complishing his ambition. He
has no time to let his ambition
cool, but strives ON and on until
he has attained his aim. Glanc.
ing over the paths of life he sees
many who gave promise of great
things, but who are now facing
failure.
What causes ones ambition to
cool? Many reasons may be as.
signed-chief among them are
lack of energy to carry out ones
plans. Perhaps the most insidi.
Gus foe of ambition is bad lite1a.
ture. Unwholesome reading has
been directly responsible for the
creating of wrong ambitions and
low ideals in. many young men.
The book which does not leave
the mind in as good or better con-
dition as when you began reading
it, should be avoided.
We all know young people who
started out in life with lofty aspir-
atoms and plenty of ambition
but who gradually let their ambi-
ton cool and before they knew
it they were among the throng
who have failed.
There are many examples which
might be cited to prove that adj
versity is no bar to the fulfilling
of ones ambition; that it is never
too late to strive to become man
among men. r. II.

Ambition.

There can be no doubt but what
all people, in the youthful years OF
life, are ambitious to attain a
prominent place in the world; they
start forth with lofty aims; and
while some are, successful, others
are failures. The close observer
will note that many men are de-
void of ambition; they wander
/ along llfe's pathway with no def
mite aim. Again, many men and
women, too, have had the spark of
ambition kindled by the reading
of good book or by receiving a
kind word of encouragement.
We read of life's tragedies and
sympathize with those who have
allowed ambition to die within
them? What Is sadder than the
death of ambition? When a mans
ambition begins to fade away
there is something wrong; either
he is victim to dissipation, poor
health or encouragement.
Everyone should have a noble
aim in life. If one has pursued
the path edged with thorns and
dissipation, finds himself victim
to the inevitable consequences of
such life, Just turn to, the right
and strive to become man among
men. When stimulated by a
noble purpose the chances are that
his ambition will be fulfilled.
Look at the young people leav-
ing college full of hope, optimism,
high ideals and lofty ambitions.
This life is full of promise to &C.
complish great things. They have
had the best of training. Their
surroundings, while at college, are
above the average. Therefore,
their standards and ideals are of
the highest. Full of ambition
they leave college to battle with
the world and to>accomplish their
aims. A few years roll by; many
are on the road to success; the ma
jority, however, are but empty
shadows of what they promised to
be- Look at the man struggling
with adversely or poverty; he. is
determined to rise above his en-
vironments. He has ambition and
energy; with little encourage
ment he struggles on. against
overwhelming odds, gradually &C.

as we'll as giving directions under
which such actions may be insti-
tuted and the powers of the court.
The fact that such large combi-
nations of interests are allowed to
impose upon the public, is not be-
cause we have no laws affecting
them, but for the fact that we
make laws and then lay them away
in a safe place SO as not to lose
them. What We need in our
country are fewer laws and then
enforce them, to the big and little,
rich and poor alike.
In summary of the antitrust
law passed by tine different states
I noted that in sixteen of our
states it is a criminal conspiracy
for two or more persons to agree
to regulate the price or quantity of
any dIGlClS HAL uIdCCulOo, HIu0u,
produced or sold, while in six
states it is crime for two or more
persons to enter into any agree
ment, whereby full and free COM
petition in production and sale is
prevented. In four states it is a
crime for two or more persons to
attempt to monopolize. In two
states legislation has been passed
STIMULATING that two or more per-
sons are guilty Of conspiracy if
they agree to suspend or cease the
sale of manufactured products, or
if they agree that the profits of any
manufacture or sale shall be made
a common fund to be divided
among them, or If they settle the
price of any article among them,
or between themselves and Others
In New York and one or two other
states it is crime to enter into
any contract whereby competition
in the supply, or price of any arti-
Gle, in common use for support of
life, may be restrained or prevent
ed, for the purpose of advancing
prices. | do not believe that we
lack laws to prevent com binations
of capital from destroying compe-
tition which is to the public's in
terests. What we have lacked
were men who would dare enter
the arena and battle with the cor
porations.
Much has been said Of late re-
garding campaign funds furnished
by the so-called trusts. While this
is no place for entering into dis
cussion on this point, yet it is we'll
to remember that when a trust
throws a good sized pile in the
campaign collection box, it is not
for the purpose of promoting GER
tain principles, but to establish an
obligation upon the party that
comes into power for the protec-
tion of its own interests.
Personally I believe in large ag-
gregations of capital as much as I
do in organized labor. In fact
one makes the other essential, but
when organized or combined capt.
tai secures such a hold upon trade
or commerce, then we as a nation
must seek to remedy or control the
trust. G.. L. G.

the WOrO. L OTIuudtoly VIC C"ii q
large aggregation of capital and
interests trust, but such is not al
WAYS the case. Many of the large
so.called trusts which have been
engaging the public mind for some
time past, are only monopolies, or
trusts in convenient sense OF the
word.
A monopoly in its truest light
means the possession by an lndl-
vidual, or number of individuals,
of the exclusive privilege of sup
plying some public need. Such
monopolies are legalized by both
our Federal and State laws. Our
patent and copyright laws grant
exclusive privileges to those who
comply with the laws. A railway
may be a monopoly so far as it's
traffic is concerned, providing
there is no competing line; hence
most of our street car lines are
monopolies for the reason that
competition is impossible under
the terms of their agreements
with the town or city in which
they are operating. There is a
vast difference between a monopo-
ly and a trust. yet we naturally
assume them to be the same. A
monopoly has or possesses it's
exclusive privileges by right, while
a trust has or possesses its exclu-
sive privileges by force; i. e., by
destroying competition.
We as a people have little to
fear from monopolles; but when
monopolies combine with monop-
olies, forming trust. so to speak,
then public interests must demand
that such consolidation be checked.
1t is we'll to bear in mind that
every citizen of our country has a
right to engage in any lawful bus
mess, subject to the conditions
imposed by law; hence these laws
are such that a man with a few
thousand dollars could (if these
laws were enforced) compete sue
cessfully with the man of millions.
During the last few years there
have been large combinations of
trade and capital, the object of
which was for the purpose of con-
trolling and profitably managing
some particular branch of business
previously carried on by several
and perhaps many competing
companies. The question is, have
these com blnations been beneficial
to the public at large; and if not,
have such combinations been
made within the law or not?
will not touch upon what has
been and is now being done to
check the growth and power of some
of our largest trusts, because feel
that you are all familiar with the
late actions in this direction; but
[ will try and touch briefly on
some of the federal and state laws
intended to regulate trade and cap
ital.
In an act passed by the senate
and house of representatives at
Washington, July End, 1890, it sets
forth, that every contract, combi-
nation in the form of a trust or
otherwise, or conspiracy in the re-
straint of trade or commerce among
the several states or with foreign
countries is declared illegal. 1t
also provides that any person max
ing such a contract, or engaging
in any com bination or conspiracy
shall be deemed guilty Of INSIDE
meanor, and on conviction shall
be punished by Imprisonment or
fine at the discretion of the court.
This same act also gives the sew

States Jurisdiction to prevent and
