\ TRUST LAWYER ON

says, there were many sincere de-
tenders and apologists OF the trustslt

But has it worked out in practice !?
Not at all A trust, in the popular
or unpopular meaning of the word,
cannot thrive save at the expense Of
the community
1t is evident that Mr.. Untermeyer
has also reached the conslusion that
the high protective tariff has fostered
the great trusts and monopolis6
against which the people of the coun-
Try have been compelled by extortion
and other abuses to array themselves.

The Excelsior Trolley,

The Excelsior car line is in operation
and marks the first step toward a sys-
tenn of trolley lines between Minneap-
oils and her suburbs Minnesota has
been somewhat backward in the build
ing of what are. known in the east as
traction lines, perhaps because our towns
are widely separated and it has not
seemed to capital that trolleys would
pay. Indeed, the success Of the trolley
lines in Indiana and Ohio is yet cues
ton because Of initial mistakes and the
overcapitalization of some Of the, ven.
lures. But farther east the interurban
enterprises have been quite successful
They have proven creators Of business.
The announcement that the fares on
the Excelsior line will be 25 cents each
way, and that the company is not max
ing any fight on the railroads, sounds
very much as if the street railway com
pany is keeping the peace with the
steam roads at the expense of the public
What are the people Of Minneapolis
getting out of this concession Of run

to go to the lakes by the streetcar al

What the people have right to ex
pect in return for their giving up the
streets is a cheaper ride. The steam
roads have not been handed Hennepi1

agree to carry passengers to Lake Min
netonka much cheaper than it does now

VERY OLDEST CITY is
FOUND IN BABYLONIA

supposed to be the oldest city in the
world
A temple was uncovered, and it was
found that as early as the fifth century
B. c., material more substantial than
clay was used for building. But more
important were some inscribed tablets
from which it was learned that the city
was the oldest in the world, and its
name was Wd-Nun-Ki. Several days
later another important find was made.
One of the workmen uncovered some
thing white Because of the supersti-
tions of the natives, the director or
dered the object covered up AMI waited
until night to remove it. 1t proved to
be statue without head or toes. These
were discovered later. The statue Is
about thirty inches high and perfect In
all respects. Tt is inscribed with three
words, which, translated, are Esbar, the
name Of the temple; King Daddu, the
king represented by the statue, and
Wd-Nun-Ki, the name of the city. The
little statue is believed to be the oldest
in the world.

The party sent out by the Univer-

Babylonia has just completed its work,
which has been most successful. The
knowledge of pre-Sargonic language,
history, religion and arts has been very
materially increased.
In 1903 John D. Rockefeller agreed
to give $4,000 annually for five years
to be spent in research work in the far
east. In addition many contributions
were received from those interested in
the explorations. In the summer of
1903 President Harper personally Wis

The site of Bismya, one of the larg-

the place of excavation.
Work began Dec. 25 under the direc-
tion of r. j. Banks. Soon things were
progressing rapidly and the finds were
numerous They consisted mostly of

How the Law Is Sometimes
Worked. -

Gambling was going on in the Den
nison House, an Indianapolis hotel, and
the police raided the place. They cap
tured the parties concerned and the
tools of their trade and took then be-
fore. his Honor, Judge Wheller. The
judge proceeded, to show the police
their error. There was gambling where
the police said; but the number Of the
room was 143, not al. And that made
all the difference in the world TO a
judge that is a stern foe of gambling
because a hotel is not a hotel, SO to
speak. The dictionaries define a hote]
as "a house for the entertainment OF
travellers and others" ""ea house fol
the entertainment Of strangers an6
Travellers But the learned judge, sale
cit is simply many houses.'' (sensa
tion in court.) What was supposed tc
be room l43, as part of suite Of rooms
that included No. l41 in the same house
is nothing of the kind. No. l43 is ONE
/" house," and No. al is another
"house." So the gamblers were re
leased. y Certainly our liberties are
thoroly safeguarded by the law.

Cumming WITH ROYALTY
American Girls on Good Terms With
Princes and Grand Dukes.
New York Press


One little American girl is having the
time of her life in Homburg these days,
for she is on terms of equal friendship
with a Russian grand duke, and jap
anese princess, each of which has been
sought vainly by half the European So
ciety women in that fashionable resort.
Miss Cassell is her name-a cousin Of
the Cassells prominent in western socie-
ty-and the dignitaries with whom she
is on a friendly footing are the world
famous Grand Duke Boris and the less
cess ArisugaWa, whose husband is
cousin of the Japanese emperor and has
been mentioned as possible heir
to the throne. The Yankee lass plays
tennis with the czar's relative and
drinks tea with the mikado' s connec-
ton. Her play in mixed doubles with
the bizarre Boris was the talk of the
| recent tennis tournament, and the free
dom with which she was received by the
almond=eyed patrician excited equal
comment. Just how she happened to
become so friendly with two such dia-
metricaliy different personages is Miss
Cassell s own secret. Perhaps it is be-
cause she is an exceptionally charming
little girl and has enough spirit to re-
gard it as, no condescensien on the part
of any European or Asiatic celebrity to
chum with an American.
Another American beauty who Is on
good terms with the philanthropic JAP
anese princess is Mrs. Alfred de Cordo-
va, of this city, for whom suite usual
1y. is reserved in Ritter IS at this time Of
the year. Mrs. de Cordova, tho in the
same hotel with the grand duke, does
not include him in her list of friends.
She is not an admirer of the festive
| Boris, nor, in fact, has she high regard
for any Of the Romanoffs. But the New
York matron has found much to enjoy
pom belle, and if the Arisugawas come
to this country it is likely the princess
will be feted by Mrs. de CordoVa. In
| letters to friends at home the New
Yorker describes her japanese friend
as one Of the most intellectual women
she ever has met. The princess Is the
| leading advocate of the higher educa-
ton, for girls in Japan, and has done
| much to promote elevation Of
| the curriculum in every gov
eminent seminary there Mrs.
| de Cordova is to visit Princess Arisuga-
wa in Toxic, when this cruel war is
| over. The Stokeses-Mrs. Arson Phelps
and her daughter Helen-have formed
an acquaintance with the princess, but
they are not as intimate with her as is
"A1f' de Cordova IS beautiful wife.
