STANLEY BILLS IiDORSED
BY THE PRESIDENT AND
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
Antitrust Measures Of the Administration Presented to
Congress Same as Those Previously introduced
by Congressman Stanley

Washington, Jan. 2J.-[Special. I'm
the text and provisions of two of the
most important Of the administration
antitrust bills, introduced in congress
last week, Representative A. o. Stan
ley has found justification for the
many months he spent in investigating
trust relations and in writing his re-
port and recommendations thereon
AS the parallel below will show, the
administration bills on interlOcking di-
rectOrateS and on giving damage bene-
fits to individuals in government anti
trust suits, approved last Thursday by
President Wilson after having been
drafted by the judiciary committee, are
almost verbatim reproductions of sim
liar measures introduced long ago by
the Kentucky representative.
In the interlOcEing directorate meas

SANKEY'S bill Of April ,, 1911. is used

and his penalties of 500 u day or one
years imprisonment, or both, are re-
produced outright In the individual
benefits measure Mr.. SANKEY'S bill Of
Aug. ., 1912, is used almost in its en-
tirety by the antitrust experts of the
present administration.
Stanley Finds Justification.
Thus, after Il long wait. Mr.. Stanley
is able to demonstrate that his pioneer
activities against interlOcking directO-
rates in 1911, and the report of his
committee which investigated the
United States Steel corporation in 1912
have become the gospel of the presi-
dent and his advisers in 1914. The
proof presented in the parallel col
umnS below is so absolute as to leave
no shadow of doubt behind it.
Representative c.. C. Carlin of Vir-
ginia and other members of the judi
Ciary subcommittee, which framed the
administration bills, freely admit that
they used Mr.. Stanley's old time Ian

Eugland's Tea.

Tea is always getting John
Bull into trouble. 1t will be the
death of him yet, if he doesn't
watch out. Away back in 1873,
it was tea that set coIonists re-
voting and that finally lost
America to England. 1t was tea
and a few other things that made
England ignore the warning of
Kipling-"Make no truce with
Adam Fad the bear that walks
like a man"-and to bring about
the thoroughly disgraceful An
glo-Russian alliance. Now it is
the tea that is destroying the
efficiency of the British army,
that has led the officers and gen.
tlemen of the service into whole
sale graft practices and has set
up one mighty scandal through
out England and her colonies.
The whole British army is said
to be a slave to tea-which COM
modify it can't get without pay

certain officers. Everything con-
sidered, it begins to look as
though soldier, if he must drink,
had better get honestly drunk
and be done with it rather than
to swig tea until he is a little
better than a Chinese opium fend
The empire on which the sun
never sets is in bad case, 1t
can't exist without tea. And it
is constantly threatened with the
direct results because of tea. 1t

Huerta on bow to drink whisky
or from Bryan on how to subsist

Ancient African: Custom.

In the Fourteenth century when
the African historian Ibn Batuta
made his journey across the de-
sert from Morocco to the Niger
he relates how water was stor-
ed IN trees by the people,"
this custom is still common in
Kordofan to this day. The tree
is the Bantam or Tebeledi tree
(Adansonia digitata3 it is no.
lowed out when necessary and is
in some cases mended with bricks
and cement.
The trees are filled up by the
Arabs during the rains and are a
source of income to their owners
terough the sale of the water to
travellers. The same traveller,
Ibn Batuta, mentions the keep
ing of bees in hollow trees for
the sake of the honey. This is
common practice in the Soudan,
weere hollow trunks, stopped
with mud, are placed in trees by
the natives with a view of At
tracing the bees for the sake of
their honey.
