Some days ago a negro bought n
money order of the Jacksonville post
office, made payable at Savannah, for
the amount of 81. He then raised this
amount to $40 and sent it to a firm in
this city, with an order for goods. The
order was presented at the Savannah
ONCE for payment in due time, but was
turned down because of the difference
in the amount of the order and the du-
phcate that had been forwarded from
Jacksonville, The matter was report
ed to jacksonville, and it was reported
yesterday that two negroes had been
arrested in that city. charged with be-
ing implicated in the attempted fraud.

permits the corporation Of one state TO
break the laws of every state except
its own. which very likely has granted
II powers not permissible within its own
territory.
Legislation Of this kind has been
urged by one of the leading corporation
lawyers Of the country, Mr.. James B.
Dill, who argued that the business of
the country demands uniform corporate
legislation and not sectional legislation,
state against state. He would have a
law applying to corporations along the
lines of the national banking act, not
a%bridging the powers of the state to
create local corporations, but affording
an opportunity TO organize corporations,
national in extent, whose business re-
lates to trade with foreign countries or
between states, with the protection Of
the national government against con-
ficting state legislation and local politi-
cal enactments. He believed that cor
porations now and hereafter organized
would avail themselves of a national

cial security and because no corporation
engaged in interstate commerce and de-
string to do business throughout the
length and breadth of the country could
afford to be other than a national or
ganization. That there is soundness in
this view we think will be generally
admitted.
The failure of the combinations thus
far TO suppress competition gives very
strong assurance that they will be I'M
not likely that the trusts will hereafter
find conditions more favorable to the
suppression of competition than they
have been. 1t is perhaps true that
some Of the evils of the trust system
can safely be left to correct themselves,
but in the meantime the question of
trust regulation and supervision, by
practicable methods that would not be
revolutionary in their operation, must
not be dismissed from consideration.
President Roosevelt in his Pittsburg adj
dress earnestly urged the necessity for
national legislation for the supervision
and regulation Of the corporations en-
gagged In interstate commerce, and this
subject should command, as it probably
will, the serious attention of congress
at the next session. The president has
pointed out the duty and the majority
in congress should find the way to it's
performance.

Thomas Buchanan Read.
Ancient road, that wind'st deserted
Through the level of the vale,
sweeping toward the crowded market
Like a stream without a sail.
Standing by thee, I look backward.
And, as in the light OF dreams,
See the years descend and vanish
Like thy whitely-tented teams.
Here I stroll along the village,
AS In youths departed morn;
But I miss the crowded coaches,
And the drivers bugle-horn-
Miss the crowd OF Jovial teamsters
Filling buckets at the wells,
With their wains from Conestoga,
And their orchestras of bells.
To the merry wayside tavern
Comes the noisy thronR no more
And the faded sign, complaining,
Swings unnoticed at the door.
While the old decreplt tollman,
Waiting for the few who pass,
Reads the melancholy story
In the thickly springing grass.
Ancient highway, thou art vanish'dg
The usurper OF the vale
Rolls in fiery, iron rattle,
Civilizations on the gale.
Thou art vanish'd and ,~neglectedt
But the good which thou hast done,
Though by man 1t be forgotten.
Shall be deathless as the sun.
Though neglected. gray and grassy,
Shall l pray that my decline
May be through as vernal valleys,
And as blest a calm as thine.
