J*RIUE-FI\1\<. FOR MONOPOLY
PRODUCTS
Commenting on the action of the
tT.e news print payer trust iii ask
i'.j. tho Federal Trade Commission
*u f x a fair »>rie§ for its products,
• v uUii vu irooK
T?f action means not only an en
ormous saving to newspaper pub
lishers (provided reasonable prices
are fixed), but an entirely new func
tion fcr *he Federal Trade Commis
sion. The petition of the Manu
/scturers and the action that will
fo'low set a precedent for a great
ex'ension of the powers of this com
mission. Just what powers were
g ven it in the law nobody seems
»• know. Few persons, however,
h^.'c teen rash enough to tugges*
that i* had tho one power which
would justify its existence—the po^#
er to fix prices. Now comes a peti
tion from a powerful trust >n which
the commission is asked to do that
particular thing. It will of course
cmp.y; and the precedent will
lauuch it on a course of fixing pri
generally for monopolies. The in
cident is epochal. The Paper Trust
'h» Steel Trust, the Standard Oil
Tiust and other gigantic exploiters
of the public will have their prices
fixed for them by a Federal com
mission. By a happy turn of events
a power which congress did not ven
ture to give the Trade Commission
comes to it. It is to be hoped that
ptcraptly and decisively it will exer
cise that power—in time extending
I*s jurisdiction over every monopoly
in the nation. We see no other
remedy for the evils of monopoly
prite-fixlng.
UIVl-XE right surrendered
Grand Duke Michael is williug
to be sovereign of Russia, but he
dots not pretend to receive the
throng by divine right. Whether he
hs reacahed the conclusion that a
Romanoff has no more favor from
heaven than any other Russiaaj, or
is adjusting himself to the nation
al condition and sentiment, can
not bo ascertained. It is sufficient
for tho purpose that ho does not
propose to accept the throne as a
rich* conferred from heaven, but as
an agent of the people. If they
ask him to reiga he will undertake
it by 'he right that they confer up
on him. AVe may infer that if he
accep* authority from the people
he will use it in accord with the
i>eople's wish. The ministry which
he will establish will not J>e an em
peror's ministry. It uil he repre
sentative and responsible. This is
a fair inference from Michael's de
claration The last of the auto
crats of AH the Ruseias has dis
appear edt and tjie people, who bare.
h t.ifito served the Czar may Have
a Czar who considers himself a
s rvant of the paople.—Vancouver
Ex.
According to the Von Bernstorff
vifw national preparedness carried
out to the ultimate of German ef
ficiency consists in laying political
mines to be exploded or left dor
maa dependent upon what the othtfl
fellow does. He excuses the Ger
man-American plo* with the state
meu' that it was clear from the
instr-ietions to the German minister
at Mexico City that the German pro
posal was to have laid like a mine
in * :.e German legation to have
been made to the Mexican govern
ment only if the United States
should declare war on Germany. It
v.-ag hardly .possible, he said, to
act more correctly j diplomatically
taan this. The fly in this ointment
appears to be the failure to take
into account the patriotic Eeal and
lack of patience of tne German min
ister to Mexico. He couldn't wait.—•

Tacoma, JIarch 22—"The cross

tha woman designated by counsel as

and baby, who need the husband
and father back again," said At

appeal to Superior Judge Easterday
thi- morning to give Harry C. Ar
'"•ckie, confessed bigamist, a bus
oendM sentence. Judge Easterday,
after a stinging arraignment o£ the
tc*:-mueh married Seattle youth,
sentenced him to not less than one

.Yloaree reformatory. Judge Easter
fV y also severely criticised Wife No.

It was the anger of wife No.

Tacoraa, which Arbuckle felt when
he received the court's sentence,
for it is said that if she agreed to
drop prosecution. Arbuckle would

refused to budge from her Dosition

clung to wife No. 1.
"Can you tell me how you so far
forgot youdself as to marry a sec
ond woman?" said Judge Easter
"It was fancy, iufatuatjon," said
Arbuckle .
"Did you admire the character,
brihianc™. wit and wisdom of this
woman?" asked the court.
'No, your honor," replied the
abashed bigamist.
"We will take car§ of the wife
and tao.," Judge Easterday said,
"•■•s tuey will be eligible to the
uio'her'« pension. They will bear
fte rerj. But Arbuckle you
need time cloistered away from
others, where you may think over
your errors. You are a "weak man.
"And this woman who must
have known that he had a wife

tu° greatest indiscretion in not

Seward, March, 29—Linemen on
snowshoes have just completed, lay
ing the telephone and tenegraph
j £* r the government railroad across
a section of swamp in Susitna val
ley, whien is impassable in summer
and have opened communication
from Seward to the Talkeetna river
245 iriles out, or over halfway to
Fairbanks.
The northern end of the line is
now located at a camp bearing the
high sounding and euphonious

Equipment is provided so Mat the
wires of the commission can be
used for telegraph and telephone
at the same time, trains being dis
oatcfi'd by telepaone and telegraph
used for commercial purposes, all
of the lines being open to use by
the public at a very reasonable fee
compared to the cost of other means
o* communication.

NUMBER OP LETTERS
Sonndes, when I'm feeling blue,
Tired-like, and lonely, too,
I e?t letters ont and read them,
And I lind a lot of cheer;
Words o° comfort when I need them,
Good Ideas, something new;
Ah, 1 leel as if folk love me,
And 'lie sky seems warm above mtj
3*rai.gers seem like friends — and
near!
Letters—what they mean to me!
Putting cither lVCe> before me,
I 'ves that are so fine they awe me,
Simple lives quite like my own,
Lives as mellow as t\\e tone
Of an organ thrilling o'er me—
Words from folk I never see.
SomeHmes when I'm feeling blue,
Tired-like, and lonely, too,
I get letters out and read them.
Finding friends when most I need
them . 1
