Sherman law was found TO be inadequate to
arrest the extortions OF the sugar trust be-
cause It is not engaged In interstate traffic
but in local manufacture. It was seen that
congress must go further and in a measure
encroach upon the state function by taking
control Of any local institution which in its
final relation. directly or indirectly, affects
the people OF several States. The speech Of
Attorney General Knox, published in yes
terday's Post, is quite Illuminating on this
phase OF the subject Hardly any democrat
Of today will resist this further exercise of
Federal power.
Whether the New York proposal Is con.
stitutional or not is not now the question.
Possibly a constitutional amendment may
be required. Many Of the proposed trust
remedies raise constitutional doubts. If we
can't stop the trust evil without changing
the constitution, then we must change the
constitution.
The Post believes that the implied powers
Of sovereignty are ample without constitu-
uonal amendment to regulate the trusts OF
even TO seize coal mines as a measure of
emergency and National necessity. It IS
TO be hoped that no such desperate measure
will be required, but II the people can not
be assured OF a plentiful and cheap supply
Of coal in any other way, or II the coal trust
can not be otherwise brought to book, then
The Post Is prepared to endure with
eQuanimity this far-reaching exercise Of
National sovereignty. II Is phase Of social
ism, of course. as is every act OF a munich
pality or q State in doing any thing that
private individuals might do.
We are a long way from the government
Of Jefferson. but in deciding matters ac-
consider not only what Mr.. jefferson said
and did but try to project his view to
present conditions--that is to say. endeavor
TO decide what Mr.. Jefferson would do under
these circumstances. Besides. we might
ask ourselves without disrespect to the
memory of the fathers, whether all the
political wisdom Of the earth died with
Washington and jefferson.
Many of the Chronicles notions were up
set forty years ago. But back OF all that
as early as 1906. the congress- found it
necessary to undertake the building OF a
dirt road from Maryland to Ohio, but the
invention OF steam and the private construc-
tion OF railroads caused the project to be
abandoned IN that day the development Of
rivers and harbors was matter of very
serious debate But from the beginning the
government has finally done what it became
necessary to do for the general welfare, and
there is no reason to doubt that It will do so
In this instance
Besides all this. public sentiment has un-
dergono a radical change on the whole
question. as the Chronicle may discover by
reading something more than the telegraph
columns Of its exchanges-reading with it's
thinker as well as It's shears. So conserya-

Wis. Friday night, in his assertion that the
tariff on anthracite coal was smueged in the

investigation OF the Congressional Record re-
veals that when the coal tariff amendment Of
tered by Senator Allison was proposed and be-
fore it was amended, several hours debate re-
suited Senator Jones, of Arkansas, and Sena-
tors Allen and Vest made vigorous speeches
against It, and it was passed by a strict party
vote, all the democrats in the senate voting
against it and not single republican.

Daily World. October ..
The democratic managers at the Hoffman
House were eated last night over news thar
a large quantity Of oder money, offered last
week for betting purposes, had been with.
drawn.
Fred H. Brooks, who acts as betting com
missioner for various Wall street men has
been covering all Golfer money at odds OF
to H. He announced ten days ago that he had
between $4,000 and 100000 to bet on Odell
at those odds
Mr.. Brooks said last night to World
reporter.
Il was given instructions last night not 70
bet another cent on Odell unless the coal
strike is settled These instructions came
from men down town for whom I have been
acting
Does that mean he was asked, chat the
entire amount Of $4,000 to 100000 which
you offered to bet on Odell last week has
been withdrawn "
Certainly" Mr.. Brooks replied. But an,
ready TO take the Coler end of any bets that
may be offered. | viii bet on Golfer Of odds
Of to sr-s II any one wants to take the
money"
Asked to give an opinion as to the present
odds on the gubernatorial contest IN this
State Mr.. Brooks said
In my judgment with the coal strike In
its present condition, the betting should be
at even money between Odell and Coler"
There has been little betting on the election
for several days Prior to the coal confer
enees at Senator Plaus office last week there
was any quantity of Odell money in sight,
and various bets OF $4,000 20 $1,000 were
recorded. But there was a scarcity Of Coler
money, those who we're willing to back the
democratic candidate holding out for better
odds, While they were doing this, however.
the betting friends OF the democratic norni-
nee were declaring privately that they did not
think the stuation warranted even as good as
TO on the republican candidate.
Now that the coal situation IS becoming
more acute every day. steady increase in
the amount Of Coler money is predicted II
the action Of the men represented BY Brooks
is followed today by others who have been
willing 10 bet on Odc an early change in
the betting odds is predicted,

lovely in the distance. 1t didn't matter
to me that the one broad street had but
one side to it; for the sea Tapped over the
sloping sands on the lower edge, and the
sun used to set right in the face of every
solitary citizen of Lahaina, just as he
went to supper.
Il was waiting TO catch passage in a
passing schooner, and that's why l came
there; but the schooner flashed by US
in a great gale from the south, and so l
was stormed in indefinitely.
1T was holy week, and 1 concluded to
go to housekeeping, because it would be
so nice to have my frugal meals in pri-
vate, to go to mass and vespers daily,
and then TO come back and feel quite al
home. Ny villa was suburban-built of
dried grasses on the model of hay
stack, dug out in the middle, with doors
and windows let into the four sides
thereof. 1t was planted in the midst of
with avenues stretching in ali
directions, under network of stems and
tendrils.
" Her breath is sweeter than the sweet
winds
That breathe over the grape-blossoms of
Lahaina,'
$50 the song said, and I began to
that breath as 1 inhaled the sweet winds
of Lahaina while the wilderness Of its
blossomed like the rose. 1
used to sit in my veranda and turn to
Joe Joe was my private and confidential
and 1 would say to Joe, while
we scented the odor of grape, and saw
the great banana leaves waving their
cambria sails, and heard the sea moan
ing in the melancholy distance-I would
say to him, Joe, housekeeping is good
fun, isn't it?' Whereupon Joe would
utter sort of unanimous Yes with his
whole body and soul; so that question
was carried triumphantly, and we would
relapse into a comfortable silence, Willie
the voices of the willy singers down on
the city front would whisper to US, and
cause US to wonder what they could pos
sibly be doing at that moment in the
broad way that led to destruction.
Then We would take a drink of cocoa
milk, and finish our bananas, and go to
bed, because we had nothing else to do.
This is the way that we began our CO.
operative housekeeping: One night, when
there was rioting sort of festival off
in retired valley, / saw in the excited
throng of natives who were going mad
over their national dance, a young face
that seemed to embody whole tropical
On another night, when a lot
Of us were bathing in the moonlight,
saw figure so fresh and joyous that I
began to realize how the old Kreeks
could worship mere physical beauty and
forget it's higher forms. Then 1 d;scov-
cred that face on this body-a rare
enough combinaticn-and the whole con-
stituted Joe, young scapegrace who
was schooling at Lahaina, under the eye
not a very sharp one-of his uncle.
When 1 got stormed in, and resolved on
for season, I took Joe,
or-bing his uncle to keep the peace,
which he promised to do, provided 1 gave
bonds for Joe's irreproachable conduct
while with me. 1 willingly gave bonds
verbal ones-for this was just what
wanted of Joe: namely, to instil into his
