TRUSTS IN EUROPE
WILL NOT BE OBNOXIOUS

The report that Great Britain is to
nave a steel trust calls attention to
the fact that the United States Steel
trust has not been an ogre. 1t has not
tried to throttle competition
This does not imply that all trusts
are In its class, for they are not. II is
quite certain that IN copying the
american trust idea. both England and
Germany Will not copy the old and lax
laws here respecting such mergers
English law and German law will pre-
vent their steel trusts from becoming
obnoxious monsters. There will be no
secret ard crimInal rebates. United
states Steel has gotten along yerv
handsomely without having these ex-
ira ravors from railroads, and it's
highly commendable reports to share
holders to prove that 1t has no Official
secrets to hide. Mergers merely as
mergers are not wrong 1t Is only
when through lax enforcement OF
the law or by the absence Of any law
they are permitted TO smother those
who refuse 70 be merged, or when they
raise prices unduly, do they become
enemies to the public welfare.4Phila-

Communicated.
The sadness of death was never more
marked in our church or community
than in the recent death of Miss Julia E.
Brokaw.
Sad, that life, bright, young, and so
full of promise was so soon brought to a
close, and so many circles broken. She
was teacher in the Public Schools of
Cecil county and was greatly loved by
pupils and patrons.
Since little girl she was a member of
the Rock Presbyterian church, and, until
her death active in church work, and a
helpful member of the young peoples
societies connected with the church, and
social societies of the community as we'll.
Services were conducted in the church
by the newly-elected pastor Rev. B. J..
Brinkema assisted by her former pastor
Rev. w. T. M. Beale and Rev. F. Dickens
Lewis close friend of the family and
pastor of Rodney Street church in vii.
mington. The remarks were impressive
aud conveyed beautiful thoughts for the
bereaved members of the family until the
morning of that Resurrection Glory when
they shall see her face to face.
The love of her many friends was
shown in the number and beauty of
floral tributes and the number who fol.
flowed her to her last resting-place. The
loving, gentle spirit which marked her
character in health was even more ap-
parent in sickness until-'God's finger
touched her and she slept For 30 He
giveth His beloved Sleep"
