Roosevelt and the Corporations.


The President was entirely right IN
declaring at Boston that his recon-
mendations as to federal control OF
corporations was neither revolution
airy nor hostile to property.
It sometimes happens that the most
vigorous regulations and restraint OF
business enterprise is the wisest con-
servatism. Taken in time, an evil
tendency may be checked to the ad-
vantage of all. Permitted to run Its
course, it may at length be met by
violence and radicalism which will in
volve the innocent as we'll as the
guilty in disaster.
In this respect Mr.. Roosevelts re-
marks at Boston recall one of his
predecessors suggestions relative to
the abuse of the protective tariff sys-
tenn. In his message to congress In
1887 Mr.. Cleveland recommended a
modification of the duties on imports
as a wise concession to the great
mass of the people which even the
interests that were most highly fav-
ored should be willing to grant as a
means of heading off movement
which in time might become radical,
unreasonable and destructive.
This appeal appears to have been in
vain. What will be the response OF
the corporate interests Of the country
to Mr. Roosevelt's temperate invita-
ton to them to accept the yoke of
federal restraint?

They Are Motto Blame.

The honest. business man is not to
blame for present, conditions. He is
not in the swim with the trust mil.
lionaires. The latter dictates to him
and he must pay the prices demanded
for goods. He in turn must get his
money out of the unfortunate consum.
ers or else fail in business. Many
business men are already being driv-
en- out of trade by the trusts.

DUTY OF CONGRESS
MUST DETERMINE THE FUTURE
OF THE Philippines.
Gov. Taft Speaks Without Authority
When He Undertakes to Tell the
FiIipinos What Their Future Status
Is to Be.

II Gov. Taft had any authority In
the premises his speech at Manila, in
the course of which he undertook to
tell the Filipinos what their political
future was to be, would have great
deal more interest and value to them
and to the American people as well.
Probably it is fortunate for all con-
cerned that neither Gov. Taft nor any
president whom he may represent is
clothed with power to make the final
adjustment at Manila. Under the con-
stitution, fully sustained by the SUI
preme court in recent cases, the peo'
pie of the United States represented
in congress are the sole masters of
the Philippines and the only authority
capable of determining their future.
Although urgently advised to do so,
congress has thus far failed to give
even a hint as to its policy. Such
legislation as it has enacted has been
tentative in character and without
much suggestion of permanency.
Gov. Taft says that in the course of
time the FilipinOs, when capable OF
self-government, will be given the
choice of colonial autonomy, like that
of Canada in the British empire, or of
complete independence, but he ad-
vises them to prepare themselves for
the former.
Assuming that he is voicing the
intentions of the present administra-
ton, the fact remains that the real
sovereign of the Philippines has not
yet spoken and that something better
than Canadianism or Filipinoism-to'
wit, genuine Americanism-may yet
be in store for the archipelago.

THINKING and GUESSING.

The play of some persons at whist
reminds enc of the following school
boy story: The teacher asked the boy
to name the capital of New York.
Said the boy, II guess 1t Is Albany"
And the teacher gave him a black
mark. Telling his mother OF this
when he got home. she said to him,
you were right; the teacher probably
gave you the black mark for saying
guess instead Of think" But" said
the boy, II wasn't thinking. was Just
guessing"

PEACH STONES FOR FUEL.
Have Been Utilized In Baltimore as
Substitute for Coal.


Substitute for Coal.
The great strike and the increased
cost of coal incident thereto has d.
rected much attention to other ma
terials for fuel, and Baltimore man
says a good substitute for the black
diamond is dried peach stones. The
only objection to their use is their
scarcity, which depends entirely on
the size of the peach crop. Frank Hall,
the Baltimorean referred to, says his
family had used peach stones as fuel
for years until about three or four
years ago, since which time the supply
has appeared to have decreased,
I'VE used to get the dried peach
stones from a Mr.. Noel, who got them
from the different packing-nouses and
dried them on his place." said Mr.
Hall yesterday. II think we paid $3.50
load for them, the load containing
about forty-five bushels. The ,fuefMas
used in the kitchen and gave good
results. The stones will make a quick,
hot fire and one that will last. One
and half or two buckets of the peach
stones will last as long as bucket Of
coal. One has to De careful not to fill
the stove too full or there will likely
be an explosion similar to a gasoline
explosion. The proper way to keep
the fire going is to put in shovelful
at time.
Peach stones thrown into a damp
cellar" said Mr.. Hail. ARE said to
have a peculiar effect on a person.
After the stones are in the cellar for
some time gases arise, and the fumes
will go to ones head and give the
same effect as If the distilled product
of the peach had been imbibed."

Mr.. RooseveIt's Trust Remedy.

Mr. Roosevelt's idea Of regulating

the Republican tariff remains in force.
We do not believe that the abolition
of ~the tariff will abolish the trusts.

trusts all the peculiar benefits Of leg
islation which they enjoy and put
them in competition with the trusts Of
other lands we take away from them
