JOLTS AND JINGLES
By M Brawn
:. Peter Steenstrup is a Dull Mooso
to tho extent that be says, barring
none, Roosevelt Is the greatest man
who ever lived. That's going some
even for a B. M. but It shows his
sentiments.
Bear the above paragraph In mind
when we tell yon that Steenstrup en
tertained a Norwegian scientist on
tho trip to the lake. The scientist
possessed an impossible name so Mr.
Steenstrup said, "You won't mind,
will you if I call you by the name
of your king?"
"That's all right," the Norwegian
replied, "and I will do tho same by
you. Pass tho biscuits, Mr. Taft."
Tho little arrangement was called
and thereafter Mr. Steenstrup strug
gled with the unpronounceable name.
. AVe read the other day of a man
named Outlaw -who was arrested. for
stealing, but we don't dare spring It
lor fear someone will say we made
up the name to fit the case.
Therefore, you will note, we leave
It unsaid.
How doth the little' Bully Mooso
' 'Improve eaeh shining hour?
By calling names and seeking far
Opponents to devour.
THERE seems to be something peculiarly domornlfoinft
about market fishing just, as thoro is about market
hunting. 2$b law, designed for the protection of fish, and
hence to benefit the fishermen themsolvvcs in the long
run. is safe from violation, tf the fishermen cannot get
the fish fast enough legitimately, they immediately resort
to j 1 legitimate means.
The Rogue river and its tributaries was closed by the
people of Oregon to all except rod and line fishermen. The
latter have been permitted to sell salmon only when
caught with rod and line. That lias not prevented the few
market fishermen who haunt the stream from resorting to
both nets and dynamite.
Thousands of dead fish line the banks of the stream,
mute testimonials to the persistent lawlessness of tho
fishermen and suspicion points to the market fishermen,
for incentive is Jacking for others. The half-dozen nets
confiscated also speak for their illegal activity.
The season is too far advanced now to make salmon
fishing profitable. The fish are spawning and unfit to eat.
It is only an occasional one that is unspotted. Hence we
find the market fishermen devoting themselves to catch
ing steelhead and other trout, the sale of which is prohibit
ed by law. Go along the river, near the eamn of anv market
fishermen, you will find not only dynamited fish, but
various holes baited with salmon eggs for trout. Whv do
market fishers catch steelheads, except to violate the law
y seuing uicnn
j!ivcry iisn innrKec unit purchases stecinead or
othvr trout violates the law. Every person who purchases
them from the markets, or from the fisherman, violates
the law and is subject to arrest, fine and imprisonment.
It is to protect the fish and to restock the streams that
anglers pay their annual license. But what is the use of
tho.usauds so contributing when a dozen lawless fishermen
make a business of slaughtering more in a few minutes
than the hatchery can turn out.
The steelhead and trout are mostly marketed under
the guise of "gifts." The fish are "presents" from the
marcei iisnerman. jno money clianges Hands at tlio time
but it does subsequently or previously. No market fisher
man can make a living by carrying his catch from the river
to give away, and those supposedly law-abiding, respect
able citizens in conspiracy with him, ought to be ashamed
of themselves they are a miserable kind of sportsmen.
The wanton abuse of their privileges by market fisher
men can only have one result the absolute prohibition of
the sale of all fish, no matter how caught. By their illegal
acts, these fishermen have not onlv broiio-hr. imort ihmn.

(From the Congressional Investiga
tion Committeo's report.)
Pertinent facts about the steel
trust, Its organization and main
talnanco are summarized as follews:
1. The giant combine is a mono
poly in restraint of trade and there
fore clearly In violation of tho Sher-
"man anti-trust law.
2. That of its capital stock of 1,
4C5.0OO.00O more than $500,000,000
Is wnter, which can be absorbed only
through exacting excessive prices for
iron and steel products, by grace of
the protective tariff and control of
tho money market.
3. That It owns tho fees or lease
holds of more than 7G per cent, of
all the available Iron ore deposits of
tho United States, and., therefore,
controls tho raw material entering
into the manufacture of Iron and
steel to such an' extent that It Is in a
position to dictate prices of pig Iron,
seml-flnlsbed products and of all
finished product which It sees fit to
manufacture.
A. That through the ownership of
common-carriers, and of plant facil
ity lines which it has succeeded in
having recognized as common-carriers.
It enjoys advantages denied to
the ordinary Iron or steel manufac
turing concerns; that these advan
tages enable It to securo rebates
through tho use of devices prohibited
by law and to secure unfair divisions
of freight rates which aro In effect
rebates,
0. That Its directors aro presi
dents, vice-presidents or directors of
railroads having a total capitaliza
tion and bonded Indebtedness of
$10,365,071, 833, or more than 55
per cent of the total capitalization
and bonded Indebtedness of nil rail
roads ?18,417l.132,238 and that
tho influence so gained is sufficient
to control tho policy of those roads
In favor of the steel corporation.
C. That through a system of Inter
locking directorates tho steel corpor
ation controls tho groat banks In two
of the hreo central depository cities
of, the country Now York und Chi-,
pago and Is in a position to dom
inate the affairs of Industrial and
public utility -corporations (Express,
telophone, and street rallroud com
panics) huving u capitalization and
bonded Indebtedness of over f 4,000,
000,000. 7. That It pprphuscd Immunity
from prosecution through contribu
tions to Republican, campaign funds,
8, That tho panic of November,
1907, was promoted practically for
tho single purpose' of enabling tho
United States , Steel Cprporatlop to
absorb'' tho Teunesseo Coal & Iron
Company, a concern In splendid fi
nancial condition which had practic
ally a monopoly of the red ores of
tho Uirmlnghum district, which had
recently secured an order for 157,500
'tons of open-hearth rails from the
Harrlman Lines, and which was con
trolled by a syndicate of business
men who had purchased it as a per
manent investment and were rapidly
improving tho property; that Presi
dent Roosevelt permitted this viola
tion of tho Sherman Anti-Trust Act
at the behest of J. P. .Morgan & Com
pany. 9. That at the very time tho
Payne-Aldrlch Law was being enacted
at Washington for the alleged pro
tection of American labor, the Steel
Corporation's subsidiaries were ad
vertising at Pittsburg for Slavs, Rou
manians, etc
10. That tho Steel Corporation
has driven the labor unions from
every mine, mill and blast furnace
controlled by It, and from tho graln-and-ore
carrying vessels of the great
lakes.
11. That it sells stcol products
abroad for much less than to domes
tic. trade.. Ralls which cost less, than
$12 ton to produce are sold to Ameri
cans for $28 a ton, and to foreigners
us low as $20. The samo ratio holds
for structural steel in all its forms.
