President Havemeer of the sugar rust stated to the Industrial commission in le that the tariff is the I mother of trusts, but now comes the J belated opinion of Attorney General i Mooov that "not the tariff but the railroad rebate is the mother of trusts " Whichever of these impor- ' tant Republican opinions Is th right I one i not of much consequence, for all Impartial investigators are agreed that the tariff and railroad rebate , are both tJpsjatj related to trust plundering and either may well be the ' mother and the other the father of these predatory corporations Hut the chief thing is to remember that the Republican party has been standing ! pat while the trust fostering was in cubating and now the trust infants have grown to the stature of giants the Republican party is still continuing to prevent legislation that 11! take trorn the trusts the monopoly they enjoy through tariff protection. There is no escape for the Rcnub- , Mean leader, from President to state j legislator, from the fact that since coming into power in 1S9T and enact- : ing the Dingley tariff, that the trust era has accompanied that trust fostering law Nor can it ,be denied that since the tariff was so greatly in- ' creased in 1897 it has been accompanied by a similar advance in the price of nearly ail commodities, until now the cost of li.ma. according to IVin's and Rradstreet's index flews, is close u;on SO per cent higher than befor- the DfafJsI law was passed. As the Republican leaders have taken all the credit for any advantage to business from the trust boom and have even attempted to appropriate the blessing from favorable season and resulting good crops, ther must in ' return he held responsible for the enormous increased cost of living and

creased outgo. T.e Republican leaders must also explain to the farmers why the price of wheat and other agricultural products has fallen under the trust fostering tariff, which they

A number of newspaper, both oi & bemocretic and Republican faith, are critUistng President Roosevelt on account of his Panama trip Many different reasons are given for this criticism, but none seems of importance tnough. unless thwre are legal obstacle to the president's absence from the country and doubtless that has Oeen investigated by the law officer jf the government. So why should not President Roosevelt visit Panama lie mows that but little has been so far tccompllshed towards th work of utlding the canal, although there ha een a very large expenditure of noney. He is told different tales by

j iifferent men of conditions there and 5 wants to aoe for himself, by going ver the ground. It would seem he allowed himself much too short a time '.o discover what la the matter at Pannus, for in three or four days he cou.d anly have a glance at the surface and it that with everything put In the best shape possible, to prepare for hi coning. i The criticism of Poulfney Blgelow, n which the administration Joined, for lenouncing many of the conditions ex.sting at Panama, after only a few ' lays' examination, will apply to Presilent Roosevelt and more so. for he will have no opportunity to make Inquiries and personal investigation of abuses, under the surface, as Mr Blgelow did. The president ha been charged by congress with the construction of the canal; he had all he could lo before that was added to his other luties and necessarily had to rely upon men he has appointed to do the . work. He is hampered by an unwleldly and apparently worthless commission and has made bad appointment, and there is a serious question if the present officials are competent, or as effective as could be found. The fact Is the president should ask congress to relieve him of the responsibility of the conat ruction and place the matter under the supervision of the secretary of war and the am y engineers with such assistance from civil engineers as is found necessary Already the president has discovered that he and the men he has appointed ar Incapable of the management of the labor question and have been compelled to let the work by contract. Who so competent and reliable to oversee the contractor as the army en gineers They have had experl -nee with the construction c f the Sault Ste.

LIKE A FAIRY TALE.

Th Story of Postum Cereal In Words and Pictures.

Th growth of the Potuna Cereal Co. 1 like a fairy tale, but it Is true. ery word of it "The Door 1'nbolted" Is the title of a charming little booklet just Issued by the Company which tells, and illustrates, the story of this remarkable growth. It takes the reader from th little whit barn in which the buslnesa was started Jan. 1. 1845. through the palatial offices and great factory buildings of the White City'' that comprise Postumvtlle, Uatüe Creek. Mich. The little white barn. o carefully preserved, is a most interesting building, for it represents the humble beginning of one of the country's greatest manufacturing enterprises of today, an enterprise that haa grown from this little barn to a whole city of factory buildings within but little more than ten years. No less interesting Is the quaint official home of the Postum Cereal Co. The general office building of Mr. Post and his associates is a reproduction of the Shakespeare house at St rat fordon Avon, and upon the house and Its furnishings haa been exiended vast urn of money, until the rooms are more like the drawing rooms of the mansions of our multimillionaires than like offices. That Mr Post has believed thoroughly In the idea of giving to his employes attractive and healthful work rooms is proven not only by the general office building of the Company and its furnishings, but by his factories as well, and of all of these things this beautiful little booklet tells the Interesting story It will be sent to anyone on request.

A Tooax Birthday Party. Wishing to especially honor a frieno whose birthday comes this month a number of girls conceived the idea of clubbing together and giving one gift the birthstone which in this instance is the topai. So a ring containing this beautiful clear yellow stone was set Ir a circlet to be worn on the little finger It was tied to the stem of a great am br hued chrysanthemum with thif quotation. "The Topai." "Emblem ol friends and lover true." The candle and shades were yellow the china was 'gold band" and the cake was frosted in yellow, set in flaming circle of golden candles. Th salad was much enjoyed, being made from hard boiled eggs cut to represent daisies, and the cheese wafers w.-r baked to just the correct shade of gold en In fact, the hostess said that ye low. or for the time being, "topaz ' was quite the easiest color scheme she hac" attempted.

Woman Suffrage. The result of the election In Colorado. Idaho. T'tah and Wyoming doe not make Democrats warm up to the granting of woman suffrage ia other state. In Colorado the result show that a large majority of the women who voted indorsed the corrupt m th ods employed by the Republican when they counted out Alva Adam, the Democratic candidate for govern or two years ago. and refused to right this great wrong by voting for him this year. They have also voted for a legislature that wHl elect a trnt magnate to the United States senate, with no other known qualifications but the cah he had advanced to cor rupt the voters. In Idaho there was a clean cut Issue on Mormonism. but here again the women voters did not protest against the Republican alliance with Mormonism. but seemed rather to indorse it. In T'tah the Mor-

! mon women evidently voted with their ' husbands and as the Mormon ehoreb II allied with the Republicans th I Democratic ticket was defeated. In

Wyoming the cormpt ring that controls that state was again kept in

j power by the aid of women voter Not one of the four state that havo

granted woman suffrage shows Democratic leanings, which should make Democrats in other states, when that issue arises, refuse to sanction iL

Camera Pictures Much More Than Mechanical Reproduction. Few persons could be found who would deny the claims of photography to rank among the fine arts, when skillully used and properly conti idled, since the photography of of today Is something more than a mechanical re production The individuality of the photographer rs being expressed in

his work almost as much as is that of i the painter. The painter still has the : advantage, for whi!e he may give us an impression fuller that? that made by nature upon the eye. the photographer j can deal only with that which Is obj served with such unerring fidelity and I skill by a mechanical eye Compost j tion Is therefore one of the necessary i principles to the photographer, who thus supplies the mechanical eye with

a mind, yet he must study lighting at different hours of the day and varying weather conditions that he may know th best effects to be obtained. Many otherwise successful photographer need to realize that scientific accuracy is not necessarily artistic tnrth, so that, while one actualize, th definite sharpness may be softened and the effect enhanced.
