corporate life, which exists beyond the
human life--the corporation which ena'
bles q large number Of people to put
their money together and act as one man.
What do you fndP You find that,
whereas in the early days you had to
protect the weak man against the strong
man, to-day you have to protect the
weak members Of society from these
great and overshadowlng members OF
society.
ut is harder to-day to protect each
citizen in the enjoyment Of life and prop
erty and in the pursuit of happiness than
it ever was before in all the history Of
the human race, and to day, more than
ever before, do we need that part Of gov.
ernment which is known as the restrain
ing part OF government.
"Now, my friends, we have to meet
these great questions, and believe il is
better to meet them right now than to
wait until the influences which we must
combat become stronger. Every once in
a while we have a trust organized; every
once in a while trust breaks up. The
existence Of q trust is generally denied
until it breaks up, and then everybody
Confesses that there was trust, and it
has gone out of existence. Sometimes
they have an investigation of trust, and
when they do that, we have an exempli-
fication Of something that is not known
in any other department Of life. If you
have a friend whose memory is failing,
you say, Poor mani You pity him; you
feel sorry for him. But whenever you
have an investigation Of trust, you find
that the largest salaries are paid to the
men who have the weakest memories OF
the details OF the trust. You find these
great aggregations Of wealth. What is
the effect Of themH Why, my friends,
the one effect that is talked about the
most is, to my mind, one Of the smallest
effects and one Of the least evils. We
say that the trouble with trust is that
it drives out competition, and then hav-
ing destroyed competition, it raises prices
and collects from the people an unjust
tax which they are compelled to pay be-
cause their necessities compel them to
purchase. Yes, that is one Of the
troubles; but to my mind that is not the
greatest objection to trusts. To my
mind the greatest vice of the trust is,
that any government that let's it live
Confesses that it has created being tnat
is greater than the government which
has created it. The moment you permit
a trust to exist in a State you admit that
the rest Of the people are not as big az
that one thing that lives and thrivee
upon the downfall OF the rest Of the peo-
pie. More than that: When you permit
il to live, you say that your SON and my
son, or snybody's son, may start out in
business; he may have character; he
may have industry; he may have integ.
rity; but yet you don't know the day
when some aggregation Of wealth will
come and tell him that he must either
join in a conspiracy against his fellow
men or else be driven out Of business
have his capital sacrificed, his occupation
destroyed, and become an outcsst, per
haps with a large judgment hanging
over him besides.

Five Men Lynched.

Infatuated men last night lynched Lyle
Levi, Bert Andrews, Clifford Gordon,
William Jenkins and Hiney Schiller.
They were taken from the authorities.
iEhe men had been arrested for burgla-
~, Frequent robbsries had enraged tho
citizens Of the county and the mob was
composed of citizens from Milan, Suman
and other towns.
rEhe mob on horseback entered the
town an hour after midnight and called
ou5tJailer Kenap, who, upon refusing
to give up the keys, was then overpower-
ed
,.rhe mob soon pushed its way into the
cell rooms and in their impatience fired
on the five prisoners and then dragged
them to q tree a square from theJa Jail door
an,lhung them up.
Andrews and Gordon have already
been wounded, having been shot several
times while attempting to rob a store at
Correct last Saturday night. Schiller was
in iail for attempting burglary and Levi
ami jenkins had been indicted by the
grand Jury for robbery. They had failed
to rive bond and were put in Jail last eve
Mig. It was thought that Levi and
Schiller were both dead from the shots
fired by the mob when they were taken
from Jail.
The bsndages on the wounded men
were found later thi 8 morning on the
streets through which the men were
dragged along.
LYLE Levi was an old soldier and bore
on his face wounds received during the
civil war while fighting for the Union.
None of the lynchers are known. They
all came from a distance, presumably
from the neighborhood of Correct,
where the two men were arrested satur-
day.
