ANXIOUS ABOUT
r. MILITIA BILL
NATIONAL GUARD is BRINGING
PRESSURE TO SECURE THE
PASSAGE OF STEWART
MEASURE.
ut1IssIs

Members of the National Guard are
watching with interest the progress Of
the military bill introduced by Rec.
Stewart OF Grand Rapids, in the
House They intend to bear all the
influence they can muster to secure
the passage OF the bill
BY the terms of this bill the So
called STAFF will disappear and the
brigade commander will become the
commander of the troops AT all times.
This is what the military men all
over the state are demanding. I'VE
are the men who do the work. they
say. Let us therefore run the ma
chine ourselves"
In Detroit the National Guardsmen
are especially outspoken i'm their de-
mand that the gold lace department
be done away with and the conduct of
all military affairs be left 10 the men
of the line. They point out that the
present staf means in a large degree
only duplication of the duties al
ready performed by the brigade staff
and that as it is the brigade staff
that would have TO do the business
in case of actual service they should
do IL all now.
They point out, too. that in the con-
ference held at Lansing some weeks
ago, seventeen officers who have been
I'm the service up 10 twenty or more
years, agreed upon the provisions of
the bill as introduced and thar they
represented the whole National Guard.
Therefore, they are insistent that the
bill pass and the guard be placed on a

The copper craze of the forties and
ifties brought many big men to the
Lake superior region of Michigan. Few
but the oldest of old settlers, however
are aware that one of these fortune
hunters was no less person than
Horace Greeley, who followed his own
advice and went west" more than six
ty-three years ago, spending several
months at different times at the Della
ware mine on the line of the Kewee-
nav Central in Keweenaw county.
The old log cabin i'm which he made
his headquarters still stands, along
with other monuments TO Keweenaw's
past greatness. The building possesses
an interest above the average, for II
is stated that there were written many
OF the editorials which made Greeley
at that time in his career national
power, and that here for an entire
winter Greeley edited the New York
Weekly Tribune, which was even then
power i'm the land. Hundreds of miles
from the nearest railroad and with the
nearest telegraph instrument at Green
Bay, Wis, Greeley's heavy editorials
were carried by dog trains over snow
trails three or four days journey,
and in the same manner was brought
to the great journalist news of the
outside world, and, most important Of
all, of his paper.
1t came about through Greeley's one
venture into the mining business. The
cause for his coming TO the Michigan
copper country was his election to the
highly honorable post of director and
president of the Northwest Mining
company. corporation which long
since has gone the way of its distin-
guished chief. Greeley tells of the
experience in his own words as fol-

MONOPOLY POLLOCK'S TOPIC
English Lecturer Says Common
Law Favors Competition.

Sir Frederick Pollock delivered his se"-
enth lecture at Columbia yesterday, on the
genius Of the common law, taking mp a
consideration Of monopolles. both ancient
and modern, and showing how much con-
alteration they have received at che hands
Of the common law.
While not assuming 10 speak from an
official attitude. and being careful 10 dis
tingush between the political and the legal
side Of the subject. the lecturer asserted
that it was still the business of the state
Ito regulate competition and prevent its
restraint There IS such theory as the
"Iaissez falre" or "let alone doctrine, but
tho state has not chosen 70 accept IL. he
said What might have been unfair re-
etralnt Of trade in tho sixteenth century
would not be regarded as such by the
courts to-day. and in this respect the COM
mon law has shown its elasticity Sir Pol
lCck declared.
The following was said by Sir Pollock ia
reference 10 the regulation OF competition:
The common law favors competition
y herever free competition Is practicable.
hut prefers regulation by pubic authority
e. restrictions imposed by any coinolhatlon
81 private interests and this nm either case
with n view TO the common advantage and
not on any assumption Of absolute natural
rights
Now We must be careful a the outset not
"a be misled into making familiar histori-
cal words bear a purely modern slgnin-
canoe. Free competition is favored la the
lave That is true. but II did not originally
mean unlimited competition between all
men The merchant and the tradesmen Of
the Middle Ages had To he qualified persons,
Before they could exercise their business.
they passed through a stage Of apprentice
ship and when they became free OF their
guild or craft. this freedom was the same
las almost always in medieval speech as
A privileged condition, as much earned by
a special training as that OF the learned
professions Of this day.
The man who had thus made himself a
fun member of a craft or corporation had
a positive right TO exercise his calling
without hindrance, and his neishbors were
entitled on their part 10 the bencht Of his
skilled work. Our modern notion OF let
ting every man try his chance and trusting
unchecked competition betwcei. all sorts Of
competent and incompetent persons 20 se-
cure the public interest automatically NAV
have Us virtues. but II is modern and not
medieval
The speaker then went ON TO say that
as the extent and variety OF tranicking IN
creased competition assumed more COM
pick forms. and It becomes needful 10 de-
tsrmine the point a. which competition
ceased To- be fair and had TO be regarded a.
fraudulent or oppressive.
