Sherman, was more specific and stringent
than the one finally passed. and since the
Supreme Court has pointed cut the defects
of the present law he is in favor of more
stringent legislation. In an interview pub
lished in the Journal a few days ago he
said:
The present national trust law is not
strong enough. / framed it myself. and
the Senate, committee on judiciary made
changes in it which materially weakened
its effect favor making unlawful in the
most direct manner all combinations in re-
straint of trade. They put all industries in
the control of a few men. The people have
a right to open competition in all industries
and trades.
Restraint of trusts can be made effective
Mlen we can get the proper kind OF law.
The Supreme Court has upheld the present
trust law, but has pointed out It's defects.
| think that those defects can and will be
remedied.
That is sensible talk OF course trusts
can be broken up or confined TO harmless
limits by proper legislation. and if the pres
ent law is not stringent enough it should
be made more so. The people know that
Congress has power to do this, and they
want it done They know that under a de-
cision of the Supreme Court it is practically
impossible to break up the big trusts I'M
der the present law, and they know that
Congress k lows it. Therefore, they ex-
pect such an amendment of the present law
as will make it effective. Secretary Sher-
man is entirely right when he says, IRE
straint of trusts can be made effective
when we can get the proper kind of law
and the people expect Congress to pass the
proper kind of law.

WILL ENTER COLLEGE.
Helen Keller, Deaf, Dumb and Blind
Passes an Examination.

BOSTON, Mass, June 50.-In the Cam
bridge school, locked away from all dis
turbances, Helen Keller the famous deaf
dumb and blind girl, took her preliminary
examination for entrance 10 Radcliffe Col.
lege, and a difficult task it was--not for
the brilliant girl, but because Mr.. Gilman,
her examiner, had to use the manual Ian
guage in determining what the girl knew.
1t was advanced German Miss Keller was
examined in, and she did remarkably well.
Most girls take advanced German in their
finals, but Helen Keller was taking that
language in her preliminary examinations.
In two years she will go TO Radcliffe, if she
likes, but Mr.. Gilman prefers to- have Miss
Keller enter Radcliffe in three years, lest
the strain OF two years constant work
should affect her health
In the French examinations" said Mr..
Gilman, Il talk to Miss Keller, and she, by
feeling the movement of my lips, is able to
determine what question ] ask, her sense
of touch being remarkably acute, but in the
German examinations / form the letters on
the hand by the sign of language" At first
the task of fitting the deaf, dumb and
blind girl for college seemed insurmount-
able, but her remarkable brain and native
intelligence have set at rest any doubt on
that point, and to college will go the girl
of seventeen in whom all the country has
been interested for many q day. In math-
emdticS and general knowledge Miss kel-
Ter will not have the slightest difficulty

is little short of being a phenomenon, and

sion of her senses.

THE NEW CRUSADE.

Veterans in railroad passenger traffic in
Chicago, st. Louis and other points of de-
parture for the West say they never before
saw anything like the rush OF Christian
Endeavor travel to San Francisco. The
streets of those cities were alive with peo-
pie, and ticket offices, depots and rail
roads were fairly swamped with business.
AT the present moment scores of special
trains comprising hundreds of cars are
moving westward on the transcontinental
lines converging at San Francisco, the OBJ
Jective point of travel. As a mere object
lesson in transportation and illustrating
the facilities of modern travel the move
ment is impressive, but far more inter-
esting aspect is its moral significance The
crusades of the middle ages, when men.
women and children assembled by thou
sands and marched in great columns on
an expedition as hopeless as it was fanc;ful
freely risking their lives under the iuspi-
ration of a great emotion, were not nearly
as impressive as this compact well-organ-
lied, enthusiastic body of young religious
workers, assembling al the edge of the con-
tinent to compare notes regarding the re-
suits of last years work and derive II, w
inspiration and courage from that of the
future. No movement of the nineteenth
century is more typical of its spirit in
respect to effective organization, rapid
growth and objects aimed at than this
Christian Endeavor Society. 1t had its be-
ginning IN a church in Portland Me-, in
1871, when single society was organized
for local church work. BY September 1893.
there were 1854 societies with a. member
ship of 1,650000. At the international CON
Vention in Boston last year there were
about seventy thousand delegates repre-
senting 1929 societies. with a membership
OF 25OO,OOO OF the societies represented
34l2 were in the United States, 31O5 in
canada, 2,645 in the British islands, 500 in

China, sixty-foIr in France. III in India
htty-nine in Japan, ninety-three in NADIA

in Turkey and sixty-three in the West In
dia islands. For a movement that had IFS
beginning only sixteen years ago this is
wonderful That it has done and is doing
good work not only on religious lines. but
for good citizenship and good government
is beyond doubt Making due allowance
for an occasional black sheep or case of
false pretense, no one can doubt that the
organization represents one of the most
powerful vital forces of the times and a
tremendous amount of wholesome energy
Beng thoroughly nonsectarian in charac-
ter and altruistic in its aims, it is a move
ment to which all may unite in wishing
continued growth and success.

The fact that man who deliberately
murdered his wife was pardoned after about
twenty years in the penitentiary goes to
strengthen the opinion that the most de-
liberate murderer may look forward to the
time when he win be pardoned. The par
doning of such man. moreover, gives the
impression that the taking of human life
is not so great an offense as it might be.
Thus sentences for murder which permit
pardons and the hardening of murderers
are two of the potential causes of the in

The Bureau of American Republics at
Washington is preparing a plan for dis
seminating knowledge among the Central
and South American republics in regard to
the industries of the United States. One
feature of the plan will be a commissioner
in each state, who will conduct corre-
spondence with commissioners in the
various South American states, all tending
to the development of the resources of both
countries. Such a commissioner in this
State could report many Indiana products
which South American peoples would pur-
chase-such, for instance, as flour, cerealine
woodenware, bicycles, furniture carts.
wagons and carriages, glassware of all
kinds, and many others. Intelligent and
persistent effort might result in opening up
a trade for many of these products in Cen
trail and South America.
