ROOSEVELT WANTS
] ANTITRUST Law
APPEALS TO CONGRESS TO ACT
Seeks to Govern Use Of lnjunctlOns in
Labor Troubles - Would
AyoldClass Conflict

washingtvHApril 2S.-President
Roosevelt late yesterday afternoon
sent to Congress a special message
setting forth in the strongest terms
the necessity of immediate legisla-
ton Strengthening the antitrust law.
He reiterates his well-known views
as to the grave danger to free In
stitutions from the corrupting infiu-
ence Of great wealth suddenly con-
centrated In the hands of the few,
and urges the immediate passage of
measures similar to those he advo-
Gated in his former message on the
same subject.
Such legislation. he says, will be in
the interest of both the decent cor
porations and the law-abiding labor
unions. In this connection, he
sounds warning to the labor lead
ers who have objected to the inclu-
sion of labor organizations in the
antitrust law amendment. and says
plainly that the exception of the
unions from the operation of the
law would render the measure In
valid
The legislation he proposes, he
points out, will not interfere In any
way with the right of the laboring
men to combine, to conduct peaceable
strikes, to make trade agreements
with their employers and to perform
other legitimate acts. There are,
however, he points out, cases In
| which trades unions may take them
selves from under the protection of
the law by attempting to interfere
with or restrain interstate commerce.
as, for example, by boycott or black
list. Hence the necessity of their
inclusion in the trust-law amend
ment.
In this connection the President
pleads for immediate legislation for
| the preservation of the injunction
power, the abuse of which, he de-
clares, has placed 1t in jeopardy from
| its enemies. This reform, he says,
must be granted at once, inasmuch
as the people demand 1t and expert
ence has shown that their demands
| cannot safely be ignored.
Among other matters touched upon
In the message is the necessity for
an appropriation sufficient to permit
the examination of railroad books
of accounts and record under the
provisions of the Hepburn law,
which, 1t Is stated, will be shorn of
most of its valuable feature II the
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
not given means with which to con-
duct its Investigations into the opera
ton of railroads incompetently or
corruptly managed.
The President cones on to say that
| 1t Is his personal belief that ulti-
mately we shall have to adopt Ma
tional corporation law, though he is
we'll aware that this may be impos-
sible at present.
The man who breaches hatred Of
wealth honestly acquired Is menace
| to the community. But his counter
part in evil Is to be found In that
particular kind of ulti-millionaire.
of whom 1t has been well said that
his face has grown hard and cruel
while his body has grown soft; whose
son is fool and his daughter for
eign princess.

the city life.
Those who stay in the village, in the
majority of cases. do not work together

have no temptations to offer that

High Culture Manifest.

Surely we are undergoing a pleas
ing development in civic life in the
matter of municipal beauty, cleanliness
and conveniences. Those places are
indeed behind the times which provide
no resting places, drinking fountains
and evidence of community pride and
thrift. The individual may help much
toward the desired goal if he only
cleans and cares for his own premises
in Il proper manner. Work of this
kind, like the measles, is highly con-
tagious and soon affects the community
generally. Visitors wonder why such
place is so much more attractive
than others similarly situated and are

The idea is a most excellent one and

STAY IN HOME TOWN.
Why Plunge Into the MaeIstrom Of
Life in a Large City?


Life in Large City?
George II. Maxwell, who believes in
rural and small town life as greatly
preferable to the city, offers this con-
vincing argument in Maxwell's Tails
man:
This nation today is enjoying pleth-
ora OF prosperity and figures that daz-
zle the imagination.
But there is another side to this fruit
OF material wealth which now seems so
luscious that some day, when bitten
into, it may prove Dead sea apple.
1t is the abnormal concentration Of
trade, Industry and population in the
great cities, where all the influences
that degenerate humanity, rich as well
as poor, have full sway and grow
apace.
And when we study seriously and
soberly the effects of this unnatural
city life ON the mental and physical
character of our people it is serious
question whether the gigantic strides
we are making in the accumulation of
material wealth is not at the expense
of hum0n wealth and whether it may
not turn out in the end to have been
too dearly bought
1t has been strikingly said of the civ
iliZations of ancient times, which We're
destroyed by the degeneracy of their
people, that they grew rotten and
ripe for destruction not in the fields,
but in the narrow lanes and crowded
city streets and in the palaces of their
nobility"
If any one will walk through the
slums of the east side of New York or
the shacks of Pittsburg or the tene-
ments of Chicago and see the swarm
ing myriads of children that are grow
ing to manhood and womanhood in
those evil environments, he will be
startled by the revelation that not a
few only but the great majority of our
working people In the great centers of
population live in surroundings that
are unfit for children to be reared in
and must inevitably deteriorate the
race. From every life lived under such
conditions something is taken that can
not be replaced by any figures showing
only human activity that has not con-
tributed to the improvement of human
life.
The saddest, and most depressing
thought that can find q place in the
mind when contemplating the wretched
conditions under which so many mil
lions of lives are lived in this country
is the realization of the fact that if a
greater proportion of human industry,
the same laborious work of human
hands that builds the palaces of the
millionaires and the millions of flats,
tenements and shackS that are occu-
pied by the working people, could be
devoted to building the right kind of
suburban or rural homes for those
same workers, what different nation
this would be generation or so hence.
While the people are crowding into
the cities, the villages and small towns
are being depleted not only of their
population, but their trade as well. In.
stead of working together to realize
the real joys of village life, with all its
possibilities of human sympathy, close
friendships. love of natures beauties
and the inspiration of the ideal home
life that is possible in such an environ
ment. the spirit of. uHrest- possesses

Along with the growing appreciation
of parkways comes the recognition of
the value. even necessity, of setting

In the past areas set aside for munich

more unmistakable that these planta-
ton belts should be wider When this
growing artistic spirit has reached the

CITY ROSE HEDGE.
How Small Back Yard Was Easily

How Small Back Yard Was Easily
Made Beauty Spot.
Iron fences can easily be made at
tractive and greatly enhance the
beauty of a town by following the
scheme described in this article:
There is little two story house on
street in West PHILADELPHIA that
boasts one of the prettiest rose hedges
that ever reminded the tired city
dweller of green lawns and country
gardens. The house has, as most West
Philadelphia houses do, a wee bit of
sodded yard behind it-only q few feet
square and surrounded by a low iron
fence.
Over this fence the roses trail, CAV
crimson ramblers and dainty pink ram
blers and rare bits of sweetbrier. From
the street through the narrow distance
that separates the house from its neigh
boring pair" the passerby catches
glimpses of what looks like some love
ly pleasure garden. In the warm DAYS
the family who live in the little house
all the year around eat their supper in
a corner of the yard beside the roses,
and on summer afternoons they enter
tain callers there. 1t is one of the
prettiest places in town, this back yard
of little two story house.
And all that the wise housewife did
was to buy some little rose plants, the
climbing kind. and train them over that
| ugly wire fence.

PhIox and Hydrangeas For Stations.
Blue Grass For Right of Way.
One of the good things for which
people have to thank the railroads is
the progress they are making in beau
tifying their right of way.
1t is the practice of the Pennsylva-
MIA, as Moody's Magazine points out,
to surround its passenger stations,
which are practically the doorways to
towns and cities. with little parks with
terraces and gracefully curving paths
and roadways To care for these sta
ton parks is part of the duty of the
maintenance of way department. just
as it is to keep the rails and ties in
good order. Flowers and shrubbery
are planted in artistic plots. and gar
deners keep them fresh and flourish
ing.

road. which is a subsidiary of the
Pennsylvania, 600 trees and shrubs be-
sides beds of phlox and hydrangeas
were set out this year. For another

The Republicans figure this way:
Normal Republicans 10000, Patter-
son Democrats 5000, anti-saloon
and church element 5000 and there
you are.
Just now interest is centered in
the work of clarifying the challenge
lists. Yesterday the Republicans
swore to statement or at least some
of the leaders did that there were
some 1900 in the list of illegally
registered. They published list OF
names. The Democrats say that
they have checked up and found that
over 500 of these are known to be
bona fide voters. They claim that
practically every man challenged Is
Democrat In order to get back on
the lists the 1900 have to go to the
court house and swear that they are
entitled to vote. The Democrats
claim that the Republicans did this
in order to disfranchise this many
people and that when they get to the
court house to be sworn the Republi-
cans will have hangers on passing
in and out through the line bother
ing them to the extent that many OF
them will become disgusted and leave
the lines and return to their homes
and never vote. The Democrats
claim that this is the slickest way
of beating an election, that was ever
pulled off. The Republicans do not
deny that this was the real object OF
the game.
