ONLY BABY ELEPHANT

SEEK DISSOLUTION
OF STEEL TRUST
Washington, June 19. Dissolution
of the United States steel corporation
as the arch enemy of the anti-trust
law and of the independent steel bus
iness of the United States was a de
. mand voiced today by progressives of
both the republican and democratic
parties, as a result of the findings of
the Stanley Investigating committee.
J. Pierpont Morgan, leading spirit
in the steel trust. Is alleged with his
: Personal asselates to have reaped a
profit of 1636,000,000 from the or
ganization of this one company.
The dissolution of the giant monp-
oly is urged on the ground that it con
stitutes a monopoly of raw material,
and also as a holding company In de
fiance of a former decision of the
supreme court In the case of the
'Northern Securities company, a rail
road combine.
It is declared by Congressman Stan
ley, chairman of the committee, that
Mr. Morgan fled the . country to es
cape appearance before the commit
tee. It Is alleged that the eminent fi
nancier organized the National Tube
company as the first steel trust, and
in order to prevent a war with John
D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie,
Morgan then organized the consoli
dation which became the United
States Steel Corpratlon. The Inter
national Steel Institute, organized at
Brussels about a year ago, Is also con
demned by the invstlgators as the
nucleus of a world-wide steel trust.

"The only baby elephant In Ameri
ca," Is to be one of the crowd-drawing
features of the big Elks' Circus,
which Is to present two separate and
distinct programs here on the after
noon and evening of June 28. At
least this Is the disclosure covertly
made this morning by none other
than Judge Fltz Gerald and woe unto
the man who questions the Judge's
truth and' veracity, for Incarceration
for three days on bread and water
shall be his. The announcement will
be received with great manifest
pleasure by Umatilla county people
inasmuch as "the only baby elephant"
advertised by the Sells-Floto circus
shuffled off Ita mortal coll In this
city before the curious crowds had an
opportunity to dilate their pupils in
staring at it.
"You see." said the staid police
court official in speaking of the mat-'
ter this morning," when the Sells
Floto circus lost its peculiar and
prideful distinction with the death of
"Little Hutch" In this city, the local
Elks Immediately realized that ,ah
opportunity was presented to it. Be
fore any other show could secure the
monopoly on infantile pachyderms
held for several months by the Sells
Floto aggregation, the Elks immedi
ately set about to secure one of these
precious treasures and sent a writ
ten request to congress for protection
under the laws framed for the bene
fit of Infant Industries. After two
weeks of Indefatlgueable labor, our
dreams have come to a realization and
we take great pleasure In proclaim
ing to the world that with the Elks
Circus Is now the only baby elephant
in the sovereign states of America."
"Did Its mother disown It when It
waa born?" asked the reporter In an
attempt to get a little human Interest
for his story.
"Alas no, it never had a mother,"
was the answer, "or if it did we were
never notified. It was shipped to us
In Its own trunk."
The reported failed altogether to
comprehend this explanation but
looked intelligent and sympathetic in
an endeavor to conceal his blunt wits
and started again.
"Have you any theory as to its
origin?" was his next question.
"Some pretend to believe that It
is a descendant of the O. O. P. ele
phant come to succeed Its parent In
the domination of American politics,"
quoth the Judicial one.
"Is there any truth in the report
that the Elks are trying to perpetrate
a fraud by disguising Fat Graham as
a baby elephant?" was the final
query.
"Absurd," said the Judge. "The
report emanated from some one's de
ductive imagination. He reasoned thut
because Graham Is not an Elk he
must therefore be an elephant."
Whereat the reporter ceased his
efforts to learn more of the elephant
ine wonder with the Elks' Circus and
will attempt to get an Interview with
the creature Itself.

In Ontario Institutions.
UNCI
E SAM'S MEN
NOT WELL PAID
E. B. Conklln, superintendent of
the Pendleton public schools before
J. H. Landers, the present Incumbent,
has evolved a new course in the On
tario schools which he has been
superintending for the past few years.
He Is giving credit to the boy and
girl who attend to their duties about
home and thus secure the co-operation
of the parents. The following
Is a dispatch which appeared In the
Portland Journal of yesterday:
Ontario, Or., June 15. E. B. Conk
lin, city superintendent of Ontario,
has been giving credit at school for
work done at home during the past
four months and finds the results
highly successful. The Ontario school
children have thoroughly enjoyed the
scheme, and have spilt wood, swept
floors, and washed dishes with an un
precedented vim, while the parents
have co-operated by sending reports
of their home work to the school-once
a month.
Mr. Conklln got out a printed home
work card to be signed and graded
by the parents and returned to him.
The grades are the same as those on
the regular school cards: E, excel
lent; G, good; F, fair; P, poor. The
parents have graded each child on
such duties as sewing, mending, bread
making, cooking, setting and serving
table, washing and wiping dishes,
washing and Ironing, sweeping, mak
ing beds, mopping and care of kitchen,
care of younger children, making
fires, getting water, coal, kindling,
etc , feeding stock or poultry, milk
ing cows, barn or yard work, garden
or field work, errands.
This card also includes character
development and asks the parents to
grade such qualities as cheerfulness,
kindness, order and care of clothes,
table manners, politeness, keeping
temper, care of language, courtesy to
parents, kindness to animals, ambition
o succeed ond doing things without
being told.

Washington, June 19. It has long
been the comment in Washington that
Uncle Sam doesn't pay his scientific
experts very well. There are many
men of great activity and experience
In the government service whose sal
aries come within the $2500 mark
and many others who do not get over
$2000. All of these are, of course,
graduates of colleges many of them
have master's and doctor's degrees
and many others have spent several
years In research work or In study In
foreign universities It Is conceded
that a good deal of honor attaches
to a government position of this kind
and there are many persons who
think that the surplus dignity and
distinction supposed to attach to
these positions does not make up for
the lack of pecuniary compensation.
Here is a recent case: Dr. George
F. Mitchell, expert In tea culture for
the United States and an employe of
the department of agriculture, has
been receiving $1600 a year. He haa
charge of the government's tea farm
at Summervllle, S. C, and his opinion
and Judgment are relied upon in all
matters concerning tea. Recently
Dr. Mitchell was assigned by the
treasury department to supervise the
Inspection of all Importations of tea.
For this responsible work six months
In the year he will receive $1200.
The remaining six months he will
continue his tea farm experiments
and other work for the department
of agriculture and will receive for
that $800. A total of $2000 a year
for one of the most responsible tasks
in the government service.

TARIFF PROGRAM
OF
REPUBLICANS
Chicago, June 19. The tariff will
be revised downward, if the republi
can party is returned to power, no
matter whether Taft or Roosevelt
controls the national convention.
This was made certain when it was
found that the leaders of each faction
have determined that they must admit
to the people that the tariff issue Is
dominant. Both of the factions will
declare for a scientific downward re
vision of the tariff. Each will make
the point that while American labor
must be protected the fact that trust
made goods are sold abroad profit
ably at less than half what is charg
ed In the United States shows that
the present rates are too high. But
In one respect the platforms will dif
fer. The Taft platform will' insist that
the present tariff board is meeting
the situation squarely and that its
