THE COFFEE TRUST PROSECUTION.

The case Of the Brazilian Coffee trust, whose
American end is now being prosecuted seems pecul-
iarly to deserve consideration by people concerned
to discourage extreme and dangerously radical pro-
posals in legislation and administration.
A powerful group Of international moneyed in
terests loaned their support, invested their money
and extended the protecting wing of business pres
tge, to destroy the working of economic law to a
great world staple. A great national government is
leading partner in the project 1t has made laws lin
itng the production of coffee and surrendering
troll Of the whole marketing situation to its financial
allies.
Coffee is held off the market in order to force
high prices; it is charged that the American factors
in the combination now hold well-nigh million bags
in warehouse, to keep prices high The actual re-
suits of this gigantic combination atested by the
great rise in price in the last two years.
The United States is the chief victim Of this mo-
nopoy, because by far the greatest coffee user. Re-
taliation is difficult if not impossible, because we
must take Brazil's coffee or 60 without. Europe is
being victimized in like fashion. When Congress
man Norris, nearly two years ago, introduced the
resolution that started investigation and prosecution,
German interests and sympathy were such that Mr..
Norris found himself in cable correspondence with
German interests anxious to help his fight.
monopoly of international financial power, un-
der the of great countrys sovereign right to
make its own policies, laws and economic arrange
ments, that thus subjugates vast field Of commerce
and industry, is invitation to radicalism every
where. Such enterprises arouse the deep resentment
Of the people They provide point and justification
for the most extreme and bitter excoriations. The
structure Of legitimate business is threatened in the
general storm Of protest against wrongs which are
undeniable, against the extortions of such world
graspng power, against the cynical setting aside OF
all economic law.
There are perfectly proper reasons for great ag
gregations of capital and enterprise They are good
when the public benefits by the greater facility OF
production which they make possible. But they
altogether bad when in this of the Coffee
trust their purpose is entirely to restrict not to in
crease supplies; to raise not to lower, prices; to
tort from, not to serve, the people.
1t is blindness to plunge into such enterprise:
without thought for the fact that at last the public
will not differen...e between useful and vicious ag
gregations, and will be tempted to turn and reno
them all.
The problem of securing even-handed justice
of nicely discriminating of regulating as to pre-
serve all legitimate interests, is hard enough wthou
getting it complicated with the animosities ant
hatreds that such displays of reckless power mus
arouse.

BASEBALL ROWDYISM.

Rowdyism, the only evil which has menaced base
ball, has been hailed into the court of public opinion
by the "Ty" Cobb episode. The erratc, hot-headed
but popular and welequipped ball player and the
obnoxious New York fan have now become mere
incidents. The issue involves the future of the
greatest of American sports
For a long time lovers of the game have recog-
hnized the danger of rowdyism injuring the game,
while those opposed to baseball upon certain days
and at certain places have based their posto- wholly
upon this one weakness
Neither PLAYERS nor the bleachers are able to
point their fingers at the other and make any accu
satons that do not apply with equal force to them
selves. All baseball enthusiasts familiar with
that type of player who gratuitously insults spec
tators who are partisans against his team, just
they are familiar with the abusive fan" who should
be put off the grounds
Baseball magnates, umpres and ground officials
have permitted the practice of "ragchewing' and
roasting" between players and audience to degener-
ate into unlimited abuse and often unrestrained OBJ
scenty, apd they now facing the fruits of their
lax policy, n .. -. .,
Baseball was reformed recently by stringent ules
protecting umpires from abuse by players. The pub
lie appauded.' 1t is up to those who dominate
the baseball situation to make and enforce rules that
will protect the players from abuse by spectators
and spectators from being insuted by players. The
baseball public will welcome the most stringent rul.
ing to this end .
The controversy between "Ty' Cobb and the New
York fan can be decided upon its merits. Perhaps
Johnson in error in suspending Cobb indefinitely
before he heard Cobb's story. Perhaps the Detroi
team was in error in striking before they had pre-
sented Cobb's story and asked hearing Those
things are matters that cannot be settled in news

Prof. Garnett Hedge of Huron college,
as head of the music department of
the State College, to succeed Prof.

tor in piano, and Miss Allen, accom-
PIANIST. Miss Cathcart and Prof.

SPREADING ALFALFA GOSPEL

Prof. n. f. Hansen, and his two as
sistants, Arne Larsen and VIM. Wood,
arrived Saturday night from the north
part of the state, where they are put
ting in alfalfa plants in different To-
calities, and they left again Tues
day evening to complete the work.
Prof. Hansen has selected a tract of
ground near Faith, in Meade county,
as an experiment farm for the pro-
duction Of alfalfa seed. After test
ing the soil and climatic conditions
in that part of the state, Professor
Hansen found them to be as nearly as
possible like those in Siberia, where
the alfalfa plant thrives best. He
will endeavor to produce on the farm
at Faith alfalfa seed which will pro-
duce a growth that will Withstand all
the rigorous conditions of the winters
Of western South Dakota.

HOW TO DISPOSE OF: TIN CANS

Since the good women Of Brookings
have organized themselves into a civic
league for the purpose of assisting in
making this city cleaner and a more
attractive place in which to live, a
few words about one of the greatest
existing n%uisances may be in order,
ing a trip through any of the alleys
you will find tin cans scattered every
where. They are left so the wind can
blow them in every direction. If you
visit the dumping grounds you will
see a sight SO CHASTITY that it is almost
beyond description. An absolute dis
grace is a mild term. Nearly all of
it is caused by tin cans. This a be
stopped if all housekeepers will, when
emptying a can, first rinse the can
with water SO as to prevent anything
remaining in the course of fermenta-
ton. Then take a hammer and pound
the cans fiat. All the tin cans from
any house for a whole year, if pounded
fiat will only fill a very small box.
This can then be buried in a corner
of the yard where they will Don rust
away, or they can be collected nee a
year and hauled away where they will
form only a small bulk, or they can be
cold fnr nt.a - itnn 20 thnrA Il, Apn,nb
to form a shipment.
If all tin cans and glass and earth
were kept separate from the
manure the could also be con-
verified into a fertilizer that would
have a commercial value. But with
all these things mixed, it becomes a
menace to health as well as a dis
grace to the city.
Let every household smash up all
tin cans, all earthenware and glass
ware, and keep them separate from
the manure and this will go a long
way toward making Bookings a clean
city than before.
A simple way to dispose of kitchen
garbage is to put it into a perforated
dish and drain the water off, then put
it into the stove and burn it. This is
inexpensive and can be done both win
ter and summer.
Such simple means as the above will
the difference between a clean
and a filthy yard and greatly reduce
the cost of cleaning up.

Investments in the internal improve
ment land fund, or that may here
after accrue to said fund, and shall
also include all funds accruing to
any state road and bridge fund,
however provided.
"The legislature IL authorized to
add to such fund. for the purpose
Of constructing or improving roads
and bridges of this state, by provid-
Ing. in its discretion, for any an
hual tax levy upon the property Of
this state of not to exceed in any
year one mill on all the taxable
property within the state. Provided.
that no county shall receive in any
year more than three (3) per cent
or less than one-half (h) of one
(1) per cent Of the total fund thus
provided and expended during such
year.
PURPOSE AND EFFECT. The appro.
val Of this amendment will authorize
the Legislature to levy, in its discrc-
tiOn, a one mill tax upon all the prop
erty of this state for the bcnent of the
roads and bridges therein; and will
repeal certain limitations as to the
amount which may be paid by the state
for such roads and bridges.
The present contribution authorixea
the Legislature to add to the road and
bridge fund by providing, In lite dlscre-
ton for an annual tax levy upon the
property of this state not to exceed one
fourth (A) of one (1) mill, while the
amendment permits the Legislature, in
it's discretion, to provide for an annual
tax levy of one G) mill on all taxable
property within the state.
The present constitution provides that
In NO case shall more than one.half
CD OF the cost of constructing or
improving any road or bridge be pnfd
by the state from such fund. The
amendment proposes to remove the linz
itatiOn which now exists in the consti-
tuition as to the amount which the state
may pay for such fund towards the
cost of constructing or repairing any
road or bridge and leaves the whole
management of such fund to be provide
ed for by law, us the Legislature shall
deem wise.
