sible, such complete prevention would do
damage to the body polite. What we need
is not vainly to try to prevent all COM
bination, but to secure such rigorous and
adequate control and supervision of the
combinations to prevent their injuring
the public, or existing in such form as
inevitably to threaten injury-for the mere
fact that a combination has secured prac-
ticaly complete control of a necessary of life
would under any circumstances show that
such combination was to be presumed to be
averse to the public interest. 1t is I'M
fortunate that our present laws should for
bid all combinations. instead Of sharply
discriminating between those combinations
which do good and those combinations
which do evil. Rebates, for instance, are
as often due to the pressure of big ship

the Standard Oil Company and as has been
shown since by the investigation Of the to-
bacco and sugar trusts as to the initiative
of big railroads Often railroads would like
to combine for the purpose OF preventing
big shipper from maintaining improper ad-
vantages at the expense Of small shippers
and of the general public. Such combina-
ton, instead of being forbidden by law,
should be favored. In other words, it
should be permitted to railroads to make
agreements, provided these agreements were
sanctioned by the interstate commerce COM
mission and were published. With these
conditions compiled with 1t is impossible to
see what harm such a combination could
do to the public at large"

Beautiful Incident Of Easter
Day.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Of all the novel
and beautiful incidents of Easter day none
provoked more comment yesterday than

whom live in South Oxford street. Brook

prayer service at the Hanson Place Baptist
Church. of which the Rev. DR.. Case is
pastor.
The service was led by the Rev. Freder-

large choir from the Hanson Place Baptist,
James Baptist. Sumner Avenue Baptist.

with Dwight L. Moody. entertained hun

Upstairs in Mr.. Sankey's room the effect
was almost electrical. What is it-what

window. The early morning air thrilled
with the melody.

The windows were raised and Mr.. Sankey
was assisted to seat overlooking the
street The tears streamed down the old
evangelist's face as he listened to the
voices. In succession then were given a
number Of Mr. Sankey's favorites. among
them Onward Christian Soldiers When
the Mists Have Rolled Away" Under His
Wing and mo Shadows There"
Long before the program was finished the
street was filed with people attracted from
nearby points. No one could account for
the great choir out of doors at that hour
in the morning.
DIR Cuyler lives in the block. Let's go
and serenade him, too" said Rev. Mr..
Knox. The serenaders did not have to send
in for DR.. Cuyler. He had heard the vol
ume of song in front Of the Sankey home,
and he was out on his front steps before
the throng reached his house.
Welcome, and God bless you for your
singing" said the old doctor. as he re-
moved his hat. Just give me Onward,
Christian Soldiers again."
Mr.. Mills, the leader. stepped up along
side the venerable preacher and started
the program all over again. At the end OF
the first song DIR. Cuyler put his arms
around the neck of the younger man and
spoke his thanks into his ear. Then to the
singers he said:
"Oh, It was a beautiful, beautiful thing
for you to sing for Mr.. Sankey. Do you
know that the last song my friend eankey
sang four years ago. at the time he was
stricken, was 'Blest Be the Tie That Binds'f
Why, my friends, he's in Beulahland now.

Jerusalem.
Between selections DR.. Cuyler spoke on

that his Christian experience was brighter

ultimately be need of enlarging the powers
of the interstate commission along several
different lines, SO as to give it larger and
more efficient control over the railroads.
1T cannot too often be repeated that ex
perience has conclusively shown the i'm
possibility of securing by the actions of
nearly half a hundred different state legis-
lures anything but ineffective chaos in the
way of dealing with the great corporations
which do not operate exclusively within the
limits of any one state. In some method.
whether by national license law or In other
fashion,, We must exercise, and at an early
date far more complete control than
at present over these great corporations
a control that will among other things pre-
vent the evils Of excessive over capitalize
ton, and that will compel the disclosure by
each big corporation of Its stockholders
and of its properties and business, whether
owned directly or through subsidiary or
affiliated corporations. This vii! tend to
put a stop to the securing of inordinate
profits by favored individuals at the ex-
pense, whether Of the general public, the
Stockholders or the wage workers. Our
effort should be not so much to prevent
consultations as such, but so to supervise
and control 1t as to see that 1t results in
no harm to the people.
The Middle Ground.
I'm enacting and enforcing such legislation
as this Congress already has to its credit
we are working on coherent plan with
a steady endeavor to secure the needed
reforms by the joint action of the moderate
men, the plain men who do not wish any
thing hysterical or dangerous, but who do
intend to deal in resolute common-sense
fashion with the real and great evils Of the
present system. The reactionaries and the
violent extremists show symptoms of join
ing hands with US. Both assert, for in
stance that If logical we should go to gov
eminent ownership of railroads and the
like the reactionaries, because on such an
issue they think the people would stand
with them, while the extremists care rather
to preach discomfort and agitation than to
achieve solid results. AS matter of fact
our position is as remote from that of
Bourbon reactionary as from that of the
impracticable or sinister visionary. We hold
that the government should not conduct the
business of the nation, but that 1t should
exercise such supervision as will insure its
being conducted in the interest of the ma
ton Our aim is, SO far as may be- to Sc

Predictions Falsihed.
In his message to Congress at the begin

ninth Congress. December 2, 1906, the
President said:
"The interstate commerce law has rather
amusingly falsihed the predictions, both of
those who asserted that II would ruin the
railroads and Of those who asserted that
1t did not go far enough and would ac-
compiish nothing. During the last five
months the railroads have shown increased
earnings, and some Of them unusual diyi-
dends: while during the same period the

JACK FROST KILLS
ALL OUR PEACHES
Estimated That Cold Weather Has
Reduced Peach Crop Fully
Sixty Per Cent.

1t is estimated that fully so per
cent of the peaches have been killed
in West Virginia by the last cold
weather. The crop, judging from
present indications, viii be the short
est in the history of the state, and
the loss to growers in the most pro-
life districts will be very large. A
number of land owners nave, dur
ing the past few years, started the
peach growing industry on the large
scale, and many of them have in
vested so heavily in the project that
more than a few of them will be
practically bankrupted by the spring
cold weather which has played havoc
with the peach crop.
The first disastrous freeze was on
the night of April 2. and several 9TH
ers have followed which have iniur-
ed the trees not hurt by the heavy
frost Of the month.
IN some Of the best peach counties

out this spring and IL next season is
favorable, part Of the great loss win
be repaired in the way Of profits.

think win take an interest in the
matter, and request them to arrange
a little Informal reception to be held
