become intolerable and will result in
governmental interference. This may
be fair view of it. The concentration
of power in a few hands is unques-
tionably. one Of the factors for good
or evil in the development of our
country that will have to be taken
more into account as the years pass,
and political issues of the coming dec
ade may possibly form about this
great question.
At this time there is little to show
that the existing conditions Of affairs
has worked serious harm to the coun-
try or any great hardship upon the
people, but it is clear that any COM
bination Of two dozen men controlling
eleven billions Of dollars constitutes
concentration Of power in the bust
ness world that will bear watching.

WILL BEAR WATCHING,


The concentration of wealth in
America has been the subject Of much
discussion of late. and many and wide
ly variant have been the views ex-
pressed as to the ultimate effects of
the increasing tendency towards COM
bination and cooperation on the part
of the railroad and great financial in
situations. In our country, whers there
lis no governmental bank as sinsEng
land for instance, there is no one .insti-
tuition that can properly be designated
| as the central dominant power in
American finance; nevertheless: there
are institutions in the United States
that without governmental influence
and in. operation purely as business
affairs of a private nature, control so
much wealth as to make them outrank
some of the greatest European insti-
| tutions. - /
| The Wall Street Journal has recent
| ly been looking into the directorate
! of the National City Bank of New
York. one Of the greatest centers OF
! financial concentration of power in the
country, though by no means the only
one. 1t is found that this bank has
twenty four directors who are also di-
rectors in 357 other banks. trust COM
| panies, insurance companies, railroads
industrial or mercantile corporations
The combined assets Of the banks
and insurance companies, and the
railroad and industrial capitalization
SO represented, aggregates the stu
pendous total of $11,040,000,000. The
group of men who sit around the di-
| rectors' board of this bank therefore
/ control directly or indirectly a finan-
cial power, probably greater than any
ever welded by a group of two dozer
1 men in the worlds history.
There is food for deep thought in
this. The Nsocialistic reader Will see ir

has deemed it best to maintain friend
ly terms with our government while
his representatives, like Paul Lassar,
his minister at Picking, and others,
have repeatedly said bitter things
against this country. He takes pleas
ure in reminding the world that the
first Hague conference was convened
under his leadership. This is true, but
the car took no interest in the arbi-
tration tribunal resulting from that
conference, and has been on the war
path ever since. His signing Of the ar

little doubt that he is sorry that he
ever let the war party drag him into
the costly war I'M the east. The out

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


President Roosevelt's annual mes
sage sent to congress today is a
strong, virile, lucid, STRAIGHTFORWARD
discussion of economic questions and
governmental policies. 1t shows be-
You'd question that Theodore Roose-
welt is still his own man and that all
suspicious engendered during the re-
cent campaign that he had surrend-
cred to the trusts in consideration OF
party's 'exchequer were groundless.
The president discusses the labor
question with candor and wisdom and
both capital and labor can profit by
needing his advice. So far as the
government is concerned, the presi
ident declares that the "open shop"
will be maintained, as this is gov
eminent Of all the people, and no dis
elimination can be made for or against
any class Of citizens. The right OF
the workingman to refuse to work
for any employer is conceded, but the
president denies his right to prevent
any other man from working for
whomsoever he pleases.
The president promises that the
2. great combinations in restraint of
trade will be made to obey the laws,
but he says in effect that the govern
ment will not run amuck" in an ill
considered warfare upon the trusts.
e. Congress is strongly urged to so
amend the interstate commerce law as
to give the interstate commission the
power to abrogate unreasonable
rates and to fix new rates
stand pending appeal to the
courts by the transportation company
concerned. Under the present law the
commission can, declare a freight rate
unreasonable and order it's modifica-
ton, but it has no power to enforce its
order If a freight rate is declared
unreasonable by the United States su-
preme court after years Of litigation,
the transportation company can make
merely a fractional reduction in the
rate and it can not be changed except
by another tedious suit
The message reiterates and en-
phasizes the well known views Of the
president on irrigation, the public
lands, immigration, naturalization
frauds, the army, the navy, pensions
the Philippines, our foreign policy and
other public questions. On the whole
1t is clear, fOrceful, statesmanlike
message, and in it's main features IL
will meet the approval of all patriotic
Americans.

At last the Mcbride Boxers" and
the Holy Rollers" have reached a
basis of harmony. Both factions
favor Sweeny for United States sena-
tor. Sweeny supported Mcbride for
governor, and, as delegate to the re-
publican national convention, he votnl
for Senator Ankeny as national COM
mitteeman for this state. He seems to
be acceptable all around, and his abil-
ity and readiness to put up big
campaign fund out Of his millions will
not detract from his popularity.

Just how Skamania county is inter-

The supporters of Senator Ankeny
who desire to see him given second

Sweeny for Fosters seat in the senate.
The interest tyro in politics knows that
the west side having two-thirds OF the
membership of the legislature will
not stand for the giving Of both Unit

any great length Of time. If Sweeny
is elected to succeed Foster, a west

RUSSIA AND PEACE CONFERENCE

Our state department has received,
through Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, the reply of his govern
ment to the invitation sent to the
powers that signed the international
agreement reached by the peace con-
ference at The Hague in 1890. to par
ticipate in a second conference. The
car very politely avows his recogni-
ton of the worthy character and OBJ
ject of a second conference, but de-
clines, because he does not consider
the time opportune for such confer
ence, and would prefer to wait until
the present fierce war is ended. Count
Cassini was instructed by his govern
ment to say that Russia gladly assoc
ciated herself with our government in
the effort to complete the mission Of
the first great assemly convened
under the leadership of the Russian
emperor The invitations have met
with favorable responses except in
the case of Russia, and Japan is yet
to be heard from.
1t would undoubtedly be somewhat
embarrassing for either Russia or
Japan to participate in the conference,
as they are fighting to finish one of
the most savage and relentless wars
on record. The conflict, however, has

sity Of amending the laws of war,

SALE OF LOTS A
MARKED SUCCESS
lvANHoE, BEAUTIFUL RESIDENCE
SUBURB, ATTRACTS MANY PEo-
PLE-BuiLDINo LOTS IN GREAT
DEMANp-sALE CONTINUES.

Many out of town purchasers attended
the sale of lots at Ivanhoe. the new
residence suburb yesterday
Fifty-hve of the two hr dred and three
lots advertised were soh. ranging In price
from 500 to s165.
Although lots were advertised as low
as SIS, those sold yesterday were to par
ties who apparently recognized the value
Of location and only choice and the high
est priced lots were therefore disposed
of.
Speaking of the sale yesterday. Mr.. w.
IA. Tharpe, of W. II. Tharpe & Co., who
conducted the sale, said:
THE sale of lots yesterday was one Of
the largest and most successful in Bir-
mingham for years. 1t demonstrates
clearly the fact that real estate values
are on the increase. 1t also indicates that
there is strong and healthy demand for
property of any character where there
is value to 1t.
while a majority of the lots were
sold to Birmingham parties" continued
Mr.. Tharpe, "a large number were sold
to people in other sections of the state,
who either came to Birmingham or sent
representatives to buy for them. Most
of the lots sold were to parties desiring
them for building homes, although a few
were bought for speculation. There has
been some little talk of a slump In real
estate values in Birmingham. but yester-
days sale refutes any such idea
Ivanhoe is situated five miles from
Birmingham, and one and a half miles
from Ensley. on the North Ensley line.
1t is said to be one OF the most desir-
able locations for suburban homes in the
Birmingham section.
The company owning this subdivision
offers its lots at prices ranging from $75
to $i50-$5 cash and s. per month until
paid for. no interest charged and no
taxes to be paid
The company states that no lots will be
sold after today except at advanced
prices.
The sale will continue today. free cars
