MESSAGE Of
The. PRESIDENT
CONTINUED from yesterday

Generally in the Industrial combina:
lions called trusts the principal bust
ness is the sale of goods in many states
and in foreign markets-in other words,
the interstate and foreign business far
exceeds the business done in any one
state. This fact will justify the fed
eral government in granting federal
charter to such combination to make
and sell in interstate and foreign COM
merce the products of useful manufac
ture under such limitations as will Sc
cure compliance with the antitrust
law. It is possible SO to frame stat
ute that, while it offers protection to
federal company against harmful. vex
atious and unnecessary invasion by the
states. it shall subject it to reasona
BILE taxation and control by the states
with respect to its purely local bust
ness. y r.. - ~

The antitrust act is the expression
Of the effort Of freedom loving peo-

For twenty years or more this stat
ute has been upon the statute book.
All knew its general purpose and tap-

cynical over it's assumed Impotence.
It seemed impossible of enforcement.
Slowly the mills Of the courts ground.
and only gradually did the majesty Of
the law assert ITSELF Many Of its
statesmen-authors died before it be-

hoped to destroy. Now its efficacy is
seen; now its power is heavy; now it's
object is near achievement. Now we
hear the call for it's repeal on the plea
that it interferes with business pros

It is said that the act has not done
good. Can this be said in the face Of
the effect of the Northern Securities
decree? That decree was in mo way
so drastic or inhibitiye in detail as Ell

ment toward the control Of all the
railroads Of the country in single

not have been healthful influence in
the republic, even though exercised
under the general supervision of an
interstate commission.
Do we desire to make such ruthless
combinations and monopolies lawful?
When all energies are directed, not to-
ward the reduction of the cost of pro-
duction for the public benefit by
healthful competition. but toward new
ways and meas, for making perma-

then individual enterprise and effort
will be paralyzed and the spirit Of

nor did she appear later in-the

opening chorus and the dancing

that she would appear for her

At last, the violins began to
whisper the well-known air-the
lights burned low, draperies

was stranger who tripped grace
fully out upon the stage. Biff
rose blindly, reached for his hat,
and stumbled out into the air, car
rying his anguish with him.
The next day, he was sitting on
the grass in front of the bench,
blowing up his wind pad. Between
efforts, Biff glanced at certain

bought the tickets himself and
sent them to her home.
An afternoon paper fluttered
down from the upper tier of the
grand stand and fell in front of
the bench.

picking up the sheet.
There were two pictures on the

Merry's jaw sagged as he look

ed the paper carefully and tucked
it into his hip pocket.
Its kill or cure!" he said. "I'll
take chance!" And later he re-
marked to himself: That's one
way of busting it up, all right"
Biff continued to blow into the
wind pad and glance at the vacant
box.
Biff went to the bat in the Sec
ond inning. After he had selected
his stick, Merry took him by the
elbow and spread the paper in
front of his eyes.

Kissed. Now, let's see whether
you're a man, a mouse, or a long

Biff stared at the paper for a

Football Game
Is Called OFF

It looks like no game next Sat
urday for the football team of the
High school. Bellingham, with
whom a game was scheduled, de-
cided that they did not want to
be run up and down the field, and
cancelled the game. A game will
probably be scheduled with one
of the local colleges.
Barcke, left guard of the elev-
en-, is today hobbling around on
a sprained ankle, the result of the
game Saturday. He was hurt In
the first quarter but kept on
gamely playing till Towne was
substituted in the last few min
utes of play. His injury will,
however, be well healed by the
time of the next game.

Strange as it seems to baseball
students-particul to those
living in the territory known as
New York, fans the country over
believe the Athletics will win the
series.
There is only one answer to
this, and it is that the fans at large
like hitting. The Athletics have
the reputation of being a heavy
batting team and the public is
with them.
You can talk inside baseball,
superiority of pitchers or of catch
ers. speed on bases-anything you
see fit, to the man in the bleachers
and when you're through he will
ask you-''Can they hit?"
And he has you up tall pine.

Is as fine as fuzz, and the team
whose members can't walk up to
the plate and hit the ball when
hits are worth 60 per cent can run
for Sweeney - but they won't
carry any of Mr.. Peoples money
The value of good pitching
combined with hard-hitting, was
never more fittingly demonstrated
than when the Athletics put the
Cubs away in the 1910 series.
Inside baseball and the other
things that made the Chicago
team the class of the National
league went, when Davis, Collins
& Co. began Strengthening out the
kinks in the benders of the Chi
cago pitchers.
And this is why the Athletic,
are favorites over the Giants, de

base runners and despite Muggsy
McGraw, himself a host on of
fensiye play.

Mack is planning several years
ahead-like' the able business man
he is. The only time he was fool
ed was last year. He had planned
to win the American league pen
nant with his new team in 1911.
His youngsters fooled him. They
won it a year ahead of Mack's
schedule, and then won the world S
championship, merely to show that
there was no mistake about it.
Mack expects to win the pennant
again in 1912. But beyond that
no one could get him to prophesy.
Twenty years may elapse before
Connie Mack wins his last pennant.
He was born Dec. 90, 1852.

Speaker Almon immediately upon the passage of the above measure reported in behalf of the committee on rules. The report contained in the neighborhood of a dozen or more special order bills.
