Trusts Not Dangerous,

Natural laws, after all, are stronger
than the contrivances of man." writes
George A. Rich in The Popular Science
Monthly. It is Mr. Rich's opinion that
the great Industrial trusts and monopo-
lies which are favorite form of enter
prise at present do not need laws to pre-
vent them from becoming extortionate
and oppressive. Give them rope enough,
and they will hang themselves, in his
judgment. That has already proved
true of the Cordage trust, at any rate, he
thinks. ...
The plan whereby great trust works
its own undoing is as follows: It unites
the corporations engaged in the manu-
facture of certain article into one great
company. All join in-the weak and
worthless, with little capital and anti
quated and wornout machinery; the
powerful and prosperous, whose heads
are hustlers and whose plants are up to
date. The whole is capitalized at more
than its market value. A paper value is
to make things look just right, divi-
dend of 7 or s per cent a year must be
paid.
Perhaps the corporation succeeds for
a number of years in paying this. It
| gets the name Of being a powerful and
rich company and of making great re-
turns on its original investments. Cap
ital looking for investment surveys its
field and finds a good opening for rival
company manufacturing the same arti-
Gle. The rivals enter the field with new
machinery and carry no dead weight of
old fashioned methods or old fogy men.
They have the advantage in that they
can utilize every dollar Of their capital,
and thus the old trust is brought tc
grief. It may be again that the old
trust puts up it's staple to an extortion.
ate price and feeces the public. In this
case, as in the other, rival companies
start and correct the first one. This was
the reason for the downfall of the great
copper syndicate in France and Amer
lea, second in its disastrous results only
to the Panama scandal itself.
The law is inevitable. Enormous prof
its lead to the establishment of additional
independent plants. Mr.. Rich remind
US that, powerful as the American Suga:
Refining company is, it has never beer
able to control the market for any length
of time.

Odd Fellows Celebration.


The Odd Fellows anniversary cele-
bration held in their hall Monday
evening in commemoration of the 18th
birthday of the order in America, was
attended by over two hundred persons.
The weather was of the worst possible
type, yet despite it's inclemency, the
citizens Of the village managed to get
to the hall between showers and en-
joyed pleasant evening. w. G.. Nye,
of Minneapolis was on the program as
orator of the evening, but owing to the
strike and a sprained ankle, could not
get here. w. H. Wells, of Montevi-
dec, Grand Master of the State, and
A. H. Bolton, of St. Paul, Grand Secre-
tary, got here in due season on the
Anoka accommodation. G.. A. Eaton
was selected as toast master of the
evening, and presided in an easy Off
hand way introducing the speakers of
the evening with spicy remarks that
were promptly responded to by the
orators. Grand Master Wells and
Grand Secretary Bolton delivered ad-
dresses setting forth the merits of the
order and its benefcient work in the
ranks of mankind. Rev. J. S. Bouck
also spoke of the rise and growth OF
Oddfellowship ending on behalf of the
local lodge in extending hearty well
come to the assembled guests. The
Singers rendered some beautiful selec-
tions in a creditable manner. At the
close of the program in the lodge hall
the guests repaired to the adjoining
hall to partake of as fine supper as
has been set before the people OF
Princeton for many day. The ladies
of the Dorcas society prepared the re.
past, and too much credit can not be
given them for what they did in the
way of variety of food and its tasty ar
rangement on the laden tables. One
hundred and eighty people ate supper
AS many more could have partaker

exhausted. The grand officers left or

For Summer Study.

Teachers and students in university
extension work will hold their summer
meeting this season in Philadelphia. This
is partly because the University Of Penn
sylvania offers exceptional advantages
in the way Of libraries, laboratories and
other inducements to Students.
The course begins July 2 and ends
July %. The studies are different from
those adopted by the Chautauqua circles,
equally excellent in their way. The uni
versity extension course contemplates
the taking up of advanced studies at a
point where the ordinary college leaves
cfe. The departments considered excep.
tionally strong and we'll equipped for the
coming summer course are those of ped.
agogy, economics and sociology. The
whole scheme is designed to be especially
helpful to persons already engaged il
teaching. It will lift them out Of the
mere school textbook atmosphere into
the higher realm Of the philosophy ani
abstract principles of the various
branches pursued. We have at presen
little of this profounder kind Of learning
in America.
In the deeper, wider knowledge in
struction will be given at the universit,
extension summer school, among othe
things, in psychology, music, art, itera
ture, history and civics. Edward Ever
EFT Hale, the man who stirs up thought
will be one of the lecturers. Saturday
will be devoted to short excursions whic]
convey object lessons in history.

An Amusing Fallacy.

The idea that you can get better
values by buying your clothes ready
made is one reason why you spend so
much money and never look we'll
dressed. Now your neighbor has a suit
made, he chooses good material, has it
stylishly cut and we'll put together, and
when he puts it on it gives him the
appearance of a we'll bred man, and in
the end pays less money than you. 7

new spring and summer goods which
I am making up at prices to CORES
pond with the times and which you can
afford to pay. Drop in and see me.
