Washington, June 27.—Why has the government been unable to con- the trusts? While this question has not as yet been definitely answered, the House investigating committee are bringing out testimony which tends to throw light on the subject at least to the end of showing that the great trusts of the country have at some time or an- other had most of the government prosecutors on their payrolls. United States Attorney-General Wickersham heads the list. Under oath he admitted that the last thing he did before taking charge of the prosecuting machinery of the nation was to draw down his share of a $26,000 fee from the sugar trust as a member from the New York law firm of Strong and Cadwallader. Henry P. Taft, brother of the Pres- ident, is still a member of this firm whose specialty is to show the sugar trust and other great industrial cor- porations how to evade the law and scape prosecution. That Frank B. Kellog, special coun- sel to the United States dnd widely advertised by the Republicans as the great trust buster, has received thou- sands of dollars from the govern- ment at the same time that he was re- ceiving big fees for acting as attor-. ney for subsidiary concerns of the! steel trust, was developed in testi- | mony before the Stanley committee. | It appears that Mr. Kellogg, be-, sides pocketing the $30,000 recently | paid him by the goverment for serv- ing as “trust buster’? under Roose- velt, also received from the steel trust $15,000 extra compensation for legal services rendered their corpor- | ations. On October 29, 1907, Mr. Kellogg. was proven by his own testimony and documentary evidence in posses- sion of the committee to have receiv- ed a second $15,000 for extra ser- vices. These sums were received by him PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR« The withdrawal of Paynter from the Democratic senatorial primary contest in Kentucky will leave a clear field for Representative ‘‘Ollie’* James, one of the mental and physi- cal giants of the National House of The first international convention of farm women ever held, will meet in Colorado Springs October 11 to 19. The object of the meeting is to dis- cuss better homes, sanitation, higher standards of living, nursing, hygiene, business management of farm houses anda general improvement of rural conditions. AN EXCELLENT WORK. Dr. T. F. Lockwood of this city is the author of a book just off the press, which should find a ready sale all over the state and and _ nation. Dr. Lockwood, who is a surgeon of high standing, having in mind the interests and welfare of the young man and womanhood of the country has issued his ‘Emergency Manual” which should be read and studied by every man, woman and child, and es- pecially by members of the Boy, and Girl, Scouts organizations, and by the teachers in our public schools. The work is a marvel of completeness, although it is not at all bulky in size, and deals concisely and thoroughly with such subjects as: Rabies or Hy- drophobia, Madstone, Swimming and | Diving, Rescuing the Drowning, Re- suscitating in Drowning and Gas Asphyxiation, Burning of Clothes, | Hemorrhage and Its Treatment, Faint- ing, Its Cause and Treatment; First Treatment of Wounds, Snake Bites | and Treatment, Domestic Antidotes | and Treatment for Common Poisons, Emergency Aid in Broken Bones, Randaging, Swat the Fly, Tobacco and Its Effect, irate School Emer- in addition to the regular salary re- gency Appliances, Pure Air the Life ceived by his firm from the trusts for | of Man. | Dg ah man. ars past, and the last pay-; The book, which is from the press MAI andy the asp ay | : ae ment was made in the midst of the! of The Butler Weekly Times, is print- panic and only two or three days be- ed in large, easily read type, on good, fore the famous conference of Gray paper, and is neatly bound in an at- tractive two-color cover. steel trust) with President Roosevelt, | whereby they gained the permission > .

Bread Trust Has Easy Sailing. A $25,000,000 bread trust which, will operate, to start within 21 large | cities, has been formed in New York | under the name of the General Bak-| ing Company. The alleged object of | the new octopus is to “educate the: public to a higher standard of quality | in bread.’’ Inquiry at the office of | Attorney General Wickersham elicited | the information that absolutely noth-| ing was known there of'the formation ' of ‘any bread trust.’”” The reply was | not unusual, as the Attorney Gen-, eral’s office is generally the last place | in Washington to go to for informa- tion which might be construed to ad- mit the existence of any trust.
