various fires, which being watched
vigilan.ly by citizens were promptly
put out. The fire was only about thir-
ty or forty feet from 4 row of business
buildings, all wood. and the wind was
blowing the fire directly toward them.
1t is believed that all that prevented
the entire business as we'll as much of
the residence part of town from being
destroyed was owing to the location OF
the gas light plant which is brick and
cement, standing only n short distance
from the tower and which broke the
force of the heat and flames.

fact, most any color other than yellow.
Yet in one sense this same yellow
color should render Rex doubly vaIu-
able Buff or orange yellow was the
original color of the English bulldog,
back in the days of good Queen Bess,
and down as late as the days when
Dickens wrote Of Bill Skies. Then. for
some reason, the yellow color became
unpopular, and breeders set about ell
minating the Objectionable hue, so that
for nearly a century the yellow bulldog
has been a thing unknown and for
gotten.
Yet in certain old-fashioned stock
raising districts of England, such as the
West Riding of Yorkshire, the primitive
buff yellow bulldog still exists, and con-

male boviness by the nose. Cattle are
extremely sensitive about the nose,
and a strong. courageous bulldog can
seize and hold refractory bovine for
any short length Of time until secured

move lest the pain to his sensitive nos
trils be increased by the sharp teeth of
the dog. Therefore. Rex who first saw
the light of day in the region where the
primitive bull dog is still to be found,

petion in trade, by the power of aggre-
gated capital, is no worse than the
crushing out of competition in labor by
the power Of abor unions. There is no
more reason why the Sherman-anti-
trust law should not be enforced against
labor. if it is guilty of violation. than
against capital. Labor claims equal
rights with capital 1t is entitled to
them; but it must accept equal respon-
sibility before the law for all its acts.
1t is thus seen that a new labor prob
lem has arisen in this country. 1t is
no longer a question how capital shall
be restrained from too great monopo-
listic power. That is now in progress
of solution. The question is, how the
labor unions shall be prevented from
developing into great trust with no.
nopolistic powers that would complete
ly drive out all comDetition.-Wall

A Two-EDGED SWORD.

That's What the Sherman Antitrust
Law is.
The labor organizations are them
selves responsible if the question of cap
ital and labor has changed in large de-
gree in the last few months. So long
as capital used its power to Cypress
labor. so long as it denied to labor the
right Of organization, so long as it used
it's power and the consuming public,
just so long did the sympathy and sup
port of the people go out to labor in its
contest with capital. The result has
been the enactment of many laws in the
interest of labor and for the restraint of
capital. Labor has been particularly
insistent that the antitrust laws should
be enacted, and 1t was largely as the
result of their agitation that the Sher-.
man antitrust law was passed by con-
gress. The enforcement of that law
against the Northern Securities Com
pany was a most signal defeat for cap
itaI in its movement toward combina-
ton Cor the elimination Of competition.
The Northern Securities decision has
blocked the way for further extension
of the field OF concentration of capital.
Moreover the craze for creating trusts
has largely died out, and some of the
big trusts that have been organized are
having hard struggle to maintain
dividends on watered stock ~
But while this has been going on,
while capital has suffered this defeat
another evolution has been in progress.
Flushed with victory. made arrogant
and unreasonable, by their new found
power the labor unions have themselves
started out, eon a scale never before at
tempted, to crush out competition. In
other words, the labor trusts" not the
capital trust" now appears before
the country as the most dangerous Of
combinations Labor has not hesitated
to copy the worst methods employed
by some of the trusts. and by boycotts
and coercion and physical intimidation,
1t has sought to prevent free labor from
having an opportunity for employment
in this country. 1t has even sought to
dictate to the United States govern
ment. holding that it could employ only
union labor. The President of the
United States, the same who enforced
the Sherman anti-trusts law against
the Northern Securities Co., has stern
ly refused to submit to the dictation of
the labor unions over the government
departments.
If the labor therefore, adopts the
methods of bad trusts, if it creates a
monopoly in restraint of competition, it
must not object if laws created to pre-
vent monopolies of capital in restraint
of competition in trade are turned
against itself. A law is valueless that
works only one way. A labor trust is
as bad as any other kind of trust could
possibly be. The crushing out Of COM

as form is concerned but exceedingly
"off color" In fact, Rex is what nova
days is very rarely seen in bulldogs, a
bright buff. or orange yellow, and his
color spells him as a show animal. The
fashionable color for modern bulldogs,
bull terriers, etc, is brindled black and
dun, with or without white spots; in
