Congressman Madison Would
COnfiscate Trust Property.
Take Every Pound of Tobacco
and Gallon of Oil.
SIX MONTHS LICENSE
Says This Is What Court Has
Granted Trusts.
Great Opportunity for Attorney
General Wickersham.
SIX MONTHS LICENSE

Washington, May 31.-Seize every
pound of tobacco and every gallon of
oil that goes into interstate commerce.
That is the way to break up the tobacco
and the oil trusts, E. H. Madison, rep
r. sentative from the Seventh Kansas
district, said, and such a procedure is
possible. Discussing the two recent de-
cisions of the supreme court, Judge
Madison said:
THE thing which friends of the en-
forcement of the Sherman antitrust
law will most regret about the Stand
ard Oil and tobacco trust decisions is
the failure of the supreme court TO
hand down a decree effectually and 1t
once ending the combinations which it
denounces as unlawful in unmeasured
terms. The court in effect, so far as the
exercise of it's injunctive powers is con-
cerned, practically licenses those COM
binations to continue their unlawful
combination for six months.
such a judgment will not discour-
age them, but simply lend hope that III
that period they may devise schemes
that will enable them to evade the law
for another long period. That particu-
larly will apply to the Standard Oh
company, upon which the surveillance
of the court is removed during this
period. The circuit court ordered the
dissolution of the trust in 80 days and
until dissolved twas enjoined from ell
gaging in interstate commerce That
sort of decree had real teeth in it, If
it had been upheld by the supreme
court the dissolution would have oc-
CURED by now and the trust would
have understood it was really under the
condemnation of the law. Dealing with
trusts by gentle taps on the wrist will
accomplish nothing.
There is a great opportunity before
Attorney General Wickersham. the
greatest that has come to any attorney
general since the enactment of the
Sherman law. The highest court in the
land has held that the actions of John
d. and William Rockefeller and their
associates and III. B. Duke, T. F. Ryan
and their associates were clearly ir
violation of law. Those still living car
be and should be prosecuted

I'm premiums and speed, which is off
the press, is by far the most volumin-
GUS and pretentious publication of the
kind ever put out in Topeka, one of
the attractive feature being the To-
page Commercial club supplement-
which sets forth the advantages of
the capital with reading matter and
illustrations.
Thousands of these books-they
can hardly be called booklets as pre-
viously-will be distributed through
out Kansas and other states, and from
now on the management of the fair
will give the institution the publicity
which will bring tens of thousands of
persons to Topeka September Ills.
Aside from the regular fair attrac-
tions, which will be unusually varied,
the Commercial club will arrange for
q semi-centennial and Homecoming
celebration, which should bring addi-
tional thousands to the city. Then the
automobile show, which the Topeka
Motor league expects to back or at
least to get started, viii be a feature
that will be something unique for this
meek of the woods" and should also
be a crowd drawer.
The cover of the premiu: list con-
sists of heavy paper of yellowish tint
bearing the Kansas seal, and is some
thing different.
A number of attractive entertain
ment features are announced in the
descriptive book, which include big
carnival company and one of the large
military bands of the country, aside
from brilliant displays of fireworks.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

s'The whole secret of remaining
young. in spite of grey hairs, is the
maintenance of harmony in the SOU" "
-Amiel.
"Don't let your heart grow cold and
you may carry love and cheerfulness
into the teens of your second century
If you can last so long."-Oliver Wen
dell Holmes.
1 met. the other dav. an old lady
who at eighty-seven is still delightful
to look at, still delightful to be with,
and apparently still delightful COM
pany for herself.
asked her to tell me the secret of
growing old so gracefully.
She deprecated the compliment, of
thoughtfully: well, my dear, if I
have any secret at all it's that I began
to grow old years and years ago. That
is began to prepare for it. I've been
building resources for old age within
myself for the last sixty years almost,
so that's why I'm so happy now. It's
only the people who fight old age who
find it SO terrible
Isn't that q beautiful philosophy?
If you want to be happy when you
are old, begin building resources for
happiness inside yourself right now
OF course. many people say, "I hope
never shall live to be old. I'd rather
die when my usefulness is past" That's
all very fine, but as it happens, most
of us don't decide that matter for our
selves. and the man who thinks old age
is worse than death and who can't be-
iieve he will ever live to be old, may
be the very man who will linger on.

MISS M'KAY in HOLLAND
The Dutch Papers Comment Enthusi-
astically Upon Her Singing and
Artistic Personality.

The many friends Of Miss Louise
Mckay In Fargo and Casselton, where
Miss Mckay spent her youth, will be
interested In the following notice from
The Musical Leader and Concert Goer.
leading musical publication OF New
York City:
Louise Mckay has this season ex-
tended her concert activity to Holland,
where she has met with great sue
cess.
The leading Dutch journal comments
enthusiastically upon both her work
and her artistic personality. One
critic finds the timber OF her voice $50
fine and delicate that the music is
etherialized and transparent, that the
slightest shadow upon it's surface could
be detected"
Louise Mckay is the personihcation
OF simplicity, and her art is so abso-
lutely natural that one might think she
were a dilettante were It not for the
excellent schooling which her work
betraya.
Another critic calls attention to ''the
ease with which the singer absolved
the difficult passage work"
Simplicity is the keynote of her work
and this Is significant characteristic
when the German Lied Ii concerned,
q vocal work in which too many sing
ers exaggerate the sentiment.
The aria from Figaro's Hochreit.
with which the programme opened, ait
once gained the interest Of her hearers,
and a great musical pleasure was az
forded by her singing of Schubert's
Hirt auf den Felsen.
