BrYan's Trust Remedy

Mr. Bryan in his Chicago conference
address proposes remedies for the trust
evil that do not seem any more profound
than his financial theories. He proposes
that trusts if they wish to do business
outside of the states in which they are
chartered, shall be compelled to take out
a government license and agree to sub
nit to certain general restrictions. That
might be a remedy if it applied to the
case but it is unnecessary for a trust to
do business outside of the state in which
it is organized. Texas has very strin-
gent antitrust law now, that denies to
trusts the right of action to recover pay
for goods sold in that state. The trust
sells no goods in that state now except
to the jobber. The draft goes with the
bill of lading. The trust take no chances
and Texas is using just as many trust
made goods as ever Nothing can pre-
vent trust from sending its travellers
about the country. The only thing that
Mr.. Bryan's method would accomplish
would be to prevent the trusts from es-
tablishing their own depots for the cheap
distribution of their goods, in states
other than that in which they are char
tered. The effect then, would be, that
the trust would be deprived of the oppor-
tunity to make this saving with the re-
suit that the consumer would, as is al
ways the case, be the person on whom
the weight of this burden would ulti-
mately fall.-LaCrosse Chronicle.

The weak spot in the industrial world
is the high price of iron, due to demand
outrunning supply. Prices are in some
instances now double what they were
during the depths of the late depression,
and yet producers are unable to fill their
orders We have been surprised that, in
view of these unprecedented conditions,
manufacturers of implements wagons,
etc. have got through the past season
without heavily advancing their whole
sale and retail prices. 1t is fact that
some agricultural machinery was retailed
last spring from sum that would hard
ly now buy the iron or finished steel it
contains. Between the trusts that con-
troll wire, nails, iron pipe and tubing on
one hand, and the advance in raw mate
rial on the other, implement manufac-
turerS are solely tried.

A STORY is going the rounds that
Aguinaldo will bring his rebellion to an
end upon receipt of half million dollars
in good American money. That would
be cheap way out Of it, but if cheap
ness were the only thing, this country
might have ignobly and economically
sneaked out of the Philippines year
ago. What Aguinaldo has to sell, no
honorable nation would buy. If the
United States cannot take, and take care
of, it's own without bribing bandits, it is
indeed on a wrong road.

HIS WIFE'S ICY STARE.

WHY 1t Was Taken on and How 1t
Was Banished.
He is prominent lawyer in this
city. His daughter is years of age
and walked to the gate with him one
day last week. The little girl kissed
her hand to him until he turned the
corner. He returned the salutatlon
each time. That night when he came
home his wife had an icy stare for
him. He wanted to know the trouble,
but she only answered, Nothing" Any
ouestion from him received a short,
sharp "yes" or mo"
After supper she called him into an
other room and said: "Mr. -, Mrs.
-. our next door neighbor. was over
to see me this afternoon. She inform
ed me of your conduct when you walk
ed down the street, throwing kiss after
kiss to her. She said her husband was
not at home or he would shoot you.
Will you please invent some plausible
excuse that | can give to my neigh
Dor to explain away your reprehensl-
BILE conduct"
He was up against the knottlest
proposition of his life. He thought
long and hard, and finally the light
dawned upon him. He rushed fran
tically out of the room and returned
with his beloved child in his arms.
Daughter" he said, please tell your
mother what you and papa were do
ing after dinner today"
eve was throwing kisses at each
other until pap turned the corner"
SO quickly was the prosecution dis
missed and in such convincing man
ner that the lawyer swooned away
when he thought Of his narrow escape.
Suppose the child had forgotten the oc-
currence! There would have been
hot time in town that night. But

The California board Of health is dis
cussing the wisdom of barring out from
that state the consumptives who annu-
ally congregate there in hope of partial
or complete recovery-at any rate in the
hope of prolonging life. In view Of the
alleged contagiousness of the disease, a
state that is 50 popular a resort for its
victims may we'll feel some concern at
their constantly multiplied number.
Yet the right to seek health or life itself
wherever it may be found ought not to
be denied any man.

To the Editor of The Post.
Houston. Texas, July 15.-Are there two
boards of trustees for the emancipation
grounds? I, for one. would like to know
why the board of trustees wants to nut
this ground in litigation. I refer to the
old hoard, as they have charge of the
grounds until 1t Is decided by court There
are gentlemen on both boards for whom
l have much respect. Some one Is to
blame. Is 1t the 1000 people that elected
the trustees at p. m. June co. or is it the
100 people that elected the trustees at IL
o'clock? l am told that resolution was
passed on the 18th of June by at least 1000
people requesting the board of trustees 10
assemble at A p. m, Tuesday, June 20, for
the election OF trustees. as they, the
trustees. would not name the hour. Would
1t not be best for the old board of trustees
to call mass meeting for the people and
say who the legal board is? 1t Is said that
this present board will never be able to get
street cars out to the grounds.
