AN ELOQUENT PLEA
Against the Laughlin Liquor BilI-A
Measure That Would Work 4.othing


WHEELING, January %, 1901.
To the Editor OF the Register.
Sir:-As an American and a citizen
of Wheeling, the writer must protest
against the passage by the Legislature
of the Laughlin license BILL until the
duly elected city authorities can ex-
press their opinions. The necessity
for such legislation does not now exist.
A reform City Council has been elected.
No one need fear that a fake hotel will
again be licensed or an improper
character permitted to run a saloon
or hotel. We will have chief of po-
lice who will enforce the laws.
Every sentiment of propriety die
tates that the City Council should be
consulted about such drastic changes
in the city charter as this Laughlil
bill will make. 1t is measure which
must inevitably reduce still further
cur inefficient receipts for the main
tenance of government, and cause 10
spring up that most obnoxious and de-
testable of vicious institutions, the
"speakeasy."
This one man power to pass on ap-
plications for license is un-American,
and so radical a change in our charter
that it should have more careful and
deliberate consideration than it has
had as yet at the hands of those duly
elected to conduct city affairs. 1t
seems Objectionable for any gentleman,
however high in social or business life,
to usurp the functions of our newly
elected city officials and propose such
great change in our charter to the
Legislature upon their own RESPONSE
bility. OBSERVER.

SENSIBLE WORDS ABOUT TRUSTS.

SENSIBLE WORDS ABOUT TRUSTS.
In an article on the remedies for
trusts Prof. Bascom, of Williams Col
lege, uses some striking comparisons.
Speaking CT the dangerous tendency of
corporations towards trusts, he says;
corporate action has been cur most
remarkable development, and one or
the most successful Of cur productive
agents How, then, has it SO sudden
" taken on an inimical form and, like
an Infatuated elephant, broken Fl )m
the hand that has held it to service?"
1t is necessary to apply more search
ing remedies than moral suaslon to an
infuristed elerhant
Prof. Bascom truly says that We can
net afford TO sacrifice the immense
power which combination brings, since
its ultimate object is the general wei
fare. But 1--WE cannot let it accumulate
without the s'trictest surveillance, or it
is at once diverted from its public
S4sergice and begins to trample under
fest those whom it should aid"
The interest Of the workman has
been kept in the foreground as a cloak,
and cclolable claim, in framing pro-
tective laws, but what sympathy was
shown with the workman in the
Homestead AFFAIR."" asks Prof. Bascom.
why was there the need of a law to
labor? What respect does that in
FAINT industry now that it has passed
into the hands of millionaires, into
the stage of political power, manifest
for the needs of the government that
has nourished it to these gigantic
proportions? When plate armor is
called for, extortionate prices are
forced down only by the threat OF
competition restored in their manufac-
ture by the State. What a comment
on protection, The destruction of
foreign competition and then an effort
" SSSdpC Tic ny
competition"
There is one remedy for the evil OF
trusts upon which the leading econo-
mists substantially agree. That is the
just and obvious remedy of removing
from the tariff the duties which pro-
tect those monopolies. The exact ex-
tent to which these taxes on the con-
sumner foster trusts is now unknown.
but their removal would at least re-
move the power of the trusts to make
the American people pay two or three
times more for trust products than the
foreigner is charged by these same
trusts for the same products. This
view is held by thoughtful men OF both
parties.
Prof Bascom says: THE immediate

THE SNOW STORM.

The morning dawns, and, 10,
Sold earth is clad in white.
The wintry winds did blow
And sigh and sob all night
Inc whistle was so shrii
AS round the house winds blew.
Ihey caused the air to chill
Nnen near the earth they flew.
The dusky clouds hang low,
And swiftly through the air
SKIP clouds of heecy snow
To make the earth look fair,
As for bridal night.
The trees stretch forth their arms
To catch, while in its flight,
Dear Natures purest charms.
They don their garments pure
And wave their snowy arms:
OF beauty they feel sure
And know their sparkling charms
VIII glisten in the sunshine
And deck their now gray hair.
The bushes think them fine,
with them try to compare.
The snow comes sailing down
To fill the arms of all,
And cover ~ the brown
Remains OF the late fall.

And longs to go inside
To warm its feet again.

And thy wee form would eatT

Where nature placed thy feet:

For hours the white fakes fall
And cover all the ground:
None can be seen at all
No bare earth can be found.
They drift above the fence
Like mountains, ali ~ snew,
And yes, / see, from thence
Wee pure white cliffs do blow.
