You are expected to send the money to this office, . be EDITORIAL, TARIFF reform will be tenderly hand- led in Roosevelt's forthcoming message —the trusts have told him what's what, IT is plainly evident now that Roose. velt will not tackle the trusts even if you tied one to a tree and asked him to shoot it. - Up! up! go the prices of iron and steel, coal hard and soft, the farmers implements, feights, etc.—all up so high thdt consumers become dizzy looking to keep sight of them, THOSE republican jokers who declared there were no trusts,can now step on the platform and explain to the people why | four members of Roosevelt's cabinet are for curbing the trusts and four for letting them alone. A queer split in the cabinet if there are no trusts, THE Trust question has caused a split in President Roosevelt's Cabinet. Four members— Knox, Hitchcock, Wilson and Shaw-—approve the President's determi. nation to reccommend the enactment by Congress of strong anti-Trust and anti railroad combination legislation. The other four members—Root, Hay, Moody and Payne—urge the President to pur sue a conservative course. They believe it unwise to antagonize great corporate interests. It is predicted the President will simmer dosn at the bidding ot the trusts. - Jupces Stowe and Collier at Pitts- 1 burg on Tuesday banded down a decis ion regarding the compulsory education law of that is of all These judges declare that the provisions of that act do not ap- 1901 interest to schoo! boards. ply to boys over 13 years of age who are employed at home, find base their deci sion on that section of the law which reads as follows : "This act shall ply to any child between the ages of 13 and 16 years who can read and write the English language intelligently, and is regularly engaged ment Ol serv in any useful employ: ice Ix his annual report Secretary cock, of the Inte attention to vast Department, call % assumed an that has proportions in recent vears unlawful the fencing in lands Thousands of miles have surrounded by barbed wire of public square been fences, Amazing mngen ing the finest grazing grounds under control of huge cattle syndicates.

Possession in such cases is nine points of the law, and even the most vigorous measures by Government | agents are of no avail to restore the | land to rightful ownershp. —— CONGRESS meet on the 1st of December—which is Monday next, Then the President and the republicans will have an opportunity to show to the country how earnestly they are on the side of the people in curbing the trusts and for reforming the tarriff which has bred the trusts and is the sole nourish. ment of these outrageous monsters. The supposition is that delay, postponement and shilly shally, will be the action, with loud professions of devotion to the peo ple, ending in letting the trusts and the tariff alone to the great delight and bene. fit Jof the greedy and all devouring money power. We will see and will only be too much delighted to find our. selves disappointed in what we fear will be a shirking of duty on the part of con. gress. Only a fear of the public con. demnation will drive congress to a per. formance of its sacred duty towards the tolling masses, will - A ———— Will Advance Freight Rates. The Pennsylvania railroad and other leading lines will advance freight rates on January 1, 1903, and preparations to that end are already under way, What the advance will be has not been deter. mined upon, and it was stated that wo conference had been held on the subject, but that a number of them would proba. bly be held before the advance is made. This means that the general public will have additional expense to meet, It will affect everybody, indirectly, First the shipper pays the advance on goods he handles, but finally the consumer must foot the a Men t Suctease in wages to employees, w near what the railroads will get from addi tional freight charges.

In no other way can the merchant reach the people he wants to patronize his store $0 gheaply or so effectively. In the re. spectable newspaper there is nothing to offend good taste, into the homes of the people, where all members of the family read the adver. tisements. The paper is purchased by The advertisemeht has a value {that no other form of advertising pos | sesses, — McKeesport (Pa.) Times. ments are a part of his purcha | newspaper DISCARD PROGRAMMES Keokuk, fact that does The have business men of Ia., awakened to the pro gramme advertising not pay. A committee has been around among an agreement that the merchants would not advertise any more in programmes Not only that, but they have placed the ban on other this minor of character whichet have become burdensome, such as the purchase of tickets for church socials, dances, trolley parties and the like WASTEFULNESS OF IT. Of course there is nothing to prevent merchants from advertising in bles and the like, but if they will attempt to trace results from that sort of adver. tising they will see the wastefulness of it.—Printers’ Ink. Miners’ Strike Problems, Again negotiations between operators and representatites of the miners have taken on a new and interesting complex- on. Independent operators insist that the experiment of trying to reach an | agreement by mutual and conciliatory {effort would mean a recognition of the Miners’ Union, to which they say they | will not consent President Baer, answering a the request for a conference of raiiros sentatives, Mitchell ‘the general judgment of the operators and and his associates, declares that independent operators, is that it will be best for the present to go on with the hearing."

George F. Hoy, of Hublersburg, from August 25 to November 20 inclusive ship. ped from Hublersburg to Mill Hall via the Central railroad of Peunsylvania 74 carloads of apples, weighing 1,772,850 pounds. The apples were purchased by two men who acted as agents for Mr. Hoy. They paid to the farmeay about $19,500. These apples were not shipped to Pittsburg as has been erroneously stated. Not one carload was sent to that city. From now on Mr. Hay will handle grain and baled bay and will continue to distribute money amoung the farmers, HOW IT WORKS. By advancing wages and freights simultaneously itis now estimated that the railroads will put about $50,000,000 more in the pockets of their employees and about §120,000,000 more in their own, leaving them a clean net profit of $70,000,000. The general public should be thankful that the railroads are sot frequently seized with these fits of gen- erosity, Injured Men Improving.
