straint of Interstate trade in order
that merchants may have before them
in codifed form clear enumeration OF
certain things they may not do and be
thus relieved of the so called glitter
ing generality" of the statute. The
difficulty Of carrying out this sugges
ton will be found when the drafts
man comes to write such statute.
| am inclined to think that formu-
lating the various kinds of unfair trade
and undue restraints of trade which
would properly be included in such a
statute will add little new to the pop
ular understanding of the meaning OF
the Sherman act, although, as the pres
dent suggests in his message. it may
result in shortening the task of the
prosecuting officers of the government.
But there should certainly be moth
ing i'm any additions to the statute to
enable concern whose ingenuity had
devised some new and unspecified
method Of destroying competition to
plead immunity from punishment be-
cause that particular method of re-
straint of trade was not made the sub
ject Of express prohibition.

localities. although they may engage
TO certain extent In business be-
tween the states. AS rule. these
small concerns do not appeal general
ly to the public for their capital.
The first result Of the provision for
such federal Incorporation would be
that those who are actuated by n de-
sire TO conform with the law. but who
are sincerely In doubt as to its require
ments. would promptly avail them
selves Of 1t. Others would rapidly fol-
low, because the advantages of sub
jccting themselves to such federal con-
troll and of submitting to such super
vision and publicity would include not
only practical insurance against pros
ecution under the Sherman law, but a
stability of their securities otherwise
unattainable. It is possible there
would be no need for further legisla-
ton. On the other hand, congress
might find It wise later to make such
incorporation compulsory in the case
of all corporations doing an interstate
business and offering their stocks or
bonds for public sale.

The Worst Law Ever

The Kentucky Legislature will prob
ably never enact a worse law than the
bill passed by the Senate Wednesday,
raising the real estate exemption from
81 900 to $4,000. Better reduce it to
$500 or eliminate it altogether. 1t is a
hardship ON the honest man of moder-
ate means. II he owned only $1,000
worth of land he would not be entitled
to one cent of credit legally, and would
have to execute mortgage or involve
his friends to borrow even 500. The
honest poor man wants no exemption
whatever. He wants his property to
be subject TO his debts so that every
time he wants to borrow little money
he will not be compelled to put mort
gage on record in the Clerks Office
where everybody may see 1t, to say
nothing Of the additional expense.
Here on the West Virginia border we
see practical working of the two laws.
West Virginia has no exemption law +.
II is infinitely better for everybody ex
cept the dishonest man and he is not
entitled to much consideration at the

all opposition. does not exercise 1t fully
or does not exercise 1t SO as TO arouse
general popular dissatisfaction. I'm
der the Sherman law alone no such
thing can exist.
In all this discussion l use the word
trust" to mean combination so great
as to amount to potential monopoly.
No absolute monopoly has grown up
under the Sherman act. There always
has been small percentage of the bust
ness which was not acquired by CIV
en- combination. but trust has with
in itself that power which will enable
1t either to become monopoly or vir-
tually to exercise all the control which
would be inherent in a monopoly.
Optional Federal Incorporation.
There are those who believe federal
incorporation should be made compul-
sorry, a prerequisite to the transaction
of interstate commerce. l do not be-
lieve that, because l think that the
desired end can be achieved by max
ing it optional. 1t Is not easy to work
a radical change In existing condi-
lions. But the federal Incorporation
act should be made so attractive to
legitimate industry as gradually and
perhaps rapidly to attract those en-
gagged In interstate commerce In a
large way. All those who wish to
combine or consolidate existing busi-
nesses which are more or less COM
petitiye, thus giving rise to questions
as to the applicability of the Sherman
law, would realize that federal incor-
poration would so greatly facilitate
the legitimate conduct Of that busi-
ness that they would not be willing to
forego its advantages.
On the other hand, the faithful and
rigid enforcement of the Sherman law
will soon demonstrate the folly OF try
ing TO carry on a business which Is
not legitimate. New enterprises would
be formed under a federal incorpora-
ton law. and perhaps after time
Eve or ten years possibly-the condi-
lions might become such that con-
gress could properly prescribe that
after given date no interstate COM
merce should be carried on by any
corporation not organized under the
federal law.
My view has always been. however
that the federal incorporation law
should not be applied to small con-
Germs; that the great machinery OF the
federal government which II would be
necessary 10 establish for such pur'
pose ought not TO be directed TO little
concerns that can he more properly

Destroyed BY Fire

Bardstown, KY, March 1.-The coll
lege building at the monastery of the
Trappist Monks at Gethsemane was
totally destroyed by fire this afternoon,
entaling loss of about $2S, 900. In
the building there were several very
valuable paintings. All the students
lost their clothes in the fire.
The Abbey of Our Lady, at Geth-
semane, is the oldest in the country OF
the Cistercian order, and it was only
by hard fight that the other buildings
were saved. The monastery in Nelson
county was founded over 100 years ago
by the Trappist Monks, who came from
France.

Law Effective as 1t Stands.

There is, in my judgment, no occa-
sion to amend the Sherman law. That
law is effective as it stands. To amend
1t would merely necessitate further ju-
dicial Interpretation before it would
be as clear and as enforceable as it Is
today and would go far to destroy the
good results of twenty years of judicial
Interpretation. But there is possible
method of simplifying that law by ad-
dition or supplement, not by amend
ment. For example. it has been pro-
posed-and the president has stated

How Gold Pens Are Made

The tiny tip of white metal seen on the under side of the point of gold pen may be of platinum, but it is more likely to be iridium. Iridium is a very hard metal and it is expensive it costs about four times as much as gold. The purpose of the iridium tip is, of course, 10 give the pen a more durable tip.
 The gold pen maker buys his gold at the assay office in bars of pure 2i karat gold which he melts and alloys with his silver and copper to the degree of fine ness required. Gold of II karats is used in the manufacture of the best American gold pens, that being the degree of fine- ness deemed most suitable for pen use. but good pens made in this country for sale in France are made of IS karats, the French government requiring that all articles exposed for sale in that country as gold shall be of not less than IS karats
 The gold from which the pens are to be made is rolled and re-roled until what was originally a thick, heavy bar of gold has been rolled into thin gold ribbon about three feet in length by four inches vide Then this gold ribbon is put into a machine which stamps out of it pen shapes, all still flat Then on the tip If each of these pen shapes is fused the rid ium point and then the shapes go to sitting machine, which cuts the slit in the pen. From the sitting machine the pen goes through another, which gives them their rounded, familiar pen form, and then the pens are ground and polished and fin isbed ready for use.
 American gold pens in fountain pens are as dip pens are sold in every coun- try in Europe in competition with pens of British or of German manufacture, and under the same competition they are sold throughout the world, in South Amer ica, Africa, Japan. China, wherever pens are used-New York Sun.

Vanity a Valuable Asset

Tc borrow a figure of speech from our old friend David Harum, a certain amount o' vanity is good for girl It keeps her dressing table in order, dresses her hair becomingly and prevents her skirt anl
 blouse from parting company at the back.
 This same vanity that is so deeried as a feminine weakness, a sort of artificial infection of the ego resulting from over valuation of self If expressed within rec son, is likely to prove a boon and a defense to it's owner. In fact. 1t Is all ways better to overestimate than to un- derestimate oneself, because the higher we place ourselves mentally the farther we ascend in the scale of endeavor and being, The trouble is that too often this vanity is weak, namby-pamby sort of thing given to bulging clothes presses. gaLdy jewelry and unpleasant forcing of self upon others. Such vanity may be found preenng itself before the mirror and mincing along In French heeled slip pers that spell torture at every step.
 Did you ever stop to think that such aping of the peacock who struts and gloats all day is nothing more nor less than misdirected pride and that if prop erly curbed it might develop into truly admirable quality? The girl utterly de- void of pride-which is after all but a higher type of vanity-is certain to be shallow and characterless, If thrown upon her own resources for livelihood she may always be found at the bottom of the ladder, She is careless about her person, about her home or room and about her habits Her favorite way of meeting difficulties is by saving, Whats the use?" and carry out the words in ac- ffon

Dramatic Critics Duty

From the Houston Chronicle.
 "The plays the thing" said "Pl Hamlet" but the play is naught wit the criticism. The most effective icism is the silent one of the play-s when they stay away from bad and Il ferent plays. The applause of the points of a good play helps, and the fashioned hiss, rarely heard in the A iean theatre nowadays fmore freque they boo a play in England), is effe when it is deserved.
 The printed criticism in a newspaps magazine is attracting more alter than 1t used to, for the reason that gradual education of the public brought about demand for cal W work. "The ideally perfect dran critic" writes Henry Austin Clapp. noted New England critic, in his re iscences, ''even in Paris, London New York, is rara avis" The re Is that so many qualifications are essary: the aspirant for first honors l bo a literary Admirable Crichton Walkley, Emile Faguet and William ter rolled into one.
