Tho Kansas state senate by a

creased since 189G. Replying to
Mr. Forakcr Mr. Hemenway said
there were employed on inspection
work 3,000, not including men em
ployed on the enforcement of the
pure food law and the meat inspec
tion law and the men, he said, had
all the powers of secret service men.
With the army of inspectors, Mr.
llRiTinnw.iv Raid, tho eovornment had
ample power to bring about tho de-
ceciion 01 crime aim 10 uring uiu
guilty to justice. He declared the
charge made by the president con
cerning the secret service 'was ab
solutely wrong and erroneous, and
never ought to have been made. The
department of justice, he said, had
ample power for ferreting out crimi
nals, there having constantly been
a goodly balance on hand of the ap
propriation of $500,000 made to in
vestigate trusts. Reading from a
statement of Secretary Garfield, to
the effect that congress had done
everything possible to improve the
character of the registers and re
ceivers of the general land office,
Mr. Hemenway said: 'I want to
pause long enough to congratulate
Mr. Garfield as being one man in the
present state of the public mind to
say that members of the house and
senate have co-operated in obtaining
proper men for these places. More
has been done in the suppression of
crime while this restriction in the
use of the secret service has been in
force than at any other time. I think
that when tho president of the
United States prepared this message
ho was misled by the head of the
secret service bureau, who had at
that time sixty-five men in his
bureau. I can 'inderstand how men
are ambitious to have great power,
and how the head of the secret ser
vice bureau would like to have all
the inspection service of the United
States under his control. That is
one of his dreams. The attorney
isoiioriu uia not oeneve in it nor
did the secretary of t.h itir.nrW nm-
the heads of other departments.' "
By a vote of 25 to 8 the Nebraska
senate voted to adopt the Carnegie

spoken of as Mr. Taft's secretary of
tho treasury.
Senator Kittridge, chairman of the
canal committee, has reported that
so far $171,000,000 has been spent
on the canal.
AN AGE OF TRUSTS
This is an age of trusts. Nearly
every branch of industry is now con
trolled by some form of combine.
One writer aptly portrays life in this
era of trusts, thus:
Pierced by the Pin trust.
Chilled by the Ice trust.
Roasted by the Coal trust.
Soaked by the' Soap trust.
Doped by the Drug trust.
Wrapped by the Paper trust.
Bullied by tho Beef trust.
Lighted by the Oil trufct.
Squeezed by the Corset trust.
Soured by the Pickle trus
This is indeed a "trustful" life.
