The trust power is ono which works
behind a mask. It Is not the mask

Tho Trust power assumes the mask
of tho siren and sings a sweet song
and leads the Independent voter into
tho snares it has laid. Will the next
Republican convention reversn tho
Uooseveltian policy? In order to
prevent such reversal will the Inde

sist on the nomination of Roosevelt?
Will somo opponent of that policy or
somo false prophet bo selected to
mislead the people and deceive them?
Is so, will the Independent voter, who
Is now vigilant and on tho alert,
angered at being deceived or thwart
ed, Insist that a more radical expon
ent of anti-graft and anti-trust reme
dies than Roosevelt himself, shall
succeed? Here Is just where the
third term for President Roosevelt
becomes Important and Interesting to
the Independent voter, and this Is
why a third term may be insisted on.
But it is too early to attempt to fore
cast the future in this respect.. The
banner of anti-graft, anti-trust nnd
strong and honest government Is
seen flying above the smoke of com
mercial battle today. May it wave
forever.

FRUIT RATES TO COOS HAY.
At the Chamber of Commerce
meeting Inst Friday evening, Hon.
J. W. Snoer, In his very excellent
speed: on the Gravensteln apple,
called attention to tho fact that the
rate on apples from Myrtle Point to
Marshfield was fixed by the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company at fifteen
cents. Some exception was taken to
tho statement at the time and It was
asserted that the rate was, in fact,
fifteen cents from Myrtle Point to
San Francisco. Both Mr. Snover and
the gentleman who explained the
rate to be a through rate, wer.e cor
rect. But Mr. Snover was not com
plaining of the through rate, but
rather of what was a very apparent
discrimination against Marshfield.
Why should It bo as cheap to take
apples from Myrtle Point through
.Marshfield to San Francisco as to
Marshfield? Mr. Snover's conten
tion was that both tho fruit grower
and the people of Marshfield were af
fected injuriously and it is difficult
to see why he was not absolutely
right.
The rate on apples from Yakima to
Seattle Is only ten cents. From
Yakima to any point west a distance
of twenty-six miles is five cents. If
the Southern Pacific desired to bene
fit this section and the fruit grower,
it might put such a rate in force.
Then there would bo an Inducement
for farmers to ship to Marshfield in
dependently Instead of waiting for
commission men from San Francisco
to hunt them up at an Increased ex
pense. It would accentuate the cen
tral and attractive location of Coos
Bay as a market. Mr. Snover did
not submit his views on the rate
question in a spirit of censure of the
Southern Pacific, but suggested mere
ly that If the Chamber would take
the matter up with the Southern Pa
cific and present it In a reasonable
light that he believed tho Southern
Pacific would be glad to cooperate
with them In encouraging the fruit
growers.
