Tlfe ease with which Japan is floating builds will add to the pugnacity of the little brown men. Altogether the out- t tonal OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE PEOPLE look for peace is gloomy. Meanwhile the cost of continuance is almost tinaiicialiy suicidal to the GET HIS MONEY. loser. Russia's war expenses In 1904 were nearly $400,000,000. The present IiiNi'UMNioii of the righteousness of rate Is about $10,000,000 a week, or money from Mr. Rockefeller over $500,000,000 a year, with every for evangelical purposes goes merrily pros peel of the expense Increasing on. Extremists on both sides rapidly as the war Is prolonged. Unde Barn's public debt was Inwarming to the subject. Those of the church society who op- creased $2,000,000,000 In the four years pose acceptance of the gift take the of the Civil war, and a conservative Rusground that money obtained by Rocke estimate place the money cost to feller in rebates from the railroads sia and Japan of the past year's war is a robbery of oil companies com- at a billion dollars. peting with the Standard. In other words, they claim that the Standard forces the railroads to rob the Standard's competitors and to turn over to the Standard the money so obtained, They further maintain that this extortion was no less reprehenslblle when there was no law to forbid it, since railways which are chartered under public law should render to all the people eiual service. Yet, that would be a rule very diffthroughout the business world. It Is a matter of knowledge that the big and steady customer of any business house is the recipient of favors not extended the 'small and occasional customer. A sack of sugar costa leas per pound than four bits' worth. The $100 depositor in any Ogden bank would hardly expert from that bunk accommodations that would be offered the $100,000 depositor. His business Is not worth as much to the hank. Either of our two railroads will carry a sack or a carload of .oats to Salt Lake, but it would hardly be reasonable to expect the mad to set out a car convenient for the loading of the single sack. Any dry goods store of Ogden would deliver to any city1 address an order of reconalderaBle aise, but It would cusoccaelonal quire nerve for the tomer of that store to aak It to deliver a paper ef pina to an address a mile away. The same lawyer who charges you a notary fee might swear hla big client free, and you can't complain. Whether It la right or 'wrong, that rule prevails in all lines of commerce and even among the professions. It is simply the catering to large cusicult to enforce tomers or clients or Influential or concerns of those who want the money. Suppose Rockefeller doe force railroads to rob his competitors for hla company's aggrandisement; will not his $100,000 do as much good, well Will It spent, as any other man's? ' not do more good In the hands of a wise committee than In Rockefeller's vault? To carry their theory to Its logical conclusion the Gladden folks each would have to contributor to the hat that Is passed Sunday morning in church. This doc tor dropped In a dollar. He got it from grocer who had a sore throat The grocer got It from a caterer who bought fine' sardines which he served to a midnight coterie of green cloth knights "who got the dollar from their sucker. Therefore, the dollar Is tainted and should be returned, to the sucker in stead of helping to feed some penniless widow. So It would go through hundred Illustrations. While there 1s an Intense public sentiment against Rockefeller, due largely to the fact that he has outdone all his competitors, he yet remains uncon vlcted of any violation of law and so long as he Is In good standing the more money the churches and univer-- . slties receive from him the better. Og' ilen's public library is doing Just as much good In Ogden as though It had been built by thousands of subscriptions from poor people Instead of being the gift of Carnegie, who haa been cursed nearly as much as Rockefeller. cltl-se- cross-exami- ne t ns GARFIELD'S ABSURD REPORT. Sale Special - - of all - - The absurdity of Mr. Garfields findings with regard to the beef trust, which he claimed to have Investigated, Is shown by reading a statement issued by Cuthhert Powell, commercial editor of the Kansas City Journal, whose business it ha been for many years to keep close watch on the packing and live stock interests. Mr. Powell's figures do not by any means Justify the claim that any of the packers have been losing money, as It was suggested in Mr. Garfield's report was often the case; nor do they Justify the enutentinn made by Mr. Garfield that the meat monopoly has made only a net profit of 2 per cent. Applying the average profit of $7.41 on cattle. 20 cents on hogs, 50 cents on sheep and 50 cents on calves, to the total number of head killed in a year by the combine's packing houses, Mr. .. Powell finds a total profit of $47,727,-412He concludes: Figuring up the undoubtedly total capitalisation, leuvily watered, of $110,500,000, we have 43 per cent Quite a difference between Mr. Garfield's 99 cents profit per head and Mr. Powell's $7.41 profit, and quite a difference between Mr. Garfields 2 iter cent net profit and Mr. Powell's 43 . per ODD DRESSERS THEY ARE THE NEWE3T DESIGN8, HIGH GRADE AND HAND80ME, BUT THEY ARE ODD.

The agitation of the matter, by the press and people, however, has caused the company to modify Its demands, though not to the extent desired.
