will Ascertain Facts.

In view of the positive declarations
Of the Baltimore platform and the
occasional remarks Of the president
and his chief spokesman concerning
trusts, there is surprise at the an
nouncement made by Commissioner
Davies Of the Bureau or Corporations
10 an address before the National AS
sociation OF Hardware Dealers at At
lahtic CITY. Mr.. Davies, says that his
bureau will attempt 10 determine
whether a competitive system Of large
units or monopolistic system is the
most advantageous to society. He ar
gued that the chief popular considera-
tiou is the matter OF cheapneSs Of
products, coupled with fair standard
OF living OF workers. He insists that
scientific study OF the operation Of
vast industries has not yet been made
and that it will require a liberal con
gressional appropriation to make an
inquiry which will be OF permanent
value. Mr.. Davies is cautious not to
bind the administration to a policy Of
regulation Of monopoly by an indus
trial commission, even should his bu'
reau conclude that this would be for
the good Of the country.
It will be astonishing to friends of
the administration that have so long
talked Of putting trust officials behind
steel bars, and who have admired the
cartoontsts' representations Of captains
OF industry in stripes, % learn that
there is still doubt in the mind of the
commissioner OF corporations as to
whether even civil suits TO dissolve
the large monopoIistic combines should
be brought, TO say nothing Of treating
the officials as felons. Mr.. Bryan long
ago figured out the exact percentage
OF any business that any concern should
be permitted to do, regardless Of
whether it had used unscrupulous
methods in sitting competition or not
While he did not include his maximum
percentage estimate in the Baltimore
platform, he did declare a private
monopoly indefensible and intolerable
and favor vigorous enforcement Of
both the criminal and civil law against
trusts and trust officials and additional
legislation to make it impossible for a
trust 10 exist in the United States. The
supreme court was censured for its
construction Of the Sherman act, which
in the opinion of the platform writer.
deprived it OF mucn Of its efficacy. A
restoration Of the feature construed
away by the supreme court was prom
ised.
The calm statement OF Mr.. Davies
that nobody yet knows whether trusts
are good or bad will scarcely go un-
rebuked by the administration. But
perhaps Mr.. Davies really expects to
find that conditions will justify the
language Of the Baltimore platform
and that an Investigation" will pro-
mote enactment OF more stringent
laws II this be the explanation, it
will not be the fist time that an in
vestigatiou has been held for the pur'
pose Of proving something already in
the mind Of the investigator. Globe

County Teachers Association.

The County Teachers Association
which closed last Saturday at Bransor
showed evidence Of educational pro
gress. Teachers were complimentet
BY our distinguished visitors for the
active part they took in the discus
sions, the interest shown and the many
good testimonials. The contest in
penmanship, composition and letter
writing furnished a nice little exhibit,
and the teachers we're very much in
terested 10 looking over each pupil:
work. This is a good start toward q
larger exhibit next year. Prizes wor
as follows:
Penmanship, Pearl Fronabarger,
CARRIER school, Mrs, Ellen F. Ander-
son, teacher.
Letter, Arlie Stewart, Antioch school,
Miss Elizabeth lancaster, teacher.
Composition, Aubrey Bunk, Brad
leyv!lle school, Miss Ora Adams,
teacher.
The prizes we're appropriate pictures
to be used as school house decorations.
The valuable assistance rendered
the association by Hon. VIM. P.
Evans, W. T. Carringron and Others
named in the resolutions, can scarcely
be over-estimated, and it is TO be re
gretted that only Al teachers out Of so
were present. Teachers in attendance
showed by their resolutions how i'm
portant they consider these meetings.
The committee on resolutions pre-,
sented the following report, which was
voted upon and adopted:
Resolved, That we, the teachers Of
Taney county, extend thanks TO the
citizens Of Branson for their kindness
and hospitality during the association.
Resolved, That we especially thank
Mr.. Hoenshell for the active part which
he took in the meeting
Resolved, That we thank Mr.: Hos.
kins for the hearty welcome which he
extended to US in the behalf OF the
Branson people.
Resolved, That we especially thank
Superintendent Evans, W. T. Caring
ton, F. F. Thompson and l. S. Grif-
fifth for their valuable services rendered
during the meeting.
Resolved, That each teacher has
been benefited and inspired by the
assembage at this association.
Resolved, That it is not only the
duty Of the teacher to attend the An
nual Association, but that it is neces-
sary to the success OF their school
work. We further resolve, that the
county superintendent should revoke
the certificate Of any such teacher
falling to attend the annual association,
provided such teacher cannot furnish
a satisfactory excuse for absence.
Resolved, That each teacher shall
make an effort to secure free text books.
Resolved, that we thank our county
superintendent for the efficient way in
which he conducted our County AS
sociation.

CASE OF DISCRETION.

Those who happended to be at the
depot Monday morning were witness
ses Of a very painful exhibition of
frenzied hysteria. A young woman,
with her hair down flying in the wind,
sobbing, shrieking, distraught passed
through the cars searching for her
husband, who was deserving her, and
not finding him she fell half fainting
on the platform. Friends induced her
to go to the Spokane hotel, and later
took her home. On inquiry it was
learned that the woman's name is
Stone, formerly Miss Minnie Gibson,
and at one time she worked In the
Radbourn hotel. Her people live near
Conconully, and she was married a
few months ago to w. e. Stone, Of
Pine creek. The young couple had a
quarrel Sunday. She was in Oroville
Saturday, returning to her home Sun
day. Stone arrived here Sunday night,
and his wife followed him in buggy,
arriving early Monday morning. She
found him few minutes before 1t was
time for the train to leave, but he man
the train. She followed him to the de-
pot, but was unable to find him in the
cars. When she was taken from OrO-
vile she was in state of total COL
lapse, and to all appearances was on
the virgo of insanity. The cause Of
estrangement Is not known, but at
ter witnessing the suffering Of the wo-
man one could not help regretting that
the man in the case escaped a long
term in the penitentiary.

DELAYED MATERIAL ARRIVES.

The pressed brick for the front of
the Grub hotel have arrived after a
long delay. The north and east walls
Of the building are up to the second
story. Now that the material is on
hand the west and south walls will be
rapidly added, sQuaring out the build
ing to a symmetrical whole. While
the delay was very annoying to Sup
erintendent Stanley he did not permit
his crack crew of brick layers to grow
rusty in idleness. During the wait for
the pressed brick he put the force on
the Covert building. for which he has
contract, with the result that the
walls Of the Covert block are up to
the roof. There is nothing like doing
construction work on q system that
utilities every working hour and gets
results. Mr.. Stanley's long experience
in field where efficiency and know
ledge Is necessary to make head
against keen competition fits him for
handling two jobs Of the magnitude of
the Grub and Covert blocks at the
same time.

cant for the present. The books Of
the treasurer we're audited and q
deficit of $685. from the last campaign
was disclosed, but it was thought that
by good financing the party would
escape the clutches Of a receiver. A
plan Of education was perfected by
which study clubs are to be formed
in every community in the county all
studying the same book, assisted by q
corresponding secretary who issues a
list of questions to each student and
reviews his work. A special effort
will be made to interest women in

Complaints of the condition of the
roads come from all parts of the
county. The long dry spell has left
the roads ruck of dust, and they
are as rough as though corduroyed.
The auto contributes largely toward
this wearing process, and between all
classes of wheeled vehicles the high
ways are so cut up that travel over
them is hardship upon the rig as
well as the occupant thereof. The
Good Roads clubs of the county have
a tremendous task before them in the
campaign for better roads.
A very pleasant and largely attend
ed whist party was given Tuesday
evening by Mrs. Opal Balderston at
the home of her father, J. F. Samson.
The party was given on behalf Of the
guild, and the contributions of the
guests amounted to a considerable
sum. There were nine tables occupied
and the participants greatly enjoyed
the evening. Mrs. G. L. Armstrong
had the greater number of progress
sions among the ladies, and C. c. He'd
ger among the gentlemen. During
the evening a dancing and card club
was organized to give entertainments
during the winter.

LOOSE SMUT OF GRAIN.

In view of the fact that the loose
smut of the grains is becoming more
and more prevalent each year it has
been considered advisable to present
to the grain growers Of the state a
short statement concerning it.
This smut is different from the
sinking smut, in that the plant Is
not infected in the seeding stage, but
gains admittance to the host at bios
soming time. The head also appears
different. The smut does not rema n
within the mebrane Of the kernel, but
early breaks out and for a short
time shows as black powdery mass
of smut spores. These soon disap-
pear, leaving only the stem Of the head
with few smut spores attached 70 It

LACK OF APPRECIATION

The Spokane fair this year was a finan-
cial failure, the attendance being less
than that Of last year. Those who were
present say the attractions were we'll
worth seeing, and the management spared
no expense in the effort to keep the fair
up to the standards fixed In the past.
Then why the failure? Simply because
the people Of Spokane themselves lacked
public spirit. and were so Indifferent that
they did not extend to the fair ona- half
the support they should have DONE There
were more people from the adjacent
country In attendance at the fair than
ever before. II the same apathy had pre-
vailed in the country as prevailed in the
city the fair would have been an absolute
failure. Spokane cannot expect country
people to continue contributing support
to the fair II the residents Of that city
persistently decline to do their part.

Lee Ives, one of the pioneers and
best known residents of the county,
was convicted Of bootlegging in the
superior court last week. Ives for
years conducted a hotel at Ives Land
ing, at the mouth of the Methow river,
now Pateros. The crime he was
charged with was committed at Brew
ster. He was convicted by jury af-
ter an able defense, and must be
guilty. 1t is pittable nevertheless that
any man should stoop to such de-
spicable crime as surreptitiously SELL
ing liquor to Indians, and especially
one so widely known as Ives.
Joe Wolfe, who was arrested and
charged with bootlegging, was &C
quilted in the superior court last
week. Wolfe is one of the old timers
OF the valley. 1t was charged that he
sold liquor to Charlie Thorpe, of
Loomis. The case was first taken to
the Federal court, where it was de-
cided to be a state case. There was a
time when Thorpe was free to take his
nip over any bar in the county and no
questions asked, but it seems that he
is now barred from that privilege, and
he who sells him liquor is amenable
to the law.

On account of these facts AMI with
