Chinese sovereigns shall not be made pris-
oners of war. 1t is said that the
powers are authorized. under the
rules and practices of International

Enormous Damage by Forest Fires.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 21.-Ten million dol
lars, 1t is estimated. will be the damage,
present and prospective. caused by the for
est fires now sweeping over the mountains
of Colorado and Wyoming. According to
General Land Agent Wantland, of the
Union Pacific road. the loss of timber
burned is only a comparatively small item
in the total amount of damage. "In many
places" he said. "the fires are spreading
ever almost bare country, land where there
is nothing but young growth, which might
have made the forests of ten n twenty
years hence If 1t had not been for these
fires"
The vicinity of Glenwood Springs and
such places where the tourists resort, will
be much affected in a commercial way be-
cause the scenery will be impaired. In Mid
die Park the fires are burning so fiercely
that ranchmen are beginning to fear that
their homes will be swept away and their
properties ruined.

WHY THE LAWS FAIL.

A large variety of causes have been
assigned for the observed failure of anti
trust laws TO accomplish their object.
The failure has been attributed to the
corruption of courts, the Discrimination
Of public officials TO enforce antitrust
laws. the employment by the trusts Of
the best legal talent the country offers,
the laws indefniteness arising from the
difficulty of discriminating between the
legitimate business corporation and the
combination designed TO suppress com
petition.
Attorney Thos G. Sherman, of Brook
Ign, points out what he believes TO be
the real cause.
Combinations subversive of competi-
ton" he says, ARE always founded on a
monopoly Of natural resources. These
monopolies owe their existence TO special
unjust privileges conferred upon them
by legislation. The foundation principle
Of these combinations is restriction.
Every effort thus far made by Legis-
latures TO destroy these combinations
has been in the form of still further re
striction. Competition is tied up in
chains by trust monopolies, and Congress
and the Legislatures try TO nullify the
chains by claiming the chains. That is
why antitrust laws fail.
THE tariff laws" continues Mr.. Shear
man, ARE among these legislative re-
strictions. The inconsistency of any
man who demands that competition shall
be fee, when it works in his favor, but |
shall be prohibited, when it works
against him, is obvious"
