theless, confidence is steadily growing;
! and there is basis for the belief that the
politicians have come to understand that
conservatism and not radicalism is likely
to win in the next Presidential contest,
or at least a greater measure of conserv-
atisln than has been displayed in the last
four years.
As TO the trust question, the opinion
may herewith be expressed for what
it is worth that the Supreme Court
of our country will be likely to play con-
siderable havoc with any scheme for a
Federal commission 10 regulate trusts, -
even if the authority of this commission
is not pushed so far as to give 1t power
to fix prices, an authority that certain
economic theorists would like to see es-
tablished.
There are a good many people who do
not exactly understand what Judge Gary,
chairman of the board of directors of the
steel corporation. is driving at in his ex-
pressed ideas about a grant of a Federal
license to corporations, which could be
repealed or enlarged from time to time
a occasion might arise, the functions of
the new bureau to include at the same
time those of a fountain of information
to corporations and business men as to
just what they can or cannot do under
the Sherman law. The question might
perhaps be suggested to Judge Gary as
to what business men or corporations
would do if the definitions of the legality
or illegality of past or proposed acts af-
forded by the bureau should prove to be
unwelcome to the corporations concerned.
Would these corporations submit to such
definitions, or would they have recourse
to the courts? And If it is the courts
after all who are to settle the matter,
what is the need of setting up a new in
termediary?

MCNAMARA CASE
AID TO BUSINESS
Politicians Are No Longer So
Fearful of Labor.
By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, Dec. 3.-The confession of
the Mcnamara brothers at Los Angeles
is a matter of extreme Importance to all
business interests in the United States.
Perhaps the most important obstacle to
business reform has been the fact that
politicians were afraid of organized la
Dor. Although organized labor controls
small minority OF the votes of the
United States, the leaders were so ag-
gressive that the politicians were COM
pletely cowed and were afraid to enforce
laws against outrages of organized labor.
Every labor strike, especially on a rail-
road, is an open and fragrant defiance Of
the Sherman antitrust law. but the
United States government has been
afraid to proceed against the strikers.
1t was afraid to proceed against big
conspiracies of capital also, until one
heroic President actually tackled the
Standard Oil Company. The first victory
against the Standard Oil Company en-
couraged the attempt to enforce the
Sherman law against other capitalstic
offenders, and the unmasking of organ
lied labor's treacherous leaders will now
encourage the government to enforce the
law against labor.
True friends of organized labor rejoice
at the situation. The takers who have
been misleading laboring men and in
naming their minds against capital Will
now probably be retired and organized
labor. under decent leadership, will strike
hands with organized capital in an hon
orable campaign for prosperity.
The great capitalists have done many
things that deserve severe condemnation,
but organized labor is in no position to
criticise capital If the Mcnamara af-
fair makes the ordinary laboring man
realize how he has been duped for years,
the twenty-one victims Of the Los An
geles outrage will not have died in vain.
Now that the politicians are placed in
position where they may be brave enough
to deal justly with both capital and
labor, a great cloud has been lifted from
the financial horizon. The Sherman anti
trust law must not be repealed until
there is something proposed to take its
place. An important wing of the Demo-
cratic party has decided to attempt the
passage of a new section of the Sher-
man law, taking the place of the present
criminal section. This new section will
define the crime of suppressing competi-
ton so clearly that the business man
may know when he is committing that
crime. Such statute will be respected
and obeyed

One hundred and fifty Indians, some Of
them clad in the bright garb of their
native West. will meet in old Masonic
Temple to-day in a convention of protest
against the treatment they are accorded
by the Indian Office.
Certain hotels in the down town sec
ton of Washington last night began to
assume a wild West appearance as the
red men of the Chippewa and Usage
tribes, with other of the fast-vanishing
clans Of the Southwest, arrived in dele
cations of half a dozen preparatory to
the opening to-day.
That the grievances Of the Indians are
! many was shown in the statement made
last night by Charles A. Edwards, one
of the advocates of the reform in the
Indian Office.
Their Ambitions Halted.
MANY Indians" he said. wish to i'm
prove and farm their lands, and ask to
withdraw their money to buy live stock,
implements. and to maintain their fam
lies while they are making their crops,
but they are refused by the Indian Office.
They are told by the Indian Office
that II considers il is not conducive
TO their welfare and development for
, them TO hold councils and discuss sub
Jects concerning their interests. This Is
depriving them of their liberty, g1laran-
| teed to citizens of the United States. It
is not calculated TO develop that self-re-
lance and independence that all good Cit
| izens should have in themselves
''These aborigines of this country. most
all OF them now citizens of the United
States, Who pay taxes and are amenable
to the State laws wherein they live. are
treated as of a distinct and different
| class from citizens and really more like
prisoners of war.
Reason for Convention.
These people have nearly 100000 votes
in the several States where they reside,
and they finally have come to the conclu-
sion to utilize their votes in their own
interest. These are some of the reasons
why this national convention of Indians
is being held in the National Capital and
why the organization of the Brotherhood
of North Ameri .an Indians Is being per-
fected at this time.
Some people say it will be useless 10
organize the Indians, because they will
refuse to vote. as they have heretofore.
1t remains to be seen, however, whether
the Indian, after he has been educated
to the fact that the ballot is the only
weapon which will reduce his wrongs,
will then refuse To use it.
THE chances ::re that he will use it
and make a few politicians throughout
the West not only sit up All take nc
tice, tut get very busy in his interest

sold a cream-colored crash suit to a

DRAIN EVERGLADES
FOR FERTILE SOIL
Army Engineers Say Idea Is
Feasible One.

Drainage of the Florida Everglades,
through control of the overflow Of Lake
Okeechobee and the utilization of its
water for irrigation purposes, is abso-
lutely feasible. despite statements to the
contrary, according to a document recent
ly issued under Congressional provision at
the extra session last August.
Lake OkeechObee. which occupies a
large area in the heart of the Florida
! Everglades, is the chief obstacle encoun-
tered in draining the adjacent territory.
This involves the consideration of two
problems. The first is to build an en-
bankment about the lake. and the other a
plan for adequate and proper drainage Of
land when protected from overflow.
To Build Drainage Canal.
1t has been proposed to cut a drainage
canal from the lake to the Atlantic Ocean.
in place of the embankment, to carry off
the surplus water which gathers in the
lake during the rainy season. Lake Okee-
chobee is thought to be fed by subter-
ranean springs. Muck to a depth of near
ly fourteen feet prevails along the south
margin of the lake. Absence of suitable
material for an embankment in the To-
caIity would make this plan rather diff
ficult of achievement, and canal system
on a big scale is believed to be the logical
solution.
With the use of dredges, the muck might
easily be removed and solid material sub
stituted from the pine woods of the Ever
glades. Through a peculiar natural for
nation, the lake rises to a height of
twenty-five feet above sea level, and an
average depth of twelve feet prevails
along the line Of the proposed levee. Lake
Okeechobee drains an area of 4,OO0, 200
acres. Owing to an uneven distribution
of rainfall, which is particularly heavy
in the fall and summer, irrigation is nee
essary for cultivation of the land.
Irrigation NJ essary.
The character of the soil also makes ir-
rigation necessary to support and mature
plants. During the winter and spring
the precipitation is not sufficient to sup
ply the needs of growing crops in South
ern Florida II the ground water is too far
removed. The report on drainage condi-
tions is compiled from reports of promi-
nent engineers and agricultural experts
who have made a close study of the land
and who are thoroughly acquainted with
the possibilities of the subject.

At the Electric.

This week 'the people are swarming
to the Electric theatre and the little
place Just like home" is being taxed
to its utmost at every performance.
The reason for the large crowds are
that the motion pictures are above the
average of any heretofore shown and
are the best ever thrown on canvas.
The Sherrah's in their clever special
ties of mandolin-guitar playing com
bined with their negro melodies and
fancy dancing are really the big draw
ing cards, in fact they are full deck
and ace high, and are the cl everest so
far that have appeared on the stage of
this popular place of amusement. 1t
certainly behooves every loyal citizen
who is lover of good, clean vaudeville
to dig down in the pockets of his Sun
day jeans for loose dimes and spend
them tonight, tomorrow night and the
two nights following and hear and see
the Sherrah's who are worth two and
half times the price of admission.
