URGENT NEED OF FREER TRADE
Too Many Combinations Squeeze the
American Consumer.
TndiapapoIia Mana


We may differ as to the question Of
free trade with foreign nations, but there
can be no doubt of the desirability of a
good deal freer trade among ourselves than
we now enjoy. Greed has interposed many
obstacles between the people and their
source of supply Too many men and or
ganizations take toll Of lifes necessities
before they reach the consumer Con-
sumers, not being organized in their ca
pacity as consumers, 1t ls most difficult
for them to protect themselves against
extortion or to maintain their rights.
Therefore the government-is under, pc
culiar obligation to enforce any laws en-
acted for their protection. This, Of course
IL the animating purpose OF the suit
against the lumber trust. The govern
ment has been at work for a year gather
ing evidence, so we suppose 1t feels
reasonably sure OF its ground. Those who
were so fearful that the administration
might run amuck' In it's fight on trusts,
and 30 disturb business, can now feel no
alarm, for have they not been assured
that no combinations would be disturbed
unless they 'unreasonahly'' restrained
trader These people can have no objection
to the prosecution Of trusts that are In
reality trusts under tso recent interpreta-
ton OF the antitrust law.

Magic of Publicity.

st. Louis and Baltimore, two of the
strong, conservative cities that bor-
der on the southland, are planning
campaigns of growth and expansion,
disappointed and dissatisfied with the
progress made in the last decade.
Both recognize judicious advertising
as their modus operandi. They real
ize that any advancement they make
must be along industrial lines and to
achieve that they must advertise their
homemade articles of commerce
Wider distribution of manufactured
products and the creation OF new
markets depends upon how well known
they make their wares This the pro-
moters In both cities recognize at the
outset. II is a tribute to their wis
dom, for every city that has made
noteworthy progress by means OF inn
provement campaigns has relied upon
the magic power OF publicity.
Kansas City, the alert next door
neighbOr TO st. Louis, whose example
OF prodigious progress is at once a
rebuke and a stimulus to ST. Louis,
long ago appreciated the value Of the
right sort Of advertising. Omaha has
and Is reaping benefits from It, Both
St. Louis and Baltimore have remark

open stair tenements have the advantages
also that their entrance and exit ways are
