Stanley Comes
Back at Roosevelt

HENDERSON. ky, Sept. como
mel Roosevelt is spending much OF
his time denouncing the recommends
ton Of a committee which he charac-
terizes as mere sound and fury. said
Congressman A. .. Stanley, chairman
of the committee investigating the
United states Steel Corporation mere
in answer to the structures of Colonel
Roosevelt in his recent speech at st
Johnsbury VT Congressman @Stah-
ley's statement continues:
Ordinarily a candidate for pfesl-
dent and former president could be
expected to find some subject OF pun
and moment to occupy his valuable
time and that of his auditors. But the
colonel is unique, as he knows the
great value Of sound and fury, The!
have been his principal assets during
more than a decade of public service
and sound and furY'-more turN ana
less sound and his voice grows hoarser
and chances slimmer-have character
ized his last furious political fasco,
etanpede of the stall-fed bull moose,
lately the property of the steel trust
now exhibited by his devoted manager
and munifcent provider, one George w.
Perkins of New York.
What a Pity! Says Stanley
Saws Colonel Roosevelt, the anti
trust law by itself can never in any
shape on way solve the problem OF
dealing with the trusts.
IF the sherman anti trust law had
been complete and all-sufticient rem
edv. the STANLEY committee would new
err have proposed to amend it. What
a uitv the colonel did not discover
there was no value in the sherman
act when he was president and when
his attorneys general brought repeated
suits under it to dissolve the trusts. and
his allies with much sound and fury
proclaimed to the country that by this
means they were going to punch all
the malefactors of great wealth who
we're not friendly or sufficiently lib
eral
During his entire iuCumbencN in Of
flee Roosevelt never advocated but one
amendment to the sherman act, the no
torious Hepburn bill and this bin was
actually written. every word and every
line OF it, by f. II. Gary. chairman of
the board of directors of the United
states Steel Corporation. and by Victor
Morawet1 and Francis Lynde Stetson,
it's attorneys.
viii Keep Trust Heads Busy
For the first time since the Sher-
man act was written the Stanley COM
mittee has proposed amendments with
teeth in them and which. il enacted into
law. Will deprive the colonel Of such
valuable aids as the chairman Of the
finance committee OF the steel Corpo %
ration ana the heads of the harves ter
trust because these laws. if enforced,
viii find these gentlemen SO busy keep
ring their precious hides out Of the jails
that they viii have no time running the
politics ot the country or pulling fod q
dei for the bull moose. "

Regulation of
Competition Needed.

What they propose Is the restora
ton of freedom. What we need Is
the regulation of competition and the
prosecution of what has created mo-
nopolv. When YOU have regulated it,,
YOU have in effect restored II. We are
not opposed 10 regulation; We are not
opposed to commissions even If they
be necessary instruments OF admins
trative regulation. but we know that
unrestrained. unrestricted compeu-
ton is the very thing that has created
monopoly. Great industrial and tinan-
cial concerns have become SO power
fula that they we're able to crush com
petition and take q free field for them
selves in which they could rule ano
dominate unhindered'
The governor then declared that no
man had ever been made free by being
taken care OF as children by the gov
eminent under which they lived and
then continued
in this age of organization of capi-
tai advances in wages have been won
chiefly by organized labor insisting
upon its rights and its share The
other thing that has worked for the
laboring man. when there has been a
chance for II to work, has been the
great economic law of supply and de-
mand In a free field Of competition.
wherever new enterprises may spring
up. where men fuldn their hopes Of in

more numerous'y become employers
there is an over-increasine market OF
labor and with the increasing market
for labor there is generally a steady

Why Feminine ANGELS?

The feminine angel appears to be
the invention of Christmas card pro-
ducers and monumental masons," as
the makers Of tombstones call them
selves. In Millions heaven there Is no
equality Of sex. for there is never a
mention of foman. even as a celes-
tial camp follower. Guercino's angel
at Fano, which inspired Browning's
beautiful Guardian Angel" is man.
The feminist, however. will hardly cite
this as another example of the unfair
predominance OF man. since even man,
as an angel. has no concern with gov.
eminent or the vote.

DROP IN WHEAT
Due To World Wide Improve
ment In Crops.

Chicago. July 6.-Grain prices
went smashing downward yesterday
because of nearly worldwide inn
provement in crops. Wheat closed
13c to 24(92 S-8c lower; corn was off
2sc to 23@ 5-8c, and oats at a de-
cline Of 5-89ac to l 5-8c. In pro-
visions there was a slant from un-
changed figures to 1O@12ac down.
In wheat the whole tide swept
against the bulls Since the previ-
Gus close the entire n orthwest had
received rain in quantity that re-
moved all doubt as to a ffattering
prospect in that direction. South
Dakota, the dryest state of any, was
soaked four inches. On the other
hand st. Louis and Kansas City sent
word of heavy market ng of new
wheat with harvest conditions ideal.
At the same time cable news was on
the side of sellers, weather conii-
tons having changed most favorably
over the United Kingdom. France
and portions Of Russia.

Separate Cups Optional.

Frankfort, Ky.-The public drink
ing cup act passed by the last session
Of the General Assembly does not
apply to the State hospitals and sep
arate drinking cups are not required
for the patients. Attorney General
Garrett has construed the act and
mailed an opinion to Judge Garrett
Wall, chairman of the Board of Con-
troll of Charitable Institutions. The
Attorney General holds that the
State hospitals are not public places
within the meaning of the law, and
that the inmates of sucl institutions
are under the police power of the
State.
If the physicians of tie hospitals
desire separate drinking cups they
may obtain them and the Attorney
General recommends that the law
might apply to the offices of the SUI
perintendents of the hospitals where
the general public is admitted. He
therefore recommends that separate
drinking cups be used in the offices
of the superintendents.

any for herself.
There Is slacknes there or these
things could not happen" he said.
"A smart girl can tell a shoplifter
half way across the store. II there

ter I shall be obliged to transfer you

There were three store detectives,
all noted for their smartness, and
yet they could not tell shoplifter

ten feet away. Miss Grattan took II
rightly that she was marked down."
but she returned 70 her counter re-
solved to watch with more vigilance
than ever. In the big stores they do
not make the mistake of watching

TO the exclusion of all others. What
the common folks take Is called
stealing; what the wealthy take goes

are watched alike.

N~~Ps"oNs 80 ~ AS-oo'aeo~
An event to be much talked about
in society and another to cause chat
ter from the seventh floor to the
basement at Maxim q Co.'s depart
ment store, occurred the sar week.
The first was the announcement Of
the engagement of Miss Edith Isle
to Mr.. Eugene Nevins, who was one
Of the partners Of the store, and so
ciety agreed that II was fine match.
Society refers to those things the
same way men refer to horses in q
race.
The second event was the general
overhauling OF the store detectives
and many of the sales girls, on ac-
count of the sudden increase in shop
lifting Laces and other valuable
goods not the usual prey Of the shop
litter were being taken IN way to
make the loss q serious one and to
call for increased vigilance
Maxim & Co. had the reputation Of
carrying the finest line OF laces In
the city. There we're four salesgirls
in this department, and the one In
charge was Miss Grattan. She had
held her place for nearly year when
the first theft was reported. The
first and second cases were passed
over, but when the third was re-
ported Miss Grattan was placed un-
der suspicion II was Mr. Nevins
who set the watch on her, and 1t was
to Mr.. Nevins that the report was
made later on.
Lives with her widowed mother:
goes out very little and then with
Mr. Traver, Of the furniture depart
ment. 1t is said that they are en-
gagged. If she takes the lace, she
sells 1t somewhere. Cannot say that
suspicion should attach to any one
of the four at the lace counter"
In the line of business Mr.. Nevins
had once called Miss Grattan to the
Office. She had not trembled and
covered in his presence. On the con-
trary, she had seemed too assured
and snippy to please him. There
must be discipline in department
stores, and when an employee is
before the powers that be, he or she
is expected to act as if life was at
stake. AS Miss Grattan didn't, Mr..
Nevins was displeased with her.
In the general overhauling Miss
Grattan came first. Lace to the
