AS might be readily guessed. 1T is an
Indian name, or at least the Indians
called the brook by a name which to
the early white settlers sounded like
'Pohick." The history of the church
goes back to the year of the birth of
George Washington-1732 In that
year Truro parish was created out of
Detingen parish. which had been Gre
ated out of Hamilton parish. and one
fact worth mentioning in connection
with Hamilton parish is that in it the
Rev. Mr.. Keith. grandfather of Chief
Justice John Marshall. preached for
many years.
On the creation of the new parish of
Truro, a frame church was built on
high land looking down on Pohick

1t was about 1865 that the question
of the rebuilding of the church on it's
first site or the setting up of a new
building on another site deeply agi-
tated the congregation. The church
building had been several times repair
ed, but 1t was getting old. the popula-
tion of the parish had increased, and
with the northerly movement of popu-
iatlon up the Virginia bank of the Po-
tomac the old church was off the parish
center. 1t was convenient to Gunston

The first church fell into decay and
disappeared, and the church of another
denomination occupies what is believed
to be the site. or at least is within
few rods of the site of the first church
of Pohick. In the changes which for
tune and misfortune have brought to
Pohick Church it's records and its relics
were far scattered. About fifteen years
ago there was a reawakening of in
terest in the story and the troubles of
this old church. and records and frag-
ments of records were recovered in
curious ways and places. Mr.. Slaugh-
ter. the Virginia historian, did much
excellent work in recovering records
of this church, and the Rambler recalls
that the vestry book. containing the
names of the vestry in Office at the
time the congregation took possession
of the new building, and containing
items relating to the construction OF
the building was found in the archives
of the New York Historical Society and
returned by that society to Pohick
Church. There is one bit of paper con-
nected with Pohick Church for which
close inquiry has been made by num-

This latter will require an intensive

already has been done by the bureau

Upon the direction of the President
or of either house Of Congress, the
commission has authority to investi-
gate alleged violations of antitrust
acts. Moreover, when a final decree
has been entered by the courts against
an offending corporation, the commits
sion may Investigate the manner i'll

against which decree Of dissolution

generalization. and our great captains
of industry are becoming daily more
animated by social purpose.
I'm this country we have two distinct
schools of thought in regard to meth
DDS of avoiding the evils of monopoly.
The progressive platform is based on
the idea of regulating monopoly: the
democratic and republican platforms
propose to regulate competition. The
progressive plan is to retain the eco
sessed by combinations, but to make
them serve the public. Such a plan.
worked out to it's logical conclusion
means inevitably state socialism, the
checking of individual initiative the
curtailing of opportunity. The Bis
marck theory of state socialism may
work out very well in a monarchical
country. but it is not adapted to the
spirit or the institutions of a free peo-
pie.
Hence, this trade commission law.
and Its companion, the Clayton anti
trust law. are based on the idea of
regulating competition and are in
harmony with the declarations of both
the republican and the democratic plat
FORMS
Some fear has been expressed that
will hurt business. Such a fear is
wholly unjustifiahle. 1t will disappear
as the ends and purposes and methods
of operation of the commission become
better known. American business men,
as a whole. prefer to deal fairly, to be
Just and honest with their competitors
As I have pointed out, the great ma
jority of the corporations doing inter
state business in the United States are
small corporations Is it not fair to
assume that they desire to be protected
in their rights of trade and be shielded
from the possible aggression of their
bulkier opponents?
DO not assume that mere bigness is
always synonymous with unfair prac-
tices. and that we are fighting only
bigness. A corporation within limits
is entitled to all the benefits that may
accrue to it through the possession of
large capital, and through the econo-
mics in production that may result
from operation on a large scale. All
the government requires is that it
shall not use it's size and far reaching
power in an unfair effort to injure or
destroy it's smaller competitor.
I'm other words. the trade commits
sion is to hold the road open to all.
IT, by superior business ability and
management you can produce and sell
cheaper than some one else, you have
such advantage in the market as that
may give you, but you must not en-
deavor to block the road. to interpose
artificial barriers between your COM
petitor and the market.
THE Clayton antitrust law defines
some things which constitute unfair
competition, but broad powers are
given to the commission to investigate
all complaints of these and other un-
fair practices; also to make investiga
tons on it's own motion. Its findine-
of facts in controverted matters are
final and conclusive.
In other words, the commission is
not merely gateway between COM
