Washington, D. C, July 1. The sensation of the week was sprung Monday when Secretary of the Inte rior, Walter I. Fisher, cancelled the Cunningham coal claims in Alaska There are thirty-three claims aggre gating 5,250 acres in the heart of the Bering coal field. These entries were engineered by Clarence Cun ningham and his associates in the in terest of the Guggenheim syndicate, of which Senator Guggenheim, of Colorado, is a member, and which syndicate controls the railroads and the seaports'in Alaska. The field em braces not ouly the heart but the richest parts, and i3 considered by experts to be the richest coal fields in the world. Stephen Birch, mana ging director of the Guggenheim in terest in Alaska, last year told the Senate Territories Commitee that there were $500,000,000 worth of coal in these thirty-three claims, and that there would be $100,000,000 of profit for the people who developed them. Former Secretary Ballinger upheld the Cunningham people and caused President Taft to have Glavis, who was looking into these claims, dismissed from the Interior Depart ment, as was Pihchot, head of the Forestry service, and Price, his as sistant; but now the wheels have turned and Secretary Fisher, who succeeded Ballinger (forced to re sign), made searching inquiry into these claims, found them fraudulent and cancelled them, thus vindicating Pinchot, Price, and Glavis and saving these rich coal fields for the people. It is not supposed for an instant that the rich Guggenheim syndicate will relinquish these claims without a great fight, but we believe that they will be routed horse, foot, and dra goons. The position of President Taft in this matter is not an enviable,! one, but it is only fair to the Presi dent to believe that he was honest in his convictions, but was misled by the Cunningham, Guggenheim peo ple. Once more the rights "of the people triumph. Let us hope this steal, for steal it was, will forever debar the Guggenheims from Alaska claims. Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell, and Morrison, the labor leaders who were sentenced to jail for contempt of Judge Could's court, and which was carried to the Supreme court for final opinion and which court sent it back to the lower court be cause it was and error to jail for con tempt, have been adjudged guilty by the commission of lawyers ap pointed by Judge Wright in May, last, to decide the case and that they must appear in court July 17 and show cause why they should not apologize. We will see whether they consider their action demands an apology and if it does they will be forced to the conviction that the so-called freedom of speech guaran teed by the Constitution is a myth. The Root amendment to the Reci procity bill was defeated in the Sen ate late Monday afternoon on a viva voce vote. It is now believed that the reciprocity bill will pass at a much earlier date than was generally supposed and without amendment. Senator Penrose, who has charge of the bill proposes to have the Senate vote on it July 24, but it is not likely that this will be done as the insur gent Senators are not willing to set so early a date. Champ Clark, Speaker of the House of Representatives, says that if the Republican senators continue to fight among themselves the Dem ocrats of the House will at intervals, but persistently, send to the Senate more bills revising schedules of the tariff; according to the programme formulated by them months ago. This is what the Speaker stated at the White House Tuesday last. He had just come from President Taf t's of fice, who had sent for him and where he had been in conference with the President. The President does not want the tariff revised until after the Tariff Commission has gathered the facts, which the House does not seem disposed to wait for. Joseph F. Smith, Mormon leader In the cure of consumption, concentratedjeasUydigested nourishment is necessary. For 35 years s Emulsion has been the " standard, world-wide treatment for consumption. AiiDrnsgbtt I w.t r. Tw . . ill ir rTI in Scott' and prophet, testified before the House "Sugar Trust" investigating committee on Tuesday. He says h is president of the Utah Sugar Com pany, and that the deal of the Mor mon church and Henry O. Have meyer interest in the beet sugar business are entirely legal. The sugar business was their largest in vestment, and had no connection with any other sugar company. A climax to the investigation of State Department by the sub-corn mittee of the House Committee on Expenditures in the State Depart ment came with the recommenda tion that William H. Mitchell, for mer chief clerk, now consul general at Calcutta, India, and Thomas H. Morrison, disbursing clerk, be dis missed for the good of the service. The charge is in connection with the Day portrait scandal, and holds that on the face of the testimony given Colonel Mitchell was guilty of the misappropriation of the $1,600 in volved, and that Mr. Morrison was guilty either of gross incompetency or connivance with Mitchel. Turn on the light! Turn the rascals out! Quite a sensation was caused Wed nesday by George A. Earle, Jr., of Philadelphia, when he told the special Hardwick committee of his repeated and unsuccessful efforts in 1906 to induce President Roosevelt and At torney General Bonaparte to pro ceed against the Sugar Trust after the wrecking of the Real Estate Trust Company, of Philadelphia, by the American Sugar Refining Com pany. Me took a tew slams at Roosevelt nd spoke slightingly of Mr. Bonaparte's legal ability, and told how all proceedings against the Sugar Trust had been dropped, evi dently on orders from the highest governmental source, after Assist ant Attorney General Purdy had told Earle in 1901 "We'll send those to jail." In one letter to Roose velt he said, "It has often happened that you have been able to punish the oppressors of the public, but there has really been no occasion where there has been substantial evidence againstso many of the first rank, and I totally misjudge your character if you have lost your pref erence for 'large game'." In this case Teddy lost his preference for "large game," and lost it in other instances also. The Democrptic members of the committee enjoyed the testimony of Mr. Earle hugely. It certainly put the dry grins on the Republican members. In New York the Federal grand jury indicted eighty-four wire man ufacturers, representing thirty-five companies, Thursday, on the ground that they had violated the Sherman anti-trust law in having formed nine pooling associations which it is said acted in restraint of trade. The American Steel and Wire Company, one of the largest subsidiary con cerns of the United States Steel Corporation, was represented in seven of the pooling associations, and its president, William P. Pal mer, was indicted seven times. Jno. A. Roebling's Sons Company appears in eight indictments. The General Electric Company, the National Con duit and Cable Company, the Stand ard Underground Cable Company, the American Horseshoe Company, and the Hazard Manufacturing Com pany are also on the list. The gov ernment has a clear case against these violators of the law, and a number of others, and it is to be hoped they may be convicted and punished. No fines, but jail sen tences is the only thing that will act as a deterrent from further viola tions of the law by them and others of like ilk. Owing to threatened competition of the various steel companies an organization was effected of steel companies on April 1, 1901, with a total capitalization of $1,402,000,000 of the United States Steel Corpora tion. The concerns in the trust are the Carnegie Company, of New Jer sey; Federal Steel Company, Nation al Steel Company, American Steel and Wire Company, American Sheet Steel Company, American Tin Plate Company, American Steel Hoop Company, American Bridge Com pany, National Tube Company, Bes semer Steamship Company, Shelby Steel Tube Company, and Lake Su perior Consolidated Iron Mines in 1901; Union Steel Company, in 1902; Clairton Steel Company, in 1904; and Tennessee Coal, Iron, and Rail road Company, in 1907 .Competi tion was eliminated andenormous profits made from floating securities, with a stock commission to the un derwriting syndicate, which netted a clear profit of about $62,500,000 in cash. A few companies did not go into the merger. The value of the property did not exceed $700,000,000 in round numbers. The trust esti mates its assets at $1,000,000,000, but the Corporation Commission es timates its assets at $1;186,000,000 (an error, probably). The average profits for the past tenfyears have been 12 per cent. . The Scel Corpor ation allowed its underwriting syn dicate 1,300,000 shares of stock, half common, half preferred, of an ag gregate par value of $1301000,000 for the $28,000,000 in cash fit put up. This stock realized $9ojs00,000, so that the profit, after deducting the $28,000,000 originally pit up, was $52,000,00ft, of which 12,500,000 went to the syndicate managers for their services, the remaining $50, 000,000 to. the syndicate members. The strength of the Steel Corpora tion lies in its holdings skid control ing interest in iron ore an& ore trans portation. This is one of the most gigantic trusts ever organized (sugar probably as large) and some means surely will be found to dissolve the trust and allow competition, and thus reduce the price 6f iron and ironware to the people1 Let the good work go on. Keep up the fight. Expose the trusts-; and break them up. and thus benefit the peo ple. Observer. KEEDLESCUSTOSis. The Wonderful Intelligence of The Little Boney Bee. ' It is surprising how rrtany things pertaining to man and his progress springs up needless. In the advance these seedless things take hold and ever and anon without eUmor are in place. Apparently thelmushroom asserts fecundity and stays a while. It may be earth in its chemical anal ysis holds place and gives us God's bounty to His creatures. In the animate world bees are the curious denizens of earth. Their intelligence has not courted the wis dom of man, but the folklore of their colonies is a marvel to , those who challenge their ways. The honey bee is eminently the frieid of man. The legends of those countries cher ishing the love of . these hees are, as a matter of canity, -,'trj cngag- mg. Cornwall is in the highest degree the home of this lore. There be- twixt owner and hive was intimate , knowledge. Christmas morning the bees receive the compliment of the season just like other members of the household. Easter day they were told Christ was risen, and, a death occurring in the family, the ill news was whispered softly into the hive. Nobody inquired closely into the origin of these beliefs. They were accepted as needless. It is said the best beliefs are found in Corn wall. There these are archaic, and are adorned by wealth of details. It used to be the rule to whisper to the bees all the principal events which happened in the family, so they would not think themselves neglect ed or roused to anger. Honey was taken from the hive on St. Bartholo mew's day. In the East lovers extolled the eyes of their mistresses as like brown bees. Bees were not sold. They should always be bartered, the traditional price being a bushel of corn. - I may come back to the bee, holy Scripture having given him connec tion with events that transcend the common themes of this stumpy life. Judge R. T. Bennett, in Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligencer. Tne Oldest Liviog City. The oldest living city in the world is undoubtedly Damascus. Nineveh, Babylon, Tyre, Sidon, have gone their way; but Damascus remains, and that too, what it was before the days of Abraham, a center of trade and travel. Aside from any historical interest, Damascus is interesting purely as a commercial center. From it came our damson, our blue plums, and the apricot of Portugal called damasco; damask, our fabric of cotton and silk, with designs of vines and flowers raised upon a smooth bright ground; the damask rose, introduced into England during the time of Henry VIII; the Damascus blade fa mous for its keen edge and its re markable elasticity, the secret of whose manufacture was, it is said, lost when Tamerlane carried the ar tist into Persia; and the art of inlayj ing'wood and steel with gold and sil ver.

Did you ever hear of a cow being bitten by a snake ? Maybe you did, but it was only a report. The cow was not snake bitten. Something else caused the swelling you thought was the bite of a snake. At least that is what a gentleman who ob serves things and has handled cattle for a long time says, and he says, too, that he would be willing to turn the finest cow he ever owned into a pasture in which there was a rattle snake on every square yard of land. A cow in a pasture goes into the very places most infested by snakes, puts her nose right in the grass, weeds and briers where snakes are found, and is naturally more ex posed to snakes than any other ani mal, but you never see a cow shying around a snake-infested place, never saw her show any signs of fear of a snake, like a horse does. A cow has absolutely no fear of a snake, but they do say that a snake is mor tally afraid of a cow and will make most frantic efforts to get away from it, and if the snake cannot get away and the cow comes along and blows its breath on the snake that snake will be just as still as if it was made of stone. The great law of nature, which is perfect, protects the cow. If there was war between the cow and snake then the cow in the very act of getting her living would be exposed to the greatest danger and would surrender life in getting her daily food. The cow was not made to protect herself or young against the snake, but was so made as to protect herself against the beast of prey. Monroe En quirer. The Telephone. The 'phone Is a necessary evil. It is a nuisance and a botheration, but we cannot do without it. Have you not found it so? You sit down to dinner. The bell ring3. You re spond, and while your coffee and biscuit are losing their warmth, you chatter away on some trifling mat ter with a man or a woman who has already dined and has plenty of time. You get in bed and tuck the cover around your neck. The bell rings. You are afraid not to answer. Some body's house may be on fire, or some important message may be waitinj for you. So you crawl out, and in the thin garments of the night you stand in the hall and lift the receiver to your ear. The man at the other end wants to know if you can let his wife have a setting of eggs. And then you get mad, but you dare not let your friend know it. All you can do is to grit your teeth and crawl back in bed. Just as you get in the midst of a sentence in an important letter, or engage in an interesting conversation with a friend who has only a minute to stay, or start for a train with five minutes margin, the 'phone calls you to halt and you dare not disobey its command. It is an unmitigated bore, but you couldn't live without it. We have some sym pathy for the man who got mad and split his 'phone to kindling wood with an axe; but still that was very foolish.

Dr. Thomr s Graham Faulkner, who accidentally broke his neck several months ago while bathing in a stream near Dover, N. C, where he was a resident phy sician for the Goldsboro Lumber Company, left. the Virginia hospital today for his home at Kinston, N. C, feeling in fine spirits, though still paralyzed from shoulder to tip of toes. He was carried on a stretcher, ac companied by Dr. T. H. Faulkner, of Kinston, his father, J. B. Faulk ner, of Richmond, his uncle, and Miss Ettamae Newton, of Wallace, Va., trained nurse, who has been constant in attendance at the hos pital bedside ever since the young physician was brought to Richmond in the early spring. According to Mrs. J. B. Faulkner, Miss Newton and the young physi cian are engaged to be married, the two having met and fallen in love while Dr. Faulkner was an interne at the Virginia hospital last year fol ing his graduation from the Univer sity College of Medicine. Miss New ton will continue to nurse the phy sician at his home. Doctors say that while he may lin ger for some time he can hardly re cover. He is in full possession of his senses and uses his arms freely. The operation was performed on the fractured vertebra soon after the accident and is said to have been highly satisfactory. CLEAN NEWSPAPER BEST. Put Your AdverltssBent in Tfeose Thai go Into the Borne. "Put your advertisement in news papers that are fit to go into the home," was the advice of W. F. Lip man, of the firm of Lipmand, Wolfe & Co., in talking .to 100 ad men and members of the Portland Ad Club at the weekly lunch recently. The speaker wa3 acting as chairman of the day and before proceeding with the addreses on the programme he took occasion to digress sufficiently to give his views upon the "ad" question. He said: "Today 60 per cent, of the adver tising is accomplished through news paper. It is the most successful and the only correct medium when re suits are to be obtained. Today, no matter what the business, the first question to be deternrned is the ad vertising. Second comes the med ium, and it is of the medium which I wish to talk. Marshal Field, I be lieve, was said to have laid down the rule: 'First show me that the paper is the paper of the home and I will take up the question of the size of my advertising.' "In other words, Mr. Field held to the theory that the newspaper must ba a home paper, and to be a home paper you must first print the news that is fit to print. He always said that he never cared to advertise in a paper whose circulation was on the street and in the byways. 'Fake' advertising, even in the papers of the home, in the end will bring fail ure." Portland Oregonian. Fine Results in Vetch. Mr. A. D. Hudson had planted in vetch on his farm in No. 6 township eight acres. He threshed the other day 3,060 pounds of vetch seed from these eight acre3. Mr. A. G. Smith, the government expert, who is co operating with Mr. Hudson in the farming operations, says that this is the largest acreage ever threshed in South Carolina, and possibly the largest in the United States. The seed is worth 10 cents the pound and Mr. Hudson estimates that after allowing for a few oats that the vetch seed netted him $22.50 per acre. In addition to this he has cured about two tons of hay per acre, which is worth at lcait $15. CO per ton, making a total net per acre of $52.50. Mr. Hudson i3 so much pleased with the results of this experiment that he expects to plant at least 125 acres in vetch this fall. Newberry (S. C.) Herald and News. Kill More Than Wild Eeasfs.
