AN ECHO OF THE STONE AGE,
MIR. Parsons Views on Watered Stock
Are of Ancient Vintage.

Boston Globe: When Cong, Asher
Kinds, in the sugar trust investigation,
asked the venerable John E. Parsons.
who likes to call himself the father of
the trust system, which would make
him the husband of the protective tar
iff-what he would suggest that a
sovereign government can do to pre-
vent great combinations of capital
from the extrayagances they have ex-
hibited in the past" the reply was:
my theory is, and 1T is supported by
the greatest economic writer's, that all
such wrongs right themselves If there
is too much water in the stock, that
will take care of itself. The govern
ment cannot in equity interfere in pri-
vate affairs"
The greatest economic writer's are
misrepresented by Mr.. Parsons, yet 1t
is quite true that the water will Of
itself in time exude from stock. IN
that sense ver-capitalization does
right itself But the water" does not
flow back to those who supplied it. In
that sense the wrong does not right
itself. 1t is never righted, any more
than other wrongs are Fighter without
full restitution. The man who buys
stock that is nine-tenths water or that
is wholly worthless suffers wrong
that is not righted until his money is
restored to him. The enterprise in
which he invested may be put on an
honest and solid basis, but the wrong
Of which he was the victim does not
automatically right itself
Except in metaphysical and mys-
ffcaI sense no wrong .,r crime ever
rights itself. Mr.. Parsons Is neither
metaphysician nor mystic--he is only
hard-headed lawyer and business
man. and his views are Identical with
those that were held in the stone age.

"unoIe Tomv h EnnIand

Truth: / see it stated that Uncle
Toms Cabin was a wild success from
the moment of its first issue in Eng
land. This is altogether inaccurate.
Uncle Tom was declined by a well
known London publisher. but another
firm brought out an edition of $500
copies at half crown. This proved
failure. so the price was reduced to
one shilling and then the book sold
rapidly. In a few weeks every one
was reading it. The firm which had
made good thing out of this specu-
lation was anxious to secure Mrs.
Stoves next work. SO they gave her
e 500 for the early sheets of the key
to Uncle Toms Cabin, 81 which an
edition of $4,000 copies was printed,
but the book proved disastrous fail

Mr.. Baernstein stated there was

All three propositions are still in the

At ST. Johns Episcopal church, last
night. the preacher was the Rt. Rev.
James ID. Morrison, bishop of the dio-
cese Of Duluth. He gave very force
full exposition of the opening sentence
of the Apostles creed and took for
his text, st. John xiv, 1, Let not your
heart be troubled; We believe in God
believe also in me, The bishop said
the words of his text were spoken by
Jesus the night before His death. He
rad spoken similarly many times be-
fore. but this time He used terms
which were unmistakable Unfolding
his theme the bishop said, whenever
the creed is repeated the words are
used 81 believe in God, the Father
Almighty, maker of, heaven and earth. =
Plainly and simply what Is the ground
for the belief? There is such thing
as religious assurance. Theologians in
discussing the faith which is in us

trations TO fortify the argument Of the
lesson he wished to teach. The evil
dence that there was a God lay IN me

about us. He painted vivid word pic

and he also used the spring and fall
equinox to explain the basis Of the
common belief in a supreme being.
