MONTE CARLO, Aug. 4.—This miniature paradise
continues a cesspool of European morals. Even the
pungent perfume of its beautiful flowers is tainted
with the cloying scent of blood, gold and biabolical
deceit. The glow is the putrid phosphorescence of
humanity's dregs.
It is ever amazing that perhaps the fairest spot in
all Europe—tor to the eye Monte Carlo is enticingly
lovely—should cradle the worst thieves, panderers,
harlots, rogues and money lenders to be found on
the face of the globe. I am always sorry I came an

MIDWEST FIGHTS GRASSHOPPERS
Although Texas and the Southwest are accustomed
to grasshopper hordes nearly every summer, the Mid-
dle Western States seem greatly alarmed at the depre-
dations of these insects, which are reported to be
ravaging fields through Iowa, Nebraska and South
Dakota. The mild winter enjoyed by that section of
the country is being offset by the multitudes of hop-
pars which are mowing down everything in their
path
Texas, too. Is having its troubles in some sections
with this insect, but nothing more than usual. Nor
does Texas get banner lines in newspapers through-
out the nation because of grasshopper Infestation as
do the Middle Western States.

There is no reason why he state
should not have been able to pur-
chase supplies at th lowest figures
in many years. The Texas farmer
is selling his products at the low-
est price in years and some of them
perhaps at the lowest figure ever
disposed of. If the state could not
in turn effect a saving on its pur-
chases, it would be a strange situa-
tion indeed. But at that neither
the state nor the individual is able

trade only. One of the victims of the politicians in
the "trust" day* was the Standard Oil Company, Jie
slimy octupus which was supposed to be gouging the
common people in the orce of coal oU. Consequent-
ly the standard Oil Company was forced by court or-
der to dissolve into smaller units, a move which was
supgosed to make this giant concern harmless to the
puwde
Today, any one of thee* units into which the Stand-
ard was dissolved Is larger than the original company,
and furthermore, the merging process is making
bigger and bigger oil companies For some reason,
however, there is no public clamor of "trust" and in-
stood the courts are approving such moves The
Standard Oil of New York and the Vacuum QU have
been merged, making a company with world-wide
trade. Thirty years ago such a merger would be an
“tosue” for the two political parties, but today the
public no longer falls for the trust bugaboo of the
McWs.

canons, the soldiery, the police, hotel keepers, cab

a collossal brigandage to plunder the innocent visitor.
And a dozen trains roar in daUy to pour out the
victims.
It is not decorative Helton that suicides are Ire-
quent. During the season there are several weekly
but such messy scandal never reaches the outside
world. Monte Carlo sees to that. After a heavy loser
has shot, poisoned or hung himself his body is whisk-
ed away until interest dies down.
At the end of the season—this is official record
suicide victims are packed in cases, weighted and
sunk far out at sea between Monte and Corsica in
1898 alone 69 bodies were removed' at ’night from
secret crevices, towed out and dumped into deep
waters.
Monte Carlo’s biggest lure is tne fable its bank was
once broken. This fancy was cabled to all the world
and is still believed Yet it was a press agent trick.
The bank has never been broken nor can it ever be
broken. Mathematically that would be impossible.
This is, of course, the off season and things are not
at the usual pitch. The Casino is open but mostly for
low stakes. Today, for Instance, the crowds were
chiefly men in flannels and the ladles in Costumes

Despite the off-season, the Casino is not shorn of
its witch-like old ladles—the faded "Miss Harriets"-
who seem to keep alive solely through the excitement
of gambling Most of them are past 70-—one is reputed
m her 92d year—and every day they, are on the fringe
of the tables, like vultures coldly eyeing carrion. They
are the inveterate student* of the ’system’' and each
