They Cannot Quarrel.

Prom the Providence Journal.
The correspondence between the Presi-
dent and the retiring Ambassador at
Paris. in which each offers the other the
most profound assurances OF distinguished
consideration, should set at rest the
rumors that the classmate Of Mr.. Roose-
welt can no longer serve the present ad-
ministration. To be sure, such decIara-
tions are often perfunctory, but in the
case Of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bacon the
warmth Of the language has such a ring
Of sincerity that 1t forbids a cynical

DR.. Wiley's Case.

The complete exoneration of Dr.
Wiley by the House committee which
has been investigating affairs in the
Department OF Agriculture was to have

The suggestion of the committee that
some change ought TO be made so that

The result in Maine may be expected
to be something like this Wilson,
$4,000; Taft, 42,600; Roosevelt. 21,30O.
The returns from the recent Yer
mont election show, in round figures,
that the joint Republican and third
party vote was eight per cent. short
of the Republican vote four years ago,
while the Democratic vote in that
state shows a gain of twenty-five per
cent. over that of 1908. 1t is of spe-
cial interest to speculate what will
happen next November throughout
the nation if the Republican and
tickets happen to be affected as
the gubernatorial vote this month
in Vermont has been affected. The
New York Evening Post has done
some interesting ngUr.ng along this
line and as net l,su., ii IS shown
that, under the contingencies ino"Don-

ed by the Post follow,
To compute this result we should
have to deduct per cent. from the
vote cast for Taft four years ago and
apportion the remaining vote In the
ratio of 81 to IS between Taft and
Roosevelt, and we should have to add
30 per cent. to Bryan's vote In 1908.
and give the demnition total to
Woodrow Wilson. In other words, give
Taft 81 per cent. and Roosevelt 50
per cent. of IaIt's vote four years
ago, and give Wilson 1875 per cent. of
Bryan's vote four years ago.
The result in round numbers would
be as follows, SO far as regards Taft
and Wilson.

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST
Expected Economies from CombIna-
tlon" Do Not MateriaiIze.
Iouis D. Brandeis in Collier's.)

Uouis D. Brandeis in Coller's.)
Leaders OF the new (Third Term)
party argue that industrial monopo-
lies should be legalized, lest we lose
the efficiency of large. production
and distribution. No argument could
be more misleading.
1t may be safely asserted that in
America there Is no line OF business
In which all or most concerns or
plants must be concentrated in order
to attain the size OF greatest etii-
cheney. For while a business may be
too small to be efficient, efficiency does
not grow indefinitely with increasing
size. What the most efficient size is
can be learned definitely only by ex-
perience. The unit Of greatest efii-
cheney is reached when the disadvan-
tages OF size counterbalance the ad-
vantages. The unit of greatest efIi-
cheney is exceeded when the disad-
yantages of size outweigh the adyan-
tages. The history Of American trusts
makes this clear. That history shows:
First-No conspicuous American

for increased efficiency. Expected

but they have never been compell-
ing motive in the formation OF any
trust. On the contrary. the purpose OF
combining has often been to curb efl-
cheney or even to preserve inefi-
cheney, thus frustrating the natural
law OF the survival Of the fittest.
Second-No con8picuously pro'ita-
BILE trust owes its profits largely TO
superior efficiency Some trusts have
been very efficient. as have some in.
dependent concerns; but conspicuous
profits have been secured mainly
through control OF the market
through the power OF monopoly to fix
prices-through this exercise OF the
taxing power,
Third-No conspicuous trust has
been efficient enough to maintain long

portion OF the business OF the country

time to time. Its successful competl
