a BAs PRIVATE MONOPOLY
That Is Bryan's War Cry Now and He
Says Ii Has Been for Years
the Same

Trondhjem, Norway. June 22.-Wn-
liam J. Bryan, who is here witnessing
the coronation festival. taking for his
text the statement that he was being
described as conservative, said: Il
am not responsible for the phrases
used in regard TO me: but l am respon-
sible for my position on public ques-
tons. That position ought TO be well
known. Take the trust question fer
instance, as it seems uppermost just
now. My position is that private
monopoly is indefensible and intolera-
BILE. That was the Democratic plat
form in 1900 and the plank was in
corrorated in 1904 and it is the only
tenable position.
There is some talk Of controlling
the trusts-you might as we'll talk Of
controlling burglary. We do not say
men shall only steal little bit, or in
some particular way, but that they
shall not steal at all. 1t is so of pri-
vate mOnoDolies. 1t is not sufficient
to control or regulate them they
must be absolutely and totally de-
stroyed. Corporations should be con-
trolled and regulated, but private

monopolies must be eXterminated -

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

Trading at the opening was rather
dull and devoid of notable features
Wheat started a shade frmer with
commission houses buying and scalp
ers selling. Trade was not large or
very general.
Corn opened a shade higher on
light acceptances despite lower ca
bles and large receipts.
The oat trade was limited and
mainly local and professional Mar
ket about steady
Throughout the session there was
an under-current of weakness. with
an occasional suggestion of broaden
ing trade. but the aggressiveness of
the bears. precluded a bull move
ment, and prices were allowed to
drift eff to a Slight decline. the final
figures showing slight lower level
than the former session.

THE CIRCUS.
1t Is the Father of Contemporary
American Drama.

American Drama.
No problem is more fascinating to
the student Of Elizabethan drama than
the attempt to trace its splendid
achievement to its earliest sources.
The quest leads one back to primitive
folk plays, to secular improvisations
and medieval renderings of sacred
story, and all study of perfected types
shows clearly here and there the de-
terminate influence of these first at
tempts.
1t is odd that no one has undertaken
a similar investigation of our Ameri-
can drama, a species of art SO dis
tinctive from drama proper that we
are not only justified in seeking, but
are compelled to seek a partially diff
ferent origin. The material drawn
from American life, developed by
American talent and appealing to
American audiences has peculiar char
acteristics pointing irresistibly in con-
ception, development and execution to
our first artistic achievement, the
American circus, and inquiry as to

T. Barnum was perfecting the enter

eyes of an astonished world.
Though we can hardly be said to
have evolved new species, we have
given such marked coloring TO existing
, types of comedy that we may fairly
claim the credit of creating new va
rieties. The local color play, the so
ciety play the melodrama, the comic
opera, flourish as strictly national pro-
auctions upon our soil, differentia be-
ing perhaps more firmly established in
the case of the first two than of the
others. In all, motif, plot, characteriza-
ton, setting, show Enthusiastically the in

suggested.

WAYS Of scotch Justioc.

One often hears comments passed up
on the administration of the law by
local magistrates. but while it may
sometimes leave a little to be desired
1t is not 50 glaringly crude as it often
was in earlier times.
1t is on record that the Montrose
baIlie, after hearing the evidence in
q breach of the peace case, fined both
the accused and all the witnesses half
a Groom"
The witnesses naturally resented this
decision. but the bailie. with his mind
made up, refused to bulge from the po-
sitlon he had taken up and defended it
with the remark:
"It disna matter; he had nae business
there Half a Groom apaice."
The same bailie was trying another
case in which a difficulty arose regard
ing the nonappearance of a witness.
The court was informed that the wit
ness was defunct The magistrate,
who was q self made and highly sue
cessful business man and who had
gained elevation to the bench solely on
account Of his command of ''siller,
had never heard that particular form
applied to death and, thinking it was a
legal phrase, called out in command
ing tones. Bring forward the de-
functr which brought down the house.

Wisconsin AID VaIorem Railway
Statute Sustained by the
Supreme Court.
REVERsEFoR THE COURT BELOW
Which Had MuIcted Four Railways
Under That Law-Inheritance
Tax sIs Also Upheld.

Madison, Wis, June %. The su-
preme court has set aside the decision
of the lower court which entered
judgment of $4,000 against each of
four railroads for alleged incorrect re-
porting Of gross earnings as charged
by Railroad Commissioner Thomas.
The roads affected by the Judgment
are the Chicago and Northwestern.
Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul, Chi
cago, st. Paul Minneapolis and Oma-
ha, and the Minneapolis, St Paul and
Ste. Marie roads. The ad valorem tax
law itself is upheld. The ad yalorem
taxation law is the product of the leg
islative session of 1903, and changes
the system of taxing railroads from
the license to the percentage upon
valuation set by the state tax com
mission sitting as the state board of
appraisement. The law was drafted
by the tax commission after four years
of careful study.
Provisions of the Law.
The law provides that the railroads
shall pay into the state treasury the
regular license fee as paid under the
gross earnings system, and that when
the valuation of the road Is made and
the assessment Undetermined any ex-
cess shall be paid back to the company,
and any deficiency shall be made good
by the railroad company. The act was
attacked by the Chicago and North
western Railway company.
Inheritance Tax Law Valid.
The Wisconsin inheritance tax law
was sustained. 1t imposes a tax upon
every transfer of property, real or per-
sonal, lying within the jurisdiction Of
the state, made either by will or the
Inheritance laws of the state, or in con-
temptation of the death of the owner
and to take effect after his death.
Transfers under power of attorney are
also subject to the tax. The tax so
imposed is upon the clear market value
of the property at the rates imposed
by law and upon the excess of eXemp-
items granted by law.
Some Features of the Statute.
The primary rates are imposed upon
estates which exceed the exemptions
allowable, and do not exceed $4,000
The primary rates range from l per
cent. in the case of the wife. husband
lineal issue or lineal ancestor of the
deceased, to 3 per cent. in the case OF
tho most distant relatives and stran
gers in blood. The rates of taxation
are graded according to the value OF
the estates.

A score of women with banners flying

Thewomen were arraigned in a police

becoming a martyr and of going to
jail. The hearing of the other eases
