Harper's Magazine: A Maine man
tells a story Of a friend Of his in the
west who was induced by a stranger
to buy what was claimed by the latter
to be the best wolf dog in the country.
A few days later the man took his new
purchase and started out early in the
morning to try him out. The dog soon
picked up the scent and started off, the
ma following on horseback. The
dog was soon out of sight. but the man
could hear him bark occasionally and
followed on. About noon he met an
other; man coming from the opposite
direction, and inquired If he had seen
a wolf and a dog anywhere, to which
the man replied that he had.
And how were they going"" querled
the man. WAS the dog nearly on

Another new building has been
erected out on the right of way at the

Out at GLASGOW, over the line in

for monopolies, it may be stated that
neither the president nor any of his
advisers believe that the time has
come when the American people will
reject competition for any form OF
regulated but permitted monopoly.
The president and his advisers MOI
only believe in competition, but they
believe in Jail sentences for those
who destroy competition. 1t is not

The clinic congress at Chicago
seems the climax of modern surgery
and is surely a triumph of which the
medical world everywhere may be
justly proud. Before a thousand ex-
perts in surgical technic there have
been during the past week performed
operations which for their marvellous
daring match the age OF miracles in
almost every. particular save raising
the dead.
To adduce a few instances. At the
clinics here conducted portions of the
intestines have been removed. a
piece of bone has been taken from
the leg of a patient and used TO mend
a diseased spine. Split arm bones
that would not knit have been pinned
together by silver nails and screws.
The entire lung OF a dog has been
removed and replaced as a hint of
what may be the future treatment Of
tuberculosis The calloused skin on
the eyes of a child thus blinded from

congressional Investigations OF trusts
previously made. II has been pointed
out that these Investigations have cost
the people thousands of dollars and
that the findings of the various in
vestigating committees ought to give
congress enough data to work upon.
These men, who are sincere and
honest, overlook the thoroughness
which is a chief characteristic of Mr.
Wilson. a noted educator, he natur-
ally turns TO the scientific practice
OF finding out all the facts before
drawing any conclusions. Congress
has made three important investiga-
tons Of trusts-that of the steel
trust, the sugar trust and the study
OF the money trust. The steel trust
hearings brought out the story of con-
ditions in that monopoly. The money
trust investigation was very thorough
and undoubtedly brought out enough
facts on which to base the legislation
which will pertain TO this phase of
the trust question.
But IL will not hurt for congress to
have all the information possible
when proceeding TO enact legislation.
There are doubtless many conditions
OF monopoly which require curbing
laws, but which did not appear in the
