should be additional legislation look
ing to the proper control of the great
business concerns engaged in inter
state business, this control to be ex-
ercised for their own benefit and
prosperity no less than for the pro-
lection of investors and of the gen
erai public. AS / have repeatedly
said in Messages to the Congress anu
elsewhere, experience has definitely
shown not merely the unwisdom but
the futility or endeavoring to put a
stop to all business combinations.
Modern industrial conditions are such
that combination is not only neces-
sary but inevitable. II is so In the
world of business just as it is so in
the world OF labor, and it is as idle
to desire to put an end to all corpor-
ations, to all big combinations of cap
ital, as to desire to put an end to
combinations of labor. Corporation
and labor union alike have come to
stay. Each IL properly managed is
a source of good and not evil When
ever In either there is evil, it should
be promptly held to account; but it
should receive hearty encouragement
so long as 1t is properly managed. It
is profoundly immoral to put or keep
on the statute books Law, nominalIy
in the interest Of public morality,
that really puts a premium upon pub
lie immortality, by undertaking to for
bid honest men from doing what must
be done under modern business con-
ditions, SO that the law itself pro-
yides that its own infraction must be
the condition precedent upon business
success. To aim at the accomplish
ment Of too much usually means the
accomplishment of too little, and Of
ten tue doing Of positive damage. In
my Message to the Congress a year
ago, In speaking OF the antitrust
laws, / said;
The actual working Of our laws
has shown that the effort to pro-
hibit all combination, good or bad, Is
noxious where it is not ineffective.
Combination OF capital like combina-
ton OF labor. IS a necessary element
lin our present Industrial system It
is not possible completely to prevent
all combination, but to secure such
rigorous and adequate control and SUI.
pervision of the combinations as to
prevent their injuring the public, or
existing in such forms as Inevitably
70 threaten injury. It is un-
fortunate that our present laws should
forbid all combinations instead OF
sharply discriminating between those
combinations which dc good and
those combinations which do evil.

BROUGHT THE CROWD BACK.
Orators Apt Story Won the Ears
Of His Listeners.

The ready wit and fund OF good
stories always at the command OF Mr..
Samuel J. Elder. Boston's well.known
lawyer. was illustrated at a large pub
lie dinner In Pennington few years
ago. There had been many speakers.
the hour waxed late. people were
tired. and the diners were one by
one quietly pushing back their chairs
and leaving the hall. when Mr.. Elder
was called upon to respond to n
toast.
He rose. and looking around the
large hall. remarked that the present
circumstances reminded him OF the
story told OF n Methodist minister.
The reverend gentleman was ofiiciat.
ing In strange parish. and when he
rose TO deliver his sermon the con.
gregatlon began stealing out one by
one. stopping In his delivery Of his
text. he remarked. quietly:
We'll. | have all my life been n
travelling clergyman. but never be-
fore have ! preached TO a travelling
congregation"
Mr. Elders palpable hit" brought
down the house. and the migration
ceased until the close OF his brilliant
remarks.

CHANGES COLOR OF EYES.
Remarkable Peculiarly Discovered In
Javsnese spider.

M. w. Strickland OF Singapore re-
Gently had strange experience while
sitting in a garden at Buitenzorg,
Java. Watching captive spider re-
markable for the possession of a pair
of eyes which glow like gig lamps
amid a cluster Of smaller eyes, he was
amazed to note that the gig lamps"
slowly changed In color from brown
to grass green and back again to
brown!
Further, as II to increase his aston
ishment, the creature proceeded to
change the color of Its eyes alternate
ly, thereby exercising a most uncanny
fascination over the mere man. There
was something 80 diabolically DELHI
crate in these changes as to make
II seem that the rector took a genuine
pride In the performance.
The offer OF substantial reward
for other specimens OF the same spe-
cies proved unavailing. but II was
instrumental In bringing to light a
second species, of grass green color
slashed with yellow. which proved In
every way as great an expert in the
gentle art OF ogling as its somberly
colored relative.
So far as is known, this change in
the color OF the eyes occurs only in
certain species OF ducks, and then
only under the influence OF fear,
while in the spider world II would
appear to be almost voluntary.
