S end for edverti-itog rates The vigorous agitation started in New York for a relentless invest- gation and prosecution of the sugar trust ought to bear some kind of wholesome and tangible fruit. There is a stage of public sentiment concerning outrageous offenders against public decency and com mon honesty that cannot be with stood, even when such offenders are rich and powerful and badly entangled with political official machinery. Such a sentiment is rapidly developing against the thieving sugar trust. It is a wise oracle who knows what to say next when he has called public attention to an evil endured or a danger threatening. Such a “prop het ¡6 James J. Hill, unquestionably the great man of the great New West. H e has pointed out that the one indis- pcnsible industry in this country, the growing of grain to feed itself, is in danger from lax methods of agriculture and a truly American habit of rushing off to new lands in preference to keeping up the fertility of lands severely cropped. T h e new lands are about exhaust- -<d and American enterprise is fast filling up the Canadian west. It is only just to say that Mr. Hill does not write as an alarmist. He has abundant precedent in history for the very w’orst that may be fall the great food producing in industry that lies at the base of natural prosperity because what it produces it brought from nature and actually added to the sum of hum an wealth. James J. Hill stands today with out a rival in the transportation world and he will be virtually in com m and of all the railroads con trolled by both the Standard Oil g ro u p ‘and the Morgan crowd. T h e day when all the railways of th e country will be under the con trol of one interest and have bpt one head is approaching rapidly. W hen that comes to pass the rail road organization will employ m ore men, receive and disburse m ore money, do more business and have more power than the governm ent of the United States. It will be in a position to control the government itself. There is little danger, however, that this enorm ous power of control will be exercised. W hen it is conclu sively shown that one interest and o n e man can successfully conduct the transportation business of this country, the men who own the vast consolidated system will matt overtures to sell it to the govern m ent at its physical valuation, ae cepting in payment therefor the bonds of the government. This offer will probably be accepted as J ie governm ent cannot afford to nourish a creature larger than it- aelf. * And the above view is held by a great many dose observers of -jwbiic affairs and is no economic dream .

The astronomers calcu lations indicate that the famous comet will cross the face of the sun May 18th, and its great nebu lous mass will undnubfediy p rfs near us, but that it will actually graze our planet can be positively ascertained only by later observa tions of the diameter of the head of the comet and its exact path dur ing May, relatively to the orbit of the earth. Bishop Chandler can not be re garded as expressing the sentiment of the south in his denunciation of Mr. Carnagie's gift of $1,000,000 for the eradication of the hook worm disease for that region Science and common sense are both against the Bishop. It is futile to deny the existence of the hookworm disease, and quite as futile to decry the efforts of those who are generously endeavoring to eliminate it. Mr. Camagie is no squanderer of money. Not even his most virulent critics have accused him of throwing his cash away. 1 le always looks for results, whatever may be the form his benefactions take, and the an nouncement that he gives $1.000,- OOff to fight the hookworm disease may be accredited as sure proof that such a disease does exist.

Apart from the moral stigma of a government being engaged in what is, to all intents and purpose, a lottery, the plan involves a vast and unnecessary expense and therefore works injustice to the many thousand who fail to draw a lucky number. The government will have to devise some more equitable scheme of disposing of its remaining lands. - POLICIES OF PRESIDENT TAFT. L IV E R Y , F E E D A N O S A L E S T A B L E S . C» R.
