Red Wing, Jan. 17.-Much surprise has

that the eloquent DR.. Driver, recently Of
Red Wing and formerly OF Mankato, has
practically made failure as pastor of the
Peoples church In Chicago. It Is assert
ed that DR., Driver, who was one Of the
most liberal ministers of the Minnesota
Methodist conference, is altogether, too
orthodox for his fashionable Chicago con
gregation and that there has been a great
falling Off In membership.
The salary offered DR.. Driver when he
left this city for Chicago was $4,000 a
year. but it is stated that the congrega
ton has dwindled in the course of a few
months until he receives only $1.700. NJ.
DR.. Driver is one of the=best-known men
on the local platform, and besides being
a splendid orator, Is also n musical COM
poser and musician Of note. His prede-
cessors as pastors of the Peoples church,
DR.. Thomas and DR.. Frank Crane, were
anything but orthodox when viewed from
a Methodist standpoint, and it is not tic
be wondered at that a man like DR.. Driy-
er. with strong convictions notWithstand-
ing his liberality, should in a long run
fail to please the congregation that as

guests was Judge Martin 1. Knapp, chair

ject of trusts, said In part:
To-day the great enterprises of the
world are in the hands of corporations,
and the time Is fast approaching when
they will absorb all important undertake
ings. The legitimate, the inevitable OFF,
spring Of corporations, is monopoly.
Why? Simply because the operation of
grinding upon each other in every mar
ket Of the world-begets an extremity of
mutual danger which always invites and
often compels common agreement as
to prices and production. That is a
trust: 49, -. -

period of great transition, period OF
difficulty and many dangers.
