Majority Against Poor Farms.

Cass county does not want poor
farm. The other day the commits
sioners of that county decided by a
majority vote that they did not want
to invest in farm for the present.
It appears that more than fifty
counties of the state have no poor
farms. The Mile Laos county com.
missioners have recently purchased a
poor farm; if properly conducted
there is no reason why it should not
be made practically self-sustaining.
In any event if the land was pur-
chased right small loss can ensue, for
land in Mile Laos county is not de.
preciating in value.

Standard Oil Company Ordered Dissolved.
The Standard Oil company of New
Jersey and it's nineteen subsidiary
corporations we're on Monday de-
clared by the supreme court of the
United States to be a conspiring
combination in restraint of trade.
1t was also held to be monopolizing
Interstate commerce in violation of
the Sherman antitrust law and the
dissolution of the combination was
ordered to take place within six
months. Thus ended the tremendous
struggle on the part of the govern
ment to put down by authority of law
combination which it claimed was
menace to the industrial and eco
nOmic advancement of the whole
country.
The court in it's opinion-which
contained over 10000 words-inter-
preted the Sherman antitrust law so
as to limit its application to acts of
"undue" restraint of trade and not
'every" restraint of trade, thus leav-
ing the inference that each corpora
tion whose acts may be called into
question must be judged upon the
merits OF it's particular case. In other
words, the court seems to have up
held the doctrine that there are
"good" and "bad" trusts. In the
main features of the decision the
court was unanimous, but Justice
Harlan dissented as to the limitation
OF the application of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Attorney General Wickersham NAV
now consider the criminal prosecution
OF members of the Standard Oil CON-
pany, as it is held by the attorneys
OF the department of justice that there
is opportunity for such a proceeding
under the supreme court decision Of
Monday.

FORESTRY SERVICE APPROPRIATION.
Referring to the recent forest fires in
spots in northern Minnesota fortu-
nately the copious downfall of rain
has quenched the fires and there is no
immediate danger-the Minneapolis
Tribune, in caustic editorial such
as only F. A. earle can write, finds
fault with the legislature for the
meagre appropriation made at the
last session for the preservation of
forests and the prevention and sup
preston of forest and prairie fires.
With reference to the appropriation
the Tribune remarks:
Here is early evidence of the wisdom
and justice of those who pleaded for a
larger appropriation for the forest
service in Minnesota. The legislature
cut the $3.50, 900 reasonably asked for
to $4,000, less than it had to appro-
pirate as deficiency to make up for
leaving the state defenseless last year.
The writer was member of the
house committee on appropriations
and was present at joint meeting of
the appropriation committees of the
house and senate, which lasted until
midnight, when the matter in question
was under discussion, and we can as
sure the Tribune that it required some
strong arguments to induce the Joint
committee to approve of an appropri-
alton of even S75, 1000. In this connec-
ton we wish to make mention of the
fact that southern Minnesota
senator, Hon. S. D. Works of Man.
kato, rendered good services on that
occasion. One senator, Hon. G. J.
Swanson, in his feeble way, talked of
graft in connection with the forestry
service and seemed to be opposed to
any appropriation whatever.
While we are of the opinion that at
least 100000 should have been ap-
propriated, yet, under intelligent su-
pervision, $4,000, properly expended,
ought to give Minnesota an efficient
forestry service. By strict enforce
ment OF the law and proper vigilance
on the part of the forest rangers it
should be possible, in a great meas
ure, to prevent forest fires or to sup
press them in their incipiency. An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure.

Stephenson Sends Letter to
Sunday School

Whe ntWo citizens, Messrs. d. t
Davenport and J. P Raiford, called
!at the county Jail yesterday morning
and requested to see Prof. D. T. Steph>
e1son, confined there upon charges OF
assault and battery upon a young lady
at his studio, they were shown to his
apartments on the second floor
! These apartments are set aside en-
tirely for white prisoners, and ne
gro prisoner is never confined there
except negro women, in a remote part
OF the tier of cells
1t transpired later that Mr. Steph-
enson's callers desired to see fol
themselves his condition, and that Of
his food and quarters.
Sunday morning a letter from Prof
Stephenson, addressed to one of the
classes of First Methodist Sunday
School, was read aloud and created
considerable comment In the letter
| it is said, serious charges were made
of conditions at the Jail.
The professor, it is said, wrote thai
his food was rotten, and his bedding
and room anything than what Il
should be- He implored the aid of his
Sunday School class to bring about
improved conditions.
The letter was generally comment
ed upon by class members, who were
little surprised at the missive
While formal action was not taken
DR.. Davenport and Mr. Raiford, SCALED
at the Jail to see conditions there fol
themselves.
They found the apartments of the
professor, his bedding, etc, clean
and wholesome, while some part ot
his breakfast remaining upon the tab
le appeared palatable and appetizing
In fact, conditions did not at all con-
form to the complains made, DR. Day-
export stated
The apartment occupied by Mr.
Stephenson was the same occupied by
the Doctors Hinkle for nearly two
years during their confinement there.
1t is on the south side of the build
ing and by far the most comfortable
one there Conditions could not be
better in any prison.

county prepares all meals for the pris-
oners and food of best quality is serv-

ford were fully satisfied with condi-
tons after their visit to the jail.

tomorrow for a trip of several days
to investigate the matter of street

Improvements are being made will
also be visited,
The party is expected to return 10
Americus on Saturday, so that their
work must be completed within a com
paratively short time All questions
that arise with reference to the prob
lens of what paving material is best
suited to local needs, how it should
be laid, the manner of avoiding flu
ture troubles with reference to the
maintenance of pavements, will all De
included in the questions to be con-
sidered by the members of the party.
1t is hoped that the Investigations
made will be of great value in de-
terminining the kind of paving ma
terial to be used here, which is the
greatest question that will arise in
awarding the paving contracts
Bids on the paving contracts will
be opened Monday, so that the mayor
and members of the party must be in
the city at that time. Though the
