Facts About Steel Trust.
The restriction of competition,
which is in violation of the law, was
the prime object of the organizers of
the United States Steel corporation,
according to information which has
recently come to light in Washington.
When formed, the steel trust had
properts valued at 1852, 100000. But
it was capitalized at 81, 402, OOO, 900.
OF the capital stock, s72O,OOO,OOO, or
more than half, was water. Three
partners of j. P. Morgan advanced
$28, 200, 900 to finance the trust and
received stock worth $50, 500, 900.
The average rate of profit from 1901
to 1910 on the corporations actual in
vestment was IL per cent. Although
this combine is in existence in plain
violation of the law, the Taft admin
istration, refused to prosecute it.

An Enjoyable Visit.

The editor and wife took day off
Sunday and spent the day in Jeffer-
son City, visiting at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. j. D. Allen. Early in the
morning we enjoyed long drive
through and around the city behind a
fine team of carriage horses, taking
in the ruins of the burned capitol
building, the barns and power house
of the new electric car line, and the
many other interesting sights which
one may find in and about Missouri's
fine old capitol city. Were it not for
the stability of the improvements
being made, one might imagine JEFF
ferson City to be ''boom town"
for on every hand one may find
dwellings and business houses in the
course of construction, but the
boom" appearance is quickly shown
to be an appearance only when one
realizes that the new buildings are
practically all being built of either
brick or concrete. A frame building
in jefferson City is almost curiosity.
jefferson City's car line, which
originally extended only up from the
bridge through the business section
of the city, but few months ago, is
now being rushed out into the resi-
dence districts and into the suburbs.
jefferson City is unquestionably
showing remarkable enterprise and
push, and is rapidly growing from a
country town into a hustling little
city.
On the wooded heights above the
Moreau river, two and one-half miles
from the city, stands Judge w. w.
Graves magnificent residence where
from its shaded breezy verandas and
old fashion galleries one may enjoy a
view of the entire city and miles Of
the surrounding country. As we
drove by, Mrs. Graves called to us
from the veranda. in old time Mis-
souri, hospitality, insisting that we
'1ipht and come in" We did 30 and
thoroughly enjoyed brief visit with

Stone of Missouri.

Defying the heat that has invaded
Washington, and resisting at once the
threat of foe and the Establishment of
friend, Senator Stone of Missouri,
like Papirius of old, sits in his curule
chair.
Other statesman accepted the Pres
ident's invitation to lap them in soft
Lydian airs and other things on the
deck of an Atlantic excursion boat.
They were carried away by the call
of the sea. At the beck of the Presi-
dent they rushed out" did these
recreant conscript fathers, even as
Catiline rushed out when the torrent
of invective fell from great Tully's
lips. They lost themselves in the Tilt
and life of the ocean wave, and in the
heaving of the pillows and the high
halls they forgot, for time, the cares
of state, the woe of insurgent speech
es and the applause which thunders
between the brackets of The Con-
gressional Record.
But Stone remained. He alone of
those invited stuck to his post, like
that other hero of the burning deck.
Stone stood steadfast on the job. He
had therefore been scolding those for
whom the lure of the summer resort
was stronger call than the duties of
office in superheatedeapital. They
thought his Cantonian attitude would
relax when it came his turn to go.
But they did not know the "elder
Statesman" from Missouri. He has
been over the burning sands before.
He purposes to be an eyewitness to
every detail of the transactions now
being enacted at Washington. He
knows the game, and when all is over
they viii know that Stone was at the
table.-Republic.

The Taft administration, however, CO.
operated with the steel trust by Civ
ing secrets of our battleships to for
eign nations with the understanding
that in exchange for these secrets the
countries thus favored would give a
substantial contract to the steel trust.
The man who permitted the exchange
of vital government secrets in order
that the illegal trust could increase its
dividends was Philander C. Knox,
now secretary of state. Mr.. Knox
helped organize the steel trust and
went from the position of steel trust
attorney to that of United States At
torney General.

WASHINGTON Z LETTER.
Special Washington Correspond.
ent of The Times.

By clyde II. Tavenner.
President Taft will be opposed by
progressive Republicans for a re-
nomination on the ground that he is
still the mouthpiece of Aldrich and
the great law-defying industrial cor
porations of the country.
If proof were necessary to show that
the old alliance between Taft and AID
rich still exists, the President himself
furnished it on two notable occasions
within the last couple of weeks when
he went out of his way to indorse the
Aldrich near-central-bank scheme,
which is designed to give Wall street
absolute control of the money and
credit of the United States, and thus
make it the absolute master of bust
ness and industry.
Progressive Republicans contend
that if the President should be re-
nominated and reelected "he would
continue to be the complaisant help
mate of schemers like Aldrich, who
are striving constantly to make the
great masses of the public little more
than the serfs of the few men who
compose the great financial combina-
ton, of which J. Pierpont Morgan
and the Standard Oil capitalists are
the most conspicuous figures. )" And
Mr.. Taft now publicly confirms the
fears of the progressives.
Therefore the only thing left for the
public to conclude is that Mr.. Taft's
reelection would necessarily place
back id control of Congress the same
class of men who were swept out by
the indignation of the public in the
last election.
That Mr.. Taft is but the mouth
piece of Aldrich in all his speeches in
which he advocates the Aldrich mon
etary scheme as being ''the most i'm
portant' legislation before the public
is evident on the face of things. For
Mr.. Taft has himself been frank
enough to say that he knows nothing
about the Aldrich plan; that he has
not studied the financial question,
and that he has taken his convictions
from those who have told him the
Aldrich plan should be adopted.
Taft's strong endorsement of the
Aldrich scheme will make it more
necessary than ever for the progress
ives within his party to prevent bis
nomination. II also means that the

Aldrich scheme will be made one of
the big campaign issues of 1912. The
Democrats desire no better issue.
The scheme Aldrich has cooked up
gives to Morgan the power of life and
death over business and industry.
For the life of both is credit, and the
control Of credit Taft would place abb
solutely in Morgan's hands.
Democrats Making Honest Efforts.
The Democrats are sincere in their
efforts to run the House of Represen-
tatives on an economical business ba-
sis. The report of Jerry South, chief
clerk of the House, just made public,
shows that during the month of June
a saving of So, $3.50 was effected as
result of the abolishing Of useless
Offices. This item, which does not
include the big reduction on the po-
lice force which the Senate has not
yet concurred in, but will approve
shortly, means saving of $lO2, 742.-
80 in a year.
This is not a stupendous sum, it is
true, but the spirit is in striking con-
trast to the $35 wastepaper baskets in
the offices of Postmaster General
Hitchcock and the expensive recrea-
tons taken by the Aldrich monetary
commission at public expense at Mar
ragansettt pier.
Taft Bureau Repudiated.
Once more the White House press
bureau has been forced to back-track.
1t was like this: Franklin A. Shot
well, of Omaha, secretary of the Pro-
gressive Republican League, of Ne
braska, came to Washington, had a
talk with the President and was quot
ed by the White House press bureau
as saying that Nebraska was strong
''for Taft for denomination and re-
election" Now it happens that the
league which Mr.. Shotwell was made
to appear as speaking for, is Strong"
against Taft instead of being for him.
When the officials of the Nebraska
organization heard of Shotwell's
statement they promptly passed reso-
buttons repudiating il, and wired them
to Washington. The fact is the real
progressive Republicans stand as a
unit against Taft's denomination, and
every indication is that if he secure.
the nomination again they will per-
init him to 60 down in defeat Then
they will make an attempt to reor-
ganize the Republican party.
Progressive Lose Ground

IRISH POTATOES in THE
PARISH OF
ACADIA.
Saws the Crowley SIGNAL:

Says the crowley olgnal:
Is is estimated that twenty
five carloads of sweet potatoes
will be shipped from Crowley
this season, and the amount that
will be shipped from the rest of
the parish will be much larger
than this.
Church Point alone will ship a
much larger quantity than this.
Rayne will ship an enormous
quantity.
Crowley has shipped two car
loads Of Irish potatoes and may
ship more.
Iota shipped a carload of Irish
potatoes last week and will ship
another this week.
Church Point has probably
shipped more Irish potatoes this
year than all the rest OF the
parish.
Iota and Crowley will at least
double their Irish potato acreage
next year. "A large fall acreage
will be planted in the parish.
An experienced and reliable
truck buyer or commission mer-
chant who would locate at a cen.
trail point in this parish coule
build up a splendid business.
Market is all this parish needs
for the development of a flourish

Only A Cat.

Every cat isn't fortunate

pear in a police court and assert
that each is her sole owner. But
such a fortunate cat was Sweet

ton as to the ownership of which

Avenue Police Court, Brooklyn,
some days ago, of two women,
mad all through about 'tabby. I
During the trial before the magis-
trate the women Waxed warm
with wrangling, but the cat, hay
ing better sense and judgment,
fell asleep on the floor near the
feet of the contestants. 1t would
be a better tribute to woman II
she paid more attention to her
children and less to her cat, and
she'd probably remain out OF the
limelight of court if she did. We
do not know much about cod
ding cats, but we have been told
that there's nothing in it except

faction of the Democratic party

which so palpably violates the
spirit of the primary law is little
less than shocking"
In no respect does the League
stand as a representative of the
people. It is a movement born
in seIfishness and revenge and
designed to overthrow the domi-
nant factions in city and State
for the purposes of patronage
and pelf. Behind it are dis
gruntled ex-officeholders and dis
appointed placehunters, endorsed
political overlords seeking to re-
gain their seats of power, a flock
of corporation attorneys, like
Mr.. Edward Hines chief counsel,
eager for public franchises and
privileges, the rag-tag and bob
tail element which the regular
organization has cast off in the
city and a small following OF
good citizens who have been mis-
led by its noisy professions of re
form. It no more speaks for the
Igreat body of the people OF
Louisiana today than did the
three Tailors of Tooley Street fol-
the British public of their day.

appeared to speak for constitu

to the League and its methods.

Foxes are Numerous.

Darlington Democrat: Foxes are
either more numerous than usual this
winter or else hunters and trappers
have become more skillful. Dick
farrell and Louis Schreiter set trap
on the little creek below the James
Tully farm to catch mink. When
they went back a day or two later to
see what they had got the trap was
gone. Next day a hunter in the adjoin
ing town Of Wiota shot and killed fox
with trap on it's foot Ted Bixby of
South Wayne had similar experience,
except that he got the fox himself. He
and his dog followed the trail about
three hours, when the dog came up
with the little animal. When Ted
arrived on the scene the dog, at word
from him, began active hostilities and
made short work of his enemy.
