Idle Laborers in Mil Section,

e. s. Moore, travelling representa-

in Bryan today and called on The
Eagle. Mr.. Moore has recently been
in Beaumont and other places in the
lumber district and says there are
hundreds of idle people there on ac-
count of the shutting down of the big
saw mills. He believes our farmers
who are so greatly in need of cotton
pickers and other labor could get all
the hands they want by making a trip
over there. The Eagle believes the
matter is worth investigating.

AL MORROW.

w. A. "Al" Morrow died at the
Madison Hotel last Wednesday nigh
as the result of a stroke of apoplexy
Mr.. Morrow, at the time of his death,
was connected with the State Treas
ury Department, and bore the unique
distinction of having served as conf
dental secretary to four governors OF
the state, Stone, Stevens, Dockery
and Folk. He possessed large ac-
quaintance throughout the state and
many prominent men called CAP
Morrow, friend, with pride. Gener-
Gus to a fault, true to his friends, ex-
tending to every worthy man his out
stretched hand in token of good will,
his CHEEKY smile will be sadly missed
about the capital. Missouri is the
poorer in losing a true and faithful
servant and all mankind has lost a
cheering, helpful friend.

BY Clyde H Tavenner
Washington, D. c., Dec. 28.-Hav
ing struck a trail leading to the from
door of the house of John D. Rookie
feller, and other trails leading to th'
doorsteps of other millionaire trus
magnates, the steel trust investiga
ting committee of the House of Rep
resentatives has been summary
commanded by Wall Street to bring
its probe to a halt.
The Stanley committe is in poses
sion of evidence sufficient to convic
the Steel Trust of obtaining rebates
or preferential divisions of rates
which amount to rebates, from the
railroads amounting to millions o1
dollars. The evidence has not be-
come public for the reason that that the the
committee has not had time to reach,
in public hearings, this feature of the
trusts wrongdoings.
"This investigation must be stop.
ped!" is the command that went
out of Wall Street several weeks
ago. "Set up the plea that the inves-
tigation ought not proceed because
Mr.. Wickersham has already started
suit against the corporation" The
steel trust attorneys carried the ulti-
matum to the committee in Washing
ton.
But Chairman Stanley stands firm
for a continuation of the investiga-
ton. "If," says Mr.. Stanley, ''the
Steel Corporation has not violated the
law, then it will welcome this oppor-
tunity to demonstrate its obedience to
the law in advance of litigation
which will take years to determine,
and if it has violated the law it will
use all its power and all its immense
wealth to silence a committee which
can neither be cajoled, deceived nor
corrupted"

country? Such a limited system
would help rather than injure tht
business of the retailers. Think i
over"
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sions report shows that the net in
come from the express companies
operation is $1,000, ono, and on theil
own valuation of $27, ZOO, 600, their
profit is shown to be approximately
40 per cent. II is known that the
actual value of the express compa.
MES equipment is less than one-halt
of what they allege, so that their
profits on money actually invested
run up to nearly 100 per cent.
Economy of Production"
Tainted news articles are being
sent out from Washington to the ef-
feet that if the steel trust is forced to
dissolve it will be too bad for the poor
consumers, for they will henceforth
be deprived of the ECONOMY of pro-
dutction" resulting from the one man
management of the steel business of
the country. The literature goes on
to say that great saving in the cost
of manufacture has been effected BY
the scientific systemization of steel
by the trust.
The fact is, however, that the pres
ent prices of tin plate, wire and wire
products, are from 10 to so per cent
higher than the prices that prevailed
before the formation of the tin plate
and wire trusts in 1893. As a result
of the economy of production"
which accompanied the birth of the
barb wire trust, the price of that
article jumped from 81. so per hundred
pounds, in 1888, to $4.13 in 1899.
The present price is sos, and the
quality mnch inferior to that turned
out before the trust was formed. :.
The steel rail pool has maintained
the price of steel rails rigidly at $28 a
ton every day since the steel corpora
ton was formed. Previously, steel
rails were selling we'll below $40
a, ton.
The rule has been that prices have
advanced rapidly when trusts were
formed, If, as the steel trust litera-
ture alleges, there were great "econ-
omies" of production, the same has
gone to pay dividends of highly
watered stock, to effect heavy con-
tributions to Republican campaign |

Mr.. Clark had just arrived at th
Capitol City preparatory to openin
the first regular session of the Sixty
Second Congress, and discussed tn
political situation optimistically and a
considerable length.
Looking back at the recent elec

this case, victory"
To Prevent Wastefulness.
Democratic leaders in the House of
Representatives are planning to give
a great deal of attention during this
session of Congress to the appropria.
ton bills. 1t is by demonstrating
their ability to spend Uncle Sans
money wisely that the Democrats
hope to establish their claim for
greater recognition next year, and if
there is one thing upon which there
is no division of opinion, among the
House majority leaders, it is the de-
termination to make the coming ses-
sion memorable for its business.like
administration Of the vast government
machinery.
That the Republican cabinet men,
bers realize that there will be no
chance for unmerited expenditures is
indicated by the fact that the greatest
care is being given to the preparation

OF raising funds already is under way
in all the big cities Of the country.
Just how the money will be used

been made clear. In Philadelphia
the funds, as soon as they are COL

How Long?
How long must the people con-

that is not invested in the express
business, and that exists in blue air

This is a question that the people
desire answered, and one that they
are beginning to become impatient
about, judging from the ever-increas-
ing number of communications on
this subject that are being received
by members of Congress.

~ was the last half Of the eleventh
ana the shades of night were fall
ing fast. Six games Of the worlds
series had been played, and the is
sue was still a. stake. Fifty thousand
half frantic fans swayed uneasily IN
the gr8ndstand and bleachers OF the
Polo grounds. COOgan's Bluff was like
a great hornets nest which had been
disturbed, and the viaduct trembled
under the weight Of thousands Of spec
tatOrs pressed 20 deep along the north
ern fOotpath and flowing over into the
roadway.
Roofs of buildings and idle cars on
the elevated structure threatened TO col
lapse under the weight of humanity
and hundreds, daring the deadly third
rail or a sheer drop to the stone pave
ment below, stood along the edges Of
the tracks. More than 1OO, 0CO men,
women and children who had fought
vainly for admission to the grounds
watched and waited breathlessly out
side the enclosure for news Of the mo-
mentous contest and readily risked
their lives to obtain a single glance Of
a green corner Of the field OF battle or
glimpse Of one Of the modern gladi-
ators.

There was a fellow named Mcclure
who never has been heard Of In the
major leagues, or the minors either,
for that matter, who made the great
est play ever saw.
7 have watched Clarke and Leach
and Wagner and Miller and all the
great players around the circuit play.
but I don't think any one Of them
could have thought quickly enough or
worked quickly enough to pull OF the
play Mcclure did The play he made
required a lot Of fast work
The game was played at Leesburg{
Ohio. IN q game against Highland
and I happened TO be pitching for
Leesburg, although my own team was
st HIIlsboEo. Leesburg and High
land are only a short distance apart
and there IS great rivalry between the.
teams. In fact every time I was en-
ployed to pitch over n that district It
looked q two to one bet the game
would end IN a fight We played or a.
partially inolosed pasture field With
small stand, and the hat usually was.
passed to collect the admission price.
believe each team had won two.
games that season and they were to-
play Of the championship Of Lees.
Creek township. Now right on the left
field foul line there was a small barn.
The foul line cut ten feet from the
corner Of the barn and Mcclure was
the left fielder. We came down to
the ninth inning with the score tied
and the crowd going crazy, and then
Leesburg scored a run, making the
count 4 70 g, and We seemed to have
It won. I was going along easily, and
with two out thought the game was
about over and handed up e soft one
that the Highland batter slammed to
center for a single. That walked me
up and started to pitch just as hard
as I could. You know If a fellow loafs
for a minute or two IN a ball game
and gets himself into trouble the
chances are when he tries to pull out
he'll only make the matter worse.
Well, put everything had on
curve ball and sent It cracking around
the plate, and one Of those big High
land county farmers hit shat BAH
over third base so fast the dust was
all I could see. The ball, hit fair,
swung onto foul ground and went into
the door Of that little barn ten feet
from the foul line Mcclure was
