Is there a school book trust? This
question has been raised by the recent
advance in the prices of certain standard
text books and school trustees at Chicago
have begun an investigation of the so
called book trust, or the American Book
Company. The latter concern has now
come out in the open with long adver-
tisement in the leading daily and weekly
papers giving the statistics of the school
book publishing business This asserts
that there are in this country now over
40 independent publisher of school
books and that open and Unlimited compe-
tition still prevails. Figures are quoted
showing that there is now S42,000000
capital engaged in the school-book bust
ness and that out of that total no single
publisher has over $5000,00O. The adj
vertsement says that the talk about a
trust in this lire is merely an ogre con-
jured up by rival publishers to injure the
American Book Company in the p6blic
mind Reference is also made to the
pending suit in Texas to determine wheth-
er this company is trust or not, ii being
said that the suit was inspired By the
thirty-six other houses competing for the
school patronage in that State.

TO Make the Negro wor,k.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman. in the Amer

luton of the negro problem that the
whole body of our negro population that
is in a degenerate condition from what
ever causes be organized into a great in
dustrial army, controlled by the State and
under strict military discipline This army
should have uniforms. decorations titles,
ceremonies and careful system of grad
ing, membership to be a sign of honor
and Advancement Enough should be
placed upon farms to provide for the en-.
tire body. and the farms should be in
themselves schools of efficiency. Others
should be placed in shops and mills to
clothe the rest and provide other articles
of necessity. But the main occupation Of
the great organization would be in the
construction of better roads Mrs. Gil
man argues that with kind, but firm,
treatment. good living reasonable hours
and the absence of the strain of personal
initiative which tells upon the negro in
ordinary life competition. a great amount
of useful work and betterment could be
thus performed But as fast as the indi-
viduals proved their capacity to work I'M.

OHAs750,OOO FORGER
Prominent Chicago Real Estate
Dealer Gives Up and Confesses
to Huge Swindles.
SENTENCE IS TO IA YEARS
skillfuI Juggling of Bogus Notes and
Deeds oupes IS Persons and Ex-
tends Over 1s-Year Period.

Confessing his authorship of an end
less chain of forgeries involving more
than ST50,000, Peter Van Vlissingen.
for many years a prominent Chicago
real estate man and once reputed
wealthy, was indicted. tried and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary Monday af-
ternoon for term of from one to four
teen years. The amazing revelations of
how man who ranked high among his
associates could carry out a giganac
swindle in which he vietimized more
than a score of persons number of
them close friends-out Of 500. 900
came like a thunderbolt He first con
fessed to his crime Saturday to two
friends. AT noon Monday the case was
presented to the States attorney. and
thereafter steps toward sending Van
Vlissingen to felon's cell were taken
with remarkable rapidity.
The confession of the real estate man
revealed a scheme of systematic and
cunning forgery of notes and real estate
trust deeds and mortgages extending
over a period of eighteen years For
years Van ylissingen practiced a system
of forgery that did not arease stis,ui-
eion. Even his own nephew. John A
Vanderpoel. his chief clerk was wholly
ignorant of the swindles being perpe-
trated almost under his eyes.
Van Vlissingen's scheme was to loan
money and take mortgage or trust
deed as security. The notes and seeuri-
ties would be made o,lt in du form
signed. approved by Vanderpoel, and re-
corded with the county recorder. Van
