gitimate combination, to understand
Just what is contemplated by those
who stand for the modification of
the Sherman law.
During the panic the steel trust
met to discuss prices and to decide
whether fluctuation should be per-
mitted in steel to accommodate the
prevailing tendency. 1t was decided
to maintain a stable equilibrium, and
throughout the crisis there was no
variation whatever in the price OF
steel. The steel trust was so thor
oughly master of the situation that
by vote 1t could determine the mar
ket Of the most important single
product sold in the United States.
The question is not whether this
control of steel was for the good q.
injury OF the market or of the con
sumner. The question is whether the
people can afford to trust it to any
board of directors to decide without
appeal. If the directors of the steei
crust have this rgiht the directors
Standard Oil have the same right
until in the end the directors of so:.
one vast holding company may have
the right to fix prices for everything
made or handled by corporation.
1t may be found that cons olidation
is the part of wisdom and that the
enforcement of the Sherman law is
not the last word to be said. But
preliminary to such consolidation as
Is represented in the steel trust
there must be some public inspection
and public regulation that will pro.
tect the market place. The enforce
ment Of the Sherman law, more than
anything else. will bring business me-
to see that this is so. When there
is national incorporation law, SO
guarded that fraud is impossible un-
der it, limiting stock and bonds to
money actually invested, preventing
stock manipulations, and insurins
safety to the investor, and fair con-
sideration for the buyer. then the
Sherman law will have served its
purpose.
Until that time the more strictly
the Sherman law is enfpoced and the
more holding companies as we now
have them that are disbanded, the
better.

WHEN TRUSTS WILL BE SAFE

(From the Register and Leader.)
The Wall Street Journal presents
the argument for unrestricted con.
solidation of business in the follow,
ing comment on the Standard Oh.
decision:
IF the latest Interpretation of the
Sherman antitrust act is sustained
by the supreme court, the law must
oe amended.
The commanding commercial posi-
ton of the United States is due to
the strength and efficiency of its in
dustrial combinations. The usual ef,
feet of such combinations has not
been a restraint of trade" using
the words in their ordinary sense.
Congress, when enacting this law.
was not seeking to prevent 200 shoe
factories in Brockton from consolidat-
ing, reducing their manufacturing
costs, improving their combined cred
it and expanding their output.
Hence the surprise when the court
of appeals in the tobacco case ruled
that a consolidation of any two
competing companies was illegal be-
cuse the elimination of their COM
petition was restraint Of trade"
Now it is held that the combina-
ton of any two or more corporations
engaged in the same line of bust
ness, though not actually competing
is restraint of trade" because
while uncombined. they are potential
sources of competitian.
1t is no longer a question of gooA
and bad trusts. There is strong pop
ular feeling that the. Standard OIL
company has repeatedly employed sun,
fair and illegal methods in attampts
ing to monopolize the industry. But
the decision goes against 1T not be-
cause it has employed such methods
but solely because it is combination
Of several separate corporations.
Every holding company and hun
dreds of other corporations through
out the country from the steel cor
poration down. whose business meth
DDS are and always have been honor
able, are in precisely the same situ-
alton. To disrupt them, and this
construction of the law requires it.
would be to demoralize the business
the country TO no good end.
1t is TIME. for eonsress to declare
that business combinations which
eliminate wasteful competition, with
out interfering with the freedom of
competition, which tend to increase
rather than restrict trade, are law
full"
1t Is not necessary to 60 further
for illustration than the steel trust,
which. the Journal refers to as . 10.

And never must they, dear Santa,
give way,
To new-fangled autos and wild
flying things.
So come with your reindeer,
Your sweetmeats and grin, and
your beard of snow white;
With your fat and your furs, Your
jolly aplomb,
And in the small hours of Christ
mas Eve night.
We will longingly wait till the dawn
ing Of day,
With trust in the stocking and
faith just as leal,
But come as dear Santa, and corae
in your sleigh,
And not in honking old auto
mobile.

SPOILED CORN AND PELLAGRA.
(James E. Downing in Wallaces
To r,,,ar

\SoAAANo L. OoWAlA6 III w dlldSSS
Farmer.)
A serious Indictment has been rem
dered against corn in connection with
the disease known as pellagra, few
cases of which have been recently
discovered in. the United States. The
charges contained in the Indictment
are based on the fact that this dis
ease has not been discovered in coun-
tries where corn is not generally
raised. OF the foreign countries
where it has found the most victims,
Italy and Roumania claim first atten
ton, and it is pointed out that it has
been traced to the use of spoiled corn
as human food.
Last yea there were consumed as
human food in one form and another
by the people of the United States
80, O,000. 300 bushels. The early chroni-
cles of Virginia contain many de-.
scriptions of the cultivation of corn
and other plants by the Indians:
and in very early days in the

settlers how to plant and till corn.
Subsequently corn and civilization
have gone hand in hand down to the
present time, in this enlightened age
were presumed to know good from
bad food, yet students tell us that
much of the quantity of corn consum-
ed last year was spoiled. An explina-
tion for this assertion is found in a
recent address by Carl L. Alsberg, NJ.
D., an expert in the Bureau of Plant
Industry of the Department of Ag-
riculture,
Varieties of corn planted have
been changing consi 'erabie n
last decades. In ten generate

change in the oil content may we'll

WORK FOR CONGRESS-.
Defects in Pure Food Law to be
Remedied at Next Session.

When Congress meet5' in December
one of the questions to be thrashed
ou' vill undoubtedly be the revision
o. Co.,. food laws to meet the de-
MANI, =. general body of con-
sumers ro. oh. her improvements
in the methoue = many
food factories.
One of the points overlooked. ir
the original act was the treatment
of peaches and apricots in canning
plants. 1t is the practice of many can
neries to immerse peaches in "a
boiling solution of caustic soda and
allow the fruit to stew in this chem
ical until the skins of the fruit ara
eaten loose. The fruit is then put
through several washings until the
skins are washed away This pro.
cess is about a cent and half or
two cents can. cheaper than peeling
by knife. Those who are calling at
tention to this chemical treatment
say that the use of the lye Is not the
worst feature of the process, but con-
tend that in order to use this cheap
peeling process it is necessary to use
green and unripe fruit for cannines
Ripe fruit will not stand the lye-
process but. becomes diseolored and
disintegrated in. the caustic soda. The
little flavor which the unripe peach
es have is killed by the lye treat.
ment so that the result is a woody
tasteless, canned peachwhich depends
for flavor on the syrup which is add.
ed in the canning process.
The way to tell lye-peeled peach
Is to wash away. the syrup and then
taste the fruit. If it is tasteless and
pulpy the chances are. it is lye-peel.
ed peach.
In the several washings to which
the peach is subjected after it is
peeled by I've, most of the. chemical
is undoubtedly. washed away but iiI
any of it is left the consumer gets
it with his fruit.
Congress did not mention this sub.
ject in the pure food laws, conse-
quently the Gamers using this meth
cd are not compelled to state the fact
on their labels. The present agita.
ton has for its purpose the enact,
ment of measure to remedy this
defect.
If this movement proves successful
every Gamer will have to state on
his label If the peaches he useo
were peeled by causticS soda or any
other chemical. That of course will
put the question right up to the cbn-
sumer. If they would as soon eat
fruit which has been soaked in lye
they can do so. Many of course will
prefer to have their fruit handled ir
the good old fashioned kitchen way,
by knife-peeling, which also mean;
much for the quality of canned fruit
by keeping intact the original fruit
flavor.
The last two years have seen a
great advance in the methods user.
in various canneries and with the
new law a still further advance ir
the direction of wholesome produa
tons will be assured. When tt
processes employed in canneries ar
known to be perfectly wholesome,
there will be a greater use of can
aed fruits and the final result viii
be profitable for all concerned, in
cluding the farmer who will get &
greater market for his product.

SNOW CRYSTALS.


BY Isabel s. Mason.
The mystic Genius of the air
+ Hath loosened all her stars
And strung their chains of fantasy
Across the cedar bars.
A storm Of myriad crystal flowers,
With breath the pulse to stir,
Wild blooms thnt CLINT the rabbits co.,,
And gem the squirrel's fur.
They glisten DER the rising hills,
And traced across their light,
There shines the track of Reynards seal
Escutcheoned on the white.
And where the crust the rigid bole
hear the Pecker tap;
Against the silver fastened door
He hangs his crimson cap.
A scren of vital dancing stars,
Across the field they blow;
waif rainbows dropped from opal skies,
Enchanted into snow.

s. 35, Paris 0.

The purple and white aggregation re-
sumed gridiron operation Oct. 1, by
playing shutout game with Hunting
don
The opening up was sluggish and ex-
tremely procrastinated, but revealed
certain points not altogether ininterest-
ing.
The 1907 lineup, with the addition OF
G. Wilson at half and Carter at quarter,
has again come forward and promises
premiere cIasse work during the season.
Carter has shown strong propensities
at his position and many of the men
brought over from last year are much
the better for wear. Mitchell at half
and 'Honeycutt on end will doubtless
90 through the season as stellar perfor-
mers and form much of the elevens
| life. Neverless the team minus anyone
of its present makeup would be extreme
ly crippled and unable, and in no way
can wreaths be bestowed upon few to
the exclusion of all. We are said to
have the best set of backs and the
strongest line of any prep. school in the
country and have so far corroborated
the assertion. Last Saturdays cram
BILE with Paris, in which successful at
tempt was made in paying the foe
back for old scores, was featured by the
work of fullback Wilson, Mitchell,
Honeycutt and Glenn. The opponents
inability to plough the Purple and
White breastwork made it necessary
for them to resort to punts and passes,
but Honeycutt, Mitchell, Carter, and
Wilson would not permit this to work.
Upon scuffie within few feet of the
enemy's goal line, the ball was scooped
up by Glenn, who created a sensation by
carrying it the length of the field for a
touchdown. This was the only break
in the evenings course OF pounding and
plunging, in which r. Mitchell and D.
Wilson were central figures. No goals
were kicked to increase the score of the
seven touchdowns made.
The defensive work of the opponents
could hardly be improved upon. Their
field work showed strenuous application,
to say the least, and Capt. Honeycutt's
eleven will have its hands full when
it runs across them again.

Window Display.

One of the most attractive windows
in Union City is that of Bransford &
Andrews, the dependable jewelers. and
opticians The window contains some
of the rarest specimens of genuine Pick
ard China and choicest designs in cut
glass to be found in any of the great
centers. There is another window show
ing the popular new jewelry creations.
The goods are selected from headquar-
tiers in the particular lines from depart
ments where only the highest class ar
ticles are to be seen. Bransford q
Andrews made it possible to find at
home what local dealears in other
towns cause shoppers to seek in larger
markets. 1t is one of the advantages
which Union City merchants generally
have offered to the trade that bring us
the best class of buyers and shoppers
from the various neighboring towns, and
Bransford & Andrews are not losing
such an opportunity.

Westminster Abbey Going Broke.

English people were startled recently
by the announcement that the finances
of Westminster Abbey were in a livery
bad way, and that it had become neces-
sary to suspend one of the six canonries
of the abbey on the score of economy.
Agricultural depression is the chief
cause of the straits of England's pam
theon. The land on the rents of which
it is dependent are situated in the coun-
try, and the rent of agricultural land
has been falling steadily in recent years.
St. Paul's, unlike the abbey, has rich
estates in and near London, which are
constantly approaching in value. The
cost of keeping the abbey in repair, too,
is heavy, and the structure has begun
recently to show the effects of the Lon
don climate in an increasing degree.

Cotton Coming.

The Union City Ginning Company
has already turned out a number of
bales of cotton, and the bins are practi-
cally full of cotton. Little reckoned we
that this would be cotton market, but
with very little prospects to start with,
the gin has already done a good bust
ness. Cotton has been ranging between
four and half and five cents for some
days and is still high, Notwithstanding
the mills are putting out dope" to de-
press the prices. The Union City gin,
if success keeps up this year, will be a
hummer next Quite a lot of cotton
will be put in, and instead of corn
and wheat country this will be corn
and cotton country.

The Independents Sold Out.

The Obion County Telephone Com
pany has sold its assets to the Cumber-
land Telephone & Telegraph Company
and dropped out of the struggle for eX-
istence. 1t is claimed by the officers
and members of the company that a
compromise was effected whereby the
Cumberland Company pledges better
service to its patrons in the county and
free service to all parts of the county,
including reduction of the farmers
rates and better county connections.
The sale includes car load of poles and
some other material on hand.
