The cure OF the monopoly evil Mr.
Stanley said to me, lis, in my opinion,
Ut least, very simple. Competition will
be restored and will be successful the
moment the so-called trusts are effectu-
ally prohibited from obtaining exclusive
privileges from railroads. The little.
technical violations of the rebate law
have ceased. The big and highly profit
able evasion Of the law have begun.

own face by declaring that to approve OF
Wilkes would be to acknowledge the
right Of search" which this country had
always opposed, and as a protest against
which we went to war in 1912. This was
reasoning in a sort OF circle. for IT is a
well-known fact that England had not up
to that time surrendered the right of
search. The subject had not been men
toned IN the treaty of Ghent, which
closed the second struggle with England.
She claimed the privilege on that same
Sth day Of November, 1861, of boarding
ar I vessel OF our own country or OF any
other, and searching it for subjects of
her majesty; and. II her contention was
sound. she must accord that right to
other nations. That is, the United ST 'es
had a right, under the same reasoni, .,
which she offered as an excuse for sur

admit that the taking of such seamen
from on board such vessels can be con-
sidered by any neutral state as a hostile
measure of or justIfable cause of war"
And in another part of this same docu-
ment II was admitted that the British
government has never asserted any ex-

Want No More .FunnicuInrs.

In a memorial presented recently to the
Swiss government the ligue for the pres
ervation of scenery in that country asks
that no more concessions should be grant
ed for the construction of Alpine railways.
1t is probable that concessions in the
future may not be obtained SO easily as
in the past. as there is a certain amount
of feeling in the country that these rail-
ways, though they certainly appeal to a
J rye number Of visitors, do not improve
ie beauty of the Alps.
Many of the mountaineering visitors
lislike these railways. but they very sell

can be scaled in a comfortable carriage.
