Those who have been irritated al
most to the fighting point by having
a drawing room turned into a clinic
where patients, women especially, d.
lated on their lis with painful plain
ness, or nursery, a kitchen, or a
dressmaking establishment, will hail
these changes. They will delight at
chance to air their own views on
subjects which have something of
education or uplift or good, honest
laughter in them or they will enjoy
the greater opportunity to listen to
others talk on kindred interesting
topics.
Mrs. Wickersham doesn't pretend to
say what shall be discussed. She only
points out the quartet of subjects

proved boring beyond calculation.

A DANGEROUS POWER.

Immediately on his return from

certain interests must not attempt to
bring on a panic in this country in

dent-elect during his absence from the
country had no doubt kept in touch
with the evidence taken before the
committee inquiring into the money
trust He found that $50 men control
ali the money in the country These
men rule the business of the nation.
One witness, an expert, made this
statement:
The firm members and directors
whose affiliations are thus shown
number $50. In the aggregate they
hold 3S5 directorships in Al banks and
trust companies having total re-
sources of $3.50, 200, 600 and total de-
posits of s2,834 100000, so director.

This is a startling condition. Nc

PROSECUTE THE INDIVIDUALS

bination in restraint of trade as there
ever was?
All these prosecutions are a farce.
Until the government indicts the Off
GERS of these big combinations as
criminals, tries them as criminals and,
II they are convicted, sentences them
to the penitentiary, there will be no
effective opposition to the methods of
the trusts. And this is precisely what
the government does not wish to do.
Attorney General Wickersham, who is
in sympathy with these big corpora
tons, who was for years one of their
attorneys, receiving large pay for CIV
ing them legal aid in their work of
fleeing the public, has taken special
pains to prevent any criminal prose
cution that would endanger the per-
sonal safety of the trust officials.
All that has been accomplished has
been in a few cases, convictions of
violating the Sherman antitrust law
and orders for the dissolution of the
trusts, meanwhile the trusts continu-
jng in business, according to their old
ways, with only some unimportant for
NAL changes to which they have read
/ lily adjusted their business without
eliminating the element of conspiracy
against the public.
One can feel no interest whatever
in such prosecutions. We have seen
! their useless results in too many
cases. 1t is about time that the peo-
pie should understand whether this
/ government is dominated by the trusts,
or is itself capable of prosecuting
them successfully and making them
conform to the law.

some people to luncheon on Sunday
last spring, and just at an hour when
all the delicatessens were closed she
discovered that she needed some mus

THE CHRISTMAS TABLE.
The ever-vivid scene of Bethlehem
a father, a mother and a child are
there. No religion which began like
that could ever lose its character.
The first unit of human life, the soul,
is there in the new personality of
childhood. But the second unit of hui
man life is just as truly represented
there, in the family: and so We take
up the angel symphony and give it
new breath, this gladstone day in
Glory 10 God in the highest and on
earth Peace"
In this family at the Christmas sea-
son there is not the same desire for
feasting as on other holidays; but
with little gifts of love and wreaths
of holly, and greens of all kinds, with
the Christmas bells, it tells the story
of gladness and joy and peace. Deco

all the Christmas spirit you can put

The general color scheme for deco.
ration of the home table and most eff,
fective often in the food, is red and

may have for its foundation the top
OF a candy pail. or similar piece OF

of wire 20 inches long for the handle

SUNSHINE IN HOPES SWEET
SMILE.

SMILE.
There comes a faint ray of hope. AS
we peer into the darkness of the high
cost of living we behold a CLINT of
light. 1t is dim, but hopeful. We look
to it like the prisoner in solitary con-
fnement lifts his eyes to the little
fragment of light which Sits through
a tiny chink between the massive
stones of his dismal cell.
Here's the aforesaid hope ray
The butter board has broken at FL.
gin. No longer will the producers Of
butter arbitrarily dictate the price
which the consumer must pay. The
law of supply and demand may have
something to say about it, provided
the commission, or middle-men, do not
prove as dominant over prices as were
the producers. The hope here is in a
reduction in the price of butter.
And here's more hope!
In Philadelphia, New York and
Chicago fighters of exorbitant prices
cs foods have proceeded to smash the
system by which the price OF eggs is
Kept unreasonably high. The House
keepers league is obtaining options
upon unlimited store OF eggs (storage
eggs) and selling for "a cents the
same kind of eggs which are retailing
45d4S cents.
That looks hopeful
And with this information comes
more hope in the report that the Unit
ed States supreme court has destroyed
the anthracite coal monopoly. While
this may have no effect upon the BIZ
luminous coal trade in these fields, il
brings the ray of hope that the fight
upon monopolies and the arbitrary fix.
ing of prices without consideration
of the law Of supply and demand is
/ making some progress.
! II the people will enter into this
/ fight and attack the monarch of mo.
Ipopoiy fundamentally. with supply,
I demand, land monopoly and those

problem of the high cost of living may
