JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

r OR combined beauty of location and histori-
4 cal interest there has never been, at least
since the Centennial celebration at Philadelphia,
in 1870, any exposition in America that is COM
parable to that now in progress at what was once
jamestown, Va. For countless thousands of
Americans, scattered from ocean to ocean, James
town should be Mecca, as truly as Plymouth is.
1t is the cradle of English civilization in America
for here, in 1907 thirteen years before the Pill
grim fathers landed at Plymouth Rock Captain
John Smith and his coadventurers planted the
English standard on the marshy banks of the
river James. In another aspect, too, the place is
OF interest, for off the shore of Hampton Roads
occurred, in 1862, the first engagement between
ironclads ever fought, the memorable battle be-
tween the Monitor and Merrmac.
We have become so used to expositions since
the Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1893, that there
is some danger of our neglecting this celebration
at jamestown. The backward season and unfor-
tunate delays in the completion of the exposition
have initiated against it, but there ought to be
no doubt as to its real success. Jamestown is
unusually accessible, not only by rail, but by
water Never before has any exposition been lo-
Gated that visitors from as wide an area could
reach it so readily by water routes, the pleasant
est method of travelling in summer. Everyone
who has vacation ahead should consider at least
including it in his itinerary.

by which the trusts-that is the illegal ones
can be proceeded against in some manner other
than is proposed. The Sherman antitrust law
has been on the statute books for long time,
and if there were methods to put it into effect,
why were they not employed before the era of
President Roosevelt? Among other Presidents,
Mr. Cleveland had opportunity to proceed
against the alleged illegal combines, but he did
not make much progress in that direction Those
who fancy that Judge Parker would have at
tempted to enforce the law against them have a
vivid mentality.
But even take the woeful view of those who
fear the utter conhscation of the property of
railroad companies, they should draw comfort
from the fact that Federal judges as a rule, are
very conservative The government must make
out strong case to secure the appointment of a
receiver for big concern 1t must be shown that
the concern proceeded against has been a wilful
violator of the law for a long time before any
drastic action would be taken by the court Then,
again, it is possible and in some instances prob
able, that corporations which the government
proceeds against as trusts, can prove that they
are not trusts within the meaning Of the law, and
that they have not violated their countrys stat
utes. There is no need for unnecessary alarm.

MILLIONS IN
DRAMATIC TRUST
KIaW and ErIanger to OpeF-
ate Theatres Abroad and
in This Country
By THE JOURNALS Special Wire.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Vigorous de-
nial that the dramatic muse is to be
strangled by the one hundred million
theatrical trust, announced as being
under way is made at the Offices of
Klaw and Erlanger, the home of the
octopus today.
In the absence of Abe Erlanger. who
is today in Pittsburg no official state
ment would be given out and il is not
likely that there will be any further
developments in the combination until
the arrival here of Attorney Levi
Mayer now enroute from Europe where
he has been swinging the deal which
Ii is said will put the theatrical trust
under the thumb of Klaw & Erlanger,
who now entirely dominate the pro-
fession.
At their Office today the impression
is given out unoficially that the new
Syndicate will confne it's efforts chief
ly to the vaudeville field, and it's pur-
pose will be the broadening develop
ment and advancement of that rapidly
growing form of amusement.
1t was announced that the trust is
TO operate theatres both In this coun-
try and in Europe.

HARD TO DEFEND A BAD DEAL


A FTER prolonged silence on the question,
\ the Old Lady at Fifth and Shipley has
come to the defence OF the proposed scheme TO
destroy the integrity OF the city's water system.
The dose that it had to swallow has proved rather
strong for even its copper lined corporation stom-
ach, and its efforts to furnish an excuse for the
raid upon the city water system are really laugh
able; but it took its medicine and descends into
the firstly and secondly in giving reasons why it
would not be bad thing for the Delaware Water
Company to get what it wants
Solemnly as though it were presenting geo
metrical proposition, the Old Lady informs lis,
first, that the "Water Department OF Whining
ton is not to make money for the people, but to
supply them with water The only question of
the profit is that it may serve to reduce other ele
ments of taxation"
Great reasoning this, but a little profit from
the Water Department, especially if it assists to
lower taxes, is not to be despised How the
granting of the franchise to the Delaware Water
Company to use the streets for private purposes
affecs this proposition is not clear. OF course
anything to reduce taxation is not desirable
The second proposition is that "the railroad
company is not user OF city water for its works
at Todd's Cut and its locomotives" 1t probably
would have continued to be user of the water
of the city had not the Delaware Water Com
pany scheme been hatched in the belief that this
franchise for private pipes could be secured from
the city without objection.
"The denial of the privilege asked for does not
operate TO the benefit OF the city by compelling
the railroad company to continue as a water GUS
TONER" says the defender. Time alone will dem
onstrate the truth of this assertion If the rail-
road company was satisfied with its present plan
Of securing water it would not, through the Della
ware Water Company seek to make different ar
rangements.
AS might be expected, the Old Lady's reason
ing does not touch the question involved in this
matter. The "bargain'-that is, the scheme by
which the city is to secure plot of ground put it
in fine condition. and then surrender it to the
railroad company, at the end of ten years-a
beautiful scheme, surely-is not touched upon
Neither is considered the precedent that would
be established by permitting ono private corpora
ton to use the streets for water purposes and
not granting other industries the same privilege.
For instance, the Blumenthal factories pay the
city we are oredibly informed, about $4,000
year for water. If the railroad company can use
the streets OF the city to carry its water, and the
Blumenthal people should decide that it wanted
TO establish its own water SYSTEM how in justice,
could they be denied the same privilege? And
the same would hold true OF other industries
The city, of course, cannot compel the railroad
company to buy water from it, but neither should
it be party to any plan to surrender an iota of
the monopoly rights it owns in its water system
This monopoly is controlled and owned by the
city, therefore it is right
