Munsey's Holding Company

Mr.. Munsey's political holding com.
pany is referred to by writer in
the New York World in this way:
Who but Frank A. Munsey-or may
be George w. Perkins-could have
conceived the eminently Armageddon.
fish scheme Of reuniting the republi-
can and progressive parties by a
holding party" to take the two Or
CARNATIONS over, "as holding com.
pany in the business world takes over
and amalgamates competing con-
cerns?" The republican party used
to be in the hands of a holding com.
.pany with Theodore Roosevelt as a
voting trust. In those days battling
for the Lord was "a perfectly cork
Ing time," and the enemy at Arranged
don was "slugged over the ropes" and
beaten to a FRAGILE" Then came a
day when the Taft administration, fol.
lowing the rule of reason laid down
by the supreme court in the Standard
Oil case, undertook to abolish the vot-
ing trust and dissolve the holding COM
,pany. The colonel promptly grabbed
all the assets that he could lay his
hands on and organized a competing
party which manufactured and sold
the same old stand-pat goods under
a new name. Both concerns are now
in bad way. and it Is not surpris-
ing that Brother Munsey looks back
regretfully to the days of the old poll
tical trust. But we fear he is too
late. As Mr.. Morgan once felicitously
remarked, with the consent and ap-
prevail of the colonel himself. you
can't unscramble eggs"

Equality Before Law

The Rockefeller case. coming imme-
diately after the conviction of the
labor leaders, puts the strength OF
our government to the test. 1t has
shown that it can punish wage-earn-
ers when convicted Of lawlessness-
can it compel a great flnancier to re-
spect the law? The importance Of
Rockeleffer's testimony becomes an
immaterial questionable issue now Is
whether a man can become rich
enough to defy congress.

A Strange Objection

Mr.. A. B. Hepburn, chairman of the
board of the Chase National bank Of
New York, says that the guarantee
of deposits would make the good
bankers responsible for the actions
of bad bankers. That Is a strange OBJ

requires personal security and does
not hesitate to compel the surety to
pay the debt of his principal.

PRIZE SERMON WAS DONE FOR
Presence Of Policeman Took the At
tentlon Of the Congregation From
the Words Of the Pastor.

On a recent Sunday the pastor Of a
New York church preached a sermon
which he had hoped would be partic-
ularly effective. Shortly after launching
upon his theme he found that the au-
dience, while not creating any real
disturbance, was by no means atten-
tive. All Of his hearers kept turning
their heads every little while and
glancing furtively toward the rear of
the church. Finally the pastor cast a
penetrating glance of his own into
that vague region. He discerned a
policeman sitting in a pew near the
door. Il knew then" he said, when
speaking of the incident afterward,
that the prize sermon was done for.
SO far as its hold on my congregation
was concerned. The policeman had
their attention until the end of the
service. 1t Is a curious fact that no.
where does n policeman create such a
sensation as in church. He may go
into theater, a lecture room or a po-
litical meeting and nobody except the
obstreperously inclined pays any at
tention to him; but just let him step
inside church, and he causes a real
commotion. don't know why. Ger.
tainly nobody expects to be arrested
during the service"

1t is now said on good authority
that the United States government Is
desirous of acquiring the old Dunkard
church on Antietam battlefield, and
that the war department will use it
as an office, If 1t can be purchased, ac-
cording to the Baltimore News.

Is complicated. as the deed of gift for
