Trusts Must be Leg Lied.

Russell Sage, when interviewed re,
garding the decision of the supreme
court against the Transmissouri
Traffic association said that a four to
five decision was not alarming after
all.
ut is bound to come out all right in
the end" continued Mr.. Sage.
There is no question on that point
Rains and capital have ruled the
world since the advent of man, and
natural laws have not been changed
because of this one advere decision.
No human law can prevent the conbina
ton of interests in social or business
affairs. So called protective laws are
not needed by the public, for no asso
citation or trust has yet been able to
operate at profit for any length OF
time when it attempted to Cypress the
people.
II think an amendment to the pres.
emit law will be asked of congress,
whereby combinations can be legally
effected. AS to the railroad propertie,
in which am personally interested, ]
do not yet know what will be done, OF
whether they will withdraw from the
association to which they belong
The associations will meet in due
course of time and will talk over the
situation carefully before taking ac
tion. The lawyers will also consider
the case in all its bearings and evolve
some plan Of future procedure. In the
meantime, let the investigating publ,
keep cool.

A Presbyterian congregation at
Steamboat Rock, Ia, dlsliked their pas
tor, Rev. H. B. Fonkin, and while he
was away they sent for a congregation
al minister at Cedar Rapids to come
down and preach to them last Sunday
evening. After the service one of the
deacons arose and made motion that
every member join the Congregational
church. And it was carried unanl-
mously. Rev. Mr.. Fonkin is recovering
very slowly from the shock.

Suppose workman, toiling hard
from dawn till dark for the mainten-
ance of his family, discovers method
by which he can do four or FIVE times
as much work as before What should
be the effectP Why, if there is ce-
mand for the increased product, the
man should be so much better off, re-
ceiving dollars where before he got
only quarters. He will improve the
condition Of his family, and begin to
lay by for declining years. But, if
there is no market for more than he
produced in his old way, he will take
his benefit in shortened hours of work
three or four hours day, instead of
ten or twelve. There can be no ques-
tion that the improvement in methods,
by which his labor is made more effici-
emit, must yield a corresponding bene-
ft in one or the other of the ways men
toned. The improvement is an in
crease of his capital, which is his labor
and more capital must bring greater
returns in one way or the other. This
is 3 natural and inevitable result, no
more to be avoided than is the action
of gravity on falling body. If moth
ing interviewed between the workman
and his product, how could the benefit
escape him? If he does not get the
benefit, there has been interference.
Now, bearing this suppositious case
in mind, look at the actual fact in hun
dreds of lines of industry. By machin-
cry and division of labor the efficiency
of the workman has been enormously
increased-his prodnct is four, five or
ten times as great as before. But he
receives NO benefit; his pay is no more
and his hours of labor no less. There
must, then, be interference somewhere
with natural law and natural right; and
this has worked to make the improve
ment damage rather than blessing.
The mans chances for work are worse |
than before, since with increased pro-
ductive capacity and the old number
of hours, many of his fellows must be
idle-there is no work for them.
What has been the interference? Sim
ply this; Money or credit capital has
taken the entire benefit that comes
from the increase of labor capital.
The employer pockets the whole. And
when the workmen inquiries how it is
that improvement has made him
worse off he is told that it is because
he is able to produce SO much more
than before. 1t is like telling q gold
digger that he may be prosperous if he
digs out only five dollars day, but if
he digs forty or City dollars he is
likely to starve.
1t is with such shallow absurdities
that the workman is quieted while all
the benefit of invention and organiza-
ton is absorbed by the employer. In
this way, through bold robbery of
labor, enormous fortunes are amassed
while the multitude sink deeper in the
mire of poverty. A double hazard
comes to the conutry-the corrupting
effct of great wealth in few hands, and
the appalling dangers that follow de-
graduation of the ple.-Cincinnati

The cabinet of President McKin-
ley would give consolation to none but
millionaires under any circumstances,
but with Joseph b. McKenna Of Cali
fornia in it, the plutocrats have speci-
al reason to be gratifed. McKenna,as
we have remarked before, is a federal
judge with a peculiarly black record.
He was on the bench through the in
fuence of the Pacific Railroad. Before
going on the bench he had acted as
henchman for the late Leland Stanford
who accumulated millions upon mil
lions of dollars through the Pacific
swindle. The Stanford estate made
McKenna judge and one of his first
acts was to decide the famous suit of
the government against that state in
favor of the Stanfords Ordinary de-
cency would have prompted this Nc
Kenna to keep out of the case entirely.
But this decision is by no means
the only one that demonstrated his
gratitude to the corporate plutocracy
which made him. During the famous
strike on the railway system of which
he had been the paid attorney he
issued blanket injunction" I'm 1904
ordering the strikers not to continue
their attitude of INSTRUMENTATION. - His
injunction was nominally against inter
ference with mail trains, although the
strikers hal not interfered with such
trains. Century.

In the United States senate bill has
lately been introduced to establish
national department of public health.
The bill is the result of efforts by the
Pan-American Medical Congress,
gathering Of physicians from the coun-
tries Of North, South and Central
America. Such department, il &C.
tablished, would study in a systematic
and scientific way, not only diseases
and their prevention or cure, but many
kindred matters which have quite as
important bearing upon the welfare
of the people-matters such as the con-
ditlon Of the laboring classes, their
workshops and dwellings, the cost and
nutritive value of various kinds of food,
the purity of water supplies, etc.

Daniel Webster once said: There is
something on earth greater than arbi-

its power: but there is something
among men more capable of shaking
despotic power than the lightning, the
whirl-wind or the earthquake-it is
the aroused and STANDARDIZATION Of
a great and intelligent people" This
sentiment is as true as it is stirring.
There have been many who openly
de6ed public opinion, but we never
knew any to ultimately succeed in such
defiance when public opinion was on
the side of good morals and honest gov
eminent.

My republican brother how is your
confidence? Is it still strong? We
hope it is, as it will help you greatly to
bear the tribulations of the coming
dark and dreary four years; but it
won't help you buy seed potatoes next
spring, nor pay your taxes, nor buy
your wife that needed pair of shoes
and calico dress. But be brave, be
cheerful and bear it all with christian
fo1titude. Trust in God and vote the
republican ticket and remember that
there is happy home for you in the
great beyond. There you shall play
on a golden harp, dance upon golden
streets and wear golden wings. There
will be no populist editors there to
poke fun at you; no silver democrats
to taunt you and present you with re-
ceipe for making con fidence pudding.
No anarchists; no socialists; no repudi-
ators; no free silver cranks, no cheap
dollars. All will be serenity and hap
piness So be cheerful! Have conf
dence. -Adyanee Guard.

o. wondrous star; o, Star divine!
Thy trembling beauty once did shine
with consecrated fire, above
The city where the King OF Love
Within a manager lay.
Attracted by thy magic flame
The prophet and the shepherd came
with prophecies and gifts, to bring
Their blessings to the infant King,
:, The child OF perfect Day.
Sweet Star of Bethlehem adorn
With radiance each Christmas morn.
And ere thy, sacred light depart,
Reveal within each faithful heart
The Christ-child born again. {
Though mortal shadows intervene,
And darkest night shall fall between
This festal day, and Gods decree
Fulfilled by Christ upon the tree,
Thy light shall never wane.
