WOULD MODIFY LAW
STAR ON THE REG
ULATION OF TRUSTS.
Believes That Features Applying to
Existing Conditions Should Be
Added to Statute-For Ad-
justment to Bust
ness Needs.

The Hartford Times takes q peep
into the future:
In the end. we prophesy the Ameri-
can people, with their eyes open, will
sweep the Sherman antitrust law OF
the statute books, and all its advo-
Gates and executors out OF power.
They will do this because not to do 1t
means a paralysis Of all the business
of the country and an end to all pros
perity."
To what party does the Times look
for this service? The Republican
party, which enacted the law, shows
no desire to repeal 1t, and we may
be sure the Chicago convention will
not pronounce in favor OF repeal.
Nor will the Denver convention ad-
vocate repeal. Whether the Demo
cratic candidate is Mr.. Bryan or an
other, he must stand upon the party
record as respects the trusts, and
that record is not friendly. The regu-
lation Of trusts Is the only issue upon
which Democrats are agreed.
And as for Mr.. Hearst's party. in
spired as it by him, and he inspired by
his observations in New York, lenity to-
ward trusts Is about the last thing to
be expected of it. The independence
party is nothing IL not antitrust. One
of the strongest planks in its platform
will deal with that question.
The Times should have predicted a
modification of the Sherman law.
That Is likely. That would probably
serve good purpose. Eighteen years
have gone by since the law was
passed, and in that time many changes
have taken place in business methods.
have multiplied. and some have taken
new forms. This In itself shows that
the law has not met the expectation of
its friends, or redressed the griev-
ances Of the country. The law should
be brought up to date. II should he
made to carry features applying to the
conditions which now exist. How diff
ferent these conditions are from those
of 1890 1t would require good deal of
space to describe.
The country is more convinced than
ever Of the necessity of government
regulation of the trust power. The
Sherman law Is grounded in public
necessity, and needs only an adjust
ment to the latest business develop
ments. No party is going to sweep
the law off the statute books" To
give the trusts full swing would play
directly into the hands of the social
lists.
The Sixty-first congress should deal
with the subject. 1t might have been
well had action of some kind been
taken at the session now closing. But
the bulk of the business presented
was large, and there was not time for
everything that pressed for attention

Swift Discovery.

We are apt to think that It Is only
in recent years that scientific discov-
cry has become so accelerated that its
announcements make people catch
their breath. But Prof. T. f. Thorpe
reminds us that seldom in the history
OF science has any discovery, so mo-
mentous in it's results. been perfected
and announced so quickly as Sir
Humphrey Davy's discovery of the
metals potassium and sodium by the
action of electricity upon solutions OF
potash and soda. On October 10, 1907.
he got his first results; on November
10 he astonished the Royal society
with mastery account Of their COM
pletion When he saw the new metals
appear in shining globules, and then
take fire, he danced about the floor in
ecstasy. But recovering his self-com-
mand, within one month he had OBJ
tanned most OF the leading facts known
to-day about the physics and chemis-
try of the alkaline metals. What a
pleasure for Davy, and what an ad-
vantage for science, IL he could be
alive now!

IN LINE WITH HIS PARTY.
Bryan's Limitations Arc Those Of the
democracy.

While the common creed with r.
spect to William Jennings Bryan con.
tains a clause relating to his unswerv-
ing honesty and transparent sincerity,
there are some notifications Of this
confession of faith upon the part of
his followers. A man embodying all
the virtues Is rarely discovered. But
while the honesty and sincerity of Mr..
Bryan are still secure from severe as
sault, there is another limitation that
has come to light and Is being made
much OF. Mr.. Bryan as stump orator
Is an immense success. He can make
big audience culver with emotion by
the might of his words. 1t Is not nee
essary to ask oneself wether he Is
saying something. Speech and ideas
are not necessarily related. A fine
speaker is not always fine thinker.
Mr.. Bryan Is of an adventurous hab.
1t. and dips into all kinds of problems
and questions and has come to be
thought by the rank and file of his
formation and ideas upon all public
questions. 1t comes with a shock to
the popular impression. therefore, that
prominent banker, after hearing the
Democratic sachem's recent table talk
on finance, should be convinced that
the Nebraskan does not know what a
bank deposit is.
AS a matter of fact. the criticism
may be passed upon Mr.. Bryan that
his limitations of knowledge are in
proportion to his command of verbiage.
He does not seem to have clear and
fundamental ideas on any leading
question. His Haunting of the rail
road-ownership question. with the sub
sequent straddle and abandonment of
the Issue Is a case in point. Mr..
Bryan CLEANS in all fields, but not with
discrimination. The charge that he
does not know is the most serious
that could be brought against the
Democratic champion, who confesses
no limitations. There was some dis
position to sheer at Mr.. Taft because
he honestly acknowledged that he did
not posesas an expert upon the details
Of tariff revision. But 1t Is vastly
more manly for a man Of ideas, who
can readily enough broaden out his
fund Of information upon subject. to
acknowledge limitations than for one
who proceeds upon the assumption OF
all knowledge to seek to gloss over
his weaknesses by the charms of
speech.
But Mr.. BRYAN ia as well informed
as his party. They together repre-
sent the perversion of national ex.
perience and the denial of the obvious

the property when the house Is fin
lshed.
The entrance to house Of this size
and shape should always be at the
side, otherwise you must have long
hallway which is not desirable in any
habitation. Besides the convenience
inside. an entrance way of this kind
may be made more attractive from the
outside, especially when the APP
proach is made by veranda.
This Is the side of the house where
you want the walk which extends
back TO the kitchen porch. Between
this walk and the front veranda there
will be strip of ground two or three
feet wide, extending back to the din
ing.room bay. This is the proper
place for few flowers and climbing
zines to screen the veranda. BY max
ing the ground rich almost airy climb

AS TO CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY.
Is Mr.. Bryan Quite Sure That His
Own Skirts Are Clear.

Now that Mr.. Bryan has got into
licity Of campaign funds as one Of the
leading candidates" a few facts are
coming out. Discovery has been made
in New York that Thomas Fortune
Ryan contributed $4,000 to the Ne
braska campaign In 1904 to make Mr..
duce him to give campaign support to
Judge Alton B. Parker. 1t Is intimated
that Mr.. Ryan Is not wholly pleased
with the experiment and that Mr..
Bryan is not happy.
We are inclined to think this meas
ure Of publicity of campaign contribu-
tons" Is too far in the class Of ancient
history to be valuable. The suggestion
of Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota
himself a candidate for presidential
nomination, though not one of the
leading candidates of our respective
parties"-is more up to date and per-
tinent. 1t is that full publicity should
be given the expenditures of candi-
dates for nomination and for election
before the holding of the nominating
conventions or of the elections. This
should impel Mr.. Bryan to prompt
proof by example of the sincerity of
his precept. We might recommend
the same to Mr.. Taft. How much has
the eminent Nebraskan and his friends
spent to procure the coveted nomina-
ton at Denver? We have heard
through The Commoner that the money
power has been trying to buy unin-
structed delegations. The charge in
dicates knowledge, and knowledge in
such matters may be gained through
competitive bidding.
Mr.. Bryan ought to tell the public
how much his campaign has cost and
for what purpose the expenditures
have been made, He might also make
public the contributions of the opposi-
ton. on which he appears to be well
informed. He ought to do this just to
show at what small expense virtue
and assurance-can triumph.

EmoIuments Of Statesmen.

Few of our statesmen have received
as much as 100000 in official SAL
aries, says London Tit-Bits. Mr.. Glad
stones total receipts from Office came
to little over G102,000; Lord Sails
burys fell just short of 100000; the
duke of Devonshire received approx
mately e64,000; Lord Cross E74,000:

Lord Goschen, 10000, and Lord
George Hamilton. e6S,O00, while Lord
Halsbury throws all these into the

The appearance of house like this

ture, but Just as effective to-day as 1t

comfortable in the coolest weather. so
that the little house Is complete with

II In after years it Is decided to put
a cellar under the house and to heat
with a furnace, the plan Is still a good
one. A very small furnace would

winter.

Each house should be designed and

design that suits you, then you order
the materials according to the appear

Appropriations Not Excessive.

The appropriations by the congress
just adjourned sum up $1,008, S04 ,S94.57.
II is the first real billion-dollar ses-
sion, the largest amount appropriated
at any previous session being that
made by the final session of the Fifty
ninth congress, aggregating something
over 1867, 100000. Chairman Tawney
of the committee chiefly responsible
for the national appropriation items,
calls attention to the fact of essential
importance in connection with the an
nually increasing expenditures by the
national government when he shows
that they have maintained an almost
uniform proportion, except during the
period of the civil war, in comparison
with each $1,000 Of national wealth.
While 1t Is true that our national ex-
penditures exceed those Of any other
country in the world, it Is also true
that the aggregate of our national
wealth pretty nearly doubles that of
any other nation on earth. Behind
the billion-dollar congress there Is the
country with an aggregate wealth of
about $4,000, 100000.
There Is considerable work of an I'M
portant nature left over for the second
session. But the Sixtieth congress,
upon the whole, has made a record
which deserves, and which will doubt
less receive, the thoughtful approval
of the country.

may not suit or the lot may not tally
up with your ideas in regard to either
size or shape. You may be prejudiced
against a narrow lot, or you may want
a narrow frontage extending we'll
back to give you room for good gar
den in the rear, at the same time
saving the heavy expense Of street i'm
provements in front Of wide lot.
All these things have to be taken
into consideration at the very first,
but In this case we will suppose that
you have selected a long, narrow lot,
and wish to utilize 1t to the very best
advantage by building a long. narrow
house like this, and at the same time
you wish to work In all the essential
features, the conveniences you want
and the neat. attractive appearance Of

The Currency Bill.

Despite Senator La Follettes fill.
clustering tactics, the Aldrich-Vreeland
bill has passed the senate and will
soon take its place on the statute
book. The country is, we think, to be
congratulated on the outcome; for the
measure, with all its faults, is better
than none and should suffice to avert
the peril of panic. II is enough to
know that the currency may be great
ly expanded at a pinch, for panic is a
mere state of mind, not a state OF
trade, after all.-N. Y. Tribune.

DUTY DEvoLViNG ON STATES
Properly Fulfilled, Leaves Little Need
for Federal interference.

Embedded in Secretary Wilson's
gratifying report as to the efficiency
and adequacy of the federal meat in
spection is the following valuable
though not novel hint:
much of the responsibility for the
sale Of tubercular and otherwise dis
eased beeves must be assumed by the
individual states. We cannot touch
plants which do not transact interstate
business, and with tuberculosis on the
increase every precaution against its
entrance to the markets must be
taken.
ut would be well If some of the
states would pay greater attention to
this branch Of public protection. Such
an increase of caution would aid ma
terially In giving the purchaser a guar
antee that his meat is in perfect condi-
ton"
Secretary Wilson's words ought not
to need such painful emphasis, and yet
good many men throughout the
country who are 80 much alarmed at
the uses Of federal authority developed
recently may need something as vio'
lent as ptomaines to bring them to a
realization that the best Of all ways to
check the expansion of federal powers
Is to exercise state powers to their
full and proper extent.
If the state does it's duty few ap-
peals to the nation will be necessary.
Furthermore, unless the state does its
eral power will not fully protect the
individual.
