 To what extent the water transpor. tation controlled by the New Haven Will enter into the case cannot be stated at this time. The Panama ca. nal act of 1911 requires all railroads engaged in interstate traffic to diyest themselves of all competing steam ship lines on or before July 1, 1914, except in so far as they are permitted to retain them by the interstate con- merce commission in the interest of the public.
 The commission already has indi- cated that it, too, will strike a blow at the New Haven on this side of it's financial operations.
 No opportunity will be given the New Haven, by offering voluntarily dissolution, to escape being cited to appear in court Mir McReynolds in- tends to bring the suit in any event, and to fight it through to the end. If the railroad offers to compromise on a decree of dissolution the attorney. general may consent to open negotia- tions with that end in view, but his policy will be to have the matter on record in the court.

LEADERS DISTURBED OVER NEWS HE WILL TELL THEM-kIND
 OF BILL HE WANTS.
BUT THEY WILL OBEY HIM
Laws for Big Business Will Be Based on Restoration of Competition Without Attempt at Gov
 ernment Reguati

Washington, Sept. 30.-President Wilson is so calmly certain, in spite of loud noises from the senate com- mittee room, that currency legislation Is going through as he wants it, that already he is giving closest consider ation to the nature of his antitrust recommendations which will be sub- mitted to congress in his message in December
 Democratic leaders in congress are said to be disturbed over the news that the president will tell them what kind of an anti-trust bill he wants them to pass. It is not the first time since MT. Wilson became president that his party chieftains in official life have been troubled over his initi- ative activities. Members of the op- position parties say that their breth- ren of the other faith ought to be used to it by this time. Whether they are used to it or not. it Is apparent from what some of them say in undertones that they are painfully aware that if
 
 own behalf in advance of the presi dents recommendation they must count their work ultimately as lost and do the White House bidding.
 Long ago, as it now seems, although it was less than a year in the past Mir Wilson said he believed big busi- ness in the United States could be brought back to a competitive basis. He did not, and apparently he does not, believe in regulation, which Pro- gressives think is the only sane way to handle the trust evil, and neither does he believe, as some Republican senators and representatives do, that the courts should be allowed to con- tinue their handling of the cases on the basis of present existing legisla' ton.

Tariff Bill As He Wants 1t.

The tariff bill is as Mr. Wilson wanted it. His close advisers say that the currency bill also will pass as he wants it, and to the ordinary ob- server of things, even in the presence of present congressional antagonism to the measure, it seems certain that ultimately the president will get what he wants. The Democrats do not want to do his bidding in all things, and yet they have done it and they are doing 1T and so fairly disinterested Wash ington observers of events past and present feel justified in holding that antitrust legislation will take the Wilson form just as other legislation has done and is doing.
 Representative Clayton, chairman of the house judiciary committee, which has been considering subjects of interlocking directorates. has had many a conference with MT. wilson, but nothing specific concerning the matter in hand has been agreed upon. The president Is studying trust mat ters on his own account, and in six or seven weeks he will put the result in the form of a message which he VIII read personally to congress. Progress siyes and Republicans say that the president is bent on trying to accom- plish the mountain-big task of putting business back where 1t was when every cut that Smith x Go. made WAS met by cut by Jones & Co. un- til the consumer got lot of stuff that he needed and a lot more that he did not need at a price less than the cost of production.
 Wilson Will Take Initiative.
 The Progressives and the Republic ans. of course, are prejudiced, but President Wilson unquestionabiy has a belief which he thinks has rock foundation that he can restore colh- netitiye conditions, kill the trusts, keep individualism alive, make us arain a nation of small shopkeepers and manufacturers and prevent the amassing of billion-dollar fortunes by men who cannot spend their money after they get it.
 Perhaps interest in Washington Is not so great in the result of the legis- latior after it has been passed as 1t IS Tn the question of where it is to be framed, in the White House or in the big house on the hill. The Demo- cratic leaders are averse to having

Washington, Sept. 30.-Attorney. General McReynolds is preparing to strike a legal blow at the New Eng land transportation monopoly.

In ancient history days the least of Thanksgiving lasted during one phase of tle moon and was a sort of harvest home" festival which vas called the Feast of Tabernacles. The offerings which the ancient Hebrews made 10 Sod on this occasion were gold, silver and precious stuffs, besides !aborers to work upon Inc rebuilding of the House of God Read the first chapter of Ezra and you will find that this is so. The Thanksgiving was an occasion of great pomp and ceremonE. Workers in the church of God from the head dignitary to the least among them were clothed in purple and fine linen and wore gold en bands upon their turbans bearing the inscription, Holiness 10 the Lord < They blew great tHgmpets as 4 signal, md all the people gathered together in the open places Of the cities singing and praieing God and giving thanks. Moreover. the building received the name of the builder The Temple of ZerHbbabel. for example. was built by Zerubbabel under King Cyrus.
