THAT TRUST C0NFERENCE.

Chicago, through it's civic federation
ment which will determine the future of
trusts in the industrial and commercial life
of the United States. The date set for the
proposed conference suggests that the
Windy City has had as urgent desire to
get ahead of ST. Louis as to take any
effective action in the direction indicated
The St Louis conference is set for Sept.
20; that of Chicago for Sept 1916
Chicago can have all the honor of the
undertaking if it is as successfully con-
Quoted as the responses to the invitation
indicate it will be.
Notwithstanding the volumes of matter
that have found their way into the public
prints on this subject, it must be said that
very little of a practical character has
thus far been evolved from the discussion.
The only thing made apparent is that
acter, is needed. Trust formation has
continued undated; and the belief I'M
doubleday prevails among the promoters
of these combinations that nothing can
or will be done to stay their progress.
1t is notable feature of the present de-
Velopment Of the trust discussion that the
adherents Of socialism accept the trusts
as preparing the way to the establishment
ditions which they favor. That circum-
stance of itself is one which will Impress
most people as an added reason for the
speedy and effective Interference Of the
agencies of government to put an end to
the movement. The entire movement I'M
oeniably partakes of a socialistfc char
acter. If. as many believe, the trusts are
bound ultimately to control the output
and the cost to consumers of the essential
commodities of life, the inquiry naturally
arises, why should not that be done by
the state which the trusts arrogate to
themselves the power to do?
The socialists are mistaken in one of
their conclusions. The trusts have not
reached the condition as yet and thew
probably never will reach it, when thew
will control all possibility of effective
competition. If they do, 1t will be
through the culpable inaction of the pub-
lie authorities. No doubt, if they are all
lowed to progress as they have for the
past year or over, that condition may be
called into existence in time. But it is a.
somewhat wild assumption that such con-
ditions will continue to prevail undts-
turbed. The American people have the
situation in their own hands as yet. There
are essential principles Of our commercial
law which, if properly enforced, will pre-
vent any such condition being created.
The sentiment of the country is clearly
in favor of the enforcement of the law,
and the prevention of trust creation. BY

ALGER,S TNDoING.

Recent events give rise to the question
whether most, if not all of the trouble
i'll which Gen. Russell A. AIger has been
involved for some time past is not due
entirely to his too trustful disposition.
Having made his little arrangement with
Gov. Pingree and finding that his position
in the imperialist cabinet was becoming
somewhat insecure, what more reason
able conclusion than that, after all, Pin
gree was lone of US" and that he could
be regarded as ''for Mckinley first, last
and all the time" Gen. Alger, moreover,
has been so devoted an adherent of Nc
Kinley, and his prominence as chief pill
lar of the administration next to Mr..
Hanna was so well established, that.
after all, the conclusion seemed fully
warranted.
But Pingree at best is mighty on
sart'in cuss," and hence he has felt
called on to give to the world state
ment as to his relations to the president
of which the following are the chief
sentences:
IF Gen. Alger knows that President Nc
k1nley Is opposed to territorial expansion,
and is not an advocate of the murders
and the destruction being visited upon the
Innocent F'ilipinos, he has a right to say
that l am for Mckinley.
IF Gen. Alger is informed that Nc
Kinley is opposed to trusts and to legis-
lation which fosters, creates and encour-
ages them, and in favor of legislation
to restrict and suppress them. then I am
closer to the opinions of Mckinley than
has generally been believed. If Gen. AL
ger is assured that President Mckinley
political methods OF Mark Hanna and
his friends, and deprecates such lead
ership, then 1 am for Mckinley
The conditions under which Gov. Pin
gree is ''for" Mckinley are such as
would harrow the soul Of the most
hardened imperialist to contemplate 1t
Is the last condition specified, however,
which must be regarded as the most
cruel and untoward of all: IF Gen.
Alger is assured that President Mckinley
is not in touch and sympathy with the
political methods of Mark Hanna and
his friends, and deprecates such leader
ship, then I am for Mckinley" The po-
Incubus OF MARK 1dIlIla! ana
what are the political methods of Mark
Hanna? Does anybody known There
surely cannot be anything wrong with
them, or a good, evangelical sort of man
like our estimable president would sure
ly refuse under all circumstances to
have anything to dc with them No, mol
The trouble is not with Mark Hanna or
the president. They are all right The
matter is with Pingree. He simply IS
not zone of u.s." and the adherent of the
administration who will have any truck
with him is altogether too credulous and
trustful a mortal to have place in the
councils of imperialism. Gen. AIger, you
had better resign at once.

clique of French political disturbers In
what light they are to be viewed by the
American people the Ireland incident
makes plain. They are willing to sacrifice
even the peace and honor OF France If
only they can discredit the political sys-
tenn under which men Of their type can
receive but little recognition.
1t would be more satisfying to tho
friends Of repubncanism In France had
the ministerial majority been larger than
1t was. In the turbulence which charac-
terizes legislative proceedings in France,
such majority is avery slender reed for a
ministry to lean upon. A single com
plication may at any moment precipitate
another ministerial crisis, and France be
once more thrown into the vortex Of po-
litical uncertainty.
The great need Of the French system
is that which Archbishop Ireland pointed
out Ill recent interview. Members of the
ministry, or the presidents cabinet, as 1t
may be called, should be selected from
among men in nowise connected with the
Legislative branch of the government, the
french president should be elected by
other means than those which now pre-
vail, and the continued existence of the
CABINET should be assured without re-
gard to the wishes of the legislature.
Could the French republic be remodeled
more closely on our own, it might bid de-
nance to all the royalists in France in
definitely.
The address Of NJ Waldeck-Rosseau In
reply to questions from members of the
chamber, shows clearly the conservative
and peaceful policy which the government
mas marked out for itself It shows,
moreover, that the real contest In France
Is between the army and the people 1t
may prove to be the fact in any crisis
that arises that the French army NAV
prove faithful to the popular interest;
but in the present situation nothing short
OF a stern fulfllment of the pledge of the
ministry to enforce the subordinatiou of
the military to the civil power of the state
VIII save France from another such ex-
perlence as that which followed the evac-
uat1on of Paris by the German army. But.
Whatever may be the immediate outcome
of the sporadic political outbreaks which
cause so much uneasiness in France, the
future of the republic seems reasonably
assured.

Having with considerable interest read
the several arguments as to the end Of
the nineteenth century, or rather the
beginning Of the twentieth century,
unhesitatingiy side with Mr.. Beaumont,
that the twentieth century begins Jan. 1,
1900. While my argument is slightly diff
ferent than that Of Mr.. Beaumont, it Is
substantially the same. At the beginning
of the Christian era there was no year;
instead the present era began with sec
onds, which were necessary to the form
ing of minutes. hours, days, weeks.
months following before the word year
was necessary. consequently at the time

common instance is the age of a child
We cannot use the word year in telling
the child's age; 1t is either days, weeks
or months old, and not years, which
