RESULTS OF THE TRUST CONFER
ENCE

| Ohm BATES CLARK, professor Of political
y economy at Coumbia University, who was one
OF the delegates to the Chicago Trust Confer
ence has recently made public his opinion concerning
the results accomplished by the discussion Like the
rest OF the world he regards the work OF the confer
ence as valuable only far it educational and
notes that it deserves to be considered satisfactory
inasmuch as it gave the public an opportunity to
learn the best arguments the two sides Of
the great issue
According to the professor, some OF the most ear
no part in the debates. He quotes one OF them as
saying Il have been soaking in public opinion"
That was probably the condition OF the professor
himself for he has drawn from the discussion only
the most conservative OF views, and comments upon
the problem with little caution
Judging from what brought forth at the con-
ference Professor Clark says that as rule the oppo-
nents OF trusts the small capitalists and the agr
cuturists He notes that the small body OF social
lists in the country look upon trusts with favor in the
belief that their tendency will be to educate the gen
era mass OF men in the economic advantage OF large
combinations Speaking for himself he says: we
can crush trusts if we really decide TO do it. but We
can do something that is better than that for we can
study the natural forces that are already working
against monopoly and by removing the obstacles
that in their way preserve, in spite of vast con-
sodations of capital, the principle OF competition
and freedom"
Such conclusion seems to be amply justified bv
all the facts thus far made known OF course trusts

OUR HOME CIRCLE STUDIES.

= S the time draws near for beginning the publica-
I \ ton OF the series OF home studies which The
Call has arranged for the fall and winter
popular interest in them increases That much is
made evident by the large number of inquiries CON
corning them and by the warm approval given to the
plan by the foremost educators of the State
These studies as has been pointed out, will appeal
to every family and to every member OF the family
The courses varied afford qualification to
the different mental incnations Of the readers and
each course is to be contributed by men or women
who are everywhere recognized as established au-
thorities the subjects with which they will deal
1t is certainly to be accounted gratifying fact that
the readers OF The Call are without additional cost
to have the pleasure and the benefit OF studying
Shakespeare under the direction of sech teachers as
Professor Dowden OF Dublin University, William ]
Rofe and others; American history in the form OF
life studies OF its greatest men, by historians of the
rank OF John Bach McMaster and Albert Bushnell
Hart; the great artists OF the world and their mas
terpieces by critics OF eminence like John c. Van
Dyke and Russell Sturgis; home science under the
instruction OF women like Mrs. Helen CampbeU Mrs
Margaret T. Sangster and their colleagues and that
the boys and girls OF the family are to have the ad
vantage OF weekly counsel and education in studies
important to them in the practical affairs OF life
Hardly any feature OF the paper will be more i'm
portant than these studies and those who look for
ward them with most expectancy will be fully re-
warded.

SELF GOVERNMENT.

HE Santa Ana Herald comments with acrimony
on the position OF that eminent Republican
leader and Senator, Hon. Frank Short Of
Fresno. 1t is to be regretted that in order to
agonze Nh Short his critic finds il necessary to say
that This talk about the consent OF the governed
is demagogic halucinatiOn political makesht
to support a desperate and unwarranted position
Literally there is no such thing was and never
can be among any considerable number OF people
This "demagogic halucnation or political make
shit stated in our Declaration OF independence in
these terms: We hold these truths to be self
eyident-tha all men are created equal that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain inaenable
rights; that among these are lie, liberty and the
pursuit OF happiness That to secure these rights
governments are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent OF the governed"
The Herald falls back upon our past acquisition Of
territory TO support position In the case OF the
acquisition from Mexico by the treaty OF Guadalupe
Hidalgo the personal and property rights land ten
ures and all OF the few Mexicans resident in the ac
qured territory guarded in the treaty and they
were admitted to citizenship in the United States,
given the franchise and the protection which the
ballot affords in a government by consent. We had
not encouraged them to revolt against Mexico and
TO set up revolutionary government and cherish an
aspiration for independence We at once bestowed
upon them our brthright in government by consent
and there neither protest nor resistance on their
part Mr.. Blaine, who will be accepted by the Her
aid as good Republican authority said 'At this day,
when the right OF people to govern themselves, the
fundamental basis OF republican institutions is so
widely recognized, nothing is difficult or more
dangerous than the forced transfer of territory car
rying with it indignant and hostile population
The Government OF the United States believes that
such territorial changes should be avoided as far as
possible and that they should be the result OF
mere force"
The Mexicans on this territory were neither indig-
nant hostile The Herald will observe that Mr..
Blaine guilty OF using the same "demagogic hal
lucinaton and political makesht' as Mr. Short.
AS it has answered Mr.. Short so successfully, will it
now proceed to refute Baine's position?
The whole history of our Government confirms the
view that Blaine took, that such territorial changes
should never be the result OF mere force" The rea-
is obvious. Republican institutions can in the
nature OF things be propagated only by example and
consent Monarchical and despotic institutions can
not be propagated by example and consent and 50
have always depended upon force Therefore it is
difficult to differentiae republic from despotism
when it abandons example and consent and resorts
to force

England's Mimic War.

The upshot Of this years British naval
manpuvres Is that while the weather
spoiled good part OF the main programme,
an auxiliary appliance, wireless telegraphy,
came to the front and carried of a large
share OF the honors.
In the plan, as we recently noted, con-
voy OF British grain ships was crossing the
Atlantic, and was to wait at preconcerted
rendezvous for British squadron OBJ to go
out from Milford Haven and protect il :
but meanwhile n hostile squadron (A) went
out earlier from Belfast, supposed to be
hostile territory, in order to discover its
whereabouts and capture it,
From the fact that Vice Admiral RAwsoN,
with fleet A, received n start OF nineteen
hours and had the faster fleet at that, it
is evident that the Admiralty desired that
he should have an excellent opportunity of
finding tho convoy; for even then, Vice
Admiral DoMvILLE. with feet B, since he
knew the place OF the rendezvous, which was
$50 miles due west of Bantry BAY, would
have an equally fair chance of interccpting
A on its way back to Belfast burdened by
the slow convoy. b, too, was superior in
battleship strength, SO that if A could have
captured the convoy, there might have
been exciting subsequent man9uvres But

getting the full use Of his scouts. more than
