WANT A REAL KING
TO RULE BAVARIA
People Are Asking for New Prince Re-
gent to Assume the Title of Lud-
wig III. and Be Ruler in
Name Too,

Munich, Bavaria. Dec. l3-The de-
mand for an actual king instead of the
shadow of a monarch, is spreading wide
ly in Bavaria. The clerical newspapers
in close touch with the Bavarian cabi-
net to-day join the Liberals in urging a
new prince regent to assume the crown
as Ludwig III.
The change would involve complicated
constitutional alterations but the most
delicate point in connection with the
matter is finding suitable form in which
to communicate the popular wish to the
regent himself.

FENEFICENT COMRINATIONS.

@ o MUCH has been said by political demagogues
- and ignorant persons against industrial combi-
nations without discriminating between those combina-
tons that good and those that bad, that it is
refreshing to hear something Of sensible nature in
relation to those combinations which benefit the
country and It's people. julius Kirby Jr, president
of the National Association of Manufacturers has
written article the relation OF industrial comb-
nations to national welfare He takes the ground
that industrial combination has been the prime factor
in the growth and progress Of the world To destroy
it remove il from the activities Of life, he contends
would mean the stoppage of development. He adds
that it would the gradual decay of much that has
been developed since creation 1T would sound tho
death-knell ambition" he says because ambition
must of necessity, depend upon combination for its
reward" Further assertion is made that 1t has been
demonstrated fully that industrial combination is
indispensable element Of business life, and that
without il whole business fabric would disntegrate
and fall 1t must be borne in mind, he adds that in
dustralism and commercialism interdependent
and that whatever affects necessarily affects the
other But should lose sight of the dangers
that lie in the power Of combination" he says "and
greatest care should be to prevent that power be-
ing abused" That many combinations have abused
the power they possess without saying and it is
against them, and against beneficial combinations
that the corrective force Of public indignation and
criticism should be directed
