Inventor of the Trust -GIories in His
Work

New York, July 21.-"All such
wrongs right themseles,'' was the re-
assurance John E. Parsons gave the
Sugar trust investigators today when
they asked him how to curb the big
corporations. When the former attOr-
ney of the American Sugar Refining
company took the stand again Repre-
sentative Asher c. Kinds inquired: LAS
probably the worlds most eminent ex-
pert on these matters, what would you
suggest that sovereign government
can do to prevent these great com
binations of capital from the extraHa=
gances they have exhibited in the
past?"
MY theory is. and it is supported
by the greatest economic writers, that
all such wrongs right themselves" re-
piled Mr.. Parsons. IF there is too
much water in the stock, that will
take care of itself. The government
can not in equity interfere in private
affairs There should be no limit to
capitalization so long as it is not in
furious or fraudulent"
II certainly claim to be the pioneer
in the formation of the American
trust said Parsons, in answer to an
other question. Il am very proud
of it."
At the start of the congressional in
Vestigation today Charles r. Heike,
former secretary of the American
Sugar Refining company, declared HIS
ignorance OF the mysterious feSOlutloAl Il
passed by the board of directors in
which H. o. HaVemeyef said the COM
pany should take action relative to
Hinjurious litigation and huFtful legis-
lation and appeals from each of the
political parties Heike said that the
late John z. Searles was the secretary
and did not turn over to him records
of the action taken on that resolution.
Mr.. Madison then got Mr.. Parsons
to tell about the famous meeting be-
tween John Arbuckle and H. Q. Have
meyer which is supposed to have end
ed the big sugar war. Mr.. Parsons
said that at the conference in question
no agreement was reached and the
sugar war is still on.
"You were counsel for the American
when it was prosecuted for receiving
rebates ~ continued the examiner.
YES"
"And the company pleaded guilty ?"
Mr.. Parsons explained this at length
and said that on its plea the company
was fined $4,000.

MAGNITUDE Of a Million,

In some public schools where large
halls are available an effort has been
made to realize the meaning Of a mil
lion. They secure 100 large sheets Of
paper, each about four feet six inches
square. ruled in quarter inch squares.
In each alternate square a round
black wafer or circle is placed, a little
overlapping the square, thus leaving
an, equal amount Of white space be-
tween the black spots. At each tenth
spot a double width is left so as to
separate each hundred spots. ten by
ten. Each sheet then holds 10000
spots, each horizontal or vertical row
containing 1000. One hundred such
sheets contain, of course, a million
spots, and they would occupy a space
$50 feet long in one row or ninety
feet long in FIVE rows, so that they
would entirely cover the walls of a
room about thirty feet square and
twenty five feet high from floor to
ceiling, allowing space for doors. but
not for windows. The Bible from
Genesis to Revelation is supposed to
contain 3.5OO,OOo letters. If every let
ter in the Bible were dollar it would
about half build a battleship.-Louis-

Wise or innocentf

He met her one night at a reception
and asked her to go to the theater
with him. She accepted, and. as they
liked each other, they went again later.
Then it got to be weekly occurrence.
Finally he got to thinking that he was
solid enough with her TO go out be-
tween the acts, and so he did. For
several weeks be worked this and met
with no rebuff. But she was thinking
a lot, even though she wasn't saying
anything.
One evening she said, 'Why don't
you go to the smoking room to smoke
instead Of going to the lobby?"
Isis there a smoking room in
side?' he asked.
"Of course. You always say that
you are going out to smoke, and
1t seems so useless to have to take
your hat and coat every time. And
If you thought Of 1t beforehand you
could buy those cigarettes that you
seem to iike-the ones that smell like
clov es, you know-before you come"
He is wondering if she is as wise as
it seems or as innocent as It appears
