OBITUARY..

ON June Alexander Daniels was suddeny
Stricken with apopexy when at the dinner
tnble ana in few minutes expired. The
death, occurring so near TO the issue of the
Paper of that week, was not noticed at length
ana through oversight was not in the next
number. Mr.. Daniels was born in Canada in
lS2l and was, therefore, some IS years old at
the time of Il cath. He came to MiddleDury
i'm early life, married here Harriet Gee,
dau ghter Of Francis Gee, then already a res
ident, and remained such him self until the
last summons came. He was well known and
well sustained himself in the relation ; of
husband, father, neighbor and citizen. of
the eleven children born of his marriage, the
following eight survive: Mrs Albert Bran
shaw, Rutland, Mrs Thomas PatnOde, Bran
don; Miss Louise Daniels, North Hampton,
Mass Mrs. Edward II. Bruya, Middlebury
William Daniels, RoXbury, Mass; Edward of
"the Addison" Middlebur, Joseph of Gin
ton, Mass, and Henry of Saratoga, y. Y.
Recently Mr. Daniels, who was for some
years widower, made his home VI 18th his

Under above title the Religious Tele-
scope of Dayton, o., says:
"The Old Book" stand The scholars
of Germany and France, having fol-
lowed for years the will-o'-the. wisp of
destructive higher criticism, are returning
to the restful anchorage of belief in the
Bible. Bishop Hurst, in an article in
the Western Christian Advocate on the
trend of criticism in Europe at present,
especially in Germany and France, says
that the tendency at present is to aban.
don the higher criticism and return to
the long prevalent belief of the church.
After indicating works Of such ten
dency, he reaches the general conclusion
THAT there has been marked increase
in the number of able and scholarly
critics in favor of the conservative
position" in regard to the authorship and
Interpretation of the Scriptures. He
concludes with these words: I'VE have
no doubt that within the next five years
all the main positions assumed by the
higher criticism will have been taken
from 1t. There is not an extreme view
hitherto held by the destructive critics
of either the Old or New Testament
which has not been greatly weakened or
entirely abandoned"

Bad management keeps more people In
poor circumstances than any other one
cause. To be successful one must look
ahead and plan ahead so that when a
favorable opportunity presents itself he
is ready to take advantage Of it. A little
forethought will also save much expense
and valuable time. A prudent and care
full man will keep a bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy in the house, the shiftless
fellow will wait until necessity compels
1t and then ruin his best horse going for
pay, besides one pays out % cents, the
other is out hundred dollars and then
wonders why his neighbor is getting
richer while he is getting poorer. For

FIGHTING THE TRUSTS.


itiative in the fight against the newly
formed trusts. Here is the supreme
court of Indiana rendering unanimous
decision that trusts and all combinations
to fix prices are illegal and that the
charters of corporations entering into
such combinations may, as penalty, be
revoked.
A recent United States supreme court
decision throws back upon the states
the responsibility for handling the trust
evil. This has led to much discussion as
to the best steps to take in the matter
and what new laws are needed. In view
of this discussion it is interesting and
important to note that the Indiana
court above alluded TO based its decision
not on laws made for the contingency,
but on the old common law principle
that any combination in restraint of
trade is illegal. The court holds that
trust restricts competition; that it is an
old and familiar maxim that ''cOmpeti-
ton is the life of trade and that there
fore whatever acts to restrict or destroy
competition is clearly detrimental TO the
public and comes under the common
law.
Under Esprit of the Press" we this
week give an example of another form of
evil attached to trusts. The travelling
men are the brightest, most intelligent
and most energetic class of business
men. Their training is largely in the
line of their business, and while they
cannot be kept down by this misfortune
that has overtaken them, they Will have
to begin life anew In some other line of
endeavor.
! In contradiction of the assertion that
the loss of competition Is a detriment,
the trust advocates point out that the
formation of combination of large
manufacturing concerns acts to cheaper
the cost of production and is therefore
to the advantage of the public. 1t
might be if the trust reduced the price
it charged the public for its product in
proportion to its saving by combination.
Up to date there has been no wide de.
mand for price on trust products that
could not have been reached by honest
competition.
a glance at the one item Of saving in
the salaries of travelling men gives an
inkling of the tremendous increase in
profits by combination Are there any
! 81; g..
that the tobacco trust has given the
smokers the benefit of the saving of
1900, 600 annually on 5000 discharged
travelling statesmen, assuming that their
salaries averaged only $1,000 a year
Can trust brands of cigars and tobacco
be purchased at retail any cheaper today
than before the combine: And travel
ing statesmen are only small item of
saving. Many big factories were shut
down when taken into the trust and
other thousands of employees discharged
and their wages added to the profits of
the trust.
The prosperity of a community is es'
timated by the employing power of its
industries. The shutting down of mills
that enter trusts and the consequent
throwing out of employment of skilled
workmen, is one of the greatest evils
that can overtake community. As
the wage Garner forms the greater part
of the population, it is difficult to I'M
derstand how, under any circumstances
an injury to him can rebound to the
benefit of the whole. And it doesn't.

system will have little practical value
until method is devised whereby the
transmitter can communicate with one
particular receiver, to the exclusion OF
all others. Another and greater defect
is that the present limit of space for
wireless telegraphy, as admitted by
Marconi himself, is fixed at so miles.
