THE FOLLY OF FEDERAL LlcEN-
SES-
(rrom the New York World }

(Ffom the New York WORLDLY
No money consideration was in
volyed in the acquisition of the Ten
nesee Coal and Iron Company by
the United States Steel Corporation.
Tennessee Coal and Iron stock was
exchanged for Steel Trust 5 per cent
second mortgage bonds.
This is the transaction which Mr.
Roosevelt personally licensed. as he
says. to prevent a panic" This is
the transaction which. in the opinion
of Mr.. Perkins in his testimony be-
fore the Senate judiciary Committee,
stopped the panic"
When asked by Senator Clark how
the mere exchange of Steel Trust
bonds for Tennessee Coal and Iron
stock produced this effect, Mr.. Per-
kins answered.:
Whether or not the Steel bonds
We're intrinsically any better than
the Tennessee Coal and Iron
stock was not SO much the ques-
ton as it was that the public
thought they were.
OF course the public had nothing to
do with the matter. 1t was entirely
Wall street transaction in which
the members of the Tennessee Goa
and Iron syndicate were artistically
squeezed and compelled to release
their property to the Steel Trust. Sim
liar things have been done before
but this is the first time Presi
dent of the United States was evei
used as pawn in the game.
Attorney-General Bonaparte, hard
working and faithful servant to the
President, who undertakes to fint
q law for anything that Mr.. Roose
welt sees fit to do, is confident tha
/, the transaction was not in violation
OF the antitrust act. There are bet
.,tsr lawyers In the United States Sen
1 ate who take another view, hut what
ever the legal aspects Of the cas-
may be. the country is indebted Il
,,Nlr. Roosevelt for his convincing dem
onstration Of the danger and foil.
of Fedreal license system.
Most persons assumed that th'
Steel Trusts enthusiastic support o
the Republican national ticket las
J, fall was due to the tariff. We know
now that officers and directors of th
Trust had a still more important mo
tive for contributing to the Republi
can campaign fund. If Mr.. Brya
J, had been elected he would have re
fused to recognize the legality Q
this Roosevelt license and woul
!, probably have instituted proceeding
against the Trust under the Shel
man law.
y A Federal license system such a
Mr.. Roosevelt proposes would dra
every large corporation into natio1
al politics and make the Presidenc
|os the United States the football c
J, organized capital. If he could author
ize this Steel Trust transaction witt
out any warrant of law whatever
what might have ben expected {
him on the eve of a national ele,
i, tion had he been intrnsted with tn
!, lpower of life and death over ever
great corporation engaged in inte
!, state commerce?

Tho Human Temperature.

Put to the test of the thermometer.

ture of the body is almost tnSariable,
regardless of latitude or season, put
ting the bulb of the thermometer uli-
der the tongue of an Eskim55 at the
frozen north or of n man ufi1fr the

in each case, the body being in a state
of health, the temperature isabout the
same, the difference not amounting TO
degree. We may say absolutely that
the average normal temperature of

A day in festal colors dressed
To honor one who knew not play,
Nor ever tasted rest.

The Oahu College Play.

Before the curtain rises, and be-
tween acts. Saturday evening in c. r.
Bishop Hall, the Oahu College orches-
ira will make its initial appearance.
This orchestra was organized several
weeks ago by a number of students
of Oahu College who are interested in
music. From time to time Mrs. Err
nest Ross. the violin instructor at the
college, and Miss Carolyn Sheffield
have assisted the boys in their efforts.
This organization has made very rapid
strides since the first rehearsal and
many will be surprised at the excel
lence of the music Saturday evening.
Rehearsais have been frequent, and
none of the old tunes which everyone
knows will be heard.
The rehearsals for the play have
been taking place regularly this week,
and the cast viii be in the best of
shape for the performance Saturday
evening.
AS the proceeds of this performance
are to go toward helping the college
athletic association. many of those who
take delight in watching the inter-
scholastic. games on Alexander field
have shown their desire to further
good sport by taking number of the
tickets, which have been selling very
rapidly this week, and are still selling
at the Bergstrom Music Co. This
well-known comic drama, "a Scrap of
Paper" ought to surely draw large
house, for it numbers among the most
popular comic dramas written.

Sailors Lose Out.

Shipping Commissioner Amy yester,
day investigated the charges made by
members of the ship Dirigo's crew
against the GRUB, and found out
that they were groundless. The inves-
tigation was held on board the Dirigo.
j. NJ. Levy, the King street grocer,
accompanied Almy, and, after an inves,
tigation, stated that the food taken
on board the ship at Delaware Break,
water was all right and that it APP
peared to still be in good condition.
What small differences there were with
regard to the slop-ehest account were
quickly settled by Almy.
A couple of the sailors of the Dirigo
came up to the Advertiser Office in an
intoxicated condition late yesterday af-
ternoon and complained of their treat
ment at the hands of the arbitrator
They were rather strenuous for few
minutes. but made their getaway when
the police were called.

TO REPLACE BURNED FORESTS.

An effort is to be made by the
Forest Service at Washington to
replace, for the benefit of a future
generation, large areas of forest
destroyed by the fire. Experiments
in planting are to be made at once.
and the most successful of these
experiments will be followed in the
practical and extensive replenish-
ment program. This work is to
be undertaken on the assumption
that the country is now-or oon
will be -educated to the economy
of spending whatever is necessary
to project forests sgaint fire. All
that has been expended in the
Forestry Service from its beginning
is but a small item as compared
with the saving of the service in
FIRE protection alone.
