LITTLE TRUSTS
In Towns Should Be Prosecuted, Judge
Tells Special Jury.

Portsmouth, O.-All the butchers,
bakers and milk dealers in the city
faced a special grand jury, impaneled
by Judge Blair, that forbid the reports
OF alleged combines, formed by these
various tradesmen to boost prices. Not
enough evidence was given to warrant
indictments on the antitrust law. In
dismissing the jurors Judge Blair said
that while the national and state gov
ernmentS were prosecuting the big
trusts, smaller courts and grand juries
should keep a sharp lookout for local
infractions. Within year milk has
gone up a third in price here, and it
was proposed to raise the price of
loaf of bread one cent. 1t is expected
that the judges warning will have a
salutary effect upon local dealers.

BABA BRARAU

Far east Is east and west is west,
and never the twain shall meet.
1t is not improbable that Rudyard
Kipling saw the gulf dividing the two
civilizations in his early acquaintance
ship with Baba Bharati when both
were journalists in India. 1t is GER
tain that Bharati saw it, for he came
tC the Occident avowedly to study the
possibilities of bridging it. Now, after
five years among us he has gone back
to his own people, never, he says, to
return. And with his perspective of
interestedness Baba Bharati, "citizen
of the universe" ascetic, philosopher
and apostle of the purely spiritual
life, sees war impending between east
and west; war, not of the west
against the yellow peril but Of the
east against what he calls the white
peril" of aggressiveness and material
ism.
The Orient will rise and drive the
white man forth. This will happen in
a very few years. BY 1915, believe,
this conflict will be we'll under way.

that Lafcadio Hearn made virtually
the same forecast some years ago. 1t
