DISSOLUTION HELD UNWISE
1ronmaster Says Government Super.
vision Would Aid Industrial
Combinations.

PHILADELPHIA, January l2.-Charles
NJ. Schwab, ironmaster extraordinary
and guest of honor last night at one OF
the most remarkable dinners of the year.
declared strongly for federal regulation
of industrial combinations i'm some such
manner as the interstate commerce COM
mission now regulates the railroads, and
made an earnest plea against the break
ing up of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration into smaller units under federal
antitrust proceedings.
The demonstration given to Mr..
Schwab in the magnificently decorated
ballroom of the Bellevue Stratford had
as participants United States Senator
Boies Penrose. the governor. Mayor
Blankenburg and men of national note
in the financial world and in the steel
and iron industries. More than 400 OF
these men surrounded him in the recep-
ton that preceded the dinner and in the
feast itself. Hundreds of radiantly
gowned women We're in the balcony OF
the ballroom, and their pleasure and ap-
plause added materially to the brilliance
and gaycty of the spectacle.

one thing necessary to make the United
States in general and Pennsylvania in
particular pre-eminent in the iron and

that there shall not be such government
tai action as would substitute indiv dual
ism for the economical concert and CO.
operation that now exist in the United
States Steel Corporation and in other or
2anlZat OnS like it
Il admit that there are evils in connec-
ton with the conduct of some Of these
great combinations of capital, and, with
that condition before me, / suggest that
there should be some form of federal SUI
pervfson such. for instance, as the in
terstate commerce commission exercises
owe rthe railroads. We all remember the
outcry that was raised by the railroads
themselves against the establishment of
this commission. yet every railroad OFF,
Ger now cheerfully adm is that its estab-
lishment was the greatest blessing that
has ever come to the roads.
Makes Great Prediction.
"A similar tribunal would be of the
same benefit to such combinations of
industrial activities and capital as. the
United States Steel Corporation. 1t would
permit the introduction of economies
which already have made this country
powerful competitor for the steel business
of the world, and have ranked Pennsyl-
vania as foremost of the states in the
prosperity that results from these econo-
mics.
Il predict that within a comparatively
few years this country will be produc-
ing 10000 900 tons of steel a year. and
then all the other countries of earth will
have to stand from under. In those days
eastern Pennsylvania will be the center of
the iron and steel trade and this state
will have emphasized its rank as leader
Of the industrial communities of the
world

BERLIN, December 80, 1911
A case which has just been heard be-
for the higher military court at Breslau
brings to light peculiar and somewhat
humorous incident of the recent German
army maneuvers. The prosecution
brought an action against Lieut.. Won
Heyderbreck of the Gels rifle regiment.

of causing grievous bodily injury and ma

stated before the court were as follows

His Success Startling.
The lieutenant carried out his orders
with startling success. UnchallenGed by
sentry or outpost, his company approach
ed the sleeping camp of dragons and
opened fire with blank cartridges at close
quarters. The effect was wild stam-
pede. Horses broke loose from their

the darkness, falling over tent ropes and
breaking the poles. by which several men
were injured.

adopting his view of the matter, gave
Judgment of acquittal.

The Liquor rafc

If the liquor traffic has a single
honest, impartial, disinterested advo-
cate on its side, the world has yet to
hear his testimony. Thus far the tes-
timony has all been against it. To
the ten thousand testimonies of 9TH
ers, let us add that of the Scotch law
advocate, as given in an address be-
fore the Social Science Association
at Aberdeen. He said:
Il do not venture to assert that ex-
cessive indulgence in strong drinks
will in every case certainly lead to
other immoralities, or to crime. But
no one who has had the experience
in dealing with the criminal classes of
the population can entertain the least
doubt that intemperance is the dead
weight which keeps those classes sunk
in poverty and vice; that it is the
very atmosphere in which crime
thrives and spreads"
is 1t not strange and terrible indif-
ference that tolerates such a destruc-
tive traffic in a Christian land?-

Nebraska Results

John H. Morehead was elected the
next governor of Nebraska, defeating
Governor Aldrich, the Republican
candidate, by about 10000 majority
The rest of the Republican state tick
ct was elected. The state senate is
Republican, while the house is Dem
ocratic. 1t is not believed the legis-
lature can repeal either the Alberts
law or the o'clock law. The cleo
ton of Morehead is a victory for the
liquor forces. In winning this victory
they had the active, energetic sup
port of at least four ministers, who
advocated Mr.. Morehead's election
by sending out letters in his behalf.
George w. Norris has been elected
United States senator, which should
make every temperance man rejoice.
Norris is counted on to give cordial
support to the Kenyon-Sheppard bill.
In some of the legislative districts
the drys won victories. Taking it all
in all, the good people of Nebraska

Coming International Prohibition Conference

1t is now officially determined that
the Third international Prohibition
Conference will be held at Milan,
Italy, September 1928 of next year.
These dates coincide with the Four
teenth International Congress Against
Alcoholism for which the Italian gov
eminent is issuing official invitations
to all Of the governments of the world
to appoint accredited delegates to at
tend
A representative of the Internation-
al Prohibition Confederation of Lon
don purposes visiting Milan to arrange
for prohibition headquarters, hotels,
etc. 1t is expected that the railways,
ETC., will quote advantageous rates for
the special party which the confeder-
alton expects to conduct from Lon
don, Paris and other points en- route,
as we'll as for those attending the
congress generally. Prohibitionists
from many countries will be present.
Dr. Ferrari Francesca, of Milan, one
of the Italian vice presidents of the
confederation, and the honorary resi-
dent secretary Of the congress, is
making advance arrangements, in con-
sultation with the committees in Ger
many Switzerland and England. His
Eminence the Archbishop of Milan
has promised his powerful co-opera
ton in every way in order to make
the congress as complete success as
the previous ones. The authorities
and citizens will probably observe
special festivities in honor of the con-
gress.
The preliminary program of the
Anti Alcoholic Congress embraces
a number of attractive correlated fea-
lures. They include Pathology,
Moral Decadence, Medication, Eco
Monies, Capitalization, Non-Alcoholic
Products, Industrialism, Substitutes
for Taverns, Housing, Baths, Restau
rants, Probation Systems, Asy1ums,
Limitations of Sale, Education and
international Solidarity in the War
against Alcoholism.
The congress will not be of dis
cussional nature, and the effort of the
authorities will be to keep it absolute
ly neutral but the International Pro-
hibition Conference will of course re-
tain its usual freedom in these re-
spects, while observing the general
high plane of this congress, in COM
mon with its distinguished prede
cessors.

from Cape Town:
l am desired by Lord Gladstone to

1t is needless to say that His Excel

ever, unable to comply with your spe-

INSANITY AND THE BLUES"
Detection Generally Due to Dlsor

Not the Brain.

II is arsounced that among the
minor forms of mental disorder that

university is that Familiarity known as
"the blues" the New York World re-
marks. II Is argued that the dejec.
tion Is due to a species of insanity,
mild indeed at the beginning but liable
to become dangerous. As one author
fly puts 1t, the disease is so slight as
not to be noticed except by those very
close to the sufferers 1t is the pur-
pose of the experimenters to make n
the subject of suggestive treatment"
We haye here what has every ap.
pearance of being another attempt to
account learnedly for something that
isn't so. The detection known as "the
blues" has it's seat generally in the
stomach or In the liver rather than
In the brain. Suggestive treatment
by the ablest of alienists or hypnotists
or even Christian scientists would not
do the patient half so much good as a
dose of calomel followed by a sane
system of eating and living.
Furthermore, the man to whom ev-
erything looks blue is not more crazy
than the man to whom everything
looks rosy. The victim of blues doesn't
buy gold bricks or speculate with
trust funds or organize third parties.
