THE PRESIDENT AND TRUSTS.

The impression is being expressed In
Washington dispatches that it is the
purpose of the President to deal with
the trust question in his message to
Congress in very vigorous manner.
1t is probable that this impression is
founded upon his utterances in respect
to trusts while he was Vice President.
1t Will be recalled that just before
President Mckinley was assassinated,
Mr.. Roosevelt made speech in which
he took strong ground in favor of state
or national control of trusts.
1t is not believed that he will recom-
mend legislation looking to the destruc-
ton of trusts. 1t would be mistake
to do so. 1t is generally recognized
that trusts have come to stay. The
evils which We're apprehended from
them have not proven to be as great
as were expected, but there is of course
no assurance that they will not be
greater than they have yet been. Thus
far trusts have been held in check by
threatened legislation and threatened
competition. Only few of them have
been able to get complete monopoly
of their respective products, and they
have not felt secure in their position.
1t would not be surprising if the
President should recommend the con-
troll of trusts by means of national
and state commissions-a control sim
liar to that which is now exercised over
appear to be giving very general sat-
isfaction. The Interstate Commerce
Commission, which has supervision of
interstate railways, is all the time ask
ing for more power, and some of the
reasons which it offers in support of
its request are good ones. Still, the
power which 1t now has is very great,
and greater power should not be
granted except in SO guarded a man
ner that it could not be abused.
The trust question is undoubtedly one
Of the greatest before the people. Much
that has been said in regard to it was
based upon an incomplete understand
ing of it. and under the impression
that trusts were going to ruin the
country. 1t is possible now to discuss
it more intelligently than a year ago,
and the views that will be entertained
of ii a year hence will be different
from those which are entertained now.
Prior to the last presidential election
the feeling seemed to be that trusts
must be destroyed. Now it is seen that
legislation looking to their destruction
is impracticable. Judging from what
the President has said in his public ut
terances in respect to them, it is not
improbable that, in his message, he
will point out the Importance of con-
trolling them without making any rec
ommendation whatever regarding
them.

In a certain skirmish an officer got a
slight scratch on his leg. The wound,
says the Regiment, which tells the
story, was a matter of great glory to
him, and he nursed it through after
days, growing lamer with every fear
that the memory of his bravery might
pass out of mind.
One day, late in life, as ne sat nurs-
ing his leg and bordering the glorious
past, a young man visiting the family
for the first time approached. and SYM
pathetically remarked Lame, Colon

With painful slowness the old man
lifted his pet leg in both hands, set 1t

slowly from his chair, and, looking
down upon the unfortunate youth with
mingled pity and wrath. burst forth
in the sublimity of rage. Go and read

THE MATTER WITH CHICAGO.

Prof. Charles Zueblin of the Chi
cago University is of the opinion that
Chicago is not a city in which people
can have a decent existence. In the
course of a lecture a few days ago
before the Matheon Club of that city,
on the subject of culture" he said:
The most of our houses have false
fronts of brownstone. terra Gotta or
pressed bricks. while the sides and
rears are made OF what one of my
friends calls sewer bricks.
What Prof Zuebln was trying TO i'm
press upon the minds OF the people of
Chicago was that their houses were
shams. and II is probable that there
was truth in what he said. There is
a lot OF push and go in Chicago. and

ARE LEGS DOOMED.

Some of the evolutionists tell us that
man once had a tail, of sufficient
length to brush away. the flies. In sup
port of this theory they are able to
point to rudimentary evidence which
the process of evolution has not even
yet entirely removed. However,
as man progressed toward his
present high state the need for
the fiy-brush disappeared; and
when there was no longer any de-
mand, nature cut off the supply-and
that is why man was deprived of his
caudal appendage. The underlying
principle, of course, is that the persist
ent disuse of members will be follow
ed by their disappearance. The blind
fishes of the Mammoth Cave have no
eyes, for the very simple and satisfac-
tory reason that they do not need them.
Living in perpetual darkness, organs
of visions would be of no more use
to them than a long and flowing tail
to a twentieth century man.
Applying the principle thus briefly
suggested, Prof. Young, an English
man, looks forward to a time when
the human race will be without legs.
The tendency of science is towards
rendering legs unnecessary. The farm
er no longer needs to walk behind his
pillow or his harrow; he can ride in the
sulky seat of the implement and cult
waite his crop. Then he can climb into
another seated appliance and harvest
his grain, and transfer into another
and haul his crop to market. He
doesn't have to walk to the postoffice,
since the postman is to bring his mail
to the door under the rural delivery
system. In town the trolleys and the
automobiles and the bicycles are MAX
ing walking unpopular and less resort
ed to year by year. In short, the world
is running to wheels-not in the head
so much. probably, but certainly for
purposes of transportation. And wheel
transportation is being all the while
cheapened and popularized. The brain
is forever striving TO give the legs less
work to do.
What is the logical outcome? Why,
manifestly. II the legs fall into disuse
nature will remove them, just as she
has done the fiy-brush. Nature abhors
uselessness as much as she does q
vacuum. Thus we have staring us in
the face, according TO Prof. Young. not
only the possibility but the probability
OF a legless race In the future. The
dominant brain WILL OF course. devise

why ormsIy Left Home.

A few days ago, says the Baltimore
American, a man named Ormsby. of
Chicago, fled preeipitately from his
home when quadruplets arrived. Prior
to the coming of this contribution to
the population his home had been glad
dened by the birth of twins, triplets
and several single children. At the
time Ormsby was held. up to cenSure
because of his heartlessness in desert
ing his family, and his wife and chill
dren were represented as being thrown
upon the mercy "a cold, cold world.
Immediately charitable donations be-
gan to flow toward the Ormsby home.
II developed also that Mrs. OrmSby
had been left in charge of a small gro
Gerry. Trade at this establishment in
creased to department store dimen-
sions and money came in like water
through a mill race, while the quad
ruplets and triplets and the twins and
the single children were lulled to sleep
by the continuous music of the bell on
the cash register.
Naturally, it would be thought that
about the first thing the deserted wife
and mother would do would be to es-
tablish connections with a savings
bank. Reports of the christening of the
recently born quartette do not justify
such a conclusion, however. From the
details of that affair we gather that
Mrs. Ormsby provided herself with n
picture hat and a black silk dress, lace
hood, flannel cloak and similar finery
for each quadruplet, and that she went
to the church in the rubber tired car
riage drawn by two white horses, and
decked with American flags. There does
not seem to be so much cause for won
der as to why Ormsby left home after

sANTos-DUMoN1os TRIUMPH.

Public opinion will sanction the
award by the Paris Aero Club of the
Deutsch prize of 100000 francs to San
tos- Dumont, the Brazilian aeronaut.
The young man fairly won the money,
and deserved 1t besides. The terms un,
der which the prize was, offered were
that the airship should start from St.
Cloud, sail around the Eiffel Tower
and return to the starting point III
thirty minutes. The prize was at first
withheld from Dumont because, not
withstanding he made the round trip
within the specified time, with some
seconds to spare, he failed to let the
end of his drag-rope touch the earth
at st, Cloud within the time limit. In
stead OF descending at once he made
a detour from the proposed landing
place, and then returned to it. The
first half of the trip was made with
the wind, the second half dead against
it. 1t was the second half that prov
ed the practicability of a dirigible or
steerable balloon.
Having accomplished so much, at the
risk of his life a hundred times over,
the plucky young Brazilian is going to
attempt to do more. During the latter
part of December he is going to try to
make the trip from Monaco to Corsica
in his air ship, in half the time that
it takes a mail steamer to cover the
distance, which is about lis miles. Du-
mont predicts that he will make the
passage in four hours or less if the
wind should prove favorable. Whether
he will undertake to drive his balloon
against the wind for any such dis
lance has not yet been deter
mined, though it is not likely. The
next demonstration is to be for the
purpose of showing that it is practical
bic to set out for a given point and
steer to that point under favorable
weather conditions.
Santos Dumont's experiments and
successes have had the effect of pow.
erfully stimulating the human desire
to fly and hundreds of persons in Eu-
rope, and not a few in this country
have tackled the problem of aerial nav
igation with renewed hope of success
If we are not mistaken it was Mr.. Ed
ison who predicted a year or so age
that men would be flying through the
air at will before the first quarter OF
the new century had been passed
Santos Dumont's experiments and Edi-
sons new storage battery may aid in

half of the period has elapsed.

structed, as out OF houses of first-elass
material?
1t may be that the average Chicago
man, instead of putting on clean
shirt when that garment becomes
somewhat soiled, satisfies his con-
science and deceives the public by
putting on a clean shirt front. To do
that is much less trouble and 1t helps
to keep down the wash bills.
Prof. Zeublin did not undertake to
explain why 1t was that Chicago glo-
ries in houses which have false fronts,
but if asked he would have given,
probably, the foregoing explanation.
Men are very apt to carry into their
business affairs ideas which, for any
reason, they find satisfactory in other
matters. The professor, however,
would hardly have condemned the false
fronts of the shirts of the Chicago
men as severely as he condemned the
false fronts of the Chicago houses.

GO TO THE FAR.

There were about 1000 people at the
State Fair on Saturday. 1t was the
best day of the season, so far; but 1t
was not what it should have been, con-
sidering the excellence of the attrac-
tions furnished by the Fair Associa-
| ton. 1t is conceded by everybody COM
petent to express a valuable opinion on
the subject that the agricultural dis
plays are twice as good as any that
have heretofore been shown at a Geor-
gta State Fair. And there isn't any
room for successfully questioning that
the horse racing feature of the expo
sition has never been equalled in
Georgia. There is neither evasion nor
over-drawing in either of these state
ments. They are plain facts that can
be easily substantiated.
And in this connection ii seems to
be not out of place to state some 9TH
err plain facts, namely that certain of
our fellow citizens who failed from enc
cause and another to help the Fair be-
fore it was opened are making them
selves conspicuous by their absence
from it now that 1t is in full blast. It
is a Savannah institution, and Savan-
nah has made 1t credit to the state
Civic pride ought to prompt every cit
izen who can possibly do so to contrib
ute to the success of the enterprise 1t
is the moral duty of every business
man and every taxpayer in the city
and the county to aid at least to the
extent of a little gate money. The fact
that the State Fair is being held here
will be a benefit to the city, and every
business man will share in that bene-
fit to a greater or less extent, directly
or indirectly. Those who have held
aloof will share in the benefits as well
as those who have borne the heat and
burden" of the labor of making the
Fair success.
And it would be we'll for our friends
in other parts of the state to bear in
mind this fact that Savannah has not
only gotten up the Fair-and a re-
markedly fine one it is-but that the
Savannah Fair Association has paid
off the debts of the Georgia State Ag.
ricultural Society and put that organ
ization in better financial condition
than 1t has been for years. And then
again the Savannah Fair Association
has made it's premiums for agricultur-
al exhibits larger by great odds than
were ever before offered.
The Fair is clean handed, bright and
attractive-such as Savannah might
have been expected to give. And it is
we'll worth seeing. 1t is an educating
as well as an amusing exposition.
There are six days more in which il
may be visited. Every person in the
city who can possibly do so ought to
take 1t in, and as many outside the
city as can come will find themselves
we'll repaid for the time and expense
of making the trip. 1t is a great Fair,
and should meet with great success
because it deserves such success.

II never knew till recently that cats
knew so much about colors,' said a
bright little woman who lives in the
upper part of the city, according to
the New Orleans Times Democrat.
''but have no doubt whatever of the
matter now. The fact was brought
to my attention in a rather singular
way. ---.-. ~.
We have nest of cats. at our home,
and we have always been very much
attached to the feline tribe. They
are all pets. But there is one cat in
the group that we have been unusual
ly kind to. She was the particular pet
of the family.
Her body was covered with the
prettiest white fur ever saw. 1t was
without a blemish, and we came to
look upon her as the prettiest cat on
the face of the earth. But something
happened to her one day while she
was rummaging around in an old PAN
try. and it changed the course of her
life completely. She got mixed UP
with a lot of blueing bottles, and when
she scrambled out of the pantry she
was as blue as she could be.
"She was fearfully distressed about
the matter and seemed to be somewhat
alarmed over the sudden change in
her appearance. But the surprise she
felt was nothing compared to the sur
prise shown by her relatives and asso-
ciates. In the moment of her alarm
she turned to the mother cat of the
tribe, and there is where the interest
ing point comes in. The old cat would
have nothing to do with her. She re-
scented her approaches by splitting at
her and manifested her dislike of IL
all in other ways equally as unmis-
taxable. -
From that time on she became an
cutcast; her relatives and associates
would stink away from her, and she
continued to live in isolation, and al
on account of the change which had
taken place in the color of her hair. .
