Thomas w. Lawson. he of the
''frcnzied finance f,,cubrations,
now claims that if the "systcm"
under which the Wall street f.
nance manipulators operate is per-
mitted to continue, ten men will
before long be in control of the
commerce of the country. If left
alone probably conditions such as
Lawson predicts would result from
the operations of the RockefeIIers,
Hills, ETC., but there are now plen,
ty indications at hand that the sys
tenn by which so much Of the
wealth of the country has accumu-
lated in the hands of a very few
men, in proportion to the popula-
ton, will be cultaiIed and the pow
er of money subjngated to the
power Of the people for the well
fare and happiness of tho masses.
We are apt to believe that the
power Of wealth is a growing
quantity, and is really menacing
the vitality of our republic, but
when contrasted with former
epochs in our national deve,cp-
ment the present holds nothing to
indicate that American citizenship
is retrogressing and subordinating
itself to the power of wealth. The
very fact that the financial opera
tions of Wall Street-its methods
and its purposes, are under the
criticism of public opinion is a
sign that the people will soon be
taking hand in the regulation of
Wall STREETS affairs. The days of
the stock jobber are limited and
industial securities must rest non
their actual values, instead of the
inflated values placed upon them
by manipulaters of the stock mar
ket for the purpose of taking the
small boards of the people TO add
them to their own immense accu.
mutations. 1t is in this direction
that President Roosevelt, as The
instrument of the people, is en-
deavoring to turn Legislation. The
next generation is, therefore, in 8
fair way to witness the solution OF
this problem, which had its incep
ton with the institution of popular
government. The laws of the
people have become second only
to the laws of nature, and will
the growth of human intellect w
shall rest secure against the ag
gressions of individual human Sc:

wore a black string tie or none al

The Moons Motion.

The force which causes an apple
to fall to the ground will also make
Il stone fall from the top of the
highest mountain. How much
higher above the earth's surface
does it continue to act? As far as
the moon: If so, the moon will
tend to fall toward the earth.
When Newton-then but 23 Years
|o|d-first tried to find out whether
and how much The earth attracted
the moon, it was wrongly believed
that the earth was 1000 miles in
diameter, and it was known that
the moon was sixty times as dis
tant from the earth as the earth :
surface was from the earth's cen
ter. The mistaken opinion of
scientists regarding the diameter
of the earth vitiated his calcuIa-
tions.
He did not take up the subject
again until, twenty years later, be
heard of Picard's measurements,
which showed that the earth was
one sixth larger than had been
supposed. Then he resumed his
calculations. He found that the
moon was DETECTED from straight
|iue and toward the earth sixteen
feet per minute. A body at the
surface Of t he cart h falls
sixteen feet in one second, or
exactly sixty times as fast us the
moon falls toward the earth. The
moon is sixty times as far from
the earth as the earths surface is
from its center. The conclusion
which Newton, therefore, came to
was that the force which attracted
the moon was identical with the
force which attracted the apple
but that it diminished in the in
verse square of the distance from
| the earth-in other words, at the
moon, which was sixty times a:
distant from the earth's surfsce a:
the earth's surface was from it:
center, the attraction was only
1-36OO as strong az was the attrac
ton at its surface. The moon wa
attracted toward the earth by
gravity. 1t did not fall on tl'
earth because in virtue Of its In
ertia it tended to move forward j,
a straight line. The earth's at
traction and the moons merits
Just balanced each other, ant
therefore it moved forward con
tinually in the eliipse called it
"orbit. ."-Chicago Tribune.
