E very window glass factory in the United States is out of blast and twen ty thousand skilled workmen are out of employment. Why? Simply be cause the people who own them w ant a better price for glass. When the stock on hand gets short they will start to manufacture again. And they will give something else a good start—price«. We have strict trust laws; but some how crpital goes through them as easi ly as a hog through a cornstalk fence. Now that Secretary Cortelyou’s bu reau of corporations is getting ready to get busy we would suggest that he can find material on trusts or rather traces of trusts iu the Iron Age of April 2. By turulug to page 52, tirât co lu mu. be cau get points on the— Ice trust, which has Just announced prices so high that the trade is buying conservatively and bus a “general feel ing that prices are not likely to be higher" and that they may be lower, bright wire goods trust, which has an nounced higher prices; stove and tire bolt trust, which has made "a substan tial advance" in prices; shot trust, which is firmly adhering to its "recent advance to $1.50 base" on the top of "successive advances which have taken place" and which “afford tbe Jobbing trade an opportunity to undersell the manufacturers;” wire picture cord trust, which is "announcing materially higher quotations;" binder twine trust, which iu the name of the International Harvester company has fixed up a schedule of very high prices for twine; window gluss trust, which agreed to ■hut down its plants on April 18 and to keep them closed for about six months and which is expected to an nounce higher price* soon. Surely the Industrious secretary, who is trying hard to make a great anti trust record, can find material in some of these trust* wbeu he turns the light on them to make good grist for Attor ney General Knox, that "profound Ju rist and fearless public servant,” as President Roosevelt calls him, whose business it is to burst all of the bad trusts he can hear of officially. Bad luck to the trusts, with all of these “profound and fearless" gentlemen on their trail. They might as well lie down and give up the ghost at once. The C«a41eli<ht S ome idea of the magnitude of the Panama canal construction may be gathered from the statement that when operations are fully under way there will be from 20,000 to 40,000 la borers employed. It is expected that West Indian and American negroes will be relied on largely by labor contract ors. If they cannot be secured in suffi cient numbers. Japanese and even Chinese labor may be used. The or dinary wage in the country through which the canal is to be constructed will not range higher than 50 cents a day. ______ D own in Argentina it will not be prof- fitable for men to live single in the fu ture. One of tbe states of that coun try has passed a law taxing bachelors, with a sort of graduated tax. From 21 to 30 years it is 95 per month, from 30 to 35 years 110, from 35 to 50 years 920, from 50 to 75 years •30 and from 75 to 80 it is reduced to 920 per month. Every man over 21 must marry or sat isfy the authorities that he has made three honest attempts to secure a wife. If he fails to make such proof he must pay the the tax prescribed. U nion among producers to compel competition among buyers is the watch word at the meetings of fruitgrowers and woolgrowers held at Salem and elsewhere in Oregon recently. The producers there propose to stand to gether for their mutual benefit and to compel the buyers to bid against each other for the produce they have to sell. To secure the highest price the market will warrant is the purpose, and thoee who are identified with the unions feel confident of a successful outcome of the co-operative movement. This is as It should be, and Southern Oregon should get into line. S candals may come and scandals may among the crowned headsand “blue blood ’ of Europe without seriously dis turbing social circles of “high” rank. A few months ago all Europe was "shocked’’over the escapade of Prin cess Louise of Saxony, deserting her family and husband, the crown prince, and eloping with the tutor of her children. So scandalous was her con duct that the crown prince, one of the moat notorious libertines in Europe, "felt” his disgrace and secured a di vorce from tbe princess. Now his “honor” has been vindicated and he and the princess will be remarried, each having pledged the other to not refer to the past. It will be well for decent people when Europe is rid of such cat tle as these; but it will not be rid of them until a higher standard of morals is required of some of the crowned heads. go T he imports into the United States exceeded •1,000,000,000 in the year end ing with March, 1903. This is the first t ime in the history of our foreign com merce that they have exceeded that amount. Prior to 1870 they never reached one-half billion dollars in a sin gle year, and it was not until 1890 that they reached 9750,000,000. Meanwhile exports have grown with equal or great er rapidity. In the twelve months end ing with March last they amounted to •1,414,786,964, giving an excess of ex ports over imports of practioally 9414,- 000,000. It was not until 1892 that the exports of the United States exceeded 1,000,000,000, so that the rapidity of in crease is most apparent. It is estimat ed by the Treasury officials that should the exports for April, May and June average as high as thoee for March, the total exports for tbe fiscal year, which will close with the end of June, will amount to over 91,500,000,000. Remedy. ?feFiwJCirr*r become wearisome to him. BRIEF MENTION Minerva E. Ililgar ar.d Amanda Bates, appellants, vs. J. W. Miller and wife, respondents, from Jackson County, II. K. Hanna, Judge; affirmed. Opinion by Chief Justice Moore. This was a suit t > set «side a deed given iu escrow by JacobG. Grossman, of Medford, in favor of J. W. Miller. Tbe died covered lots 11 and 12, blojk 66, in Medf rd, a'd was deposited in the Jackson Couuty Bank, to be de livered immediately afte G ossman’s death, provided that Milk faithfully cared for Grossman and furnished him food, clothing and medicine and gave him decent burial at death Tbe deed was deposited May 9, 1899, and Grossman then went to live with Mil ler. On July 1, 1899, he went to the Soldiers’ Home at Santa Monica, Cal., where tie iciuaiLed until the time of his death, August 17, 1899. The ex penses of his burial were borne by the Soldiers’ Home. The deed was then delivered to Miller. The plaintiffs in this suit are heirs of Grossman. They allege that Gross man was Incompetent to enter iDto a contract; that he was deceived by Miller, and that Miller did not faith fully perform his agreement. The suit was decided in the court below in favor of defendant. On appeal the Supreme Court holds that the evi dence shows that Grossman was men tally capable of making the contract; that Miller performed his agreement so far as Grossman permitted; that Grossman went to the Soldiers’ Home of his own accord and not because of any neglect on the part of M iIler, and that Miller, having performed his agreement so far as permitted, lie was entitled to tbe deed. Upon the ob jection made by the heirs that Miller permitted Grossman to be burled at public expense, tbe opinion says: "That his body was consigned to earth by representatives of a nation grateful for sacrifices made by its de fenders in times of peril, and that the sepulchral rites were performed by comrades whose common experience of danger and privation united them In a bond of sympathy, demonstrates that he received tbe greatest honor and tbe most loving tribute that could be paid to a loyal soldier. If he bad died at Medford his body could not probably have been given better interment, and, as the costs of travel, residence and burial, though not de frayed by Miller, were not imposed as a charge upon Grossman's estate, the plaintiffs, as bis heirs, suffered no injury.” S.

Great stress was laid in congress on the fact ot the Inadequacy of some of the fines stipulated In the antitrust provisions. It was contended in the house that tbe Hoar bill wus too weuk kneed against violators of its provi sions, and the Elkins antirebate bill was regarded by tbe advocates as far too moderate in the matter of fine«. The whole history of English attempts to suppress monopoly by terrible fines shows how futile It Is where the spoils are sufficient to risk violating law. Wrong systems never were abolished by fines. The true remedy is to abol ish the laws which make the system possible. Until we repeal some of tbe laws under which the trusts were in corporated tbe fines will not save us.— Boston Globe.

Friday, May 1—Elocut ionary and The general management of the Southern Pacific Company, following out its policy of reduciog all (urces of late to the lowest limit, created con sternation in the Dunsmuir shops Tuesday. Assistant Master Me chanic Hale received an order to re duce the mechanical force at that point by 40 men at once, and at the closing of working hours last night ten machinists, one car builder and twenty laborers, mostly coal heavers, were dismissed. It is further under stood that all section forces are to be reduced by halt. The other day sev eral carpenters and workmen were turned off at Dollarhlde trestle. Says tbe Ashland Tribune. The cause of this sudden movement by the company to reduce expenses by wholesale discharges of men, when business is generally good and the need of the men is apparent even to a citizen not c nnected with the rail road business, is creating considera ble speculation and some alarm.
