Among Mem was the subject of DR..
Herbert's address last night and it
was a practical message to the young
man, one filled with inspiring
thoughts and one calculated TO en-
courage rather than discourage the
young man who may be struggling
with problems of life that appear I'M

An Age of Young Men.
This is an age of young men: it
is but a repetition of things that have
gone before" said DR. Herbert. for
all the ages have been dominated in
general by the young men. | am one
of those who believe that the present
day type OF the young man has reach
ed the highest stage Of development
that the world has ever known. The
standard is growing. however. and
the young man who succeeds must
struggle to acquire it. The longing
for the good old times by the chron-
ic grumbler, the crouch and the pess-
fmist is ridiculous. The young man
of today in accomplishment can and
does equal the feats Of his father.
The young man grows intellectually,
spiritually and morally. And Of the
latter quality it is apparent with the
conditions of great social unrest no.
ticed on every side that the moral
test is given to everything. 1t is a
non-partisan period in politics. A
time when the man in Congress must
and cannot do just what party die
tates. The young man recognizes
the need of the hour They under
stand that we are passing through
social and religious crisis and that
out of this confusion we will evolve
a society that is safe and sane
Told Many Witty Stories.
DR.. Herbert was long" on humor-
Gus anecdotes and he found many
places in his address where some wit
ty story, applicable to the case. serv-
ed to emphasize his argument He
kept his audience in the best of hui
NOR and his eloquent tribute to the
worth and to the ability of the young
man of the day and of the hour were
applauded. DR.. Herbert will be
heard again this evening. His subject

Notes of Chautauqua.

Everybody in the family is invit
ed to camp at the Chautauqua except
ing the dog. There has never been
a time since Glen Miller has been a
park, but dogs have been under the
ban, but the real difficulty comes dur
ing the Chautauqua season when
the ten days outing. The dog comes
too. He can be beaten and cuffed
and put out of the park, but he comes
back with annoying regularity every
time. No less than twenty-five dogs
were escorted from the grounds yes
terday, some of them against the
wishes of their masters.
The announcement bell that is
sounded just previous to the opening
of the session has anything but a

a Word About the Trusts.
| $50 much for the claim that Ameri-
can public life is on the down grade.
Now word about the trust problem.
| | don't think God has left the people
of this beautiful country at the mercy
of extortion and robbery. There are
laws made by God which have not yet,
fortunately, been repealed by Con
gress, which have more to do with the
control of business propositions than
some of us have believed These
laws stand between a community and
the corporation which seeks to rob
Three of these divine statutes ars as
follows:
THE law of maximum consumption
which, to illustrate, makes it possible
for corporation to make more
money by selling its product to a mil
lion persons at a fair price, than to
sell to few thousands at rates that
are those of eXtortion. There is an
example of this in our own govern
mental affairs. The greatest and
most perfect monopoly of which l
know is that of making and selling
postage stamps. There was a time
within the memory of some men now
before me, when a postage stamp for
the sending of a single letter cost so
cents. When the proposition came
TO cut the price to % cents there
were public men who believed that
ME government would be ruined. The
cut was made. The postal business
and the profits to the government
were doubled. The rates were cut to
10 cents, then to cents, then to
and finally to 2 cents, and with each
cut the postal business has doubled.
There are some members of Congress
who believe that the present receipts
from the price of postage stamps
would be doubled again if the cut was
made to / cent. This is an illustra-
ton of the law of maximum consump-
ton.
Law of Consumption.
THE second natural law is that OF
consumption, where, if
the price of an article is raised out of
to its worth, the consum-
er seeks and buys substitute at a
lower price which will answer his pur-
pose fully as well. The tin plate
trust is nearest q private monopoly
that I know Of. 1t is nearer than the
Standard Oil Company, nearer than
the sugar refining business and, in
fact, nearer than any single business

A Hoggish Trust Busted.
.The third natural law is that of
deferred consumption, which has an
apt illustration in the fate of the
American Sickle Company, organized
many years ago, when scythes were
used on every farm. The twelve con
Germs in this country that manufacture
ed scythes, got together in Chicago
and merged with a capitalization of
S5000,000. They put up the price Of
scythes, and expected to fairly coin
wealth The first year the sales
dropped from 100000 scythes in the
year previous, to less than 5000. The
farmer deferred the purchase of a
new scythe when the price went up
and he used the old one The trust

of the workings of these natural laws
and when it comes to the legisla lion
of Congress to correct abuses, | say
as | have often declared before that
there is nothing that the American
people want done that Congress will
not do, when it can be determined
just what the people really want
There were striking examples of this
in the last session of Congress. The
people wanted a law providing for the
regulation of railroad rates. The
railroads were opposed to it. But
Congress enacted the rate legislation

the people are not close to Congress
and that body will always respond
when the wishes are clearly defined"
Poorer People the Happiest.
Senator Dolliver, in closing his adj
dress made reference to the accumu-

the poorer people were always the
happiest. That the greatest pleasures
of living were found as a rule in the
homes of the poor: the greatest trou-
bles often in the palaces of the rich
The greatest blessing of having great
wealth, he declared, was in being able
to use it for doing good Senator
Dolliyer took occasion to pay tribute
