Out on the water In the moonlight A
more beautiful or romantic situation for a
young man TO tell the story of his love and
ask the young woman of his choice to share
his life cannot be imagined
The courtship of young couple may be
ever so romantic and their married life be
very unhappy. There are common sense
considerations outside of love that have a
world to do with the making of married
happiness. One of the most important of
these considerations is the good health of
both parties to the sacred tie. The young

before he is restored to health. He con-

his children to early death, or lives of sick

the paralyzed Spanish army during the 10
months when America was prevented by
her International obligations and the faith
OF her protocol from interfering; who was
permitted to gather them by American suf-

by the assassination of his rival, and who
maintains il by the arrest and punishment
OF every one who favors the United States
and the murder of every one whom he can
reach who obeys her. My friends, today

The Trust Problem.

What will be the final result of the
present movement to put every branch of
business or industry into trust it is not
to foresee The most that can be said is
that it creates entirely new conditions in
the business world, and at this stage of the
game it looks as if it must inevitably stife
or prevent individual enterprise in many
directions. To the September number OF
Review of Reviews Hon. George T. Rob
erts, director of the mint, contributes an
interesting article on this general subject
under the title, "Why the trusts cannot
control prices" The view of Mr.. Roberts,
in short, is that prices cannot be so con-
trolled because the accumulation Of CAPT
tai will make it necessary that there should
be outlets for its investment, and the more
rapid the accumulation the more impera-
tive the necessity. at is folly TO attempt
absolutely to stop up a stream that flows
from perpetual spring. Build the dam
as high aud tight as you please, but in the
end the water will find its old level. In
just the same way, Mr.. Roberts believes.
VIII any scneine 10 conlIOl lhe "uolt helu
of production break down under the weight
of its own success. The more rapidly capt.
tai increases in the hands of investors the
greater will be the pressure to find employ
ment for ii at even nominal returns and
the more difficult to maintain a monopoly
in any profitable industry.
Farther than this, it is law OF econo-
mics that all benefits in the business world
shall be reciprocal. An attempt by one
class to absorb all the benefits of progress
will bring the world to a standstill. The
final success of all grea. industries depends
on the purchasing power of the masses.
This is the real stimulus 10 ali business de-
velopment. Withdraw that stimulus ard
new capital will go on accommodating with
out an outlet, seek in vain for employ
ment until at last it will break down the
artificial restraints which are giving big
returns to old capital and denying any 10
new capital. Thus we see that the new
capital coming upon the market tomorrow
will in the long run protect the public
against the combinations that old capital
may make today"
