of the dissolution suit instituted IL

credible series OF events which led TO
the organization of the so-called trust
and hung a bright new tale on An

The governments case is based on
the mass of evidence which, gathered
in the last three years, is intended to
prove that a war of unbelievable saw
agery existed between the different
steel companies, and that the Morgan
and Carnegie groups of financlers mad
amassed untold wealth by getting the
companies together into one solid
working and monopolistic unit.
The federal government approached
perilously near to ironic humor when,
in proving that price-fixing pools had
existed between the different steel
companies, it presented what will
probably become one of Mr.. Carne

that the Panama canal will be opened

more than 80 feet of water on and
after August Is.
con that date" he said, Colonel
Goethals will inaugurate the CONNER

be no ceremonies. The official open
ing of the canal will be March, 1915
Announcement will be made when
more than 80 feet of water has been
secured"
When the government boat, the
Cristobal, steams on August Is from
it's slip to the Atlantic entrance of
the canal, it will mark the conclusion
by American enterprise of the great
est engineering task ever undertaken.
Some things remain to be done to
perfect the waterway. The channel
through the Culebra cut must be
deepened and widened so that it will
not be necessary for the great liners
and battleships to pass through the
tricky "slides" at Cucaracha and
Gold Hill in single file. Much exca-
walton must be done in both APP
proaches.

Pipe Dreamers" and Legislation.
(Republic Journal)
Hoot the pipe-dreamers who are
agitating for laws to make people
angels, and reviling the spirit of our
paternity which did SO much for the
wonderful advancement of this coun-
try. Before these freakish Nemesis
were successful in injecting some of
their dope into our statutes, perjury
was considered a disgrace and bolts
for doors were unnecessary. We
now have laws (probably introduced
by criminally inclined who cannot
resist temptations and imagine they
are samples OF mankind) that have
a tendency to teach one to have no
confidence in your neighbor and your
conscience has to be regulated by
legislative acts.
