LUD AMI UOIDY DECIES
ARE NOW IN EGYPT

Alexandria, Egypt, March 9.-Lord
Decies and his bride, the former Miss
Vivien Gould, arrived, on the Car
mania for a honeymoon tour of
Egypt. The couple will spend a shor,
time in Cairo, where they will be en-
tertained by the military friends of
Lord Decies, and will then start for
Upper Egypt and visit Luxor, Thebes,
Assouana and the island of Philae. 1t
is probable, IL the weather is not TOO
hot, that they will continue their
journey up the Nile as far as Wadi
Halfa, on the second cataract, and
from there taxi the express train
across the desert to Khartum, on the
White Nile. AS there are many Eng
lish and American friends of the cou-
pie now touring Egypt or wlntering
here, it is expected hat they will be
feted all along the line.
ord and Lady Decies expect to re-
turn to London by the first of May,
when they will take possession of
their new London house which Lord
Decies has leased for the
season.. Lady Decies will entertain
extensively during the London sea-
son. Lady Decles will probably be
presented to the king and queen at
one Of the courts held in May.

AMERICAN LEISURED CLASS.
minneapolis Tribune.)

The Gould families are about to
join the American leisured class. All
OF them belong to it already except
George, who kept going the immense
interests left by his father as well as
he could to accumulate Incomes for
the others to spend in profligacy or
charity.
Now even he is tired of that barren
toll, if 1t be not true that the extra
Vagances of his rakish sister, Anna,
broke down the defences carefully
built up by their father and admitted
a stock jobbing foray upon the Gould
stocks.
We have pointed out before that the
Gould railroads were the last family
property. The tendency of men who
either create or inherit these great
properties is to let stock control slip
away from them by transferring in
Vestment from f~luctuating stocks to
stable bonds, relying on their W
ability and the confidence of new
stockholders to keep them in Official
control.
n contrary tendency of human
energy n ability to decay under the
softening influence Of wealth and lux
ury soon or late supersedes them with
better men, as old kings of France
gave way to mayors of the palace.
The Vanderbilt family lasted longest
of any,. but the third generation of it
lost its grip IN the New York CEN
trail about 20 years ago.
The Gould family control lasted
Longer because their, piratical ances-
tor left them actual stock control
through a holding company of a big
and complicated system. We are in
clined to think that this control was
broken more by inefficiency and ex-
travagance, ending with the Pittsburg
Terminal and Western Maryland
bankruptcies of 1907 than by any in
dlscretions Of the frisky Anna.
However that may be, they have
given up the fight and will retire
from active business to lie on flowery
beds of coupons. We shall never have
a dignified and Industrious leisured
class in this country until we man.
age somehow to create a landholding
aristocracy with some device to give
ii the permanence secured by the law
OF entail in Great Britain.
and seems to be the only kind of
property requiring active business
management which average business
ability can hold out against excep-
tional talent generation after genera
ton.

President Gooding of the National

leading attorneys of Idaho, to pres
ent the case of the western sheepmen
to the Interstate Commerce Commas

points. President Gooding appeared
before members of the Interstate

was given assurance that the sheep
mans case would be heard.

western points to Boston, Philadelphia
or New York city, are considered con-

the railroads as an extremely desir-
able class of freight, is o injured

commodities in the same class.
The National Wool Growers asso-
citation is going to prosecute the ques-
ton of reduced rates vigorously to a
final and equitable settlement, for
present low prices of sheep, the tar
if agitation, resulting in reducing
the price of wool, have made the
condition of the sheepmen ~unenviable,

that they be dealt with fairly by the
railroads.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Asserting

law matter congress had never
placed there, Senator La Foleltte to-
day introduced and discussed in the

La Follette's trust measure places
the burden of proof in antitrust

"The rule of conscience" he said,

unearthed what appeared to be a
serious condition OF affairs, received
today an opinion from Attorney

That discrepancies in the text of

to be, however, that the discussion OF

point. and that the entire line up of
