Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan, who has long

thing like three billions of dollars. In
these days the world is inclined to look
with apprehension upon the centering
of SO great a financial might in the
hands of one man. We have been
accustomed for some years to hear Off
land prophecies that the time would
come when the people would take steps
to prevent the control of one man and
one mind over so great q portion of
the financial resources of the country.
The laws OF the land already forbid the
great corporations engaged in inter-
state commerce to acquire control over
competitors, regardless of the fact
whether they make good or bad use of
such power; it will be but a step, and
a short one, we are told, to extend the
restraints OF the law over the posses
sors Of great private fortunes.

use of by the enemies of the port Of

three times as deep as it is, there would
be but one way to avoid such accidents.
and that is the obvious one of keeping
to the channel. The Prairie Is not a

go. and there has been no time within
the last thirty years when it might not
