HOW "WITCHCRAFT'' SAVED
A MAN TO HIS FRIENDS. ,

Five weeks ago a man was found
wandering dumbly and aimlessly
around Inc streets of New Haven.
They took him to a hospital as they
had taken many another like him be
fore They tried by all the known
tricks and traps TO get him TO tell some
thing about himself But they failed.
The man could breathe, but he
couldn't or wouldn't think. And, no
doubt. he would have been put away
somewhere as a hopeless case but for
the idea that came TO "A specialist 10
hypnotic him and try TO get IN touch
with his memory IN that way.
The experiment was tried last sun
day. and it resulted in a most crafty
ing success. Under hypnotic influence
the man recalled his life story. Instead
OF being sidetracked somewhere among
the ''unknowns," as he probably would
have been not 50 long ago. he will be re-
stored to his family
The case is said to have no parallel ln
medical science. But other men, and
many Of them, have been found IN just
such a state as this man presented
Their misfortune was that they had no
one TO awaken their memory and help
them to identify themselves. In the old
DAYS they would have had this doctor
/ up for witeheraft. Now a grateful
world applauds him for his skill and
his humanity.

HITS TRUST LAW

To the Editor Of The Washington Times.
Referring 10 your editorial OF Tues
day in regard TO the Texas antitrust
law decision. it might be well 10 call
attention TO the fact that the Supreme
Court merely said I'm effect that no con
stitutional provision had been violated
by the lower court. and that the de
PENDANTS had not been deprived OF any
OF their constitutional rights. ft did
not declare that the law was good or
bad. beneficial or Injurious. but &c -
quite likely that the members Of the
court had their opinions OF a law that
punished with imprisonment any man
who sold, as an agent. a trust-made
article even If he did not know that IL
was made by o trust and which pro-
vided that a States attorney should
receive three times as much for prose-
cutting such an offender as ne was paid
for prosecuting q mar charged with
murder furthermore, making 1T man
datOry that the attorney general OF
The State should go to the aid OF any
local attorney who thought he had
caught an offender in this drag-net law.
Because Of the loosely defined word
trust many concerns doing business
ln the state Cancelled their agencies
When the law went into effect tn Aug
usti 1907. with the result that local sell
Ing companies were organized thus
placing i'm the machiuer. Of distribution

casIon delays. II every State had such

could exist would be the kind that lin
tied their production TO meet the wants
or a single State This calling into
existence Of enforced competition would
permit OF concerns or small proportions
which would be unable 10 weather

In other words, the cooperation OF
Congress, not its sntagonism, is requi-
site to the full expression of the good
taste of the American people In the

to ask that cooperation, but will oh

CONGRESS AND THE COUNCIL

AS far as the executive departments
Gre concerned. the President has made
ths nation reasonably secure against

men similarly interested in another plot

NOT THE LARGEST BY
LONG CHALK!

The senate has provided that the
nav of the President Of the United
States shall be 100000 a year This is
not the largest salary paid the head of
any modern government. Not by a
long chalk!
Austria Hungary pays its Emperor
S8,s75,OOO.
Great Britain and Ireland pay their
King and Queen S2,35O,OOO. and allow
others of the royal family s56OOOO.
Italy paws its King S2,S5s 600.
Prussia pays her King S3.s46I2l,
Even the little Netherlands allow the
Queen s25OO0O and So, 500 for the
royal family.
America has no desire 10 maintain
castles. forests and estates for her Pres
ident. The national simplicity IS some
thing more than a name. But $50 900 IS
not an expression Of national sim
plicity. It is an expression Of national
! miserIiness and demagogism.
The sum allowed by the Senate is not
more than commensurate with the ex-
penses Of the office. It hardly exceeds
/ the total of allowances for the repre-
sentative of the English King accredited
to tho American Capital as an envoy
/ IF there Is any Representative who
thinks. in the light Of these facts, 20
make q favorable impression on his
people back home by crying out against
this allowance ON the ground of econo
my. ne knows mighty little about the
/ temper of the American people.
