We note from the news col
umns of the daily papers that a
world wide steel manufacturers
com bine is in the process of
formation. Naturally: this was
to have been expected from the
antagonism the steel combine
has met with in this country in
the courts and in congress.
There is no reason to believe the
promoters of the projected inter
national combination will not &C
complish their purpose. We see
here only the natural progress
ion of industrialism as private
stitution, for with each assault
from the public upon this sys.
TEN the system reaches out for
further means of protection to
it's investments. Ultimately pri-
yate industrial com binatiOns will
rule the world, or the world
must wipe out private ownership
Of the great industrial institu-
tions. That there can be no ef-
fective middle course should be
apparent to even the casual OBJ
server of the course of events.

Must Pay for Paper.

The Kansas City Court Of Ar-
peals in decision rendered this
week holds that taking a paper
out OF the pOStof1ice nlaiseS the
recipient liable for the bill. O.
d. Austin, a Butler. Mo. pub
Usher, sent his paper to Chas.
Burge. The latter paid for it
twice and then refused to pay
again. He said he had ordered
it stopped. But the Court of
Appeals holds that mere accept
ance Of the paper created a liza
bility. 1t adds:
The preparation and publica-
ton of a newspaper involves
much mental and physical labor.
as well as an outlay of money.
One who accepts the paper by
continuously taking it from the
postOffce receives benefit and
pleasure arising from such labor
and expenditure as fully as if he
had appropriated any other pro
duct Of anOther's labor and by
such act he must be held liable

ley through Mr.. Tolerton chose
a likely course, if they wished to

enough authority in their com
munities to win a place in the
State Legislature should realize
that such a policy means ruin.
