Only Supplemental Legislation Needed.
 The opportunity thus suggested for federal incorporation, it seems to me, is suitable constructive legislation needed to facilitate the squaring of great industrial enterprises to the rule of action laid down by the antitrust law. This statute as construed by the supreme court must continue to be the line of distinction for legitimate busi- ness. It must be enforced unless we are to banish individualism from all business and reduce it to one common system of regulation or control of prices like that which now prevails with respect to public utilities and which when applied to all business would be long step toward state so- cialism.
 Importance of the Anti trust Act.
 The antitrust act is the expression of the effort of freedom loving peo- pie to preserve equality of opportunity. It is the result of the confident deter imitation of such people to maintain their future growth by preserving un- controlled and unrestricted the enter prise of the individual. his industry, his ingenuity. his intelligence and nis independent courage.
 For twenty years or more this stat ute has been upon the statute book. All knew it's general purpose and ap- proved. Many of it's violators were cynical over it's assumed impotence. It seemed impossible of enforcement. Slowly the mills of the courts ground, and only gradually did the majesty of the law assert itself. Many of it's statesmen-authors died before it be-

Comic Supplement Appeals
to Age as Well as to Youth

These fun chasers are the chief
features of the new comic supple
ment which is to be issued by
The Sunday Star. The reason
for the retention of such high
class comics in the best newspa-
pers Is the surprising discovery
that a fun feature intended for
youngsters has captured the in
terest of old boys and girls who
long ago left youth behind them
and are serving life sentences to
time.
Just why man, say, with a
brain for Shakespeare, should
chuckle over a comic supplement
intended for children is a human
nature mystery to be accounted
for only on the basis that all OF
us carry in our hearts a patch OF
childhood which on some won
derful day is TO blossom into
eternal youth.
If few minutes foolish relaXa-
ton will make a world-worried
grown-up forget about the skele-
ton in the closet. the wolf at the
door or the dun man at tomor-
rows bell. the comic supplement
will have proved its right to en-
ist.

QUIETER In ECUADOR.
President Alfaro Resigns 0ncoming
Army Halted In Its March.

Political conditions in Ecuador have
improved, according to a despatch re-
ceived yesterday at the State Depart
men, Washington, from Evan r.
Young, American Minister there.
Mr.. Young says that the troops
which had remained loyal to General
Alfaro and which were marching on
the capital, turned back following a
conference between their leader and
committee made up of the Brazil
ian minister, representing the diplo-
matte corps, and the provisional
Minister of the Interior, represent
ing the Estrada Government.
This action will probably prevent
further bloodshed. 1t was expected
that had the troops reached the city
it would have been sacked and there
would have been much loss of life
and property. The Minister believes
that there will be no further fighting.
He reports that the railroad, which is
an American concern, is practically
uninjured.
Later the Minister telegraphed that
President Alfaro had rendered his
resignation to Congress and it had
been accepted.

CRUISE OF PACIFIC FLEET.
Work To Begin On Itinerary For Cruise
OF Atlantic BattIeship Fleet.

Four armored cruisers of the Pacific
fleet, the Colorado, California, South
Dakota and West Virginia, accom-
panied by eight destroyers, will cruise
from the Pacific coast to Hawaii, re-
turning to San Pedro about November
for target practice.
They will leave San Francisco
about September Is. The war vessels
will engage in tactical exercises and
manoeuvers during the cruise. Rear
Admiral Richard Wainwright, aide
for operations, will shortly begin
work on an itinerary for the cruise
of the Atlantic battleship feet next
winter after the completion of the
fall target practice.
A great deal of sentiment has de-
among naval officers in favor
of long cruise similar to that of
1907 to 1909, when the Atlantic fleet
made tour of the world. On &C
count of the lack of money, how
ever, it will not be possible to re-
peat the world cruise until Congress
increases the appropriation for the
naval establishment.

Too Much Space Given Picture Of
Alleged Wife Murderer.

The following is written to the edi-
tor of the Baltimore Sun and republish-
ed in that paper:
As a constant reader and admirer of
The Sun, l regret to see twenty-four
square inches of your valuable space
on page IL today wasted in presenting
the picture of an alleged wife muir
derer.
What good is accomplished there
by? Who, except the most extreme
sensation lover, cares to know what
such man looks like. If you must
crafty such extremists, why not
make the cut l by 2 inches?
And yet think your readers of the
best class (and they are legion) would
far prefer the least possible notoriety
accorded to such criminal cases.

A HUGE MELON.
The Burpee's Triumph Grown On MIR.
Melvin's Farm.

One of the largest and certainly
most delicious melons ever exhibited
in Annapolis was received at The
Capital office this morning from the
farm of Mr.. George T. Melvin, known
as the old Frank Humphrey farm.
The melon is the Burpee's Triumph
variety and weighs so pounds. 1t is
much larger and of much better flavor
than most melons grown in Anne
Arundel county. 1t is oval in shape
and from six to eight inches long,
and twelve inches in diameter.
The skin is dark green, striped with
a lighter green. The meat is red and
the heart large and it has no core.
The melon of 60 pounds is large
enough to furnish dessert for a hotel
in Annapolis at this season of the
wear.

PIONEER WOMAN CALLED ID HER
 REWARD Mrs. Jacob Ritter Expires Suddenly at Home
 In Kirkland Dies From Heart Disease While Preparing To
 Eat Supper
(From Saturdays Daily)

One of the most estimable women or the pioneer colony of this county, Mrs. Mary Jane Ritter, has ended life's journey, passing away sudden ly at ner home in Kirkland Valley, Thursday evening. Heart disease was the fatal affliction, and the end came without the least warning. She was preparing to eat supper, and while surrounded by many relatives, swooned, and in a few moments was a. corpse. The shock was a sad one to her relatives, while by many her death will be sadly deplored. She was the wife of Jacob Ritter, one of the pioneers of the country, and ever since the day both arrived in this section, over thirty-five years ago, they have never been separated, even for single day. Her life was devoted to her husband and children, and with a noble purpose she will iHBIN SndiCu III bhO piAN NdtAOho OL early days. The old rock house on the Date Creek mesa, many miles from any habitation, was her home for several years, which will serve to give a faint idea of her char acter and her devotion to a mother s duty. Pioneer residents, especially, will learn with sincere sorrow of this noble woman's death, removing, as it does, one of the heroic women of the era that is fast passing into mem ory.
 She was born in Illinois and was 69 years old. She was married in Texas. and from that state, accom- panied her husband to Arizona, never leaving since the day she arrived.
 The remains were brought from Kirkland yesterday, and will be laid away in this city. Besides her hus- band she is survived by four sons, Edward, William, Wayne and Henry Ritter, who arrived yesterday, and will remain until the day of the funeral The body is being prepared for interment at Lester Rufner s undertaking parlors.
 Funeral arrangements will be an- rouneed later.
