The Trusts of England.
Read the history of England and
you will find that the history Of the
common law is but the story OF one
continuous struggle upon the part Of
the people of Great Britain to over.
throw the trusts and monopoiies Of
that day and bring their authors to
punishment. The common law Of
England and the statute law Of that
time teemed with provisions pro
nounc.ng severe penalties in the shape
OF Imprisonment and fines for those
who would create or attempt to
create monopolies. At one time It
was a very common custom for i'm
pecuniors monarchs Of Great Britain
to swell their private exchequer by
granting for a consideration a rnonop.
oily of one commodity or another to
favored individuals. One OF these
grants was a monopoly Of salt and the
grantee Immediately raised the price
OF salt from sixteen pence to fifteen
shillings per bushel. producing extra.
ordinary hardship among the very
poor OF England. But the people ap.
.pealed to the courts to relieve them
from these burdens and exactions and
Lord Coke, who was the high chan
cellor OF England, declared that all
these monopolies were absolutely void
as contrary to public policy and the
common law Of England. Would that
to-day we had Zeno to write the
laws, Coke to construe them, and
a Washington to execute them!
What an exodus there would be Of
the vauderbilts and the Morgans and
the coulds fleeing from our shores as
criminals and paupers, while their III.
gotten wealth went to enrich the trea.
,sury OF the people they had plundered.

The Young Mans Chance.

From factory and office, up to
college and church, the cry Is
for the young man. The world
is his, to do with as he sees tit.
The young man of today is
master of business at an age
when his grandfather had
scarce finished an apprentice
ship. Universal education and
quick and cheap communication
bring to the young man now a
practical grasp of affairs, which
only long years of experience
could give our fathers fifty years
ago.
This is very well to know, If
the young man will also keep in
mind the fact that he will not
always be a young man.
In the same degree that he has
opportunities when he is young
he will be deprived of them
when youth is gone.
1t behooves him, therefore, to
provide against the enforced re-
tirement that awaits him just
at the time when he may begin
to feel that his experience fits
him for the best work.
If he is past 20 he must get
rid of the notion that he is
preparing" himself for life. 1t
matters not who he is or what
he is, he is living his life more
tensely perhaps, and more de-
Newport daily independent. (Newport, Ark.) 1901-1929, 1914-07-21

cisively in all probability, than
he will ever be doing at later
period.
If the young man is waiting
for some rich relative to die and
leave him capital with which to
start into business right, he
had better realize that the only
way to start into business right
is with his two hands, and that
the best capital nowadays is a
combination of industry, sense,
pluck and application
The young man who has this
capital needs nobody's money.
He who has it would not sue
coed if he had a dozen fortunes
as foundation.
Money today does less for
young man who will not also do
for himself than it ever did be-
fore in world history.
Money, lands, property, and
all that, form a smaller part il
human life today than ever be-
fore. Time was when these
things comprehended almost all
that men knew about or strove
for. But the field of aspira-
+ion. of effort and of accomplish
ment has UNNECESSARILY broad
ened as man develops.-Mem-
phis News-Scimitar.
