!
the eminently respectable gentlemen
who rob eighty millions of people OF
hundreds of millions of dollars annu-
ally, the language of the statute
ought to be changed, for nothing is
more calculated to breed anarchy
than the faulty enforcement of the
law against rich criminals, while it is
rigidly enforced against petty offend
ers.
New Trust Laws Needed.
But it is not sufficient to enforce
existing laws, if ten corporations con
spring together in restraint of trade
are threatened with punishment, all
they have to, do now is to dissolve
their separate corporations and turn
their property over TO new corpora
ton. The new corporation can pro-
coed to do the same thing that the
separate corporations attempted, and
yet not violate he law. We need,
therefore, new legislation, and the
Republican party not only fails to en-
act such legislation, but fails even to
promise it. The Democrat party
must be prepared to propose new and
efficient legislation.
Recent Investigations have
grought to light the fact that nearly
all the crookedness revealed in the
management of our large corpora
lions has been due to the duplication
of directorates. No man can serve
two masters, and the director who
attempts to do so will fail. no matter
how much money he makes before
his fault is discovered.
1T is worth while to consider
whether a blow may not be struck at
the trusts by law making it illegal
for the same person to act as director
or officer of the two corporations
which deal with each other, or are en-
gagged in the same general business.
Federal Licenses for Trusts.
A still more far-reaching remedy
was proposed by the Democratic plat
form of 1900, namely, the requiring
of corporations to take out a federal
license before engaging in interstate
commerce. This remedy is simple,
easily applied and comprehensive,
The requiring of a license would not
embarass legitimate corporations; it
would scarcely inconvenience them.
Just as a license to sell liquor leaves
the possessor of the license to sell
only by federal commissioner. If
corporations were required to take
out federal license, the federal gov
eminent then could issue the license
upon terms and conditions which
would protect the public. A corpora
lions differs from a human being in
that it has no natural rights, and as
all of it's rights are derived from the
statutes, it can be limited or restrain
ed accordingly as the public welfare
may require. The control which con-
gress has over interstate commerce
is complete, and if congress can pre-
vent the transportation of lottery
ticket through the mails, by the ex-
press companies or by freight. it
can certainly forbid the use of the
mails, the railroads ard telegraph
lines to any corporation which is en-
deavoring to monopolize an article of
commerce.
AS to Free Trade.
''While absolute free trade would
not not necessarily make trust i'm
possible, still it is probable that very
few establishments would enter into

Ownership of Railroads.

"The sentiment in favor of the own
ership of railroads by the govern
ment is likely to increase as rapidly
throughout the country as the senti-
ment for municipal ownership has in
creased in cities. Some have oppos-
ed this dual ownership as impractic-
able, but investigation proves its cor
rectness. Nearly all the railroad of
Germany are owned by the several
states, the empire not even owning
the trunk lines. and yet the interstate
traffic Is in no wise INSTRUCTED. In
travelling from Constantinople to vi
emma one passes through Turkey and
a part of Servia without change of
cars, and yet each country owns and
operates tits own railroads, and diff

they will empty into the Payette river.

FIRE BURNS BARN


Early Monday morning the
barn and ontbuildings on the
premises OF NJ. A. Bates were de-
stroyed by fire, together with all
contents. The fire was dis
covered by DIR. and Mrs. Easter.
whose residence occupies the ad
joining lot. At the time of the.
discovery of the fire the flames
had been comm unicated TO the
residence, which was ablaze IN
many places. After awakening
the family OF Mr. Bates, the .ef-
forts of the volunteer firemen-
and firewomen-were directed to-
ward saving the residence, which
was done after IA hard fight. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but
was undoubtedly incendiary. A
buggy belonging to F. f. Fisk
standing near the barn. was ais,
burned. The loss was about
$500, with no insurance excepI
on the house, on which the dam
age was slight. Had the fire moi
been extinguished at the resi-
dence all of the buildings on the
south side of the block including
the Herald office, Parma Inde-
pendent telephone office, and DR.
Casters office and residence
would have burned, as there was
IA strong wind blowing from the
northwest, and no means o
checking the fire. The barn OF F
E. Fisk across the alley wa,
barely saved, the direction of th'
wind being responsible.

William A. Gray Dies.

From the Wheaton (Minn.) Gazette-Reporter
Traverse county lost one of its
best citizens Saturday last, June 2,
1906, when death claimed William
A. Gray of Leonardsville township.
Mr.. Gray had not been~inthe best of
health for sometime past, and four
weeks ago suffered a stroke of par
alysis which rendered him helpless
and gradually weakened his hold
on life until his eyes closed in the
last,long sleep Saturday forenoon.
Deceased was born in the state of
Michigan on June 4, 1858, and there
fore lacked but two days of being
48 years of age. He came with his
parents to Washington Co., Mimi,
in 1861 but moved from there to
Pierce county, Wis, in 1867. He
was among those who experienced
the privations of pioneer life here,
being among the first to locate in
Traverse county. He took up his
residence here in 1878 when this
county was a wilderness and has
ever since made his home on the old
homestead he settled upon in Leon
ardsville township.
He was married at River Falls,
Wis, in 1884 to Miss Lizzie Staples,
and his wife, two sons and two
daughters constituted the happy
home upon which death has cast
mantle of sorrow.
Mr.. Gray possessed the sterling
qualities that so to make up the
character of an honest, honorable
and useful citizen. He was man
of influence in the community be-
cause he possessed good judgment,
was fearless in advocating what he
believed to be right, while his sim
cerity and honesty of purpose were
unquestioned 1t can be said of
him that every acquaintance held
him in the highest esteem and every
neighbor was his warm personal
friend. He discharged life's duties
faithfully and his chief concern was
the comfort and happiness of the
loved ones dependent upon him.
He took deep interest in public
affairs and his advice and assist
ance were always highly valued by
thosein or seeking public positions,
His death is loss to the county
and is source of deep regret, par
ticularly to the old settlers with
whom he has associated so long
and who SO highly priced his friend
ship. While nothing but time can
soothe the agony of grief of the be-
reaved family, there must be COM
fort in the knowledge, that the life
of the husband and father was such
that all share in the deep sorrow
which his death occasions.
The funeral took place at the
home Monday, Rev c. B. Latimer
conducting the services, and the
body was laid to rest in the GENE
