Is it not a credit to Mr Clone
that he is careful to be present at
important meetings of the board
Knows he is watchful for the tntei

bitn, it is one thing to criticise and

inune, or wholly deserves to be, from
fair criticism and we do not hesitate
perhaps with too much freedom, U
tndu'ge when the occasion seems to
require, but private criticism and
veiled abase are different Matters.

NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON
The greatest anxiety prevails
among thinking men in the adminis
tration, including the lenders of Van
grees, regarding the forthcoming de
cision of iho Supreme Court of the
United States in the case of the
American Tobacco Company. If the
decision of the lower court is bus
tained it will mean the appointment
ot a receiver for the tnhaooo trust.
The directors of that great corpora
tion will be discharged from furthur
responsibility and a receiver will as
sume charge of its affairs, not lor the
purpose of administering them in the
interest of stockholders, but f x the
purpose of winding up the affairs of
the company of disposing of its a
sests, presumably to the highest, bid
der and of casting adrift on the flnan
oial sea the integral parts of that
great aggregetion of concerns This
will inevitably result In fearful loss
to those who own the securities . of
the organization. Moreover, the af
firmation by the court of the of last
resortof the principle involved wl.l
leave the hdministratiun no alterna
tive but immediately to institute
suite against practically every con
cern which has been constructed on
similiar lines. One does not need to
be a pessimist to see a oonditiou bor
dering on industrial chaos as a result
of the disintegration of tbe chief cor
poratlnn) of the country. Bat. if they
are found to exist in violation of the
law they must come down and it is
President Tsft's belief, that U is far
better to see some chaotic conditions
for a short time than to allow tbe il
legal corporations to obtain a grnsp
upon thcoouutry which might never
be shaken off
There is no likehood f.iat the ad
ministrations federal corporation
measure will receive favorable action
by either bouse of Cjngress al this
session. There has been some re
lnctanceon the part of the lead.-rs to
admit this fact but they have finally
concluded that there is no good end
to be served by concealing it Two
factors contribute to this situation.
First it would be tmpossiblo to
adopt legislation of such far-reaching
importance in the face of determined
opposition ol the minority. It would
be talked to death in the Senate ev
en Were it possible under whip and
spur to obtain a majority for it in the
Hoose In the second place there is
grave question regarding the polit
ical expediency of buco legislation.
Democratic administrations regard,
ed the Sherman'law as a dead letter
and fiaalty it fell ti a Republiaan ad
ministration; the law came under di
rection of Philander Knox the then
Attorney- general and he recusitated
it and ftecured for it such Judicial In
terpretation as gave it force. Since
the decision in tbe Northern Securt.
ties case Republican administrations
have been seeking assiduously to en
force the statue. The wisdom of
seeking now, at a time when the end
sought seems ebout to be attained, to
mitigate its efiects is seriously ques
tioned, especially in view of the pres
ent temper of tbe people. Were tha
only sufferers those managers of
great combinations who have brot
them into being there would be no
hesitation whatever about permitting
them to take the consequences of
their own lawlessness bnt the anxi
ety that is felt is due to a vast num
ber ol Innocent people whom it would
be impossible to save from punish
ment intended tor a few.
Americans generally little realize
the important part which the Nation
al Red Cross may play in the diplo
matic affairs of this nation. That
the services rendered by that organ
isation at Blueflelds contributed ma
terially to allay the resentment
aroused among the supporters of Ze
lays by the aotion of the United
States hi s become obvious. That the
generality and timeliness of the as
sistance rendered by the Red Cross
to tbe sufferers from tbe earthquate
in the vicinity of Nomina has served
more strongly to cement the bond of
friendship between this country and
Italy is a well recognized fact. But
a recent and unexpected develop
ment of this power for good has at
traoted the attention of those mem
bera of the administration who have
to do with the adjustment of tariff
relations nnder the Payne law and
who learn that because of prompt and
effective assistance rendered to those
afflicted by the Paris floods, there N
a growing sentiment in France that
the government at Paii-i should stand
ready to make all reasonable conces
sions to the end that there shall be no
tariff war between that couDtry and
the United St tes. Such ends have
of course, been ns little contemplated
as the catastrophes which called f irth
the ministration of the Rod Cross
but that does not mnke them less
welcome.
It is planned that the Investiga
tion of the cost of living contemplat
ed by the Senate will not includa
"hearings" from a great multiplicity
of witnesses. The existing insfru
mentalities of the government will
ba utilized to procure, the facts. Tiiri
great army of employes from the Do
partnieiit Agriculture will be used to
procure and present in avtili b'e from
the facts regarding prices received
by the initial producer and to this
nrmy may also be entrusted the col
lection of data regarding the piio s
at which such products are sold by
commission men. The Department
of Commerce and Labor will ba used
to secure the cost of Inannfuctuie,
selling prices at the mill and so on
In this way it Is believed the infor
mition can be quickly procured and
an analysis and report made brf.n
Congress adjourns. Senator Lodge,
the author of the Senate resolution,
is of tbe opinion thHt the Investi
gation will show that the prices thru
out the world hnve Increisel as a
result of the Increased production of
gold.
LIVE STOCK
ON
RANGES
Absolutely Confidential
Treatment of the An
swers to Census
Enumerators.
Tbe United States Census Bureau
is making extraordinary piepara
tions to ascertnin the approximately
exact number and value of live
stock on the ranges in the United
States on April 15 nrxt, the date of
tho live stock inventory, as required
by the aot of Congress providing tor
the Thirteenth Decennial Census.
Fearful that for one reason or un
other the live stock raisers may be
deterred from freely stuting the nuin
ber and value of their holdings, the
Censns Bureau is exerting unusual
efforts to figure, the. ranchmen and
f irmers, especially of tbe western
range states, that their interests,
whether pirsonal or corporate, can
not possibly be affected in any way
by their (rank and full disclosure of
their live stock possessions. The in
formation gathered hy the Census
Office is held strictly confidential not
only in respect to the faot that under
no circumstances is it es-er imparted
to any one not connected with the
Census Office, but in respect to, its
ever being to any other branch of the
Government.
ARBUHANI E OF BKCRKCY.
'In behalf of the Census Bureau,'1
said Assistant Director William F.
Willoughby, "I can give as positive
assurance of the confidential treat
ment of information called for by Ihe
line stock questions in the general ng
ricnltural schedule as I could if a
confidence were to be imposed uiwn
me personally and privately. The
Cent us Bureau is concerued only in
the colkctiou and publication cf sta
tistical facta. The spirit of every act
of Congress providing for the vari ius
decennial cen.-uses have been, and is,
that the information as to individuals
firms, and corporations Is to le given
inviolable secrecy. It is as much
privileged information" as that Im
parted by a client to a lawyer, by
pitient to a doctor, by a dying man
to a miuister. It can not even be
Imparted to another brunch of the
Federal Government, no matter
h iw much tbe information may be
desired. No court ever has or evi r
will ignore this immunity' fi 'in per
sonal or business involvement be
stowed iu return lor information re
quired by United States Census in
quiries. To do oilier wise would im
pair, if not wholly destroy, the scien
tific' efficiency of tbe census work. So
far as the live stock census is con
cerned, the bureau, following fair
impartial, and unbiased methods,
qu'ckly separates the person, firm, or
conioration from the faots lurnished,
and private or Corporate identity iu
connection with any census data re
mains forever sealed and sacred in'
the great safes of the Census Gllice."

THE TRAMP'S GRIEF
I've had fortune, friends
I've girdeJ the zone and squandered my wealth
I've been a "hall fellow well met" as they say,
I've wined arid I've dined and put up the pay,
I've ben kind to the needy, I never said "no"
When asked for assistance, I'd always bestow.
But now I am homeless, I roam through the street
Ragged and hungry, each cne thut I tnwl
Shuns me, not e'en pity Is seen In the face
For a poor wretched creature fallen Into disgrace,
Yes, I said disgrace, though never a crime
Have I yet committed, although my last dime
Was spent and temptation, I shudder to say
Often whispered Its tarings to me day after day.
I've knocked at the door and asked for some bread
At the very same mai sion (all my pride has fled)
Where once I was weloou.ed. The answer was "no,
Be rff look for work, you idle tramp go!"
' I know I'm a tramp bnt it happened this way:
1 had saved something for a "wet ivy"
My best friend was in trouble, he begged in God's name
To relieve him, he gambled and was then brought to shame
He wee sentenced tor prison and asked me far bail
I had little left but tn keep him from jail
I gave it, he absconded and that was the end
Of my cash and my trusting and my quondam friend
I have learned wisdom, but oh too late,
There is no use talking nor holding debate
Over my folly I must suffer, and do;
So let me a little advioe give to you.
If you have as I had, friicdF, fortune and health,
Don't trust to your friends, keep tight bold of your wealth
The tear of nn- atslon Ht it not mt 1st yoor eye
But keep fn in your fawners aloof, "high and dry"
For after they've used you as their best "trump"
They'll laugh at and eroff you and call yon "a ohutnp,''
And then if you're needy cr ill or old
A Ld ask for a pittance, you'll be left In the cold.
Well now to my pallet it is In a Bhed,
I've a pillow of store lo put under my head.
An old worn carpet to sbe'ter from air,
That whistles and blows through the crevices there
I'll sleep soundly and dream perhaps of the past
And forget I'm a vagr.iiit and an outcast,
Without hope or comfort it one ray of light
To guide the old tramp but no matter Good night!
Cecilia A. Cdllen.
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
It is interesting to note that
Great La!t Lake of Utah is rising
and is now higher than at any pe
riod in the memory of white men.
A few years ago scientists claimed
that it was drying np and would
soon disappear.
TLe present rising is not caused ty
heavy rains bjt according to Indian
tradition, it has a regular rise and
fall ut Intervals of thirty or forty
years.
It is said that tbe Great Lakes
also have a gradual rise and fall,
but this is so slight as to be hardh
noticeable.
