piled Mr.. Hearst. There are four
names mentioned and prominently dis.
cussed. One, Mr. Harmon OF Ohio,
put out of the question on the ground
that he is too conservative. l think It
would be impossible to secure the Sc:
lection OF, second edition of Judge
Parker by the Democratic masses.
"Then there is Woodrow Wilson.

time ago was exerting his ability In

IS THERE A MONEY TRUST?
Community of Interests May Be Sift-
 ed By Federal Government
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Tie word trust as applied to bust ness combinations became prominent Tn
 this country in connection with the Stand
 ard Oil company about quarter of A century ago. It was a system devised by
 which large number of corporations could be combined and made practically
 one concern by placing the stock of the
 various auxiliary companies in ehe same hands, to be held fin trust for special purposes and all voted by the same au- thority. From this circumstance the worc trust has come to have a wide popular meaning, and every monopoly or romDi-
 nation or community of interest is com monly called a trust" in default of any
 more convenient term.
 Every body knows what the term means.
 And yet when a newspaper speaks of the
 money trust as a convenient term. to denote the enormous power held by q few financers and capitalists. Blanche, Tray and Sweetheart. all with voice, he- gin to howl that there is no such hing as a money trust Strictly speaking. there is not. II has no definite organiza ton,
 no incorporation, and no directors. It Is
 what is commonly called a mInity
 of interests But 1t is so well defined and understood that according to report the
 federal authorities are considering action
 to prevent the further standardization of
 bank control in New York city, the finan- | lcial center of the United States.

Ithat maiden race, but 1t Is conceded that it was little short of 100000. It might have been more had the stable had the confidence in Roseben that Roseben oe- served Gates had made all arrangements for the Killing" but Roseben got a :rifle ''off his feed within 24 hours of the race, and a stable companion, Rudabeck, was started to aid him, both horses being coupled. Roseben won easily.
 Gates in special eoups and in stake races was a terror, but as an indiscriminate bet ter he was welcomed rather than feared. On the whole, both in this country and in England it is doubtful If he won in all Sl O00,oo0 and out of that sum there were princely donations to owners and trainers. On two occasions the stewards of the Jockey club asked him to refrain fl om such betting as would tend to sensational stories, and he accepted their suggestion One of these occasions was at Saratoga, when he bet s50,O00 on Molly Brant.
 Gates, while a bit bizarre, always was natural, and at Saratoga he particularly shone. He bet in the most sensational way, had the fastest automobiles, gave the finest luncheons in the clubhouse and the most elaborate dinners at the lake, and was by far the most spectacular play CT at Canfields when it was at it's zenith. Sporting and fashionable Saratoga went to bed when he ''cashed h." and they awoke while he was breakfasting.

THE TIDE WESTWARD
Center of Population in 1790 Was 23
 Miles East of Baltimore
From the Chicago Examiner.

From the Chicago Examiner
 The recent fixing of the centre of pop- ulation of the United States four and one-half miles south of Unionville, Mon- roe county, Ind. shows how the tide of numbers has moved to the westward
 In 1T90 1t was 2S miles east of Baltimore 10 years later it was 10 miles west of that city in 1910 it had moved 40 miles west by northwest of Washington; in 1920 1t was in Virginia; from 1880 to 1850 in West Virginia; in 1860 in Ohio, near Chil- lcothe; in 1870 4S miles east of Cincin- natl; in 1880 eight miles west of that city in 1890 20 miles east of Columbus Ind, and in 1900 six miles southeast of that city.
 Assuming the movement to have been uniform along the 39th parallel of lati- tude. we get total westward movement of $40 miles in 120 years. Tn the past decade the movement was 31 miles as compared with II miles in the previous 10 years.
 These figures seem to verify the oft quoted line, Westward the star of em- pire takes it's way"

used, and are the prey of robbers. as of yore.
 "A good many women think that 1t is
 safe to put jewels, valuables and papers
 in old trunks without locks. They seem
 to reason that if they are tied with heavy cords everything is safe. They never stop to think that burglars carry knives Again, some women don't keep their eyes open. Not long ago one drove here
 in her carriage and complained that dozen pairs of lace curtains had been de- 1 iliberately taken from the windows of ner
 home. Until the sleuths went on the job it seemed a mystery. But it didn't take Hong for our man to smell fresh paint.
 He inquired and found that the paper
 hangers and painters had just renovated the house.
 "The woman said that she knew that
 the men were perfectly honest. The de- tectve didn't doubt it. But the boss painter interviewed. Just as our man thought, the men were afraid that they would spoil the curtains with dash of paint so they put them carefully away in closet. When they were through the
 job the paint wasn't quite dry, 80 they
