ment declare that the tariff Is not
the cause of high prices. at any rate
not the chief cause.
What Causes Trusts.
"They are very vague about what
the chief cause is. because as a mat
ter of fact the chief cause Is the ma
nipulation OF prices by the trusts.
And they are tender also towards the
trusts. They know that monopoly
has been built up in this country;
they know that the trusts practice
monopoly. that monopoly was the OBJ
ject of the trusts: but they throw up
their hands in despair when 1t is sug-
gested that monopoly may be de-
stroyed, and reply: No, It is very
unfortunate. but 1t has come to stay.

competition Is not often feasible and
Is sometimes financially wasteful In
the field Of transportation, when rail-
ways have been developed along the
shortest and most seryiceable lines;
but they also know that this class OF
natural monopolies is comparatively
small, and that there is no analogy
between the regulation OF railways
and the regulation of artificial mo-

upon efficiency, but upon control OF

"IN SEARCH OF ARCADYn

Imagine a rich society girl, with a
fondness for gypsy life SO strong that
it carries her each year to the open,
where she lives the life of the typical
gypsy, and then imagine an English
nobeman who had come to this coun-
try for the purpose of finding an heir
ess, but instead of meeting the society
people he had wandered off into the
country, where he became acquainted
with the gypsy girl, and you have the
setting for real romance. This is the
story of ain Search of Already writ
ten by Nina Wilcox Putnam, and
there is touch of the melo-drama here
and there, which it would seem is al
together unnecessary, for the theme
chosen should have offered opportuni-
ties sufficient to have satisfied the
writer. In Search of Already is good
wholesome story and the character of
the heroine is highly painted, making
it possible for her TO wander about the
country unattended without the least

CRED EVEn

Cred Eve' is a typical H. Rider
Haggard story. 1t is tale OF the
middle ages and the picture is one to
make splendid reading. A young ma
tive Engllshman is in love with girl
of his own age, but their families are
at war with each other, one side hav-
ing followed the mercantile side of life
while the other had gone in for honors,
and the side with the honors could not
see the young Englishman as proper
mate for the high spirited daughter,
who, because of her cloak, was always
known as "Red Eve.n A French
nobleman was looked upon as the
proper man to whom this girl should
be wed, aud it during the struggle
to bring about this union that the
author starts his story, and there fol-
low exciting incidents, pictured as
only Haggard essays. There is a war,
battles, and plague, through all of
which the hero and heroine are
plunged and come out safely, and
finally are reunited at the place where
we first see them. The mysterious at
mosphere and adventure hold the at
tention of the reader from first to last &.

Nashville, Tenn, June Patterson
is going to have opposition whether Nc
Millin ever makes up his mind or not
1t is stated on good authority today
that Judge Floyd Estill will announce
for the Sc, q e in the immediate future.
For some time he has been quietly feel
ing out the situation through his
friends and lhese have flooded the state
with letters. These letters do not come
from Judge Estill, but are sent out by
friends and copy of one of these let
tiers the describes the judge: "He has
always been a regular. as you know,
and is strong with them. His recent
record i'll the interest Of the party has
also inclined the indeDendanls his
way
From the time Judge Estilltook such
an interest in the harmony movement,
the question was asked often. "What
does ne want?" IL is known that many
of the leaders wanted Patterson TO 90
to the senate. Luke Lea wanted to
help his own position at Washington.
Gen. D.J. Caldwell wanted to go 10
congress. }. ID. G. Morton wanted TO
be chairman of the state committee,
and now Eslill wants to 60 to the SEN
ate.

| TO crafty his ambition, bnt this ambi-
ton appears not likely to be gratifed.
But there is another motive behind his
entrance into the senatorial race which
| like many other things, shows that
harmody is only on the surface. Judge
l.still has a knife up his sleeve for Pat
terson. The judge was one of those who
led the forlorn hope in the famous judi
! ical race. He was one of the candidates
born of the June bug primary two
Yeas ago and he, with his running
m ates, went down to defeat helping Pat
terson by majority something like
$4,000. Twice after that Patterson had
the opportunity toappointJ Judge Estill
to the bench of higher courts, and each
time looked away from the judge and
gave the place to another. The result is
EstilI is sore and if he can't go to con-
gress he is going to help some one beat
Patterson. In the -Carmack
campaign Judge Estill was the rankest
Patterson man in the state.
