The Boston Transcript, a Roosevelt Republican paper, says that Fairbanks’ candidacy is “stuff and nonsense” and that if he should be nominated his votes in the west would have to be looked for under the column beaded “scattering.”

Col. George Harvey, editor of Harper’s Weekly, has just returned from Europe. He says that the rulers of Europe find “a peculiarly pleasing sign” in what they regard as a reaction against Democracy in this country in threatening to give Roosevelt a third and fourth term and to subordinate self-government to idol worship and personal domination. But Col. Harvey need not be alarmed. The people of the United States will not give Roosevelt a third term, much less a fourth, even to please “the rulers of Europe.”

A special letter to the Indianapolis Star from a staff correspondent says that “Fairbanks is the idol of the Colorado Republicans.” And who are the Colorado Republicans? They are largely one Simon Guggenheim, who financed the campaign of the Rev. Henry Augustus Buchtel, uow governor, and who bought for himself a United States seuatorship. Guggenheim is the head of the smelter trust, a $100,000,000 concern that cheats miners in assaying and weighing ores, dictates rates to railroads, bankrupts competitors, breaks up labor organizations and indulges in general outlawrj’ because it has the money and the power. Of course “Fairbanks is the idol of the Colorado Republicans,” who are just now Simon Guggenheim and his smelter trust.

Now suppose the Standard Oil trust is fined $20,600,000, Do you suppose for a moment it will hurt the trust any or that it will even feel it? Not on your life. The oil trust will simply give another twist to the price of its product and the public will pay the fine, while the trust will go right ahead paying its 40 per cent annual dividends and violating the law. This “trust busting” can never be effective until the trust magnates are sent to prison, the same as any other law violator, and are subjected to the same prison fare and treatment that other prisoners must endure.. Notwithstanding the great increase in the production of oil and its by-products and the improvements in refining and handling it by reason of labor-sav-ing machinery, the consumer pays considerably more for it to-day than he did ten years ago.

There is a row in the office of the state bufeau of statistics growing out of the question as to who shall'be a candidate for the place next year. Miss Stubbs, who holds the office by appointment, is thinking of asking for a nomination and so are divers and sfindry deputies. In order to be free and follow his own sweet will, one deputy has resigned. The only way to keep these Republicans from fighting among themselves is to keep them out of office.

THE TRUSTS AND PRICES.

The ‘‘trust busting” antics of the present administration would be amusing were not the results so seiious a matter to the consumer of the trust products. In each and every case the price has been increased to the consumer. The trusts go right ahead, doing business at the same old stand and heaping up millions of dollars in dividends on watered stocks. The lumber trust has put the price of lumber so high that no one is doing any building now if he can avoid it. The retailer in all lines is making no greater per cent profit, if as much, as he did a few years ago, but generally speaking he will echo that old trust song about “increased cost of production” “scarcity of the supply,” etc. There is plenty of timber in the country and the “scarcity” that has all at once so affected the lum-‘ her prices is largely a myth. Every farmer knows that the price of hogs has ranged from 4 to 6 cents per pound for the past ten years and that a few years ago he could buy nice breakfast bacon and ham —trust products—of the retail butcher atl2| to 15 cents per pound. Now, while getting no more for his hogs, he must pay 25 to 30 cents per pound for the same meats! And the retailer is not to blame, either, for one has to pay as much or more by the slab or full ham in any of the big department stores of Chicago, where such articles are usually sold at a very small margin of profit in order to draw customers to other departments.

You needn’t tell the farmer that it is "scarcity of hogs” that causes this, because he knows better. He knows the hog grower is receiving no more for his hogs than he did when the finished products were but 12| to 15 cents per pound, and that there has been no material increase in wages or other expenses, any increase having been more than made up by improved and cheapened methods of handling. Yet the consumer must pay double what he did then! The same inquiry into other trusts will reveal a like condition of affairs, and the question arises, where will it all end? How long will the people submit to this order of things which is continually growing more and more burdensome?

Canadian Baseball Players. Jimmy Cookman. the Newark (N. J.) Eastern league, third baseman, puts up a claim that major league managers make a big mistake by not scouring Canadian territory when in quest of players. Cockman says that Canada Is full of good material, especially near Guelph, Ont., where he resides. According to statistics furnished by Cockman. there are but eight Canucks playing professionally in the United States, Including himself, all of whom have made good. From Guelph come Cockman, Greene, one of Jack Dunn's new pitching recruits, and Congaltou, Cleveland’s heavy hitting outfielder. From other parts of Canada come O'Hara, Baltimore’s fleet footed left fielder; Archer, catcher for the Detroit Americans, and Nig Clarke, Cleveland's star backstop. Crystal, the former Providence twirler, who Is now pitching winning ball for New Orleans, in the Southern league, halls from British Columbia, Where he is interested in a salmon Ashing enterprise. Harvey Williams, who was brought out by Ed Barrow, the Toronto manager, last season and who was farmed out to Albany this spring, Is a resident of Toronto.

Coaching From the Bench. Just how much a manager on the bench should be allowed to talk to his ball players is a matter of considerable controversy among umpires or others. There Is a wide difference between coaching and talking. Managers have no right at all to coach from the bench, but a perfect right to talk to the play* ers. It is a question if it were not better that no one be allowed to sit on the bench who is not In uniform. Then the manager could coach to his heart’s content If be desired to do so.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capital. Special Correspondence to The Democrat. At last it has been settled that the battle ship squadron is to be sent to the Pacific Coast. This decision has been announced officially by the Navy Department, and it is a little curious to see that on the very day of this announcement in Washington, Secretary Loeb at Oyster Bay was giving out an “authoritative statement” that no such movement was contemplated. Now of course the government would not keep so important a person as Secretary Loeb in ignorance of its intentions and there is but one inference to be drawn from the incident, namely that it was a misstatement that might have been characterized by a “shorter and uglier word.” If Secretary Loeb does not look out he will get himself into the same class with Assistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon, onetime partner in the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., of New York. Assistant Secretary of State Bacon is a very wealthy and fashionable young man and is just the sort of an understudy that Secretary Root wants to take visiting princes and other notables off his hands. But as a source of misinformation as to the things that are going on in the State Department, he has not heretofore been equalled. He it was who gave out the famous statement just after the Jamaica earthquake that there was no friction between Admiral Davis and Gov. Sweetenham. The same issue of the papers that printed his statement had all the correspondence of Admiral Davis and Gov. Sweetenham in an adjoining column. Also the day news was received of the killing of the Japanese seal poachers on the Island of St. Paul, Mr. Bacon announced to all callers that the report was entirely unfounded although the telegram conveying the information had just been sent to him by the Department"of Commerce and Labor where the news was first received. Mr. Bacon also announced three days ago that the story of sending the battle ship squadron to the Pacific was a complete fabrication. If Secretary Loeb is starting in to emulate this record, he is electing to travel in swift company. The journey of the battleships from the Atlantic to the Pacific will be the greatest naval movement ever attempted by this government and only equalled by the ill fated fleet that Russia sent to Japanece waters two years ago. The English squadrons in their war games around the British Isles, sometimes brings into play more ships, but for the size of the ships and the length of the voyage, the movement has never been surpassed. There were actually more ships in Rogesvensky’s squadron when he went from the Baltic to the Sea of Japan, but the squadron went in two sections, took an inordinately long time making the voyage, and was not the equal of the American fleet in fighting power at any time. The question of a route for the squadron has been discussed by the Naval Board at some length and a decision has been made in favor of Cape Horn. The route through the Suez Canal is about 1,000 miles longer than the trip around the Horn and beside this it would bring the squadron almost into Japanese waters and would look a little too much like a studied defiance of the Japanese public. Indeed, speaking guardly, that is what it is and the Japanese government so understands and acquiesces in the wisdom of the move. It is an indication to the people of the Pacific coast what this government can and will do in the way of protecting its interests should it become necessary, and it is an object lesson that the Japanese jingo party can watch from a distance and ponder on. t fl-

For tbe first time in the history of the Navy, there has been a “hunger strike.” This Sounds almost like Russia where the jail prisoners sometimes indulge in this sort of a demonstration. But in the present instance, it is among the cadets of the training ship Enterprise at New London. A lot of the cadets went ashore on liberty and while there they drew up a round robin and sent it to the commander on board complaining of the fare that was served them and of some other minor matters of discipline. There was no notice taken of their protest and they sent two of their number out to the ship in a small boat to see what was being done. The commander curtly sent them word that they could stay on shore or come back to the ship just as they bad a mind, but the most of them seemed to think that com-

ing back would mean their arrest and no good done by the strike, so they stayed on shore all night. It is fairly possible that the Navy Department may look very unfavorably on this breach-of discipline and there may be some more vacancies in the academy before the classes reassemble for their winter studies. It t + The Postoffice Department this week promulgated an order that will be a decided convenience to the country population. It provides simply for the transmission of special delivery letters by paying excesk postage on them without the necessity of a regular special delivery stamp. Frequently small stores and postoffices, especially in the country,. may not have any of the regulation blue special stamps on band. Blit the new order provides that if ten cents worth of stamps of any sort in addition to the regular letter fee are put on the envelope and then marked “special delivery,” the letter will be handled just as though it carried the regulation blue stamp. Those who avail themselves of this, privilege will have to remember however, that the words “Special Delivery” must be .written on the envelope, otherwise the surplus stamps will be wasted and the letter handled in the ordinary mail. t t t An appeal was made to the War Department this week to send troops from the nearest point in Alaska to the railroad camp near Valdez where two rival railroad .outfits are fighting. One of them is a firm by the name of Brunen and the other is a party in the employ of the Guggenheims, they of Smelter Trust fame. The Guggenheims want to cross the line of the Brunen road and they have already had a fight in which two men were killed and nine seriously wounded. If it were in a civilized community the trouble would be quickly put down, but in the wilds of Alaska all the lawless impulses of trust training can have full sway and the chances are that the government will have to step in before a stop can be put to the slaughter.

ALL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.

In no business does experience count for more to both the dealer qpd the customer than in the implement business.. Experience enables the dealer to know the value of goods. He can see at a glance whether they are artistic and will please a discriminating customer; in a word, whether thpy will satisfy buyers by giving first-class service. The same experience enables him to BUY RIGHT. Then he can SELL RIGHT. It is his larger experience, coupled with his thorough knowledge of the business, that has made C. A. Roberts, the Front street buggy man, so deservedly popular with the discriminating buyers of sightly vehicles. He served his time in a carriage shop way back in the 60s, when an apprentice had to know bis business before he could begin work for himself. He put in seventeen years of his life building and repairing wagons and carriages, and can make every piece in them. He began to sell implements in 1882, and every customer gets the benefit of this long experience every time he shows an article. That is worth something, isn’t it? He sells Studebaker and Page Bros’. Carriages and Buggies, and there are no better, and he has some other makes and styles. Studebaker Wagons, he claims, there are none so good. SUCCESS Return Apron or Litchfield Endless Apron MANURE SPREADERS. They are both all right. McCormick Binders and Mowers. YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, and Grain King Shoveling Boards, and there are more of them sold than any other make. You are going to need some of these articles this year, and you will always regret it if you do not go and see Roberts and see his goods before you buy. Paste this in your hat so you won’t forget to go. He will do the rest when you land. Don’t forget the place on Front street and-the name. C. A. Roberts, the Buggy Man.
