And we are very small
Mere Mierocosmic Dust, lroad-

Upon a little ball!
We rise in clouds and fink

To settle, finis, grain by grain,
What -time Fate's zephyr

The giant suns go whirling past
Xor see such specks at all

of the railroads are reporting large
declines in gross earnings, which they
are seeking to offset by rigid, econo-
mles ln every direction. In the textile
trades dullnes still prevails. Many
cotton mills are suffering a diminution
of profits owing to high cost of pro
duction, as well as to the Impossi
bility of securing satisfactory prices
for their product. Consumers are
economizing, while distributors seem
tent on carrying light stocks and con
fining their operations to those of a
hand-to-mouth character. The bright
est element in the business outlook
is the crop situation. All advices re
ceived concerning wheat and cotton
are of a very satisfactory nature.
Acreage is large, condition of the soil
good and plants generally are promis
ing." As far as the tariff is concerned
there is no reason why it should be
a disturber of business. If this coun
try had a tariff commission and made
changes in the tariff on a businesslike
basis giving ample notice In ad
vance to both producer and consum
er no trouble would result. But peo
ple may be pardoned for moving
cautiously when the making of tariff
schedules is placed in the hands of
men who are moving more with an
eye to political advantages rather than
to the commercial and Industrial wel
fare of the country.
A BIG DECISION.
That was a sweeping decision ren
dered by JuJge Wolverton in the
Southern Pacific land grant case. The
case Is remarkable for the vast am
ount of property at stake and because
of the issues involved. The main
point involved has to do with whether
or not a great corporation to which
land has been granted by the govern
ment for certain purposes must abide
by the terms of the grant. The
Southern Pacific was given 2.500,000
acres of land in western Oregon on
condition that the land be sold to
settlers at prices not to exceed $2.50
per acre. The land was sold for
higher prices and so the government
brought suit to recover ttle to the
land. Judge Wolverton sustains the
government's suit at every point and
SOMEBODY DID IT.
When the building of the Los An
geles Times was dynamited the whole
country was horrified. Scores of in
nocent people were killed in that
damnable outrage and the deed ac
complished no good. The crime
worked rave injury to the cause of
(tganized labor for the natural In
ference drawn was that labor union
ists had done the work.
If the men who committed the deed
or who are responsible for the crime
have been caught then the law has
nc punishment too severe for them.
Whether or not the McXamaras are
guilty is a matter for a court and a
jury to determine. Press reports in
dicate there is damaging evidence
against them and it is also apparent
that the two men will have ample
finds anl ample legal talent for their
defence. It Is only to he hoped now
tl'at when the trial is held the guilt
or the innocence of the men will be
thoroughly proven so there can be no
question about the' matter
Outrages like the dynamiting of
the Los Angeles Times constitute an
archy in the worst form and there is
no reason for anarchy in this republic.

quite a "shaver," to use! Mr. Weeks'
words, his parents moved to New
Tork, and it was in th;" public
schools of that city that he was ed
ucated. Weeks graduated from the College
of the City of New York, then he
took a post graduate course in law
at Columbia Unulversity. He has been
prominently identified with- many
prominent patriotic and athletic as
sociations in the country. He has
been commander-in-chief of the Sons
of Veterans of the United States and
president of the National Amateur
Athletic Union.
Col. Weeks is prominent in the
councils of the democratic party. In
1898 he was candidate for state sena
tor of the democratic ticket, but was
defeated. Col. Weeks is also one of
the most prominent lawyers in tho
country. He is not regarded strictly
as a corporation lawyer, but much of
his work has been done for the great
firms of the country which are re
garded as influential corporations at
leasf.
Col. Weeks Is a man of rather com
manding appearance, although he
does not measure up to the physical
proportions that one would expect
under the circumstances. Perhaps
there is no man in the country who
has done more for amateur athletics
than he has done. He is always

Since the gTant required the railroad

are now entitled to the difference be

The evil consequences that follow j
the praciice of making the tariff a !
political issue are shown to an extent
in the present business situation.
"The volume of trade is less than a
year ago and many enterprises are !
b-M in s-jsprn.se pending more favor-abb-
general conditions says Henry!
Clews, the financial critic. Uncer-
taiirfy regarding the supreme court
decisions and the tariff are largely re- '
sponsible for this state of affairs.
Concerning the tariff there Is perhaps
more apprehension than is warrant
ed. The three schedules most likely
to be effected cotton wool and steel
have not yet been attacked, and
both parties show a disposition to
handle thern cautiously, if not to post
pone action altogether until the next
I'rcsidciHial campaign. The tariff, it
must be remembered, always furnish
es exceptional material for political
agitation, and practical politicians
may easily consider It good tactics to
put public opinion to sleep by effect
ing modetate changes at this session
of Congress and taking up the tariff
question more earnestly after the sen
timent of the country has been tested
by another national election. Present
Indications point to this congress alt
ting well into the summer. In the
steel trade relatively few orders are
being received for the reason that big
buyers are economizing and deferring
