Who Can controvert this Picture?

Who Can Controvert this Picture?
1.-THE monopolis are here and they
are growing; the republicans are at
sea; the leaders of the party raised
to power by trust contributions, are
impotent to do anything. They dare
not enforce the criminal law against
trust magnets: they dare not offend
manufacturers swho have both money
andpower. to coerce voters. The repub-
licans have talked about publicity, but
they have allowed six years to go by
without even trying that remedy.
Now, the president suggests still
more remote remedy. Without evi
dence he assumes that congress is
powerless to apply an effective reme-
edy and proposes an amendment
which requires, first, two-thirds OF
both houses; second, three-fourthS OF
the states; and third, a federal statute
carrying out the new amendment.
Why thus postpone action for an in
definite period unless tits certain that
present power is exhausted? Why
not enforce the criminal law now on
the statute book? If they refuse to
enforce that, are they likely to en-
force some future law? If the repub-
licans will not enforce remedies al
ready permitted by the constitution
are they likely to enact legislation tn
be authorized by some future amend.

To Aid the Striking Miners.

There is being started a novelty
sale that is expected to be of great
assistance to the striking anthracite
miners, in that it will provide them
with additions to their emergency
fund. Frank Davis of Cherokee has
evolved stick pin from a small piece
of hard coal, with an imitation
diamond setting, that can be put on
the market at very small price. He
has corresponded with various manu-
facturers. and it is the intention to
manufacture a great number of these
and place them upon the market ev.
erywhere, especially at street fairs.
The receipts from the sale, except the
cost of manufacture, are to be turned
over to the striking miners. 1t is the
intention to make arrangements in ev.
cry city with the municipal govern
ment and the labor unions to look
after the statesmen and see that the
goods are properly placed on the mar
ket and the funds collected turned
over to the heads of the union to be
RENTED.

when Mansf,e1d was a Boy.

A somewhat noted singer who was
q pupil of Mansfeld's mother says that
she recognized the peculiar recitative
which the actor interpolated in the
balcony scene of "Cyrano" as some
thing that Dick, as she called him,
used to do years ago before he went
on the stage and was still a clerk at
Jordan, Marsh & Co.'s, Boston. "He
used 10 have kind of reception al
most every Saturday night" she SAID,
"and each of us would do some little
of the general entertaining, but the
evening almost always ended in i'm
promptu opera being given by Dick
and his mother. She would sit down
af the piano and begin an aria, and he
would answer, each making up the
words to the music which madam In
provised. The idea was wonderfully
clever and showed clearly the genius
and poetieal temperament Of Richard
Mansfield and his gifted mother"
