rounded up to complete the distribti-
ton and all this without extra compen-
sation. Every pouch of letter mail con-
tains on the average fully 5000 letters
and the sacks of papers in the neigh
borhood of 500 pieces. With little null
DUPLICATION, an idea can be gained of the
injustice and poor services the people
in the states named above are receiving.
The progressive element of the clerks
are trying to remedy this by constant
agitation and wide publicity, thereby
gaining the support of the public and
eventual action on the part of Congress
and the support Of our citizens is So
licited in behalf of the clerks.
