Antitrust Decisions.

Boston Herald.
The whisLey Trust decision by the
Supreme Court of Illinois makes an
important addition to RI cent ants
trust judicial rulings, h c,use it
brushes aside the del use greatly
relied on by the trusts that monop.>
listic combinations cannot be charg>
ed when there is but one ccrpora>
ton in the case. In other words,
while it may be unlawful for two or
three corporations to combine to
control production or stihe competi,
ton, the moment they lose their
individuality and become merged in
one corporate organization they
cease to be obnoxious to anti>trust
law But the Illinois court holds
that if a trust agreement between
individuals or corporations be re
puenant to public policy AID illegal,
it is impossible to see why the same is
not true of the corporation of which
it is the basis. There is no
magic in corporate organization
which can purge the trust scheme of
its illegality' is a dictum in which
the skillful organizers of some of
these combin atoms will see pres
monition of coming dissolution.
The anti>trust law of Illinois hap~
pens to be one of exceptional
severity, but, without express status
tory enactment, trusts stand con-
demned by the common law in res
straint of trade in every State of the
Union.

have very large sleeves and wide
sailor collar that sets out over the
shoulders. The front falls straight
and full from the throat, and at the
back q little yoke Is set under the
collar to prevent bagging. These are
made very long, dragging in the
back and hanging about the feet in
front. One is not supposed to go
walking about in them, as they are
for reclining wear. and in the ham,
mock the extra length gives graceful
drapery about the feet. When the
wearer walks the gown is gathered
up in cloud, displaying the sweep
ing under robe. Turkish slippers of
satin to match the color of the gown
complete the rig charmingly, and
such get-ups are by no means expen-
sive.
Dressing jackets are a part of every
dainty DANES wardrobe now. These
come to the hips, are absolutely
shapeless, and have high collar
that reaches half way up the head in
the back. They are finished all about
with quilted ribbon, and are made in
gay colored silks.

A NiOnslrosity.

Wilmington Star.
We contend that no country can
be truly called prosperous when
only certain favored classes can ac-
cumulate. no matter how much they
accumulate, and when the body OF
the people, the toilers and producers,
do not share that prosperity. If one
man out of a hundred makes a for
tune of millions, and the ninety and
nine make nothing but what they
eat and wear, there is no prosperity
in that, and that is about the pro-
portion of the wealth amassers in
this country within the past three
decades. The public policies, finan
cial and otherwise, which make such
a condition possible, are a monstros
ity which should be countenanced by
no people who believe that the best
and the soundest policy is that which
is best for all, which gives all a chance.
and discriminates in favor of no par
ticular class, as the monetary system
and the tariff system had done for
three decades, centering wealth and
power in the hands of the few, and
making the many practically their
helots.

The Fate of a Rloomer Wearer.

from the w AGO news.
Even as virtue is it's own reward
so the bloomer brings it's own pun
ishment. Witness the case of Mis- 8
Fuhr, of New York. She wore bloom
ers, doubtfully, at first, of course,
but with increasing hardwood and
confidence. At length the boomers
entirely won her confidence. She
even put her money in the right hand
breeches pocket of item. Then came
n robber in the night md demanded
her money or her life. Speeches.
with fright she pointed to the bloom
ers-those blue, shapeless, PREACHER
GUS boomers. The robber thrust his
hand in the pocket and drew out the
money and fed. If Mamie Fuhr had
worn a skirt and put her money in it
the robber would have been looking
for the pocket book still. Women
will find out sooner or later that the
bloomer is a broken reed to lean
upon.

The Young Baptists.

The International Convention of
the baptist Young Peoples Union of
America, which is to meet in Balti-
more ON July IS, will be one of the
most interesting religious events of
the year. Ten th ousand visitors are
expected, and every State in the
Union will be represented, as well as
Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Mex
leo. The Baptist Church in Baltimore
is a strong and growing body and
includes in it's membership many
prominent and valuable citizens,
whose energy, business ability and
character have contributed greatly
to the city g progress and reputation.
Baltimore will give her Baptist
visitors warm welcome and the
right hand of fellowship. Although
they are fond of water we are sure
they would rather have sunshine
during their convention, and we
trust the weather bureau will ar
range for clear skies during Their stay
with us.

An Aristocracy of Brains Plus Cash.

An aristocracy of brains-that is to say.
an aristocracy composed of individuals
successful and prominent in their several
callings-seems to be the logical sequence
of our institutions under present social
and industrial conditions The only aris-
tocracy which can exist in democracy Is
ono of honorable success evidenced by
wealth or u handsome income, but the
character of such an aristocracy will de-
pend on the ambitions and tastes of the
nation. The inevitable economic law of
supply and demand governs here as else
where and will govern until such time
as society may be reconstructed on an en-
tirely new basis. Only the leaders in any
vocation can hope to grow rich, but in pro-
portion as the demands of the nation for
what is best increase will the type and
characteristics of these leaders improve.
The doing away with inherited orders Of
nobility and deliberate, patented class dis
tinctions gives the entire field to wealth.

MR.. AND MRS. THOMAS HARDY.


emily had formed a very correct idea of his
abilities, urged him to forsake architecture
cor literature. He did so, and his first
novel, desperate Remedies was en-
tirely copied by his faithful wife before it
went to the publisher, in 1871. The novel
was we'll received, and during the two
years following Under the Greenwood
Tree and "a Pair of Blue Eyes were
presented to the public.
In 1874 Far From the Madding Crowd
gave its author place alongside the lead
ing living English novelists. Numerous
other novels have come from his pen and
have been printed simultaneously in Eng
land America, Australia and India. A
few years ago his powerful novel, TESS, !"
created a great literary sensation.

MAKING OF A NOVELIST.
How Thomas Hardys Wife Turned Him
From Architecture to Literature.

How Thomas Hardy's Wife Turned Him
From Architecture to Literature.
In 1868 an essay on "Colored Brick and
Terra Gotta Architecture" took the prize
and medal of the Institute of British Ar
chitects. 1t would doubtless prove dull
reading for the ordinary novel reader, but
that worthy would feel more interest in
the essay upon learning that it was the
first literary work of Thomas Hardy, who
has since won worldwide fame with his
truly great novels, Far From the Mad
ding Crowd" and ''Tess of the D'Urber,
villes.'' Mr.. Hardy was born at a village
in Dorsetshire, England, June 2, 1910,
and was educated in the same county.
Until his seventeenth year he passed his
life among the quiet country scenes SO ia
miliar to readers of his books and was then
apprenticed to an architect. His parents
desired him to become minister, but he
compromised on ecclesiastical architecture.
While engaged in the restoration of a
Devonshire church the yonng architect
met Miss Clifford, daughter of a Devon
shire solicitor, and the acquaintance ripen-
ed into love and marriage. Up to this time
Mr.. Hardy had never written n book but
he was strongly drawn toward the literary
world, and his farseeing wife, who appar-

Indet endent Action


The Congress of the United States
did not ask the consent or opinion of
European nations when it demone-
t,z-d silver. It did it simply at the
dictates OF the bonoholiers and
money lenders who in those days
were mighty power in the national
legislature They followed in the
wake OF some nations and some
nntions followed them, and all fol-
lowed the dicta ties of the money pow
ers who were conspiring for their own
gain.
But if silver is ever to be rehabili-
tated by this country it must be re
monetized Independently as it was
demonetized Independently. There
was no International Congress to de-
eide upon demonetizing it, and this
country should not wait for an in
ternational Congress to decide upon
remonetizjDg it. 1t would be very
well if international agreement could
be reached, but as there is no pros
pect of that being done and no one
can tell whea or if it will ever be
done, what is the country to Go?
Wait, wait and keep waiting through
the indefinite years, as if it was
colonial dependence of some of the
gold countries of Europe, waiting 10
be told what to do, and not daring
to move until told? This country is
perfectly competent to settle that
question for itself and the sooner it
does it, and restores silver to its
former monetary dignity the sooner
other powers will follow our example
They can be forced much easier than
they can be persuaded, and the
sooner this country acts the sooner
they will act, or be forced to act by
their own necessities. They will never
do it until l. bccomf a matter of
necessity.
1t doesn't necessarily follow that
this would involve unlimited coinage.
Something similar to that provided
for in the fland-Alison act would
give the world to understand that
this country intended to stand by
silver and the double standard in
stead of the single gold standard.
Staggering Bicycle Statistics
Buffalo Courier.
Where will this bicycle business end =?
Probably it will never end, for n
Buffalo gentleman intimately asso
| ciated with the manufacture of bicy-
cles says that the output of these
machines in the United States next
year will probably aggregate one
million. He estimates the output in
this country for the year closed July
/ at 100000. To the vast output
for the coming year he thinks Buffalo
| manufacturers will contribute so,
600 The bicycle manufacturers are
multiplying at a rapid rate, the large
| sewing machine concerns undertaking
their production. When steel forg-
ings were used q costly plant was
necessary, but now that the joints
| are stamped from sheet steel and are
| stronger when thus made, any one
with few hundred dollars and a
small building in his backyard can
set up bicycle factory. There are a
number of such crude concerns in
Buffalo turning out as many as
500 bicycles year. Several things
| have joined to make the bicycle SO
extremely popular, notably the
pneumatic tire, which makes wheel
ing pleasure wherever there is a
reasonably smooth road, the light
ness of the modern vehicle and the
cheapening of the price. Evidently
the bicycle has not only come to
stay, but to enable everybody to go.
