But modern innovations are strangers

carefully drawn. He has given much time and study to it. It will be fought on all imaginable grounds. Calamities untold will be predicted of it, but not calamity has followed the Texas bill or the Arkansas bill or the Mississippi bill, and none would follow the passage of the Pettus bill The calamities exist in the fertile imaginations of wel.-paio lobby ists and purchased papers only.
 If the people want protecaon from the organized robber trusts they will see that their representatives support the Pettus bill. If they prefer to pay two prices for articles of dany use and ne cessity, they will let the lobbyists con trol legislation on this subject, thereby defeating the Pettus bill. The fight is on, and if the people of the State will wake up the trusts can be curbed and controlled in this State.

JOCKEY SAM LAOATES
Gives His Opinion Concerning the Tod
 Sloan Incident.

New York, January 1.-The English jockey Samuel Laoates, proposes to visit the principal cities of the United States. He will start west in a week or ten days with San Francisco as his destination. He will attend the races there and visit some of the noted breeding establishments on the coast. On his return he will visit southern California and Florida, and will sail for nome about March. Speaking last night of the Tod Sloan incident, he said:
 eff Sloan assented to MT. Gardner's proposition to lay him f50O0 to nothing, the Jockey Club probably considered that vio- lation of the rules, although he did mot get the money. It looks to me as if he was let off easy with view to giving him a chance to ride in other countries. He will be fool ish if he seeks license in England next year, for the Jockey Club never tells what it has against anybody and never retracts, and he will surely be turned down.
 "As his case now stands it appears that trle Jockey Club simply says it does not want him, and at the same time does not present. any obstacles to his employment elsewhere It might be more satisfactory if the action were more definite"

Annexation and Trunk Sewers.

The proposed trunk sewers are con- mended almost beyond example. The health of Jones valley is at stake, and every tax payer in the county is inter- ested in securing good health in the 3'eat central valley of the county. No ane therefore opposes the trunk sewer bill and it will undoubtedly be passed soon after the Legislature is recon- yened.
 No one should oppose the bill to an- mex the districts surrounding the nar- row confines of the city. All would be benefited, and no district will have sa- looms that does not want them. There are no saloons in the cley except where petitioners want them. A section that wants no saloon merely has to say so, and no saloon will confront them.
 The work of assimulating outlying districts should be begun at once, in or der that it may go on in an orderly man. ner year after year. u is ten years task, and a beginning should be made this year. Tn this way Birmingham can get ready to astonish the world with a city population exceeding 100000 and county population exceeding 100000, in 1910. Such figures would attract more capital and more population, for in this world nothing succeeds so well and so easily as success.

WALL STREET OWNS ITS MASTERS

Henry Clews, in the Saturday Evening
 Post.
 At his best, Jay Gould was always com pelled to face the chance of failure. Com- modore Vanderbilt, though he often had the street in the palm of his hand, was frequently driven into a corner where he had to do battle for his life. And so 1t was with every great speculator or combi- nation of speculators, until the men who control the Standard Oil took hold. With them manipulation has ceased to be specu- lation. Their resources are so vast that they need only to concentrate on any given property in order to do with 1t what they please; and that they have thus coneen- trated considerable number of prop critics outside of the stocks which they are popuarly supposed to be exclusively inter- ested is a fact we'll known to everyone who has opportunities of getting beneath the surface. They are the greatest operators the world has ever seen, and the beauty of their method is the quietness and lack of ostentation with which they carry it on. There are no gallery plays, there are no scare heads in the newspapers, there is no wild scramble or excitement. With them the process is gradual, thorough and steady, with never a waver or break. How much money this group of men have made it is impossible even to estimate. That 1t is a sum beside which the gain of the most daring speculator of the past was a mere bagatelle is putting the case mildly. And there is an utter absence of chance that is terrible to contemplate. This combina- ton controls Wall street almost absolutely. Many of the strongest financial institutions are at their service in supplying accommo- dations when needed With such power and facilities it is easily conceivable that these men must mako enormous sums on either side of the market.
