which the good book tells us shall pre- cede the dawn of that era of peace on earth and goodwill toward men, 2"
 Governor-elect Albert B. Cummings of Iowa followed Senator McLaurin.
 Address of A. B. Cummings,
 The Hon. A. B. Cummings, governor elect of Iowa, spoke about The Present Prosperity of the Republic: What Are the Essentials to Its Continuance"
 He thought it futile to inquire what legislation, if any, should be adopted to prevent or adjust the devastating contro- versies between the employer and em- ployed. between capital and labor, until there is a power as broad and as com- prehensive as the problem itself to pre- scribe a solution. It is hardly worth While to enlist the best thought of the country upon restrictions and regulations of trade combinations and industrial mo- nopolies so long as forty-five states in hopeless confusion hold the only power that can be exercised"
 He thought ''the constitution of the Uni ted States should be amended to give Congress Jurisdiction over this struggle which wages, necessarily through the whole sovereignty of the republic.' He added: q know there is a widespread feeling that industrial combinations are drifting toward monopolies. I know that there are but two forces that can be trusted to regulate prices-competition and law. I know that the people of this country will no more submit to industrial monopoly than to governmental mon- archy, and yet we are powerless to even project remedies or investigate the causes of the inquietude for there is no author ity broad enough to embrace the sub ject.''
 MT. Cummings favored reciprocity pro- vided home markets were not lost. He favored also a shipping subsidy and the isthmian canal.

SAFE RoBBER KILLED.
Not Known Who Shot Him But sup-
 posed to Be a Pal.

Wichita, Kan, November 19.-At Hutch inson last night the Missouri Pacific de- pot was burglarized. Afterward one of the robbers was found dead with a bull let hole in his heart. It is not known who shot him.
 It is believed the dead man was stunned by the explosion which was very heavy and that the others, thinking he was too badly crippled to get away, evidently shot him. An Identification card bearing the name of Charles M. Kinney was found on the dead man. The card was a guarantee from the International Registry Company for expenses of caring for Kinney in case of sickness or accident
 The money left in the safe last night was all found under the debris.

 The Governor has received no tele7 grams or other advices from the Cover nors of neighboring States as to what ac- tion they will take, but it is expected that the fight will be taken up in all the Northwestern States several of which have laws similar to Minnesota prohibit ing the consolidation of parallel and com peting lines of railroads. The laws of North Dakota, Montana and Washington are said to be identical with those of Minnesota.

Officials of Corporations Here Have Little to Say About the Matter. Profess to Know Moth.
 ing of 1t. ,s.

A cloudy mystery overhangs the for nation of a new $1OO,OOO,OOO steel trust, the announcement of which was made Saturday from the office of Blymer, Hobbs & Stover in New York. From no source can any information of a specific nature be obtained. At the law firms office all names are kept religiously se- cret.
 Investigation among local companies failed to elicit any information regard ing the project, further than the fact that no company owning property here is connected with the proposed consolida- tion. At each office of local officials ut ter ignorance was professed. All declared themselves disinterested, at least.
 Frederick H. Clarke, who is acting as talking agent for the law firm. said that neither the Republic Iron and Steel Com pany, the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com pany nor the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company would be interested. What he did say of the consolidation is as follows:

Won't Shake Market.

who are acting in professional capac- ity to shake the stock market by an an- nouncement containing the names of the iron and steel concerns to be included in the combine The shares of some of the companies we intend to take in are traded in on the securities markets, and we might say something that would affect them either adversely or otherwise"
 ''The combine wil lembrace companies in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys as we'll as in other places. We expect to make some sort of statement next week. We will absorb plants at their in- trinsic value only. There will be infia- tion. No company will be taken in unless it can show certain pront lroln i's op- erations in the past
 When MT. Clarke was asked whether his company would include any Of the proiected or recently organized iron ana steel concerns he replied in the negative. "Our company" he said, will be com nosed of established and profitable plants, and A feature will be that there will be no watered stock in the consolidated com pany.'
 "It is said,'' yentured reporter, that excluding the companies you say will not be associated with the combine, there are not enough independent con- cerns remaining in the country to war rant a combination with a capital of $50. OOO,0OO or $1OO,0OOOoo
 Take in Tube Mills.
 "we think differently" answered MT. Clarke. .Included in the combination will be several tube, sheet steel and open hearth concerns, but am sorry can not give you their names. You would recognize them as valuable properties if did"
 In iron and steel circles the matter of a new $1Oo, coo, 600 combination was treated lightly. At the offices of the Republic Iron and Steel Company, Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, United States Steel Corporation and United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company, nothing was l known regarding the alleged enterprise. | Manufacturers declared that a combina- ton with a capital of $100,0OOOOo or even $50 1000, 900 was impossible unless one or more of the big independent companies were included.
 The Wall Street Summary said the proposed company was more likely to be capitalized at s25,ooo.oOO. However, MT, l Clarke says 1t will be organized with a capital stock of at least $50,0O0,O0O. The statement was made in yesterday mornings newspapers that the represen- tatives of the constituent companies of the proposed combine would meet In the Waldorf-Astoria in the afternoon to per feet the plan of organization. It was said later that the meeting had been postponed.

SUNDAY AND the FAMILY.

President Roosevelt is to be COM
mended for announcing that Sunday is
to be reserved for his family and that
business callers will not be received
that day at the White House.
The executives example is worthy
imitation by every man so situated
that he can call one day In the week
his own and custom has so ordered life
In this country that the day most con-
veniently reserved for rest is the first
day OF the week.
One OF the students of waywardness
among American boys insists that
lack OF home love Is bred In the na-
tive boy by unconscious or willful es-
arrangement between American parents
and their children. They are not al
ways mutually companionable. The
parents often find their own pleasures
and leave the children to enjoy theirs
In isolation or neglect A contrast be-
tween European and American home
life is frequently made by travellers In
this country to our disadvantage. The
American father. 1t is alleged, Is SO
engrossed in money-making all his
life and every day In the week that
his children grow up strangers to him
and seek away from home the COM
radeship they ought to fnd at home
and with their parents until marriage.

DEATH OF COLONEL mApLesoN.

The death Of Colonel ]. II. Maple
son In London removes from the world
Of music the last and. in some respects
the most picturesque of the old-schooi
opera impressarios. All his contem-
poraries, Lumley. Ullman. Grover. ia
cob Grau, Maretzek. the Strakosh
brothers, and De Vivo. died some time
ago. Maurice Grau, the most promi-
nent of the Italian opera managers OF
today, can hardly be called one of the
old school. for he was ticket seller
when Colonel Mapleson was in his
glory.
1t were useless to deny Colonel Ma
pleson's great service to the opera
goers OF this country. For eighteen
years he was the leading operate pur-
veyor. and during that period he pre-
sented nealy two score of the most
famous artists and introduced many
new operas to the American public at
considerable expense to his patrons
and at considerable loss to himself,
for he was nearly always on the verge
of bankruptcy and sometimes over the
verge. His financial straits, however,
nowise abashed or distressed him. In
some mysterious way he always came
out on top and continued year after
year to present operas in lavish style
and pay most extraordinary salaries.
