SEES A PROSPEROUS YEAR
Charles M. schwab Returns From Eu'
rope in Optimistic Mood over
Business Outlook.

New York.-Charles M. Schwab re-
turned on the Mauretania Friday from
his midwinter vacation in Europe a
more pronounced optimist as to the
worldwide business outlook for the
year than he was when he left New
York three months ago.
every sign points to an unusually
prosperous year, not only in the
United States, but throughout the
world" said Mr Schwab. 1.-THE de-
preston that to greater or less ex-
tent extended around the world fol-
lowing our big panic of 1907, appears
to have been replaced by a vigor of
confidence and activity that augurs
we'll. Business in all lines Is boom
ing, and in nothing more than in steel
and iron. We could have no better
sign than this"

DESTROYER IS LAUNCHED
New War Vessel Christened by Sister
Of the Young Hero Whose
Name 1t Bears.

Newport News, Va Christened
by Miss Eleanor r. Monaghan, a
sister of the man after whom it Is
named, the torpedo boat destroyer
Monaghan slipped down the ways at
the government shipyard, amid the
f1uttering of flags, shrieking Of whis-
ties and cheers of little knot
of prominent men and women assem-
bled to witness the event. The new
boat glided gracefully out upon the
waters of the Chesapeake, and was
caught by a government tug and tow
ed to an anchorage to await compile
ton.
The christening of the destroyer is
another tribute to the memory Of En-
sign John Robert Monaghan, the Spo-
kane boy who sacrificed his life de-
Tending his wounded officer in April,
1899. Young Monaghan, together with
Lieut.. Phillip V. Landale and a de-
tachment of SO men, was sent ashore
on the island of Upolu, Samoa. Here
they were set upon by natives and
several of the force cut off from re-
treat, among them Monaghan and
Lansdale. Desperate attempts were
made to succor the little band, but the
natives successfully repulsed the res
cuing party and at last all were cut
down but Monaghan and his superior
officer. Then Lansdale fell wounded.
and, though he might have prolonged
his life by retreat, young Monaghan
elected to stand by his officer, and
died in the heroic performance Of his
duty. His action was lauded by his
commander, Captain White of Phila-
delphia, and monument to his mem
ory. which stands today in a public
thoroughfare of Spokane, was erected
by the citizens of his native state.

FEDERAL POST FOR GILBERT
Former State Attorney General to Be-
Internal Revenue Collector in
Second Wisconsin District.

Washington, D. C.-The appoint
ment of Frank L. Gilbert to be in
ternal revenue collector for the Sec,
ond district of Wisconsin is an"
nounced here.
Mr.. Gilbert served as attorney gen
eral of Wisconsin for four years, re-
firing last January. Previous to that
he had been district attorney in Dane
county. Last summer he made an
unsuccessful run against John NJ. Mel
son for the nomination for congress-
man in the Second Wisconsin district.
His nomination is something of sur
prise as former Gov. Davidson and
Frank Bentley, the present incum-
bent, had been mentioned as more
probable appointees.

TRUST IS HARD HIT
COLD STORAGE COMBINE LOSES
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
BUTTER AND EGGS.
PRICES DECLINE so PER CENT.
Herbert A. Emerson, Chicago Packer
Declares Economy of Housewives
Figure Largely In Causing Values
to Decline.

Chicago-Herbert A. Emerson,
president of the United States Pack
ing company Of this city, who will
testify before the subcommittee OF the
state senate committee on live stock
and dairying, in statement SUNDAY
declared that millions of pounds or
butter and $4,000 cases Of eggs in cold
storage which are usually consumed
before February /, remain unsold this
year.
Mr.. Emerson in simplifying his state
ment said that the cold storage trust
has lost millions of dollars within the
last two months through the smashing
of the cold storage corner on eggs and
butter.
Consumers throughout the country
will be greatly pleased to know that
the butter and egg trust which mas
had such a firm grip on the threats or
consumers and producers alike for the
last five years, has at last met its Wa
terloo, and this has been brought
about through the publicity given the
operations of the trust by the press,
said Mr. Emerson.
There are today in storage in the
United States In the warehouses which
report to the association known as
the American Warehousemen's associ-
alton, approximately 30,000,00O pounds
Of butter, and in the warehouses which
do not report to the American Ware
housemen's association an equal
amount, or about 6O,0O0,000 pounds of
surplus frozen butter taken away from
the consumers throughout the last II
months.
"It was held with the expectation of
making the consumer pay approximate
Iy 40 cents to As cents per pound for
this butter for which the producers re-
ceive only about 20 cents per pound,
| and in paying the producer for his
butter it Is bought in the form Of what
Is known as butter fat-in other
words, they buy the cream separated
from the milk and the trust concerns
| operating creameries figure on what
is known as an overrun of from 80
to 35 per cent.
Nearly year ago the press began
to call attention to the operations of
the butter and egg trust and the result
| has been that the housewife has kept
close watch on her bills and has econo-
mized whenever opportunity presented
itself. The result is at present the
finest creamery butter can be bought
throughout the United States at from
q cents to % cents per pound"

GEN. BRAGG HAS BIRTHDAY
Veteran Commander of the Famous
''Iron Brigade" Celebrates His
Elghty-Fourth Anniversary.

Fond du Lac.-Gen. Edward &
Bragg, the famous fighting COM
mander of the Iron brigade, on Feb
ruary 20 celebrated his Saith birth
day anniversary. In honor of the
occasion many of his war comrades
and his friends of later years called
upon him. The general kept open
house all day, and in the full uni
form of his rank received his numer-
Gus guests.
The reception was the largest ex-
perienced since the SEVENTEEN birth
day, when about $50 of his brigade
greeted their commander. Many let
ters and kilograms were received
from his soldiers and others There
were flags in all of the rooms, and
from the porch waved a large ban
ner and a dozen smaller ones.
General Bragg has improved much
in health the past year and his friends
predict he will reach the ninety
year mark.

BORAH SCORES NORTH
SAYS RACE PREJUDICE AS
STRONG AS IN SOUTH.
Asserts Hypocrisy ls Shown Toward
Neqro-Take Direct Vote
Bill Up Today.

Washington Senator Borah as
serted on the floor of the senate that
the prejudice against the negro was
no more pronounced in the south
than it was in the north and added
that the northern states played the
parts of a hypocrite in contending to
the contrary.
His declarations regarding the ne.
gro were made at the close of pro-
longed speech in opposition to the
Sutherland amendment to the senate
resolution providing for the election
of senators by popular vote. That
amendment would have the effect Of
giving congress control of senatorial
elections.
The Idaho senator contended that
congress would have the right to pro-
tect the individual voter in senatorial
elections even with the constitutional
provisions giving specific authority in
that direction eliminated, and in so
doing aroused sharp antagonism from
Senator'S Nelson. Carter and Suther-
land.
Mr.. Borah treated the Sutherland
amendment as a device to kill the res
olution, declaring it to be bulwark
from behind which the measure might
be shot to DEATH
The Idaho senator's pronouncement
on the race question was in response
to the recent assertion of Senator
Root that without the Sutherland pro-
vision the resolution would deprive
the southern negroes of federal pro.
lection in the exercise Of the fran
ch1se.
Mr.. Borah dissented from the New
York senator's view, and in doing so
used language which elected congrat-
| ulations from many senator's

1Tashington.-Over by his
emotions and weakened by the Illness
with which he was stricken during
the last session of congress, Senator
Tillman sank sobbing into his seat
Saturday shortly after beginning a
speech in eulogy of the late Senators
Alexander S. Clay Of Georgia and
Jonathan P. Dolliver of Iowa.
Senator Bacon of Georgia moved
hastily over and took seat by the
South Carolinan. A few words from
Mr.. Bacon in a measure restored the
control of his nerves to Mr.. Tillman,
and shortly afterward he feebly
walked from the chamber.
The attempt to speak at length was
the first Mr.. Tillman had made since
his return to his duties, and his
friends had feared it might prove too
great a tax upon his impaired
strength.

There are two sides to every ques
ton. Dean Bailey Of the College of
Agriculture at Cornell, presented the
other side of a much-discussed matter
when he talked to the fruit growers
of the state at SOdus on the subject
of abandoned farms. It is often de-
clared that there is great loss of po-
tential wealth in the abandoned farms.
But Prof. Bailey says that much
sentiment has been wasted on social
ed abandoned farms; that farming has
been suspended ON some lands for
good economic reasons, and that farm
ing will not begin again upon them
until conditions demand it. All this
is true, of course. Buying an aban-
doned farm does not always open the
road to prosperity for the buyer. The
new owner may find conditions such
that he cannot get along any better
than the old owner who left the place.
There is gold in sea water, but no
profitable way has been found to eX-
tract it. There is land lying unused
IN abandoned farms-though the state
agricultural department showed not
long ago that there are fewer farms
OF this kind than the average person
supposed.
