A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS


years, gave the editor Of the Demo-
crat a sound thrashing because the
editor had published some things
not at all complimentary to his Of
fetal career. That's the way to do
! it. If the editor tells the truth on
you, wipe up the face Of the earth
with him. That disproves the ed
itor's charges and makes him liar.
Of course it does. Anyway, editors
have no business telling the truth
on crooked politicians. All editors
should honey" these sharks and
pirates; just like a whole lot of ed
itors do. Then they are in no dan
ger of physical chastisement, and
besides they may share in the prof
its that croOkedly accrue to the
crook.

Evaneelists Burke and Hobbs,

This paper hardly ever dabbles in
church affairs, and this matter is,
we very readily understand, none
of our business, but we cannot re-
frain from taking advantage of the
opportunity to note this observa-
ton: Many times in life we have
known evangelist ministers to enter
communities and for few days
work, apparently effective, carry
away more money than the COM
munity pays the resident pastor for
his service during an entire year.
This may be right; we do not see it
that way. The editor of this paper
has no confidence in the religious
enthusiasm that pampers evanee-
lists and starves pastors. Another
observation we cannot refrain from
noting right here: Often have we
seen the work of the evangelist dis
appear almost as soon as the
preaching stops and the evangelist
is well out of town. The team has
cooled off and the collar doesn't fit

discovery of remnants of a suppos-

dams near the head waters of the
Sacramento river. The main body or
the tribe, the Kohbos, was extermin-

According to the members of the
expedition, which has returned from
the north, there are about twenty in
the tribe at present. They were iden.

When the United States Steel cor

thing on earth" So it was, in com
mand of capital, in extent of resources,
in the enlistment of able intellect, in
possibility of good or evil influence on
the trade of this country and of the
world, and in other respects. The com
bined stock and bond capitalization of

Purpose Of the Combination.
To Charles NJ. Schwab, first presi-
dent OF the United States Steel cor
poration and one of Andrew Carnegie s
chief lieutenants in the steel business,
is awarded the creditor the discredit
of suggesting the formation of the
big corporation. Asked by the con
gressional investigating committee
which probed into the consolidation to
explain his purpose in suggesting it,
Mr.. Schwab said;
81 explained the very great advan'
tages that would result in manufacture
! through such an organization as the
United States Steel corporation, and
gave my reasons in detail. First of all
that instead of manufacturing steel as
it was then manufactured by a number
of companies, each of which manufac
tured the same lines, it was my idea
/ that the organization to be truly sue
cessful should be made of such a char
acter that one mill should be run to
one product and not one mill on fifty
products, as was then the rule"
How far Mr.. Schwab's contention
was correct in predicting success fol
the corporation viewed only on the
material side, may be gathered from q
study of the figures showing its deal
ings. The gross receipts have amount
ed in ten years and eight months tC
$5,813, 243,724, In one year they have
been as high as $757Ol4,767, Last yea
they amounted to $7O3,961 ,424.
The United States governments re
ceipts from customs and all othe
sources of revenue in the fiscal yea
which ended June 30 last were $500
1O9, 9O6, so it will be seen that in on

States Steel Corporation was a bigge
