Antitrust Law.

"a private monopoly is indefensi-
BILE and intolerable. We therefore
favor the vigorous enforcement OF the
criminal as we'll as the civil law
against trusts and trust officials, and
demand enactment of such additional
legislation as may be necessary to
make it impossible for private
monopoly to exist in the United
States.
"We favor the declaration by law
of the conditions upon which corpora
uns shall be permitted to engage in
interstate trade, including among
o hers the prevention of holding com
panies of interlocking directors, of
stock watering, of discrimination in
prices. and Of the control by any one
corporation of SO large q, proportion
of any industry as to make it men
ance to competitive conditions.
1--WE condemn the action of the Re-
publican Administration in compro-
missing with the Standard Oil Com
pany and the Tobacco Trust, aud its
failure to invoke the criminal provi-
sions of the anti trust law against the
officers Of these corporations after
the court had declared that from the
undispnted facts in the record they
had violated the criminal provisions
of the law.
1--WE regret that the Sherman anti
trust law has received judicial con-
struction dapriving it OF much OF its
efficacy, and we favor the enactment
o. legislation which will restore to the
statute the strength of which it ha 5
been deprived by such Interpretation

High Cost of Living.

THE high cost OF living IS serious
problem in every American home.
The Republican party in its platform
attempts to escape from responsibility
for present conditions by denying
that they are due to a protective tariff.
We take issue with them on this sub
ject and charge that excessive prices
result in a large measure from the
high tariff laws enacted and maintain
ed by the Republican party and from
trusts and commercial conspiracies
fostered and encouraged by such laws.
And we assert that no substantial re-
lief can be secured for the people un-
til import duties on the necessaries of
life are materially reduced, and thes e
criminal conspiracies broken up.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1912-03-27
Why It Is Called Leap Year.

Once in four years February has
Twenty-Five days. Why is it neces-
sary to vary the calendar in this man
(ner?
Mother Earth makes an annual
journey around the sun, and it takes
1854 days to do it. Therefore not
to get out of line we make the journey
in 365 days for three years and then
make up lost time on the fourth year.
Leap year was first established un.
der Julius Caesar, who made the year
1854 days. He added the leap year
every four years. But as the year is
eleven minutes less than 1854 days,
after sixteen centuries they found
their dates out of line. Pope Greg
DRY, in 1882, found that the equinox
cording to the sun, and he jumped
from the fourth of October to the fiji,
teenth, thus gaining eleven days and
catching up with the sun.
Great Britain didn't accept that Gre
gorian calendar, as it was called, until
1852, when a jump was made from
September I'd to September 14th. This
explains. by the way. how Washington
who was born February 10, 1882, has
his birthday anniversary on Febru-
AIRY 22d. February 10th is old style.
Tor Julian, while February 22d is new
style, or Gregorian.
To remedy future irregularities and
make such jumps unnecessary it was
found that emitting leap year three
times in 400 years the sun and earth
would keep company accurately.
1900 was not a leap year?
Have you forgotten that 1900 was
not leap year?
Neither was 1900 or 100. But the
year 1000 will be leap year. The
rule then is that year numbers divisi
bic by four are leap years, except cen
fury numbers, and they are leap years
when Invisible by 400.
