the efficiency of large-scale 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 Ell

not grow indefinitely with increasing
size, What the most efficient size ID
can be learned definitely only by ex-
perience. The unit Of greatest eff
cheney Is reached when the disadvan-
lagos OF size counterbalance the ad-
vantages The unit OF greatest EN-
cheney Is exceeded when the disad-
vantages of size outweigh the advan-
tages. The history OF American trusts
makes this clear. That history shows:

Governor Wilson is receiving a
most cordial reception all through
the west. In what has long been
republican territory and in those
states that were supposed to be
strongly welded to the bull moose
candidacy, his welcome has been the
warmest and most enthusiastic. At
no time in the history of presidential
campaigns has candidate met with
so much encouragement The cor
respondents OF the big newspapers
of the country that are accompanying
the New Jersey governor on his In
Vasion of the west, unite In the 0pin-
ion that his campaign in point OF
enthusiasm and popular applause is
unrivaled In the history of the coun'
try. This is the more remarkable
from the fact that Wilson is not a
spell binder in the popular sense oil
that word. He does not practice
any of the arts of the professional
orator. What Is the secret Of his
power? Why, such overwhelming
enthusiasm? Woodrow Wilson is a
new man in national politics. But he
ls armed with a message. He is the
man OF the hour. There is almost a
unanimous opinion everywhere that
he will be the next president of the
United States. His recent challenge
to the bosses of his party in his own
state evokes the admiration of the
people, regardless of former political
ties, and strengthens his hold upon
the American people. Thousands,
therefore, turn out to see the man
who breaches a new political gospel,
They are not attracted by the bland
ishments of oratory but by the in
nate greatness of the man.-Hutchin-
