STRONG PROTEST

Effort Made to Prevent Increase
of Fare Between Washing

tspecial to The Times Dispatch,

'~f'"N'". w !lt llDlH5-DlE patch
Washington y. C.. August 5-A viz
orous protest against the application
OF the Washing ton- Southern RAILWAY
Company for permission to increase
It's passenger fares between Washing
ton and Alexandria to q fat chares ~,
SO cents each way has been filed with
the interstate Commerce Commission
lust when II seemed as IL there would
be no opposition. and another NAV
be made BY the Chamber of Commerce
Alfred f. Wood. a local attorney. in
his individual capacity, has filed as
page brief. in which he makes soma
startling disclosures with reference m
the railways application and testi-
mony given before the commission
by the roads traffic manager. Warren
+. Taylor. Mr.. Wood has also drawn
the attention OF the directors OF the
chamoer or Commerce. of this city, to
the proposed increase in fares. and
they have referred the matter to the
transportation committee, with a re-
quest for Immediate consideration
This action may defeat the purpose
OF the railroad and result in a con-
tinuance OF the present rates of fare.
Stripping the record of Its legal
prhaseology. the purpose of the rail
wav company Is shown to be an al
legged attempt to return to the old
DAYS of Scents mile passenger fares
between this city and Richmond In
spite OF the law of Virginia that sets
2 IL ce. is mile as a maximum
This is to be done by the simple ex
pedient OF enforcing a 50-cent fare for
the eight and two-tenths miles he.
tween Washington and Alexandria.
The present rate is Is cents for
straight tickets. or 90 cents cash on
the train and 25 cents for the round
trip.
Besides largely increasing the fare.
which all will have to pay upon tho
only line which runs between Wash
ington and Richmond, II the applica
ton is allowed. Mr. Wood points out
that Washington business men would
be seriously Disseminated against in
favor OF Alexandria. The effect of
the new rates would be. it is shown
almost to force all the country trade
from points along the Washington
Southern and Richmond. Fredericks-
burg and Potomac line to be G.vorted
to Alexandria.

JAP AN BUILDING
BIGGEST A|RSH|P


lspecIaI CahIc to Tbs Times DIspntch.l
London. August 5.-The receipt by
an English sewing machine manufac-
turer OF an order for some specially
constructed machines has revealed the
fact that Japan is secretly building the
largest dirlgible airship in the world.
The new ship is 500 feet long and
fitted with six motors of 20-horse-
power each. making n total twice as
great as the power of the British
dirisible recently finished. These en-
gincs are expected TO be capable Of
driving the ship thirty miles an hour
against a forty-mile gale.
Japanese agents have been secretly
studying the German dirigiblcs for
several months, being the last ideas
for this new monster.

TRUSTS HERE AND IN BRITAIN
Real Truth Regarding Conditions
Seems Hard Matter to Get
Before the Voters.

In the senate the other day enemies
or reciprocity did not scruple To re-
peat the fiction that trusts such as
despoil the people OF this country
exist also In free trade England. The
persistent propagators of this fable ia
face or the fact that such gigantic
combinations as the steel trust, the
sugar trust and the lumber trust can.
not exist where free trade combats
them are referred to famous work of
Mrs. Opie on the different ways OF
perverting the truth. II was said OF
Napoleon that he never hesitated to
lie whenever IL served his purpose
and that he lied at ST Helena almost
to his last breath. The propagandists
OF the tale of spoliatory trusts under
British free trade are Napoleonic in
this respect IL in nothing else.
The cable has just reported how
English courts and juries deal with
promoters OF wormy joint stock com.
panies. Most OF the alleged trusts in
England are companies and firms of
limited liabilities owing their success
only to the superior quality and cheap
ness OF their goods. These are the
sole conditions on which they can
thrive. Instead OF being subject to
parliamentary Investigations and gov.
eminent prosecutions they are well
coined by British consumers. Here,
on the other hand. the great Industrial
trusts now undergoing investigations
In congress and prosecutions in the
federal courts, owe their existence to
the favorit'sm Of unjust tariff laws.
That is the difference.
In this country the trusts thrive in
gathering the spells from THE people
because the tariff prohibits or OBJ
structs free competition with theH
In England. when a combination I'M
dertakes to monopolize trade in any
article and force it's price above
normal level, competition flows in
from every direction to redress the
balance in favor of consumers, and
that is the end of trusts of our Ameri-
can type. Yet the gigantic lie of
Trusts in Free Trade England" will
still keep marching around in seven,
league boots.

La FoIIette's Weakness.

Senator La Toilette admits that the
Democrats in the house may point
with pride to the record they have
made. The insurgent senators mad a
like opportunity to make a record by
Joining with the progressive Demo-
Gratis to pass the entire legislative
program of the house. La Toilette
claims to favor revision downward
of the tariff on the manufactured
products of the east; well, there is a
good deal of this kind of revision in
the reciprocity bill, and in the wool
tariff and farmers free list bills. It
is an obsession OF La Toilette that
these reforms must all be accom-
plished by one bill or not at all II
the Wisconsin senator should have
his way it would be not at all.

Prosecution Of "Irusts.n

We may differ as to the question of
free trade with foreign nations, but
there can be no doubt OF the desir.
ability OF a good deal freer trade
among ourselves than we now enjoy.
Greed has interposed many obstacles
between the people and their source
of supply. Too many men and organ,
izations take toll of life's necessities
before they reach the consumer. Con.
sumers, not being organized in their
capacity as consumers, 1T is most diff
hcult for them to protect themselves
against extortion or to maintain their
rights. Therefore, the government Is
under peculiar obligation to enforce
any laws enacted for their protection
This, OF course, is the animating pur
pose of the suit against the lumber
trust. The government has been at
work for year gathering evidence,
so we suppose 1t feels reasonably sure
of it's ground. Those who were so
fearful that the administration might
run amuck" in its fight on trusts,
and so disturb business, can now feel
no alarm, for have they not been as.
sured that no combinations would be
disturbed unless they "unreasonably'
restrained trade? These people can
have no objection to the prosecution
of trusts that are in reality trusts un.
der the recent Interpretation of the
antitrust law.

The Next Ten Years.

That greater freedom Of trade, in a
much broader sense than is signified
by the term free trade" is going to
be more dominant in American com
merce during the next ten years is
extremely probable. says Mark Sulli-
van in Golfers The tendency is
likely to be toward the removal OF
artificial barriers from trade. and
toward the destruction OF those re-
straints on competition which have
been fundamental in the growth Of
trusts during the past two decades.
Public opinion is headed that way;
the recent trust decisions have done
much; the present activities of the
attorney generals Office at Washing.
ton will do more; lower tariff will
help; most of all will be done by the
simple workings of economic laws.

SUGAR Trust is Now a Model

In days of old 1t was usual to con-
vert the heather by the use OF force
and cruelty. That the sugar trust
could have been brought to salvation
by any other means is more than
doubtful. II was not led to the altar
of repentance by gentle persuasion,
but dragged there by unfeeling and
brutal hands. If 1t had been left to
itself to work out it's moral regenera-
ton it might still be swindling the
government out Of millions, bribing
customs officials and classifying its rec
ords. 1t is now a highly self-respect-
ing corporation that speaks unctuous-
ly OF the pecuniary benefits 1t confers
upon thousands of widows and or.
phans.
The sugar trust was saved by being
caught

Democratic Doctrine.

Mr.. President, / was taught to be-
lieve that genuine Democracy looks to
the millions and to their relief rather
than to the hundreds who need no
relief. 1t does not array class against
class; it does not encourage the rich
to Cypress the poor, nor teach the
poor TO envy the rich. 1t enjoins up.
on every man to respect the rights of
others. Its creed is Justice to all men,
but If 1t can do benevolence to some
without doing injustice to any, it will
bestow its favors, not upon those
whose abundance gives them luxury
and ease. but upon those whose hard
estate condemns them to a reverend
ing toll. for its great mission in this
world was and is
TO lift some portion OF that weight and
care
Which brushes into despair

spend big bunch of money without
letting me know about it. Well, the
next day she said: The tailor said he
couldn't make) the suit for less than
$3.50. I thought 1t was too mucn but
told him to go ahead
well, 1 suppose it is all right I
said. but why didn't you consult me
