regulate it by means of commission
similar to the interstate commerce
commission The two things are very
different. Transportation by rail from
state to state is a public utility. 1t
produces nothing 1t is simply serv-
ice rendered, and its charges can be
very properly and very auspiciously
regulated" by governmental agen-
cy. But the production of steel, or
other article of merchandise, is a pri-
vate industry, conducted by individuals
or corporations, and when the gov
ernment assumes to regulate, by com
mission, the profits it shall earn, or
the wages it shall pay, we have pure
socialism that leads to the establish
ing Of prices by government of every
article exposed to sale in every mart.
1t is monstrosity impossible of exc
cution, and if it were possible it would
require tens of thousands of addition
al public officials to administer the
thing.

MAKE TRUSTS
CARRY OWN WATER
(By savoyard.)

After voting in the senatorial pri-
mary last Tuesday to keep Boss Jim
Smith out of democratic politics, Gov
ernor Wilson addressed some hun
dreds of college boys on the issues,
and among other things he remarked
the following about the trusts:
II don't want to regulate trusts. |
want to put them on their mettle. |
want to see that they can't put any
body out of business except by doing
business better than anybody else. |
don't want to squeeze the water out
of their stocks l want to put the wa
ter in a tank on their backs and see if
they can carry that water as against
the men who are doing business with
out any water to carry. Then either
they will break under the strain or
get rid of the water themselves, be-
cause they can't carry water and do
business against competition"
There is the whole question and it
means that the special privileges now
enjoyed by the trusts shall be taken
from them and that they be required
to compete with other concerns on
absolute equality with them. Do that
and there will be no more watered
stocks issued by corporations. Do that
and antiquated mills will give place
to the best mills the genius of our en-
gineers can construct. Do that and
the people will be relieved of the hard
ship OF paying exorbitant prices for in
ferior articles.

V|N|TA HIGH
AGAIN THE v|CTORS

The Vinita high school bootball
team annexed their second victory of
the season yesterday afternoon by de-
feating the Wagner high school team.
The boys say they had to play football
to win and that Wagner had good
team but that they proved the better
in every part of the game The score
was Vinita IS, Wagner 3. The score
for Wagner was made by a Vinita
Iplayer who became ratified" and made
a sensational fifty yard run for Wag-
oner's goal, giving them safety or
their score of three points. Scores
were made for Vinita by Carter and
Haven, one goal being kicked made
their score of thirteen.
The result of the game was received
here by telegram shortly after five
O'Clock and soon after the high school
students, members of the faculty, of
the school board and friends of the
school and students, began gathering
at the Katy station to await the Flyer
on which the team was to return and
upon it's arrival the boys were gretted
with yells, bearhugs and blows on the
head and back, after which the squad
became the guests of Mr.. j. H. Winner
at the ice cream parlor. Immediately
after this treat the boys we're again
taken in hand by the crowd of enthu-
siastic students and after triumphant
march up and down the streets the
doors of the Lyric theatre were thrown
lopen and the entire crowd invited in
for a free show. The invitation was
accepted and when this splendid line
of pictures had been witnessed the
same courtesy was extended them by
the management of the Grand theatre

team will come to this city for their
annual game. These two machines
are old rivals having played meek and

nita boys were beaten by them last
year without so much as scoring. The
local team expects to put in some hard
work at practice next week and feel
sure that they will not only give their
supporters a good, close game but
will also hang their third victory on
their string

There is sample of government
by commission" as practiced by Roose-
welt and Taft. There is not a doubt
that the Steel Trust and the other pre-
datory and piratical interests would
be glad to be licensed by the govern
ment and regulated" by a commits
sion like that which took all that was
desirable out of the pure food law.
We tried Roosevelt ninety months;
we have tried Taft forty-three months.
Neither afforded the slightest relief.
Both aggravated and augmented the
abuses that both agree existed and
still exist. Are you going to appoint
either of these to the task that he
neglected and failed to do all these
years?

Doctor Wiley, who knows more about

used to nullify the pure food law. Taft
came in and we had the baleful infiu-
ence of MeCabe and Dunlop, who sue
ceeded in so embarrassing DR.. Wiley
that he resigned in disgust and so far
as the foods and drinks of the public
ARE concerned the matter stands pre-
cisely where it did before the pure
food law was enacted.
Drugs, harmless in themselves, are
employed to conceal putrefaction and
other harmful elements in foods that
are thus sold to the people as sound
and pure, and they have the brand of
the pure food law" on them. There
may be some excellent canned goods
on the market. but if so they have to
compete with impure foods that can
not be detected except by chemical
analysis.

TRAIN ROBBERS
GOT NO LOOT
Four Masked Men Stopped Kansas
City Southern Train, And Blew
Open the Express Safe.

Westville, Okla, Oct. 4.-Four mask
ed men early tonight held up the Kan
sas City Southern north bound passen-
ger train number four three and half
miles north of Poteau, Okla, ransack-
ed the mail blew the safe in the ex-
press car and escaped into the woods
covered hills that stretch for several
miles on all sides of the scene of the
robbery.
The loot the robbers secured was
small consisting of $40 in cash and ten
or twelve registered letters. The pas
sengers were not molested. The men
boarded the train as it stoppd at a
crossing short time before the hold
up. Crawling on their stomachs over
the tender two of them covered the
engineer and fireman while the others
robbed the mail and express cars.
The men blew open the express car
safe with nitro-glycerine. Eentering
the mail car they demanded all the
through" mail. Refusing to accept
the clerks word that there was none,
they sacked the pouches securing not
more than twelve registered letters
that are believed to contain little of
value
Their work done the robbers order
ed the train men to "go ahead com
manding them not to look behind The
men then disappeared into the woods.
Posses were organized at Poteau
and are now securing the woods in
search of the men. There is no clew
to the robbers identity.

The leading trust magnates are for
the Roosevelt plan, especially the
Steel Trust and its offspring, the Har-
yester Trust Mr.. Stanley, of Ken
lucky, who perhaps knows as much
about the subject as any man now
living, has introduced a bill in con
gress depriving the trusts of one of
the most vicious privileges which they
enjoy. He would divorce the indus
trial trust fro mthe transportation bus
mess. In his opinion that would do
more to reform the abuse of corporate
monopoly than anything else. The
trusts will have none of this Stanley
BILL They say it will ruin them and
put them out of business. So it will,
put them out Of rascally business, and
that is something the American peo-
pie are grimly resolved to do.
Roosevelt asks the people to ap-
