a FRIEND OF THE TRUSTS.

There is no doubt that the Republican
party is the friend of the trusts. 1t is
not stretching the truth to say that the
trusts own that party. 1t is true, of
course, that Congressman Babcock, a
Republican, has proposed to remove the
protective duties from trust articles. but
his proposition will meet with no favor
from Congress. In fact, the Republican
leaders are busy circulating statements
that are calculated to create the i'm
preston that any interference with the
tariff at this time would disturb business
and bring about hard times.
Besides, the Republican orators and
newspapers are telling the people that
there is no danger to be apprehended
from trusts. In a speech delivered at
the Chautauqua Assembly at Winfield.
Kansas. on the Fourth of July, Con-
gresham Grosvenor of Ohio who is re-
garded as the spokesman of the admin
stration on the floor of the House, after
commencing trusts, said that injurious
combinations Of industrial plants-com-
bnauons watch reduce wages of labor
and increase the prices of their products
would not be tolerated.
But suppose there are trusts which do
not cut dcwn the number of their emo
ployes or reduce the wages of employees,
but do greatly increase the prices of
their products, because having a monop-
oily they are able to do 50, Will the Re
publican party tolerate them? The infer
ence from what Mr.. Grosvenor said is
that 1t will. 1t does not care apparently
to what extent trusts rob consumers, 50
long as the consumers do not threaten
to retaliate by voting against the Re
publican party, the recognized protector
of trusts.
In his Kansas speech Mr.. Grosvenor
declared that trusts had vastly increased
the exports of the country. There is no
doubt they have, but have they not done
it to a great extent at the expense of
American consumers? The statement was
published a day or two ago that the
United States Steel Corporation was de-
lvering steel billets to customers in the
Interior of England at $25 per ton. And
1t must not be forgotten that the freight,
which is about $12 per ton is paid by
that corporation The facts therefore
are these: This Billion Dollar Steel Trust
sells to British consumers steel biIlets
at $13 per ton and for similar billets
charges American consumers $25 per ton.
1t would be Interesting to know how
long the American people are going to
stand such discrimination. win they
not insist upon the removal of the du-
ties on all kinds of steel products manu-
featured by the trusts? Unless all signs
fail they will.

HoME-sEEkERs, EXCURSIONS.

A correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post says that 6O,OOO permanent set
tiers were added to the population of the
state of Washington last year through
the instrumentality of the "home-seek-
ers' excursions" of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railroads. The ac-
tual movement was accomplished in
twelve weeks by running weekly excur-
sions, after several months of preliminary
work. There was liberal advertising by
the roads, whose agents were furnished
with literature for distribution to all in
quirers and instructed to bring out the
strong points respecting the territory
along their lines. The success which at
tended the excursions was most crafty

laid the foundation for largely increased
business for themselves. The new pop
ulation will be worth tens of thousands
of dollars to the roads each year, with
the value steadily increasing.

The South during the past few years
has had some immigration from among

have been well pleased and well re-

ductive, the climate delightful and the
people friendly and generous; and they
are writing to friends back at the old
homes telling them OF the advantages OF

EDUCATED WORKERS NEEDED.

In a speech before the North Caro-
lima State Bankers Association at Ashe-
VILE the other day, Mr.. Richard II. Ed
monds of Baltimore made a point of the
lack in the South of men with techni-
cal Quotations, competent to take charge
of the great work of material develop
ment that is going on in this section of
the country. "a few weeks ago." said
Mr.. Edmonds, three professorships in a
Virginia college, each paying 5000, were
vacant, and 500 learned men applied for
these positions. Had there been an equal
number OF vacancies requiring trained
skill in the management of some i'm
there have been ten applications from thor
oughly competent mem" Mr. Edmonds
did not answer the question, but left the
clear inference that there are not so
many as thirty competent men of the
class referred to in the whole South who
are out of employment. And the chances
are that the skilled workers. able to man
age important industries. receive in COM
rersation more than 5000 year
Mr.. Edmonds did not, of course, intend
to disparage the learning of the men COM
petent to teach Latin and Greek and
bellies lettres, but what he wished to bring
out was the fact that the South is in
want of more of the practical, rather than
the literary, sort of aducation. During the
past twenty years the South has made
most prodigious strides in material de-
velopment but her resources have been
only lightly touched. In her mountains
she has forty times as much coal SIS
Great Britain had before she ever put
pick into the ground, while her iron sup
ply is almost beyond computation. In
addition she has nearly half of the stand
ing timber in the United States, limitless
deposits of building stones and clays,
practical monopoly of cotton production,
and Oil veins that give promise of being
among the greatest in the world. With
her natural advantages If the South does
not rapidly push her way to the front
rank of manufacturing sections. it will
be her own fault.
The material advancement of the South
in the years to come, and the part which
her people must play in the building up
of their own section will be in proper
ton as they bend their energies TO pro-
vide their young men with the broadcast
technical education. More chronological
schools are wanted. The number of such
institutions in the South ia now extreme
ly limited. Georgia has one. 1t should
have at least another, situated at Sa-
vannah, for the benefit of the youth of
the Southern section of the state. AS the
Empire State of the South, Georgia ought
to take the lead in the establishment of
schools of technology. The money put
into such schools will be in the nature
of an investment that will pay large div
idends, in which the whole commonwealth
will share. This matter ought to have
the attention of the Legislature at its next
session. 1t is one of great public inter
est, and of broad public policy.

Titus, bugler in Company E, Fourteenth
United States Infantry" So ran the press
reports, and a little later when letters
began to arrive from the besieged and
those who had raised the siege, further
information came concerning the intrepid
young soldier says the Youths Compan-
ion. A recent letter to the Christian
Endeavor World from a comrade in his
company, tells something about the life
of this young hero.
He is a Christian YOUTH" the letter
says. When I joined the company, then

pray in his tent has a hard time of 1t
at first. Soldiers are quick to turn against
cant, to resent ostentatious piety and to
watch to see how a mans profession
squares with his performance. Titus had
stood this test by the time spoken of in
the letter, and was known for his real
worth.

for purity in thought, word and deed ="

In the camp Calvin Pearl Titus lived

that consistent life that gave his prayers
weight with God and men. When the
supreme test came he did not fail.
On Aug. ID, when the allies approached
the walls of Pekin. the Americans were
on the left flank, and by brilliant dash
came up to the foot of the wall, where
the large cannon on the walls could not
reach them.
Titus took rope in his teeth, and clam
bered up the wall while the cannon of
the allied armies pounded the masonry
to right and left to give him ali possible
protection. Then up the rope, which he
had made fast above, the American boy
climbed to the top, and soon the assault
ing armies were within, and marching
swiftly to the rescue of their imperiled
countrymen. Calvin Titus could fight as
we'll as he could pray.

THE TROUBLE AT GUAM.

Recent reports from Guam indicate an
unfortunate state of affairs there. The
natives. the Filipino prisoners and the
American marines are all out of temper
and some of the latter have proved in
subordinate. The cause of the whole
trouble seems TO be in the method of gov
eminent of the island. The Governor. a
captain in the navy has attempted to en-
force on the island the discipline of a
naval ship. The, Island is small, it is
true, but 1t is considerably larger than
any ship Capt Seaton Schroeder ever COM
manded or is likely to command; and the
population of the island is made up of
classes not In the least likely to conform

natives of Guam were accustomed to loll-
ing about in the shade and taking life
as 1t came, making no pretenses to thrift,
cleanliness or morality. Living in a hot

what they should eat or wherewithal they
should be clothed. All in the world there

the Governor of the island was superced-

finding irksome things for the natives to
do. because the things were in the line
of naval discipline.

including Gen. Pho del Pillar and other
leaders, were transferred to Guam and
inclosed in a compound surrounded with

1t is something of an oddity, in this
day OF asphalt and vitrified bricks, to
hear of a city of considerable size putting
down wooden pavements; yet that is what
the city of Springfield, Mass, is about
to do. 1t has made an appropriation of
$4,000 for a wooden block pavement to
be laid on one of the principal thorough
fares. The wood is to be subjected to
elaborate treatment'under pressure, which
it is supposed will give it great endur-
ance. The treatment is rather expensive,
hence Springfeld's wooden pavement will
cost more than an asphalt pavement of
the same area. and more than twice as
much as if bricks were used. There is
strong prejudice against asphalt In
Springfield, and the people regard vitri-
fled brick as an unmitigated atrocity,
hence the reversion to wood. II any city
has ever made success of wood paving,
the matter has passed out of mind. How
ever. Springfield is in New England and
New England prefers to buy experience
rather than have it of others.
