JUDGE cRosscup ON THE TRUSTS.

JUDGE GROSsCJP ON THE TRUSTS.
One OF the sanest discussions Of the trust
problem We have IS that of Judge Peter S.
Grosscup. OF Chicago 1t IS characterized by
hard common sense aud by the striking cpl
grams with which he ciinches his conclusions.
He attributes the present situation to the
fact that neither of the dominant political par
tics has taken any sincere stand the subieo.
Of trusts, They have thrown a sop to the pub
lie by denouncing illegal combinations and great
monopolies but until very recently but little
Of tangible and effective nature has been done.
Each OF the great parties Is split in two by the
difference OF opinion within itself as to what
should be done in the matter, The popular
thing has been to denounce the trusts. but the
fear OF alternating the big business interests has
prevented active and aggressive opposition IN
I'll the present And Judge Grosscnp con-
Guides that 'the seat Of the disease is not big
business in politics. but big business left alone
By politics to do as it peases Mr.. Wanna
maker seems to have arrived al very much
the same conclusion he said in a recent ad-
dress that while the nation was making such
rapid progress and enjoying such great pros
perity the busy people unconscously had per
mftted gigantic monopolies TO be formed and
to entrench themselves in the commercial life
OF the nation
But the day OF awakening has arrived and
the hour of reckoning has come The situation
must be dealt with and the party that seeks TO
sides,ep the issue Is doomed 1t is great
problem one that has two sides. The property
=. the corporations must be protected and their
rights conserved At the same time the rights
and welfare of the people at large must De
guaranteed On the one hand this foroids the
srnedient of confiscation unfair dissolution
an the other it frobids the idea OF permitting
btr business TO proceed along the pathway OF
ruthless oppression and the wanton stranghng
OF general competition
so Judge Grosscup points out that we must
meet conditions as they exist, These condl-
,,ons REQUIRE vast aggregations OF capital and
.he exnedient of organized and united EFFORT
These combinations OF capital and organiza-
lions of commercial genins must be prevented
from conspiring to create profits beyond wha'
eouttahly belong to them. Hence Judge Gross
cun,s remedy is such governmental supervision
and regulation of dividends AS Will protect the
,,,,,,. nocketbook against the exorhitant profits
that plumber them.
The same suggestion has come IN one 1orn
or auother from Mr.. Gary, Mr.. Perkins. Sen
a.or Newlands and others. and seems worthy OF
serious consideration. At any rate. whatever
The final outcome the public Indignation has
become so great and the public protest SO gen
eral that the question has become burning
co,i,,ca, issue that must be deal. with by both
parties.

the absolute accuracy in estimates of this

The Virginia Medical Society has reached a po-

which the general medical profession. moralists.

portrayal OF the results OF drunkenness--of the

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR WOMEN.

sets or commandments. One, for husbands. he
discussed two Sundays ago. The other, for
wives was the topic of last Sundays SER

They follow
Thou shalt have no man except thy hus-
band
Thou shalt place no club. social circle. or
ganization or missionary society before thy
home
Thou shalt not waste thy husbands substance
on gay raiment.
Thou shalt not let the petty vexations OF
the household disrupt the family.
Thou shalt not regale thy family with idle
gossip.
Thou shalt not fret myself because thy
neighbours house is greater than thine.
Thou shalt not serve punch to thy guests
nor put up prizes at thy whist parties
Thou shalt not pronounce myself delight

Thou shalt not wear snowy dresses over
shoddy underwear.
Thou shalt not allow thy Bible to gather
dust
