TRUST LAW EXEMPTIONS.

President Wilson, IT is said, opposes
legislation which will exempt labor
unions and farmers organizations from
the operation OF the antitrust law. A
bill which would grant immunity from
prosecution for agricultural and horti-
cultural societies not formed for profit
is now pending in congress. Ad.
vocates OF the bill contend that
such societies should not be hampercd
by the fear OF prosecution, inasmuch as
there would be no temptation to re-
strain trade or promote monopoly, in
view OF the fnct that the societies
would not seek to profit, but merely to
regulate and control the marketing of
products solely for the benefit of the
individual farmer.
If the contention is true, then there
is no need Of an exemption law. The
societies have nothing to fear unless
they unreasonably restrain trade or cs-
tablish monopoly. 1t is not likely that
the government would look for trouble,
Prosecutions would not be started in
trivial cases.
Undoubtedly those who advocate the
exemption are prompted by the best
motives. They feel that the farmers
will be, as they have been in the past,
the victims rather than the promoters
of monopoly and restraints of trade.
They should trust their cause, however,
TO the courts of the United States. The
department Of justice at Washington
will have its hands full in prosecuting
legitimate cases and is not likely TO at.
! tempt petty persecution. No organiza-
ton that is formed for the purpose of
square dealing need fear the antitrust
'law
Labor organizations have been de-.
mauding a similar exemption for some
years. They have come into conflict
with the law at several points, but no
clear case of injustice has yet devcl-
oped. The law al present is operating
even more vigorously against capitals
tic monopoly than against labor mo-
nopoly and restraints OF trade
AS a general proposition it must be
conceded that the law should bear
equally upon all parties. The time has
not arrived when IL can be said that IL

tieular class OF organizations II any
abuses exist they must become more

SoLICIToUs FOR SPEAKER

Representative Sloan Of Nebraska, g
Republican, took it upon himself dur
ing the debate in the house on the tolls
question Monday TO defend Speaker
Champ Clark. After declaring the ad
ministratiou had shown no real reason
for repeal Of the exemption clause, the
Nebraska member shouted; ''MuSt the
speaker sufferi Must he politically
die7 Then 10o,ooo,ooO Americans will
know the reason why.
Nearly forty years ago, when the
Democrats had control OF the house fol-
the first time since the outbreak OF the
civil war, and the outlook for Tilden &
election seemed good, "Sunset' Cox OF
New York, during the course of speech
charging the Republicans with squan
dering the people S money and advocat
ing economy, exclaimed; "And shall
rctrenchment die; and shall rctrench
meut diel Then 40,000,000 honest men
will know the reason why
The lines originated in England in
1855, when Sir Jonathan Trelawncy, a
bishop of the established church, in
common with six other bishops, was
tried on the ground Of protesting
against the declaration Of indulgence
issued by James IL Ho was acquitted
aud afterward joined William OF
Orange. There was great excitement
in England during the trial, the bishops
being in danger of losing their heads
at Tyburn or in London tower Bishop
Trelawney was an especial favorite with
the people Of Cornwall and the rally
ing cry, first uttered by Fawker, was
as follows: "And shall Trelawney die
and shall Trelawuey die7 Then 10000
Cornish boys will know the reason
why"
AS tho bishop lived to ripe old
age, so 1t probably will be some time
before the political death of Speaker
Clark will be announced. Retrencb
ment, however, died al an early age. II
is interesting to note that whereas 40,
900 Cornish boys were interested in the
fate Of Bishop Trelawney and 100000
600 "honest men, took the cause OF
retrenchment to heart, the entire popu
lation OF the United States and then

CRIPP'LING A LAW.

The hostility of Attorney General Nc
REYNOLDS to- tho federal white slave
law is communicating itself TO his sub.
ordinates. In Chicago department
OF Justice official declined 10 prosecute
an offender under the Mann act on tho
ground ihat there was no element OF
commcrialism. F.. G. Maston of Long
Island City, n. Y, was arrested on
the complaint of a 26-ycar-old steuog-
rapher, who said that Maston took her
with him to Kansas City and kept her
there four days. The federal investi-
gator, who refuses to recommend prose-
| cuiion, declares that the girl was old
enough to know what she was doing and
apparently did not object at the time.
Leon Bone, special agent in Salt
| Lake for the department of justice, de-
clares that similar policy will DC fol
lowed in this region.
In the Diggs- Caminetti case no elc'
yet the defendants were found guilty
and sentenced The Judge held that the
element of commercialism was not neces-
sarv to constitute the crime described
By the statute. The law makes no ref
erence to such an element, but it has
been read into the law by the interpre'
tation of Attorney General McReynolds.
The federal investigator OF Chicago
should be reminded that the young man
whom he seeks to exculpate was also old
enough to know what ho was doing,
Evidently it is the idea of the investl-
gator that women shall not be per-
mitted 10 use the white slave law as
club after they have consented TO the
breaking of the law. He seems TO hold
that because the woman has been an
sccomplice, so to speak, she is debarred
from complaining when there is no ele-
mcnt OF commercialism
parallel which will show the grav-
ity of the attorney generals position
on this subject can be obtained by sup
posing that saloon keeper gives liquor
TO minor without receiving pay. The
saloon keeper might argue that be
should be immune from punishment be
cause there was no element Of CONNER
ciaism. The Law, however, was dc
signed to prevent the minor from OBJ
tanning liquor The Mann law was de-
signed TO forbid just such acts as Mas
ton committed.
To interpret the law as meaning some.
thing other than its terms plainly con-
yey is to read into tho law a kind of
rule Of reason invented by the attorney
general If the law is unjust in that
il docs not specify an element of com
mercialism TO constitute the crime of
white slavery the law should be
amended, but those who maintain that
the Trainers of the law intended to
strike only at commercialized vice are
ant TO discover when they seek 10 amend
the law that its trainers meant just
what they said and that no new con
gress viii be inclined to modify the
law in this respect.

ELECTRICITY TO BE POWER
Owners OF Anthracite Mines in Penn.

at the mines at the present time is
given as 1851 kilowatts, which is APP
proximately equal to 1O5,40O horse
power The horsepower produced by
steam is given as 531,S11.
The first electrical installation in
mines was made in 1887 by the Penn.

DESERTS NO LONGER KNOWN
How Modern Man Has Successfully

to Progress.

Nature has set up four kinds Of bar
riers to mans conquest of the earth

not remove, so he bores holes through
them for railways The second he
has, most unwisely, largely cleared
away altogether The third he is be-
ginning to treat like the forests. The
fourth he is shifting to suit his pur-
poses and to regulate their flow at
will.
Man flies now over all boundaries.
He cuts through isthmuses to remove
the barriers between the seas.
Into the deserts man sends rail-
roads. telegraph lines, irrigation en-
gineers. The Great American Des.
art" marked upon the aliases Of our
fathers has ceased to exist. The vast
desert" OF northwestern Canada has
become a boundless prairie of waving
wheat. The Landes OF Gascony are
now much more than half covered
with pine trees. In 1902, $4,000 square
miles OF the Algerian desert had been
made fruitful by artesian wells. The
Australian desert" is rapidly being
irrigated and turned into grazing
land. Almost 10000 square miles OF
desert in India has been reclaimed.
Sir William Willcocks is now engaged
in retaining 10000 square miles of
the delta of the Tigris and Euphrates
and more than 1000 square miles Of
the Gezireh plain between the Blue
and White Nile are being transformed
into cotton plantations.
Thus is man, BY obliterating natural
barriers, improving upon nature.

WOMEN THIEVES IN CHURCHES
Articles Frequently Taken During

The suspects are all women. One
of them, at least, DISCUSSES herself IN

her prospective victims off their guard.
Others of the suspected gang are stun
ningly gowned girls, attired always IN
the latest styles One Of the suspects
is about fifty years old, another is said
to be not more than twenty.
Invariably the thefts are from worn-
en- in the congregations, and most
often the stolen articles disappear dur
ing communion services, when the
communicates leave their pews to re-
ceive the sacrament.
They return, to find that the de-
mure, well-attired girl who sat beside
them is gone; so also is the purse or
