An Associated Press dispatch says: Aimed at the domination of the so-called "tobacco trust," a bill directing the census bureau to pub- nsn statistics every six months as to the amount of tobacco held by dealers and manufacturers of the country was debated for hours in the house.

He said the tobacco trust knew "all the secrets of the crop and can pound down prices, while the farmer has no way to ascertain the amount of stock on hand in the warehouses." Republican Leader Mann and Former Speaker Cannon vigorously opposed the bill. Mr. Cannon declared that If any such bill were passed it should include all crops held by dealers and in warehouses. The punishment of manufacturers who withhold statis tics was also attacked as unconstitutional. jt i'"l .

Barry a prophet who is not without honor in his own country. The Star Barry's Star has for a generation been the guiding star of our hopes. When it comes to passing around the honors due for the recent victories of democracy in California one man and one paper may truly and without invidiousness be said to "lead all the rest," and that same is James H. Barry and Barry's Star. The Portland (Ore.) Labor Press (Labor). This man is now the Grand Old man of California. He never held an office. He led the van without insignia and without rank. His paper for over, a quarter of a century issued at a unauuiiu jubo, and In spite of threats and boycotts of the privileged classes that kept it a weekly, never ran out an issue without a demand for the initiative, the referendum and the single tax. No paper ever did more for liberty and democracy. "For the cause that lacks assistance; 'gainst the wrongs that need resistance" has been in spirit and in fact heading the columns for more than twenty five years. Not always right, not always wise, not always diplomatic, but always just, always for freedom, always for the workers, always for the great plain, common people, it uas done more for Calif orn a than any paper ever published in that corporation-ridden, special-privilege-cursed state. n .
