Many methods have been suggested
for the determination of trusts. The
most feasible, it seems to me, is to re-
quire every corporation to obtain a
license from the federal government
before it is permitted to do business
outside the state in which it is or
This license can be granted under
conditions which will squeeze the wa

monopolization of any industry.
This nation must choose between
being republic or an empire.
AN imperial policy can not be de-
Tended on any ground. From a finan-
cial standpoint it will be an expense to
a large majority of the people and a
profit only to the capitalists who would
organize syndicateS to develop the

From a religious point of view, it

Alabama Republicans Object to the

Washington. Aug. 9O.-The appoint

the president, to be clerk of the United
States circuit court at birmingham,
Ala, is denounced by Republicans of
the state as the worst kind of carpet
bagging. Allison is not even a. resident

Firgt Homo Of Human race

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
The distinguished explorer, Major Sc
ton Karr, has left Alden for Somaliland
in his search for the precise position of
the garden of Eden. Henry NJ. Stan
ley's views of the matter, as set forth
in his wonderful account of his eXplor-
ations, has long since led many arch
biologists to transfer their allegiance
from the long-accepted site in Asia to
the valley of the Shari. w. Marsham
Adams the distinguished authority on
photography, disagrees with Major
Karr in placing the site of the garden
in the valley itself, but agrees as to the
vicinity, maintaining that the imme-
diately adjoining plateau of central
Africa was the cradle of the human
race.
1t has been proved beyond all doubt
that the territory of Eden was not a
district through which four rivers had
their full course, but was essentially a
watershed, containing a single river
and four heads" This description ex-
actly corresponds with the great basin
of central Africa, which contains the
single river, the Shari, and the heads
of four great rivers-the Zambesi, the
Niger, the Nile and the Congo. And in
the eastern part of this plateau, Gov
ering 5000 square miles OF the most
gIoriously beautiful land in the world, -
is a paradise full of all kinds of animal
life. Stanley describes it as being like
~, from certain rocky eTninences whlch
lie to the eastward of the basin of the
Shari The location almost exactly
comedies with the description evolved
from the later readings.
In the ceaseless war between the ad-
herents of scripture and the adherents
of science any discovery which may
throw a new light on the truth or
falsity of the Pentateuch is eagerly
perused According to the scriptural
account out first parents went forth
from Eden toward the east This would
just correspond with the most natural
course, leaving the valley of the Shari,
which would be to follow the course of
the Bahr- el-Gh aza1, which trends
slightly to the eastward before turning
toward the north From here, as the
human family continued to multiply,
the migrations would gradually reach
up to the parts about Somaliland. This
is now generally acknowledged by the
Egyptologists to coincide with the land
of Poem, the sacred land to which the
people of the Ptolemys ever looked
back as the land of their origin.
Still further down the Nile we come
to the Island of MerOes, where Moses,
according to Josephus, when COM
manding general, in behalf of his mas
ter of Egypt, gained an overwhelming
victory over the inhabitants of the Sou
dan and where the famous French ex-
