Trust Makes Final Sweep.

The tendency toward the CEN
tralization of industry was strik-
ingly manifested last month by
the following series OF news items
which appeared in the newspa-
pers on the same day:
First, we witnessed Mr. Doug
las, of Douglas shoe fame and
Ex-Democratic Governor of
Massachusetts, declaring that
the Beef Trust is getting ready
to consume it's own hides by go
ing into the manufacture of
shoes on it's own hook. AS Mr..
Douglas says, the Beef Trust,
having the control OF the source
orsupply for boots and shoes,
namely, hides, would have an
enormous advantage over CON-
peting shoe manufacturers, in
fact, it would completely exter-
inmate them, just as the Tobacco
Trust is DISCRIMINATING the small
independent cigar stores by cut
ting off their source of supply.
Then comes along Mr.. Huyler,
the candy manufacturer, who
has had word sent to him that

in practical control of the man.

try, has decided to go into the

manufacture and distribution of
candy.
The greater part of the candy
is not. as most people fondly
suppose, made up Of sugar, but
mostly of glucose, this being the
case with even the very finest
candies. 1t is impossible for a
candy manufacturer, even if he
is a very large one, to economi-
cally manufacture glucose on
his own account. He must go
to the Glucose Trust for it.
Therefore, if the Trust decides to
convert its own glucose into
candy, it means that the candy
manufacturers will be wiped off
the earth.
Incidentally, might mention
that Standard Oil is rapidly get
ting control of the bituminous
coal of the country, and making
it very warm for theindependent
coal producers, and the Steel
Trust is going in for the manu-
facture of boilers.
We wonder how long it win be
before the smaller manufacturers
of the country wake up to the
fact that there is no salvation
for them under the present in
dustrial system. -Ex.

Spirit of Dead Inpels
Another to do Artists
Unfinished Work.

New York, July 1.-The strange
story Of the spirit Of dead artist
taking possession of the mind Of a
living man and impelling him to
carry on the artists unfinished
work is related by Professor James
Hyslop, president Of the American
Society of Psychical research, who,
with Professor Isaac X. Funk re-
Gently came to the conclusion that
the spirit of man lives after his
body is dead.
Robert Swain Clifford, the artist
in question, died in 1905, at his
summer home near New Bedford,
Mass. Frederick L. Thompson, a
goldsmith, had met Mr.. Clifford only
twice and knew him but slightly.
Thompson had never indicated any
ability as an artist until ak months
after the death Of Clifford, when he
did not even know that Clifford had
died. He was suddenly seized with
an impulse to paint picture and
going to work on it, he was sur
prised at his ability. While he
was painting the voice of Clifford
seemed to tell him to continue the
work he had started. Thompson
continued painting pictures, always
obsessed by the spirit Of Clifford
and found ready market for them.
Many purchasers commented on
their similarity to Gifford's paint
ings.
Fearing that his mind was giving
way, in 1907, Thompson called on
Professor Hyslop. He made sever
al sketches Of pictures at the in
stance Of what he considered to be
Gifford's spirit. Professor Hyslop
locked them up in safe and then
Thompson went to New Bedford
and called on Gifford's widow whom
he had never met. One of the
first things Mrs. Clifford showed
him was a sketch which Mr.. Clifford
had made a short time before his
death and which had been locked
up and seen by no one until few
days before Mr.. Thompson's call.
This sketch was exactly similar in
every detail to one of the sketches
Thompson had left with Professor
Hyslop.
This fact and other equally sur
prising features in the case, prompt
ed Professor Hyslop to even a
stronger belief that the spirit lives
after death and Artist Gifford'e
spirit finds communication with
this world through the medium OF
Thompson.-Ex.
