Of Industrial
Situation Is Started
by President Wilson

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 3.-The
beginning of a new, scientific investi-
cation Of the industrial situation, I'M
der the direction of President Wilson,
which will contribute to the admins
tration's trust legislation programme
at the session OF congress beginning
Dec. l, was announced here Saturday
by Commissioner Joseph E. Davies Of
the bureau Of corporations in an ad-
dress before the National Association
of Hardware dealers.
whether. a competitive system of
large units, or a monopolistic system
is the most advantageous to society
is the question the bureau will at
tempt to determine.
ut is characteristic of the quality
Of mind of the president of the United
States that he should desire facts on
which to base his judgment" said
Commissioner Davies. There are now
engaged in attempting to get scien-
tifc information on this fact. We
shall enter into this investigation
with the sole intent Of working out in
a scientific and fair-minded spirit the
facts, absolutely as they are. So vital
and so fundamental Is this problem,
that to attack it in any other spirit
would be criminal. What is needed
is light; not heat. The problem bris-
ties with difficulty. 1t will demand
increased appropriation from congress.
The results may not coincide with all
we hope to procure, but we can, how
ever, obtain facts that will contribute
toward correct Interpretation Of in
dustrial conditions as they exist"
Commissioner Davis declared that
the ultimate solution of the trust
problem depended upon h determin-
alton of the question his bureau, is
about to investigate. That, he belieV-
ed to be a fundamental behind Wheth-
er the problem might be solved by
amendments to the Sherman law; by
industrial trade commission, or by &C.
ton looking to regulation by the indi-
vidual states. If the m~onopolistic
should be found to be most efficient
there would still remain, he said, in
spite of that fact a question whether
the government should maintain an
attitude against monopoly by reason
Of other and greater additional evils
it induces.
Reviewing arguments for and
against monopoly, Commissioner Da-
! vies declared that one Of the chief
concerns of the great body of people
for whom the government exists. is,
which form of production, competi-
tive OF monopolistic, can produce and
sell what the public buys most cheap
ly consistent with a fair standard OF
living for workers. He sketched the
business growth of the country and
| the rise Of the corporation
within the last decade and a half
said he, two hundred corporations
have ON into property Of more than
twenty-five billion dollars. Two hun
dred artificial persons W three times
as much wealth as the country owned
in 1850. That sum is three n one
half times as great as the public debt,

Meat INJURIOUS
TO The KIDNEYS
TAKE A TABLESPOONFUL OF
SALTS IF BACK HURTS OR
BLADDER BoTHERS -- MEAT
FORMS URIC ACID. -

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well Unknown authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble. .:e
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork: they
get sluggish the e~liminatiVe tissues
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps Of lead. and you have
singing pains in the back or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you
have severe headaches, and
dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stom-
ach or rheumatism in bad weather, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys, to neutralize the acids in
urine so it is no longer a source OF
Irritation, thus ending urinary and
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink. and nobody
can make a mistake by taking al little

The gross income Of one Of these ar
t1fic1al persons is equal to the total
revenue of the government from in
ternal wen and customs. Twenty
four Of these corporations have thre
and one-half times the gross income
of the federal government"
"These facts are not cited as an in
dictment against the men engaged in
these enterprises. but simply to show
the way in which we are growing.
The period of greatest development in
this movement occurred in the face
of the Sherman law and prior to 1904
when it was first sought to be made
an active agency for the government.
There has come an economic rev.
olution. The unorganized many are
demanding that law shall protect
their rights from the encroachment Of
the few. The government or society
is concerned with these tremendous
industrial units on several different
angles. What effect have these gigan-
tic concentrations had upon the ques-
ton of representative government
and it's perpetuity? Is there danger
of the child becoming greater than the
parent? What safeguards must the
state throw about itself SO that pow
ers Of government may not be sub
verified by the greed Of men and the
inherent SSlIlSuneSS:
1.-THE economic aspects of the prob
lem, the far just attitude of the gov
eminent to capital invested and men
inter Tted in and directing these
great enterprises as we'll as to the
public at large, and what shall be
done to preserve freedom of opportu-
nifty for business, is the problem to
which congress will address itself in
the immediate future" 49,.
Commissioner Davies reviewed sug-
gestions for amendment of the Sher-
man law many of which have been in
PRODUCED as bills in congress, looking
to the prevention of the issue Of wa
tered stocks, i~nterlocking ownership,
common directorates and other similar
conditions to which many economic
evils are attributed. He spoke par
ticularly Of the contention that the
government should regulate and con-
troll prices. re 1859. -.
sour theory of government Is
wrong" said he, IF our laws shall not
decree that the few men who are trus-
tees for society and who should be
fairly and abundantly compensated
for the services they render, should
also be prevented from putting their
feet in the trough if they become ami
mated by he fundamental greed that
lies in human nature. Hy'@#< "|
"This problem reaches down to the
fundamentals of government itself; 1T
will tax the greatest minds of this
generation and the next. In its .solu-
ton there is a call to all outstanding,
thinking, patriotic men to aid in pre-
serving conditions which shall safe
guard the liberties of men and that
there may be an Industrial freedom
founded in this country which shall
enable our children to be men-not
slaves, either to an Industrial HER
archy Or to a governmental despo-
| tism."

100 Per Cent Bad.

New York World: Pres. Frank
{vanderlip of the National City bank Of
New York has pronounced the admin
currency bill so per cent good.
But at the inexplicable request of the
committee he has presented a
central bank scheme which will be 100
per cent bad to a majority Of the
American people and which the domi-
tnant party is expressly pledged against
by its platform.
This is mere shooting in the air. It
can only work for delay and confu-
sion The question at issue is the
pending plan subject to amendment in
"details. Far more to the point is Mr..
|Vanderlip's proposal that the proposed
note issues be made redeemable in
gold or other lawful money" at the
option of the holder instead of at the
option of the federal reserve banks.
This ought to make. the hill 30 per
Icent good to critics like Mr.. Wander
lip. 1t would compel these banks to
carry most or all of their note reserves
in gold. It would greatly strengthen
public confidence In the notes.
The bill as lit stands processes alle-
glance to the gold standard and the
gold parity of ali our money. Why not
reduce the profession to fact?

time, and of course the payment of
substantial damages. So, safety APP
peals to them as a matter of economy,
even when the humanitarian aspect is
left out.
1t is a matter Of record that two~
thirds of the industrial accidents are
due to carelessness on the part, of
employees, n a part Of the work or
the National Council for Safety Is to
give workers instruction in the mat
ter Of self protection. The plan pro-
posed to bring this about is to form
safety committees in each establish
ment. These committees will inspect
the factory nj suggest additional
safety measures,
The enormous Importance Of the
task which this organization has set
itself may be guaged by the fact that
somewhere in the United States one
industrial worker is killed every six
teen minutes of the year, and that
one is injured every sixteen seconds.
This works out into the staggering;
figures Of $4,000 killed and 1000, 000
injured every twelve months,

BILINGUAL TOPIC
IS CONSIDERED

Ottawa. Ont, Nov. 3.-The French
Canadian Educational association has
decided to hold a public meeting at
a late to be announced later, TO pro-
test against the action of the provin-
cial government I'M the matter Of BIZ
lingual schools in the province. Chair
man Genest and Trustee Freeland OF
the separate school board, are likely
to be the main speakers.
Senator Belcourt has also been men
toned as a likely speaker at the
meeting.
The members Of the st. Anne sec
ton Oh the st. Jean Baptiste district
held a meeting on Monday and passed
a resolution endorsing the action of
the Ottawa separate schoo board,
and particularly of Messrs. Genest and
Freeland in the present dispute.
There is little likelihood OF q con-
ference between Sir James Whitney
and his conferees in the city at the
present time, and the separate school
board.
Hon. /. b. Lucas stated this lorn
ing that rule II, based only on a reso-
luton, was not legal. The government,
however, would make lit legal, he said.
and would then enforce it.
Inspector Summerby is still in town,
but has made no inspections since the
Garneau school incident of last week,
when the pupils walked out. Further
than to say that the situation remain
ed unchanged, Mr.. Symmetry would
make no statement.

"SAFETY FIRST"

With the purpose of leSsening, SO
far as human agency can avail, the
number of industrial accidents, fatal
and otherwise, in the United States,
assscountry-w wide movement has been
set on foot under the direction of the
National Council for Industrial Safe
tH. with headquarters in Chicago, and
branches all over the land. Twenty
four railroad systems and more than
SOC of the largest manufacturing es-
Establishments have already joined the
movement. and it is intended that it's
scope shall be broadened as fast as
new industrial plants are started.

THE PICTURESQUE HENNEssY.

The most, picturesque figure in the
New York city campaign is John A.
Hennessy. He is flashing through it
like a prairie fire in a high wind. The
contest has been rather tame, in spite
of the vital issues, for want Of per-
sonal inspiration. The candidates for
mayor are both f1gureheads, and the
more conspicuous figures behind them.

body believes him when he breaks,
into voice. Sulzer was so discredited
in Albany that he is an unconvincing
messenger Of the truth about Tam
many. .
Hennessy filed the breach with a,
rapid FIRE of dynamite. He was Sul7
zer's special investigator of graft at
Albany and was loaded with ammuni-
ton. He began with prompting Sul7
Zer, as his namesake did Mr.. DooleyA

Meanwhile Governor Glynn who

SsHlzer lacks, character. He can strip
Tammany naked to public scorn with

BUSINESS IS EXCELLENT.

Despite all the furry Of the recent
tariff legislation, and the proposed
currency legislat ton, not forgetting the
fact of the new income tax, business
throughout the country is in excellent
condition, In it's regular monthly re-
view of trade conditions and h bust
ness outlook the First National bank
of this city sizes up the situation as
follows:
Taking a. birdseye view of the
business situation, we are i'm
pressed with it's steadiness in the
face of important measures just
made into new law the cur
.rency bill still before the senate.
We can recall times when bust
ness would nave been demoralized
Through the discussion of such i'm
aportant legislation. The present
business activity is real. Mills
care busy, railroads are busy, eX-
ports are heavy, money is easing
and in spite of much public and
press discussion of a peSsimlstlo
nature, the undertone of business
continues strong and healthy.
The letter Of the First National will
he found in, full in his issue. 1t cx-
plains that capital is timid largely on
account Of the uncertainty regarding
the proposed currency legislation, but
despite this nervousness, the business
OF the country swings on in full blast,
mills and factories are working to ca
pacity in most instances. there is an
eyer-growing export trade and the
whole tone of business is healthy.
AS The Forum sees the immediate
future it is one Of optimism. The
country has harvested another gigan-
tic crop, despite the fact that drought
played havoc in some of the south
central localities, and now that the
business of the country is more on a
worldwide competitive basis than
ever before, it is getting away from
domestic control, to a great extent.
Although Wall street may be timid,
the country at large feels confident
and optimistic regarding the future.
