monopoly. some statute enacted which
shall establish q line between those
monopolies that are reasonable and
those that are not-those that are be
nevolent and those that are uncon-
scionable. No such line is possible,
and the supreme court has expressly
so decided. Mourning over a condi-
tion which is inevitable is useless, and
until they realize that their views in
this regard must be radically changed
their complaints must fall upon deaf
ears.
Il have seen arguments based upon
the attitude OF foreign governments
toward great enterprises in which 1t
is pointed out that they have eEcour-
aged. fondled. and protected Combiua-
lions of this character. That is true.
There is a tendency among some for
eigu governments to encourage what
they call trusts, to take part them
selves in the management of the
trusts, to fix prices and TO depend
upon governmental control TO secure
their reasonable conduct; but such a
system with US is absolutely impOssi-
bic and il might as well be under
stood. The countries 20 which refer
cucc is made are yeCring toward state
socialism. This. indeed, If competition
Is to disappear. is the logical escape
from the evil Of private mouopOlies,
because if private companies are TO be
allowed to manage everything and fix
prices, then there is every reason why
the control thus exercised by them
should be transferred from them TO the
government, and this is state social
ism.

LAME BANKING LAW.
Fourth, and finally, we have a very
lame banking and currency system.
The theory of the issue of bank notes,
based on the deposit Of government
bonds by each national bank, is that
this will increase and decrease accord
ing TO the needs of the money market.
that these national banks will deposit
bonds and float their notes when money
is needed, and will withdraw the bonds
and reduce the circulation when the
demand for money is light. Such has
not been the result and it is due TO the
fact that the bonds which were issued
for the purpose of enabling them to be
used as deposits paid only per cent
rate which is about 1 per cent below
the regular market rate for govern
ment bonds in this country, and there
fore prevents the disposition and use
of the bonds for any other purpose
than the securing of bank notes. This
gives a stiffness to the deposit and
withdrawal of such bonds and a rig
idity to the amount of currency de
pendent on them that deprives the
system of the elasticity which is de-
sired

FOR CENTRAL AUTHORITY.
There ought to be some central au-
thority that could take over the quick
assets of the bank in the form of bust
ness paper and issue bank notes on
the faith OF it TO meet the exigency
arising at any time in a demand for
money. If vested in one person or
set Of persons, the business can be in
diligently done, panics avoided, and
money sufficient for the purpose of
business constantly kept on hand. The
present proposition Of the monetary
commission, which l believe will be
recommended to congress, is that this
authority shall be provided by a COM
bination OF all the banks of the coun-
try. reserving to the smaller banks a
power of selection greater than the
ratio between their capital and the
capital of the larger banks, in which
board or agency the government shall
have a representative, not so that it
may control, but so that it may have a
voice in the management

4 Medicine That Does Not Cost Any
thing Unless 1t Satisfies.

The active medicinal ingredients
of Rexall OrGerlies, which IS odor-
less, tasteless and colorless, is an
entirely new discovery. Combined
with other extremely valuable in
gradients. il forms q perfect bowel
regulator, intestinal invigorator and
strengthener. Rexall Orderlies are
eaten like candy and are notable for
their agreeableness to the palate and
gentleness of action. They do not
cause gripping or any disagreeable efe
feet or inconvenience.
Unlike other preparations for a
like purpose, they do not create a
habit, but instead they overcome the
cause of habit acquired through the
use of ordinary laxatives, cathartics
and harsh physic and permanently
remove the cause OF constipation or
irregular bowel action.

mean that he Is immoral or wicked.

Unfortunately we have no department

the work must be left to individual in

The former system or lack OF system

danger that sufficient discrimination
will not be exercised in selecting the

Under a thoroughly systematic
method OF organization, public bene-
