A NEW "TRUST BUSTER"

The general public will approve vast
ly DIR. Darlington of the New York City
health department. The doctor. investi-
gated rumors of an alleged combina-
tion of the producers of the anti-toXin

that sucn combination existed with a
view TO doubling the price and profits
on this specific. which is veritable
life saver in common and excessively
dangerous disease. He went to the
producers and charged them with be-
ing parties TO an evil trust to set an
arbitrary price on an article which TO
the consumer is matter of literal life
or DEATH They asked him what he
was going to do about it. Then DR..
Darlington showed them
New York City makes its own anti
toxin. and sells its surplus. Darlington
proposes to double and treble the
capacity of the, city plant and sell the
product at cost. from New York to
San Francisco. : Threatened with
q
an investigation OF the legality of his
proposition he rejoined that the neces-
sites of the roor are higher law than
any in the, statutes
1t is to be hoped that DIR. Darlington
will be able TO enforce his higher
law He is fundamentally right The
necessities of the poor in matters like
the one, over which the difficulty has
arisen in New York are higher than
ordinances or statutes. Protection OF
human life is a higher necessity than
protection of business profit. "A combi-
nation which denies the poor a specific
remedy against fatal disease is GRIM

may seem revolutionary. but 1t is ele-
mentally true. Necessity is the high

ture of which may properly be monop-

HANGER 70 AMERICAN MARKETS.

The United States consul general at
I Berlin sounds note of alarm to AM
erican cotton growers in a detailed re-
port OF the successful efforts OF foreign
countries to stimulate cotton growing
in their colonial possessions. In Eng

ports the arrival of a sample shipment
OF thirty tons Of cotton from Lagos.
West Africa, which Is said to equal the
best American upland. Experiments
conducted by this association in Sierra

ressful. France also has a colonial
cotton association which is expert

sample approximately equal in grades

more active. and under the auspices OF

to be the other essential elements in
the problem. The high prices of AM
erIcan cotton which is practically a
world monopoly, are responsible for the
activity of which the consul general
gives warning.
Somewhat similar conditions affect
American wheat growing conditions.
In recent years there has been a large
increase in the total worlds consump-
ton OF wheat. YET this nation has not
maintained proporiionate rise in Its
exports. High prices. with frequent
sensational speculative advances, have
unquestionahly stimulated production
elsewhere to such an extent that the
foreign consumer has grown more in
dependent of America. In Argentina,
Canada, Australia. Russia, and many
pther places. the output has expanded
rapidly, and the United States has no
longer the same control of foreign
markets. This point is also shown
clearly in comparison of the exports

In the aggre gate. For instance the
Looker-On is told of one big railroad
company that allows certain employees
three lead pencils every two months,
and requires said employees. In sending
in for more pencils. to hand Herewith
the stubs of the used UP pencils. Also
another, company. so 1t said. requires
employees to return to the supply office

company has repaired. so to speak. and
sends them out again. as good as new.
Some weeks ago the writer had occa-
sion TO ride in the same smoker on
one railroad eight or ten days, gong
UP and down the line. On the first trip
the Tin cup used at the water tank was
absent, so Ii was the next day, and
the third day. If one wanted a drink OF
water, he had to go into the rear car.
Askin the brakeman about 1t. came the
reply that he had sent in for one ten

pot agent told the writer he was fifteen

cannot get cars. Meanwhile much OF
the hay is being hauled TO another

can be had for the asking.
1, Is question whether railroad
companies frequently are not as short
sighted in business transactions as
private individuals. A few weeks ago
the writer heard this story: The rail-
road company wanted 10 economic. so
they took away the agent, who was
also the telegraph operator. from the
little town and depot, and hired grain
man to attend to what lit
