WILL PRESS FOR RECEIVERS.
Government Dares Not Put Powder
Plants Out of business.

The present action of the government
in proceeding against the powder trust
is partly due to the long and persistently
waged campaign against the trust carried
on by Robert S. Waddell, Of Peoria, Ill.
He supplied the Department Of Justice
with much data, which has been verified.
apparently. by the Investigations Of spe-
cial agents employed by the Attorney
General.
Mr. Waddeu has claimed that the prices
charged the government for powder were
excessively high and yielded a net profit
Of 1l5 per cent to the powder monopoly
Besides creating a monopoly in smokeless
ordnance powder it is alleged that the
Du Pont Trust had sought to establish a
monopoly in dynamite, blasting and
sHokeless sporting powder.
Senator Head of Trust.
It had been intended by the government
to file its bill at Cincinnati, but this move
was frustrated by the trust. which dis
posed of its subsidiary plant at that point
The government then determined to at
tack the trust at Wilmington, Del. which
is the home of the Z. I. Du Pont de Ne
mours Company, Of which Senator II. A.
Du Pont is the president
The department does not believe a mere
writ of injunction to restrain the trust
will prove sufficient. and for this reason
It will press vigorously its request for the
appointment of a receiver.
The powder trust was formed for the
sole purpose. apparently, of preventing
the government from putting it out OF
business. The holding company is known
as the Du Pont International Smokeiess
Powder Company. II this company
should be dissolved by order of the court
the business would be carried on by Eve
subsidiary companies, all Of which are In
perfect agreement by reason of the pres
ence on the board of each Of the same
officers.
An important reason why the govern
ment does not want to stop the opera-
tons Of the plants controlled by the trust
is its need Of powder, both for the navy

SUNDAY MORNING SERMON.

We often hear thOughtleSS peop
say that the world is growing worse
but this is not true. The world ha
been growing better for nineteen cen
turieS. Before the Prince of Peace
came INTO the world, with his mes
sage Of love, humanity groped through
the darkness in agony and despair
Man had no rights, but was at The
mercy Of beasts in human form who
found their sport in the pouring out
of blood and tears and gloried in the
wretchedneSS and suffering that they
wrought through fire and sword, lash
and dungeon.
1t is true that since Christ came
with His message of peace on earth,
good will to men" our race has suffer
ed under terrible conditions in many
lands and is suffering to day; but
these conditions have been steadily
passing away before the march of
Christian enlightenment. The world
is growing better.
In the past warrior with an army
of lOod-thirSty men would march
agaiSt nation, conquer it, rob and
pilage the people and then either put
them to the sword or sell them into
slavery.
A deSpot, drunken with power and
ruling by the "divine right of kings"
could revel in orgies of blood and ago
ny and his revolving crimes were held
to be proper and right. But no Chris
tian nation would tolerate such things |
to day for man has learned that peace |
and productive industry and human
liberty are better than the deStruc-
tiOn of war and the misery of opres
sion.
The spirit of infdelity which lit tie
torch of the French revolution and
gave Napoleon an opportunity to de-
vote to his glory" 100000 of his
countrymen has lost its force and man
will no longer tolerate selfish ambitiCn n
in pouring out human blood.
The spirit of slavery which resulted
in. the destruction of 100000 lives
and Sc, 900, OOO,O0 worth of property
will never again curse the earth.
Neither can secession today result in
wars of plunder and contest as has
been shown by the peaceful separa- !
tion of Norway and Panama from;the
countries that held dominion over {
them. Is

NEW CONTRACT LABOR LAW.

In view Of the fact that the con
tention over labor brings about SC
much trouble, and sometimes BLOOD
shed, the law-making powers Of MiSSiS
Sippi has sought to discourage the
sometimes perniciouS work Of the la
Dor agent and to enforce the perfOr-
nance Of contracts. At this season
of the year when there is much NOV
| ing among farm tenants it would be
well for landowners to familiarze
themselves with the new labor Con-
tract law. Section 1146 CT the old
Code was reenacted and sections 114l
and 1l48, printed be low, which
makes the law very stringent. The
following are the two new sections:
Section ll47. The Same-Unlaw-
ful to Make Second Contract Without
Giving Notice of First-Any laborer,

sent of the employer or landlord, and

party without giving notice to the first
party. shall be guilty OF a miSdemea-

not exceeding fifty dollars.
