The Lack Of Interest ForcibIy Explained.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sfr. Prcsi-
dent Wilson is quoted as having expressed
surprise at the small interest taken in tho
new "anti-trust bills: no business men
have accepted the invitation to be present
at the hearings In connection with the
proposed legislation.
The fact that the business community
as whole IL totally uninterested should
surprise no one.
The attempt Of the Government to regu-
late everything from marrying to the SELL
ing OF peanuts has brought In Its train It's
own downfall
The attempt to solve one dilemma has
bcgotten another and the end Is in sight.
The eugenic marriage law in Wisconsin
has resulted In the collapse OF all stat
untes regulating marriage. widows PEN
sions. In the States where they are In
force. have resulted In nothing but per-
jury and wife d.sertion on an Increased
scale. Bank deposit guarantee legislation
In Nebraska and Oklahoma has turned
rogues into bankers and the guarantee
funds themselves are insolvent. Undue
restrictions on the sale OF alcoholic bever-
ages everywhere result in loss OF revenue
by the State. deceit and increased con-
sumption OF inferior liquors.
These isolated experiences have opened
the eyes of the thinking public to the alb
surdity OF most OF our present day fads.
and the business world In particular now
realizes that the exemption OF labor un-
ions from the provisions OF the sherman
law, the elimination of the rule OF reason
In it's Interpretation. and the addition
thereto OF defnitive restrictions in Its
application. would result IN It's complete
abrogation.
For these reasons business men have
shown no interest In the proposed legis-
la,,on and have failed TO attend the legis-
la.ivs hearings Ai.prRr X. GALLATIN.

ton and Fight the Antitrust Bili.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUS-Sir: Pres
ident Wilson cannot understand why big
business men do not rush to Washington
to oppose before tho committees the pas
sage OF his anti-big business bills. The
reason 10 simple. There 10 perhaps not a
single conspicuously successful business
enterprise in existence to-day which may
the Sherman act. be adjudged TO have
Violated It. and there 10 perhaps not a
single erstwhiie honored captain Of In
Sustry who may not, under some such
construction of IT, be liable to criminal
prosecution.
These men. and all men. know from
past experience Of the methods OF Presi-
dent Wilson. that nothing they can say
will prevent tho passage OF his anti-big
business bills In substantially the form In
which they have been introduced. They
believe that TO appear in opposition to
them can do no possible good, but may
result In marking them a. victims for
slaughter hereafter 10 make another new
freedom holiday. Therefore. like sensible
men. they are holding their tongues.
The simple fact 10 that successful busi-
ness men to-day In this country are afraid
to say above o whisper that their souls
IRE their own. for fear the interests en-
trusted to them will be made to suffer for
their temerity.
The peace OF which President Wilson
In his recent address to Congress boasted.
does not, as he seems to think. represent
the meeting OF minds. II Is only the
tribute of fear which all sensible men pay
to the man who has the power to ruin
them. when they believe he will use that
power to punish any one who does not
sneeze when he takes snuff. Such peace
is akin to the peace OF death. J. Il. Il.

The resolution also suggested that al
international programme committee be ap-
pointed two years in advance OF 1915. This
committee. however. never was appointed
and until the recent action of the United
States there was no sign OF the Govern
ments taking any action whatever. II Is
now proposed that the Dutch Government
ssue tn. formal call, and II Is this pro-
ceeding which involves delicate questions
Of precedence among the Powers.
II was felt that the United States could
not properly assume the prerogative Of
calling the conference without trespassirg
on the feelings of one or more OF tho
European Powers
On the other hand. II was desired thai
some action be taken and also that the
matter be not left wholly TO Russia, Con

II was not intended, however. that a.

In 1915.
HOLLAND MAY ISSUE CALL
Circulars Are Sent to FOREIGN
Governments to Have a
Programme Prepared.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Steps are b.n,
taken by the United States Government
to prevent the proposed third Hague con.
ference In 1918 from going by default
Tho Indifference OF the other Govern.
ments up to this time has jeopardlzed
the meeting Of the conference In 1915.
and II is now believed that at best Tn.
United States will succeed only in bring.
ing about u definite agreement that the
conference be held In 1915.
Two distinct steps have been taken
by Secretary Bryan with regard to thu
holding of the conference In 1915. On
Saturday last he circulnrized the for.ign
Governments which have participated In
previous conferences, suggesting that the
permanent advisory council OF The Hague
court be constituted y committee to pre-.
pare II programme for the next confer
cnce. This advisory council consists Of
the diplomatic corps at The Hague
The other step was An instruction to
Minister Van Dyke at The Hague to

not she would DO willing to issue a cali

summer OF 1915.

This action was supposed to he held
confidential until a reply had been re
ceived from Queen Wihelmina, as 1t was
feared that, owing TO the delicacy OF
tho situation. embarrassments might en-.
sue II 1t became prematurely known that
the United States was seeking to have
the Dutch Government take the Initiative
The first Hague conference was called
by the Car Of Russia. The second was
called for by President Roosevelt. but
some OF the powers then suggested II
might be better to let the Car again
issue the call, especially as Japan and
Russia We're then ut war and did not
care to take part in another Hague con.
ference ut that time. Accordingly the
Car issued the call for the second con
ference, held In 1907. to which practically
all tho Governments OF the civilized world
responded favorahly.
II WAS the sentiment OF several Gov
ernmer,s at the second conference, and es-
pecially the United states, that the hold
ing OF later conferences should not be de-
pendent on any one Government or ruler
Largely through the influence OF tn.

Holly.
Nothing is quite SO "christmassy''
as holly, and TO most of us Its dark
green shining leaves. and brilliant
scarlet berries seem symbolical Of the
real spirit Of the joyous Yuletide.
The decoration Of houses with holly
dates way back TO the old, old pagan
times, when ancient people. held a
yearly feast at the time OF the blooms
ing Of the holly, In honor Of the god
OF agriculture, who made the cheer
full holly to shine forth over the
snow when all things else were bare
OF leaves and no green plant showed
its face on the face Of the earth.
In the beginning the church for
babe the Christians TO deck their
dwellings with its greens, fearing the
custom savored too much Of the
ancient heather rite. but later such
good and far-seeing men as Angus
tine and Gregory made splendid use
of the old custom and not only allow
ed the people to make their homes
gay with eyergreens, but persuaded
them to decorate public shrines and
churches as well.
Mistletoe was not brought into the
churches In those early times, as the
people still held that 1t was too
closely connected with the pagan GER
