watched the hands of the clock as

that the hour was midnight, and still
the husband failed to apear. The

RidIno ia Destruction

Just how far p%lutocratic or trust
control of the nations industry and
wealth is responsible for the increas-
ing burden of the higher cost OF liv.
ing, is a problem for calm and sane
investigation that We may in an or
derby and conservative way readjust
ourselves to changed economic condi.
tons. 1t is a situation that calls for
the highest wisdom and self-restraint,
for America is facing a grave crisis
that will test our institutions to the
foundations. 1t is for this reason that
we must deplore and condemn the
fatuous folly of these princes Of mo
nopoly, who, like the coal barons, i n
arrogant defiance of public opinion
and public needs, add fuel to the smol-
dering fires Of unrest and discomfort.
They are carrying lighted torches int

MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED
Situation Improved, but Further Work
Is Needed to Stamp Out
tuberculosis.

Only four states, Mississippi, Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis was organized there were 26
states in which no hospital or sanito-
rum provision for consumptives ex.
listed, and the entire number of beds
in the United States vas only 10000.
While these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth in anti-tubercu.
losis activity" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary of the
National association, in commenting
on the subject, there are still prac-
tically ten INDECENT consumptives for
every one of the 3 10000 beds, including
those for pay patients. In other words,
we have from 100000 to 800, 900 con.
sumptives in this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves,
If tuberculosis is over going to be
stamped out in the United States,
more hospital provision for these foci
of infection must be provided" (

Her Unfortunate Error,

A literary lady at a society dinner
was given a seat next to a noted
scientist whose views we're very ma
terialistic, and at some remark he
made IN the origin of mankind, the
lady found her temper tried beyond
all bearing, so that she retorted: II
really don't are what you say. be-
lieye in the Bible, and there we are
told that Adam was the father OF all
living"
Il really think you are mistaken"
no said with a smile, and SO the sub
ject dropped.
A few days later the lady, writing
to q bosom friend, told her of the &C.
currence and added: II am too morti-
fed, for I have looked the matter up
and 1t only says that Eve was the
mother of all living, and SO / don't
know whether to write to the profes.
sor or not"

WORK Of the rarlff Board.

Congressman Palmer of this state
has made a strong speech supporting
Congressman Redfield's merciless dis
section OF the tariff boards report on
wooden goods, and the Democrats of

The board has done work Of som
value, and 1t has done as we'll as any

MEAT TRUST AND THE PUBLIC
Restoration Of Competition at Least
Holds Prospecteof Affordlna
Some Relief.

Reports that the meat trust, rather
than contest civil suit following the
failure of the recent criminal prosecu-
ton, will dissolve voluntarily, are &C
companied by the threat that dissolu-
ton will be succeeded by an imme-
date rise in prices because the pack
ers can do business more cheaply as
a trust than as separate companies.
The humor Of this idea lies, of course.
In the assumption that the public has
really received the benefit of those
economies in operation which have
been the main standby in most trust
promotion prospectuses. If any con-
sumner could recall a reduction in meat
prices following the progress of the
trusts development this argument
would be more impressive. But when,
on the contrary, the growth toward
trust perfection has been marked by
steadily increasing prices, despite the
assertion that the packers can oper-
ate more cheaply as a trust than as
separate companies, the threat to force
the consumer to make good what he
never had is merely adding injury to
insult.
Incidentally, one of the packers, in
a lengthy defense Of high prices, a r
CUES that in the past ten years, while
there has been an increase of popula-
ton If 81 per cent, there has been a
decrease in cattle of 2 per cent. With

raising them to consumers, what else
could be expected? What encourage
