GAYNOR'S REMEDY FOR TRUSTS.

OF remedies for the trust or combine
evil there appeals TO be no end. From
William eJnings Bryan's proposition 10
limit the amount of business that any
corporation can do right down the list
to Gary's recent suggestion that the
government should have an official bu-
reau that would always be in consul
tation with the leaders in the industrial
life Of the land, telling them hat to Go
and what not to do, We find every man
of large affairs, or of political prom
tnence trotting out his suggestion and
for a brief moment occupying the cen
ter of the stage as it receives attention
before going into the discard.
Mayor Gaynor is the latest to evolve
a plan, and there is, as is generally
the case in anything Gaynor puts out,
a strong foundation of common sense
in his suggestion. The New York may
or points out that while the public aad
the politicians are clamoring against
the trusts and the combines the various
legislatures, Republican and Demo-
cratic alike, proceeded to pass laws
that enables trusts and combines to
form and carry on their purposes
What We really need, says he, is law
prohibiting one corporation from
holding stock in another, directly or
indirectly Once such a law is made
general and enforced, he insists, the
doom of combinations will be sounded
Gaynor's suggestion taken with an
ether recently made to limh the pow
ers given under charters, seems an ex-
celent one. Take the average Georgia
charter, for instance, and those receiv
ing it can do almost anything in the
way of business their fancy suggests,
from running commissaTy to operaJ-
ing a railroad line. This is one of the
evils that needs correction. Prevented
from holding stock in other corpora
lions and their powers limited strictly
to one line of business, the evil ten
denotes of combinations might be ma
terially lesened. Of course ways might
even then be found to evade and vio-
late the spirit of the law but it would
not be so easy as at the present time.
Eventually some remedy will be
found for the evils arising from the
concentration of enormous wealth in
the hands Of few Men of great
affairs, like those in charge of the
Steel Trust, for instance, realize that
it is far better to submit to government
supervision and regulation than to per-
NIT public hostility to be aroused and
embittered to an extent that will en-
danger property rights. That feeling is
keen that the vast fortunes of the
country have been largely acquired by
governmental favoritism, by trickery,
by corruption, and by practices that
were unlawful. If the spoliation of
their possessors in the future, by and
in the name of the public, is to be av-
oided, there must be less improper, ar
bitrary and oppressive use of them
The day has come when the people will
not tolerate conditions that were al
lowed to exist for years unchallenged.
Regulated, restricted and controlled,
great wealth must submit to be- Those
who direct it realize this and the in
clination to resist the pressure of the
government becomes less with every
year.

A Modest Actor.

A prominent actor is credited by a
writer in the Argonaut, with this bit
of wit and wisdom relating to his art:
An actor should be modest, and most
actors are. But I know a young actor
who at the beginning of his career
carried modesty almost too far This
young man inserted in all the dramatic
papers a want advertisement that
read:
Engagement wanted-Small part,
such as dead body or outside shouts,
preferred"

The New YoSk Times bitterly de-

by the sale of adulterated commodities

Boston Courier)
There's path that leads to Yester
day-you know it,
A rambling path of blossoms and
perfume,
You remember how the wild grapes
overgrow it
To the house upon the hilltop deep
in bloom.
There's a path that leads to Yesterday
through flowers,
Where the wood thrush in a voice of
magic song;
Where the cricket snaps its fairy whip
for hours
And the barefoot boy goes whistling
all day long.
There's path that leads to Yesterday
through dingles
Of the forest, where the wood pool is
all eye,
And the sunbeam is twinkle soft that
mingles
With a gladnsss of girl who dances
by
Oh, the path that leads to Yesterday
It's calling!
Don't you hear it How it calls
through many things.
Through its roses, like the memories
now falling,
And the dreamlike Westward futter-
ing of wings.
On the path that leads to Yesterday
we've started;
Hear it calling with it's many whip
OWLS,
Like the voices of old happiness de-
parted,
Through the darkness where the
moon rests on the hills.
