Natural forces have at last assert
ed themselves. and the greatest cor
poration the world ever saw. the Steel
Trust, has been obliged to surrender
to the memorable law of supply and
demand. This powerful and skillfully
managed corporation was organized
largely for the express purpose OF
escaping this law. Competition was
to be abolished or reduced to q mini
mum and regulating force, and in it's
place artificial regulation was to be
substituted. The market was to be
under the control of a few able men
to whose judgment and absolute pow
err the whole industry must submit;
and the free play of differences of
opinion between buyer and seller,
which has been the system of price
control ever since civilization began.
was to be abolished at stroke.
Competition between buyers and COM
petition between sellers was to be
wiped out. and the wants of trade
were to be estimated and satisfied
according to the opinion or caprice of
a few men. Such in brief were the
ultimate aims Of the policy Of some
of the great monopolistic combina-
tons which have been created within
the last few years. Nothing more
revolutionary and nothing more ap-
preaching to socialism has ever been
put into practical effect than these
huge combinations, which placed
whole industries under the arbitrary
control of few strong but not in
fallible individuals. The failure of
artificial regulation in case of the
steel trust is. therefore, of the high
est Importance. 1t shows that the
trust system has failed in one of it's
prime and most Objectionable pur-
poses, that of regulating prices; and

Calling from Pulpit by the
Rev. S. w. Traum.
HE ALSO BROADSlDES
AT LOCAL CONDITIONS
States that the Reform Move

in the Churches Instead of

What does Richmond need?"
1t was upon this question that the
Rev. S. W. Traum addressed large
audience at the Christian church yes.
terday afternoon and he answered 1t
by saying "A conscience" His words
constituted a singing rebuke to local
citizens, whom he claimed abandoned
moral principles when they voted for
the retention of saloons at the local
option election. The minister assert
ed that the city's name has been de-
bauched and the stigma of disgrace
brought upon it.
In an interview this morning. the
Rev. Mr.. Traum admitted the fault
for the conditions. he regrets so deep.

he saw consistency on the part of the
church vote that supported the sa-

the first time unless he has been vot-

the minister.
Where to Start Reform.
When asked as to where reform
needs to begin to be the most effec-

reform ought to begin in the churches.

In his public address. the Rev. Mr..
Traum went even further than in the
interview and not only spoke OF the
cause Of Richmond as being traduced.
but declared the result Of the local
option election is a sad commentary
on the so-called Christian men OF
Richmond, who proved they we're
afraid to vote for dry righteousness
and decency. 1t was presumed by his
hearers that the minister Of a local
Protestant church and the priest Of a
Catholic church were referred to by
Mr. Traum, when he said: 1T il

do anything but scratch and we had to
wrap his hands up to keep him from
tearing the flesh open till the blood
would run. The itching was intense.
The skin on his back became hard and

months. But 1 found remedy In

BLAMES FAMILY PRIDE
Attorney for Virginia Wardlaw Declares
Poverty Is Cause of His Clients
Arrest

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-"Poverty and
family pride have been the reasons for
it ALL" said Franklin Fort, Jr., Monday
in defense of his client, Miss Virginia
Wardlaw, Who is now held at East
Orange, n. j., charged with the murder
of her niece, Mrs. Ocey w. n. Snead.
One of the most damaging statements
against Miss Wardlaw came from w. w.
Butcher, a lawyer of Brooklyn, the third
or fourth attorney to whom the family
applied within a few weeks to obtain
loans on insurance policies or to have
wills written. Mr.. Butcher said that one
of the women, the 'Wardlaw" woman,
he is convinced, explaining to him the
complicated condition of their financial
affairs, remarked that the matter would
soon be Strengthened out through the ex-
pected death of near relative. He was
considerably taken aback by this state
ment, which he considered so cold-blood-
ed that he SHE'D from having any bust
ness dealings with them
Another lawyer, Julius Y. Carabba of
Brooklyn, stated that when he was called
in to draw up a will he found Mrs. Snead
in bed and looking like a starving wom-
an. When Miss Wardlaw and another
woman left the room to ascertain the
cause of sudden noise, Mrs Snead said:
Don't, please don't; make that will like
infant son will get my property. l want
him to have it. Also, please take me
away from here. They are starving me
to death, and they will not give me any
medicine" He loaned Mrs. Snead IS
with which to get food, and when the
older women returned he refused to draw
I'D the will.

NEW WORLDS, WONDER
Volcano in Samoan Group Magnificent
Spectacle, Says New York
Professor

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. S.-The
volcano on the island of Savaii on the
Samoan group, which burst into activity
in 1905, is now one of the wonders of
the world. according to Prof. Henry +.
Champion OF the University of Columbia,
who arrived here on the liner Alameda.
Prof. Champion, who IS associated. with
the American Museum of Natural His
tory and the Carnegie institute and has
been engaged in research among the is
lands of the south seas, says that the
lava from the volcano has flowed to the
sea and formed a solid wall for five
miles along the shore and projecting
about half a mile into the sea. Prof.
Champion spent a night at the rim, of
the crater. The lake of fire.. formerly
level with the crater mouth, now lies
400 feet below the rim. 1t is half mile
in length and third of a mile in width.
HaIf q mile away it is possible to read
by the glare reflected from the sky. As
a spectacle, the professor said, it was
magnificent.
