CEREALS TO BE TESTED
fcEVJCRAL HUNDRED VARIETIES FOR
O. B. &, IP. EXPERIMENT STATION.
Jtadnstrial Agent Jndsoa Receive
Seeds Prom. All Over tho World
Results: of His "WorJc
R. C Judson, Industrial agent of the
O. R. & N., received yesterday several
hundred new varieties of cereals and
grasses that will be tested on the O. R.
& N. experimental station near Walla
Walla. Most of these have been sent by
the United States Department of Agri
culture, but many have been received dl
rect from other experimental stations,
'and some from John Goodnow, Consul
"General to China. From Germany
France, Italy, Russia, Australia," Argen
tine Republic, .Algeria, Japan, Egypt and
China the grains come, and are adapt
ed to'any climate, but have been selected
chiefly -with a velw to trial in Eastern
'Oregon and Washington, where a hardy
ldrought-reslstlng- grain is needed.
The chief object of the O. R. & N. ex
perimental station," said Colonel Judson
yesterday, "since it was started two years
tago by the company, is to test the growth
of grains and grasses to determine, ; if
jiosslble, "what grains will grow to ad
Vantage and ripen before the .dry winds,
commence in the month of June, which
chall also have a stiff straw, tanalng
(after being ripened, and not shattering.
This is the kind of grain needed In this
ireglon. Another object was to see wheth
er we could find a better variety than
the little club, bluestem and Turkish Tra
Irieties of wheat, which have so far proved
'the best.
"So far Tre have tested a large number
of varieties, but none have proved so
'valuable. The traffic department of the
'O. R. & N., under which the experimental
'station is conducted, has requested me
to continue the work this year, and some
170 new varieties will be tested. Thirty
one varieties of Winter wheat will be
sent to the farm Monday, as well as Win
ter barley and Winter rye. The wheats
come from every country on the globe,
and will be thoroughly tested. Other vari
eties will be-put in as fast as they arrive.
The United States Department of Agricul
ture is sending us samples of all tho dif
ferent seeds they receive, and it is our
intention this year to put In some 300'
varieties of grain, besides forage plants.
"'One can readily see the importance of .
this station, as its location is in Eastern
Oregon, in the great grain-raising section
of the United States, where the condi
tions are favorable to the raising of all
kinds of cereals, and where a test can be
made as to drought and hot, dry winds
that often do so much damage. There
are -41 experimental stations in the United
States conducing similar work. All the
camples tested in these combined stations
are here tested in one under the same
conditions, and whether the grain is good,
bad or indifferent, the result is known.
Right on this one farm were raised the
71 varieties of grain that won the prize
at the Paris exposition.
Many of the different varieties I will
pollenlze with each other and experi
ment as to the result. Some very inter
esting results are obtained in this way.
and I have hybridized Winter barley, the
result of the pollenizatlon of the best
Winter 'barley with a Russian variety
that would yield in the same proportions
175 bushels to the acre. Of course, this
is not possible, but it would be a great
thing to develop a variety that would
yield even 100. I know of a hybridized
club wheat that was introduced on land
formerly yielding 22 bushels to the acre
that now brings in 47. Some of the sam
ples of Argentine Republic wheat I will
pollenlze with Sonora, Turkish and blue-'
stem wheat, and hope to get an excellent
variety."
"Do you find that the farmers appreciate
end profit by the -work at the station?"
was asked Colonel Judson.
"I can't say that they do. The station
Is open for visit and inspection, and we
are llberar in giving seeds and samples
with which to experiment We have had
good results in lntroducinc- eoori vnriati..
.of grasses, especially with dairymen, but
as to wheat, farmers are confident that
they have little to learn, and go on rais
ing the same variety year after year
from the same seed. At Blalocks we have
introduced alfalfa with a yield 4 feet 3
inches high and a yield to the acre of 4
tons. This was on unlrrigated land, 51
feet above water. However, at Baker
City and Pendleton the Chambers of
Commerce have been Interested, and they
will conduct seed beds and test our grains
Another thing we are working on Is
&f J?" corthat WW e adaptable to
this region. We are going to experiment
with corn from Cairo, Egypt; Kansas
Texas, South Carolina andVIrglnK
Another work we will carry on will
?. prove by actual demonstrations

ranges without irrigation that will be
drought-resisting. To do this we will re

EASTERN MULTNOMAH,
SHos Create a New Industry G. A. R.
Campgrround.
h5 ?" - 6 A new industry
has been developed in this section as the
result of the building of fIIos. It is the'
cutting of green corn fodder to fill them
"with, which is being done by a fully
equipped steam outfit that travels from
place to place and cuts about 40 tons of
ensilage daily. There are now six silos In
ihls neighborhood, and more will be put
up. The cutting industry will be as im
portant nere a threshing in a year or
two, as about the same number of hanaa
are employed in one as in the other.
The corn is hauled direct from the fields
to the silos, the work requiring five teams
and 10 men, all told.
Netv Campgrround.
M. A. Ross Post G- A. R., at Pleasant
Home, will have a business meeting next
Saturday, at which time a proposition to
locate a new campground will be dis
cussed. The Lake place, near Powell
Valley, has been offered the post free of
rent and all cost of improving it and
moving the pavilion and other buildings
"nlll be defrayed by the owner without
cost The new location is about four
miles nearer Portland than the old one,
ana more desirable in many respects. It
is highly probable the offer will be ac
cepted and that next year's reunion will
be held on the new grounds.
Field Hands Scarce.
f McKlnley prosperity "has developed here
to such an extent that fields hands are
very scarce. Potato digging is slow in
consequence, and wages are up to the top
notch. The prevailing rate is a 75 per
day or 4 cents per bushel, and at the
latter figure a good strong man can earn
about $2 per day. Quite a few Chinamen
and Japs are now In this section and all
find -work because of the scarcity of
white labor.
Brief Notes.
Rev. F. H. Frulht is about to com
mence the erection of a new barn at his
place on the Base Line, to cost about
JSOO. It will be 40x60 feet and be ar
ranged for stock and feed -when finished.
Captain Brown's potato-digger Is a nov
elty here and can easily keep 12 men 1
busy picking up. It is the first machine
of the kind to be used In this section.
O. T. Turner, for the past year foreman
of the Melville farm, has decided to locate
on a homestead near Grass Valley, in
Phermaa County, and will leave on Tues-
day for his new home. His place on
Melville farm will be taken by E. C.
Gordman.
"Mrs. John Overton has returned to Hon
olulu, after a pleasant .visit with her
parents at Terry for over two monthsi
Road-Supervisor T. Ii. Evans has-gone
to California, on receipt of a message
conveying the information of the serious
illness of. a sister in that state."
. J. W..Stanley is putting up a residence
on Stanley avenue, to cost $500 when
completed. ,
The people of Gresham are highly
pleased over the return of Jtev. M. L.
Hardingham as pastor of the Methodist
Church for another year. He is very
popular -with all classes.
G. W. Wyer, of Gresham, was bound
over to the grand jury last 'week for.as-
saultlng a man named Clanahan with a
shovel. The difficulty arose over the
clearing of a" piece of -land vf or the latter
by Mr, Wyer. Justice Harlow was the
committing magistrate.
Joseph BramhalL has bought the for
mer site of Conft Tirna mill at. Troutdale
and will use it as a yard for" ties and
cordwood, which he will float down the
Bandy River. The endless chain elevator
will probably be moved there, so as to re
lieve the congestion of ties on the present
yaras in tne streets of -Troutaaie.

- PORTLAND WOMAN'S CLUB.
First Meeting of tke Year to Be Held
, Friday.
What promises to be a most prosperous
year in the life "of the ..Woman's; Club
will open with the first meeting, in their
old clubrooms, in the Hlrach-Selling'bulid-ing.
Friday, October 12, at 2 P. M.
At present the clubhas an enrollment
of' nearly 200 members, with a comple
ment of officers whose standing and abil
ity, bespeak for the year a well-conducted
and f business-like administration, -while
the personnel of the standing committees'
and the leaders of departments guarantee
Its perfect and harmonious workins:
throughout.
The year-took just Issued Is artistically
bound in green and white (the club col
ors), and contains, besides the -very at
tractive programme for the entire year,
much general Information regarding the
club and its departments, and, what is
quite an innovation, the revised constitu
tion and by-laws. The entire work re
flects much credit upon the calendar com
mittee, which prepared it.
The1 meeting Friday is "officers' day,"
and will be almost wholly of a social na
ture, with , the exception of the presi
dent's annual address At her request,
also, the leaders of departments will give
a five-minute report and outline of their
work for the coming year, for the benefit
of new members -who. may wish to Join
the departments. The music will be a
special feature of the entertainment.
As the first object of the club is to "fos
ter friendly relations," a large attendance
on "officers' day" Is looked forward to,'
and the hope expressed that this oppor
tunity, which has been so happily placed
on the opening day, may engender such
a spirit of loyal good-fellowship between
officers and members that a determina
tion to be jnutually helpful will pervade
the entire year.
Following is the musical programme for
Friday afternoon, .October 12:
Piano solo "Witches' Dance" "
- ... E. A. McDowell
Mrs. W. A. Knight". '
Vocal solo "Sunshine and Rain".,....

WHEAT IN THE PALOUSE: " '
Average
Yield Is 25 Bushels
Acre.
R. D. Wlls, an agricultural Implement
dealer of Pomeroy, was In the city yes
terday, on his way to California for a
visit He considered the average yield
- of wheat in the Palouse country this -year
to be 25 bushels, per acre, and the quality
of the grain has never been excelled.
The wheat Is plump, hard and heavy, Its
weight ranging from 58 to 62 pounds per
bushel.
"Much wheat Is being shipped to Port
land, but there seems to be a scarcity of
cars and so our farmers are not selling
as rapidly as they would If transportation
facilities were better. The price now
paid for wheat in Pomeroy Is 43 to 45
cents, the cost of shipping to Portland
belng-12"4 cents per bushel. The distance
is a little over 300 miles.
"Considerable Sonora wheat Is being
shipped to St Paul, where It Is made
into breakfast foods. The cost per bushel'
for freight to St Paul is about 30 cents,
so the wheat is valued at 75 cent3 a bushel
In the Minnesota capital."

TO PLAY GOOD FOOTBALL
MULTNOMAH fHAS ORGANIZED
, STRONG TEAM.
Old Cracks as Well as New Men im
the Ranks Practicing Every t
'Day.
The football season Is here. Quietly
during the last week the gridiron veter
ans -have been actively training to ac
custom themselves to hard knocks, and
then to burst suddenly Into the public
view like the blooming of the chrysanthe
mum, whose floral similitude to the shag
gy heads of the players has Inseparably
associated it with the popular game. Next
Saturday the season will be opened on
Multnomah field by an exhibltlongame,
open to the publlcfree, between the first
and second teams of playersT During the
early stages of training'" tho men will be
jdlvided into two teams, .and contests
played between them that will be well
worth"seeIng, for' the Intense rivalry for
places on the club eleven willmake these
practice matches sharp and Interesting.
Captain Martin Pratt, of the, Multnomah
"MY! HOW. YOU HAVE. IMPROVED IN THE 'LAST FOUR YEARS!"
,
Club, has had his- team candidates out
every evening, numbering from 20 to 26
men. Punting, running with the ball,
catching the ball after' itsf soaring flight
through -the air, diving headlong after it
when dropped, have been the exercises
that the men have gone through. These
are the rudiments. Even the experienced
player must go through them every year
until1' handling the ball becomes second
nature to him, automatic In performance.
Multnomah will have a strong team if
the present enthusiastic spirit continues.
Xastr year's team Is 'almost intact,, and
there are good men ava!labler.for every"
position. ' Stiles and t Montague, ends;
Pratt and Rusk, tackles; Rasch' and Mc
KJnnon, guards, are the players of last
year's star Hue that will be following tha
pigskin in its rambles this season. The
center position Is open, as1 Dr. Watson
has decided not to compete. Back of the
line there are Kerrigan,, quarter
back; McMillan and Meyers, half
backs, last year's veterans. The
fullback position is to be filled. Cap
tainCharles McDonell and Ed Davey, the
two fullbacks, are out of the game, and
this position will likely be filled by 'Dr.
Millard .Holbrook, an experienced player
and formerly a member of the Multnomah
team. Besides these men, Hamilton, end
of the old Portland University team;
Saunders.the Chemawa player; Sam Hol
brook, end; Dunbar, halfback; Holman,
center; Nottage, end; are candidates for
their respective positions.
For the second team, Tim and Ted
Wood, Doble, Keller, York, 'Price, Har
klns, Stout, Glbbs, Ford, Kirkley, Holmes,
Bennett, are candidates, but the team1 Is
not yet organized by positions.
After next Saturday's practice game, a
match will be arranged -with one of the
Valley colleges for Saturday, October 27.
On November 3, the team's old rival, the
State University eleven, will be plsyred in
Portland, and again on Thanksgiving.
November 29. Between, these two games a
match will be taken on with some outside
team. Early In December a trip will be
taken to Spokane to meet the Spokane
Athletic Club, and impossible the season'
will be closed by a series of, holiday
games with one of.the California colleges,
probably Stanford.
QUERIES FOR-MR. WOOD.
Was It, or Was It "Sot, Imperialism
Our Fathers Proposed.
SALEM, Oct 5. (To "the Editor.) Mr.
C. E." 6. Wood Is one of the distinguished'
gentlemen who attempted to answer the
arguments presented by President Mc
Klnley in his 'letter of acceptance. Mr.
Wood is one of those Democrats who, it
Is .generally supposed, 'voted for McKln
ley In 1896. but who is this year support
ing Bryan through his fear of "Imperial
ism." The campaign is now so far pro
gressed that the intentions of Mr. Bryan
are pretty well understood, for the rea
son that he has said a great many things.
"Mr. 'Wood appears to be Mr. Bryan's
chief defender and supporter in Oregon,
and since there are no Bryan speakers, on
the stump In the state there are some-ap
parent inconsistencies in his position
which a great many people In Oregon
would delight to have explained, say by
Mr. Wood.
If the payment of Government obliga
tions In silver four years ago would have
brought us to the silver standard, why
would not the same thing have the same
effect now And why would not the sil
ver standard work the same disastrous re
sults to business of all kinds as it would
have "done then? And since Mr. Bryan
says that, If elected, he will not endure
the gold standard "any longer than he
can get rid of it," and since everybody
knows that as long as the Republicans
are In power that standard will be main
tained, where is the Gold Democrat going
to "get" off" who believes, as he sald he
did four years ago. that the silver stand
ard would simply paralyze business and
place us. on a level with China in the
matter of finances?
If the Gold Democrat believes, as some
of them have said, that the question
"whether it shall be Republic or Empire"
overshadows everything else,, why is
there any more danger from ' "empire"
now by the payment of $20,000,000 for the
Philippines, "which is noncontiguous ter
ritory, " than there was when Jefferson
wrote to Madison in 1807, while he was
yet President, about some other noncon
tiguous country, ,as follows:
"I had rather have war with Soaln than
not if we are to go to war with England.
Our Southern defenses can take of the
Florldas, volunteers will flock to our
standard from the Mexican Army, and
rich pabulum will bo offered to our pri
vateers In the plunder of their commerce
and coasts. PrbbalJly Cuba would add
itself to4our confederation."
How Is that' for 'militarism" and "Im
perialism" from Mr. Wood's standpoint
Mr. Jefferson had no1 particular grievance
agalnst-Spaln, but since war was im
minent with England" he "would rather
have war with Spain than not," for no
other reason given than that it would
offer "rich pabulum" for our privateers
"in their plunder of th6lr commerce and
coasts." Incidentally, the acquisition of
Cuba -to "our confederation" is hoped for.
In hls'speeches to the Germans of Wis
consin, Mr. Bryan, said, in substance, "Be
ware -of the impending, establishment of
militarism in this country. Who can
measure the value of life of one of his
sons as weighed against the acquisition of
foreign territory?"
But 1 since it requires the sacrifice of
lives to take "rich- pabulum" from the
high seas with? privateers, what Is Mr.
Wood's rea opinion of' Jefferson for ut
tering , the statement that he would
rather go to war than not for no other
object than that which he gave?
. In 1809 Jefferson wrote to Madison, who
was then President:
"That Napoleon would give us the Flor
ldas to withhold Intercourse with the res
idue of, these colonics cannot be doubted,
but that Is no price, or they are ours
at the first moment of the first war; but,
although with' difficulty, he will consent
i '
S . '
- t
Chicago Record.
tq our receiving Cuba into the Union, to
prevent' ouraid tO-Mexlco and the other
provinces. That will be a price, and I
would Immediately erect a column on
the southernmost limit of Cuba and in
scribe on It' pur ne plus ultra as to us
In that direction; ' We should then only
have to include the North in our . Con
federacy, which Would 'be, of course, In
the first war, and we" should have such,
an empire' for liberty as she has never
surveyed since the creation,' and I am per
suaded that no Constitution was ever so
well calculated ' as - ours for extensive
empire and self-government."
Mr.Bryan says' "we" cannot buy' peo
ple," "but wha"t' does Mr. Wood thlnkr
of this bold and 'bald proposition of the
author i of the Declaration of Indepen
dence to "acquire" the people of Cuba,
not by purehase, to be sure, but by the
more Imperialistic manner of conquest,
and not by the consent of the Cubans,
but, as he plainly says, by the 'consent
of Napoleon, the most heedless and un
feeling imperialist the world has ever
seen?
On June 20, 1823, President Monroe wrote
that he was In favor 'of "Incorporating
Cuba into our Union." and said that he
regarded its acquisition of the highest Im
portance to our Internal panqulllity as to
our prosperity and aggrandizement".
Just now the opposition brothers are
feeling themselves outraged because some
one reported Senator Beverldge as favor-'
ing the acquisition of the Philippines be
cause they would add to our material
wealth. No doubt Mr. Wood feels him
self in ivl degree .bound to blush because
a Senator would so express himself, but
what Is his real opinion of Mr. Monroe,
who was one of "the fathers" and yet
was in favor of "incorporating" non
contiguous territory into the Union for
purposes of "aggrandizement"?
In 1854 James Buchanan, Pierre Soule
and Mason, of Virginia, made a report to
President Pierce, at his request, on the
Cuban question, and after recommending
w payment to Spain of the sum Qf ?100-
000,000 and 30,0CK,000.more rather than to
have the- effort fall, said:
"After we have offered Spain a price for
Cuba far beyond Its present value, and
this shall have been refused, It will then
be time to consider the question, Does
Cuba, in the possession of Spain, seri
ously Injure our internal peace, and the
existence of our cherished Union? Should'
this question be answered in the affirma
tive, the3 by every law, human and dl
vlno, we shall be justified In wresting it
from Spain, if we have the power to do
so."
What does Mr. Wood think of these ex
pressions, made long before there was
any Imperial party In this country, as
tending to "criminal aggression" and "im-,
perlalism"? v '
On page 69 of the Oregon code will be
found an act of Congress, passed first on
May. 26, 1796, and amended on March 27,
1804, which was signed by both Washing
ton and Jefferson, while they, were Presi
dents, and which reads as follows:
"The acts of the Legislature of any
state or territory," or of any country sub
ject to the jurisdiction of the United
States, shall "be authenticated by having
the seals of state, 'territory or country af
fixed " "
Mr. Wood is a good lawyer, and It would
be very instructive to have his opinion
of the ,klnd of "country" here mentioned
by the fathers, which should be neither
state nor territory, but simply a country
that was to be "subject to the jurisdic
tion of the United States." If provision
was no't here made for just such a coun
try as the Philippines, what does Mr.
Wood think the fathers had in mind 7 )
If. a country Is neither a state nor
territory, and Is still "subject to the ju
risdiction of the United States," how far
would Its peoplo miss being subjects of
the United States. In Mr. Wood's opinion?
If we were to have" such a country, does
it not seem that provision had been made
for the flag to go soma place without the
Constitution necessarily following?
Doesn't it seem so to Mr. Wood? ,And
what about the "consent of the governed"
In all these propositions of the fathers in
their efforts to not only "buy people" but
to simply "wrest them" if "we have the
power"?
In short, don't Mr. Wood and Mr. Cox
know that the free-silver people have
them scared at a ridiculously transparent
"bogey man"? ANTI-IMPERIAJLIST,

MiLCH COWS COME-HIGH
STOCKING DAIRY FARMS'
j PENSIVE. '
IS EX-
Well-Known Dairyzaan Says It Pays
to Buy Only the Best Aal-
sials.
A. A. Bonney, of Tygh 'Valley, who is
considered the most extensive daryman'
in Eastern Oregon, was in Portland yes
terday. He has abbut 60 cows 'at present,
and the butter from these Is sold at 55
oents a roll, right at home, the price be
ing governed by the Portland quotations.
He irrigates 50 acres of alfalfa, and es-.
tlmates that the crop averages seven tons
to the acre. He cuts hay three times
during tho year, obtaining two tons at
each cutting, and he figures another ton
as pasturage In the Fall and Winter.
Mr. Bonney sees a tendency on the part
of the farmers of the Northwest to drift
into the dairy business, but thinks It no
easy matter to obtain a good paying herd
of dairy cows. "A cow that will produce
but half a pound of butter per day," ha
said, "is not worth her keep, and should
be disposed of. One that produces a.
pound per diem will make expenses; the
one producing 1 pounds will make soms
thlng'for her owner,' while 'the two-pound-a-day
cow'Ib a money-maker.
"It costs no more to feed the " two
pound cow than .the the half-pound ani
mal, but the difference in profit is vast,
so It pays to be careful In the selection
of "stock when going into the dairy busi
ness. '
"The best dairy cow is .the well-selected
Jersey or Guernsey, though some Jerseys
are not worth anything for milking "pur
poses, as therbutter fat supply may be
meager and the animal difficult to milk.
The Jersey, crossed wlth'thenatlve Short
horn sometimes makes a very good cow,
both as to quantity of' milk and the
amount of butter fat.
"G004 milch cows are scarce and" high
now.as the supply Is short and the de
mand great "on account of the desire to
get Into the dairy business. It will there
fore take 10 years for 'the farmers of
Oregon and Washington obtain a good
supply of dairy cattle and judgment in
the selection of stock must be used In tha
meantfme.
"A good milch cow at present Is worth
$40, while the cow and .calf would bo
worth ?50. Farmers who contemplate go
ing Into the dairy business must there
fore pay well for what stock they buy,
while thoroughbreds for breeding pur
poses will be worth ?200 and over. Good
stock is the only stock to buy, however,
and the price will not cut so much figure
In the long run."
Mr. Bonney noticed in the dally quota
tions that "creamery" butter is worth 65
cents a roll, while "dairy" butter Is
duoted at 35. He thinks this discrepancy
In price 13 due altogether to the manu
facture of the butter, as the butter fats
in each case are exactly the same. "Some
dairymen,'; he said, "use caro and clean
liness in churning ana packing, whll&
others throw the butter together any old
way. and in packing for city sale, use
soap boxes or anything else that comes
handy. Why men will go on making but
ter in a slipshod fashion and losing 20
cents a roll, year after year, is beyond
my comprehension. They virtually throw
away all the profit there Is In butter
making by refusing to learn the modern
methods of separating the cream, churn
ing the butter and nacklntr neatlv fnr
shipment." Mr. Bonney uses the cream
separator which enables the day's milk
ing to be churned while yet sweet A
barrel churn, run by water power, makes
the dairy work easy, and, as he obtains
top prices for the butter right at his
door in TyghValley, he has no com
plaint to make as regards profits. He
uses skimmed milk for feeding calves and
hogs, and values this at 15 cents per 100
pounds for this purpose. He considers
Western Oregon particularly adapted to
dairying, as grass gr.ows nearly the year
around, while the locality Is rich in all
that milch cows -need 'In the way of
fodder. No irrigation Is necessary to pro
duce alfalfa, while the temperature Is
mild and equable at' all times of the
year. The farmers, however, have a big
job ahead of them, for several years to
come, In stocking their fields with the
right kind of cattle.

THE BOOSTER CLUB.
Its President Gives His Reasons for
. Forming; It.
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
The Booster Club, iof Chicago, Is a club
for the promotion of helpfulness. Its
motto Is expressed with breezy Western
forcefulness:
"If you can't say anything good of a
man, keep still.'
The object of the club Is expressed as
follows:
'The discouragement of unkind criti
cism and the encouragement and boosting
of everything that Is publfc-splrlted or
praiseworthy."
Each member wears a Booster button,
and this token, wherever seen. Is intended
as a warning; that harsh criticism, gossip
and evil speaking are offensive to its
wearer. Most of thoso who display this
little badge of helpfulness are substantial
young business men, for it is this class
which furnishes the greater portion of the
many recruits who are joining the move
ment It has already begun to spread be
yond Chicago. The president of the club
Is John A. Heusner. He was also its
founder, and his most active helper is
Al-J. Olson. In a conversation between
the two men they talked of their strug
gle's in getting a foothold In the business
world.
"My bitterest disappointments," Bald
Mr. HeuBner, "have come through people
on whom, from friendship or relationship,
I thought I had the most right lo depend
f or s encouragement. If not for aid." The
discussion of this statement resulted in
the organization of the club.
"My experiences have caused me," said
President Heusner, a few days ago, "to
classify men under three heads Boosters,
Knockers and Rangers. These are not
very elegant terms, perhaps, but most
men of the world will understand them,
and I can illustrate by my own experi
ence: "Father died when I was a barefooted
youngster. My two older brothers were
accepted by the people of our little New
York town as promising lads, but
there was a certain element, which
'ranged' T the community, that gave out
the impression that my mother would es
cape easily if I failed to land In Jail or
In some way bring disgrace upon her
head. Meantime-1 was working like a
beaver and earning ?6 a week. All but 75
cents of this amount was always and will
ingly turned over to mother. Finally the
whisperings of the 'rangers'' became so
rasping to me that I determined to quit
the old home town, make a good, big
stake and thdn return In triumph to put
their suspicions to confusion and hear
them forced for once to speak fairly of
me.
"Borrowing J20 from my elder brother,
I started for the West. I found employ
ment with a railway, and, best of all,
met a number of big-hearted, generous
men of the world, who took delight In
giving a boy a 0)0031. As a result in
just six months I was on my way back
home for a- triumphal visit I had in my
pocketJ600. which I had earned and saved,
an annual pass over the road which em
ployed me. and also passes over several
other lines.
"When the 'rangers' heard I had re
turned, they dropped In at mother's to
catechise me. I had resolved to do the
generous thing and forgive them after I
had seen their contrition. I made my
modest boast as to what I had accom
plished. One old 'ranger' casually hinted
that if I had the documents with me
they'd be more convincing than anything
else. This was the opportunity I had
been waiting for, and I put into his hands
the1 ?600 in currency and the railway
passes. Then came my turn to be sur--prlsea,
and to learn the total depravity
of the constitutional 'ranger! That old
fellow went away shaking his head, as
much as to say that he wondered by
what doubtful hook or crook I'd been
able to get so much money together.
, "It was- the recollection of this and
other experiences In my own life and
similar experiences In the lives of oth
ers that caused the organization of the
helpful 'Boosters.' '
DRIVING CAPITAL AWAY.
One Very Practical Effect ot Anti
Trnst Laws.
Chicago Tribune.
The Democraltc National platform
pledges the party to "an Increasing war
fare in Nation, State and city against
private " monopoly' In every form." The
Democrats are In power In 21 states. "What
have they done In those states to mo
lest "private monopoly?" It Is well known
what they and their Populist associates
have done in Nebraska and what they
did in Kansas when In power In that
state. They made war on capital and
drove It away. They attacked business
enterprise as If It were a public enemy.
But what "trust" did they break up?
"What "private monopoly" has been up
rooted by the legislation of any Demo
cratlc or Popullstic state?
Texas has a rigid anti-trust law. The
Democratic state administration tried to
enforce It. It revoked the license under
which a company, acting for the Stand
ard Oil Company, distributed petroleum
throughout the state. The local courts

"Write at once, send name and address today,

sustained that revocation. Tho Supreme
Court of the United States sustained the
state court3. There was rejoicing at tho
victory fwhlch had been won over a
"trust." At once application was made
to the Texas authorities for a charter for
a new company to be controlled by tho
same people who controlled the concern
which was denied the right to do busi
ness. The charter has been granted be
cause the laws do not warrant Its refusal.
Congressman Bailey, that great Texaj
Democrat. Is the counsel for tha new or
ganization and defends the state authori
ties against attacks made on them for
allowing it to do business.
In this case antr-"trust" legislation haa
been ineffective. In other states it haa
been more effective and mischievous. Be
cause of Illinois antl-"trust" laws and
the judicial enforcement of them the Steel
and "Wire Company has removed Its gen
eral headquarters from this cityto New
York. Records and employes departed in
a spectacular fashion la a special train.
The city has lost some residents and a
landlord has lost some tenants. Neither
the city nor the state has gained anything.
Before long the Diamond Match Company
will remove Its general offices to New
York. There will be'ono "trust" the less
in Illinois, but the power of that "trust"
will remain unchanged.
At the close of this month the geueral
offices of tho Associated Pres3 will be re
moved to New York. Before the year
has expired that association will be re
organized under a New York charter,
abandoning Its Illinois charter because of
the rigid "anti-monopoly" view3 of the
Supreme Court of Illinois. It is lmnos&I
bla to see what Chicago will gain by j that
decision which haa caused tha Associated
Press to decide to go East- It is easy
to see what the city will toso. It will
lose that prestige which It has enjoyed
for some years as the central point for the
collection ot pews in the Western world.
New York will regain an advantage which
it long enjoyed, but which tho energy and
enterprise of Chicago men took away
from it. Hereafter Chicago will be mere
ly a subsidiary news-collecting point a
way-station.
From a business point of view the loss
of general offices Is not so serious a mat
ter for a city as the loss of factories.
But if a number of large corporations
move their headquarters from Chicago
because of the effectiveness of the antl
"trust" laws of this state, it will not be
necessary to rush the construction of new
office buildings here. The owners of those
whose corporation tenants have left or are
about to leave will be able to meet new
demands for room3 for some time to come.
If all that can be done against "private
monopolies" under Illinois laws Is to drive
their general omce3 out of this state into
some other state, where they will be
made at home, what good end ha3 been
accomplished by those laws?
"He "Was My All."
CFrom Mrs. Conger's story of the German Mln-
lster's murder in s letter to a friend )
Baron von Ketteler was shot through
the head. "Word wa3 sent at once to tho
Tsung 11 Yamun and they enly fffflnd tho
two chairs, badly crushed. The inter
preter saw the Minister snot and saw him
fall. It fell upon me to bear the word
to his swe$t young American wife. They
had been married three years.
She said: "I have lost an, and ha a
strange land. He was my husband, my
mother, my brother, my children, my all,
and he Is swept from me." I helped her
pack some things and we went together
