81 do not concur in the Views OF
the minority that the true remedy for
Industrial OWLS does not lie in the dis
solution OF the Industrial trusts l
am of the opinion that the dissolution
OF the great Industrial combinations
into their integral parts would do
much TO restore trade TO natural
fdcnce of the people in tho business
situation and revive cniG,netc.al pros
perity.
The proposition tina, the govern
ment shall recognize and permit TO
exist trusts, monopol!es and comb
nations in restraint OF trade. and then
regulate them by legislative control,
is one calculated TO suppress individ-
ual enterprise and destroy competition.
1t Is conceded that such policy would
result necessarily in tho liking OF
prices OF tho products OF such COM
bination by law. II government fixes
the price OF tho finished product. must
It not also fix the price OF the raw
material and OF the labor that CON
verts IT.
1t Is urged that large industrial
combinations can produce more cheap
ly than small ones. This is a funda-
mental tallacy. from which proceeds ;he
patcrnalistic doctrine that government
shall recognize and permit monopo-
listic combinations. and fix the price or
their product.
"rhc Federal government by proper
legislation. can resolve great combi-
nations into their integral parts. and
then by wise and just regulation Of
corporate powers maintain Il natural
and healthy condition OF trade 1t Is
plainly It's duty TO do so.

W0MAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION
 Tobacco
Tobacco

A minister who had been To- cated for some time decided to join the conference again. Of course he was subjected to the same examination as were the boys" who were joining for the first time. After he had answer ed satisfactorily every question put to him, and he was about to retire, the examining committee said Wait, wait! There is one more question. Do you use tobacco?" To which the appli cant replied. Those that preach est to another should not steal, dost those steal?" 'Ah." they , replied, We are in and you are out"
 Now, it seems to us, that, with all the scientific testimony with which even the most careless reader can not help being faml- liar, and when it has been wrought into the law or rules of a great church, there would be a great cleaning out of the Augean stables. It does pot only seem shame, but it is really down. right sin that a christian, much less minister should add to the billion dollars that is spent every year for tobacco, when there are so many channels in which the money could be used for the justification of the race.
 There is more money spent for tobacco every year, in the United States than there is for bread, christian missions, public ed cation, boots, shoes aad all cot ton goods. This amount, if laid in dollars, would run a line 23694 miles, long, and would reach from New York to San FranSis> co more than nine times, or near ly once around the world.
 No wonder the good suffers. If all the money which christians use for tobacco were put into the civic improvement of the town, there would not only be more wholesome atmosphere for the young folks but the user of tob- acco would feel cleaner, health fer and would not carry with him such an offensive oder.
