Such Inspector need not neces-

but paid for only the time engaged
in the inspection. which should be
once a year and perhaps senai-an-
nually.
The cost OF living is high enough
without the additional expense Of
light weights and measures and it Is
hoped the city viii take up and con-
slider the suggestion at an early
date.
notwithstanding that there may be
no shortage IN weighing and measur-

Inpartially and fully would bring

peoples wishes in the matter.

A Hark backward.

In the light OF President Taft's
message to Congress on the subject,
H seems very much like the cry to
repeal the Sherman anti-trust law is
a wall n behalf OF the big interests
and the monopolists. 1t IS a bark
backward instead of a cry Of
progressiyenes
The president plainly showed that
the supreme court DEGREES in the
Standard oIl and American Tobacco
trust cases have been effectual in
breaking up these mOnopolies. The
trusts were dissolved, the holding
companies were required to distrib-
ute stock OF subsidiary companies
among the stockholders and were
forbidden to acquire the stock OF
the concerns again, certain parts of
business engaged in solely by certain
companies were distributed among
various concerns so as to make COM
petition not only possible but nee
essary. and the different corpora
tions were enioined from conspirine
or combining to restore any monop-
oily.
It is not the purpose of the
law as newly construed to con-
hscate property, nor to prohibit the
transaction of business merely be-
cause of its size but simply to pre-
vent the stiaing of competition, the
enhancing OF prices and the estao-
lfshment Of a monopoly when such
is the purpose or necessary effect of
the maintenance of a combination
OF immense size Even If any o.
the stockholders Of the remaining
companies of the dissolved trusts
should attempt by concerted action
of their companies to control the
market they would Immediately be
subject to contempt proceedings
and imprisonment of summary
character.
The Sherman antitrust law can
be amended and the president be-
Ifeves certain amendments would
be OF distinct advantage, such as
prohibiting corporation from hold
ing the stock of other corporations
and providing for other regulations
ana limitations under a federal in
corporation act. But, when any one
seeks by a repeal of the antitrust
laws to undo all the good work
chat has been done and start all
over again when the experiences Of
two decades have brought us to
actual realization OF effectiveness In
the way of legal suppression. it IS
well to look to the motives thereof
and see whose axe is being ground.

The Rainbow Cllasers.

"A great deal of wind tanning
comes from democratic space killers
in Washington these days about the
wonderful things the Democrats are
going to do in Congress and about
the roseate chances their party has
of riding a candidate. into the
presidential chair at the next cleo
ton. These tales, however, are but
fantasies that Will rapidly be dis
PEELED.
In the first place, it is not likely
thing but quarrel over fractional DIFF
ferences during the present session
Of the Congress. The Democrats
are always going to do something
but never do it. only when they are
assured that what they do will go
for naught. In the second place. the
most of the Democrats who have al
ready nominated. elected and in
augurated a Democratic president
are in the same class with the rain
bow chasers.
OF course, with their majority in
the House and their late Senate ac-
cessions, the Democrats have gone
back to Washington in more buoy
ant spirits than they have pos
sessed in many day. The
sanguine members OF the clan. like
Tom HeAin, OF Alabama, and Ollie
James,, of Kentucky, think they have
already elected a president. 40 sort
of reasoning enters into their calcu-
lations. for they are Of the rainbow
chasing Brotherhood who always
proguosticate Democratic victory
simply because they want it that
way. The rude Jars they have been
getting all these years interfere not
at all with their vauntings.
They do not take into account sew
eraI important factors, first being
the matter Of dime. The election o.
a president is nearly a year away,
and between now and then much
water will flow over the dam. With
in a twelve-month the voters CT
America will have time for digest
ing the record of the present White
House incumbent and doing justice
to a singularly pure and broad
mined executive.
Another thing that the rainbow
chasers OF the James Helm school
do not take into consideration is that
the American people are dear lovera
of that trait which Mr.. Taft is a
perfect exemplar-a candor that is
absolute. The very fact that the
Presidents want of guile has led
him to say that he has made mis-
takes is going to be tower OF
strength. The opposition may
chuckle all it pleases, but the 81
lent, thoughtful citizen thinks ire
rnendously more OF the president
who says that he occasionally errS
than of the politician who is ever
hiding things that may be to MS
own detriment The President 70
as honest as the day Is long anu
knowing his frankness and SINGER
itv. the mass OF his countrymen are
willing to trust the man they know
TO one who may be all right and
then again may not. The Taft who
Is open and above board, who IS
straight and true and who is faith
ful to his ideals is the man to
whom the favor and confidence OF
his countrymen will revert with
such a wave of sympathetic ac-
acknowledgement that his prolongation
of Official life, is easy to foretell.

IS IMPERILLEO
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Whiting. Ind. Nov 15.-Directly in
the path of speeding Pennsylva
passenger train at it's 10th street
crossing in Whiting Monday evening a
horse drawing a frail milk cart stood
motionless in a sudden fit of balkiness
which placed the life of its driver,
Steve So""hak. in jeopardy.
After celebrating until the engine
was almost upon il the animal turned
completely around tipping the wagon
which was then struck from the rea
by the engine Senchak was thrown
thirty feet to the side of the road
where he lay unconscious for some
time His injuries were found to be
only bruises resulting from the fall
No sprains or broken bones We're found.
With the tearing of the harness the
horse was liberated and immediately
set out for his home. The wagon ac-
companied the engine for a hundred
yards where it parted with that de
stroying element as well as its own
component parts.

WATER LOW-JAM At
RAILROAD BRIDGES

The water in the Calumet river has
been nearly two feet below its natural
level since the storm Saturday night and
its condition was such last evening that
arrived tugmen refused to take her
through the railroad bridges until day
light The big heavy laden vessel was
accordingly compelled to tie up at the
docks Of the Iroquois Iron company
and remain there until this morning.
About $50 o'clock today she receiv-
ed a tow and started through the trio
of railroad spans. 1t took nearly an
hour for her to pass the railroad trains
on three roads passengers and
freights. including number of subur-
ban trainswere held up half an hour
or more.
The trip through the three draws
was especially perilous and was ac-
eomplished only after a great deal of
difficulty. Marine men say that they
have never known the water to be so
low. All year the water has been low.
but since the storm Saturday night
conditions have been more alarming
than ever.
Nearly twenty trains of all descrip-
tons are said to have been delayed by
the jam at the railroad bridges this
morning.-South Chicago Calumet.

PUBLIC LIFE
DULL IN GARY

For the past few days Gary has been
exceedingly quiet. Yesterday court
was postponed until O'Clock last night
probably in hopes that few arrests
would be made so that the lawyers and
prosecutors could make enough to buy
a soda cracker and cup of coffee.
This morning but one arrest graced
the police docket and no court was held
at all.
There is a deserted air about the city
hall. Mayor Knots and most of the
officials are at Valparaiso and public
business is at a standstill There is
also a quiet air about the city and
business deals are held back because
