REGULATION. NOT DEsTRTCTIoN


The existing system of conducting our
largest industries through the medium
of trusts, it is generally acknowledge
ed found its origin in the effort to min
imize waste. Any movement in Industrial
life which seeks to accomplish this end
deserves approval, and, when followed by
success in that direction, is bound to
beat competition down where the same
principle is not in operation.
Waste is the supreme economic evil OF
American life. We waste almost as
much as we utilize. In even the poor
est household through ignorance and fol-
y combined want is produced where
plenty ought to prevail In many house
holds there is much more wasted than
would maintain another family of like
dimensions. This is true to a vastly
greater degree i'll the domain Of industry
Indiyidualism may not be dead or even
dying in the United States, but in in
dustrial pursuits, Individual, discon-
nected effort is today futile.
The great impulse which the organiza-
ton of trusts has received all over the
world is due to the recognition of this
truth. The production OF given COM
modify in great quantity and by one
or a few agencies leads to economy OF
force and energy. and necessarily to
the chcapening and improvement of ex-
listing processes. 1t does too naturally
dispense with surplus and unnecessary
labor; and, as labor is naturally the
great factor of expense in all Industrial
undertakings, the lesseping of its cost
IS tie first requirement to greatly lessen
ed cost OF production.
1t is remarkable circumstance in
connection with the great commercial and
industrial combinations which have been
formed in recent years, that such of
these combinations as have been organ
lied on sound commercial PRINCIPLES have
been able to avoid ali difficulty with
their employees. They have avoided
strikes and all other forms of waste which
spring from disagreement between en-
ployer and employee. II the truth were
known, many of those who uaderta Ike
to express the sentiments of woriingmen
on the subject of trusts are advising the
acceptance of the Industrial conditions
involved in the trusts as being more ia
vorable in actual operation to labor than
the old conditions.
Anyone at all conversant with the OBJ
Grafton of the recent building trade
troubles in Chicago can form some idea
of the amount of actual ruinous waste
of material. energy and skill which was
involved. 1t was all the product of In
dividual pig-headedness, on the part of
both employers and employees The in
diyidual boss felt that he was called upon
to repeI the insolence of men who made
demands which he thought unreasonable
and sought to enforce those demands,
as he believed. in a spirit of tyranny and
without any regard whatever to his
rights. He fought back accordingly. and
his employe fought forward; and be-
tween them they fought backward and
forward until they inflicted almost r.
reparable injury on themselves and on
the city.
With the personal element left out of
that and other disputes there would be
no such condition of feeling. Could one
imagine the building business of Chicago
under single management such scenes

THE WEST AND THE SHIP SUBSIDY

The matter of freight rates is the only
thing that will interest the West in the
ship subsidy bill. The farmers of Mime
sofa don't care a rap as to what accom-
modations the millionaires find on max
ing their annual trip to Europe but any
measure that will lower ocean freight
rates directly concerns every American
farmer. If London is paying 81
for wheat and the cost of handling and
transportation from Minnesota to Lon
don is 20 cents, the Minnesota farmer will
get so cents for his wheat; but if freight
rates are lowered cents a bushel the
farmer will get So cents. Hence, any
measure that will cause a permanent
reduction Of ocean freight rates can
count OH strong support from the farmers
OF tine West.
II the people are not in favcr of the
bill the cause for that is no conundrum.
1t merely looks to the people as il the
makers of the bill were more concerned
in paying immense premiums to the
owners Of fast passenger boats than in
building up a freight carrying fleet.
AS the report of the minority in the
house said last winter, '''rhe government
is asked to pay, not for the expectation
OF American produce, but for the expor-
tation Of American customers for the
foreign markets.
1t is reported that Senator Hanna will
insist On the passage of this bill, that
be will raise the roof if necessary
and force it through anyway. There
is no need of all that, if he will have
the bill put in such form as 20 con-
vince the people that it will stimulate
American shipping and result i'll lower
freight rates to the advantage of all,
the people themselves will see about
pushing it through. even if the senator
should go fishing

his seat in the house. He dropped the

ROBINSON CIRCUS
Chattanooga Times Gives the Show
 High Praise

The Chattanooga Times has the following to say of the John Robinson Circus, which exhibits here today:
 i John Robinsons Circus showed in this city yesterday and, in spite of indictment weather, presented a handsome street pa rade and drew a large crowd to both per- iformances.
 ''The show was we'll worth the price of admission to even the most fastidious The menagerie, though small, presented a better selection than is to be found in most travelling shows, many of the animals being rare and unusual. For example, the cage containing three representative South American animals, a large Brazilian tapir, a peccary and a capybora, proved quite an for children just entering geog- raphy. Among the rare animals that at tracted attention was an enormous Euro pean wild boar, a pair of otters, something which few shows have, and which are nevertheless among the most interesting of animals: cage of magnificent white pelI- cans, kangaroos, seals, a striped hyena, etc. The cat. antelope and OK families were fully represented.
 ''The Solomon and Queen of Sheba feat ure is perhaps the most instructive att traction in the United States. The scen- cry, arms, costuming, chariots, everything in fact Is a faithful and exact copy of everything that was worn, possessed or in- habited by the ancient Israelites and Egyp- tians, as revealed by the discoveries of nrcheologists. This performance was there- fore. treat to the learned. and a world of instruction to those who had read the Bible, but who had never witnessed as faithful a reproduction of Bible times as presented in this short drama.
 "Robinson's show also presented a large number of new ring features. Among the most amusing as well interesting was the trainer, who, dressed as a farmer,
 walked into the ring driving a dozen pigs Many supposed that he was some simple minded intruder, until the porkers began climbing ladders, see-sawing and doing other stunts" that took the audience by surprise and delighted them.
 "In all other respects the show was quite up to the advertisements, and the audience went away delighted"

LITTLE ALfRED'S GO-CART.
By Dot Dimple.

"Oh, dear mamma, think I really could do something to make some money to help you along if you would only let me stay from school You see I could work in the day and go to school at night, and by do7 ing this l could keep up my studies and earn money too." il
 Thus pleaded Alfred Cunning to his fi- valid mother who sat looking tenderly ifl- to her boys face as he kneIt by her side.
 "No, no my son, you must not stay away from school. I know it seems very hard for you to go without the nice little things the best you possibly with the little that mamma earns by doing her embroid- cry and fancy work. *o
 "Oh, don't mind myself bit mamma" ]" replied Alfred, ''it is you whom I am thinking of. It makes me so sad when l think of the nice things that you used I'd have before papa went away, and how you never have them any more. But 1 will think of something yet" J
 He used often to think if he had his father how different things would be, What had become of MT. Dunning no one knew One day he went to the city to at tend to some business, leaving word that he would come back the same evening" h,st when night came he did not put in an apl pearance, and now it had been quite SIX years since anything had been heard of him, in spite of the inquiries and searSssS1s by every one. Mrs. Cunning was always very delicate, but since this misfortune she grew gradually worse until she kcoame quite an invalid
 Two days after his conversation with hsS mother Alfred came running into the house, breathless with excitement
 "Oh, mamma, I have plan and it is a

I have everything ready

fine one tell you I have everything ready to carry it out
 There was wide road, beautifully pav- ed not very far from Alfreds house. where hundreds of people passed ourlns the day, for the Cummings lived on the outskirts of fashionable autumn resort: Alfred's plan was to take his pet pig and hitch him to a little go-cart which he had made from an old chair, and in tnls quaint vehicle take the children who pass ed along the lovely road for a ride, they to pay him five cents.
 Just to please him Mrs. Dunning let AL fred carry out his idea, and though he did not like it much at first the little pet pig soon grew to be very fond of his position, and some days Alfred would make as much as $2 by riding the children about in his cart It was fun and all the child ren liked it.
 One day a fine-looking gentleman came riding up the road on his bicycle. From the moment that Alfred laid eyes on him he was interested in the stranger, and as the gentleman got nearer he too became interested in the little boy and his strange carriage. Finally he came up to Alfred and without saying a word clasped the little fellow in his arms in a long embrace.
 "Oh. my soni my soni" he exclaimed; ; "how happy 1 am to be with you again. What can all this mean?' he asked when he had grown calmer and caught glimpse of Alfreds strange go-cart.
 Alfred delightedly told his father all that had happened and how he came to be there And you, papa, we thought you were dead''
 Did you not hear from me?" MT Dun ming asked.
 Not word." answered Alfred.
 It was a happy day for Mrs. Dunning When they had gotten over the excitement her husband oxploinod ~h,- lr~ hud ueen away so long, When he arrived in the city he met friend whom he had not seen for years.
 They went to boat together and, forget ting that it to sail, sat down and talk ed for two hours, when they were startled by the motion of the ship. But it was too late; they were out on the sea now and couldn't go back.
