The first serious criticism OF the
administration trust plans comes
from The Public, the weekly paper
published formerly by Louis Post, who
Is now assistant secretary OF labor un-
int
Public says the Wilson plan OF trust
regulation Is "pgerile." IL takes the
ground that all trusts are built on
special privilege and tho only way 10
reach trust Is by removing the spe-
cial privilege from under IT. AS an
instance The Public cites the ConnoIs-
vile cooking Goa. fields In Pennsylvania
where the trust owns 10000 acres OF
coking coal, practically all the known
coal OF this kind In continued United
States. Until this can be taken away
from the steel trust the latter organi-
zation can dictate prices on coke and
consequently on steel. The trust also
owns the greater portion OF the lands
bearing iron ore. The Public says
that no matter how much the Wilson
bills may regulate competition they
cannot restore competition until the
ownership OF these special properties
is Invested. No amount of regulation
against interlocking directories nor
even the putting OF few magnates
into Jail and stripes would reduce the
price OF steel products or interfere
with any OF the other monopoHes
which are based in special privilege
consisting of ownership OF natural re
sources, patent rights or the receipt
OF special favor at the hands of trans
portation agencies ~ railroads or
pipe lines

OLD INNS Of TYROL
Summer Guests Invade Them An-
 nuaIIy Seeking Simple Life.
Ancient Posting Towns, Struck Life, less by Coming of Rail Line, Res cued by These Visitors on
 Pleasure Bent.

London In judging of a people s character and idiosynCrasies by it's do nestle architecture, it Is safer to be guided by the habitations of the masses than by the more luxurious dwellings Of the classes whose taste. in time. has become tInged by what they have seen in foreign lands In TyrOl though it is really divided into two distinct regions by the great main chain of the Alps which has endowed each half with a climate, vegetation and inhabitants as distinct from each other as possible in country of such diminutiye size. We can observe these variations to better advantage than in most other places. Tyrol, which for centuries was the cockpit of Europe, held q unique position in another re- spect, for it's two main valleys formed the chief approaches to the lowest. easiest and therefore also oldest, of the great passes over the Alps. Not only countless armies. bent upon con quest or retiring In hasty flight, more particularly those all-deyastating hordes let loose upon Europe by the Nolkerwanderung crowded over the Brenuer, but also commerce and the arts and crafts of the middle ages took that route.
 Today as the traveller rushes through mole-holes many miles in length through the innermost bowels of the great chain. he hardly realizes. but for the presence of custom houses and the difference of vegetation. that he has performed in a few hours journey which took Durer or Titan as many weeks. and as he looks from his luxurious railway carriage down on the zig-zags of the well kept but de- serted Reiehs Strasse, or state road. t IS difficult to believe that along it.
