BY FREY g. COLLINS.

The fire insurance adjusters fin
ished up their work with the Frey &

recommended settlement that is per-

Collins and the local agents.
Frey G Collins carried a stock OF

They carried insurance to the amount
of $4,000 in nine eompaies. The in-

Messrs. Frey & Collins speak in the
highest terms of the adjusters and
the local agents who carried their in
surance- The fire occurred Friday
night. The adjusters arrived from
Denver Monday morning. BY Tuesday
morning they had completed their in
vestigation and recommended a set
tlement- The insurance money for the
loss viii probably be paid over in cash
to Messrs. Frey & Collins by next
Monday.
This fire has been a hard blow to
Messrs- Frey and Collins. While the
settlement with the insurance COM
panies was perfectly satisfactory and
their insurance covered practically all
their physical loss, still there will be
a big loss to them on the seasons

item. There were 80 or 40 aldermen

.pcrience has shown that any city gov
ernment so constituted-with power
ard responsibility scattered among a
larse councilmanic body OF obscure
persons, whose Official interest anu
vision are largely limited to their OWL
particular wards-is sure TO develop
graft sooner or later. We trust the
present unpleasantness will inspire
Detroit to adopt a commission form Of
government. But why should any city
wait for the inevitable graft exposure
before discarding the numerous, ward
elected council that is SO highly fay-
oratle TO the development OF graft and
SO highly unfayorable for every useful
purpose? Detroit might easily select
five men, chosen AT large. who would
possess the ability and character that

would combine ability and character
alike is completely out of the Ques'

Wilson's Program

An adroit Republican charge against
Woodrow Wilson Is that he failed to
change the corporation laws of New
Jersey, the home of the trusts. "The
chief character OF the trusts" says
the New York Globe, whose lax laws
have encouraged trust organizations,
finds fault with national administra-
tons because there are trusts. Not
since Satan rebuked sin has there
been anything more palpably incon-
gruous."
The complete answer to this charge
Is that Woodrow Wilson is not the or
iginator but the enemy of the New
Jersey trusts, as well as Of all other
American trusts. The remedy for the
trusts is not to be found in any
amendment OF the laws or New Jer-
sey. because straightway they would
reipcorporate under the laws OF some
other state, but In the enforcement
OF the national antitrust law, the
Sherman law, to which Woodrow VIII
SON, standing on the democratic plat
form, Is pledged.
Roosevelt when president fired
blank cartridges at the trusts. Taft
has redoubled the volley. Roosevelt
now proposes federal protection for
the trusts, regulated and recognized
monopoly. The Democratic position Is
that "a private monopoly IL indefens-
ible and intolerable."
The reason therefor Is that q
private monopoly means that the peo-
pie are to be victimized- 1t means
that prices are to be fixed, not by the
natural law OF free competition, but
by the greed of those who have CON-
troll OF an article OF necessity.
Not only II Woodrow Wilson the
champion of the people against monop-
oily. proposing to employ the direct
remedy by enforcing the Sherman an
thrust law. but indirectly and effec-
lively he proposes to reinforce that
remedy by tariff revision downward.
The tariff" said Havemeyer of the
sugar trust, lis The mother OF the
trusts II was a frank confession.
By means OF the tariff the trust has
monopoly against foreign competi-
ton and makes profits enough to club
out OF business any rash domestic
competition.
The tariff and the trusts are re-
sponsible for the high cost OF living.
Woodrow Wilson proposes as a rem
edy the rule OF right tariff for reve-
nue. only because every dollar OF
tariff beyond what Is needed for reve-
nue. Is plumber under the name Of pro-
tection), and enforcement Of the Sher@

olies because monoplies are op-
