How to See the Eclipse.

There will be a total eclipse OF
the moon by the earth's shadow
Thursday. Oct. I6, at about mid
night. 1t Is the first 10 be visible
10 this country in three years and
there will not be another for nearly
four years: To enjoy the eclipse
one SHOULD have a good looking
companion who Is not too scientific
and who will get drowsy sitting on
the front steps and droop her head
on your shoulder so so her ruby
lips come within two inches of
yours and her curls tickle your
neck. Then when she Is indignant
and shocked at what happens you
can pretend 10 be penitent. but
don't show too much grief.

CAN CONTROL TRUSTS
Attorney General Knox Thinks
Them Amenable to the
Common Law.
ALSO CONGRESS MAY LECISLA1E
Points Out the Evils Of Combinations,
but Asserts We Should Not Go Far
Enough IN Way Of Control to In.
lure Legitimate Business.

PlttSDurE, oct. 15.-Attorney Cen
eral Knox last night spoke before the
Pittsburg Chamber Of Commerce and
invited guests on trusts. He said in
part:
Portion Of knox's Speech.
That there are evils and abuses in trust
promotions, purposes, organizations,
methods, management and effects none
by those evils. That all or any of these
abuses are to be found in every organl-
cation called trust no one would assert
who valued his reputation for sane judg-
ment.
The conspicuous noxous features Of
trusts existent and possible are these:
DISQUALIFICATION, lack of publicity of OPP
GRAFTON, discrimination in prices TO destroy
competition Insufficient personal response
bllity Of officers and directora for cOrpor-
ate management, tendency ~ monopoly
and lack of appreciation in their manage
ment of their relations to the peo@le, for
whose benefit they are permitted to exist.
OyercapitaliZatiOn Is the chief of these
and the source from which the minor
ones flow. 1t is the possibility of over
capitalization that furnishes the tempta-
lions and opportunities for NOSE of the
others. OyercaptalZation does not mean
large capitalization or capitalization ade-
quate for the greatest undertakings 1t
Is the imposition upon an undertaking Of
liability without corresponding asset
to represent it. Therefore overcapitaliza-
ton is a fraud upon those who contribute
the real capital, either originally or by
purchase, and the efforts to realize divi
dends thereon from operations in fraud

public.

statue of General B. F. Butler, while
passing by Governor Hancock, Roger
Williams and other distinguished sons

be a grotesque and indecent bit of
laundering. for General Butler was no
great credit TO Massachusetts,, and his
place in history is not proud one

of Unfortunately abusing men,
living or dead, pays its compliments to
Buffers memory in the following
trenchant terms: -
General Butler was never in accord
with the traditions of Massachusetts
or the social and civic ideas upon
which her splendid history has been
upreared. He was self seeker, above
everything else, from the time he en-
tered public life until he quit it. He
was opposed in his early career to all
that Massachusetts most cherished.
The outbreak of the Civil War gave

opportunity to turn a sharp corner
