How the so-called Money trust
must quake and tremble at tbe
thought of being Investigated under
conditions presaging that ordeal.
Congressman Henry of Texas Insisted
upon a special committee to conduct
the inquiry, but Chairman Under
wood, Speaker Clark and others, pre
ferred to commit the work to the
standing committees and the house
so voted.
It is recorded as a pitched battle
between the Bryan and anti-Bryan
forces In tbe party, with the antls
winning. Tha Intimation ot Mr-
Henry, and the natural inference. Is
such ss to put Speaker Clark and
Chairman Underwood in the unfavor
able light of opposing and seeking to
obstruct a free and nnbiased investi
gation, an Investigation tkat will
really come to sny serious revelation
ot ugly facta.
Tbe committee that will hava thla
job In hand consists of twenty-one
members, fourteen democrats and
seven republicans, nnd all but four of
the fourteen democrats are of simon
pure southern stock. Yet Mr. Henry,
and, it is said, Mr. Bryan, hesitate to
entrust this work to them, evidently
fearful of a whitewash. And the
Bryan men cits the opinion ot others
to sustain their own position. For
Instance, former Congressman
Charles N. Fowler .ot New Jersey
wired to Mr. Henry, "It will be a
crime against tha American people
not to pass your resolution." Yet
this "crime" was promptly com
mitted. A wider breach between Bryan and
Underwood and Clark may be looked
for as a result of this skirmish. Con
gressmen Henry denied that hewae
inspired by Colonel Bryan, but the
contrary belief obtains, just the same.
and not vlthout'evidencs to justify
It Whatever the outcome. Chairman
Underwood may expect the Bryan op
posite nto come dowa npon him
stronger than ever In his presidential
aspirations. He may expect to be
classed as the right arm ot Old Money
Bags, and It will be up to him ta
meet tha charge. Al) of which shows
how lndlseolubly compact and united
are the forces of democracy.
School Board Finances.
Irrespective of bookkeeping tech
nicalities, behind which refuge ts
taken, tha disclosure ot overdrawn
school board accounts will serve a
good purpose In directing attention
to the Bead of putting the brakes oa
expenditure ol school funds.
Tbs tact is that tha outlay of
money by tba school board has la
recent lean fcrreased altogether dis
proportionately to the growth of
school attendance, and the per capita
of public school Instruction has
reached tha top notch of the high
cost of living scale. Whether this re
sult has been produced more by one
thing or another, It la less striking
than that tha grand total of expend
itures baa outrun the revenues and
the legal safeguards designed to
prevent thla condition has proved ineffective.
' The Bea has several times endeav
ored to sound a note of caution on
the. financial management ot the
school board. There ta no use crying
over spilled milk, but tha need of
drawing tha Una .on over-expansion
and new fade, and ot enforcing strict
economy within the field already oc
cupied ts mora urgent now than It
has been for a long time. The claims
of ths school children and of the
teaching force ahould always be fairly
considered, but without overlooking
tha burden which rests on the tax
payers who support the schools and
have to furnish the money to toot
the bills and pay off the bonded debt
, ' The Zst and tha Hen.
According to tbe very best author
ity, this high price of eggs is sll a
matter of scientific poultry raising.
When people treat their hens as they
deserve to be treated and get Into
the mlnutla of Intensive chicken cul
ture, there will be no tO-cents-s-
doien-for-eggs problem, because
there) will be no scarcity of eggs.
For authority, all, egg consumers
are respeotfalry directed to tba es
teemed Farm and Fireside', the egg
editor of which unhesitatingly de
clares this to be the true explanation.
He goes further Into the question nnd
says that too much la expected ot the
hen; that when aha Is feathering she
cannot lay eggs abundantly. She
needa a certain amount of vitality
and cannot meet the drain on her vi
tality to lay an egg every, day during
the season that she ts putting forth
her new coat of feathers. . Now, the
remedy la for poultry people to read
just their i schedules of hatching
chicks, also opea their bounties to
sll the wholesome feed the chickens
can eat, never akimping them It they
are expected to lay. eggs; pullets
hatched la April will make good lay
era la November If properly fed.
As a matter of serious fact, this Is
doubtless good advice. If ths
abnormally high price of eggs Is due
to the Incorrect way ot handling
hens. It assures us that there is no
Intricate fictitious problem Involved.
It should be a simple thing ta feed a
chicken all It wants to est It the
egg market ran be so readily read

The Trail of the Del ease Fond.
Reputable union labor men must
now realise the hazard they took la
raising $225,000 for tha defense of
the McXamara brothers. At the time
money was being contributed
friendly warnings were uttered
against gathering too lavish a fund.
which would certainly Involve poten
tial evils of a grave character. It
was more than once pointed out that
only such amount as would be
needed to defray reasonable and
legitimate fees and expenses at the
trial should be donated. But such
advice or suggestions only tended to
irritate many of the leading union
men, who allowed their sympathy to
run away with their Judgment In as
suming the responsibility ot ths Mc
Namaraa' guilt
It la embarrassing now for tha
executive officers of tha Federation
ot Labor, through whom this fund
was transmitted to Attorney Darrow,
to be' called on to explain Its disposi
tion. No need to Impute dishonesty
to sny federation officer to see that
8ecreary Morrison Is prompt to ex
plain all disbursements, and, grant
ing full credence to his word, the
fact yet remains that out In Los
Angeles some of this money was ob
viously snd admittedly spent for un
lawful purposes. Without so prodigal
a fund the charges of jury bribing
would not have found so easy accept
ance, nor would those engaged In tbe
defense fall so quickly under sus
picion. After sll, some good lessons havs
been learned from this astounding
ease, and If so, perhaps tha price
paid la money is not exorbitant

Alleged junketing and attendant
Inattention to business of republican
ststs house officials Is attracting at
tention of democratic fault-findera.
Whea the officea were filled by demo
crats, who wars likewise skating
around tha country, no complaint
eama from thla source, which, how
ever, would not palliate a real abuse.
It ts not to be assumed, however,
that ths people want their executive
officers to become mere clerks sitting
st a desk so many hours a day. To
perform their duties properly they
must keep In touch with the people
as a whole, and familiarise them
selves by personal Inspection and ob
servation with tha state Institutions,
snd general operation of the laws.
It la only excessive neglect of pub
lie business for personal pleasure or
profit which should eubject aa officer
to criticism st this sort .
That proclamation demanding that

KEARNBT, Neb., Pea T.-To the Ed
itor of Tbe Be: I sse an article tat The
Bee asking "why people cannot buy their
goods at home Instead of sending to
mall order houses for them" and giving
as a reason that the clerks era addicted
to discourtesy. But that U not the rea
son, or anything like ths reason. One
reason Is thst tba catalogue houses sell
a better quality of goods for at least B
per cent less, aad ths goods are fresh
and full weight and aa good or better
than they are represented to be,
And whan a farmer has anything to sell
ths local stores offer the very lowest
that la poealble, and ta that way offend
the seller ef produce and he sends te the
catalogue house for say geod-slsed hill
of good, because he thinks he has a
grievance 1 have known ot merchants
who have bought farm produce for one-
halt the price that they sold it for.
Another reason Is the catalogus houses
salt for cash aad tbe good payers don't
hare to pay for tbe goods that the bad
payers get The town or country mer
chant says In defease: "I trust you whan
you are abort of money, and you should
give me your business when you bav
cash te pay." The country merchant
does not trust out his goods, to anyone
except those he thinks are as good as
cash. Ha doesn't trust the real poor man
at alt Men who fall to pay their star
bills are not the reel poor men, hut men
considered good whan the goods were
sold, and I repeat and there Is nothing
more true than the real poor meu who
work by the day and don't always nave
work. They are not the ones who ewe
the stores and won't r can't pay for
such xoaa can't gat trusted. .
The remedy for the merchant Is this:
Let thus all sell for cash the same aa
the catalogue houses. Wa shall have tha
psreala post sesa, for sny oonjrresaman
or senator who will vote against It will
commit political suicide. . .
