A correspondent of the Electrical Re- view states that steel dies are used for drawing sizes of wire as fine asl o.010 inch diameter. diamond dies being used for finer sizes. The Roebling works in New Jersey draws a steel wire which is one-thousandth of an Inch in diame- ter and runs seventy miles to the pound The steel of which it is made costs $50 a ton, but a ton of the finish kd wire is worth over $so,000. This seens to be a ease of creating values.

Bryan's Remedy for the Trusts.

Savoyard, in Washington Post.
 MT; Bryan, In recent magazlne for the Trusts" and 1t might be effect ual If the common sense of the country would tolerate 1t for fifteen minutes. Another difficulty about 1t Is that 1t would substitute for our free country an unendurable despotism. If 1t should prove to be practical. it would not | only rid us of the trusts, but of the Constitution of the United States. It would throw the whole industrial sys- tenn of our people into chaos. The day of Its adoption financial America would l go into liquidation, rub out, and begin anew, to be in condition to look on with some degree of patience and a how the thing works before any money Is Ventured in it. It would recruit Coxey armies in every community of the labor of their hands
 Mir. Bryan's strong suit is not polit- ical philosophy; it is eloquence. He is not sage; he Is an orator. He is not thinker; he is talker. He is not statesman; he Is an agitator. He is
 half-fipished Sdf,t hi! x,oo9 Mira6Gsau. Wilkes pants, and with less impetuosity.
 He opens with a general assault on the trusts. and that is all right be- cause everybody is against the trusts. Then he makes an argument to show that there can be no good trusts as long as there are bad men, and brings in that muchworn illustration about monarchies and repuvhcs. He repu- diates the doctrine of Intelligent self than Mir. Rryan-notably, the late James c. Blaine-ascribe most of the credit for the progress civilization has made the past many centuries.
 Now there are folks wno hold that if there are no good trusts there will be good trusts as soon as demagogy is eliminated from politics and the greed of trust magnates is governed by their intelligence. They believe and they hope that intelligent selhshness will demonstrate the beneficence of combination by destroying competition with the weapon of cheapness and keep 1t destroyed by the same weapon. MT. Bryan dare not attack such a trust as that; He merely says that it is an impossibility. How does he know? Is he any surer of that than he was that the country would go to the dogs unless 1t adopted 16 to I? Mir Bryan has much to say yet to complete the demonstration that he is infallible

T read a splendid article the other day by Ella Wheeler Wilcox" said a magazine reader, "on President Roose- welt and his hunting expedition, and it pleased me very much. This brilliant woman took the President to task se- verely for the evil example he was laying before the youth of America in going out to slay beasts of the field and forest
 "She gave our strenuous President credit for all of his good characteris- tics, but she declared substantially that to be a gentleman a man must learn to be considerate of all living things, and that a man who killed mother bears and shed the blood of baby wolves had instincts of the animal in him and was consequently devoid of true greatness.
 "As read this article there came to my mind picture of a Montgomery man sitting up through all the hours of the night to administer to a sick horse. The dumb animal was petted and rubbed and given physic and his human and humane friend was happy when the horse showed unmistakable signs of gratitude. This man was big hearted Jack Cook, the city's superin- tendent of live stock, who loves all an- final nature as he loves all men.
 Its far cry from President Roose- welt to Jack Cook. but Ella Wheeler Wilcox thinks Jack Cook has more of humanity in him than the President, and perhaps she is right"

Chronic Kicker and the Weather.


 The Chronic Kicker saw the rain clouds gathering in the sky about noon yesterday when he had about decided to go to the ball game, and as a result chose the weather for his subject.
 '"The weather prophet that the Gov ernment has given to us in Montgom- cry is all right and it is seldom that his prophecies go wrong. but I have All I have to do to know whether 1t Is going to rain in Montgomery is to look at the Southern League Baseball schedule and see when the Montgom- cry team plays at home. It may rain in other places like 1t does here, but I don't believe 1t does rain with such unerring Judgment in spelling ball games.
 I'm a baseball fan and I like to see good game or a bad game just as much as anyone, but nothing in the world disgruntles me like a rain in the midst of a game except when the op- posing team Is about ten runs ahead of Montgomery and five innings have not been played.
 'one thing about this Montgomery weather proposition is the uncertainty of the duration of rain and the sun Is d quick recoverer on the diamond.
