THOUGHT MUST BE TAKEN
FOR COUNTRYS FUTURE

50 it is fer the future more than for
the present that the wisdom Of our leg
islators IS called upon TO take thought
And, Mr.. President, the condition Of tLat
country Is unhappy whose legislator does
nor take thought for the future even
more than for the present. Happy is
the people whose statesmen foresce and
prevent grievances. instead of waiting
10 experience them 10 cure them. In
dealing with this trust problem and thu

to lay down beforehand the law OF

Yet 1 wish TO submit 10 the 5udeuenr
OF the Senate that We are dealing with
q real peril and not with d fancied or
imaginary danger. Mr. Webster pre-
dicted in 1870 that the law in France
that provided for the division OF lands
among all the children, instead of pri-
mogeniture. would overthrow the French
monarchy. he lived TO congratulate
himself that ne had seen the prediction
fulfilled. Now. il the accumulation Of

We and cur successors VIII have a large

ed by iagIe hands or single corpora
tions. Your legislation must control
both.
There has not been. so far as I
know. any correct definition of the word
trust which has Of late come tnto a
common, although a new use. Bat we
know very well in general what we ,Iean
Ivy it. We mean, I suppose, "a conbina-
tior or aggregation of individual manu-
facturcrs, or Of separate corporations,
formed for the purpose Of breaking down
all competition by unlawful or improp-
er means, and Of monopolizing manu-
facture or other ferns OF production or
trade in cases where competition is
healthy and desirable for the public.
When We speak of these things as TN
lawful, We do not necessarily mean that
they are criminal or prohibited.
Il have NJ sympathy with any attack
on wealth honorably acquired and law
fully used. I have no dislike for great
corporate powers. think. in general
it is better that they be welded " pri-
yate and individual combination than by
the Government. They are necessary to
national greatness.
SOCIALISM CANNOT APPLY
TO REMEDY PRESENT EVILS
What is called socialism. Mr.. Presf-
dent. will never cure or prevent the
evil I have described. That. also, viii
be destructive of the great principle OF
emulation and individual excellence The
socialist. whether he be a dreamer In
some college hall, or some idle and
restless agitator. fails to take into &C
count one important and essential thing
in making his calculation: that is, hu-
man nature. Socialism may do for China
or for Turkey, but it will never be d
Yankee remedy.
If the Government is to own the coal.
it must by the same reasoning, when
the times are hard, take possession Of
the manufacture OF shoes. Of wooden
cloth, and Of cotton: and on the same
principle it must take possession Of
other manufacture and trade on which
men are depending for any necessary of
life, The men who ask for wages will
have the same desire and the same right
to an increase Of their wages. and 10
better their condition. But then the diff
dcuIty viii be that in every election the
question Of wages and Of hours and OF
convenient conditions will become poIiti-
cal questions, and the men who aspire
to political power will seek to win the
support of the wage-earners on the IS
sue of fixing their wages
But the evil Of holding lands in mort
main by Incorporated persons was not
merely the aggregation Of great estates
in single hands, but also that these
estates were never. in the course Of law,
brought under public authority for set
tiemeut. as in the case Of Inheritance.
or Of the personal property of ordinary
subjects. This latter evil and danger
exists here today in the case Of every
powerful and wealthy corporation. The
corporation does not die There IS no
power in this country strong enough
to deal with them, save the national
power alone. We have many such cor
poratons more powerful than many sin
gle States, and more powerful than
many countries now existing. Their
powers are imperial within their own
domain, and their domain is imperial
also. We, and We alone. can subject
them to imperial restraints.

GOT THE BRIDES eARTERs.
Eight Fair Ones Giaddened by the
Lucky TaIisman,

The fashionable Riverside. Drive
district is tittering over the original.
ity of young bride last week, whose
gifts to her eight bridesmaids were
garters. Each girl received a single
garter. The bride was deep in ar.
rangements before the wedding, when
one of the Danish servants told her OF
popular superstition in her native
land. The maid said the very essence
of good luck, both for bride and
briesmaid, might be accomplished by
the bride giving the left garter to her
attendant after the wedding cere-
mony. The Riverside Drive belle
thought the superstition delightful,
and being somewhat "faddish," she
decided to try the Danish talisman.
But" cried the girl, Il have eight
bridesmaids and only one left garter."
This predicament she confided to her
fiance. blushing prettily as she spoke
the uncomfortable word. The man
solved the problem in a moment. He
told her to wear eight pairs of garters
for eight days, and on the wedding
day to wear all left eight garters. In
this way each bridesmaid might re-
ceive an acclimated garter, teeming
with good luck. The ceremony was
fourishing. and before the white
robed bride slipped into her going
away gown she called her faithful
bridesmaids to a retiring room
Girls" she said. here is your gift"
Then she unclasped eight left garters
that encircled her silk hose and each
girl received her talisman. A still
worse dilemma was when the ushers
asked the bridesmaids what their
bridal gifts were. They answered,
something lucky"
