SHERMAN LAW REPEAL.

That progress is being made to-
 ward educating the public into true
 perception of the true character of the sherman antitrust law was shown yesterday at the convention of the
 National Civic Federation at Chicago.
 The delegates, many of them econo-
 mists of national repute, were praotl-
 cally unanimous that the antitrust
 law should be repealed-that 1t Is
 based on a wholly false principle and
 that attempts to enforce it are neces-
 sarily productive of profound business
 disturbance.
 Even Herbert Knox Smith, the ens thusiastic young man who is at the head of the federal bureau of corpor- ations, and whose ungoverned activi- ties have caused such alarm, is begin ming to see the light He now says copcerning trust laws:
 hThose laws forbid, in substance, combination in restraint of trade. h. asmuch as it is hard to conceive of any sore of important combination which7does not to a certain extent re- duce competition, and thereby in the technical legal sense restrain trade, it may be generally said that the anti trust laws forbid industrial combina- ton. We might as we'll recognize the fact that industrial and corporate combination is an economic necessi- l ty, but also an accomplished fact" The year 1890 seems destined to be 1 remembered as the birth year of two Diabolic Twins-the Sherman silver purchase law and the Sherman anti trust law, each a panic breeder, We 1 throttled one of them in 1894, but not
 soon enough to prevent doubt con l cerning the integrity Of the money
 base bringing on a depression, The | other is still on the statute books and
 for fifteen years practically escaped perception of it's true character be- cause unenforced. But it's inherent viciousness is now pretty we'll display l ed. As combination is an economic necessity-as our prosperity is de pendent on combination-the sound l opinion of the country should demand
 of the approaching congress the re. | peal of the Sherman antitrust law as 1 1t did the repeal of the Sherman sil. l yer law in tS94.-New York Globe.

as the science of right living. The eth
 les of Confusius has for centuries
 commanded the attention of the Japan ese mind and the devotion of the Jap
 anese heart. Its fundamental principles
 are taught, illustrated. impressed daily
 in thousands of schools. It is, too, very good ethics for teaching, learning, obey ing. Of the five principles of the noble
 man which Confucius pointed out,
 benevolence, uprightness, decorum, en-
 lightenment, and sincerity, the Japan
 ese have specially adopted the second
 and the third-uprightnes and decor um. The man of right character and of
 beautiful conduct represents the Jap anese ideal.
 To this problem, therefore, of keep ing life simple in an age which is not simple, and in a world of which the stronger nations are giving themselves to a Roman luxuriousness, the Japan ese people are addressing themselves A great, a very great, problem, in it's seriousness and fundamental relations, it is. Despite opposing forces there are strong reasons for believing, as I have tried to intimate, that this advancing nation of f7the far East may solve this problem more satisfactorily than any world power has yet solved it.-Charles F. Thwing in the New York Evening Post.

THE LATE PROFESSOR MAssoN

THE LATE PROFESSOR MASON.
 MT. Barrie has said that when at
 college Professor Masson's pupils made
 the resolve to dedicate their first book
 to Mason, Why they seldom did so
 was simply explained-when the book
 was written It was not good enough!
 It is said that many a student of
 Masson's burned his literature class
 fees in his garret grate all winter
 While benevolence was his distinguish
 ing trait, Professor Mason could be
 humorous and sarcastic on occasion.
 Among his students were some who
 would surreptitiously introduce the af-
 ternoon newspaper into the classroom.
 On one occasion the professor detected
 one of these, and he quietly remarked,
 in those deep, low tones which at times
 could be as impressive as the notes of
 a cathedral organ: T notice that some
 gentlemen in the back benches evince
 partiality for that hurried form of literature which is printed in news
 papers. I would remind those gentles- men that writing against time is bad literature and reading against time is bad manners"
 In 1897 Professor Masson's bust was presented to Edinburgh University. The presentation was made by Lord Rose bery in an eloquent speech, in the course of which he said:
 "But there is more than being a great professor, or Q great man of let ters; there is something about the character of the man which Is more eminent to my mind than all his works. If you Will allow me, I will illustrate il by figure. Last night, in my house by the sea, near here, I was gazing at the waters in front of me, and in the absolutely calm and impassive face of l the Firth of Forth there was reflected \ the stars in the heavens, a blurred and faint reflection it may be, at any rate, a true and sincere portraiture, as well as the waters could give them, of the eternal lights and lamps of the firm ament of heaven. And l think that we, in the course of human life, meet ! rarely, but now and then, with some human souls that seem to have caught the reflection of the eternal verities, not by striving or seeking to improve
 themselves so that they might earn | that reflection, but by simple and
 clear search for truth they catch that I glory, and it is reflected in their lives. It was on the same occasion that
 Lord Rosebery said that he believed if Macaulay's New Zealander were to go to Edinburgh and seek the one great survival of the Augustan age of letter.

 him the name of Professor Mason ! Westminster Gazette,

they wou not resist the law relative to the CONT
modify rates and the two cent fare. In the first
place there is no agreement If it had neen
made it would have been ofthe most vicious
pieces of legislation that could ever have been
enacted. Had an agreement or compromise
been entered into with the railroad it would
necessarily been in the nature Of contract
which never cou1d have been changed or al
tered. This has just recently been decided by
the supreme court of the United States in the
Cleveland street railways three cent fare fight.
It has been claimed for a long time in the state
that the legislatures of an early day made
contract with the railroads upon a three per
cent taxation their gross earnings in lieu OF
all other taxes and many are of the opinion
that that contract cannot be altered
changed by any Legislative body of today.
Should another contract then be made in refers
ence to the rates that should be binding for
time and eternity? Hardly. Why then accuse
the railroads of bad faith? We are aware that
few members of the last house. who were
more anxious for individual notorety than they
were for the best interests of the state, thought
they had accomplished something by corridor
interviews with railroad lobbyists but this GER
tain1y could not be considered a contract or
to nothing more but it had the effect the fail
roads desired i. e.. in changing the reduction
made by the warehouse commission from II to
10 per cent. Protest the time was considered
criminal by the chairman of the: House railroad
committee, and the question can now well be
asked for whom did he work."
