The common has been welcome
haven for many on these hot summer
days and evenings, but many who use
it seem to forget that it is so charming
place to go to because it is kept neat
and inviting by the civic federation. II

of their old newspapers and put them in

work of the federation much easier
The common is made for use and every.
one is invited to use it, but it is not
made for abuse.

The Rhode Island society of the Gin
cinnati sounded patriotic note the
other day, when it adopted resolutions
protesting against the proposed destruc-
tion of the famous old warship Con-
stellation. AS the Cincinnati rightly
contends, the wooden relic of glorious
victories in 1912 should retain the vessel
in Narragansett bay as monument to
our early navy.

State Monuments for Confederate
Women -

Natchitoches Enterprise: A ooHu-
ment to the South Carolina women
of the Confederacy will be unveiled
at Columbia, in that state, on Thurs
day, April II next. This is in aNk
|cordance with an excellent idea
which, if carried out in other states
will do away with the unhappy con-
troversy that has sprung up over
propositions to erect monument to
the Southern women of the Six
ties" Instead of having a single
monument at Richmond TO all the
Southern women of that period, ket
there be erected in each state mon
ument to its Confederate women
That will settle all controversies on
the subject and bring forth variety
instead of the sameness OF design
that some ladies objected to. =.

UhO VNtIi S.lccefd Wiley?

There are two groups of people
Eiso are anxiOUsly watching and
waiting 20 see who will succeed DR..
Wiley. tH one group are the dls-
honest manufacturers, the foosi
|aduIteratOrs, the Nlsiskey blenders.
and the fraudulent patent medicine
promoters: those 'intetests" that are
@eying on the people through fraNt
and misrepresentation iN various
~ass. III the other group are the
people of the United States, and the
hOnest manufacturers. Which of
these groups will be rept in mind
AZ the selection of the man?-MOn-
zoe News Star.
The answer may be made from the
observation Of the Journal Of the
American Medical Association:
40 man who is worthy to sue
ceed Wiley will accept the position"
And this opinion is endorsed by the
people, the consumers, who recog
nized DIR Wiley as the ablest and
most Jealous of their champions.
IN the words of the Cleveland
Leader: The Taft administration has
been weakened and burdened by
Secretary Wilson and Solicitor Nc
Cabe and some of their underlings
and associates. Now it will face o
flaming public indignation. The loss
of DR.. Wiley can not be talked down
or defied with impunity.

TO PUNISH
 STEAMSHIP
 MONOPOLIES
Anti Trust Law Invoked in House Against Foreign
 Steamship Combines

Washington. May 1-To bring, the big foreign steamship monopolies within the scope of the antitrust law and to punish them for their "impu- dent and defiant attitude toward the commercial interests of the United States, the Humphrey bill, providing that no monopoly owned steamship shall be allowed to enter or clear from any United States port until the courts have effected a dissolution of the cor poration owing it, was unanimously reported today by the House Marine committee.
 The report asserted that the foreign steamship trusts, which handle 9S per cent. of the import and export business of the country. have been openly violating the Sherman law.
 Freight and passenger rates are fixed by agreement the report said. '"The lines in these combines distrib- ute the business and pool their earn 1ngs. They agree as to the number of vessels that each company shall run and the amount of traffic each line shall carry. To drive out independent lines they designate what they call fighting ships which run over prac- tically the same course on the same schedule as the independent vessels with instruction to cut rates to any extent"

SMITH & HG6E CLAIM
 THEY OWN SHARPENER
Hearing on Action Against Edgar F. Webster Resumed Before Judge
 Burpee Today.

The hearing on the suit brought by The Smith & Egge Manufacturing Co. of this city against Edgar P. Web ster, former assistant superintendent, was resumed this morning before Judge Burpee in the superior court This action was brought to test the ownership of a pencil sharpener. The company claims it owns the sharpener because Webster worked at 1t in the company's time and with the com pany,s employees. Webster declared he did the work on his own time and that the invention was rightfully his.
 Frederick Egge testified this morn ing regarding the cost of making the sharpener. He remembered having seen employees of the factory working on various parts of the sharpener. Other witnesses testified regarding the cost of making the machine.
 The contention of the plaintlns IS that they entered into a contract with the Rapid Manufacturing Go. of New ark to make a sharpener according to a certain model and that the Rapid company was to have control of the patent. The Smith & Egge Co. was to do all the manufacturing. Web ster was confidential assistant and ex- pert machinist and he worked on the sharpener. He later informed the company that he had applied for pat ents and had enlisted capital to manu- facture the sharpener. Smith & Egge then obtained temporary injunction restraining Webster from selling the patents.
 The trial was still going on at press hour.

PENROSE DOWN
 AND OUT IN
 PENNSYLVANIA

Harrisburg, Pa., May With the Roosevelt forces in complete control and Senator Penrose, the erstwhile state leader of Republicanism, the only absentee, what may prove to be the last Republican state convention held in Pennsylvania, today, began the work of ratifying the plans for mulated by the state delegates caucus, last night.
 With the completion of the work of the convention a political revolution will have been effected in Pennsyl- vania. If the Roosevelt forces work their will in the next session of the legislature, today's convention will be the last. One plank of the platform adopted. today, demanded that all candidates for all public offices, whether state or local, will be nomi- mated in the future by direct vote of the people at the primary elections.
 Among other salient features of the platform adopted are:
 Support of Theodore Roosevelt for President, direct presidential primar- ies. election of United States Senators by direct vote, defining the purposes for which money may be contributed and spent in general and primary cleo tions and limit the total expenditures erning elections felonies punishable by imprisonment, enactment of com- prehensive and effective public utili- ties law, employers liability and workmen's compensation act, protec- tion of women and children in factor ies and protection of miners, support of schools and public charities, includ- ing the fight against tuberculosis and more stringent pure food laws.

CORONER HAS RECOMMENDATION

Recommending the establishment of a proper place to treat alcoholic pat tents, Coroner Phelan in his report on the death of Thomas McGovern has found much to criticlse in the facilities at the county jail McGovern ended his life at the jail April 22 by hanging himself with a bed sheet.
 In his finding which was given to- day, Coroner Phelan says: Tn view of the absence of proper facilities at the fail. said death was not caused by the criminal act. omission or care lessncss of any person." Nevertheless the coroner finds that the authorities should provide a place for alcoholic patients either in the jail or in some outside institution.

While Theodore Roosevelt was president of the United States, and was ostensibly endeavoring to dis solve, or regulate the great industrial trusts, he was holding secret confer ences with agents of J. Pierpont Mor- gan, and especially with George W. Perkins. who is now so active in Roosevelt's campaign for the presi- dential nomination.
 Morgan is the financial dictator of the organization which Roosevelt per nlitted to absorb the Tennessee Iron & Coal Company, upon the pretense that panic would otherwise be averted, although the merger of the two concerns was a violation of the law of the land. It will be interest ing to see what kind of a corporation the Steel Trust is and what it repre- sents, for the purpose of perce1ving the potent part that 1t may now be playing in Roosevelt's campaign, and that we may be better able to under stand why Roosevelt always culti- vated its friendship.
 The report of the Stanley Commit tee furnishes the necessary and hith- erto officially lacking information.
 Twenty-three men-officers and directors of the United States Steel Corporation-are in absolute control of corporations representing capi- talization of s35,521.14s,o0s.
 Pause and think over the fact that the total wealth of this nation is only a little over three times this sum, and then comprehend what this means.
 It means that a mere handful of men-twenty-th three in number-are in lion people combined.
 And because of their unlimited power to charge the public whatever price they desire to exact for a pub lie service over which their chain of monopolies extends. these twenty three men are daily growing still richer than they are even now, while so.00o,0o0 people are daily becoming poorer In other words, the strangle hold these wenty-three men hold over s0,O00,000 people enables them, by the simple process of tightening the screws. to charge any price they may desire up to the ability of the people to pay.
 Senator LaFollette asserts that 70 per cent. of this capitalization is wa ter. Conceding that only 25 per cent. of ii is water. the answer is that the public is being forced to pay in ex- cesstve charges for the things that are necessary to live. dividends on a capitalization of &ss,so2,S57.52 that is absolutely nothing more than thin air. Thus the public is forced to pay annually to a small group of mon millions upon millions of dollars. not for service or goods. but as tribute
