The mind OF man never conceived
a more dangerous scheme in govern
ment than is proposed by George Per
kins as TO trusts.
1t would strike down the power of
the states TO control trusts.
It would take from congress and
the courts the power of regulation
and put it in the hands of a commits
sion appointed by the president.
1t would give to the president
power above the states, power above
the courts, power above congress, and
power above the people.
1t would confer on the president,
already exercising greater power
than the king of England or the en-
peror of Germany, an extraordinary
increase of authority that would give
him absolute power over the whole
industrial life OF the United States.
II would give TO the president
through a commission of his selec-
ton, power to fix a minimum wage
for all the industrial millions.
II would give 10 the president,

why not pay the prisoners for their

CURRENT COMMENT

had fallen to 100000 tons in 1906,
a decrease of nearly two-thirds.
In 1866 only two steamers, of 5000
tons each, were built in the United
States for foreign trade. In 1906 Eng
land built SIS steamers, of 1900, 900
tons in all.
Americas natural resources should
give the United States a position in
maritime commerce equaling that of
Great Britain. The United States is
the wealthiest country in the world,
is the greatest producer of iron, steel,
and coal, and possesses a seacoast of
thousands of miles, with great bays
and CULTS extending into the interior,
which ought to make US great ship
builders and carriers.
Why the contrast between England
and the United States? That high
protection is principally to blame is
quite plain. The building of ships in
the United States is practically pro-
hibited by the increased cost of iron,
steel, and other materials 1t cost
sci in the United States than in Eng
land. Even if an American ship is
only repaired abroad, the owners must
pay a tax on the amout of the repairs
before the vessel can return home.
Lloyd-George, the leader of the lib
eral party in parliament, gives two
reasons for the supremacy of the Brit
ish slipping over American:
First, Eng.and's free trade policy,
which makes Great Britain the mar
ket place of the world, at the same
time giving British shipbuilders and
manufacturers the advantage Of cheap
raw materials.
/ Second, Americas high protection
policy, which shuts out imports, there

swer. This can easily be shown.
In 1907 England's total foreign trade
amounted TO 1851 100000. OF this
amount, "A per cent represented trade
with foreign countries, while only 20
per cent represented trade with Brit
ish possessions. This shows that
Great Britain would still lead the
world in shipping if she had no colon
ial trade. England's foreign trade be
tween 1903 and 1903 has increased
five times as much as her colonial
trade.

worried each morning, has herself to
blame if he is failure in his work.
This is not the first railroad COM
pany that has decided to discharge
employees because of domestic troubles.
One OF the greatest railroad systems
in the country has had this unwritten
law for years.
At first thought it seems heartless
rule. There ane domestic troubles that
can't be helped, it will be argued. But
consider, for instance, the RESPONSE
bility OF the engineer of a passenger
train. If his mind is occupied unhap-
PLY, it is not in fit condition to be on
the alert every moment, as 1t must be
to safeguard the human freight he
carries. A conductor who is worrying
over his troubles at home isn't in fit
condition to grasp the contents of or
ders or to transmit them to his engi-
neer.
A man who must listen to COM
plants and curtain lectures, who is
harried by a fretting wife and unruly
children during his time at home,
! hasn't had enough rest of heart and
mind and body rightly TO perform his
| duties as the family breadwinner.
There is really no excuse for most
family troubles. They are brought
about by discomfort, mismanagement
self1shness, unwillingness to bear and
/ forbear.
Much of the home peace lies within
the hands of the wife. II she will
not do her share to preserve the peace

THE soCIALIsrIC COLONEL.


Theodore Roosevelt a socialist?
Yes, there is a sense in which Colonel
Roosevelt may be classed as much a
socialist as Marx or Debs. One thing
al. socialists agree upon, and that is
TO legalize monopoly. The socialism
OF Marx and Debs seeks to legalize
monopoly in the hope that all the peo-
pie shall participate in the proprietor
ship. Colonel Roosevelt seeks 70
legalize monopoly so that only a few
shall participate in the proprietorship.
What difference does it make
whether this monopoly is controlled
by a governmental bureaucracy or
controlled by an autocratic coterie
that controls the government?
