We wonder what would have happened to Mr. Taft and his speech on the panic had scvio one asked him questions as cert; men did of the Independence r; .er who usurped the Republican platform after Taft left. Questions touching the issues are very embarrassing to Taft these days when he can talk of nothing but his fear of Bryan. This fear is becoming a very nightma .t the white house—and it is ' noted that it is not a fear tha people will suffer, but that the If'(publican party will be turned out. It is a great fear. This is the day of street arguments on politics, something that is altogether a waste of breath and labor. No one was ever convinced by such methods. They usually result, not in changed politics, but in loss of dignity and sometimes in a broken head.

New' York Evening Post.—It has been shown that the Democratic committee got not a cent and that Mr. Roosevelt gave currency to a false charge. He admitted that Hardman railed $2TO,<kv> for the Republican campaign fund In 11104. Then they were both “practical men” and were working together.

| DEMOCRATIC j | NEWS “ l : A not her Trust “Busted.” We had something to say a few days ago of the probable absorption of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company by Rockefeller, and its transfer by him to the steel trust. Now it has been announced that the Rockefeller and Hnrriman interests have made their first “official move” through Colorado Fuel and Iron toward assuming complete control of the Gould system of properties. As wo have seen the new treasurer of the Colorado company is a Rockefeller man. Now it is said that Gould has been displaced by a Rockefeller man, and it is “unofficially stated in Hie street that the property would soon he turned over to the steel trust.” As the Colorado company lias Bessemer furnaces, but no Bessemer ore, while the steel trust has both, it is believed that the steak, In the hands of the steel trust, will be worth double its present price. And then we have this; So enthusiastic have the insiders of the steel trust become on their stock that the estimates of net earnings for the third quarter, which will be made public next Tuesday, continue to grow. Starting at $25,000.000 about iwo weeks ago, they have had to be raised to $2fi.000,ooo, and now it looks as though they might do half a million better. Orders are on the books to assure at least $20 000,000 for the last quarter of the year. The fact that the trust is aide to earn above $!)5,000,00ft for the worst year in its history is significant. It is indeed very significant. There are many individuals and enterprises who have failed to realize anything like this rate on their capital c,r industry. But the steel trust has been able in this year of depression to earn almost $100,000,000 on a capitalization of a little more than a billion dollars, and on an actual valuation of its original Investment of $500,000,000. It owes no small imrtion of its success to the power which we have given to it to lay taxes on the people of this country. Only the other day it gobbled up the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, with the “permission” of the President. ''ow it is going to get iirdd of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. If there is anywhere anything else that It wants, we suppose It will take it. All that is necessary is for some hank holding trust stocks to get in*' trouble, and then for Morgan ar ockefeller to come to Its “re ake the trust stocks off its hanu ai a figure far below the market price, effect a merger with the steel trust, and then obtain the consent of the President. Or some man like Gould may find himself “up against it,” in which case Hatriman or Rockefeller will find his opportunity in the man’s necessity, and the next tiling the people know Harriman has got another road. Bo the trusts are spreading all over the land. And they all seem to be “good trusts.” They are certainly “good” for those on the Inside. But an they good for the people? That is a question which the people alone can answer. We think that they will agree with us in thinking tha. such trusts as the steel trust ought not to have any protection at the hands of the Government, and at the expense of the people. Why should we tax ourselves to add to the already vast fortune of the Rockefellers, the Harrimans and the Morgans? Why should the price of steel rails be maintained at $28 a ton, when every one knows the.,, they can be manufactured for $12 a ton, and are sold abroad at from $18 to $20? These are questions which Republican glorifiers of the tariff do not condescend to discuss. But the people are thinking about them. They are willing that a man should make all the money he can, no matter how much, by the application of capital, industry, intelligence and skill, but through a deal with the Government which can only be operated at the expense of the people. We suppose Colorado Fuel and Iron will go the way that Tennessee Coal and Iron went, and that as a consequence Rockefeller, Harrlman, Morgan and the steel trust will be more powerful than ever. Thus it is that the merry work of “trust-busting" goes on.— Indianapolis News.

The New York. World says that Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan “have t.ssisted in hastening the day of honest publicity,” and regrets that President Roosevelt has never shown an equal interest in divorcing corrupt politics and corrupt businees. If Mr. Bryan has assisted in hastening the day of honest publicity he

has assisted by contributing to the political history of the United States the statement of a candidate for the high office of President that to publish the sources and amounts of contrlbutlons to his campaign fund would reduce his chances of victory at the polls. If we admit that Mr. Taft has helped to hasten the day we must credit President Roosevelt with having aided. He was the first to admit that Mr. Taft could not risk publishing the lists. Cannot Stand Hearst. (Indianapolis News.) Warner A. Ross, candidate of the Independt nee party for congress in the Indianapolis district, lias notified the Hearst managers that he will not mako the race and lias volunteered his services to the Democratic state committee. He is a lawyer, and four years ago was connected with the speakers' bureau of the Republican state committee. Ross charges the Independence party leaders here with breaking faith and failing to fulfill pledges made to him when he was being urged to accept the congressional nomination. He says the party managers promised to boom his candidacy, to pay his expenses and to spend money and effort in seeking to bring about his election. Since the nomination. Ross says, the party managers have done nothing, and have refused to listen to his complaints. “Then, too,” said Ross, “I became disgusted with the whole Independence movement. It is simply a one-man affair, dominated, controlled and financed hy Hearst for personal reasons. Character assassination seems to be the chief ohjoct, and this I disapprove of as I do of the other yellow journalistic methods employed on the political platform. My brief connection with the party revealed to me that I should have nothing to do with the movement.” The Hearst men are left in the lurch by the -withdrawal of Ross from the ticket, as It was with difficulty they succeeded In filling the nomination. Several leaders of organized labor were urged to allow the honor to fall on them, but each refused.

Equal to the Occasion. Michelot, the famous comedian, suf fered a great deal from the spite of tils colleagues and found it necessary to lie on the alert at every performance. On a certain occasion he had to scold a servant in one of Moliere’s plays, when the “claque,” which had been bribed by ids rivals, began to hiss. Michelot was by no means disconcerted. Giving the servant a couple of blows on the ear, not Included in the part, he extemporized as follows; “You vile scamp of a varlet, there Is nothing you think of! There you stand quietly listening to the vermin squeaking In the house and never trouble yourself to get the rat poison!” The effect of (ids sally was striking. The audience broke out in loud applause, and no subsequent attempt was made to hiss the actor.

Helping Him On. The somewhat elderly but still handsome anti well preserved bachelor Imd long been an admirer of the young lady, but never had dared to tell her so. At lust, however, he mustered courage to say; “Miss Jessie, I wish I were twenty years younger." “Why so?" she asked. "lb atiso then I should be bold enough perhaps to ask you to marry me.” With a charming smile she shook her head. "I should have to toll you no, Mr. Baxter,” she said. “If you were twenty years younger you would be—er—a great deal too young for me." lie took the hint- and a little while later the young lady too. Missed the Combination. He is one of those gushing old beaus who think flattery the key to favor with (he gentler sex. The other evening he was at a reception with his wife, and they met the handsome Miss Blank, at whom he lin'd a whole battery of compliments. Then, turning to his wife, he said, "It’s a good thing I didn’t meet her before I married yon, my dear.” “Indeed It Is,” she smiled sweetly— "for her. I congratulate Miss Blank.” — Exchange,

The Telephone. Professor Alexander Graham Itoll Is reported to have explained la a lecture Low he came to Invent the telephone as follows; “My father Invented n symbol by which deaf mutes could converse, and finally 1 Invented an apparatus by which the vibrations of speech could be seen, and It turned out to be a telephone. It occurred to me to make a machine that would enable one to bear vibrations. I went to an nurist. and lie advised me to take the human ear as tny model. He supplied me with a dead man's ear, and with this ear l experimented, and upon applying the apparatus 1 found that the dead man's ear wrote down the vibrations. "1 arrived at the conclusion that if I could make Iron vibrate on a dead man's ear I could make an instrument more delicate which would cause those vibrations to bo heard and understood. I thought If I placed a delicate piece of steel over an electric magnet I could get a vibration, and thus the telephone was completed. “The telephone arose from my attempts to teach the deaf to speak. It arose from my knowledge, not of electricity, but as a teacher of the deaf. Had I been an electrician 1 would not have attempted It.”

Cocoanuts Make Good Fuel. “Mine is rattier a curious business,” said a man who owns a small warehouse and shed down near London’s docks. "I deal in coconnut shells, and last year 1 sold more than 50.000 bags full of them as fuel. “I buy thousands of coconnut shells from stall keepers all over London, from confectioners, from coconnut oil extractors, from market sweepers and others. I won’t tell you the usual price, but sometimes I got them for nothing, for carting them away, in fact. 1 sell them at font-pence a bag. most of my customers being poor people, who mix them, when broken up, with ’slack’ coal. But in scores of hotels and large houses a quantity is bought to tie mixed with coals as lire lighters, for the Immense amount of oil in coconnut shells makes them take tire at once. Try it ami see. “I have rivals in the business in other parts of London, and some of the makers of patent (lie lighters mix large quantities of the shells in their cotnpoiltions.”—London News.

Rats on Ships. "Are rats destructive? Well," said a captain of a merchantman, “1 once knew them to get through £5.000 worth of stuff iii five days. "Japan does an Immense trade with China in cocoons, and the first time I carried such a cargo they were packed in sacks. When we got to Hongkong wo found that the rats had discovered that part of a cocoon was good to eat, and the hill for their board came to £5.000. The shipowners were sued for that amount; hut, tho packing being considered faulty, tho claim was disallowed. It was the first and last cocoon feast Hie rats had, for ever since Japan has packed cocoons In zinc lined cases. "Every time a ship gets back to Liverpool a rat catcher Is set to clearing out the ruts, tint by tho time we have loaded up again the rodents are every lilt as numerous. In some ports we use rat guards on the ropes, and the ship is always fumigated before taking a cargo of fruit or tea. But there Is no getting rid of them entirely."—London Graphic. Prepared For Contingencies. “We have lots of curious ‘last re quests’ from patients who are about to have operations performed,” said a nurse In the women’s surgical ward of one of the New York hospitals, "but I thought about the last word had been said ou tills subject one day last week when one of my patients before going to the operating room called me to her and asked me to write two postal cards to her husband so that she might sign them before tho operation. Cue was to read, ‘My dear husband, the operation was at 10 o’clock this morning. and 1 am getting along fine.’ The other one was: ‘My dear husband, the operation was at 10 o’clock this morning. and 1 am sorry to say I died. From your loving wife.’”—New York Times.

Her Tongue. They were talking of figures of speech. "Have you ever noticed,” said one, "how fond people are of vegetable metaphor; when they are dealing with a woman? Her cheeks are ‘roses,’ her lips are ‘chetry,’ her hands are always ‘lily’ hands, her mouth Is a ‘rosebud,’ her complexion Is ‘like a peach,’ and her breath is ‘fragrant as honeysuckle.’ ” “You’ve forgotten one,” said the cynic.” “Whats that?" "Her tongue. It Is a scarlet runner.” —Exchange.

Consistent to the Last. “If I was to commit suicide at sen.” said Weary Walker as he shifted the hay baud on his left foot, “I’d jump from th' bow of th* boat” “An’ why not from th' stern?" queried Llmpy Lnnnigan. "If I Jumped from th’ stern,” said Weary, “I couldn’t avoid th’ wash!”— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

♦♦♦»»»»»»■»»»»♦ »»»»»»»»»» | THE PEOPLE S I COLUMN Judge Tuft’s Greeting at Reelsvllle. For several days the news has been spread through the vicinity “That Judge Taft's special train would pass through Reelsvllle.” Everyone in the vicinity knowing of the construction of a new railroad bridge at this place knew that the Judge’s special train must pass through town slowly giving everyone a chance who | desired to see this great statesman J and choice of President Roosevelt. From reading the Republican papers I of the reception given the judge, we | could only expect that our small 1 town would be overflowing with peo- j pie eager of catching a glimpse and j hearing a word from so great a man. | But when the judge’s train arrived ! there was less than twenty-five peo- \ pie on the platform to greet, as the Republicans claim, “the next Presi-; dent of the United States, and the greatest friend of labor.” Judge Taft looking from his window saw the small crowd on the platform, so coming to the rear of his car he took off his hat and waved his hand to the j ctowd, but received no cheers nor j demonstration from the crowd at all. | No one ran after the train, no one climbed on to clasp his hand. A very cool reception indeed, but worse fol- ! lowed for one-half mile. Not one cheer for Taft could be heard. The Judge looked the crowd over and returned into his car possibly closing j his ears to the crys for Bryan, of Nebraska, and Kern, of Indiana. A Reelsvllle Citizen.

A Division of Purpose. Some years ago Hie Yankee schooner Sally Ann, under command of Captain Spooner, was beating up the Counecti:ut river. Mr. Comstock, the mate, was at his station forward. According to his notion of things the schooner .vns getting a "leetle" too near certain nud flats which lay along the larboard there. So aft lie went to the captain ind, with Ins hat cocked on one side, laid: “Cnp’n Spooner, you're getting a leeile too close to them flats. Hadn't you Letter go abeout?" The captain glared at him. “Mr. Comstock, jest you go for’ard ind tend to your part of the skuner. I'll tend to mine." Mr. Comstock went for’ard In high iudgeon. “Boys," he bellowed out, "see that that er mud hook’s nil clear for lettin’ jo.” “Aye, aye, sir!" “Let go. then!" he roared. Down went the anchor, out rattled the chains, and like a (lash the Sally Ann came luffing into the wind anil then brought up all standing. Mr. Comstock walked aft and touched his hat "Well, cap'n, my part of the skuner Is to anchor."—Everybody’s.

Men Should Brush Their Hair More. “Very few men brush their hair enough," said a downtown barber. “Fact. Most ills of the scalp can lie traced to that fault You see It’s this way: A man is generally in a hurry when lie dresses, nud he never takes time to brush his hair—simply smooths It down, generally only with a comb— md as a result dandruff Is allowed to iccumuinte aud trouble begins. Now, with a woman it s different. A woman has to carefully brush her hair at least Dnce a day. If she didn’t it would he i pretty mess. It's very length saves her, for In brushing It each day she gets out all sorts of impurities, dandruff and the like, all of which Is for her own good. Now, Hint Is the chief reason why fewer women suffer from dandruff than the unfortunate members of the opposite sox, and it is also the reason why the hair is a woman’s crowning glory even if she is fair, fat and forty. So brush your hair every morning thoroughly If you want to keep in the swim."—Philadelphia Record.
