WHAT ABOUT THE BOYS7
National Watchman.)

What has the future in store for
the young men who are attending the
colleges. universities. normal schools
and high schools of this great nation?
This Is n question that must come
home with terrific force to the IA Tiers
and mothers Of America. The present
generation inherited from their fathers
golden opportunities TO carve out their
own fortunes in the various and diver
sified occupations OF life With a free
field and an unhampered opportunity.
Ii has been the proud boast OF the sue
cessful men OF America in the domain
Of business and politics that they We're
self-made men. The self-made man Was
American, personifyinG in an especial
degree the aspirations that filed the
hearts of all and inIpired all TO put
forth their best efforts with the conf
dent hope OF attaining Il like success
and distinction
Can the fathers and mothers of to-
day look into the bright eyes ami
cheerful faces of their boys and girls
and with genuine sensations of pride
indulge the hope that some day their
child will ascend the ladder of success
and bring JOY to their hearts in de-
clining years? Do they not realize that
the opportunity to advancement in
every avenue of life is being remorse-
lcssly closed and that the young men
of to-day cannot reasonably hope TO
either business or politics. but that the
most they can reasonably hope for is
10 excel others in rendering service TO
some great corporation or monopoly
which will not only control their
means OF a livelihood, but control the
government 20 that what We're once
positions, of trust and honor will be
doled out to men who will corruptly
serve those who have the means to
confer upon them positions that were
once priced as comforting great distinc-
ton and deserved honor.
The changes that have been wrought
during the last thirty years are greater
than the changes OF the three preced-
ing centuries For centuries in the
principal nations of tho earth man has
been free TO make his own contracts.
acquire and dispose of property. move
an exceptionally large meausre free to
work out his own destiny The prin-
cipal monopoly that impedcd the de-
"elopment of progress TO the youth
has been the monopoly of land tina t
existed in many countries and the vi
cious system and obnoxious laws
which enabled the lands to pass from
generation to generation in large bod
ies without being divided UP.
When the American government was
founded jefferson recognized tho chief
evil 30 be avoided and destroyed en-
tail. Tie result was that for more than n
hundred years the youth of America
entered the arena OF active lifo life
with no insuperable obstacles to sue
cess.
Free competition is ono of the foun-
dalton stones upon which modern civ
iization rests Monopoly is inconsist-
cnt with liberty because its powers are
arbitrary and despotic and il shuts off
! all opportunity to advancement on the
ground of merit. The modern trust

WHO SHALL DECIDE WHAT DISEASES
SHALL BE RESTRICTED?

From time to time the progress OF
sanitary knowledge develops the fact
that some diseases not previously taken
TO be spread from person TO person, is
really communicable, and, therefore,
might be prevented IL promptly report
ed TO the local health officer. Thus far,
in every such instance, as has been the
case with scarlet fever, diphtheria, ty.
phoid fever, and consumption, persis-
tent opposition has been met with. such
as refusals by householders and physi-
clans to report cases OF such disease,
and refusals by boards OF supervisors to
allow expenses incurred in the restric-
tion OF such diseases. Expensive lti-
cation results, and still greater expen-
SEES occur because OF the spread of
diseases which might be restricted.
These losses continue many years, lit
is now twenty years since members OF
the State Board OF Health began teach
ing that consumption is a dangerous
communicable disease; and yet case is
even now in the courts, this important
question in sanitary science remaining,
under the present law, to be decided
BY an ordinary jury, composed OF men
having no special scientific training in
the technical knowledge necessary for
the decision Of such question. 1t is
believed that thousands OF dollars In ex-
penses, and thousand OF lives might be
saved to the people of Michigan by the
enactment of brief law which would
place the decision, from time to time,
OF what diseases are communicable and
therefore dangerous to the public
health" in some proper State authori-
ty, consisting of experts in sanitary sci.
ence, which authorized body shall be
charged with the duty of publishing in
each year to the boards of supervisors,
and to the householders and physician
just which diseases are then known to
sanitarians to be dangerous to the pub.
lie health" and therefore are required
by law TO be reported and restricted.

LANDMARK BURNED AT IONA

At 5:45 o'clock Monday evening fire
broke out In the old Ionia novelty mills
and In less than an hour the big build
ing was smouldering ruins. II was SO
fierce fire that it taxed the capacity
OF the fire department to keep the
flames from spreading to other proper
ty. The building stood at the corner
OF Main and Dexter streets and part
OF it was built in 1910 by Samuel Dex.
ter who operated the mill with water
power. In 1860 John G. Dexter rebuilt
the mill and put in steam. Fl. l.. Sha-
rick owned the mill for many years but
recently sold the property to Baldie &
Williams who place their loss at from
$4,000 to $1,000. They paid SIS, 900 for
it and have put in much new machinery
and had it stocked up heavily. The
grist mill was insured for $4,000, OF
which 81, 900 was in the Hartford, 81 ,00C
in the Traders OF Chicago and 81, 600 in
the Lansing Miller's Mutual. 1t is a
bad loss for the city. There is some
talk OF replacing it with a new and
modern roller mill but If it pans out
the way it did in Belding, they won't
get il.

DEMOCRATIC RECORD ON THE TRUST
QUESTION.

Every line OF legislation now on the
statute books of the United States d.
rected against trusts and unlawful
trade combinations was placed there
by the republicans.
That there is not more stringent law
against them is the fault of the demo-
cratic party.
The last occasion on which the par
ties, as represented in Congress, went
on record on the trust question was on
June LIST, 1900.
On that day final vote was taken on
constitutional amendment to grant
Congress power to define, regulate,
prohibit and dissolve trusts, monopo-
lies and combinations, whether exist
ing in the form of corporations or
otherwise. p"
1t requires two-thirds vote of Con-
gress to submit Constitutional Am
endment to the State Legislatures for
ratification.
The question to so submit it was lost
by vote OF 154 yeas to 1872 nays.
OF the yeas l49 were republicans and
only were democrats. The five were
Campbell OF Montana, Naphen and
Taylor of Massachusetts, Scudder OF
New York, and Sibley OF Pennsylva-
MIA.
or the 1872 nays, only two we're re-
publicans, Loud and Mccall.
Denouncing Is one thing. Doing is
another. Mr.. Bryan's trust denuncia-
tions, in view OF his party's record,
promise no better than the prophecies
he made four years ago; and as pro-
phet Mr.. Bryan has not succeeded.
