Wonderful Story Put Up by Owner

 Willis Cobb, the circus man, told this story:
 Years ago he was travelling through the South with wagon tent show and the press agent among other glow ing accounts of whats coming" an- nounced a herd of twenty came1s from the sandy desert of Arabia"
 When the show reached town, in- stead of twenty, there was but one sickly camel. Some of the country newspapers paid no attention to this slight discrepancy, but when Cobb en- tered the office of Georgia country editor he was mad enough to fight
 q saw your parade, sah,' said he. "and you lied to our people. I've good mind to roast you. Where are your twenty camels you made my paper say you've got in your show"
 I'll tell you how it was," explained Cobb. When we passed the swamp on the way here 1t was full of alliga- tors, and without the slightest warn ing they leaped upon the bank and devoured all but one of the camels. We put up a brave fight, but 1t was no use"
 The editor gazed at Willis a couple of minutes and then said: You're good one You ought to be a Georgia editor. Come out to my house to din ner to-day. I want to introduce my wife to the biggest liar on earth. She'll be glad to meet you"

There Is no doubt that modern in- dustrial development tends irresist- ibly to large corporate organizations and to affiliations which will reduce the friction of competition where pow erful interests are liable to come into conflict with destructive effect But the working of such a system cannot be safely left to the will of those who devise and direct its operation It must be subject to regulation, to re- uuirements and prohibitions of law, at once effective and enforcible. The ad- justment of regulation has not kept pace with the development, and they must somehow be brought into har- mony by adaptation to secure the ben eft of development without an abuse of the power that accompanies it or the sacrifice of rights and interests that fall in its way.

John Stewart Kennedy's magnificent bequests to religion, education and philanthropy place him at once in the front rank of princely benefactors. His thirty millions compare favorably with the outpourings even of a Rockefeller or Carnegie. especially when we take Into account the charities of his life time. MT. Kennedy gave quietly while he was alive, and probably kept back his final vast gifts because it is im- possible to give away such a fortune and do 1t quietly. Thereby, it is true, he lost the chance of seeing his name in the newspapers every day and play ing the much-quoted oracle on every conceivable topic of the times. We do not say that a taste for such things Is reprehensible. Possibly a man does well to bestow his benefaction while he is still on the spot to see that the right use is made of them. But it is impossible not to admire the older tra- litions which looked upon charity as business involving only the giver and the taker and not the reporter and the camera man as well. There are still many more examples of the old type among us than the world sus- poets. The death of Kennedy or Jeanes reminds us of the fact.
