SEASON WAVES
TOR WATER SPORTS

Water sports are losing devotees as
the season wanes. AT the lake front
some faithful few are being reward ed
by water that has just the right tenn
perature. a condition seldom found in
the great lakes.
Motor boats can be seen occasional
" on the Calumet but not with
enough frequency to evidence a large
following for this sport At the boat
clubs festivities fte at present rare.
With the arrival of cold weather the
social season win begin. 1t promises
to be a brilliant year.
Individual races always occur every
now and then on the Calumet, and as
a general rule are not a sporting
proposition, but merely a chance in
formal affair The Hammond Boat
club has no events scheduled for the
fan. although something may develop
at any time.

AN ILL-PAID HERO

MT. French Strother, writing in the February Worlds Work about c. P. Rodg- ers' transcontnental flight, says that financially the trip was disappointment. He received s5 a mile for his flight from New York to Fort Worth; and from Fort Worth to Pasadena, A mile and all the purses he could arrange for on the side. He thus received about $20.00O from his packers and about 5000 or $400o prize money. But his machine cost 5000 and repairs cost about s17,0OO more, so his net return was small.
 But he unconsciously summed up the significance of his flight at Pasadena. after he had heard the last of the ap- plause and received the last congratula- tions and had laid off the American flag they had thrown across his shoulders. when he placed his hand on his mothers s shoulder and said:
 Never mind about the money. It don't amount to much that way-but did it. didn't I?"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-18
Competition is Not Dead

Capitalist after capitalist has risen up to declare that competition is dead. "The era of competition" said An drew Carnegie, "in large industries has passed away" and J. Pierpont Morgan said, You can't unscramble eggs" It is not necessary to quote the lesser lights, men in the George W. Perkins class. All these agree, however, that competition is dead.
 But now comes James J. Hill, who is as big captain of industry as any of them, and he says competition is not dead and never will be. "There will be competition, he says, "as long as the old rule of the survival of the fittest endures. You will have to change human nature; you will have to remove all the selfish motives that dominate all animate things if you de- sire to, do away with competition. Competitionawill be operating as it is today'long after the statutes you place upon the books have been worn away and the books are crumbled."
 The survival of the fittest is cruel rule, and MT. Hill should have added that it as well as monopoly needs regulation. Competition has it's uses, but unregulated competition is very apt to do almost as much harm as good. Both competition and the trusts need regulation and this will un- doubtedly come in the form of federal control, because all large enterprises are engaged in interstate trade. Att torney General Wickersham was who'll ly right when at St. Louis he advo- cated the federal control of corpora tions. Federal control of interstate trade is the great problem of the future.
 No doubt James J, Hill is also right when he says that competition is in- evitable and necessary to progress. And when plans are formulated for the control of interstate trade the survival of competition should be recognized, and it should be regulated even as monopoly should be. Both need regulation in a predatory busi- ness age. qsaSA&
