Private Monopoly.

In his fourth article on the New
Freedom" running in the Worlds
Work." President Wilson says:
"we purpose to prevent private mo.
nopoly by law, to see to It that the
methods by which monopolies have been
built up are legally made impossible.
We design that the limitations on pri.
vate enterprise shall be removed, so
that the next generation Of youngsters
as they come along will not have to be-
come proteges Of benevolent trusts, but
will be free to go about making their
own lives what they Will; so that we
shall taste agsin the full cup. not Of
charity but Of liberty-the only wine
that ever refreshed and renewed the
spirit Of the people"
Every party since joint stock COM
panies got to look bigger than four
floors high has purposed to prevent pri-
vate monopoly by law. The difficulty
has been in doing II. The Sherman nm
t-trust law was once supposed to sup
ply the means by which trusts could
not only be ripped to pieces and utterly
destroyed. but also means by which
pools, price.fixing, ''gentlemen's agree
ments," labor union strikes. farmers
combinations and transportation associ.
a,ions could be broken up as interfering
with individual rights and hampcrins
the freedom Of competition. Applica'
tions OF the Sherman law have chanecc
the outward form Of monopoly. but left
II monopoly still. The antitrust law
Of this state is 80 commprehcnsive an,
rigid that upon reading II you wonder
how anything In the nature Of trus

Town Finances.

When the Holyoke wafer works sys-
TEN was purchased from the Lincoln
Land Company the property owners Of
the town voted to issue $4,000 in bonds
fer the property and equip the plant.
Later on it was decided by the town
council to change the power used to
steam and put down another well and
put in light plant. For this purpose
bonds were issued by the town council
without referring the matter to vote
Of the people, as could be done under
the law.
The amount of bonds issued, how the
money was expended, the cost Of the
water and light plant as completed and
how much of this expense was incluoed
in the floating debt of the town for
which funding bonds have recently
been issue ed, are facts that have never
app, ared in published report. II there
has ever been n published report OF the
condition Of the finances Of the town

gested the advisabili,y Of such report
in order that the taxpayers Of the town
might be given the facts in regard to
the finances Of the town but no such re-

want velvety skin, shaved with the
delicate softness so much desired, with
keen cutting edge, send your old safe
ty razor blades at once to Chicago, and
have them sharpened by the newesty e.
lectrical process, which makes the old
blade cut better than the new, and your
old blades are returned to you perfect

zor blades, but send them to-day, well
