TRUSTS NOT IN DANGER.

Those who are watching the discus
sion of the trust question are no doubt
coming to the conclusion that trusts
are no longer in danger of being de-
stroyed. During the campaigns of 1896
1900 and, to a limited extent, the cam
paign of 1904. the attacks upon trusts
were so bitter that many no doubt
thought the time wasn't distant when
an indignant and much oppressed peo-
pie would rise UP in their might, as it
were, and snite them so vigorously
that they would all be dissolved into
the little corporations out of which
they were formed.
Now, however, we are being told
that they are necessary to the condi-
tions which prevail in the business
world of to-day. and that what is
needed is not their destruction, but
that they be wisely guided and direct
ed so as not to injure any other in
terest or Cypress the people. This is
virtually the position the President
took in his message to Congress, and
it is the position taken by the Com
missioner of the Bureau of Corpora
tions. 1t is the view also that is being
taken by some of the ablest and most
influential thinkers of the country. 1t
is worthy of notice that comparatively
little is now being said in favor of de-
stroying trusts. The discussion is all
in the direction of devising ways and
means for directing and controlling
them. Efforts are being made to dis
cover how the federal government can
be given power to supervise them, and
so control them that there will be no
determinations in their favor.
In the course of his address at the
New England dinner in Philadelphia
last Thursday night Chief Justice
Mitchell of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania said that mans ma
ture cannot be changed by stat
utes, that the people want
trusts and they will have them"
There We're trusts, he said in the Sec
ond century and we have them in the
twentieth century, expanded along
more diverse lines. More than six
hundred years ago the British Parlla-
ment undertook to wipe them out and
failed, and all the talk and legisla-
ton there has been against them in
the last dozen years have made no
impression upon them. They are still
doing business at the old stand, and
new ones are being formed all the time.
If this is a correct statement of the
situation the thing to do now is not
to continue the fight to destroy them,
but to bend all our energies towards
placing under proper guidance and
direction, so that they will cease to be
a menace to the welfare and interests
of the people.

Tuesday afternoon a good sized au-
dience lined the curbstone opposite the
Electric building and watched three
men in the third story of the afore-
said edifce holding a large pane of
plate glass that had broken and was
in an admirable position to fall down
upon the sidewalk as soon as the trio
was willing to let go.
Perhaps it was due to the vaudeville
atmosphere of Keith's theater, perhaps
it was just natural "curbstone" dia-
logue. but at all events a number of
amusing observations were made by
the interested spectators.
That's certainly a paneful situa-
ton" remarked one.
"Its a difficult problem to know what
to do with it, said another.
ooh, 1 don't know. anybody can see
through it," put in a third.
II hope there isn't a ball pitcher
among the three" said the first.
"Why?" asked an innocent bystand-
ar.
because he might get a glass arm
1 wonder if they'd like to sell the
pane?"
Yves, I bet they'd let anybody take
it off their hands cheap"
AZ guess it's a heavy glass"
mo, it's only light"
And the glass continued to hold the
attention and the trio continued to hold
the glass.

ed by the death a day or two ago of

which has elapsed since the Beecher

how he voted on the jury, nor express
ed an opinion in regard to the guilt or
innocence of Mr.. Beecher. After the
jury returned to the courtroom and re-
ported a disagreement it was discharg-
ed. The individual members were ask
ed for expressions of opinion in regard
to the case. None of the twelve men
would consent to say anything, and it
was learned that before the verdict
was brought in all had agreed never

WHO is A GENTLEMANY

We referred some days ago to the
decision by an English court that
schoolmaster could not be a gentle
man. An absurd statute. still pre-
served in the English code, provides
that a gentleman" shall have a high
er standing in the eyes of the law
than a 'tradesman," and that his oath
shall have greater weight. 1t was
held by the court that a schoolmaster
was a ''tradesman" because he work.
ed for his income, and that therefore
the schoolmaster occupied a third-rate
or fourth-rate position in the eye of
the law. The Judge took pains to
say that there was no intention on
the part of the court to reflect on the
moral character of the litigant i'm
question, but merely to hold that In
law, one might not be a gentleman,
whereas he might be one in every 9TH
er relation of life.
The whole thing seems ridiculous to
the intelligent American. In this
country we hold as gentlemen all those
who are gentle men," who regard the
sensibilities of others: who would not
willingly and knowingly wound the
feelings of those they come in con-
tact with: who would put themselves,
to inconvenience to be obliging and of
assistance; who never forget to be
deferential to women under all cir
cumstances; who are clean of person
and thought snd action, and against
whom no breath of reproach can be
brought. In short, in America gen
tleman" means an upright, honest man
who strives to do right and live up
TO the golden rule.
But in England they have a different
idea. 1t was Carlyle we believe, who
described a gentleman as "A man who
keeps a gig" Another Englishman
said that a gentleman was one who
wears Sunday clothes on weekdays. !"
The English law, It seems, defines
gentleman-possibly not in so many
words, but in effect--as a man who
doesn't have TO work for his living, but
who has an Independent income how
ever, small. Thus j. p. Morgan, who
goes 20 his office and works, would
not be regarded as a gentleman I'M
der the English law although his
income were a thousand times great
or than that OF some "nanneled fool"
OF the leisure class.

The Diver. Gratitude.

"A few years ago I was in Little
Rock, Ark, selling goods for a Chi
eago house" said a Seattle real estate
man day or two ago, says an ex-
change. Il made that city my head
quarters and ran out through the state.
One day l started TO make a trip with
several big trunks of samples. The
negro expressman was such a good
nutured, accommodating fellow that /
took liking to him. l bought a twen-
ty-four hour accident ticket, according
to my custom, but before the train
started l met a man l wanted to do
some business with and 1 decided TO
stay.
LAS I started to leave the station 1
saw my expressman talking to a ne
gro woman and as I passed him he
said
-" My ole woman is goin' on de same
train wild you, boss
I'm not going 1 said, so I'll just
give your wife this accident ticket
9 What's dat fur?'
" Why, If your wife is crippled in an
accident she will get money, according
to how badly she is hurt. and if she
is killed you will get $1,000
THE couple seemed much pleased
at the investment and I went away
and forget it. In the evening learned

persons had been killed. After dinner
l was sitting in front of the hotel
when my eXpreSsman came along look

saw me he came forward and ask
ed:
" BE you de gemman I hauled

said, offering him my hand. She was

must have been a good wife,
