The Root of the Tree.
1m The Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
One Of the characteristic Commoner
walls has come on schedule time,
apropos Of the crusade against monop-
Giles, so called. Here is part of it:
Mr.. Knox is trying to cut of a few
branches, but he does not lay the axe
to the root of the trust tree
The trust tree has grown 10 enOr-
nous proportions. 1t has really be
come one of the biggest things on
earth. That which is not seen Of the
tree is about as imposing as 10 size
as that which is visible. The buried
branches bear a great resemblance to
the parts that grow above the ground.
They take a strong grip of the earth,
|enabling the tree to hold its OWN when
the fiercest storms are raging. With
life rather than death in mind, the
woodman clips and trims, keeping the
axe for final use. 1t is with the trusts
as with such groWths-their roots are
buried deep in the industrial soil OF the
nation. Visible proof of this is in evil
dence everywhere i'm factory and at
freside. The trusts have taken a conti-
mental grip. ramifying In all directions
and strengthening their hold upon the
vital Of the nation with the lapse OF
every hour. II is possible to imagine a
giant embodiment Of hostile law armed
with an axe and assailing, not the
branches, but the roots. The Common
er is an advocate Of entire extermina-
ton" 1t would have the Attorney
General perform the functions Of the
hostile giant-it would bring down the
tree with a crash. That the disaster
lwould be OF continental size affects it:
ldesire not in the least.

tongues and pray for his undoing.
How unspealable Is this degrade
tionl And how disgusting is that form
OF reasoning which allows respectable
business men and earnest members Of
the church to insist on rewarding
this corrupter Of men, Suppose we
could look into The heart of that man
who fed from Delaware TO hide his
shame and guilt, would there be one to
still insist on rewarding the criminal
who broke down his self-respect and
thwarted his innate honesty by Offering
a bribe? And, then, what must we
think when we are led to believe that
the blood money was never paid? Judas
betrayed his master for a few pieces
Of silver. and the world has made his
name q synonym for treachery, but
who tempted Judas. That is yet a
pertinent question.

FINES WERE DISCUSSED
Property Owners Complaining Of PEN
aties Imposed by Water De-
partment,

At the regular meeting of the Water
Commission yesterday afternoon theI
question of imposing fines on property
owners for turning water on without
the knowledge of the department, was
brought up and caused considerable dis
cussion. = s'ell-known real estate
holder was present at the meai.1g for
the purpose OF having a fine remitted.
He contended that the water was turned
on by the tenants of one of his houses
without his knowledge. The board,
however. was not inclined to remit the
fine. as it is a rule of the board TO inn
pose a psnalty Of S. for just such Of
fenses.
A communication from the Brandy
wine Library Association requested the
department to exempt the organization
from paying water rent, as it occupied
a building owned by the city. AS the
structure is not being used by the city
the board refused TO grant the request.

Tiber May Yield Rich Treasures.

If we may judge from the past.
says the London Daily Chronicle. the
Forthcoming dredging Of the Tiber
ought to yield some remarkable
hnds.' long time ago it was pro-
posed to divert the stream of the
river above Rome, so that excavations
might be made in the mud and slime.
and also in the solid earth that un-
derlies the present channel. The idea
was abandoned as too elaborate and
expensive, but in 1877 an effort was
made to give to the stream a uniform
depth of feet. The dredging invciv-
ed in this hardly penetrated more than.
3 feet below the bottom. IL did not
touch the lower strata Nevertheless
an enormous number CT antiques were
disinterred. Few Of these dated back
to classical times Coins were discov-
cred at the rate of $4,000 per annum,
but neary all belong to the last two
centuries. Some thousands of weapons
were also recovered. the witnesses to
the revolutions and political out
breaks of the last few hundred
years. The revolt of 1881 and the Ma
pcleonic wars supplied the majority ol
them
On only two occasions has the Tiber
been pierced to a depth of over thirty
feet-Once in constructing the Ponte
Garibaldi and once in repairing the
Ponte Sisto. The excavations made at
these times were confined to very
small area, but they brought to light
am enormous mass of of archaeology
cal material. The treasures comprised
coins. medals. sculptures, bronzes,
brasswOrk, inscribed stones and gems.
specimens of pottery, and also mar
bles. Among the last was a fine statue
in perfect condition except for the loss
of its arms. None of these objects
had suffered much from their entomb-
ment, which varied from 1900 to 1900
years. Iron alone is rusted and fin-
tally eaten away by the action OF water,

Stories From Here and There
His Clever Nephew.

A certain member of the stock ex-
change has set his nephew up in busi-
ness three times, but the young man
lacks something essential to success in
the line selected for him, and has
failed with each effort. Recently, when
he came with the fourth request for
financial assistance, the uncle demur-
red.
you must learn to lean on yourself" 4"
he said. Il can't carry you all your
life. 1t would be unkindness in me
to keep supplying you with money to
carry on enterprises that invariably
end in assignments. I'll tell you what
I'll do. Ycu CIVIC a great deal as the re-
suit of that last failure. Pitch in on
your own hook, and go it alone till you
pay of those debts. When you've done
that I'll give you a check for all they
amount to. Such an experience will do
mere good than all the money could
give you now"
Two months later the nephew walked
in with every claim receipted in full,
and the uncle was so delighted that he
gave the promised check.
Now that's something like it," he
said, land I'll wager you feel the bet
ter for the hard training. How did
you manage it, Dick?"

FREAKS OF FORTUNE

II is strange how kindly fortune OF
Ten smiles on those who find them
selves IN dire straights. Some time
since We read story Of a man up in
pennsylvania whose family was near
TO freezing for want Of fuel. He saw
a few pieces Of coal on his garden, and
imagining that they had been careless
lv dropped there, took his spade 50 dig
them out. Il resulted In his finding a
vein of coal sufficient to make him
rich.
Now comes the story Of New Jer-
sey farmer who was preparing to leave
his old home because of the foreclosure
OF a mortgage on the property. But ere
taking his departure he went into the
garden to dig up few roots his vile
wished for medical purposes. He thrust
his spade downward II struck some
thing hard, and when he had unearthed
Il. found a pot full of Spanish doub-
looms and pieces-of-eight. Some kindly
pirate hundreds of years ago had de-
posted the coin against the day OF
his necessity, just as a benehcent Prov
idence had laid down the coal for the
Pennsylvania man.
We know OF another man, an editor,
whose vitals were gnawed by hunger.
He, too, took spade and went into the
garden. and in digging he found-'what
do you suppose? Turnips. II fortuns
is sought from some strange and un-
known source. there are three elements
necessary to success: Dire necessity,
garden and q spade. The moral is OBJ
viousi If you want a thing so and dig
FOR it. The garden is oppogainity; the
spade is industry and necessity is the
spur.
