The anti-trust measure introduced

for its share of public attention, as
the following article from the Wash

cate: "Representative Shallenberger of
Nebraska addressed the general com
mittee of the anti-trust league in an
exposition of the subjects of his anti
trust bill, now pending before the ju
diciary committee of the house.
"Mr. Shallenberger's bill provides
for two new proposition in the reg
ulation of the trusts. First, that
there shall be a tax of 10 per cent on
the par value of the stock of all cor
porations engaged in interstate com
merce; second, that all corporations
which shall take out a federal inte!
state commerce license and complj
with the provisions of the law as to
full reports as to their methods of do
ing business and submit to a thorough
system of inspection by the interstate
commerce commission shall be ex
empt from the 10 per cent tax on all
their stock which represent actual
capital invested. But all watered
stocks shalUin any case pay an an
nual tax of 10 per cent on its face
value.
"The anti-trust league, after propos
ing some few minor amendments, un
animously indorsed Mr. Shallenberg
er's bill.
"It is understood that this bill also
embodies to a large extent the views
of Hon. W. J. Bryan on trust regula
tion by federal authority."

"I have no hesitation in saying that Dr.
"Miles Heart Cure is ail that one can wish it
to be. I was troubled with heart disease for
fifteen years. 1 have tritd many different
remedies but until I tried Dr. Miles' Heart

headaches and had tried your Pain Pills and
they were so effective I thought your Heart
Cure might help me. I would have attacks
at times so severe that I would be stone,

ispells I would be to all appearances dead,

Jean truthfully say that I am completely cured,

"I first felt the effects of a weak heart in
.the fall of 1896. I saw an advertisement in
the Sioux City paper in which a man stated
'his symptoms which seemed to me to indicate
1 a trouble similar to mine. I had a soreness
4n the chest at times, and in my shoulder, an
oppressive choking sensation in my throat

THURSTON'S THREATS
"Ked Itoit" Poet Trle to Intimidate the
Inhabitant of Hawaii
A copy of "Home Rule," published
at Honolulu, H. T., the issue of Sep
tember 11, 1902, shows that at the
time Elmer Stephenson, Tom Darnall,
Bud Lindsey, et al., were whipping the
brewers and saloonkeepers into line in
Nebraska, with dire threats if they did
not cease their "fight" on "our man
Mickey" that there'd be somethin' do
in' in the legislature this winter, our
own and only John Mellen Thurston
was over in Honolulu threatening the
people of Hawaii that If they failed
to elect a republican delegate to con
gress, no attention would be paid to
the needs or welfare of the islands
The following quotations from his
speech will show how delicately he
suggested that the election of a repub
lican delegate would be about the
proper caper:
"They (the republican administra
tion) take it strange that the islands
and the people here do not put them
selves in harmony, through the elec
tion of their delegate, with the re
publican party which is administering
the affairs of the people."
"I do advice you with all my
strength, if you wish to secure results
from the republican administration,
to send some man who will come with
a certificate of election from the re
publican party of the Hawaiian isl
ands." "You might as well ehd a frog to
chipper at the doors of the court of
St. James for what you want, as to
send to Washington a delegate who 1?
not one of and in harmony . with
either of the great political parties.
This not a political theory it is a po
litical fact."
"You .can send men from this island
to represent you there and they may
be ever so good and great, J care not
what he may be, or how energetic
their efforts, unless you send a man
or men who are in harmony with the
republican party in both branches of
congress, and with the republican
president of the United States, he will
accomplish little."
"Whatever you have achieved
through congress you have achieved by
the hard work of men you have sent
there without certificates of election
behind them."
"The United States government
ought not to have taken away the
revenues of your ports without giving
you something adequate in return. It.
should not have depleted your rev
enues unless it gave you something of
equal value from which" you could de
rive revenue to carry on your local af
fairs. I think it is only necessary to
have that question brought to con
gress and the proper appeal made
through the proper representative (i.
e., a republican delegate) to have this
matter straightened out,, and this im
position will cease."

WHATS THE MATTER
" The heart of the editor goes out to
the hundreds of honest toiling men
who write letters of encouragement
and tell of the conditions surrounding
them and their families. They come
from every state in the union. How
The Independent wishes it could help
them. But a tithe of these letters
can be published for want of space,
but. none of them are written in vain
for all that There was one in last
week's issue that was peculiarly pa
thetic from J. A. Huston of Beaver,
Ore He has five children and has
worked hard all summer in a logging
camp getting the highest wages paid
and yet, with the closest economy,
could not provide, free from debt, the
actual necessities of a wife and five
children. He said:
"Now, I wish you would tell me
what is the matter; do I need high
tariff or do I "need low tariff, or do
I need no tariff; do I need dear
money or do I need cheap money?
Our last campaign in this state
the little bugle-mouthed parrots
that stumped around here told
us we had too much money."
Mr. Huston has had to pay 20 cents
a gallon for coal oil. It could be fur
nished to him and give a fair profit
to the producer and all those handling
it at 10 cents. The other 10 cents has

a profit that increases his wealth to
fabulous proportions. The steel tools
that he has had to use in his work

amount. The sugar that he has bought
comes from another trust making tre

a milling trust that took more of his
wages. His meat was furnished by a
