LeDe1 At Which Society Shall Li1e

OF few? Is special privilege Remove special privilege and
you will prevent wealth concentration
The history Of the Standard Oil company is typical Of wealth
concentration by Of special privilege What have been some
the economic effects In addition concentrating wealth the
growth Of this has limited production and has therefore
vented the accumulation of much wealth would have been
cumuated had free competition existed The Standard vi company
has prevented the development Of oil fields that might retain
t monopoly and fix prices The Wyoming oil fields have not been
developed their wealth Of oil might destroy the Standard
Oil monopoly The Kansas oil fields not developed
until the Standard Oil company gave its consent When the fields
had been developed the trust by OF its monopoly OF ranspoa
tion and other facilities limited the production Of Kansas oil and
therefore prevented the accumulation Of oil wealth The fact that
Standard Oil able the price of oil did not increase the
of wealth in the world 1t is that if the production OF
oil had been free the price Of oil would have declined rapidly but
wealth would have increased Wealth be conounded with
price
The that wealth prevent the normal
accumulation of wealth The Standard Oil companys monopoly
nted to limit productions prevent competition and to fix the
price Of OIL production had been limited only by natural cond
ton there would have been competition and if there had been
petition there would have been monopoly and there had been
monopoly there would have been Capitalization of wealth. and
if there had been equitable distribution of wealth there would
have been equality of opportunity and there had been equality of
opportunity the Of human happiness and well being would have
been increased The price of oil would have been lower The
used to buy oil could have been spent something ee In
deed the money used products that monopozed
products be used under natural conditions for other things than
the necessities of life If there less money spent the
necessities of life and the uxes of life luxures
would be produced Civilization would advance rapidly 1t
would be easier obtain the necessities Of life and should
have the extremes of poverty and riches that exist when the title
wealth concentrated into the hands of power that fix the
level at which society shall live.
The dcm that the pilng up of wealth is important
be gainsad but when the dcm used argument in favor
Of wealth concentration becomes absurd because
of capital concentration of money power concentration Of
control whatever be used describe this phenomenon

 After this suddenly conceived coup he retraced his steps and rang again at the door of the Big Beacon Hill Man sion. The house was still brilliantly lighted; and, unconventional as he knew the proceeding to be-. he felt sure of pardon when Olivia realized that the lovers impetuosity and srdor had com pelled him to return and learn his fate.

 His heart leaped to his throat as Cummins threw open the drawing room door with a little more than his usual grandiloquent flourish.
 "Oh, it's all over. old boy" he heard as in a dream-followed by a cackle of laughter.
 Wentworth, beaming behind a row Of worries, like a Cheshire cat, stood on the hearth rug, Olivia blushing divinely beside him.
 You're just in time to extend con gratulations, Dillingham;" he went on radiantly. "Olivia's just made me the happiest man in Christendom. Guess you must have gone around the block, didn't you, old man? The race Is to the swift, you know-and I took the shortcut across the park.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN
LONDON, Sept. 3O.-Bjornstjerne Bjorn-
son, the poet and novelist, who heretofore
has supported the idea Of a republican
form of government for Norway, now
publishes an open letter in the Aftenposten
advocating the scheme Of an elected King.
He points out that the Norwegian people
are republican in disposition, whether a
King or President occupies the seat of
honor. He continues:
AN elected Norwegian King would
like the Kings Of Great Britain and Italy,
live among us like great nobleman and
feel like hereditary President. The
difference between such kingdom and a
republic would only be formal. The
modern kingdom is only a transition form,
but this transition will give more security
to dynasty with powerful connections
than the dangerous isolation in republic.
Like Garibaldi, we republicans must
choose to serve a King, hoping to get as
highminded monarch as Italy did In his
day"

LONDON, Sept. 3O.-Any one who wants
to make a sporting speculation might make
an offer to purchase the Lord Mayor of
Dubin's salary.
The following are data on which its value
might be calculated. On September II
the salary was ss,4s5, when by the Lord
Mayors own deciding vote $4,000 was
added A fortnight later the council
unanimously rescinded the resolution in
creasing thee salary, which again became
Ss.4 .435. On this occasion the Lord Mayor
admitted that he had doubts as to the
legality OF the increase and declared that
he would be against it if it came to vote
again. Yesterday, however, the Lord
Mayor found himself confronted with
another revulsion of feeling when his
Nationalist friends proposed to restore
the increase. The Lord Mayor, doubtless
embarrassed between conscientious doubts
and his natural ceiling, beat a mastery
retreat leaving n substitute in the chair
and the Corporation to do as it pie ased
with his salary
By majority Of four the Corporation
restored the increase, and now the Unionists
and Labor members demand another

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ao.--The big

the Golden Gate, and shipping men say
tonight that the chances for getting her
on are slight. She lies only few yards from
the place whore the steamer Rio de Janeiro
struck and went down with many pas
sengers.
The Alameda sailed this morning at 10
o'clock for Honolulu with valuable cargo
and full passenger list. Heavy fog was
rolling in from the ocean and this confused
the pilot, who ran far inshore out of tho
usual course Of vessels. The ship struck
on half submerged ledge Of rocks, on
the outer point Of which the Rio de Janeiro
was wrecked, and stuck fast.
Word was sent to the city and tugs were
sent to her relief, but they could not haul
the steamer of.
The passengers we're transferred to tugs
and will be sent to Honolulu on another

is outside the buoy. Her cargo is valued

PARIS, Sept. 30-The American Chamber
of Commerce gave farewell dinner at the
Hotel Palais D'Orsay tonight in honor of
John h. Gowdy, the retiring American Con-
sul-0eneral William s. Dalliba president
of the Chamber of Commerce, presided.
Robert s. Mccormick, the American Am
bassador, sat on his right and Mr.. Gowdy
on his left There was distinguished COM
pany present, including the American En-
bassy and consular staffs, members Of the
Chamber Of Commerce and leading men,
bers of the American colony in Paris.
During the speeches Mr. Mccormick
stated that he had been commissioned by
the French Government to hand Mr. Gowdy
the insignia of an officer of the Legion of
Honor, Mr.. Gowdy's health was proposed
by Mr. Atwel, the American Consul at
Roubax. Mr.. Peartree reviewed Mr.. Cow
dy's consular career and lauded his ability
in satisfying at the same time the American
and French governments.
Mr.. Seligman commended the excellent
Judgment OF the late President Mckinley in
selecting a man of Mr.. Gowdy's ability for

Mr.. Gowdy, on rising to reply. requested
Ambassador Mccormick to affix the decora
ton of the Legion OF Honor on the lapel Of
his coat. There were no women present
and there was some difficulty about finding
a pin until Secretary Becker came to the
rescue with tie desired article, the company
meanwhile singing "For He's jolly Good
Fellow"
Mr. Gowdy referred to overwhelmi ng
statistics to prove the marvellous develop
ment Of the transatlantic trade during the
past eight years. Exports amounting to
1000 900 600 francs had been passed through
the Consulate and Mr.. Gowdy expressed
the hope that reciprocal treaties which
we're now being adjusted would further
develop the mutual trade of the two Soun-
tries. He said that after legalizing 20O,145
invoices he could truthfully assert that
there were fewer undervaluations In France
than in any other country in Europe,
fact which was equally creditable to the
exporters and the American consular
service. Mr., Gowdy spoke in the highest
praise Of the influence exerted by the Cham
Der of Commerce in promoting honest trade
and paid graceful tribute Of thanks to the
staffs of the consulate and embassy and

Special Cable Despatch TO THE sun.
LONDON, Sept 3O.--The Lancet publishes
suggestion from medical correspondent
that condemned murderers should have
the option Of submitting themselves to
some simple pathological experiment as
an alternative to being hanged. The
writer urges that life which is forfeited
by the State should be used for some good
end, instead Of being wasted. He says:
IF we could study disease in the labora-
tory of the human body we might with
confidence look forward to almost endless
possibilities
He says the question OF whether bovine
tuberculosis is transferable to human
beings is one which under this experiment
would be capable Of immediate solution.
Another question that could also he solved
Is whether cancer is transferable from
man to man. The writer says he does not
doubt that condemned man would accept
the chance of life in any such experiment
The Lancet editorially expresses agree
ment with the statement that criminals
would consent to place themselves at the
disposal OF the doctors, and points out that
criminals in the Middle Ages were handed
over to medical men for experiments with
poison and reputed remedies. Neverthe-
less. the Lancet does not support its cor
