Plutarch

Mr.. Plutarch was one of the best
known writer's of his day. He is
said to have written more lives than
Murat Halstead did, but this state
man cannot be proven successfully.
Plutarch was the Ebert Hubbard
of his time, however. He would
ostensibly write the biography of
some famous Grecian, but this he
would contrast unfavorably with the
life of one Of his own countrymen.
His little visits to the homes of great
men were among the sellers in his
day and age.
When he was in his prime his
country was flooded with book agents
who worked by the Sheldon method
of craftsmanship. Plutarch kept a
flock Of geese to furnish quilts for
him.
Today his Lives are fixture in
every library. One would as soon
think of emitting the shelves as to
omit "Pultarch's Lives" and Dante's
Inferno" or Milton's Paradise
Lost" The latter are nice books
for a library; they look intellectual
and they are the dispair of elocution-
lists.
Plutarch could have found lots of
material today. He would have
been good editor for the Congress-
ional Directory.-Chicago Post.

sue that the state will not be adj
mitted until along in January next

OF course, it just happened that

forth!
Incidently --accide ntly--or prov
identially for the republicans
fact well understood and carefully
considered in Washington was also
communicated to Phoenix and stares
out of the situation like a red-eyed
wolf!
United States senators are divided
into three classes as nearly equal in
numbers as possible. One class goes
out of office every two years. At
present there are 90 senator's 81 in
the class expiring in 1918, 81 in the
the class expiring in 1916 and 30 in
the class expiring in 1917.
When New Mexico sends in two
senator's, making 81 in all, they will
be assigned to the 1915 and 1917
classes, and so get terms of four and
six years. respectively.
Therefore. when Arizona's sena-
tors appear upon the senate floor,
making SO senators in all, or 80 to
each Class, the only terms left to
them will be those expiring in 1918
and 1916 giving one year to one
senator and five years to the other!

FOOLS THE BOYS

Last Sunday evening one of the
boys concocted scheme to have
some fun with several of the local
Washers. He dressed up as girl and
made his appearance on the street
shortly after dusk. He was soon
accosted by lady killer, dressed in
his Sunday best, and accepted an
invitation for a buggy ride, with ice
cream sodas and chocolates on the

resulted in the denoument and the

Boys that were boys are now grown

Girls that were girls, 80 full Of fun,
They scarcely knew when their

Always happy Ind always gay.
Their hair once black, is now turned
grey.
The wedding cake was pretty and
sweet. | declare,

President Taft wants to wait for
tariff revision upon the Tariff Board.
He didn't wait on it for a report on
reciprocity. Nor when he said the
wool tariff was indefensible. Nor
when he vetoed the farmers free

SEPTEMBER 20. 1911.
HOW 1T IS DONE

The sugar trust is on to its job,
as usual, and the dear people are
finding out lately what this great
unlawful combination can do when
it wants money to pay the fines i'm
posed by the government for crook
edness, or rather its practise Of
criminal methods. that should have
put its directors in the penitentiary
for good long terms, something that
will never be accomplished until the
people secure an honest judiciary
through the recall.
The following dispatch from New
York, dated September 9th, tells
the story:
"All grades of refined sugar were
advanced ten cents a hundred
pounds today"
This follows closely on the heels
of three other advances since We'd
nesday, aggregating As cents hun
dred for three days. The price
quoted to jobbers last, by the sugar
trust, is $6.9Sa. The price to re-
tailers is $7.O5.
The American Sugar Refining Co.,
known as the sugar trust, has made
added profits Of approximately &c.
600. 900 since July 9th when its eleven
directors began to steadily increase
the price Of sugar. Since that time
nineteen advances have been made,
aggregating $3.50 hundred pounds
over the price Of .$5.lSa hundred
on July 9th.
It is a coincidence that the sugar
fruits has recently completed pay
ments to the United States govern.
ment of approximately s3,993, 486
in fines and restitution for the
drawback" funds and for acknowl-
edged cheating of the government
by means of crooked scales on ship
ping docks. The trust also was put
to considerable expense in defending
criminal actions filed by the govern
ment against its officials on fraud
charges. The added profits received
from the consumers of sugar in the
last two months will more than make
up these items.
Are you on? The government
gets next to the sugar trusts crook
ed work and prosecutes it. The
prosecution results in the conviction
Of the trust, but instead of impos-
ing Jail sentences, the court imposes
q fine, which the trust pays. Then
it pays back to itself the fine by
raising the price OF sugar sufficient
ly to give an amount twice the size
Of the fine.
In other words, the sugar trust
robs the people in the first place,
and robs the people again by raising
the price Of sugar to pay the fines
imposed by the government and a
handsome margin of several million
dollars left. Jail sentences would
put stop to this kind of robbery,
and when the people secure unto
themselves the means of placing
honest judges on the bench, then,
and then only, will the crimes of
the sugar trust, the oil trust and all
the other unlawful combinations get
their just deserts. In the mean
time the people will continue to pay
the fines Of these high class thieves.

Some spots of mud were on their

And on their rear some more;
A row of fringe adorned each leg.

And patch Of sundry colors
Was sewed upon the seat.

In a gorgeous dry-goods store,
The salesman was a sporty chap
And spouted words galore;
He said the goods were extra blue,
Their texture hard to beat,
And when he tied them up there
was
No patch upon the seat.
Recollect the chap who wore 'em,
too,
Long years before this day,
A somewhat foreign-looking guy,
Who helped us make our hay.
And when he donned those panta-
looms
He thought them very neat,
But that was long before there was
A patch upon the seat.

And prod those goods so fraii.

And a fall of ELEVEN feet,
But of all the worst disaster
Was the rip across the seat.

With that sundry colored skein,
And though he put them on again
They never seemed the same,
And when some smaidens called one
day.
Bill made a swift retreat,
Which movement showed In has

The patch upon the seat.
And when he left. he bought us

Some presents--toys and balls,

MAUI BETTER

Dr. ]. S. B. Pratt, acting president
of the board of health, returned from
Maui yesterday morning, where he
learnt that the two fresh cases OF sick
ness were scarlet fever, one having
broken out at Paia and the other at
Peahi
DR.. Pratt does not think that there
is any likelihood of fresh outbreaks,
but the cleaning-up campaign is to be
continued, Mr.. Charlock, who accom-
panied DR.. Pratt on the trip to Maui,
will remain there for a few days in
order to superintend the operations.
AS a result of the outbreaks, many
old places have been pulled down and
burnt. The removal of these dirty
old buildings will do much to keep the
districts in a sanitary condition. The
work of disinfecting, however, will
still go on, and new system of ms
pection win be instituted. The in
habitants will be watched more close
II than heretofore, and it is hoped
that the precautions to be taken will
preclude absolutely the possibility of
another outbreak of any epidemic.
