several branches of the industry, a
constant tendency for competitors to
gain business more rapidly than the
Combination and thus to reduce It's
proportion of the output. This tend
ency has been overcome only by con-
tinued buying up Of competitive con-
Germs. Many weaker concerns nave
been virtually driven out Of business
or forced to sell out to the Combine
ton, either by reason OF the dlrect
competition of the latter, or as an IN
direct result of the vigorous cOmDetl-
ton between the Combinaion n
larger Independent concerns. IN the
case of the larger and more powerful
. concerns which it acquired, however,
the Combination has usually secured
cOntrol only by paying q high price.
The immense profits OF the COmbina-
ton have enabled it to keep up this

SHORTENING THE THE TO LONDON

representative Of the Great Western Rail-
way OF England. Mr.. Charles Arlington, who is
making q short visit to New York, furnishes
some interesting information about a recent
change Of usage made by the Cunard company.
Fishguard, on the coast OF Wales, which has
been adopted as port Of call for Cunard steam
ships. is 113 miles nearer to New York than is
Liverpool. By landing passengers ar the new
stopping place, therefore, the Cuuard Line en-
than If it carried them on Ia Liverpool, as was
formerly its custom. Mr.. Arlington calculates
that If the Mauretania should leave her pier in
the North River next Wednesday at noon she
would reach Fishguard about l p. m. the fol-
lowing Monday He estimates the time required
for transfer by tender from ship to shore and
for the railway journey over the Great Western
tracks at seven hours. If his prediction is full
filled, passengers will step off their train In
London at s p. m, Greenwich time. If one takes
into consideration the difference in the reading
Of clocks in London and in New York. due to
longitude five hours), it will be seen only five
days and three hours viii be needed for the en-
tire trip.
The success OF the plan will depend on
several circumstances. To some extent of
course. II will be contingent on the weather
Should this be favorable the realization of Mr.
AldingtOnS hopes is probable. IN any case
gain of more than four hours should now be eff
fected on every voyage for the next few months
as a result of the adoption of the short course
across the Atlantic instead OF the long one.
Moreover as the Iusitania's speed is only a triflc
lower than the Mauretania's, the former steam
ship will probably enjoy practically the same
advantage from calling at Fishguard will the
latter. The Campania and the Lucania. being
slower vessels, will not he able TO their pa
irons 50 well, of course. but if they do not con-
sumo quite six days In the run from New York to
FiShguard they may at least make il feasible TO
reach London at a not unreasonable hour.
II has been evident for more than year that
the Cunard company was sacrificing some of the
benefit it might derive from the marvellous speed
or the latest two additions to its fleet by adher-
ing 10 the practice Of landing its passengers at
Liverpool. A number OF rumorS were current
last year about changes of policy which It con.
templated. with view to overcoming the draw
back. One was that Queenstown would be
abandoned as a port of call, I'm order to save
two or three hours. Another credited the COM
pany with the intention of making Southampton
its terminal port. and Of pursuing the course
now followed by the American and White Star
lines and by two German lines in the adoption
OF Plymouth as port of CALL These reports
were never verified and probably had no founda-
lion. 1t is now evident, however, that the COM
pany has been considering the problem carefully
and has found solution which will leave il free
to retain Liverpool as terminal The plan is
ingenious, and for part of tha year. at least
viii have distinct advantages.

THE Talk OF THE DAT.

James Shaw Maxwell. Deputy Lord Mayor Of
Glasgow, who Is making tour Of American cities,
has been telling of his hosts Of the Of
the municipality owned street railways I'm his home
city. "Car fares in Glasgow says ETT Maxwell
sre based on the distance the passenger desires to
be conveyed In the centre OF the city rate of
one cent is charged for haul Of six blocks less.
for five times that distance less. the fare is
two cents; while four cents will carry passenger
anywhere within the city limits, approximate
distance Of FIVE miles For passengers who desire
to go outside Of the city limits pro rata charge
is imposed" Mr.. Maxwell adds that the system
has met with general satisfaction and approval.
The small fares for short distances allow the pas
senger TO pay only for the distance he wishes 70
go. This, he believes, IS decided advantage over
the system here. which provides invariable fare

AN UNJUST HFETrvrF

One OF The saGdest cases Of political ingrati-
Hnoe which has come TO public notice recently is
the election, or attempted election OF Dr. Hemp
HILL the editor OF "The Charleston News and
Courier" from the Democratic party The writ
OF election was a little informal in character
but ii proceeded from proper authority and must
De regarded as practically an official Judgment
in G communication TO The Indianapolis News"
Mr. William J. Bryan said not long ago that
the editor OF that newspaper Ought 10 know
that The Charleston News and Courier Is not
IAN exponent of Democratic ideas" Mr. Brvan
added: at calls itself Democratic without be-
ing Democratic, inst as some legislators call
themselves representatives when they ar. mis-
Representatives"
1t may be an open question whether THE
Charleston News ana Courier is or Is not an
exponent Of Democratic ideas" But its editor
Dr. HenlphLl, has been an earnest supporter of
Mr.. Bryan IN each Of his three Presidential
campaigns, and was the first moulder OF opinion
sn the South 20 announce after the third reverse
that he had nailed the Bryan colors to the mast
sno favored the Nebraska leaders denomination
sn 1872 1916 and 1920. Such devotion 10 q
personality ought 10 have atoned for some slight
academic vagaries and lapses IN doctrine. Dr.
HemphilPs heart was right II his head went
occasionally wrong. His slips ia JerfersonIani
his GOODNESS toward free silver coinage his
dislike Of the initiative and referendum his dis
trust Of the doctrine OF majority rule and his
disbelief IN the popular election OF Senators-all
these should have been overlooked as yenisl
faults outweighed by his generous enthusiasm
IN the cause Of statesman who IL nominate
often enough, might eventually have q chsncs
10 put those repugnant principles into practice.
Clearly DR. Hemphill is entitled 10 complain
that bis many sacrifices have not been appre-
ciated. Though saddened and embittered he

SOCIALIST MADNESS IN SWEDEN

The expectations OF few days ago OF the
failure Of the universal" strike in Sweden an
pear TO be justified by increasing fulilment
Before the matter is dismissed however. II
may be worth while 10 emphasize for remem-
ORANGE one or two features of this extraordinary
episode as significant of the spirit in which
socialist agiiators and conspirators are proceed
Ing against not only the existing industrial and
political order, but also the ordinary principles
OF reason and right.
We have already mentioned the offer of the
Swedish government TO mediate and arbitrate
between the disputants, and the refusal of the
HorklngInen, or rather OF their socialist Ieaders
TO accept such service. 1t should be added tina r
while the employers were at first desirous Of
such arbitration before the strike began tbav
changed their tone after II began. and declared
their intention TO fight the matter ont v-itbout
governmental or other intervention Tberenno,
the government proclaimed It's complete non
rallty and its non-interyentiOn beyond the uoint
OF maintaining law and order But. In view or
the fact that many workingmen who wera on
the point OF striking were parties to contracts
which bound them not TO strike s,cept for thor
cause than any now presented. II reminded both
parties that breaches OF legal engagements
would offend public morality and outrage ius-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1909-08-22

tfce and would materially compromise the stnnd-
Ing Of those who were guilty OF them At that at
least one OF the trade unions proposed that the
antI-strike clause In It's contracts should be
temporarily suspended"i That Is to say. the
clause WAS to be nulllfied the moment there oc-
CURED the very contingency which 1t was de-
signed TO meet! We do not know that a crazier
exhibition Of socialist reasoning was ever made
OF course, II such counsels generally prevailed
no contract In the world would be worth more
than the paper on which II was written.
After that, and IN view of the fact that thou
sands of strikers are now focking back TO
work, it Is not 1t all surprising to be Informed
that the socialist leaders are indulging In IN
cendiary language" That was to be expected
From proposing most fragrant breach of con-
tract and Reputation of faith to melting vio-
lence is a short and easy step. But we do not
expect TO see many of the Swedish people take
it. They are not prone to that kind Of madness

The proposed American railroad in Asiatic
Turkey, from Sivas to Lake Van, would traverse
the headwaters of the Euphrates and roughly
parallel, at a long distance TO the north. the
German line which is being constructed through
Mesopotamia, though it would not be rival of
it or an Objectionable competitor with it. If it
were connected with Scutari and Smyrna by
way Of Angora it would open up Armenia and
Northern Kurdsten TO travel and trade, and
would do much to pacify and improve the con-
dition of those much troubled regions. while If
extended across Northern Persia or the south
borders of Transcaucasa TO the Caspian IT
would give better access to Central Asia than
the existing Russian line affords. AS to its
suggested extension to India, that Is indeed an
other story.
