,puerlle Trust Christening.

IT, All the national truSt-buStlng and
railroad regulation has not reduced the
price Of trust goods, or Of railroad
transportation, although the admins
tratlon takes credit for being the great
corporations regulator. So much so that
Secretary Root, and President Roose-
welt himself, seem to wish to monopo-
lie the management and control Of
corporations by the Federal govern
ment. The railroad nagnates have
very promptly fallen in with this plan,
for they no doubt think 1t Is easier
and less expensive to deal with Re-
publican Congress than with forty-fiv
separate State Legislatures. But the
people seem to view the matter in n
different light and have insisted that
the Legislatures Of their States pass
stringent legislation to control and pun
ish the corporations which are plumber
Ing them and the Legislators have re-
sponded to the demand and lower rail-
road rates aud Imprisonment for trust
magnates have resulted.
Filming trust or corporation, even a
comparatively large sum, has proven
quite inadequate a punishment to pre-
vent the repetition of their Illegal do
ings and In the end the customers of
the orporatlons-which is really every
one-have to pay the fines by increased
prices for their products. so the ma
tional legislation has proven to be a
barren ideality MS far as the people are
concerned. So surely has this lack of
real punishment for exorbitant charges
and illegal combinations been exhibited
in Interstate commerce that 1t has been
a constant wonder that our boastful
administration has ignored or refused
to execute the criminal section of the
antitrust law.
In a recent address by President
Woodrow Wilson of Princeton Univers-
ity he called attention to the lack OF
enforcement of the criminal law against
the law breakers when he declared
zone really responsible man in Jail, one
real originator Of the schemes and
transactions which are contrary to the
| public interest legally lodged in the
penitentiary, would be worth more thar

FINAL TRIUMPH OF MEDICINE.

Victory has followed victory, and
many of the most dreaded diseases
have become powerless in the con-
quest with preventive medicine. The
clientele Of the physicians is growing

as humanitarians and scientists is

coming generations of more erudite
physicians have conquered and laid
at their feet the two worst enemies

NEXT PANIC DUE IN 1918.
BY Prof Joseph F. Johnso

If an Industrial crisis is on the slate it will,
in all probability, not come before 1913. That
would seem an appropriate year. In England
there is panic about every ten years, in the
United States every twenty years. During the
last ten years prices have risen ~ per cent,
while the amount of money has increased 10
per cent. During that same time the national
banks have increased their loans and discounts

Photographing the Voice.

Photographic the Voice.
AFTER the problem OF obtaining a
record of the human voice had once
been solved by the invention of the
photograph, many inventors turned
their attention toward some suitable
process for photographing spoken
words" so writes DR.. Alfred Gra-
denwzitz In the Technical World
Magazine. "Though Photographic
record constitutes true picture of the
voice, 1t is not distinct enough to be
deciphered by mere inspection.
This Photographic photograph or
photographophone Invented by Herr
Runner affords far more character
istic graphical rendering of spoken
words. In this apparatus an electric
arc lamp inserted in tho circuit of Il
microphone is made to give out radl-
alton the intensity of which CORE
spondes to the sound vibration in the
microphone, this radiation being fixed
photographlcally on the film running
past In front Of narrow slot. By a
convenient inversion. of the whole
process, the original sound can then be
reproduced from the Photographic
record"

ISOLATION clearly Indicated that the
common law principles can solve every
problem in civil life If permitted to do
so. and that the Capitalization of pow

Is now being attempted will destroy

ker, land has been for several years.

knowledged request of President Roose-
welt to the railroad magnate Hartman
that he collect more campaign funds
which the President declared were
needed in New York, were no doubt in
the mind of Judge Parker, when he
now charges that the President is
backed by the great corporations Of the
country In his effort to centralize their
control in the general government and
thus release the railroads and trusts
from state laws. AS the charge Of
Judge Parker, before the election Of
1904, that the corporations had con-
tributed large sums to the Roosevelt
campaign, has been fully verified by
later official disclosures, although de-
MED by President Roosevelt, there can
be no doubt that the proof will be
