 What will the state do to alleviate such an evil? The necessity for an iu- stitution to care for the mental de- fective is imperative; nothing that could come before the legislature should have more serious consideration. An appropriation of $100,000 to build ard maintain such an institution has been asked for. The state is responsible fer it's children.

 The Desperation of Buyers
 How desperately earnest are some who arc representing foreign nations in this country with intent to place orders for war munitions may be illustrated by the ex- perience representatives of Holland have recently had in the United States The HollG nders were anxious % place large order for rifles and were willing in or der to expedite the manufacture of them to pay 75 per cent in excess of the regular price provided the rifles could be manu- facturd and delivered within the stipu- lated time. One of the great manufactur- CTS was brought in touch with the repre- sentatives of Holland and when the propo- stion was made the manufacturer replied that he would gladly have undertaken the contract had not EnBlanu only HNe hours earlier entered into contract with him for rifles. the manufacture of which would occupy his entire plant for some months. Then these representatives of Holland met the managers of a large rifle manu- | featuring concern at Hartford and made like proposition to them. They were chagrined when the Hartford manufac- ! tu-ers said that hardly an hour had elapsed since they had entered Into con-
 tract with Russia for rifles whose man.

By HOLLAND

New York, June 10.-(Special)-Wer J. Pierpont Morgan Norman B. Ream or Marshall Field or Abram s. Hewitt alVe he would read with sense of persohai vindication the opinion recently handeo down by the circuit court of the unlteo Ststes at Trenton in which the govern ment was defeated in it's attempt to dis sclve the United States Steel corpora tion. For they would not fail to discover in the opinion reasoning and judicial state ment of facts which are on all tours With the reasoning and facts not known to ,he public which led these men with others 70 organize the United States Steel corpora tisn. Yet Judge Burlington, who wrote the opinion, and all the justices who were fin agreement with him in all probability did not know what the history of the pre- lin.inary steps which led at last to the or ganization of the Steel corporation was. That history might have been appropriate ly incorporated in the judicial opinion, sl- though it is for the most part unwritten history.
 What led to the organization of the Steel corporation were the various conferences ana discussions which took place in Cnl- cago in the nineties and which at first had for their sole purpose the perfecting of the Federal Steel company S orga- lz;- ton In those discussions it was at last disclosed that it was vitaL if this steel indtstr in Illinois were to accept it's op- portunities that it should very largely in- crease not merely the amount, but the character of it's output Instead of man. ufacturng four or five commodities Il should if possible manufacture many, and principally commodities which are utilized in the manufacture of other articles. The rang. which was sought to be attained reached from steel rails, billets and the like large commodities, down to wire, even of the kind used in the manufacture of fish-hooks or needles In this way, sales men could be kept occupied and there would be no competition with those maA.- ufacturers whose output is finished ar ticle

The following is from an editorial in the Tuscaloosa paper. indorsing a state society for mental hygiene: MT. Cliff ford Beers. secretary of the national committee on mental hygiene came to Tuscaloosa in line with movement re- gently begun and indorsed by the state Medical association at its Birmingham meeting, to organize state society for mental hygiene"
 MT Beers outlined in a very lucid way what is being accomplished in other states through the agencies of the state societies, these are affiliated with the national committee. He urges the movement to be kept going in Alabama.
 The following resolutions were 9 dopted:
 Resolved, first, that this gathering favor the prompt organization of state society for mental hygiene and pledge to it cooperation.
 Resolved, second, That. in view of the recent action of the Alabama State Med ical association authorizing the appoint ment of a committee to organize such a society, the president of the medical association is thereby requested to pro- ceed at once to effect such an organi- zation.
 A committee Is now being selected by the state association and will be an nounced soon.

tons or corporations be brought into one family. The chief reason which led Mr Field to this view was the fact that the Federal Steel company, as it then was called, possessed only one organiza tion Other corporations had built up efficient organizations, although each one was. relatively speaking. small, but the or ganizations were complete. Therefore, if these could be brought into one family there would be created a single strong
 central organization having authority over
 a good many smaller ones. For organiza- tions of this kind seemed to be of greater necessity than capital. There would. be nc difficulty about securing abundant cap- ital in little while, but it might take a long time to create and perfect new = ganizations.
 There was substantial agreement also that the new organization should not un- dertake to absorb everything so as there by to secure monopoly. There were eco- l nomic as well as political req sons for this decision So when the new organizati ton of the Federal Steel company was well under way various independent organiza- tons which had not been taken in--one in particular in Colorado-made application | to be numbered among the members of the
 new family. But these applications were denied.
 1 Another subject which required long dis cussion was the best way of eliminating brutal, destructive competition of the kind
 which involves price cutting and various
 unfair methods of competition without at
 the same time impairing ability to main- i tain honorable competition. This purpose
 was at last well worked out and the be
 lief was strong that the domestic indus ] try and what later would be developed in 1 fol eign trade would be large enough to give every well regulated corporation in 1 the steel industry fairly good chance to
 maintain honorable competition.
