Seaport Taking Its Old place.

Alden, lately visited by King George,
was a fourishing seaport centuries
before the Christian era. and con-
tinued to thrive under the Roman EN-
pire and after the rise of Mohamme-
dan power In Asia Minor. The adop-
ton of the Cape of Good Hope route
to India, however, deprived 1t of Its
trade, and Alden sank to the squalid,
Insignificant village. Revival came in
Early Victorian days when the over
land route to India was reverted to.
The British government saw the i'm
portance Of Alden as guarding the pas
sage to its eastern empire, and num-
Der Of outrages upon Englishmen by
the Arabs led to the dispatch of an
expedition which took the town in
January, 1899. Since then its trade
and population have increased until
today Alden Is settlement over 70
square miles in extent and one of the
most important of our links of en-
pire."

BUSINESS AND THE SHERMAN
LAW.

In an article entitled THE Bust
ness Situation and Its Relation to
the Political Struggle" in Munsey's
Magazine for April, Frank A. Mum
sey calls attention to the fact that
President Taft two years ago was
urging congress to give the country
relief from the Sherman Law, a law
which the executive now looks upon
with favor.
Early in January, 1901 think
it was on the 9TH of January" says
Mr. Munsey, President Taft sent a
special message to congress, urging
federal Incorporation. and an
amendment to, or some revision of,
he urged that he was most anxious
to conserve the business interests
of the country and not to destroy
them, but he went on to say that II
congress failed to grant the relief
he asked he would be compelled to
enforce the Sherman Law with
vigor, whatever the results.
1.-THE presidential message put
the knife into business and into our
securities clean up to the hilt. That
was the beginning of the break in
the price of securities, the begin
ming of the present depression and
lassitude in business.
This is history, not criticism.
Had congress responded favorably
to President Taft's message. giving
him the legislation he at that time
sought, it is safe TO say that we
should be in far better condition |
oday, and that our factories and |
,ur furnaces would be running on I
ull time and at good prices. But
congress paid little or no attention
O the presidents recommendation,
nd it was early known among the
ig interests that the leaders in con-
ress did not propose to pay any at
ention to it.
Within thirty or sixty days after
lis message was sent to congress,
lie prices of our securities showed
deplorable and alarming shrink
e"
We'd have nothing of this sort
worry us If only we had the good :
nse and the patriotism to restore I
the people their trade rights The 9

scription list large number Of sub
scribers who pay SIS in advance FOR

take advantage of this offer not only
save dollar on subscription each
year, but they are not troubled with

thing in particular that we have no

Go to the churches. visit the thea
tres, stand in the highways and by

fronted with the spectacle of good

The world is the field of action in

striving for advantage. and there
are spies in both camps When the
Master stood upon high mountain
land was tempted of the devil 1t was
demonstrated that even complete
separation from the unclean does
| not entirely remove the danger of
temptation. Avarice and greed, those
too frequently present satalites of a
false ambition, may overtake us in
holes, and these. if encouraged,
will drag down to ruin the possibili-
ty of a most faithful servant. Asso-
citation has it's influences but the
soundness of faith is the scimitar

1t may be, as the esteemed Fort
Worth Record says, that while
Colonel Bryan or any other pro-
gressive democrat may poll an in
creased vote throughout the nation,
at the same time the influence of
such candidacy also boosts the siz
of the vote polled by the republi-
cans. And yet. admitting this 20

in harm has resulted. This is, or it
is supposed to be, representative
government, therefore the more

the more representative does the re-
suit appear However, we are free

Pennsylvania Boss Expects to
Manage Things.

Chicago, Aug s.-The method by
which William Finn OF Pittsburgh and
the other Roosevelt leaders In Pennsyl-
vania expect to keep control of the
republican state organization and at
the same time to work for the election
OF Col. Roosevelt through the new
progressive party, has been explained
by E. A. Van Valkenburg Of Phfladel.
phia. Mr.. Van Valkenburg said the
republican candidates for state office
would be placed also on the Wash
ington's party ticket, together with as
many Of the, republican candidates for
congress as would pledge themselves
to support the progressive national
ticket.
Mr.. Films organization will thus
support both the republican state tick
ct and the Washington party, and its
candidates will obtain both the Taft
and the Roosevelt votes. 1t was ex-
planned that under the law in Pennsly-
vania voter Is member OF the party
for majority of whose candidates he
voted at the previous election.
Mr.. Finn said that he was there
fore legally q republican.
