PUBLIC REGULATION OF coMBI.
NATIONS.

From time immemorial civilized
people have had usury laws, which
placed ban upon extortionate inter.
est rates, and the most far-reaching
public question at the present time
is the extension of the principle
which underlies usury laws, to the
so-called Industrial combinations
which are now charging extortionate
prices for steel, oil, surgar and
many other necessaries used by the
masses.
Government regulation may not be
necessary for any corporation that
does net interfere with competition.
That is a mooted question. But the
moment a corporation enters com
bination fer the Fixing CT prices, OR
is strong enough itself to do so, and
to destroy competition, that moment
the public should intervene. The
public has a right to fix prices
and limit dividends. the same as it
has the right to fix the legal rate of
interest. Such regulation will put
an end to the making Of multimillion-

A COMMEMORATE ACT.

1t is now well known that the
use OF white phosphorus endangersI
the health and life of those who use
the poison in the manufacture oil
matches. 1t causes necrosis of tn,
tawbone and teeth and other all
nents.
Some time ago President Taft
recommended, in a message to con-
gress, that a special tax be imposed
upon all match manufacturers using
the deadly compound, and he wanted
the tax sufficiently high to drive
them out of business. There was
some objection to using the taxing
power to secure the desired results,
which delayed the enactment of leg
islation.
The Diamond Match Co. owns and
for many years has used harmless
formula, which answers every pur-
pose Of white phosphorus in the man
ufacture Of matches, and its right to
the sole use of the formula has been
duly protected by the Sevene-C ahen
patent, which will not expire for
about five years.
The enactment of legislation suct
as recommended by the President
would give the company monopoly
of the match business in this coun
try, or enable it to exact large roy
alties' from other match manufactur
ers. In this age of commercialism
most people would expect that the
big corporation would have commenc
ed making plans to harvest its pros
pective advantage, and would in
crease the value Of it's stock severa
IialiiuISlS Oh tnousdHas W 4olfai'
But it did not do anything of thai
mature. 1t listened to the voice o
mankind and acted the part of a hu
Manitarlan 1t waived its own chance
for pssunisry gain and put an end t.
the use Of poisonous and disease
spreading substance, by recording il
the Patent Office a REIMBURSEMENT
of all rights under its patent Every
match manufacturer in the country
can now freely use the Diamond
Match Company's harmless formula.
1t is an encouraging sign of the
times when big corporation makes
such free will offering to humanity.

HEAVY DAMAGE BY FIRE.
Damage Amounting to $4,000 Done
in the Home of Guy G. Woodin.


The Chicago Record Herald Of
Sunday morning has the following
account of damage by fire to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Woodin:
Furniture and tapestries spread out
at $1,000 were among furnishings
destroyed yesterday by the fire that
attacked the residence of Guy G.
woodin, 4944 Grand boulevard. a
member of the firm of Woodin, Nc.
Near & Moore, bond dealers. in Mon.
roe street. Mr.. and Mrs. Woodin
have been i'm Dallas, Texas, for the
last month, and the persons in the
house when the fire broke out we're
Julia Kibby, maid, and Neil Ander.
son, houseman. The fire started in
the basement, supposedly from an
overheated furnace, and had gained
considerable Roadway before it was
discovered. An employe saw the
smoke and sent in an alarm. Her
husband and Julia Kibby and Ander-
son carried out many valuables.
The Chicago American has this &C.
count in its Sunday issue:
Furniture and tapestries spread out
over the lawn greeted the gaze of
Guy G. Woodin and his family when
they returned home yesterday after
noon from Dallas, Tex. The Woodin
family has been in Dallas for the last
four weeks. In their absence the es-
tablishment has been in the care of
negro servants. When the flames
broke out these as well as neighbors
joined in the work of saving the fur
niture and other valuables within.
The fire was caused by an eXplo-
sion of the hot water furnace. Two
caretakers, Neil Anderson, house
keeper. and Julia Kibby, cook, were
at work in the kitchen when the en-
plosion occurred. When the firemen
arrived the house was filled with
smoke from top to bottom and the
flames we're running the costly new
furnishings that Mr.. Woodin recently
put into the place. Members of the
salvage corps directed their efforts
to saving as much property as posi-

the place was soon covered with ex-
pensive articles. There were dozens
of pieces of cut glass spread around.
Tapestries costing hundreds of dol
lars had been torn from the walls
and taken to a point of safety.
The cause of the explosion was not
learned. The building occupied by
Mr.. Woodin and family is known as
the former William O'Brien resi-
dence, and was handsome struc-
ture. The firemen were Handicapped
in the work because. so many interior
doors were locked. They went all
through the building, carrying out
furnishings, until driven back by
smoke.

REGISTRATION LIGHT.
Only Sixty-four Are Added to the
Lists in Two Days.

The first two days of registration
for the spring municipal election
were surprisingly light. Is the lack
OF registrations indicative OF the at
titude of the voters? The general
public does not seem to care whether
or not an election is held. On the
other hand no one is making an or
ganized effort TO get out the unregis-
tered voters and no effort is being
made to line up the voters for the
struggle of election day.
A total of siXty.four voters were
registered on the first two days,
Thursday and Friday, March 16 and

were as follows:
