The incoming Presidents understand
ing of Big Business is not crude. He
realizes that the opprobrium of the term
has to do, not with business bigness, but
with the essential character of the kind
of enterprises that go by the name of
Big Business, and that this is their mon
opoly phases Against monopoly, there
fore, he takes his stand. Nor does he
do so in mere epithetical way. Who
that reads his Chicago speech can any
longer doubt that he glimpses the giant
causes of monopoly and aims at eradicat-
ing them? Common resources must be
administered for the common benefit.
Raw materials must be available to every
body on equal terms. Likewise, credits
in exchange. And in addition to these
guarantees against monopoly, the bust
ness of the country must be set free

The DiStruSt of the
Judiciary

Wise words were those of Mr.. Wilson
in his Chicago speech with reference to
public distrust of the Judiciary" "a
belief is fact, (" he said, and 1t is be-
lieved in this country that a poor man
has less chance to get justice administer
ed to him than rich man" Not only
is Mr. Wilson right in saying that this
belief is a fact, but he warns wisely when
he tells us that this belief, so long as it
presists, constitutes threatening fact. "
American citizens of whatever social or
professional class will serve the country
better by needing Mr. Wilson's warning
than by magnifying the antique notion
that judges are sacred cows. The Pub.
lie.

of the grand council at Constantine
pie to accept the advice of the pow

remains to be settled in the question
of indemnity. The allies propose to
levy a heavy payment on the defeated
nation. They speak of s2O0,OOO,O00

SANITARY SEWER
PLANS IN FAVOR
But When 1t Comes to Added Bur-
den of Storm Sewers-WelI,
It's Different.

The plans for the proposed new sewer
work in this city are now on file in the
City Clerk office in the city building
and are being viewed by many citizens
every day.
The plan of the sanitary system, which
is estimated by the engineers at $50, 900,
including the disposal plant, meets with
the general approval of everyone who
looks over the plans.
This is not true, however, of the storm
sewer plan. Much kicking is being reg
istered against the big six-foot outlet,
claiming it an unnecessary burden upon
the town, and it is generally believed
that, with relief to the storm sewer out
lets in the east and west ends, the pres
sent outlet of the Main street sewer is
sufficient.

. STEAMER IN COLLISION
WITH A LARGE SHARK.

Washington, Jan. 81. - The
Ward liner Havana, according to
a wireless report, was halted on
it's course when 40 miles north of
Jupiter light, on the coast Of Flor
ida by 3O-foot shark which had
collided with the ships bow.
When the vessel stopped it was
found that the prov of the ship
had struck the shark just about
amidships, so that it's head was
on one side of the vessel and its
tail on the other. Though still
alive, it was unable to extricate
itself until showed out of the way
by strong-armed men from the
Havana's crew.

Conspicuous in the speech was a plain
notification that the only business men
with whom President Wilson dare coun-
sci are those who intend the same things
that he intends. A severe indictment
this, of the good faith of leading business
men; yet one which is fully warranted by
President Taft's experience as a human
island surrounded by men who know
precisely what they want. But its i'm
portance as an Indictment of such men is
slight in comparison with its value as an
assurance that their reign is to end with
the outgoing administration. This as
surance in itself might be of little value.
But Mr. Wilson bases it upon and but
tresses it by political and economic prin-
ciples which proclaim as utterly hostile
the things that he intends to those that
Big Business wants.

The Wilson Policy as 1t
Relates to Business

Woodrow Wilson'S speech adds sub
stantial reasons to those already accum-
ulated for confidence in the incoming adj
ministration. Simply as oratory, it
should rank high. In substance aud tone
it was extraordinarily appropriate to the
occasion; in its appeal it was considerate
but firm and modestly eloquent. To the
mass of American citizenship, however,
the great virtue of this speech is the
heightened assurance it gives of the de-
pendableness Of Woodrow Wilson'S dem
ocracy.
