The Treiident on Trust.
President Taff's triiRt nifaflge to
congress will rsnk among bin strong
est official utterances. It elicits
even from democrats and opposition
republicans praise for its effective
ness. It is, hs to statement of fact,
clear and incisive, and as to convic
tion and conclusions, fearless and
emphatic, setting forth the adminis
tration's jKjllcles on the great sub
ject under discussion without equivo
cation. The president commands new
respect for rigidly adhering to bis
original endorsement of the supreme
court's Standard Oil and Tobacco
trust decisions, insisting, against the
tide of contrary criticism, that these
rulings do not depart from previous
judicial constructions of the law, but
that they rather serve to clarify and
emphasise JTormer dicta of the court
as 'well as the fundamental princi
ples of the. law itself. Mr. Taft has
never had any patience with the
plaint that big business could not
tell when It was violating this law,
nor with 'the unreasoning demand
for severer strictures on industry
than this act provided.
The mesauge, marked as it is by
a rare courage and candor, should
be reassuring to business, big or lit
tle, and to every Interest that wants
to obey the law. The president be
lieves himself right In giving prece
dence to the trust question instead
of to the tariff, as his democratic
friends would have him do. With
out disparaging the Importance of
the tariff before this congress, it
should not have superseded thin pre
sentation of the trust and trust de
cisions. The only reason Chairman
Underwood and the other demo
cratic leaders say it should Is be
cause they would like to embarrass
the president's tariff board, which is
yet to report, but It was not lncura
bent on the president to discuss this
report first.
Coit of Service.
"The consumer pays $1, tbe
farmer gets SO cents," says Secretary
Wilson, and asks who gets the dif
ference. This Is a favorite form of
argument among socialists and oth
ers who complain of the "parasites"
of society as consuming the Increase
In cost between producer and con
sumer. The fallacy is apparent to
any who will give tbe problem seri
ous consideration for a little time.
If the producer could hand his
wares directly to the. consumer, with
no Intervening agency, the CO cents
would cover the cost. But the con
ditions are such that this cannot be
done. The much-berated "middle
man" must be reckoned with. His
service is just as essential to the
consumer aa is that of the producer,
for' through him Is the distribution
of the produce of the farmer and
the manufacturer made possible.
And it is the cost of this service' that
adds to the price paid by the ulti
mate consumer.
Transportation In Its various
ramifications is tbe service that can
not be dispensed with In "bringing
producer and consumer together. All
the long list of charges that may be
grouped under this head are to ba
met; profits must be taken by other
than the producer, taxes must be
paid by all, and when the Items are
aggregated the wonder will be that
the consumer gets for a dollar that
for which the producer is paid but
SO cents. And the transportation
service is now so thoroughly organ
ised that Its efficiency may be ad
mitted. It la not improbable that la
some respects It is costing too much.
For example, the grocer who under
takes to deliver his wares over a
territory greater than half a mile
radius is carrying too great a load,
unless he adds the cost of the-additional
transportation. Similar fac
tors occur In connection with other
aspects of the problem.
Summed up, tbe extra cost to the
consumer Is due to the extra service
rendered. If the cost of living is to
be reduced, the cost of service must
be lessened, or the service must be
dispensed with.
Uncle Sam to Save Hunters.
The grim reaper reports prac
tically as good a harvest of hunters
this year as last. The season that
closed' November 30 couuted 100
killed and thirty-seven wounded, as
compared with 100 killed and
eighty-one wounded last year.
This annual loss of life during
tbe gaming season Is back of the at
tempt to devise some means of pro
tecting the ulmrodd from themselves,
and to this end tbe biological sur
vey, under direction of Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, has donned its
thinking cap to work out some sort
of plan that may be recommended to
the states for their adoption. It1 is
admitted that the best resulU will
have to be achieved through state
legislatures, but the federal govern
ment will help promote the good
purpose.
Records of this kind are always
necessarily Incomplete and more or
less approximate, but these ar exact
enough to show an appalling loss of
life from unnecessary causes. Men
eertslrJy ought not to be deprived of
the excellent sport of hunting, but
by a little sane caution that Is. a
little more than they habitually ob
serve they can protect life, better
without Impairing the sport snd they
should do that. The records show
that a Inrge proportion of these ac
cidents happen when hunters accom
pany each other, and another large
proportion through carelessness of
one kind and another.
Tbe country has made such ex
cellent headway with Its i-afe and
fane Fourth of July propaganda,
that it may well hope for success in
Its hunter protection movement, and
if that succeeds measurably, per
haps it will not be too much to ex
pert results In cutting dowij the
number of foot ball victims each
year.
The Rusiian Passport Treaty.
Already congress has before It a
bill Introduced by Senator Culber
son proposing the abrogation of the
American-Russian treaty of 1832.
This is tbe treaty which provides for
reciprocal rights' of residence and
travel on the part of the citizens of
these two countries, and which has
been ignored by Russia for forty-six
years despite persistent protest lrom
Americans and their government.
This treaty, under date of April,
1832, 'was negotiated by James
Buchanan, as American minister to
Russia under President Jackson, and
Count Nesselrode' of Russia, who
seeras to have been about the only
iiussian omciai ravorabie to such a
compact. It was the outgrowth of
Mr. Buchanan's mission to Russia to
negotiate a treaty of commerce and
navigation, and in its very first
clause the treaty took up the pass
port question. December 18, 1832,
It was signed by Buchanan and Nes
selrode and transmitted to Secretary
of State Livingston, who had sue
cceded Martin Van Buren in that of
flco, and February 22, 1833, It went
from President Jackson to the sen
aie, wuere ii was ratified. It re
ceived the signature of the president
on April 3, 1833, Just one year from
the time it was brought forth by
oucimnan ana iNcsseiroae, and on
May 11; 1833, became operative by
the final exchange of ratifications.
It was not until 1865 that any
question of the treaty violation by
Russia arose between the two coun
tries. From that day on every sec
retary of atate down to Mr. Root,
took most emphatic ground against
the Russian discrimination between
our cltleens. and Mr. Root's mild
treatment at first of the case In 1905
met with such a storm of remon
strance that he revised it and made
It more vigorous. It was on this
treaty violation by Russia that Mr.
Blaine, while secretary of state,
made one of his most memorable ut
terances, and it Is said to have so
completely covered the situation as
to have left little for his successors
to say.
' It Is no demand) on the United
States to abrogato this treaty that
It may punish Russian subjects In re
taliation, but as official notice to
Russia that it can no longer with
Impunity disregard our rights and
her own obligations.
As everybody knows, the dragnet in-
vaatlgatlon of explcwlon and fire, after a
lapse of month, left the case aim ply one
ot mystery. For half a year It was plain
to all observers that circumHtanceH were
favorable for the batching of a plot
agalnat aiich union mm as should be se
lected ail the object of Otis' diabolical re
venge. aompera' annual report to the
American Federation of Ijibor.
Well, the mystery, at leust, has
been cleared away nnd to all observ
ers It is now plain that tbe safest
plan Is to let the due process of law
take Its course.
In funoy, sunny Spain there is
nothing funnier, than right here In
funny,, sunny Nebraska. When an
Insurgent applies for an appointment
as postmaster and falls to land, the
cry is that he Is shut out because he
does not run with the machine. If
his application Is honored, and he se
cures the appointment, tho cry is
that he lias sold out to the other
side. The catch-'eni-comlna--eateh.
'em-going coon trap is not in it.
It strikes us that Injunction
against tbe Water board selling the
18,250,000 ot water bonds la en
tirely unnecessary, for have we not
the signed fend solemn assurance of
every member of the Water board
that not a dollar more of the bonds
will bo issued thau is absolutely
necessary to complete purchase of
the plant, and put It lu proper con
dition to supply present needs?
The sudden interest evinced by
our old friend. C O. Whodou. lu the
size of the pay check drawn by Clark
Perkins as secretary of the State
Railway commission, dates only from
the appearance of said Perkins ut a
meeting of Taft republicans. If Mr.
Perkins had only attended Mr. Whe
don's La Follette meetings, he might
have escaped so much limelight.
Champ Clark, so his press agent
says, has bctn. working Incessantly
for three years to bring about har
mony in the democratic party. That
explains, then, this entente cordiale
between Mr. Bryan and Mr. Harmon
and the various other leaders and
factions.
What's this? Tbe town council
at Ashland putting a ban on slot ma
chines and other games of chance?

DREAMING,
Tom Daly In Catholic Standard.
I hate to read of millionaires.
Because such reading seems
To hypnotise me utterly
And start me dreaming dreams.
Hnw many times I've figured out
What I'd be apt to do
If I were In that fallow's place
And had a million, too.
Of course I d use my fortune well.
More sensibly than he.
For I'd give ten er cent at least
To worthy charity.
Another ten per cent would go
To help along a few
Of my deserving relatives
Whose bills are overdue.
And then my duty to the church:
Of course a goodly share
Pay. twenty-five' per cent or so
Would be devoted there.
I'd give this latter quietly,
Insisting that my name
Must be withheld, that none might kno?
Whence this donation came.
I'd only let the pastor know
He'd have to know, you see
Becatien my name upon the check
Would show It was from me.
Another twenty-five per cent
Would do myself and wife;
The income we'd derive from that
Would keep us both for life.
Then sfter that well, sfter that
I dream away and plan
To spend still other ten per cents
To help my fellow-mnn.
And finally my dreaming gets
A bit confused, and then
I take a tumble and my feet
Touch solid earth again;
And common sense assures me, as
It stops tne with a Jerk,
I've wasted time enough to do
A dollar's worth of work.
