Some Fruitful Competition.

Thus far, the outcome of government investiga-
ton into the business methods of the so-caed trusts
and the result of legislation designed to correct the
abuses which had arisen from restraint of trade and
various other business evils have been chiefly aca.
demic. Championed by the Federal and State au.
thorities. virtue has been made to triumph and il
legality has been shown to be or less odious.
The word monopoly has taken on a new meaning,
which has made it less attractive in theory however
firmly it may still retain its original significance in
practice.
Before this praiseworthy reformation was Under
taken by the government there was extant through
out the country-at least among the plain people
the belief that governmental interference if ever it
should come, would result Immediately in a marked
ameloration of certain existing hardshps One of
the most potent weapons of the political speIlbinder
was the promise that government supervision and
regulation of big business would add greatly to the
JOY of living by reducing its cost.
Although many specious arguments in support
of this theory were advanced by these political
wiseacres, time has revealed their faacy The dis
solution OF business combinations has been going on
merriy for several years and, quite appreciably,
the of living has been climbing steadily. Those
who accepted the doctrine that the smashing of the
trusts must result in cheaper living have probably
awakened to the fact that there is absolutely no
connecting link to bring the two things together.
Nothing that the government has done or is likely
to do will go far toward solving the problem of ad
vancing prices for those things which have come to
be regarded as necessary. 1t is puerile to cherish
any delusions of that sort.
Recently, as the result of some experimentation
in modest way in New York City. remedy has
been found which is reasonably effective although it
is by no means panacea. 1t is not even new, but
may be termed a rediscovery Perhaps it would be
better to speak of it a revival Its active princi
pie is competition. 1t consists of number of open
markets established temporarily in various unoccu-
pied areas throughout the city, In these markets it
is possible to obtain meat, vegetables, fruit and all
other farm products at prices which eliminate the
scapegoat known as the middleman from the dis
cussion.
That this is competition which actually COM
petes is evidenced by the attitude of the regular
dealers, who have been constrained in many in
stances to readust their price lists to meet the he
roc cuts of the marketmen. ....

So, while it may De comparatively an easy matter

Engands activity in intercepting vessels loaded
with oil destined for Germany through neutral ports
is explained by an article in the London Chronicle
appealing to this country to prevent the shipment of
millions of gallons of oil from this country TO supply
Germany with instruments of barbarism." Certainly
would seem that oil intended for the equipment of
arships ami bombs should be classed as oontraband,
much so as guns and ammunition; but if the
necessary formality has not been complied with this
government is powerless to prevent such shipments
Meantime it is not to be wondered at if British naval
officers jealous in trying to intercept shipments of
oil, though it is yet to be shown that they have ex-
oeeded their rights. If the seizure of the John D.
