MORE ANTI-TRUST LEGISLATION.
Hark. It is being whispered around
!n Washington that before the end of
the session congress is going to take
a spurt and do something and that
this something will be aside from the
currency legislation with which that
body is now struggling. In fact the
tip is that things are being shaped up
for Presidept Roosevelt through con
gress to land his parting body blow
at the trusts. In his recent message
the president vigorously urged addi-
tional legislation toward making the
anti-trust laws more effective than
they now are and said in part: “Not
only should there be action on certain
Jaws affecting wage earners; there
should also be such action on laws
better to secure control over the great
business concerns engaged in inter-
state commerce and especially over
the great common carriers.”

message during the present session. Is

C. Knox of Pennsylvania who is
slated for an important part in the
task. Senator Knox was the pioneer
government official in the work of
brirging ■‘he transportation companies
undei federal control and is conceded
to be one of the best Informed men
in the country upon this subject.
It was Mr. Knox then attorney gen-
eral who in 1902 recommended to
congress that in respect to railroad
‘rebates a penalty should be imposed
upon the incorporated carrier and thg
beneficiary alike and that the rigntH
of the courts to restrain such prac-
tice at the suit of the United States
should be provided for in new legisla-
tion He recommended that it should
be made unlawful to transport traffic
by carrier subject to the "Act to regu-
late commerce” and ''at any rate less
than such carrier's published rate
and that all who participated in the
violation of such laws should be dup-
ished. He recommended that compre-
hensive plans should be framed to
enable the government to secure all
the facts bearing upon the organiza-
tion and practice of concerns engaged
in interstate and foreign commerce
essential to a full .understanding
thereof. He recommended the act to
suspend the final decision of cases
under the anti-trust law. All of these
cases were promptly acted upon and
became laws before the expiration of
that session of congress.

nothing that would give me relief. Fi-

a misdemeanor committed by such
corporation; requiring every common
carrier subject to the law to publish
his tariff rates or charges and to
maintain them; making it unlawful
for any person or corporation to orrer
grant or give or to solicit accept w
receive any rebate concession or dis-
crimination in respect to the transpor-
tation of any property in interstate or
foreign commerce whereby such prop-
erty shall by any device -whatever bo
transported at a less rate than tae
rate published by the carrier; and
also making the rate published and
filed with the interstate commeret
commission the legal rate.
It provided also for the production
of all books and papers both by car-
rier and shipper which directly or
indirectly relate to the transactions
and the giving of testimony whether
such documents can incriminate the
party or not. The inseparable identi-
fication of Mr. FJnox with all these
gives color to th J reports that he will

AN'
HER OBJECT LESSON.
York Chicago and other con-
gp?fM centers have been having
trdubie with armies ‘ of unemployed
biff it remained for Detroit Mich. io
asimilar problem which con-
fronted that city and the solution
demonstrated that at least one "army
of the unemployed” did
seriously after work. The alleged un-
employed of Detroit to the number of
2500 paraded the streets crying out
for work. They assailed the city hall
and demanded work or food. The city
had no work to give but one of the
bright city fathers bethought him that
it would be a good scheme to dig a
canal across Belle Isle Detroit's is-
land park. Money was appropriated
for the purpose and when next the
army of the unemployed appeared and
demanded work the members were in-
formed that there was plenty of work
at good pay and aS they had to do
was to show up at Belle Isle at 7: 3F
the next morning.
The following horning the picks
and shovels were on hatjd and so
was the foreman who was to have
charge of the work. But alas where
was the army of unemployed. Ten men
appeared and accepted jobs. The other
U9O failed to arrive. Since then how-

“Peruna is one of the best remedies
for grippe cold in the head sore throat
nervtous headaches and coughs that has
ever been discovered. After the use of
one bottle in my family I don’t feel safe

In a later letter Mrs. Hayes says: “I

l lieves them. I don’t think I could find

BREATHITT COUNTY'S LATEST.
Judge James Hargis one of the
most picturesque characters and lead-
ing fuedist of eastern Kentucky has i
been laid in his grave and henceforth I
it is predicted Breathitt county will I
i have peace. Shocking as was his end ;
I to be shot to death by a drunken sou (
it was the sort of a finish that Hw-
I gis must have* expected as a climax -
to his bloody career. Two weeks 01-
fore he was murdered he picked out
the casket in which he was buried.
For years he was the leader of a
regime of lawlessness and bloodshed
in Breatsitt county. Three times with
others he ifas tried for murder and
acquitted.
The three murders with which he
was directly charged were those of
Dr. B. D. Cox James Marcum a lead-
ing attorney and James Cockrill.
of them were political enemies ot
Hargis and all of them were assassi-
nated from ambush. Testimony in the
trial for the murder of Dr. Cox was
that after the latter had been be-
trayed in the dusk of a spring even-
ing in 1902 by a Judas who hailed him
in a loud voice as he was passing*
। along the road in front of the Hargis
premises and had been shot from
| ambush Judge Hargis came out of
■ his yard with the nonchalant remark
"You got him boys. I heard him beller
I like a bull.” Notwithstanding this he
j was acquitted and during the next 12
■ months two more victims were added
: to the bloody annals of the Breathitt
county Hargis and anti-Hargis feud.
And yet this man was credited with
some good qualities. It was said ot
him that he never deserted a friend
and his generosity was a byword.

ENDED THE ARGUMENT.
THE courteous retort that does not
ruffle the temper while it puts
an end to further controversy is
a thing of beauty and one seldom met
with in this age of commercialism.
The street car conductors are a set of
men often abused without a chance
of a -‘come back” and it is sometimes
a pleasure to be the witness of an in-
cident that gives them the long end
of an argument without a breach of
courtesy. On an army post car yester-
day afternoon a well dressed lady
proffered the conductor a nickel cf
decidedly battered aspect. The man tn
the blue uniform turned it over in hi»
hand and shook his head.
‘Tm sorry madam but this is not
good” said he.
The fair one tossed her head a»d
said: “Well you ought to accept it.
as it was a street car that ran over
it and mashed it."
The urbane fare collector promptly
answered: ’’lf my car had run over it
I could take it. But you will have to
give it to the conductor whose car
did the damage.”
The argument went no further anjj
the lady carefully and with an air of
trying to recollect something de
posited the coin in her purse giving a
more prosperous looking nickel in ex-
change. There is trouble ahead for the
conductor on the guilty car if he
be located by a much injured person.
NO FAT WOMEN AT LYONS.
For true female grace and hand-

elegant; as a man would say just
right. I understand this highly orna-
