TIME TO TIME THAT TONGUE.

Why is 1t trains must slack up speed
When they run through a town
And autos have to slack up, too,
When constables are round?
If this is law and law is made
With justice to all men
It's time that limit is put on
The speed of others then.
Now. there's that gossip with her tongue
That whizzes through a town
And in a half second runs
hundred people down.
And there's that liar that can lie
Faster than horse can trot
I've heard him kill hundred men
With just one shot.
Now. I know the latest stop watch
Can't keep tab upon her tongue,
And the liar knocks all records
just allyn with one lung
But. say, aren't laws for buzz cars
Really, simply all bOmbast
When they let these tongues joy ride
around
And kill US off so fast?

LAMP TRUST
COVE EMINENT BEGINS THE FIGHT
AGAINST MOST PERFECT
MONOPOLY IN COUNTRY.
Electric Lamp Manufacturers Have
Indicated That They Will Cease
Combine Operations II They
Are Allowed TO.

Cleveland, O., March 3.--Tae United
States government began here today
a fight against what is alleged to be
one of the most important important
and complete monopolies in the coun-
try. when suit was filed against thir-
ty-five concerns engaged in the mans.
facture of incandescent electric lights.
The National Electric Lamp Gem
pany, which has its headquarters here
and the General Electric Company OF
New York, are named as two of the
defendants and are charged with be-
ing the keystone of the trust, which.
has ITS ramifcations in every state in
the union
According to the governments petit
ton the defendant companies are
banded together in conspiracy in
restraint of trade and have already
gained control of 81 per cent of the
country's supply of electric lights.
| The trust is alleged to nave had its
origin soon after 1894, the year in
which the United States patents on
carbon flament incandescent lamps
expired
BY 1906 a combination known as
the Independents Lamp Manufacturers
Association is charged with having
obtained control of the lamp output
and fixed prices allotted business ami
prescribed rules of sale for its mem
bers. Th General Electric Company
of New York is stated to have owned
l75.2 per cent OF the stock in this COM
bination, which is accused OF obtain
ing exaorbitant profits by restraining
trade and forcing high prices.
The petition asserts that the profits
of the combination as paid in divi-
dends were $4,000 in 1904, s260.O00
in 1909 and 100000 In 1910. Last year
the company is said to have held ST.
439, 1888 as an undivided surplus.
The capital is now listed at $4,000. 900.
The extent of the industry which Is
thus brought under fire in tae gov
