Controla the. Driver.

In the new automatic cabs in Paris
there is an arrangement in the interior
Of the vehicle which enables the pas
sengers to check the speed or ever
bring the vehicle to standstill, indie
pendently OF the action Of the motor
1t seems that this is due to the
reckless speed with which these vehi-
cles are being driven. There is another
novelty in the form of a register which
is placed at each cab stand, in which
the patrons may enter any remarks or
suggestions. the object Of the company
being to obtain their opinions.

Then and Now.

Our forefathers at Boston, rather
than submit to a tax of three pence 8
pound on tea, disguised themselves
and destroyed a whole cargo. This act
is now alluded to as the Boston tea
party and is told in every school his
tory as a proof OF the manly spirit of
independence which actuated the patri-
OTIS of a century ago.. A mob which
would now destroy trust property
rather than submit to paying a tax to
trusts 200 times as great, and equally
as unjust as King Georges tax on tea,
would be treated as outlaws and shot
down like rebels.-Coming Nation,

POINTS FROM THE PRESS.

No, direct legislation is not a pana-
cea for all national ills. In fact it
is o a pal1ea at all. 1t is merely
a spoon with which the panacea can
be administered. Specific legislation
is the panacea for political ills, and
direct legislation is the method by
which this special legislation can be
secured. A sick man may need O. num-
Der of different medicines, but they
can all be administered with one
spoon. If the nurse went to get a
spoon with which to administer the
medicine, you would not say that she
considered a spoon a panacea for all
the sick mans ills.-Equity.
In Germany, almost the whole rail-
road mileage is public property. The

Why is it that when our public of.
ficials want to do some tinkering with
the finances of the nation they always
consult the bankers and commercial
clubs? We have men in the workshops,
in the mills, in the factories, in the
mines, in the stores and on the farms

capable Of giving honest advice than
the bosses are. The truth is our Off

Many thousand travelling statesmen

firms they represented being absorbed

were mistaken In 1896 and are disposed

travelling statesmen who still retain
their jobs are In the employ of the
trusts and will probably continue the
old howl about protection and honest
money. We desire " to warn them.

ORGANIZING AGAINST TRUSTS.

Governor Sayers of Texas has insti-
trusts, and proposes to hold a conven-
ton of governors and representative
Americans OF September Goth next to
protest against the further extension
of their territory and to concert meas
ures for the loosening Of the letters
which they have thrown around the
commercial and laboring elements Of
the country. He has received encour-
agement from many governors in the
United States, INT others to whom he
has addressed a plea for cooperation
have intimated their desire to partici-
pate in this .bloodless and righteous
war. gsFr
One of the clearest expositions of the
evils Of monopoly, and of the whole
sale manner in which it will have to
be combated, is that given by Attor-
ney General David NJ. Campbell of
Colorado. In announcing his inten-
ton to be present at the convention,
Mr.. Campbell writes:
IT am heartily in favor of the es-
Enlistment OF 4 national antitrust
organization. ma ling it a close organi-
cation and extending Its branches to
every city, into every county, into

From a standpoint Of terse brevity
nothing more could be demanded. Mr..
Campbell has outlined the disease and
Its remedy graphically, and it is to be
hoped that others who will assist in
the sessions of the projected
ton, entertain equally lucid ideas of
the magnitude of the task before
them. The matter is one which calls
for immediate and radical treatment.
1t will not do to falter and hesitate,
for every day the evil is growing, and
its promoters becoming more strongly
intrenched in the influence which they
exert over the courts, the legislatures
and congress-. The enemy is not at a
loss what course to pursue. They have
mapped out the campaign and are pre-
pared to prosecute it to a bitter con-
clusion. 1t remains for those who in
tend to antagoniZe the movement, TO
make themselves equally sure of the
measures with which to Illustrate it.

dawning on me half dozen years ago,
determined never TO taste il under any
circumstances. Since then, entirely
against my will and without the slight.
est desire to do so, have gone on three
terrific sprees, and suffered such tor

and smiling at my fantastic vision;
