THY a it may. the Harvegtej" Trust cannot trmd it Yirtnom pnfih in peace. No sooner have Mr. Perkins and his benevo lent company caxefaHy explained how they phu1)er at the idea of iMng a tmet, how their dividend for yean havr avrrugid only 7 per cent., how they have increased wages !27 per cent, and spent million- trying to make patriotic Ainerrmn vtring out of American flax, how their one prayer is that politics may become pure -when along comes Mr. Hilles, Chairman of the Kepuhlican Nation al Committee, and with a few pokes of his pen the fat is in the firo again. Mr. Hilles is a nifty letter-writer. Ferliapo he finds Mr. Perkins an inspiring correspondent In any case the Republican Chairman not only sticks stoutly to his expressed belief that millions of Har vaster Trust money was spent in Mr. Roosevelt's pre-convention cam paign, but he also takes the opportunity to heave solid chunka of plain truth about Harvester motives and methods over the Perk in fence. "Whrn you formed far Harvetter Trutt," writet Mr. Hillet, "you created a monopoly ronfrollinp from II lo 00 per cent. Of the buslm-u in hurt rsftny implements which constitute, by far the molt important clat of agricultural implement. In ten years the properties of the company have Increased in value from $120,000,000 to H0,0O0fiO0. In the $ame period there have been paid to the stockholders by way of oaih and stock dividend! (including present surplus) a further turn of t80,000,000. If ice estimate 6 per cent, per annum a a rrov sonablr return upon the original capitalization, the investor would have received in ten ycart $71,000,000. It, therefore, appear that the ttockholdert have profited in addition to a liberal return upon the original capital to the extent of the mormoui increase in the valuation of the properties." After pointing out that huge sums of money wore spent to got Mr. Roosevelt "spontaneously" nominated as the sought and chosen of tha people, and that Mr. Perkins was one of the biggest subscribers t this "spontaneity" fund, Mr. Hilles returns to the charge: "The explanation that it made in your behalf it that you have entered upon the purtuit of philanthropy and that Mr. Hootevelt it the only man who can lave the country and make it a fit place for you to rear your children in. But at the tame Note you have been in effective control of one of the mott oppressive truttt thit country hat ever known, and you ttlll oting to your connection with thit monopoly. Hen may well doubt, therefore, whether the tole motive for your poHflral acHuitiet it the emancipation of tuffcring mankind from foetal (Brattice." This is plain talk and leaven the spectator with a pained sense of Mr. freorgc W. Perkins shivering immodestly in the open, without tfce garments of righteousness and philanthropy in which he is wont oo carefully and gracefully to drape himself. Mr. Perkins has not progressed as far along the route of philo sophical self-effacement as his friend, Mr. Morgun. Mr. Morgan told the Clapp Committee that when he wanted something that he knew woo bad for him he hoped he wouldn't get it or words to that effect. Not so Mr. Perkins and the Harvester Trust and the Colonel. They want what they want when they want it. And what they mostly want lo one another.

TILTING AT EXPRESS RATES. ."HE Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington is st'll I listening to arguments for and against the reduction of express rates. Counsel for the express companies and tha railroads pile up gloomy estimates of deficit and loss if the proposed rates are made effective. Profit for the express companies thus far in 1912 are claimed to bo less than 4 per cent. On the other side it is pointed out that the express business is now so prosperous that the companies are paying the railroads if 5 per cent, more revenue than previous to 1000. The sitting of the Commission lias had its bright spot. A St liouis lawyer, announcing Itiat lie appeared for "one hundred million uncrowned kings and queens of America," smote the express com panies hip and thigh, and furthermore declared: "I have ceased practising in half the courts because I found them to be merely the refuge of thieves and murderers!" The grateful "hundred million" pricked up their ours and got ready to cheer. Hut, like the guinea pig at the trial in Alice in Wonderland, the champion was "sup pressed." The truth of the matter is that the express companies and tha railroads are merely trying to make all as tight as they can n weather the blow thev know is coming. Thev foresee only too rlearlv that sooner or later the growth and familiarity of a parcels post is bound to force them to terms. Therein lies the hope of the public OCTOBER 12, 14M.

Go then and tpend your moneys wisely, that the. bread which ye cast upon the waters m return unto ye in the form of wedding cake." And the damsels were delighted and rejoiced mightily. ".Vote," fold the first, "I shall be able to Cultivate my Talents and to oo flulre a College Education. And, lo, when I return from the Highbrow In stitution I shall SHINE in the world. For Knowledge is Power." "And I," said the second, "shall go into business and invet my shekels) wisely. For with plenty of MOSEY one car. buy all things, from an automo bile unto a husband." But the third was silent, pondering long and deeply. And in the morning she arose and went forth into the shopping district, returning at eventide with seven kinds of fare powder, tnelvc jars of Bloom, ot Beauty, twenty pounds of fine hair, one Miracle Corset and a quart of Bouquet d" Amour, together with numberless hats, gowns, tachett and ' rtcipet. Then her sisters mocked at her and her mother wept, but it (trailed them nothing, for her three thousand shekels were gone. Xuw, when the first damtel had returned from college, filled with ism and covered with glory, her moneys were likewise all spent. But being highly EDVCATED, she straightway obtained a clerkship in a law office at ! twelve shekels per week and became of t'SE in the world. And afti-r many years of honest poverty andnnble toil she died, still singla but hiahly RE SPECTED. And everybody said of her: "Poor thing!" And the second damsel invested her shekels in a Temple of Dressmak ing, wherein she labored from morn till eve. making wondrous creation for other women to wear. And, even as she had said, she waxed RICH and bought herself an automobile and a husband. But when the latter had spent all her moneys and mortgaged her motor car he departed for fresher pas tures. And all the rest of her days were devoted to the paying of his debts. But the, third damsel donned her glad raiment and went forth in search of adventure. And all men tcho looked at her were stricken and exclaimed: "How womanly! Yea, how adorably feminine!" And it wot not long era one of them cried: "Behold, THAT it the decoration which I have been teeking for my dinner tablet" And thereupon he married her, and all the dayt of her Hfe the wot cov ered with furs, and jewels, and petting, and flattery.
